I went in for a removal of hard gel and to get a regular manicure. They took me in right away. I was seated and they thought I had powder. I advised them that I did not have powder, I had hard gel. I would presume is the owner. She was rushing to take off the polish and she was burning my nail bed with the e file. I advised her that it was burning and to please let the remover sit. She proceeded to yell and get nasty with me. When I said I was going to leave because they clearly didn't know how to remove hard gel, which is fine I would have preferred you were honest and said you didn't know how to remove it. She began to scream in my face and insisted I paid for a service I did not receive or that they completed. I said I would stay for the removal but after that I am leaving because I genuinely felt like I had no other option. She was very aggressive, I genuinely thought she was capable of standing between me and the door. During my service, I watched them use the same acetone bowl that they used for me for someone else. That is extremely unsanitary and a violation of the department of health. I remember I use to come here as a kid and they were always full. Now I understand why they're empty. The owner lacks professionalism. There is no reason why you should be screaming in a clients face. I have been in customer service in a long time and I would never. read more

Six years later and I STILL love it here! I've since moved to Maspeth. I found a new salon but I'm not as satisfied as I was with Rainbow. Kelly and Yo-yo are the best for SNS. They scrub your feet well here - at my last place they barely scrubbed and my feet need a ton of scrubbing :( I drive 15 minutes but leave super happy so it's well worth it! read more

Manicures here are decent. The youngest two nail technicians are my favorite. They do really good work. This past time I went however I had called ahead of time to ask if I could come now. The woman said yes so I drove the 5 minutes there. Took me MAYBE 10 min in total. When I get there it's packed. Understandable for a Saturday. I wait about 15 minutes before asking how much longer. She told me 20 min. I was a little annoyed because if there was a wait, she could've told me that on the phone. No big deal. Maybe they really wanted the customer and thought that telling me they were busy and it would be a long wait would turn me away. So I leave and come back exactly 20 min later. She puts me in a chair and I sit there for no joke, 30 more minutes. When I ask she says that the nail technician who was going to do my nails was having lunch. Now I know how busy this place is and people need breaks but why didn't she just tell me that it would be a wait?! It was just a complete waste of my time and I will not be bothered to return here. read more

I've been going to this nail Salon since 2016! The owner is so welcoming and kind. Yes, they do get busy, yes I've had to wait awhile sometimes for a nail technician but I always plan accordingly. I got acrylics, with SNS and a custom design in gel which the male worker absolutely perfected. Thank you Rainbow nail & Spa! read more

Amazing salon, clean and lots of color choices. The staff is beyond friendly and always has a smile on their face. They are taking extra precautions during this time and have set up dividers between the clients and the staff (see pic) I have had almost everyone do my nails and they are all great. The spa pedicure packages are very inexpensive and they do a fantastic job. I went to Kelly today, she was great (see pic)! Very sweet and professional. read more

I have been coming here since 2016 on and off and regularly since 2019. They have very reasonable prices for the area and do quality work, especially when it comes to SNS. I get a regular pedicure with SNS gel manicure and my nails last upwards 3 weeks. Kelly is my favorite, my nails look sharp and clean every time she does them. I also show her ideas from Pinterest and she nails it (hahaha get it) every time. I now live in eastern Long Island and have yet to find a nail salon that can even hold a candle to Rainbow nails. read more

I can't say anything negative about Rainbow nail & spa. However; The first time I visited with my wife we were treated with respect and courtesy. I felt comfortable and accepted. Today Saturday June 15th 2024 I again visited with my wife and the lady at the front was very rude with me and my wife. everyone else that walked into the establishment was greeted with a smile and warmth. I'm not sure if being a man played a part and maybe she doesn't like men, but I was a paying customer just like everyone else that visits. Again the staff are friendly and their work is amazing. Will I visit there again, for my wife yes, for my manicures, as long as that rude bitch is not there, maybe. read more

Horrible service & attitude. Asked for a soak off for a reg gel manicure & tried to use a drill to get them off. I politely asked if she could use a nail file instead (because my nail beds are very sensitive) or let them soak longer & she got a visible attitude. She then started filing my nails super rough to the point where she was grazing skin on every single nail. She didn't even bother to get all of the gel off as you can see on the borders/edges of my nails. Waste of $10. read more

I really liked the ladies here. Unfortunately I ended up with a cuticle infection my finger turned green and I had to go the ER. The doc had to drain it and I'm on antibiotics now. It's extremely painful and now I have to wear a huge bandage on my finger. The doctor said this happens when you get powder manicure because there's no way to sterilize in between customers and they don't sterilize their tools an open new packaging for each customer either. I won't be returning. They should really shape up before they're shut down. read more

Rainbow Nail & Spa - SNS nails. Asked for sharp square - Nail Salons Near Me - Glendale, New York

