I've been going to this nail salon a few times now since I moved to this neighborhood recently. I like their services. Tina & Minh are awesome! They do a very thorough job. Love their massage chair while doing pedicure. And they're pretty friendly. I recommend this business anytime! Keep it up. Great job! read more

Rainbow Nail Studio - I'm travelling to a sunny destination and chose these lovely vibrant shimmer. - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

See all

Mihn always does a fantastic job. I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed Christie

In the past, my mother, sister and I have had great experiences at this salon. Today all of those experiences were completely tainted when one of the ladies who worked there was completely rude and out of line. So a different lady was doing my manicure when she clipped off about 2 mm of my cuticle accidentally when trying to take off a hang nail. First of all- I understand things like this happen and was NOT upset at the girl for the cut. She put some antiseptic on and then I held pressure for about 10 min. The bleeding continued after that and a different girl, doing my pedicure, told me she wants to put some more antiseptic on because it would "stop the bleeding". As my finger was already disinfected and had already been doused in antiseptic I declined to have any more put on and nicely said I would prefer to continue holding pressure, if they didn't mind starting on the other hand first. As I continued to wait for it to stop bleeding, this lady continued to say she wants to put more antiseptic. I explained again that I did not want any more and she continued and continued to harp on it. Then she said, well if it's bleeding I'm going to put some more on okay? Basically telling me I had no choice. First of all, as the customer it is my choice. Secondly, if the antiseptic did have some magical clotting properties as she suggested it would have stopped the bleeding the first time they doused it in it. My point is, I WASNT blaming the girl who cut my cuticle or threatening to walk out when she cut it or ANY of that- I said it's ok and totally recognized that it was a mistake. My problem was with this other girl who got involved and somehow thought she had some authority to rudely force me to do something. To top it all off, when I once again explained that I'm not interested and asked for her to stop, she would NOT let it go and rudely called me "missy" which was the cherry on top to make me angry enough to call her out on it all and walk out. My mom who was silent the whole time and is a really diplomatic person was FURIOUS at this point with that "missy" comment. At that point, after 20 min of what was supposed to be a relaxing experience, she still would not stop LECTURING me and cutting me and my mother off when we tried to explain. She wouldn't let us finish a sentence so I was shaking and mad enough to drop an f word because I'm only human (and apologized for). she then had the nerve to call ME disrespectful when she was condescending and rude for the past 20 min. Now I know many of you have had nothing but good experiences here, however that's how we felt too until we walked in today. This daughter who spoke to us like this today completely snapped and was out of line, her sister, mother and father were much more professional. There are many other nail places in the area with way better customer service where you will not have to worry about being talked to in a condescending way. read more

Mum , myself and little girl went there today. They were kind and accommodating to little one. Patient with mum and me. I really appreciated the good clean they gave our feet. Rarely do estheticians actually clean your feet and these guys did a great job. read more

I keep coming back like this place is an addiction. Minh is my favorite but her whole family is awesome. My first experience here was rocky, but after that everything has been perfect and I couldn't dream of going to another place. They get busy, so make an appointment! read more

Love this cute little nail studio! It's family owned and operated - at anytime you can meet Mom, Dad and the two daughters working there. Great service and friendly atmosphere. They can get really busy so best to call ahead and book an appointment though they try to take walk-ins where they are able. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Never again. I went in for a quick filing and polish of my acrylics. I was told to pick a colour. I was not offered gel. I assumed the colour was a gel, but instead ended up with old style polish. Would not have been bad except the tech did not care at all and just wanted to get me out of there asap. He just put 3 coats one top of each other without waiting between coats. I didn't touch a thing for over an hour and still they weren't dry. Ruined. Complete waste of time. Oh and the implements used did not appear clean. The supposed 'dryer' he put my hands under for the 10 minutes I was allowed to stay, was so filthy it was humiliating. Besides that, no heat or fan in it but a weak light. When I told him it wasn't working he shrugged me off. These people don't give a damn. At all. read more

Just went for a shellac manicure here - was the fastest shellac manicure I have ever had (20 mins, didn't even know that was possible, although my nails were bare to start) The girl who did my nails was very friendly and greeted every other customer who walked in the door by name and with enthusiasm. I did feel slightly rushed through the service, but as someone who doesn't like to spend a lot of time at the salon, that was a plus for me. The hand massage was also amazing. Overall - great place for a quick and dirty manicure if you're in a rush. Price was average - 35 bucks plus tip read more

I love this place! I had Tina as my nail expert and she's so nice :) I had a bad burn on one of my fingers and she totally worked her way around it. She was so careful with my hands and feet. The staff is so friendly and nice. I swear I can't say enough good things about this nail salon :) Parking is free and the place is clean. However it's very popular so book your appt early. I'm so glad I found this place since I'm new to the neighbourhood. read more

