If you want decent prices and fast service, sure you can come here... but quality of nail polish has gotten down hill. 4 days passed and edges of nail polish lifting and already chipped off! This is supposed to be a gel manicure? Cant even last thru one week! read more

Have been coming to Helen for my pedicures and she's the absolute best!! She's super kind and thorough with her work. She gives excellent massages as well. I'll definitely continue to come to her for my pedicures as truly no one has done as good of a job as her - especially making sure I have no ingrowns! Came today yet again :-) read more

This place is great I've been here twice already on Sunday mornings and the took my party of 3 two adults and one child. Mani pedis for all of us. So accommodating , Nancy and Helen are great ! Helen does so great with acrylics they last forever and her special made colors are beautiful! Nancy does an excellent job on the pedicure gentle , and great massage with the sweetest smelling lotion. It's a peaceful and welcoming vibe, with a great experience! 100% recommend this place. read more

She was nice but wasn't really listening to what I wanted, I walked out with my nails lowkey lopsided. I asked for French tip and ended up with very much lopsided messed up nails. She tried doing a butterfly and ended up doing I don't even know what. read more

Mostly all good. I've been coming here since the previous owner was the boss lady, so maybe six years or so? The older lady, who I think is the owner, is extremely rough when she uses the nail brush and exfoliating bar. So much so that I got an open wound on my toe from her doing it. Also, her manner of treating customers can be greatly improved. She is downright rude to people. The polish usually lasts a awhile and the other gals are friendly and work efficiently. read more

Always friendly and doing an amazing job. Helen gives great massages on arms and legs. Love her style.

I was in search of a new nail place when i stumbled upon Color Me Nail! The atmosphere is super chill and the song choices are always fun, when it comes to service I give it a 10/10! Helen (the owner) is always so welcoming and always knows how to bring my nail requests to life! Down to the last detail, Helen makes sure my sets are always perfection. read more

I was looking for a nail shop near me and saw this place. I looked through the reviews and saw mixed feedback, so I said why not and went. I was the only one there , and the place was silent. She made me wait a bit (only one lady) and I did. She wasn't really talkitive, but I didn't mind. She was definitely rushing, and I felt like she just wanted the money. Like she didn't really value the time, or commitment I was giving. One thing I did NOT like was the fact that she was really rough with me. very hard on the nails, poking and rubbing / pulling me, and it hurts STILL. not the very BEST service and kind of a sloppy job, wouldn't recommend. Nails came out cute, but with pretty obvious flaws. read more

I came here two times and Helen does a good job. It is clean and nice and I will come back! Thank you read more

Sloppy service. Always in some sort of a hurry to finish. My dip powder nails were messed up three times in a row and I am told by the owner I did something wrong. Either didn't place the fingers properly under the light or didn't hold my fingers stiff enough for the powder to latch on. One time she spilled a ton of oil used for massage on my jacket and blamed me for not rolling my sleeves up higher. I went back even after that incident because mistakes happen but I cannot take poor service. Not going back again. read more

I do not enjoy writing negative reviews, but the experience I had here, has led me to do so. My advice to you--is just don't. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Enough said. Trust me. Period. read more

This was the worst service ever!!!! Now I know why they didn't have any customers. I asked for Fade and yet they colored the entire nail. So I said again I wanted Fade and she acted like she understood. Then she continued and so I asked if that's how they did Fade and she nodded! OMG!!! Then they made grandma paint my toe nails and didn't want to help her fix the paint on my skin. She tried to fix it twice until I complained again. I didnt want to waste any more of my vacation time and said I wasnt happy and didnt like their service! I paid the full amount and walked out pissed and upset!!! I dont recommend them at all. I should've waited for the QT Nails that had lots of customers. read more

Awful nail salon. The hot towels have an odor to them like they have not been properly washed. The nail tech cut me 5 times and was in a rush to finish ( mind you I was the only customer in the shop). The service cost $100 when it should've have been $85. I will never come back to this establishment again and will actively tell others to stay away. read more

