I stopped by for a gel pedicure with Holly (Hollie). She did a good job. I opted for a Volcanic Pedi. This pedi included all of the bells and whistles. In addition to the hot rocks and the wax treatment, I also received an additional 15 minute massage. This is just what I needed after returning home from a busy and physical vacation in Orlando, FL. Listen to a pedicure, I added gel and a design., I am thoroughly pleased with the work that was done. I got a gel Manny while I was in Orlando and Holly was able to match up my pedicure just right. I hate that I live all the way in northern Virginia, and can't get to Holly as frequently as I would like. But, if you're in the area, I would not hesitate to give Color Nails & Spa a try. The location has great parking, very clean, and tastefully designed. Happy Mani & Pedi read more

See all

I was never asked what shape before they filed to their liking, they cut nail beds to the point of uncomfortable bleeding, polish was clump and painted cuticles. read more

Color Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

RACIST RACIST RACIST to all my blk women or women of color in general please avoid this nail salon. The workers are extremely rude and only nice to their caucasian regulars. The Caucasian women getting serviced in the nail salon were also rude and giving me death stares the whole time. I went to get my nails done two days ago. First and foremost went I entered the nail salon it was empty and there was only one other customer getting serviced. When I tell you no one greeted me and one worker asked "what do you need" I told her I had wanted a full set and a pedicure. The same worker proceeded to asked me several times if I wanted Gel on my nails as I stated to her once before. She then directed me to pick out my color which was a basic white color. But let me get to the real tea for yall I walked out this place and paid $127 for some Bull$*** these women scammed me. First off I got the deluxe pedicure w/ gel which started at $45 but with gel I completely understood that the price may have varied. My pedicure service was supposed to come with partition wax and a foot scrub to remove dead skin off of my feet and none of that happened. I then proceeded to inform the employee at the time that I had wanted all parts of my service to be complete and her response was that I would have to order products such as a foot mask from amazon to get the dead skin off of my feet. Which she was supposed to do because it came with my service . After that she proceeded to do my pedicure but didn't offer me any flip flops to walk out of the nail salon with for my feet. These women were really careless she also cut too deep into my cuticles on both feet which resulted in two of my toes bleeding. Now let's get on my nails THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I will attach the inspo pictures below and show yall what the heck I got in return. I'm never and I meannn neverrrr coming back to this country bumpkin a555 nail salon. These women are not knowing what they are doing and they are extremely lucky that I don't look forward to taking any legal action as this was just my nails and toes but the experience was horrible and I would hate for anyone else to experience what I did. and then it would just make it so that read more

Last Monday, I popped in and got a gel manicure and pedicure by an older woman. Not even 7 days later and my manicure is peeling off and lifting. My cuticles were very choppy and peeling immediately afterwards which isn't the norm for me. Some of the nails were filed in a crooked manner. I also found the people working there to be pretty unfriendly. Maybe because I wasn't a regular, but they all spoke to one another the entire time and barely spoke to customers. All in all, I don't plan to return. read more

I am thankful for finding this place! The experience was amazing. I felt extremely relaxed and care for. Well worth the money I spent. Helen was very gentle and took her time. She did everything that I needed without me asking. She knew exactly how to take care of me. I will be back to see her. Please don't be quick to take someone's negative opinion. Sometimes you have to experience things for yourself. Thank you Helen! read more

My recent experience was very good. Nail tech - My, delivered a very delicate and thorough pedicure. Her personality is the best of them all. read more

They have always been nice if the quality has been hit or miss at times. I definitely have my go to people there

Convenient competent friendly. Nice place, but as with most nail salons, I wish the ventilation was stronger.

