    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.

    I'm so disappointed in the quality of gel. I went in for a gel manicure / pedicure expecting it to…read morelast at least a couple of weeks, but it started chipping within just a few days. 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. :(

    Local Honey - Cuticles cut even when not requested (I haven't been to a salon in about 7 years so I thought the "technician" saw something I didn't).

    Local Honey - Although only three nails still a sloppy pain job.

    Made an appointment for powder nails and a spa manicure with hot stone. They were running late and…read moreasked me to come later which was fine. When I arrived at the new time they were still fifteen minutes behind. Told my technician, Chanel who I have had for over four years and loved that I wanted the spa pedicure with hot stones. I was given a regular pedicure. When I brought it up she said that I could do the spa pedicure with the hot stones next time. I don't know if because she was running behind she decided not to do it. After having my hands done I got up to go and Chanel realized the polish on my big toe was smudged from the toe next to it hitting the big toe. Chanel said "look what you did" in a harsh tone like I was five years old and went to fix the smudge. She didn't have me go to the foot dryer to dry the nail just took payment and told me in another harsh to not forget to take anythi g with me when I lemy wallet phone and purse like I was not welcome. I was devastated and left with a wet big toe that almost got smudged. Crazy thing is I am not mad about the smudge, but just the way I was treated in front of everyone in the salon should not have happened. This is endemic of a problem of success. As the salon gets busy, and turnover needs to be quick, you do not have time for the clients but this is not how you treat long term clients. I know my no longer coming here will not phase them l. They are busy and I am happy for their success, but being treated like that after coming there for years was so disrespectful and not like the service I normally received that I felt compelled to write a review.