I've been going to Helen for years, why? She is consistent with her work. She delivers on what you ask for. Plus, her salon is super clean. If you're in the area, I recommend going to Helen. :) read more

I've been here three times now for a gel manicure + spa pedicure and Yelp's description of 4/5 stars is exactly how I would describe Color Me Nail - "good." This isn't a super fancy nail salon but they get the job done. My gel manicure lasts a good amount of time, they take time and care into the arm massages and leg massages. For the value, ease to make appointment, availability of parking, etc this is a solid nail salon that I'd recommend. read more

Don't do it! Unsanitary conditions, rude, & no care in the world for the customer. There is no airflow in this place. You can smell all the chemicals as you walk in the door. I give them one star for leaving the door open when I asked them to. My nail technician was so rough, she cut my skin, and as it started to bleed, I told her, "Hey it's bleeding."--- to which she said, "Oh that's normal." I should have gotten out of that chair right then and there. The nail polish was old, didn't come on smooth, when I asked her about it, she said when it dries, it will be shiny. While I was there, I saw the same nail technician take the tools she used on me, walked right over, to the next person, without even washing them. I got out of there right away. I'll NEVER be coming back here again. Don't recommend this place at all. read more

i went there and the lady are super nice, they waited for me even though i'm late. They are also super efficient at their work. I got a custom acrylic nails and they finish it super quick less than 1hr but the results are nice and super long lasting. really reccomended read more

Just had a wonderful experience with Queen pedicure done by Susan! She helped me with painful grown into skin nail on my toe, got rid off callous, did an amazing wax wrap and spoiled me with a relaxing massage! On top of that, I was gifted with nail files and flip flops with band around my heel to safely get home and not damage nail polish! Definitely more than 5 stars! read more

So I thought I would try this place since my nail lady had no openings I read the reviews on Helen and everybody had go reviews so I thought I would try. So I got there and had a appointment at 6 I had to wait 15mins which is ok.. then as I sat down she started to do my nails and she took out her acrylics and a cockroach flew out on me as soon as she took them out! At that point I should have left but I brushed it off. So I wanted a specific design and when she was done I got the complete opposite the lines were not straight the color was incorrect and the acrylic didn't even cover my whole nail. I was so disappointed I paid 47$ I was so upset I ended up taking my nails off the next day. I would Never come here again!!!!!! Beware they have cockroaches and they over charge u for shitty work! read more

What originally was my "emergency" stop has now turned into my regular nail place! I usually get gel nails ($25) and a fill (+$7) and and I have tried their Regular Pedicure ($20), Spa Pedicure ($25), and Deluxe Pedicure ($30). The Spa Pedicures include the hot stone massage, and that is the BEST. The Deluxe Pedicure is perfect for a nice treat-yourself-day, and the paraffin treatment deeply softened my skin which is why I would recommend getting it. Oh, and honestly the massage chairs are what keep me coming back here too. read more

It's been a while since I came here. It's been a while since I got my nails done, or was able to do so. Helen was standing outside as I arrived, and was ultimately the person who helped me. She was not much for talking, but she was focused on her work. And to be honest, it was astonishing. I loved watching her work. When I spoke she obviously spoke back, she was definitely not "anti-social" she was just an artist who did and seemed to enjoy her work. Leave it to Color Me Nail to keep some of the best staffing in the area :) As per usual I will be coming back for any work I need done and for fills of course, might just be requesting Helen again! Thanks Helen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My favorite nail tech Thu is no longer there. I've followed Thu to her new salon down the street called Sassy Nail. She told me that the owner of Color Me Nail has been giving out a wrong number for clients asking about where she went, so I docked off another star for that. read more

This is a hidden gem that I wish I would've found sooner. SUPER clean, friendly, and fair prices. There's never a wait and a bottled water is complimentary with each service. All their work is nice but the pedicures are my favorite since they use hot stone! You're even sent home with a goodie bag which makes me feel good knowing the same supplies aren't used on everybody. 100% recommend this place. I will continue to get my nails done here. read more

