    My husband and I were in the area for a party and afterwards wanted to get a pedicure. (Well I wanted to and he was driving ) We drove by this nail salon and decided to give it a try. It was a Sunday afternoon and luckily there was no wait. The salon looks fairly clean and they have massage chairs for the pedicures. Two must haves for me! They have a sign posted on the wall with prices, which is helpful for baseline decisions. But when you sit down they give you a menu for the different packages. A basic pedicure is $25, but if you want a callous removal it's $36. They do the upsell you often while you are seated, after you've chosen your package. Which I don't love, but I get why they ask. We were in and out in about 35-40 min. It was a nice time. Relaxing to a certain extent. And the staff is really nice. If you pay via Zelle you don't have to pay the $1 credit card fee.

    My new favorite color. Thank you for the recommendation. So friendly environment

    My go-to spot for gel-x! They're always super nice when I go! And my nails are always looking really pretty when they're done! Don't miss out on the pedicures! I've just been broke as a joke, but I do love my pedicures here when I can get them! I have had lovely experiences with everyone! Thomas does take extra care when I do my gel-x nails! Overall for the price and the service, this place is a cute spot for sure!

    I had an amazing experience at rainbow nails. The staff are attentive and they take good care of me. The shop is cleaned and organized. I love the designs. I get pink cat eye with red bows and pink polka dots. I also have pink pedicure. They offer $60 for gel mani pedi. If you add designs and cat eye like me then there are extra charges. Otherwise just stick with one color gel mani and pedi for $60. Their promo will end at the end of Feb 2026 so stop by before then. Stop by for an amazing and relaxing experience.

    Stumbled across this hidden gem when I was in the area. I just needed a simple and clean pedicure. Their pricing is great in this economy. It's hard to find spots where it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I love that they also do gel combos. I decided to treat myself to a Volcano Luxury Pedi which includes sea salt soak, classic pedicure, callus treatment, sugar scrub exfoliation, mud mask, hot stone massage with candle oil service, and paraffin. I decided to upgrade to gel for only $10. It was a very relaxing experience especially with the candle experience. The staff was super sweet and friendly. Would definitely come back!

    Been going here since pre-covid and I'll probably go here forever! So I come here pretty regularly, approximately every 3 weeks. I usually make an appt but sometimes have been a walk in. Nobody knows my sensitive hands better than Rainbow Nails! Or how I like to get my old nails soaked off and then cut them down myself. Or that I like my almond shape pointy-er because mine go blunt pretty quickly. I love glitter, I love the magnetic cat eye, and sometimes I like a little bit of chrome. And they kill it everytime! I dont have any photos but in June of 2024 I got a different color on each nail and it took a while but they did so great! My nails are sensitive bc I tend to self-remove them sometimes, and my hands/skin is also sensitive (eczema unfortunately) but they are really good at being careful, and reading me if I'm getting uneasy. I dont like a ton of cuticle work done (I have a drill at home so I like to do it myself) and its never been an issue. Tons of colors to pick from. They have gel and regular polish. Acrylics, dip, and gel-x available, and I believe builder gel but I'm not even sure what that is. I dont get pedicures (I'm always in flip flops so a pedicure wont last on me), but the pedi-chairs are always bumpin so I'm sure the pedicures are bomb too. It's not a fancy boujiee place, like youre not getting complimentary champagne. But they do a great job and the pricing is so good. - Walk ins okay but highly recommend calling and making an appointment l. - Zelle, card, or cash. They have a stamp card where if you pay cash you will earn a discount on a future visit.

    I got a gel manicure with a design here at Rainbow Nail in Buena Park, and it was amazing! The total was $70, and it was totally worth it. The most impressive part was how kind and sweet the nail artists and the owner were. When I showed them the design I wanted, they gave me helpful feedback and made sure I loved it every step of the way. I really appreciated how attentive and caring they were throughout the whole session! Super chill and sweet vibe! I'll definitely be coming back. Thank you so much, Rainbow Nail! If you're looking for a good and kind nail salon in the Buena Park area, I highly recommend visiting here!

    Anna is simply the best! Takes her time, and makes sure it's perfect before leaving! Highly recommend this place!!

    I have never had a better pedicure experience than the one I just received at Rainbow Nails, everything was perfect! The lemon scrub has my skin and feet feeling baby soft, the massage was the perfect pressure and for a lengthy amount of time, and they paid extra attention to detail when painting my toes. I could have fallen asleep during the pedicure I was so happy and relaxed. Everyone who worked there was sweet and genuine, especially the owner! She and I had great conversation and she made sure I was happy through every step. Prices are unbeatable for this level of service! It's located across from the downtown Buena Park mall, and just down the street from knotted berry farm. I will definitely be back to support this wonderful woman owned business!

    Love my nails here! They really did a great job making my nails look so good! I was so happy with my results. There's so many different colors to choose from and the staff are all so friendly. The prices here are very reasonable as well. I'll definitely be coming back. Love the vibes here.

