They use liners in the pedicure tubs, have a huge selection of colors and the whole salon feels very professional and well cared for. They also take pride in properly sanitizing their tools and keeping everything extremely clean, which is very important to me! It's a family owned business which I love supporting. Patty is my favorite. She's incredibly sweet, detail oriented and always does such a wonderful job.

My only reason for 3 stars is that the woman doing my nails asked me to put a mask on. I'm not against it at all and I completely understand if certain businesses still want it. However, the woman getting her nails done next to me wasn't wearing one. She seemed like she was a regular. And when I moved to the back to get my pedicure, two women back there didn't have them on either. I'm all for complying with a company's policy. I would never argue it or cause a scene but if it applies to one it should apply to all whether the customer is a regular ot not.

I always get Tier 3 or special nail art done and I spend around $130-$150 on my sets. It's quality and I don't mind paying for what I get. I've had almost every nail tech in the salon. But my main girl is Amaya (who is now only at the HON studio). She always takes extra care and time on my nails to ensure everything is properly placed and is built to last. She has never done me wrong!!!! When I get my pedicures at the Rego Park location, my regular polish pedicures are done so well that they will last months... my gel pedicures last for a long time too. Overall, all the nail techs know what they're doing and they do it really well. Everyone is always so kind here and the vibes are always fun. If you go in the morning, it's more calm. For mamas like me, you're going to want that extra calm atmosphere in the morning so make sure you schedule your appointments then. But if you're also like me and you end up scheduling a night time appointment, that can be peaceful too. :)

I've been coming to Colorful Nails for years and have always appreciated the quality of their…read morepowder dip manicures. However, I've consistently had issues with appointments not being honored. Despite calling a week in advance and confirming my time, the last few visits have resulted in long waits or being told they don't have time for me at all -- without any apology or acknowledgment. Most recently, I booked an appointment for myself and a friend. We arrived on time and were told they couldn't take us. We offered to go have lunch and return in an hour, and they agreed. When we came back, they still didn't have time for us. It's frustrating, especially when it happens repeatedly and there's no effort to make it right. If appointments are not going to be honored, they simply shouldn't take them. Sadly, because of this consistent issue and lack of accountability, I won't be returning.

I'm surprised this place has to reviews yet...maybe because from the outside it looks like a tiny…read morerun-of-the-mill little place..maybe because nail salons along Metropolitan Avenue are a dime a dozen. I ventured here when my usual place wasn't open that day and I'm very happy I did. Ended up getting the Green Tea Spa Pedicure (see photo for pedicure offerings and current pricing). Never had steam on my legs before during a pedicure and it felt like a unique extra touch that was enjoyable. Place is extremely clean and sanitary and I noticed people were trickling in and out while I was there. Most of the employees seem to speak enough English to communicate effectively (and of course some Spanish-speaking employees as well). My pedicure was done by Mia and I was so happy at the end, I tipped her $20 ontop of the price. They are extremely friendly, don't rush at all, and even a free shoulder rub while my toes were drying. They offer a stamp card for frequent visits so be sure to ask for one! Will definitely be back to check out their manicures.

I booked last minute and went in kind of blind since the website doesn't show anyone's work -- so…read moreyou're basically guessing who to book with. I'm a guy and not sure how often they do more masculine-leaning designs, but they really nailed it and knocked it out of the park with this one. I brought inspo pics for a gel design, but there was a bit of miscommunication and the design wasn't coming out right. That said, before we even got there, my nails looked so good -- super clean, crisp, and perfectly shaped. Even without polish, I would've been happy leaving like that. They had another manicurist, Dolker, step in and she completely turned it around. She checked in with me on each nail and executed the design way better -- I left really happy. They also took $15 off, which I appreciated. The manicure itself lasted almost 4 weeks with no chipping and I kept getting compliments. One tip: bring cash for gratuity -- otherwise it's Venmo only, but there's a bodega right across the street if you need it. I'd definitely come back -- just booking with Dolker next time. The salon is really cute too.

For the price they charge, the quality was nowhere near acceptable. Within 3-4 days, multiple nails were already lifting and chipping, which completely defeats the purpose of getting a gel manicure in the first place. I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this salon if you're looking for a long-lasting gel manicure. :(
