    Always fire. Thanks for taking care of me like always. Love the turn out and the vibes are always lovely here.

    Chipped after one day
    Kyara C.

    Sadly my time going here has come to an end . Hasn't even been 1 day and my gel manicure has chipped.i walked out with a cut and im 8 months pregnant so if it were to get infected who knows what could happen . The vibe was kinda off and I felt very rushed instead of being able to relax and chill and enjoy the pedicure & manicure .

    From Sunday

    I want to start by saying I've come here many times before and have never had any issues, which is why this experience was surprising and disappointing. On Friday afternoon, March 6th, I paid $80 for a set of Gel X nails. Unfortunately, not even 24 hours later, three of them popped off. I went back to the salon and explained what happened, and they did fix those nails, which I appreciated. However, since then another three nails have popped off, and the salon is closed on Sundays so I haven't been able to go back in. At this point, six nails have come off in less than three days, which is really frustrating especially after paying $80 for the set. I've barely even had the chance to enjoy them. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so I'm hoping this was just a one-time issue. I would really appreciate the salon reaching out and making this right.

    I had gel x nails done on Saturday. Clean and friendly, but my gel polish on my gel x is peeling off literally the 2nd day and chipping on my other nail. Plan to go back and see if they will fix the nails. It is disappointing that my polished chipped. Update: I went back today and they repainted my index nail and my chipped middle finger nail.

    I've been going to color nails for years and they always are able to do exactly what I show them for nails, staff is always super nice, and they are always are super efficient in time which is great for me cause I hate being anywhere for too long. Also shout out to lily for doing this set for me today! She killed it!

    French tip $50

    I really wanted to make this salon my permanent nail spot because the work itself was really good. Chan did my nails and Mia did my toenails, such beautiful work. But I won't be returning due to a lack of trust and transparency at the front desk. They have a sign clearly posted at the front desk stating that customers receive a discount for paying in cash. However, when I paid in cash, I was still charged the full price anyway and was not handed a receipt.

    I've tried so many different nail salons but I always come back to color nails because the quality of the work done is AMAZING. It's shocking how many people can mess up a regular French but Tee did it exactlyyy how I like it. She's the cutest and so sweet. She even took pictures of my nails for me (: The guy at the front has been so kind in the decade + I've come here. Thank you Color nails!

    Used to get my nails done here when I went to SJSU and 10 years later they're still amazing! Julie did this cute chrome cateye set in less than an hour. Showed her my inspo pic and she was easily able to create this with her own style. Would definitely travel from SF again the next time I want to get cute design for a reasonable price :)

    They do such a wonderful job ! My new favorite spot !

    Wonderful place to get your nails done! They do such a good job ! Everyone is soo welcoming

    French tip on my natural nails.

    I come to Color Nails Salon every time I'm in San Jose. They are truly the best fast and great customer service every time. They never disappoint.

    I wish the pictures I took gave this set justice but everytime I get my nails done with an inspiration photo, my nails come out way better than the inspo. The nail techs never fail to make my nails look fabulous. I love coming here, they are so friendly, give quality work and are decently priced. I will be back for my next set

    I've gone to Color Nails in the past for a pedicure but this is the first time I requested a manicure as well since I normally go somewhere else. I went in with a picture I found and Pinterest and they did not disappoint! My nails came out gorgeous with the perfect almond shape. Walking in to Color Nails is always a treat. Everyone is warm and welcoming. The store itself is bright and is lacking the acetone smell you get at some salons which was refreshing. They offer drinks as well, though I didn't get one this time, last time I got a mimosa. Color Nails may be my new go to nail salon!

    Really wanted to like the salon because my coworker spoke so many good things about it. She said…read moreKelly was the best and naturally I requested Kelly to do my nails. When you first get here, it's located on the street so there is no designated parking for you car. You have to park on the street. The ladies are very welcoming and nice. What got me disappointed was I came with a broken nail and the rest of my nails only needed a fill. As Kelly was removing it, she used a nail acrylic and went around the edges of my broken nail and YANKED IT REALLY HARD. IT EVEN STARTED TO BLEED AND ALL SHE SAID WAS SORRY. That was my first warning. At that point I didnt want to get my nails done anymore but my graduation was in 2 days so I just brushed it off. Next, Kelly asked if I wanted to do a whole new set because she said it was better than a fill. THATS MY OTHER MISTAKE BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT A NEW SET. ONLY A FILL. She took my nails off anyway. The removal process for my other nails were ok. I chose to do dip powder for my dark blue nails. When Kelly was doing my nails, Im pretty sure she rushed because customers were coming in and wanting to get their nails done. On top of that, she dipped the brush with a lot of powder when usually its supposed to be a little at a time. My nails came out at an uneven color. In addition, usally dip powder nails are $35. Tell me why my nails came out to be $45? (I tipped $5 totalling $50). Did they charge me for the length or something because I was never told that but it was partly my fault too since I didn't ask. But where did the price come from? The cost for the shape? Well certainly the shape doesn't look like the skinny coffin I wanted. I truly believe Kelly didn't do her best on my set and just wanted to rush to do other clients. I would never come here again! Don't waste your time and PLEASE listen to the reviews. For some basic nails with no design, THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU CAN GET IT ELSEWHERE FOR $40 with t

    Being a little hesitant when it comes to new nail salons nowadays since ones I've gone to for a…read morewhile start going down hill. However, Eclipse Nail Bar exceeded my expectations and more. From booking a last minute same day appointment to the entire experience. Nothing but positive things to say all around! The person who answered the phone was very helpful and accommodating! He warmed me that it does get busy after work and was able to book me the appointment no problems! Upon arriving, I was able to check in and seated at exactly my appointment time. That was the first green flag for me as I know other places like to overbook and I have to end up waiting for an appointment which was suppose to cut down wait times. Additionally, I really liked how the front desk and the staff that was doing my nails did not push me to get gel where I know other places will really be pushy and try to get more money out of you. Vy was the lady that did my pedicure and i was really impressed with how thorough she was. She definitely did not rush and took her time where I felt so relaxed and not worry whether the nails were going to look bad. At the end, she was able to check in with me to see if I liked it and if needed to fix anything. I paid with card but i didn't have cash for tip but the guy that helped me in the front/on the phone, who actually turned out to be the owner share the tip to ask the workers for their venmo to tip them! Absolutely best service so far in San Jose I've been to! I will be returning!

    I had a very disappointing experience at Eclipse Nail Bar today…read more Before my appointment, I spoke with the front desk and explained that I have a bad toenail on my big toe and only needed acrylic applied because the nail had fallen off from a previous salon service. The employee looked at my toe, acknowledged the condition, and told me they would be able to assist me. I also specifically requested a little privacy and asked if I could be seated away from others because I was already feeling self-conscious. After waiting approximately 20 minutes, I was taken to a chair by a technician. She looked at my toe and began speaking with other staff members. At that point, I noticed multiple people looking in my direction. The same front desk employee then came over and, in a loud voice that others could hear, told me they would not be able to service me because of the condition of my nail and that I could return once the fungus was gone. I understand that salons have policies regarding certain nail conditions and have every right to refuse a service if they believe it is unsafe. My issue is not that they declined the service--it is how it was handled. I had already disclosed the condition upon arrival, and instead of addressing the situation privately and respectfully, I felt singled out, humiliated, and embarrassed in front of other customers. A little compassion and professionalism would have gone a long way. No customer should be made to feel ashamed for a medical condition.
