Updated from my last review: I've continued to be a loyal customer due to their wonderful services. I used to always pick chrome on light pink till today when Dee did cat eye on pink ombré for me. It's so gorgeous and this has got to be the most beautiful I've ever seen on my nails. I highly recommend Dee! She's such a kind, gentle and thoughtful artist read more

I got a pedicure, and my nails turned out beautiful. The staff was welcoming, the salon was clean and relaxing, and I felt well taken care of from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for quality service! read more

I LOVE this Salon!! I've been going here now for almost 6 years, and even though I live in Long Beach, I still drive to this salon. My nails always come out looking like a million bucks, and the girls are so friendly. I love going to Dee especially. The prices are very fair too compared to other salons. 10/10 recommend read more

Honestly would of rather pay a bit more and get better service. She rushed to do my nails. Pictures speak for themselves. They look worst in person. She didn't even bother cleaning under my nails and used a lot of glue and glued a good part of my skin to the nail. Thought I found a great place next to work but not coming back. read more

I went to Amy for dip. (Ive seen Helen 2 times before, never had an issue with Helen in fact she's really good.) Amy completely ruined my nails. They're lumpy uneven shapes and jagged on the sides. Not to mention the top clear coat isn't even. I'm so upset for waisting my time and money. If you dont know how to do a good job at dip nails, then don't try until you've trained yourself properly. read more

I originally was going to a different nail salon but they were to busy to take me as a walk in. I saw this place driving down the street and I decided to stop without researching the place. To my surprise this place was completely empty and I was on a rush to get a new set of acrylic nails. The nail technician Deedee was so fast and pretty skilled doing the "ombre look" which I loved and I was so satisfied with the result. However, within 2 days I noticed that some of the nail bed edges where coming off and by the end of the week at least 3 of my nails became at risk to get caught on something and completely rip off my nail. I ended up going to different nail salon where they promised they will fix it by filling them and fill them in. Needless to say, the acrylic nails pretty much came off by cutting a little with a nail clipper and lifting them up. There was no saving them! Nail technician said that "they use cheap powder". I wish I had taken a picture of the mess this end up to be but I rarely write reviews.. read more

Visiting from NYC, and we picked this place because it was a convenient 4 min walk from our Airbnb. I am glad we did! We went right when they opened at 9:30am as walk-ins, and everyone was really kind and welcoming. I got dip done, and my nail tech was fast and efficient. My nails have been holding up really well, and I'm so pleased with them. If I lived in the area, this would be my new go-to nail place! read more

Rushing and burning finger nails. That's how it was for me. She had to redo my nails because they were crooked. She claims my nails grew out crooked. Funny thing is I have acrylics on. Horrible experience read more

We ask the lady in the pic if she can turn off the light from the lamp because was right straight in my face and this lady on the picture just ignore us,looks really mad and start talking in Vietnamese When they saw me taking the picture they quickly turn off the light from the lamp.

I'd give this place 0/5 if possible. My toe became infected after getting a pedicure here. They refused to refund after infecting my toe. Beware! read more

God forbid you have a broken nail.... We originally came here 2 days ago to get dipped nails. My adult daughter is an avid dip nail customer. She started getting me to dip my nails too and we tried this place. First frustrating thing, they start you and leave you over and over to start any one new that walks in. You play ring around the chairs switching with customers as we all start polish removal and it's not comfortable. Because they keep starting sand stopping you end up here for hours. But you now feel obligated to stay because your nails have been filed offf of all the layered color and are now sitting in foil amd plastic gloves...Even though the amount of time spent here was frustrating ai still tipped 10 bucks on my 35 dollar dipped nails. 2 days later my adult daughters nail cracked. We went in to get it fixed. I waited in the car with my dog and could see how frustrated and rushed the lady seemed. Toward the end I that maybe she was having a bad day. So I went in and gave here 5 bucks for her time. Once my daughter got in the car she told me she wished I didn't tip her and that we are never going back. She showed me her nail. She has a bunch of dip powder lodged under her nail, she told me she used a fast gel nail polish to rush the process instead of doing the normal 3 layers. And worse of all she filed her nail down to remove the 3xisting, soooo much so that her nail is see thru. She did it that way instead of removing the dip/color with nail polish remover soaked in cotton and foil. I wish I could get my tip back. Never again read more

I have been a customer at Colorful Nails for about a couple of years now and not once have I encountered any bad experiences there. However, that all changed last week. I came in asking for just regular French gel nails. I was placed in a station where Thuan Bui was at and he was extremely careless at doing my nails. The filing part was horrific because it was uneven, he did a messy job at not cleaning up the white tips of my fingernails, and on top of that, my fingers got STUCK inside the machine. Apparently, no one cared to clean the inside and there were some sticky gunk that was left over. It felt like my fingers were superglued to the machine. He had to pour acetone inside he machine and I had to wiggle my finger off. How do you not clean your machine prior to all of this? This unacceptable and careless service in my opinion. Anyway, here's the end result of my nails. My best friend saw my nails and thought it was really bad. My coworker saw my nails as well and was disgusted at them. I was so upset and disappointed and will never return here ever again. read more

Colorful Nails - MESSY JOB. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Super clean, super friendly and the BEST deluxe pedicure massage I've ever had then in any high end day spa. This place is a GEM!

