    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 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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I loved itttsoooo pretty and best service I loved the nails tooooooooooooo loved the experience

    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.

Before this salon, I went to many different shops because other salons would make my acrylic thick and crooked. Ever since I found this shop, I am completely satisfied with my nails. They look natural and professional! I have had Tammy and Jessica do my nails, along with some other technicians who have all been good. Today, Jessica did a wonderful job on my brittle nails that I was embarrassed of! She was so nice, and so is the woman who runs the shop up front (owner). Please give this salon a try! If there is a wait, that's because they have a bunch of return business, but they will always try to assist you ASAP.

I stopped coming here for a few months because of how behind they run and they constantly call me to ask me to come later than my appointment and still make me wait. I decided to come back because I missed my pedicures with Rosa, who is the best and amazing at her job. At 9:42AM, the owner calls me asking to come at 5:30 instead of 5, so I said ok. I show up at 5:30 and she told me it's gonna be another 15 minutes or so, which already was annoying. She came up to me again after to tell me Rosa is running behind so I told her that I feel their system is overbooking her techs because this happens every single time, and she disagreed and said Rosa is slow and its her fault and that she sucks. I told her she should not be talking about her employees like that because its extremely disrespectful & unprofessional because Rosa makes her money. She responded "Rosa doesn't make me money, she's too slow". I could not believe how rude she was being. Without her techs, she would have no business. She is always rushing everyone, and you can read multiple reviews how various people felt their services were rushed. She's just greedy & money hungry. Most of the time I come in, someone's getting into it with the owner. She takes zero accountability. She also got upset and was yelling in the middle of the salon about me, which if you ask me is quite unprofessional. She was yelling at Rosa the whole time, and Rosa approached me to apologize, but I let her know its not her fault at all and how amazing she is. The owner then stormed by yelling at Rosa to tell her "tell her its your fault not mine". She also kept screaming in the salon how they close at 6, and I'm lucky, but SHE called me to move my appointment to later. She also told me I couldn't make appointments there anymore, but that doesn't offend me, I don't want my money going to her pockets. I already stopped going there for a long time because of how she runs her salon. I highly encourage not coming here, but if you do, go to Rosa and let the owner know how amazing she does at her job.

One of my acrylics was lifting and extremely painful when pressed, and when I mentioned this to her, she was extra careful when removing it by holding the nail down and filing gently. It turns out that my pain was from a broken nail halfway up the nail plate which made me nervous to continue with gel (I don't get my nails done frequently). Lynn was very reassuring and did a great job reinforcing the nail with dip and I assume some strengthening polish, plus gave me advice on when she thinks it will grow out long enough to cut it and get rid of the split. I wasn't in any pain and my nails look great! I was so nervous because I know some nail techs can be rough, but I left so relieved. Price was fair as well - $40 for acrylics removal and a fresh gel coat that I'm happy with. They only accept cash tips though so plan accordingly.