Waiting over 45 minutes With barely anyone in the store . No service rendered the owner waited for a client that was over 45 minutes late. Just sitting there looking in the air. They way they treat the people here is really unprofessional. If I could give zero stars I would. Second time coming here and the same issue. read more

This is from today. I had SNS and removed them, went to her for regular mani. She didn't buff out my nails and just put nail polish on top of the SNS residue. I asked her multiple times to buff them out, she kept saying it's ok. After coloring the first nail, I asked to speak to her boss and she was like we don't buff out nails after SNS. So disappointed. Never going there again. read more

Horrible experience. They pressured me like you would not believe to get something I literally did not want. They would not give me what I wanted for some odd reason- acrylic tips with pained French. I made absolutely no sense and I left very upset. read more

Very rude staff. They need to train the younger girl. Came back in after my pedicure because 1 nail wasn't dried all the way. So I asked if they could correct it quickly. Apparently the young girl didn't like that. She rushed through it quickly and when I asked if I could sit by the fan to let it dry, she said "NO I want to go home" Lmao okay. I already tipped you and paid for a service. I wanna go home too lady. She THEN locked me inside the store and I had to wait for a boy to let me out. Never again haha wtf. I'll just go to Fresh Pond Rd where they're a lot cheaper AND treat you like a queen! read more

Very sloppy wax residue left on my legs. Definitely won't be getting waxed at this nail salon anymore. I've never had this at any other place I've gotten my legs waxed - they always clean you up with oil afterwards. all she did was throw baby powder on me and send me on my way. I didn't feel the stickiness till after the baby powder had worn off. read more

I found this salon on Google, and urgently needed to get my nails done. I called the night before to make an appointment and the lady on the line was very respectful and booked an appointment for me. Keep in mind this is a few days before Christmas, so I wasn't sure if there would be any availability. When I got there, I showed an inspo picture and they nailed it! They were very clean and efficient. Clients are seated in every other chair, and there are plastic coverings between everyone. The whole process did not take long in comparison to other salons that I have been to. I was very pleased with my results and would definitely go again! Price was a bit higher but definitely worth it!! read more

Friendly local nail salon. Can get busy at times so I'd suggest making an appointment. My SNS lasts a good 2 weeks, done by Kelly. Gel pedicure lasts a month or more. My go to salon! read more

I really really wanted to like this place. Maybe I just didn't have luck this time? Maybe I'll get a better nail tech next time I come? My pedicure took 10 minutes. The woman rushed through the entire pedicure. She was moving so quickly when she went to close the nail polish bottle that the liquid nail polish popped out and hit her in the eye. This is not a joke. I am being serious. It took her longer to get the nail polish off her face than it took her to do my entire pedicure. I'm tipping her because I feel sorry that she got nail polish in her eye. By far the worst pedicure experience. read more

I would give them 0 stars if I could. They finally open back up and they're definitely taking more than they can handle. They are NOT taking appointments either, just telling everyone who calls to "come in" meanwhile she can't even handle the customers she currently has. Had a customer come back in an hour, then had her sitting in the pedicure chair for an hour just to do a shitty hack job on her feet and hands. Oh and I was also cut while getting my manicure because she seems to love to rush her job, 20 minutes later, she also cut another customer!!! Will definitely NOT be coming back! read more

This was the quickest but most effective SNS manicure I've ever gotten!! I was worried they wouldn't take me considering how busy it was on a Tuesday night at 6 PM. But my nail technician was very nice, straight to the point ;firm but gentle and knew exactly what she was doing. Will be back in 2 weeks for another set. read more

$80 for eyelash extension and they are absolutely gorgeous and they last. Although they had another customer come in and had me waiting for like 15-20 minutes. My eyelash came out perfect and I definitely will be back. Expensive eyelash extensions but definitely worth the money, rather than paying the same thing and having them fall out quickly. read more

Best nail salon in Glendale !! Service is always amazing !! Staff is friendly ...SNS gel powder last 2-3 weeks

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this place. They use disposable nail files, buffers and pads for your heels which is very rare. I did indulge in one of the spa pedicures and the 10 minute massage that the gentleman gave me was just amazing. Didn't feel rushed or hurried at any point which was really nice as well. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Today, me and my daughter got our nails done there. We got regular nail polish, no gel nails or anything. We got manicures and pedicures and I would not say they where amazing. The lady that did my pedicure made it super messy. There is still nail polish on my cuticle. My manicure is okay, but there are air bubbles on my nails. However, my daughter's story is way worse. The pedicure process is not great at all. The look of it from far away would make you want to go to the salon right away, but your opinion will change from the up close look right away. There are WAY too many coats of polish on! I got back home about half an hour ago, and my daughter's nails still are not dry! (Manicure wise) My daughter also has air bubbles in her manicure. Also, when she was getting her pedicure, (she didn't feel it until now) the lady that was doing it, she scratched off some of her skin! Main problems: WAY to many coats, messy,scratched off skin! The massage chairs where great though. This whole thing with my daughter might be because the lady that did it just started working there. I haven't seen her there. read more