I've been here 6-7 times now this place is underrated. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. They're very cheap. Full set white tip (they have many color tips too) acrylics + polish for $20. Fill is $12. My polish has never chipped!! Pedicure for $15 came lotion and hot rock massage. read more

Go to EMILY! She has been doing my nails for a couple months now and I am always impressed with her work and her prices! I got a acrylic fill, and she had to cut them WAY down to reshape them from another place I was forced to go to for the set (5$) and with gel polish with a pedicure, also with gel polish and it was $40 all together! That could easily be 60-70 in other places! I am also incredibly picky and she never rolls her eyes when I ask to correct something. They are remodeling at the moment so it definitely is looking in better shape. Only giving four stars because they don't have as many colors as I would like for gel. They have a lot, but I've seen places with hundreds so don't expect that. read more

Colorful Nails - Emily fixed my acrylics from a different crappy place in no time! She's the best! - Nail Salons Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

just got back from getting my nails and they are such a perfect coffin shape and they are thin- not super thin where they break off (I'm rough around the edges I can tell when they will break)they look and feel amazing!! I was in and out even with all the Covid procedures in place, also they are so sanitary and clean. The spa pedis are $17. I paid $40 for Gel coffin nails, the prices are unbelievable. read more

After a year or so of remolding, Colorful nails is a stellar of a salon. From the pedicure massage chairs to the nail station this place is outstanding. Get ready to be pampered as once you enter the doors you are greeted by all. These ladies are class act & so are their work. Note that the owner kept the same prices after the remolding, class act. read more

Love this place, Helen Is my go to. Great service, prices, attention to detail and sweet team!

For the price this salon is solid for a pedicure and I was surprised that at $15 it included a decent massage with hot stones. Been here a few times and everyone's been consistently good. read more

Came in today to get my nails done and was told they could do them how I wanted just not exactly as the picture . I thought it would be as close to the picture possible but It looks nothing like it. I had told the nail tech while she was doing my nails that she wasn't doing ombré and she told me "I told you it wasn't going to be exact ". Don't get me wrong the nails are nice but it wasn't what I wanted. I didn't like the costumer service. read more

I used to go to Beach City weight loss center next door which is how I found this place. The entire staff is friendly and I've always been happy with their service. I love that they give a really good leg and foot massage with the pedicure and use hot stones at the end. Also pretty inexpensive read more

I've been to many salons in the OC and I can say without a doubt that ALL the employees are all very good! But, what I found here vs other salons is that they really care about giving their best services to you as their client. It is rare to have a salon where the employees are genuinely nice people. It is also very affordable! read more

I rarely get mani/pedis these days because I need my nails to be super short for work. But, I decided to spoil myself with my friend before work. This place is really small, nothing really pretty about it, and in a little center off Warner. But my pedi was AMAZING and cheap, only 14, and she even used a hot stone on my legs & feet :O Mani was ehhhh...nothing to brag about whatsoever...but it was only 10. Would I go back...maybe...just because of the pedi and how close it is to work...but I'd deff skip on the mani :/ read more

Colorful Nails - Beautiful job and did it very quick, I had my 4 wk old baby with me and it was done before he made a fuss.very nice people - Nail Salons Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

I had come here few times before and was very pleased with the way my gel manicure lasted and the pedicure was great. Although not the cleanest place, I overlooked all that. However, I walked in and the sign clearly says, WALK-INS WELCOME, and they asked me to come back tomorrow. If they close at 7pm they need to accept walk ins up until 7pm. Logic customer service!!! Side note: I walked on at 6:20pm. read more

I love getting my nails done here. The women are always so friendly when working with you, and it's a comfortable atmosphere. I love how my nails turn out, and even if I'm ever unhappy with something, they fix it right away! I tend to get full sets with gel and you can't beat the price. Some other salons charge more for the coffin shape, but the cost is the same no matter what shape you choose at this salon. It sometimes gets busy, but I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes to get my nails. I definitely recommend stopping by. read more

My sister-in-law introduced me to this place and I've been coming here ever since! The ladies here are nice and I like to talk to them while they're give me pedicures/manicures. They have a variety of nail polish colors to choose from (as most nail places should). The price here is very reasonable and they even give you a little massage before they start painting your nails! The part where they rub a hot rock over my legs is my favorite part! It's $15 for only a pedi or mani but $24 for both pedi and mani together :) Pretty sweet deal, I like to take my girlfriends here too. Everything is pretty much done in an hour if it's not too busy. They take their time on you, so check it out. Read a magazine and use the massage chairs while you pamper yourself away :) read more
