I thought I'd give this salon a try, and I'm happy I did. I felt it was clean, they enforced masks, and asked that you wash/sanitize your hands upon entry. My nails came out nice and I truly enjoyed the experience. I came late afternoon and had no wait time. Tina was very detailed and did an amazing job. I'll be back for her calf and foot massage alone :) read more

Amazing service from Ayla! Very fast and did exactly what I asked for! Great attention to detail as well :) read more

The ladies there were super sweet. For an acrylic gel set and pedicure came out to $70. Quite a small and busy place too! They were so busy they were turning people away and telling them to come back in an hour or 30 minutes. I was able to walk in right away. They did they 10 minutes but my mom and I just walked next door to get some Starbucks real quick. My acrylics are a little thick under the nails and they do look thick on top too, but hey it still looks beautiful. This is just after one day too btw. read more

Please BEWARE of this salon. After having acrylic nails applied at the Palomar Airport Rd salon, I ended up with major infections in 3 of the nails on my fingers. It was so painful with blood and pus coming from the sides, that i had to go to the doctor for antibiotics. They confirmed it was a bacterial infection from the nail service. Worst of all, I went to the salon to bring it to their attention and ask for a refund on that service and the male manager, who not only pretended to be talking to the salon owner (who never reached out to me), did not apologize, tried to blame it on me, said he didn't offer refunds, he would not take off the nails and to never come back to the salon again. Well, that's not a problem! The money has not been returned to my bank account. I pointed out the lady who performed the service (short hair, doesn't speak English and talks non-stop in her language to all the other ladies working there, while she is doing nails!)...I said she could keep her tip anyway, even though something was not sterilized, obviously. I have taken photos and filed a complaint. All I wanted was an apology, some sense of taking responsibility and the money for the service rendered, returned. None of that was done. How ironic, the 3 nails infected were my right-hand pointer finger (which is still healing), and the 2 middle fingernails of each hand. Not only would I give this salon a zero rating for their customer service and un-clean instruments, but I also give them the 2 infected middle fingers straight up and directed their way. ********In response to the Go Bali employee below, whom I do not even know nor spoke with......Madam, YOU are lying. I am a professional Business Property Manager in Carlsbad, and a 66-year-old grandmother of 6. I do not walk into any business establishment yelling or disturbing others. Also, I have the bank statement to prove payment to Go Bali, Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, on June 13th, 2024, having an appointment under the name Judi P. at noon. And this is exactly what I expect, as proves how poorly I was treated at your salon when I came in to address this matter. Your manager, Albert, was rude and disrespectful and tried to make light of my situation and tried to blame everything on me, before telling me to never return. He kept me waiting for 20 minutes while supposedly on the phone with the owner and then returned with no resolve and just a desire to be rid of me. I don't want to take this issue further, but I will, if I keep being slandered in writing, by a business that refuses to accept responsibility for an infection they have caused. At the very least, they could have apologized for my two weeks of pain. read more

I called last minute for an appointment and they accommodated me! Once i arrived, Ayla helped me choose my design and colors. She is seriously the most talented, gentle, and professional nail artist. The drive here is so worth it for me because I can trust no matter what design Ayla does, I'll absolutely love :) She puts so much thought and care into every set of nails and her work surely does speak for itself. Fancy or simple, she will make it look CLEAN! I love that she has so much experience and can help me choose what looks best for my nails. If it's not perfect or to my liking, she has gone out of her way to fix it for me. Shes so sweet ! I love this place and cant recommend it enough :) I have gotten the most compliments on my nails when Ayla did them for me!! read more

I have been coming to color nails since before the pandemic and still continue to now that they're re opened. Amanda always takes the best care of me and is great at shaping! i have done many different nail shapes and colors and they always look amazing. Ask for Amanda! read more

I came in with my mom for a early Mother's Day gift. They were super sweet, happy to help and answered all my questions. The ladies took their time and did an amazing work! Gave us complimentary drinks;) which was amazing. read more

Manicure was fine but came here expecting Color Nails which it still showed on Maps and has been there for a very long time. When I called to make an appt they did not say they were under new ownership nor that the price went up 30%!! Had I known that I wouldn't have come. Too expensive for the same gel manicure. Very disappointed. Edited in reply. I understand what you are saying but the kind and ethical thing to do is when a customer calls or walks in you could say we are under new ownership and our prices have changed so the customer gets to decide if they want to pay the increase before the service is done. read more

This was my first time going there and I was disappointed with my gel manicure yellowing by day 2. It was not from smoke or heat, so I assume it was old/cheap polish. It's day 3 and it looks so bad I'm taking them off. Also, they told me it would be $27 when I walked in and said it was $30 when it came time to pay. I didn't bother bringing it up, but it's more annoying now considering the bad manicure. read more