26/100 I do not live in Brentwood, but I had some time before dinner one day so I popped in for a polish change. The ladies were so friendly. My nails looked great and I would definitely pop in again if I was in the area. Thanks, Tina! read more

I have been going here for more than 10 years, I love that the owners/staff are all super friendly and always remember everyone's name. I have tried many other places over the years but always go back here! read more

I love this place! I have been going here since moving to the area and they never disappoint. They carry quality nail polish so your polish will last. They are very efficient and friendly and prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this nail salon. read more

Best manicure/pedicure in Burnaby! Family run business and they know what they are doing! Really like to two sisters who are fun and friendly. I love the shellac manicure because they have the best colours and it lasts longer than two weeks without chipping! I strongly recommend going here!! read more

Great service. Quick and Affordable. Father, daughter, mother and son - the welcoming Vietnamese family that's been running Rainbow for 11 years has a sea full of regulars. They know what they're doing, and they're good at it. If you're looking for a quick nail fill, pedicure or mani, this is a great quick in-and-out place to go. With 25 years experience, the owner took off my gels, polished my nails and put a top coat on in 14 minutes. Cost was $21. Quick, easy, affordable. read more

G My girlfriend convinced me to come with her to get my first ever pedicure here and I've been back 1/2 dozen times since. Really friendly family run business, as a guy I felt very welcome and not out of place at all. Very nice atmosphere. read more

Disappointed. They were able to book me for the next day, but I wasn't impressed when I got there. The photo (on here) showing their price list is misleading - I was in for a new set of gels & asked about fibreglass. I got a flat-out 'No'. Whatever, I went ahead with them cause it was time for some nails. Once Andy applied the tips I pointed out that they were angled up/away from my nailbeds, which he just kinda shrugged off. I knew I should have walked out there, but I stayed, paid and even tipped on the not-worth-$63 service. They're ugly - I've got laughable chiclets on the ends of my fingers. Maybe they've got a better technician working there, but I won't be back to find out. read more

Super happy with my nails. My nail tech was very meticulous and he did a fantastic job. Very friendly and quick.

**TOTALLY PISSED** I would give this place a 5-star review as I have been a returning customer, but this last visit was a nightmare and I do not think I will be going back. Usually gel acrylic fill takes 30-45min and I even asked as my daughter had a dental appointment (30min) Anyways long story short, my outing ended up to be almost 2hr and the nails were ruined. I had to pickup my daughter and return to get them fixed which took another 30min. When asked how much...I got charged the full amount!!! No discount whatsoever for wasting so much of my time. Just says 'if anything, come back!!!' I am super annoyed & pissed. Should have just walked out and not paid but I had my daughter with me & didn't want to cause a scene. Word of advice. Don't go unless you have lots of time to kill (just in case). read more

I absolutely love coming here. The ladies are caring and always remember a face! They give great service and they have a wide variety of colours to choose from. I absolutely always come back. read more

I took a chance on this salon, but as I had just finished moving in nearby I absolutely needed a break. What a pleasant surprise! This family run business made me feel like I had been coming there forever! Extremely clean, extremely professional and Yvonne was incredible. The foot/leg massage was one of the best and longest I have had with any pedicure! My feet are softer than ever and you can bet I will be back again and again! read more

This place is terrible. The nails lasted 1 day and is not cheap. The people are nice BUT the nail quality is lacking greatly. Will not be returning ever. read more

Seriously this is the worst nail salon I've ever been to. The service and the people that work there are nice but the work that they do is ridiculously horrible. I went there as a last minute as I could not get into my regular nail salon and I was so i'm satisfied with the job even after telling them to fix my nails two separate times that they were just planning to leave. Two days later my nails peeled, same issue that some girl had when I was there getting my nails done... I've talked to three people since then who all had similar experiences and everybody's wondering how this place is even in business. Do t do it! read more

One of the best pedicures I've gotten. Really thorough and makes sure everything's perfect. Not the most selection in colour but quality over quantity :) read more

Gel nails were pretty, all shaped nicely, but started to snap in half after roughly 2 weeks.

Seems my review has disappeared once again....maybe the shops or yelp don't like honest reviews. This is my 3rd time reposting a review for this salon. Seems my review is no longer on here, maybe because it was bad. Will never return to this place again. First off greeted rudely by the girl at the desk, rushed through picking my nail colour. I went with a friend for a special treat for her. Her foot bath was cold, mine was just warm. I felt very rushed through the whole pedicure procedure, had to ask the girl for a glass of water for my friend. Then the girl SLICED a chunk of my foot off with the razor! Luckily I didn't get cellulitis but it did take weeks to finally heal. The nail polish lasted about 2 weeks before it fell off in chunks! Will never go here again! Repost, it keeps disappearing for some reason, maybe the owners control what's put on here for all to see! read more

