I came in with a very clear inspiration photo and explained that I wanted pink milky nails…read more Unfortunately, the final result (my nails after) was very disappointing. The nail tech seemed unsure about their own polish colors and struggled a lot with color matching. Instead of the soft milky pink look I requested, the nails ended up looking purple and gradient-like, which was not what I asked for at all. To make matters worse, after only 3 days (with no excessive or rough activity), my thumb and ring finger chipped. I went back for a repair, but then after the repair, the middle finger and pinky chipped, and shortly after that, the rest of the nails chipped as well. I paid $98 for nails alone, which is very expensive for this kind of outcome and durability.

This place just changed my life! Came in for a quick massage, powder manicure and pedicure. Where…read moreto begin... Massage: I suffer from chronic neck, shoulder and back pain caused from past sports and high stress from work that leave me with nausea, severe migraines and trouble focusing. I was seeing a masseuse and several different types of doctors trying to remedy some of my pain, most recently a neurologist. 30 minutes with Lola and my pain, nausea and focus have done a 360. After spending the last 2 years seeking specialists of different kinds I have finally found some relief. (The hot oil at the end is to die for) Thank you Lola! Pedicure: Pedicure was great, the chairs give a great massage as well and the product used felt amazing. Manicure: Goodbye to powder dip! My nails had literally one more dip left in them before my nails would be too thin to do much with them anymore. Luckily Lola put me onto a different type of manicure that would save my nails. (not sure what it is called) This was the best manicure I have had in my whole 12 years living in Queens/Jersey/Manhattan and in my life! Eyebrow wax: Say no more. Chocolate wax (Smelled tasty) and overall the best wax and shaping I have ever had. Overall: All the staff are professional and friendly and it's a nice calm/relaxing environment. All the product used is top notch. This will be my one and only place to go as long as I live in this neighborhood!!!! I would have almost not written a review to keep this a secret, but it's already out! Thanks Lola and team for making this my best spa experience ever :)

My only reason for 3 stars is that the woman doing my nails asked me to put a mask on. I'm not against it at all and I completely understand if certain businesses still want it. However, the woman getting her nails done next to me wasn't wearing one. She seemed like she was a regular. And when I moved to the back to get my pedicure, two women back there didn't have them on either. I'm all for complying with a company's policy. I would never argue it or cause a scene but if it applies to one it should apply to all whether the customer is a regular ot not.

I made appointment for my daughter and I to get our nails done for her communion. Her first nail salon experience! She wanted gel manicure pedicure, which is fine I knew I was going pay a little bit more than the regular child's manicure pedicure and I wanted to get gel X. The lady who did my nails was very cold as if she was doing me a favor to do my nails so that was a little disappointing. When I mentioned my daughter wanted A gel manicure and a gel pedicure, her girl was flabbergasted. The behavior was just a little embarrassing. It's OK for an eight-year-old to do a little gel manicure for the first time in her life for her communion. She kept yelling GEL? Gel?! She painted them fine even though they fell off two days later, but the bow design looked horrible. My daughter asked for a blue bow on one nail and I still got charged $10. I understand that nails cost money but for a shitty bow on one nail? they still charged me an adult gel manicure and adult pedicure on a kid so why not throw that in for free. Now I wanted a particular design because I knew the girl was talented enough to do it, but she, for the life of me could not understand what I wanted. Another customer had explained to her in Spanish and she still didn't want to understand. It felt like she didn't feel like doing it.. So then I said, Forget it let's just do a French with the blue bow so I can match my daughter. She starting to do a French with blue polkadots. I didn't feel like arguing, they look cute so I said whatever let's do it. Also I just wanted a light whiteish pink on my toes and apparently every light color they have is see through. I Felt like they were shoving a marshmallow color down my throat from my toes, so I agreed to it, but it was like a light gray. I did not like that at all. But again, whatever I just wanted to get it over with. Again, my pedicure was done nicely. The color sucked, but whatever. I really wish they were nicer because I did like the way my nails were done. I've been on a search for a good Nail Salon for so long. The nails were done so nicely, but the entire experience sucked. The lack of customer service, the lack of warmth and welcoming energy is what made me not tip them well and not want to come back. Which sucks because I loved the way my nails were prepped and done. Once I find someone talented, I usually go to them for a lifetime and I really want to come back, but I don't want to sit in a shitty environment.

I always get Tier 3 or special nail art done and I spend around $130-$150 on my sets. It's quality and I don't mind paying for what I get. I've had almost every nail tech in the salon. But my main girl is Amaya (who is now only at the HON studio). She always takes extra care and time on my nails to ensure everything is properly placed and is built to last. She has never done me wrong!!!! When I get my pedicures at the Rego Park location, my regular polish pedicures are done so well that they will last months... my gel pedicures last for a long time too. Overall, all the nail techs know what they're doing and they do it really well. Everyone is always so kind here and the vibes are always fun. If you go in the morning, it's more calm. For mamas like me, you're going to want that extra calm atmosphere in the morning so make sure you schedule your appointments then. But if you're also like me and you end up scheduling a night time appointment, that can be peaceful too. :)

I've been coming to Colorful Nails for years and have always appreciated the quality of their…read morepowder dip manicures. However, I've consistently had issues with appointments not being honored. Despite calling a week in advance and confirming my time, the last few visits have resulted in long waits or being told they don't have time for me at all -- without any apology or acknowledgment. Most recently, I booked an appointment for myself and a friend. We arrived on time and were told they couldn't take us. We offered to go have lunch and return in an hour, and they agreed. When we came back, they still didn't have time for us. It's frustrating, especially when it happens repeatedly and there's no effort to make it right. If appointments are not going to be honored, they simply shouldn't take them. Sadly, because of this consistent issue and lack of accountability, I won't be returning.

I ventured here when my usual place wasn't open that day and I'm very happy I did. Ended up getting the Green Tea Spa Pedicure (see photo for pedicure offerings and current pricing). Never had steam on my legs before during a pedicure and it felt like a unique extra touch that was enjoyable. Place is extremely clean and sanitary and I noticed people were trickling in and out while I was there. Most of the employees seem to speak enough English to communicate effectively (and of course some Spanish-speaking employees as well). My pedicure was done by Mia and I was so happy at the end, I tipped her $20 ontop of the price. They are extremely friendly, don't rush at all, and even a free shoulder rub while my toes were drying. They offer a stamp card for frequent visits so be sure to ask for one! Will definitely be back to check out their manicures.

I typically see Dolker for a regular manicure. Did you know they have nail happy hour where you can get $5 off any service between 2-4pm Tuesday to Thursday? If you have flexibility in your schedule this can be a great $$ saver. Their pedicures are super luxurious (albeit on the higher price end). They now allow you to make purchases online and use a credit card. Then, you can tip with Venmo.

I'm a guy and not sure how often they do more masculine-leaning designs, but they really nailed it and knocked it out of the park with this one. I brought inspo pics for a gel design, but there was a bit of miscommunication and the design wasn't coming out right. That said, before we even got there, my nails looked so good -- super clean, crisp, and perfectly shaped. Even without polish, I would've been happy leaving like that. They had another manicurist, Dolker, step in and she completely turned it around. She checked in with me on each nail and executed the design way better -- I left really happy. They also took $15 off, which I appreciated. The manicure itself lasted almost 4 weeks with no chipping and I kept getting compliments. One tip: bring cash for gratuity -- otherwise it's Venmo only, but there's a bodega right across the street if you need it. I'd definitely come back -- just booking with Dolker next time. The salon is really cute too.
