Rainbow Nail Salon was referred to me, so I took my granddaughter in for a manicure and pedicure as a birthday gift, hoping it would be a relaxing and positive experience. When we arrived, I noticed they only accept cash. Wanting to be prepared, I politely asked the woman doing the pedicure about the cost so I'd know whether I needed to step out to the bank. Her response caught me off guard; it was unnecessarily rude and dismissive. She also repeatedly tried to upsell additional services such as toe extensions and callus removal. My granddaughter is a child, so those services weren't needed, and I declined more than once. Later, my granddaughter shared that the same woman had been yelling at another customer as well. I understand that everyone can have an off day--we're human. But rudeness and aggressive upselling take away from what should be a calm, respectful environment. Unfortunately, that was our experience. read more

Out of all my bad experiences at this salon, today was the final straw. I will no longer support their nail techs. I arrived at 12:00 PM and didn't leave until 4:15 PM--and my nails are still incomplete. I now have to go elsewhere to get them finished. Before starting, I showed Michael exactly what I wanted. He agreed, yet in the end, I received none of the details I requested--no decals, no pearls, no gold accents. I tried to compromise and asked for a simple letter "S," but it came out so poorly that I asked for its removal. Instead of handling my request professionally, I was met with rudeness, disrespect, and attitude. When I tried to discuss adjusting the price since my nails weren't done properly, I couldn't even get a conversation. Yet, I still paid $100 and tipped for my pedicure because I respect paying for labor. However, this experience was beyond frustrating. On top of their poor customer service, this salon is severely understaffed. This issue has been ongoing, making every visit an all-day event. What should be a two-hour trip turns into an exhausting five-hour ordeal. Instead of hiring more employees, they leave customers waiting endlessly and ask them to come back another day (inconsiderate to people's busy schedules). I work too hard for my money to spend it on poor service, long wait times, and unnecessary stress. Nail salons should be a place to unwind, relax, and feel pampered--but that has never been the case here. I've been coming to this salon for over three years, putting up with their terrible service. Almost every visit, I witness another frustrated customer dealing with the same issues. They are ungrateful for their patrons, unwelcoming, and unprofessional. And honestly, it's my own fault for continuing to enable it. I've referred so many people here, yet today's treatment was beyond disappointing--even though it wasn't surprising. I usually keep my nails simple just to avoid their drama, but today, I wanted something special for Valentine's Day, and even that was too much to ask. The only people who have ever been consistently kind and thorough are Tee and the youngest sister--they are the exception, not the rule. Until they improve their staffing, customer service, and professionalism, I won't be back--especially not for Michael or Ivy because they aren't kind. read more

I've gone here three times good work, still mediocre but good for the price I guess, but along the way terrible terrible customer service I've tried to give them chances but left pissed for my birthday set once and now I waited 3 hrs cause they were packed and watched them help people before me when asking why people who came in after me are getting helped before me, they say they had appointment but it's only walk ins ? When I ask okay so when will I be next they had the nerve to say " I don't know" so rude. Unprofessional. On top of that nobody greets you when u walk in. Wasted my time twice in a row will never be coming back.dont go to Michael ever again!!!! read more

Awful Experience - Should've Trusted the Bad Reviews I regret not trusting the negative comments about this nail shop. My first visit was terrible. The technician had a bad attitude and stayed on her phone the whole time only stopping when I said something. She cut my left foot and filed the skin on my right toe. Mimi also applied polish without a base coat, which is careless and unprofessional. I only came because a friend recommended it based on the ratings, but this was a huge letdown. I appreciate my usual spot so much more now. Pasty Nail Shop has great customer service and a clean, welcoming space. Never coming back here again. read more

I was told they would do my nails because I was picky. Specifically by both women and The Man as well as Micheal. This nail shop charges estimated $80 per visit for pedicure and nails. I was never rude. My nails were not the best. In addition one, Nail was repaired twice by Micheal. The nail kept coming off. So that means I'm paying five dollars for a nail to be repaired over and over. Now the entire Nail has been removed. Do not go to this nail shop is a reason they have three stars and I'm only giving one because I have to. Their roof is leaking water. The bathroom is not clean. Micheal wants had me waiting a hour and a half and asked me to come to the shop when it opens and had no memory of that. He was yelling and I told him just finished my nail. I don't have time for that. I believe they don't like Black people. Point blank. RUN IN the other direction when you see the rainbow. read more

Got a gel pedicure done today after 9 months without pedicure and let me tell you they went above and beyond. Removed callus, cleaned up my nails really good and gave me a nice leg massage. Would highly recommend this place. Plus relaxing music and massage chairs. Wish I can give them a million stars but it only goes up to 5. read more

They do a great job and charge a very reasonable price unlike most places , I enjoy their gel manicure and pedicures , got my daughter nails done there but it peeled off fast I think because she's a kid and be just playing rough but they came out really cute read more

I've been coming here since 2014 so almost 10 years. They are always super nice and obviously have got to know me over the years. I'm greeting with smiles and a "Hello" every time I walk in. I get my acrylics and toes done each time. Here a few picture of my nails from over the years. All my nails have lasted me OVER 4 weeks and could've gone longer if i didn't take them off or go fill! read more