I went here today, on a whim. I am pleased. Joe, who I believe is the owner, did my nails. He was polite, gentle and efficient. Price was good. Will be back! read more

Color Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Been going to this salon since it opened and they are very professional and do great nails. As with any salon,It is very busy on Friday and Saturday so sometimes you have to wait. Call and make an appointment to avoid waiting. I have been to Navi, Rose and Ann. They also now have plastic guards in the pedicure foot spa. read more

One of the worst experiences I've had- all workers are Vietnamese and no matter where they are in the shop, they are talking to each other- practically yelling at times- it was so annoying and then they don't speak to clients....and then they don't let you wash hands before putting polish on, just use wet cloth - I now have white dust all around my cuticles that's now sealed in and visible- read more

I absolutely love love love this salon!! I had trouble once with scheduling an appointment but I would advise to try because sometimes wait is bad. I've tried other salons but here they really do each service amazing!! Prices are good and the music is calm and relaxing! Very clean and sanitary here and they helped fix up some fungus I got after attending a different nail salon who had very bad sanitation and did my SNS wrong. So I only trust this salon now!! Oh also, free candy!! read more

By far the worst, mani-pedi I've ever had. The technician nearly clipped my actual toes during the pedicure. I should have left then, but I stayed. Then to the manicure - it was messy, my nails weren't filed straight, polish on my fingertips, so many layers of polish on my nails -- the paint literally came off of my nail and got on my steering wheel. Had to go straight to another salon to redo everything. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!! read more

AwwThis place dies the best mani and pedi. They are very prodfesional friendly and customer oriented. Best place in nierh Raleigh by far

This is still by far the best nail place I've found for a pedicure. I would give it a 4 but the last time I went she trimmed one toe too much and made sore. It all depends who you get. I still will return but will definitely be telling them to not touch that toe! read more

I went there today to get a fill in. I had a full set done the end or March and the color never chipped. it grew out, but the color stayed beautiful. I went today and had to wait a little bit, but it was well worth it.. read more

Just relocated from California and figured i would try the most convenient/closest location to my new house. Kind of hesitant at first due to prior reviews, but unlike some other reviewers i had a great experience & a great manicure. Definitely will be my go to spot! And they are right next to harris teeter, so convenient for shopping before/after. Even gave me a new comer price discount $13.00 for manicure..i'll take it! read more

I went in there for a manicure and pedicure. I was a little nervous because of the mixed reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Michelle was my nail tech and did a wonderful job. She was professional, thorough and friendly. I will definitely go back again and I will ask for her by name. read more

Do NOT enter. They do not use sanitary liners in their bowls so I pray I do not contract an infection. That should of been my sign but I stayed. Poor quality work, skin around fingers scratched up from rough buffing and drilling. My nails on my big toes were cut to the skin and then other toes cut and shaped uneven. I asked for more attention to the polish which was milky and finally gave up. I did not receive my snack or beverage and was told I could not take it to go even though they never offered as advertised. I did not notice it until I was paying. I quickly scratched out my tip and do not plan to return. On a Friday night, there were a total of 3 people in the shop. Not a good sign. Most salons are packed. read more

After a terrible experience at a nearby nail salon, I came here and was very pleasantly surprised! The staff was friendly, efficient and did an amazing job on my acrylic nails! I will definitely be returning! read more

I stopped in after work today to get my nails done. When I walked in the guy asked me what I wanted and I told him. Well , apparently he misunderstood me and placed me with a sweet young lady. When she went to polish my nails I told her I wanted acrylic and she looked puzzled. She spoke to the same man and he asked me (with a harsh tone) what I wanted. At this point I was confused to why they were confused and said " either gel or acrylic" it doesn't matter. Well he just threw some sort of a fit, hissing and slamming things while saying something. I was so embarrassed and they wanted me to sit in his chair after him acting so foolish and embarrassing me. I asked to be charged for the services the young girl performed and they wouldn't hear of it so after standing at the register and no one helping me I walked to the young lady and handed her a 20 and told her Happy New Year. I can not believe the way I was treated. My brother was recently murdered (dying in my arms) and I was doing something special for myself. This man should be ashamed. You never know what people are going through and how such hatefulness can impact a person. I hope his temper tantrum made him feel like a man. I was all to pieces after leaving this place. read more