    This spot just opened. They have affordable price for mani and pedi. Since it just open this month, they also offer 15% discount for this month. They sterilize their instruments and the nail filers are single use, and you can take them home. The staff is nice. Overall, it was a great experience. They also have a lot of colors to chose from as well as nail designs. My toes definitely appreciated this! It was so relaxing. I took my mom here as well and she loved it! Come treat yourself and your mom for Mother's Day!

    Thao is so nice and friendly. Awesome customer service. I got a relaxing pedicure. They started me with a warm foot bath with a therapeutic massaging water jet and rose petals. They have a wide range of colors and designs, and I decided on a light pink pastel with a chrome finish. I love the result. My feet are so soft and the color is amazingly beautiful. They only use sterilized equipment and they open new ones in front of you. They also use new files for each customer and you can take them home if you want to reuse them. They offered me water and treats during the service.

    Came in on a Sunday to put off doing errands a little longer and had the warmest welcome from the owner Leslie. The lovely Anna helped me with my pedicure today and boy did I need it. They have a bunch of pedicure options and scents, I chose Lemon Quench which included a sea salt soak, sugar scrub, mud mask and massage butter. It did give me peace of mind that they opened a new set of tools and bowl liner before working on my feet. She took her time sculpting my toe nails and exfoliating my legs and feet to finally get them Spring time ready! With so many salons in Orange County I've found it difficult to find a place that has been reasonably priced and consistent. The service here was amazing and the price was extremely reasonable. I can't wait to be back! On the way out they also mentioned that they do lashes and brows as well by appointment only.

    Great service today from Katie and Ana I haven't treated myself to a mani/pedi for about 4 months so my hands and feet were a mess.

    UPDATE!!! The owner called my mobile number and checked on me. I appreciate their customer support…read more I've been to Luxe Nail Salon before and generally like the salon, but unfortunately, my experience with Megan this time was just average. During my gel pedicure, the massage felt very repetitive, as she kept massaging the same area of my feet, as if rubbing it raw. She also repeatedly looked at the timer and her watch and was yawning throughout the service, which made me feel like she was tired and ready to finish. At one point, another client was talking loudly on her phone. Megan seemed annoyed by it and tried to engage me in the annoyance, but I chose to just brush it off and enjoy my service. My manicure with clear polish also felt rushed. Unfortunately, the gel polish on my right pinky toe has already come off, and I don't have the time to go back to have it fixed. Despite the experience, I still left a good tip because I appreciate the effort and wanted to be fair. I do like Luxe Nail Salon and would consider returning, but I hope the quality and attention to detail are more consistent. Perhaps Megan just needed a little more sleep or maybe she does a better job when she has more time to chat/gossip and connect with her clients.

    Disappointing Experience -- Nothing "Luxe" About It…read more From the manager to the technician, the lack of professionalism and customer service was disappointing. The technician arrived 10 minutes late and spent much of my appointment gossiping about other technicians. My request was simple: a square-round shape. Unfortunately, even that wasn't delivered. When I asked for assistance, the manager, Lin, became involved but handled the situation aggressively--standing over me, interrupting me, and creating an uncomfortable, hostile environment. Prices continue to increase, but the quality and professionalism simply aren't there. Don't be misled by the name Luxe--there was nothing luxurious about my experience. If I could give zero stars, I would.

She has been one of my favorite pedicurista so far, although my nails weren't as opaque on the entire nail as I was hoping they would be, the massage and attentiveness to detail on my nail care made up for it. I had chosen a milky off white for my toes and a couple areas had more polish than others, although hard to tell from far away. I would absolutely love to come back and give it another try!

    0 STARS!!! My boyfriend brought me for a full set and pedicure as a treat and the job that Lyly did…read morewas HORRENDOUS! I have NEVER been so disappointed in a nail tech. I asked for gel X, and Lyly who did the gluing applied way too much glue. By the time I realized it, she had handed me off to a second nail tech to finish the job. I honestly felt bad saying something about the glue since the job was almost finished and it wasn't the second girls fault. Unfortunately the more I looked at my nails the more I realized they looked abnormally raised! I called the next day in the morning and Lyly said to go in and she would fix them for FREE! When I get there she says my nails are perfect and that I'm being picky. I have been doing my nails at salons and on my own for a long time now and have never walked out with my nails going upward. After she removed the nails I asked her to just do acrylic French tip and I would pay the difference. When she was ready to polish my nails she tells me to pick a solid color because I am too picky and that I need to pay $60. Excuse me! Why is she insulting me and why is she charging me for brand new services. If I had known she wasn't going to honor her word I would have never returned. I have never walked out without paying but that was the day. She then calls me and tells me I need to pay $40. I end up paying her for the sake of ending the back and forth but let it be known that NOT only did she insult me, she ripped me off and lied to me, as well as harassed me. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the bottom of my nails. But I will upload one for reference. And I WILL block everyone's number because clearly Lyly didn't care about her customer's privacy when she sent me the screenshot. NEVER going here! Lyly is horrible. As a customer service business you need to give the customer what they are asking for and act professional.