UPDATED REVIEW May 17th 2022 11:20 AM: I don't know what happened to rainbow nails. SMFH. First off I didn't even want to come here for my color change because Ivy infected/damaged my nails being way to rough calling me a cry baby because I like my nails soaked off instead of ripped from my nail bed!! I went there today for a simple color change and the young Asian boy was just rude and nasty with me. Staring at me like I'm crazy or some homeless loitering. I had to literally ask him like "what's up?" He then screams "you need something?!" Like huh? (Already off to a bad start) I say "yes, my nails. Is Ivy here?" Then he says "yes" so I sit down. Little do he know, I've been coming to Ivy for 5 years! Today was my LAST DAY&& then while I'm in there the girl is getting her feet done and all the wiring behind her chair starts smoking and catching fire (just ghetto) which lets me know they need to get all new wiring done in this facility which is NOT SAFE! I saw that, then added up the formal disrespect and rude attitudes when I walked in and I said FUCK THIS. NO I refuse. I'm done with the disrespect and lack of decency for my BLACK life. You'd think all the money I've spent here and all the love I've showed them they'd be more loving and welcoming. IVY CANT EVEN REMEMBER MY NAME (LMFAO but she knows me?) this woman confuses me with every other black woman. Even has pictures of me on her Instagram page LOL but treats me like a new booty customer like I don't know she really has a stank ass attitude a will sit there and tell you what she feels like you need instead of giving you what you WANT! Our relationship literally turned into back and forth bantur because I refuse to let someone I'm paying fine me WHAT THEY WANT. I'm sick of this bullshit and I'm done. Goodbye Rainbow Nails. Torrance T nails is much better, cleaner and friendly. read more

Don't come here if you value service and your nails. I had good expectations when I walked in and got seated within 5 minutes but definitely wasn't worth it. Ivy did my full set and you can tell she just wanted to get this over with and get me out of the chair as fast as possible. Halfway through doing my acrylics, she just walks away without letting me know or saying anything to do another girls eyebrow wax who had just got there. After putting the acrylic on my nails, I get ONE clear top coat and that's it and immediately goes on her phone to messages while im waiting for the gel to dry. I walked out with sore nail beds, acrylic dust all over my fingers and At least she got the almond shape even, which is a lot more I can say then other nail salons. ‍ read more

First time being here for a medi & pedi both French tip and let me say this these people know what they're doing!!! I may have found my new nail shop!!! read more

WARNING!!!! I was welcomed with stares. After realizing I was not going to be greeted I went on to ask if they had time for a pedicure. They informed that they did and it would be a 5 minute wait. I did indeed wait about five minutes to be seated & it seemed like the pedicure itself was faster than the wait time. Firstly, the water was cold and I had to ask for warmer water. She did a super quick cuticle clean up, put excessive amount of oil on legs, didn't clean under toenails or trim the nail on my big toe after telling her it was bothering me, and did a sloppy messy horrible paint job. At checkout, I expressed my concern but they just stared at me so I paid the $18 and come to YELP. This is not the place for Pedicures! So spare yourself the disappointment and frustration and go elsewhere. read more

All the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. I've never gotten bad service or work that wasn't beautiful and long lasting.

Walk ins only, no appointments but you won't have a serious wait time. You're able to even come in and add your name, number, and desired service to front desk list and wait in your car or grab a bite close by. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Ok sooooo I know my previous review was a bit harsh. Now that I have come to have so type of relationship with this shop I need to recant on some of the comments I made before. The pedicures are always good, they are done exactly how they should be. However they're method of callus removal is unconventional, this takes nothing away from the pedicure as it is done to the t. For a great full set always choose ivy or mike ONLY read more

All I needed was removal of dip powder with tips. It was about 6:30 and they closed at 7:00pm. Every time I've ever gotten dip powder removal my nails come out healthy underneath. Not this time. The guy who name started with an H proceeds to rip the dip powder off my nail. I immediately asked for a soak and was told it would take too long. He hastily placed my hands in acetone leaving the dip powder to get all over my fingers and finger tips. He kept trying to rip the powder off to save time..The photos are when I asked him to just stop so I could complete the removal At a different salon. My nails were traumatized and are paper thing and sensitive now. read more

Please don't waste your time and money here.. This place is very dirty. They don't clean their tools after use it on anther customer.. I had to tell the 12 year old girl that they sent to do my feet to get a new set of tools. This started for them to start jibber jabber in their language. I told them that if was a problem, I could always so somewhere else. That was very unsanitary! I should of just left after I saw this. But, I was referred that they did a very nice job. I stayed to find out. Expensive and they work they do ani't good. You ask for something and they end up doing their own thing. The all women in this are very RUDE! I asked for dip and it feel off within 3days. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I've been going here for years and they never fail to give me what I want! I always get compliments on my nails.

I never thought that spending hours at a nail shop was my idea of a great time, but once the nails were done it was all worth it! I started coming here I would say 3-4 years ago it was just a random stop, I had tried a couple of nail shops and was never satisfied with their work... But after this random stop I never stopped making that stop. I love it here!! everyone is always complementing my nails even after growth and fill needed. I tell everyone about this nail shop. Everyone here is just the sweetest!!! I advice everyone to give them a shot I promise you won't regret it! read more

I've given this place so many tries and it is really a hit or miss. The guy is the only one that does a decent job with acrylics but after today, I am not going back. You only get good service when you go early in the morning. After 2 they are all tired and in a bad mood and you can tell, especially the older lady. My aunt had warned me that I should only go in the morning and I should have listened. The older lady did my nails today and was obviously tired and in a bad mood. My nails are so thick and she left my cuticles looking horrible. When she was filling down my nails with the machine she had it at such a high speed that it felt like she was burning my nail bed. read more