I've been coming here for a few years. Helen and her team are always kind and professional. Once you arrive, a mini bottle of water is provided to hydrate during your service. Helen is always willing to help provide popular color choices in case you can't choose from the numerous option available. I always look forward to the massages during my gel mani/pedi. Thank you, Helen! read more

Helen is very impatient. She rushed the service (full set). She cut me and left bumps in the nail polish. When I was ready to pay I handed her my debit card and she asked me to go to the ATM. I pointed at her credit card machine in front of her. She said she prefers cash, that her ATM machine only charges .75. Her ATM machine is in their break room. Anyway, I pulled out cash -__- I will never go here again read more

So happy that this local business is open again. Full on COVID-19 precautions taken to ensure everyone's safety. You call in to set up an appointment, sign in, temperature is taken and keep on wearing your mask throughout the service. Plastic splash guard protecting the technician during pedicure....pure genius! Grateful for life's little pleasures. Have not had a mani pedi in 6 months. Will be sure to come back again to this neighborhood gem. Do stop by and book and appointment with either Helen or Canh. read more

Had to wait almost an hour when it wasnt busy The lady that approached me asked if I have ever had my nails done. I wondered why... Asked for just a clean up of cuticles and cut.

Helen is the worst nail tech I have ever had. I called in and asked for a Jenny(someone refereed me for nail design) and when I got there Helen said there was no Jenny and she was the only one who did design..... Worst job ever. She doesn't know design. A 5 yr old could have done my nails. On top of that it was the most painful experience. She cut me numerous times. There is a huge cut along my pinky. Never have had this happen to me this bad. She is careless and super fast. No detailing or accuracy for design or your comfort. It was like I was an ex bf who cheated on her or something. Asking her for a flower design was an insult... I remained calm and polite. When she was asking me if I had a problem I could sense she was trying to pick a fight with me. I am the calm one here lady. Do you have a problem? You are going to war with my nails right now! And don't think it was an accident when she cut me lol oh no she was intentionally hurting me and didn't give a f***. This lady is good at hating her life and making you pay for it by getting your nails done by her. Attitude negative customer service negative. I knew I should have left when I found out there was no Jenny but I am confused most of the time because of the language barrier so I always give the benefit of the doubt. She said she couldn't do the exact design and it doesn't have to be! but please do your best and do a decent job without hurting someone. hopefully I can help you ladies out who are looking for quality nails and a comfortable relaxing time... read more

I had the pleasure of having Tina give me my pedicure today. She's AMAZING! Such a sweet lady who clearly loves what she does. I came in without an appointment, but luckily, they were able to take care of me right away. I was offered a bottle of water and some fresh cherries. They had an extensive collection of OPI and Essie polishes. Oh...and they offer each client their own nail tool set. You don't have to share! But even without the extras, I would come back. Tina spent time to make sure that my feet looked great. She gave a great foot massage and used hot stones. I was given a foot scrub, too. I told her it was my first time here and she offered me a free design. She did it all with a smile on her face. Come only if you have time for it...I spent about two (relaxing) hours here. This was the best pedicure experience I've had in a long time...and my first time having a pedicure this awesome in the bay area. Would definitely recommend! read more