Great job on my nails (only get every so often), but it's hard to find a good salon that's clean, friendly, does a good job and is reasonably priced. I went to the North Van location (off Westview) but my nails were far too "thick" and they grew out looking terrible. I know each person does a different job, but if it's a special occasion and you want them to last......these are the best bang for you buck. I've had them done by two different people and happy both times. I've used other salons that can do them cheaper but they won't last as long or look as good : ) read more

I'm sitting here with my daughter. We are both getting pedicures side by side. Yvonne is doing Emma's toes and Minh is doing mine. They are awesome... I couldn't even feel it when Minh was trimming my cuticles, she's so gentle. We are sitting in massage chairs eating cherries and relaxing. Very good experience! It's a bright, cheerful place, not the place to be if you are looking for low light and a meditative atmosphere, but, it was just right for my daughter and I. We both have beautiful feet now for her birthday. Price was good too. read more

Rainbow Nail Studio - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Me and my friend decided to try out this place since she just moved by there and they had some great Yelp reviews. The customer service was good but they have no idea on how to properly shape nails. First off they didn't even touch my cuticles. Second I have short nails and like a clean look. Every single one of my nails are shaped differently ... And when I asked the man to shape them and make them even he said that he had to cut all my nails down to make them not even looking at the three nails that were completely slanted. I will deff need to get them redone and shaped evenly. My gf had just as bad of an experience she got a new shape that isn't consistent in all her nails. Will not be returning here again. read more

So happy I found this place !! Family owned business even the dad does manicures :))) just lovely people and quality mani pedi !

Decent pedi for $35. Wasn't over the top great, but let's just say you get what you pay for. Mediocre service, especially if they're busy. If they're packed, you'll be left waiting (without any warning prior to arrival), and your service a bit rushed. During my last visit, the credit card machine somehow wasn't working, which they neglected to tell me until I was finished. But as it is a salon in a Mall, you can't really expect too much. read more

Found this place on yelp---I never would have known it is existed otherwise! The owner Andy did an acrylic fill and did a good job and was very personable. The staff, apparently all family, was friendly. Definitely going back. read more

My coworker told me to go to this place and said they were the best. I went and picked out my polish and sat to have my nails done. One person filed my nails and stuck them in solution and left me until the technician came out about 10 minutes later. Technician was nice and friendly. However... when it came time to do my nails the tech used a used file and tools on my hands that were already dirty from a previous client. I don't know about you, but i am used to having cleaned tools and new files used when I get a manicure. Manicure was good, but dirty and reused tools mean thay I'm not going back. read more

I love this place. I always have a hard time with nail polish coming off, even gel nails. The first time I went here I got a gel manicure. It lasted me a whole beautiful 2 weeks which is more than any other time I've gotten nails done elsewhere. They have now become my go to place for nails. They do a great job and clean up your nail beds so well!!!! Would totally recommend and keep coming back! read more

Amazing service, very clean, fun environment since it's a family run operation. They know your name and make you feel at home. The sisters are excellent at what they do and super friendly which I love. I'm so glad I found them and with 25 yrs of experience, they have never let me down. The best shellac nails in town too! read more

I was satisfied with my gel nails as they didn't chip at all in the 3 weeks that I left them on. The service was quick and the parking is free in Madison centre, which is great. The only downside to this experience was that my nail beds started to burn after the first application of polish under the UV light. I told the manicurist this and she said just to pop them out and back in quickly. I had received gel polish at other salons and this had never happened to me before. Although the service was affordable and quick, I would maybe go back for acrylic nails, but not necessarily gel polish application. read more

Such a fantastic place! Wonderful and friendly staff, the service is quick and the final product is great. Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

Not worth getting your acrylics here.. mine broke within a day and within the week four snapped off without effort. Called in to see how much and when I could get a few nails fixed and the man that works there just hung up on me, not to mention when I first got my acrylic full they called me 15 mins before my appointment asking if I could meet 45 minutes later than my original appointment time. Shaping of the nail was not very good as I had to be really specific and picky but the girl still got each nail to different lengths. Overall definitely not worth it. read more

Have come here numerous times and my shellac polish always lasts 3-4 weeks. Friendly family business and always try to be accommodating with appointment times. Reasonably priced as well. Definitely recommend. They also have gift certificates if you still need Christmas gifts. read more

This was bar none the very worst place I've ever had a pedicure. The girls were rude and chatted with each other the whole time which would have been fine had they at least paid attention to what they were doing.they didn't .it was just good luck that I didn't get hacked like the other reviewer. The pedicure was rushed through,there was no calf massage but a rather painful quick rub that lasted about 15 seconds per leg,like they were rushing through all the necessary point forms without any regard to substance. Stupidly,I still left a tip out of habit but if ever one was undeserved it was here. I won't ever be coming back. read more
