    Took my girl to Color Nails and they absolutely killed it with her nails. The design came out amazing and the attention to detail was on point. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming the whole time we were there. I even got a Pedi myself. You can tell the owner really cares and makes sure every customer is helped and taken care of. He even grabbed the mic and did some karaoke which made the experience even better. Great vibes, great service, and great work. Definitely coming back.

    Chipped after one day

    Sadly my time going here has come to an end . Hasn't even been 1 day and my gel manicure has chipped.i walked out with a cut and im 8 months pregnant so if it were to get infected who knows what could happen . The vibe was kinda off and I felt very rushed instead of being able to relax and chill and enjoy the pedicure & manicure .

    From Sunday

    I want to start by saying I've come here many times before and have never had any issues, which is why this experience was surprising and disappointing. On Friday afternoon, March 6th, I paid $80 for a set of Gel X nails. Unfortunately, not even 24 hours later, three of them popped off. I went back to the salon and explained what happened, and they did fix those nails, which I appreciated. However, since then another three nails have popped off, and the salon is closed on Sundays so I haven't been able to go back in. At this point, six nails have come off in less than three days, which is really frustrating especially after paying $80 for the set. I've barely even had the chance to enjoy them. I've always had good experiences here in the past, so I'm hoping this was just a one-time issue. I would really appreciate the salon reaching out and making this right.

    I had gel x nails done on Saturday. Clean and friendly, but my gel polish on my gel x is peeling off literally the 2nd day and chipping on my other nail. Plan to go back and see if they will fix the nails. It is disappointing that my polished chipped. Update: I went back today and they repainted my index nail and my chipped middle finger nail.

    I LOVE COLOR NAILS! Service is so fast. I had two pedi and one stellar nail set. They have a free karaoke show which totally set the vibe! I love love love color nails

    French tip $50

    I really wanted to make this salon my permanent nail spot because the work itself was really good. Chan did my nails and Mia did my toenails, such beautiful work. But I won't be returning due to a lack of trust and transparency at the front desk. They have a sign clearly posted at the front desk stating that customers receive a discount for paying in cash. However, when I paid in cash, I was still charged the full price anyway and was not handed a receipt.

    Fast service, and beautiful out coming nails. They accept walk ins for full designs. Very lovely. Super nice staff. Lily was amazing, she's so fast and talented. Also the owner behind the counter was very welcoming to us. Will be coming back!!!!

    Amazing service! I was short on time and they were able to do my fill and pedicure in just 45 minutes without sacrificing quality.

    I've tried so many different nail salons but I always come back to color nails because the quality of the work done is AMAZING. It's shocking how many people can mess up a regular French but Tee did it exactlyyy how I like it. She's the cutest and so sweet. She even took pictures of my nails for me (: The guy at the front has been so kind in the decade + I've come here. Thank you Color nails!

    Used to get my nails done here when I went to SJSU and 10 years later they're still amazing! Julie did this cute chrome cateye set in less than an hour. Showed her my inspo pic and she was easily able to create this with her own style. Would definitely travel from SF again the next time I want to get cute design for a reasonable price :)

    French tip on my natural nails.

    I come to Color Nails Salon every time I'm in San Jose. They are truly the best fast and great customer service every time. They never disappoint.

    New set!

    Always a great vibe when I come to color nails, especially if Steve is there. I came in and got seated for nails right away. My nail tech was very helpful and informative. I am picky about shape, length, and apex. She helped me decide between outline and French tips. I waited a little while for my pedi because they were super busy (they are the best in San Jose so I didn't mind waiting). I didn't give 5 stars because my pedicure lady wasn't the friendliest and gave me a hard time because I didn't want my toe nails cut down to the skin. Seemed like because I said something she was rougher than usual. Other than that I 10/10 recommend color nails for vibes, great nails, beautiful pedi, and fast service.

    By Anh

    Designs by Anh and Thao are always amazing! I can't recommend Color Nails enough. You can always get in with little to no wait, and everyone there is incredibly friendly. Steve, the owner, keeps everything running smoothly and organized (and even does karaoke, which keeps the vibes fun and upbeat). They always offer you a drink, take their time with your service, and make sure everything is done thoroughly. Best of all, my nails last a full 4 weeks every time.

    Really wanted to like the salon because my coworker spoke so many good things about it. She said…read moreKelly was the best and naturally I requested Kelly to do my nails. When you first get here, it's located on the street so there is no designated parking for you car. You have to park on the street. The ladies are very welcoming and nice. What got me disappointed was I came with a broken nail and the rest of my nails only needed a fill. As Kelly was removing it, she used a nail acrylic and went around the edges of my broken nail and YANKED IT REALLY HARD. IT EVEN STARTED TO BLEED AND ALL SHE SAID WAS SORRY. That was my first warning. At that point I didnt want to get my nails done anymore but my graduation was in 2 days so I just brushed it off. Next, Kelly asked if I wanted to do a whole new set because she said it was better than a fill. THATS MY OTHER MISTAKE BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT A NEW SET. ONLY A FILL. She took my nails off anyway. The removal process for my other nails were ok. I chose to do dip powder for my dark blue nails. When Kelly was doing my nails, Im pretty sure she rushed because customers were coming in and wanting to get their nails done. On top of that, she dipped the brush with a lot of powder when usually its supposed to be a little at a time. My nails came out at an uneven color. In addition, usally dip powder nails are $35. Tell me why my nails came out to be $45? (I tipped $5 totalling $50). Did they charge me for the length or something because I was never told that but it was partly my fault too since I didn't ask. But where did the price come from? The cost for the shape? Well certainly the shape doesn't look like the skinny coffin I wanted. I truly believe Kelly didn't do her best on my set and just wanted to rush to do other clients. I would never come here again! Don't waste your time and PLEASE listen to the reviews. For some basic nails with no design, THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU CAN GET IT ELSEWHERE FOR $40 with t

From booking a last minute same day appointment to the entire experience. Nothing but positive things to say all around! The person who answered the phone was very helpful and accommodating! He warmed me that it does get busy after work and was able to book me the appointment no problems! Upon arriving, I was able to check in and seated at exactly my appointment time. That was the first green flag for me as I know other places like to overbook and I have to end up waiting for an appointment which was suppose to cut down wait times. Additionally, I really liked how the front desk and the staff that was doing my nails did not push me to get gel where I know other places will really be pushy and try to get more money out of you. Vy was the lady that did my pedicure and i was really impressed with how thorough she was. She definitely did not rush and took her time where I felt so relaxed and not worry whether the nails were going to look bad. At the end, she was able to check in with me to see if I liked it and if needed to fix anything. I paid with card but i didn't have cash for tip but the guy that helped me in the front/on the phone, who actually turned out to be the owner share the tip to ask the workers for their venmo to tip them! Absolutely best service so far in San Jose I've been to! I will be returning!