All I can say is WOW! Wow at being given a bottle of water, some fresh cherries, and 5 star treatment right from the start! Super clean and new, tons of opi colors and awesome designs they can do to pretty up your nails. Talk about good hygiene! You're given your own set of tools that they'll use only on you and when you come back, it'll be there waiting for you! One of the best pedis I've experienced! My feet were worked on for atleast an hour! Loved the sugar scrub, massage and even the hot stones (nice touch!) Thanks Tina! I then moved onto a manicure with gel nails worked on by Mery and design done by Susan! I loved how they listened to the colors I wanted-black and hot pink cheetah spots with silver lining. Super cute!!! I can't stop looking at them. Can't wait to come back and enjoy it all over again. All the ladies were super sweet and helpful! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I'm sad because I used to come here a lot but today was really upsetting for me. All I wanted was black almond shaped nails with a silver accent nail. That's all. But I didn't really get that. My pedicure was great. I had no problems with it. But my acrylic set is horrendous. To make my nails skinnier she was filling the living hell out of them on the sides. To the point where I was pulling away and flinching. When I did this, she would just grab my hand again and continue digging in as she filed. After all of this my nails were different sizes and shapes, but I figured that would be fixed in the final filing stages. But no. That's when she slapped the color on. Maybe it's due to the fact that 5 walk-ins came in during my session, but I definitely feel like I was rushed. She finished up with my nails and the first thing she said to me was, "ok you can go now". Mind you, she said this as I'm checking out my nails. And it's at this point that I realize that my the sides of my nails aren't painted and the filing didn't match up to my natural nail shape. As nicely as I could, I pointed out my issues, saying that it make my nail look to tiny on my finger and I didn't like that the nail was showing on the side. I didn't even mention the fact that she filed it down to much and made my nail bed look weird. But to my surprise she didn't offer to fix or change anything. "It make your finger look skinnier" she told me. Didn't know I had fat fingers... But ok. I nicely told her that I didn't really like it and she said"that's how the shape is supposed to be. At this point I feel all of the eyes in the shop on me. Her workers and all the customers are looking at me. She repeats that this is how it's supposed to look and yells OK?! And I'm really bad with confrontation, especially when in front of a crowd. So I looked down at the ground and said ok. Almost like a child being scolded. And she walked off saying "Good". I sat and waited there for my nails to dry add she spoke to her workers in Vietnamese. And I'm sure she wasn't saying anything nice because they kept giggling and looking over at me. But when I would make eye contact with me they would smile. I felt so embarrassed. I walked out crying after begrudgingly handing over my payment. I will NEVER go here again. read more

Color Me Nail - See the damage to my skin from the over filing. And the sides aren't painted. It's just altogether ugly and its tender - Nail Salons Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Omigosh..... I really didnt think that this place would ever get ONE STAR but it went downhill so fast! Problems: 1. No longer using boxes 2. Rude employees 3. Upselling So sad to see somewhere start out amazing then go downhill :( In case anyone is wondering, Thu left the business and is down the street at Sassy Nail! See my review for her new place :) -C read more

The owner contacted me the next day and apologized for what happened. She is so friendly and wonderful! Apparently the person that gave me a manicure told the owner that she new how to do art and 3D art. The owner gave me a full refund and a coupon for a free manicure or pedicure (I have not used it yet). I will give this place a 2nd chance and update this review with the results. read more

As many others have said - the place has steadily gone downhill. My last 2 experiences with them were very mediocre, things were rushed, the technician - rough, and the end result only okay. They've never really been able to do any of the designs I've asked for, but at least before, how nice they were was a huge, huge plus. I was going to make an appointment a few weeks ago, called them up, they said they had time the next day, I said great, and then asked whether they could file and paint my 5 year old's nails, as I wanted to bring her in for a special treat. The woman on the other end of the line rudely replied 'No, we don't have time for that.' I was really astounded. Really? How long does it take to paint a 5 year old's nails? And filing takes even less time. I was making an appointment, after all.. You know why they denied my request? Because it'd cost too little money, and they'd sooner take a walk-in, than keep a regular customer satisfied. I took my business elsewhere. read more

I just had the best experience here! I came in around 1 today (Saturday) and it was pretty empty. I was the only customer and I was getting a regular predicure and gel manicure. The two ladies working on me were so meticulous and actually took their time with everything they did. I think the regular pedicure is so worth $20. It includes a deep sugar pumice scrub and a nice long hot stone massage! If you want the ladies to take extra time on you, then I suggest you come around 1-1:30 or whenever their slow hours are. I will definitely becoming back! read more