My friend and I came in for acrylics and I was very disappointed. I had to ask to change the shape of my square nails 4 times so they would look even. Never applied cuticle oil. I left the salon with so much stuff under my nails and my nails were still uneven. Paid 52$ for this. read more

First time visit for gel manicure. It was the most perfect, detailed service I've ever received (by Linda). The place was slow so I'm sure they had time to be this precise and give me so much attention but still, would highly recommend and will visit again in near future read more

Walked in and they were so sweet and attentive! She gave a great suggestion of a color when it turned out I picked one I didn't like, and she did a beautiful job, making sure I liked it throughout the process which I really appreciate because I have a hard time pointing out when there's something I'd like to change! Will definitely be going there from now on read more

This is the best place in Carlsbad for nails. They are nice and really create an amazing customer experience. They went above and beyond to make sure our family of 5 could all get our pedi/mani at the same time. Also, the free drinks were such a nice touch. My nails looked great and it was such an enjoyable, welcoming experience for us. read more

The ONLY place I go for a solid mani/pedi. Clean space, friendly staff. Many "regulars" there like me who've been going for years... which speaks volumes. One longtime patron I chatted with today had moved away last year, yet still drives 40 mins to the salon for her routine mani/pedi. I would do the same; when you find a really good nail (or hair) place, you are loyal! Kim, Terri, Tina, & Amanda are my fave techs but the newer techs are great too. Gel mani lasts a solid 2+ wks and I can easy go 3wks between visits before the nail growth space bugs me haha. Pedicures last up to 6wks. Check out Color Nails by Costco, IYKYK. read more

Great place very friendly and accommodating staff. Would go again. Lots of colors and choices for nails.

I have been coming here for years and today, I walked away very disappointed. I had phoned and made an appointment and when I arrived, I was told the service couldn't be performed because they took others. If I wanted, I could come back later. What was the appointment of making an appointment? I have been a customer for years and I've waited after making an appointment but have never been turned away completely. Very disappointed, especially after knowing the staff for years. The least they could have done was call me and tell me they couldn't take me. read more

Amanda is my favorite she is so detailed and her shaping skills are on point! She's gentle, fast and consistently does an amazing job! I'm never disappointed. Thank you for fixing my nails! My previous visit had been for a set of acrylic nails, almond shape, nude, pretty simple, for the opening week of my new hotel job (big deal to me). I had a fairly short wait time but sat in the chair for over an hour, had to pick off so much hardened acrylic off my fingers and just left like there was a lack of consistency with the shapes, none of them matched. As I was paying I could already tell I would be unhappy with the set which is the most frustrating feeling. Not to throw shade but her name is Lynn. Very sweet lady but not the artist for me. Not everyone has 2 hours to sit at the spa for 1 service and surely nobody wants to pay full price for a bad nail set. When people see Instagram photos of pretty, perfectly shaped nails and show you a photo, please let them know if you're capable of providing it or not. That time, mine didn't turn out like the photo. read more

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. Scheduled an appointment for myself and a friend for a manicure and arrived a few minutes early. I let them know we were there for our appointment, and we were stuck waiting 30 minutes!! I had to ask twice if we should go somewhere else, I was on a tight schedule and that's why I made an appointment. The woman was SO rude and told me she had customers She needed to finish first and we could just wait 5 more minutes. No apology or attempt to provide decent customer service. These women need a serious attitude adjustment. I will never be back. read more

Definitely worth trying. New vibe, customer service seems to matter, clients seems happy. The sparkling wine was a nice touch, gave the experience a spa like vibe. read more

I have always had the best experience here. Anyone I've gone to for my nails has been so kind and talented. I normally see Amanda or Linh. They take their time to make it right. They done fun designs and any shape I want. Prices are reasonable too! Don't forget to tip! read more

left this nail salon soaked in sparkling water because the nail tech knocked my drink all over my pants. i was late to my meeting after because i had to rush home to try to dry my pants as quickly as possible and i had to redo my makeup because i was crying. the fact that i was still charged full priced for the service and all the workers made it seem like it was no big deal laughing and smiling. i work in costumer service and if this happened at my place of work i would of offered a discount for the inconvenience. my pants were SOAKED. i was late to my next appointment. the gaslighting from the workers about it not being a big deal was ridiculous. i will not be coming back. not to mention every time i come i get a different price for the same thing. i was only coming here because it was close to where i live but i will be going elsewhere from now on. read more

Just visiting the area. My daughter and I were in need of pampering and gel mani/pedis. We were impressed with the selection of summer colors, they even had the Barbie collection. The technicians were friendly, worked fast and kept checking to make sure we liked what they were doing. A bonus was giving us a menus and being asked if we wanted a complimentary drink. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be our go to spot. read more