This is by far the worst nail salon I have ever been to. The service is awful and everyone I talked to was very rude. During my manicure, the man doing my nails completely ripped off one of my cuticles. It hurt so bad and started to bleed profusely. The man doing my nails failed to give me any apology and kept on doing my nails as if nothing had happened. Blood was dripping onto the towel as he continued to not pay attention to my finger. He then proceeded to roughly wipe off the blood and spray ALCOHOL onto my finger. As you can imagine, this did not help. I was in pain the rest of my time there and my finger continued to bleed. I never received any form of an apology. The only remark I got was, "You shouldn't pick your cuticles". Another upsetting occurrence was the disrespect shown to my friend during her pedicure. The man doing her toes was very rude and unpleasant. Along with many rude comments during the pedicure, the event at the end really pushed her and I over the top. He was putting her shoes back on after her toes had been painted and my friend accidentally moved her toe a little bit. In response, the man abruptly pushed his chair back and gave her a disgusted stare. I was appalled by this. I will never return to this salon again. I had an awful time and will never recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've been to this place a few different times for pedicures and gel nails. Ever since the first visit I wasn't sold on the place, but would go back because it was convenient for me. The last time I went and will ever go again I got a pedicure. I always get gel polish on my toes. First, I had to wait almost 45 minutes to even get seated with 5 customers in the place. Then, one of the younger women started to take my gel polish off by peeling it. I have received several gel manicures and pedicures in the past few years and know that this was in correct and damages to nail. For some reason I didn't say anything at all and that is my fault. One thing I didn't understand is that she kept doing it after she almost ripped my toe nail completely off and I jumped because it hurt. All she said was "oh, that hurt?" And tried to rip the gel polish from the other side. So I just kept my mouth shut so she could finish as soon as possible and I could leave. Then without saying anything she gets super glue and glues my nail back on and paints over it. I was so upset. I paid and left without a word. Now I have no toe nail (since the super glue and gel Polish did not keep it on) and a horrible dislike for that place. read more

I am new to the area and this salon was conveniently located to me so I thought I would give it a try. I have never taken the time to write a review but I felt so uncomfortable here that I felt I needed to. When I arrived mid afternoon, there were no other customers in the shop. One employee was making phone calls trying to pay her bills. Another employee asked me what I needed. I wanted a spa pedicure and fake nails I had on from my daughters wedding removed. She seemed less than interested and passed me off to a gentleman for the pedicure. The water was kind of cool but no one asked how it was. I am not one to speak up so I just went with it. I have had numerous awesome spa pedicures in the past and I am not sure this was not just a pedicure.....nothing at all special or worth paying extra for. When it came time to remove the fake fingernails.....the initial lady reluctantly came and looked at them and attempted to crack a few off. She seemed totally put out and passed me off to a different gentleman who was very patient and good. He was my favorite. The whole time they only spoke their language back and forth and did not seem in any way happy to have a customer. It was an awkward, uncomfortable and relatively unprofessional experience overall to bother coming back. There is a nail shop on about every corner anymore. My friend has since highly recommended a few others down the road in Wake Forest. So much for convenience. read more

The young lady that did my gel polish French manicure was very friendly. My nails looked great when I left that day. However, they barely lasted a week before starting to peel and lift of the nail near the cuticle. For $30 plus tip, I expect them to last longer than a week. I've had better luck at other salons. However, it does depend upon the skill of the manicurist. I most likely won't return, unless I am in a pinch and walk in. read more

Great experience at Color Nails! It was beautiful and relaxing and all the staff were very professional, friendly, nice and helpful. They take time and make sure they do the best job possible. I'll definitely return for another visit. read more

I hate this place as of today.. the short guy that works in there don't have him do your nails... I asked him to do my nails a certain way he looked at me and told me he couldn't do that because that design would be ugly. So I told him just do my ring finger white, and he just ignored what I said. Then he switched out my nail polish to some ugly shade of teal... I'm done going here for sure! read more

Had a Pedi & I specified 2 regular manis for my teen daughters for my birthday. I will start out by saying everyone was very nice. The young girl that did my pedi was so sweet, took her time and did an amazing job. We did wait a few minutes but we were walk ins so that was expected. However when I went to pay they charged us for GEL manis (double the price) for my daughters. I NEVER requested that & neither did my girls. I insisted that we never asked for gels. The main guy/owner/manager proceeded to tell me that it's a specific polish on the wall. Of course the ones my girls chose. There are NO signs that let you know they are GEL. Nothing that differentiates GEL from regular manis. They made no effort to make things right. They told me that next time make an appointment and specify. They also told me that's what I get when I walk in!?!? Really?!? I told them the next time there is an up charge to verify with the person paying. I will never go back based on this poor business practice. I felt duped. It sucks because they really did a nice job. But they lost a customer so I will never return or recommend them to anyone read more
