    From Sunday
    Christina A.

    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.

    Fast, in and out service and good work! If you want to fill relaxed and pampered, this might not be for you. If you have a busy schedule and need to squeeze a quick fill, this is it.

    My friend and I walked in Monday around 2pm and were seated right away. The place was very busy and looked like a sweatshop. My pedicure lady was really good. But my manicure and 3D design ladies weren't really good. My gel manicure had streaks, bubbles, and was uneven. My manicure just looked messy. My friend told her pedicure lady and that lady told my manicure lady to come fix for me. She had to sand down the top and add clear gel to fix. Then the design lady couldn't get the bow looking correctly. The bow inspiration I showed her was like round and circular. She kept making heart shapes. She put very small gem for the bows but I wanted the big ones like the inspiration. She said it doesn't look good when it's big...but I don't care, I want it big! Then I noticed the bows were facing the same way ugh didn't notice until I left. Also, when my pedicure lady brought me my sandals to put on when my pedicure was done, it was all black at the top. I thought I had step in dirt or something, but I didn't. It was my manicure lady who stepped on my sandals.

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

    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!

    I LOVE COLOR NAILS! Service is so fast. I had two pedi and one stellar nail set. They have a free karaoke show which totally set the vibe! I love love love color nails

    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    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 live in Berryessa. Color nails has always been my go to spot. The gentleman in the front did an amazing job on my almond shape and was very gentle. I think his name is Dong? Anyways... 10/10 recommend this salon. I'm always in and out in a timely manner. pleased with my nails. -Star

    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

    I went to Eclipse Nail Bar a week ago to get my nails done for a wedding over the weekend. My…read moretechnician was Tiffany. I was so happy with the service and the result. I came in with a couple photos of how I wanted my nails to be done and a piece of fabric of the dress that I was going wear for the wedding. Tiffany patiently went over the photos and discussed the pros and cons to help me pick one. Then she picked the color that matched my dress the most. We decided to go with builder gel nails. Tiffany was professional, patient, and detail-attentive. She spent time drawing every single small flowers for me and fixed what I did not like. The results turned out to be amazing. It was elegant and cute at the same time. And the quality of the nails are beyond expectations. I am not the gentle type, and I have to do house chores. But none of the nails has broken so far. Not even a scratch. The surface is still glossy. I have a pit bull puppy who keeps on munching on my fingers, but the nails didn't have a scratch (of course I didn't purposely let the dog chew on it for a long time). The cost isn't low, of course. But with the dedication, the customer service, and the results, it's all worth it. I highly recommend this place

My 2-year-old was crying, and instead of showing any understanding, compassion, or professionalism, he told us to leave the salon. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then threatened that if we didn't leave immediately, he would also make my mom leave -- while she was in the middle of getting her nails done and paying for a service. The way he spoke to us was beyond disrespectful and completely unacceptable. No customer should ever be treated with that level of hostility, especially over a toddler crying. Life happens, kids cry, and the way he chose to handle it was cruel, embarrassing, and incredibly unprofessional. If this is how the owner treats paying customers and families, that says everything you need to know about this business. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There are plenty of salons that know how to treat people with basic human decency and respect. This is not one of them.