Let me start by saying, GoBahli has only been in business at this location since mid April-so the older reviews don't apply. Their prices (totally fair) are visible in their menu, and each employee is happy to discuss and answer any questions you have-. Their products are new, all colors imaginable, and all hot & new techniques are done. They have a complimentary beverage station as well. Every person in the store is friendly and efficient in their craft. Quality, care, and attention to detail. Ayla always does my acrylics and she couldn't be any better at it! Very grateful for this salon and all who work here! read more

Love Amanda! She manages it. Super nice and friendly. Accommodates every customer I see thru that door. ALL the nail specialists are amazing! You can't go wrong with any of them. I highly recommend them. read more

STAY AWAY!!! I went in for a nail repair and left worse than when I arrived. The technician literally filed my nail off Terrible customer service! Terrible work. You have been warned don't do it! I never leave reviews but this is just unacceptable. Find another place to go. read more

Do not bother giving these people your business. We made an appointment last night for three people at 9:00 am this morning. We walked in and they already had people in the chairs and said- so sorry it'll be about 20 minutes. It was not 20 minutes and we left! read more

I don't think I'll ever come back here. My first time here, I had a 5 star experience with Sophia. She gave a great massage with my pedicure and was very gentle when cutting my nails. Rewind to last night. I called at around 6:30pm knowing that they close at 7 (I live 5-7 minutes away) to see if they had room/time for one more pedicure. They said yes come on in, it would be fine. Now, if you can't take me just say so, I know I was cutting it close and respect that you want to go home too....this is why I called first. I sat in the chair and noticed immediately the person doing my pedicure was not too thrilled she's been told to take me. She cut my nails way too short and I felt her rip the nail out of my toe (see picture). After a while I looked down and noticed she made my feet look like I let a 5 year old cut my toes. I was never asked what type of pedicure I wanted off the "menu" and had to ask her for the callas remover. I've posted a picture of what my toes look like. They hurt just walking and am so disappointed with this. read more

This salon is by far the BEST nail salon I have ever been to. The employees are incredibly nice and respectful! An absolute 10/10 experience. I get my nails done by Ayla here and my nails have never looked better! She is amazing!! I will not go anywhere but here! read more

I've come here 3 times for a gel mani pedi. I feel like your experience can vary depending on the person you get. My visit where I got Kim, she did an amazing job and my gel mani & pedi lasted for over a month. This past visit wasn't so great. I got my gel soaked off and everything was fine up till the point of my cuticles being cut. The person working on my nails cut too far and two of my fingers' cuticles started bleeding profusely. She poured alcohol on my cuticle and try to stop the bleeding with cotton, but nothing was working. It just kept bleeding and was uncomfortable to the point where I opted out of my manicure. The manager told me I didn't have to pay for the gel removal. I like the work Kim does, so I'll come back to Color Nails for Kim but I don't think I will ask for anyone else. read more

This new salon in Carlsbad is up and running. I am impressed with what they have done to this little space. Right when you walk in you notice that the main wall has a wall sculpted with columns and an interesting curvy ceiling design. Murals and colored lights create a n interesting scene, it feels much nicer than a chop shop. In addition to the traditional manicures and pedicures, they also offer waxing services with reasonable prices. read more

Used Yelp to find a nail salon in the Carlsbad area as my GFs and I were staying in town and wanted a little color added to our lives. :) This seemed like a good choice and could take all 4 of us at the same time. I venture to say that we were all very happy with the outcome. The salon is clean, if a little cramped and crowded but that was good since we all wanted to chat amongst ourselves anyway. They have a good color selection and use good quality polish. The manicurists are quiet and attentive and they do a very good job, not rushed at all and paying nice attention to your needs. I personally got a normal little manicure and added the parrafin which was great and made my hands sooo soft! Loved it. Now if only the chick talking on speaker while she got her gels done would have shut the heck up, it would have been a perfect appointment. read more

First time here and loved this place. Pedicure was so relaxing and she took her time with my foot massage.

This place has finally put the nail in the coffin for me. Went there this morning with my son who was excited to be getting a pedicure. They took us to our chairs, sat us down, started running water and as we were getting situated another worker sitting nearby asked if we had an appointment. I did not have an appointment but this question should have been asked when we first walked in not after we were seated. There were at least 4-5 available chairs and the salon was not remotely at capacity. When I said we did not have an appointment, the worker told us to get up and come back later. Tacky. Had this been a one off I wouldn't be writing a review but sadly this is one of many instances where this salon has been either unprofessional or the service has been sub-par. Between uneven eyebrow waxes, lackluster manicures, accidentally (and painfully) cutting the skin around my toes instead of the toes themselves, etc....this place is really really bad. Do not recommend. Many better places in the area where you are treated like a customer rather than a bum off the street. read more

I was in the area and needed a quick manicure. Yelp to the rescue! This was close to where I was at - starbucks in the same center - a plus!! Clean, efficient and nice service. I love when I can just zone out getting a manicure and not drilled with stupid questions to make small talk. I would definitely go here again read more