I wanted to try someplace new and drove by Rainbow Nail and Spa and decided to stop. I brought my own clippers, cuticle remover, file and stone to find out everyone get a disposable thin stone, nail file and small buff for their feet. The chairs are comfy and massager works. The owner did my gel color and I used 5 different colors see photo posted. She wasn't frustrated and was pleasant . This will be my new nail place. Love it. read more

The woman who did my gel powder nails did an amazing job, all for only $35 (great deal)!! Cut my cuticles perfectly and was able to find a 3D nail flower that I loved. She took her time to perfect my nails. Only down side is that the nail file she used wasn't brand new. Other than that, great service and a variety of gel powder nail colors to choose from. I was taken care of quickly and there were a lot of people for a Sunday afternoon. Would recommend this place 100%. Parking is also easy to find around the neighborhood. read more

This place is best for pedicures and basic manicures. They are very thorough with their hygiene. They do the best pedicuresHowever do not come here for acrylics or gel powder. They make your nails uneven and chunky. Try your best to avoid having the owner do your nails. Though she is sweet she never fully pays attention to your nails cause she's busy with a lot of other things at the salon. She is rough and never thorough and is almost always on her phone. The last time I came for acrylics, I asked for them to be rounded and all of my nails were going in different directions, I had to go to another salon to have them fixed. read more

Let me start off by saying I do not like to leave negative reviews especially because I'm in the businesses and understand sometimes things are out of the staff / owners control ... but this was by far the worst experience / first impression I have EVER had . 1. The took us right away for our pedicures which was great ! However the pedicure took a total off 7 minutes from start to finish ( now if you are running behind with the manicures it would be smart to milk the pedicures so your customers don't even realize things are behind and will take longer then expected . ) thus bringing me to my next point 2. After mine and my cousins 7 minute pedicure we are seated at our designated stations where we are unattended for about 45-60 minutes for me and about 30 for her ( only because they came to soak her nails ) they were running behind because instead of telling people there would be a wait or nothing was available at the time they decided to continue to tAke walk ins as well as triple book 5 o'clock appointments knowing they only had 3 people doing nails . After a few minutes soaking a gentlemen starts to buff off her previous sns decides it wasn't coming off enough then leaves and starts a brand new client not saying a word .. while I'm still waiting to be acknowledged. When finally asked how long she the owner told me i would be after the lady who just started her nails . Obviously I was annoyed because now I'm waiting 45 minutes and have to wait until the girl finishes her just started nails ( I would have walked out but my cousin was literally in the middle of half peeled soaking nails ) 3. Finally I am seen the girl is super sweet did a great job no complains there . We go to leave and I am charged 70 dollars ??? When I ask why if a fill is 30 and a pedicure is 15 would I be charged 70 ? She said it was because I did mood changing polish !!!! So 25 dollars was added to my bill without being told about it for a nail polish that changes in the cold weather ? I've never in my life I would never recommend this place . This place is an outrage and a rip off . Absolutely disgusted with how they run business read more

This place has potential but they ruin it by taking in so many costumers at once and disregarding appointments. I do like my SNS and I've gone a few times in a row now but I really don't feel like they're clean. When you soak your SNS, the acetone should be clear! They reuse acetone. I got a pink acetone today of course I refused it and the poor girl next to me was given brown acetone! This was used and saved from previous customers. When you have a business, you absolutely should not reuse anything to save a few bucks! This is a health code violation and should be taken seriously. read more

They are sooo lazy here and don't care about giving you a good or even decent experience. They're just money hungry and want to get as many people in as possible in a day. I called to make an appointment which was COMPLETELY disregarded. Wasn't seen til an hour later. I had to ask to sit and soak my SNS off and they neglected me completely even though I asked the owner to herself take a second to check on my nails or have someone else do it. Was disgusted at the service I received. My nails were such a mess and my hands as well as the goopy mess from the soaked off SNS got all over since I was soaking without anyone wiping my nails down with paper towels as they're supposed to. When they finally got around to doing my nails, the guy doing them did not care to get my nails in any kind of decent shape before dipping them in the new color. They're so messed up underneath. They literally do not care about your nail health at all. He neglected my cuticles and I had to ask him to cut them and he gave me so much attitude. There was leftover red from the previous color I had all around my nails on the bottoms lol. They seriously DONT CARE. OH and my nail got messed up instantly Bc he told me he was wrong about my cuticles being undone and to go wash my hands. Then a nail got messed up and they had to fix it which was just so annoying for him since he was already busy doing someone's nails after telling me to wash my hands! So within seconds. Don't support them. There are other places who actually care about how they do your nails and how they treat you and honor appointments. I'm going to start going to Anastasia because I know David over there, the old owner when it was Aroma Nails, is serious about appointments and making sure his clients have healthy nails. And now they have $17 mani pedi special monday and Tuesday! read more
