    Regular manicure with a buff. $20 manicure $5 buff
    Patrice I.

    The only reason it's 4 stars is because I think the shop in general could use some TLC. A good cleaning would do wonders. They do use pedicure tub liners, and their instruments are sanitized.. so they are hygienic. But appearance wise, it's a bit dated, and there is acrylic dust everywhere. BUT the manicure itself was great. I don't know his name, unfortunately, (I should have asked) but he did a really nice job. He listened to what I wanted and was very gentle. He paid attention to detail and really looked over my nails extensively. And asked if I liked them so far several times. They use warm lotion and towels, which is really soothing. I don't live in the area but am here often, so if it happens that I'm in need of a manicure and here in town...I'd come here again.

    Been to Rainbow nails a few times and loved it each time! Definitely found my new spot. I've had a few different techs and they each pay great attention to quality and are very open and communicative around style/look which is important and can sometimes be hard to come by. Thanks rainbow nail team!

    I started going here about a year ago on a recommendation from my friend and it's next to my hair salon. They have 5 pedicure massage chairs and 3 nail stations. The same 4 people are always working and I would make an appointment and they stay on schedule with the appointments too!! Tina always does my pedicure and does a great job. She can deal with my funky toenail that I smashed years ago and an ingrown nail. The polish looks great and stays a long time! It's not your fancy nail salon but I have made it my go-to nail salon. They are closed Sunday's. I would park in the CVS parking lot, but they also have 75 minute parking on the street.

    I walked in today with no appointment and they took me in right away for dip powder & pedi!! Love my nails so much !!

    pedicure white gel

    I was looking for a salon in SB, this one had great reviews and it lived up to my expectations! The worker was really nice as she did the pedicure and asked me throughout my time if I was enjoying it. The massage chair was relaxing, overall best experience I've had so far and it had good pricing! Highly recommend :)

    Gel polish change

    My girlfriend recommended this place to me and I'm so happy I finally made it! I just got a simple polish change (gel on my hands, regular on my feet) but the precision and attention to detail on everything was amazing! I'm super pleased and look forward to coming back . Highly recommend!

    I don't recommend this salon if you have a style you like. They will say they know how to do a service but they can't. If this business was honest I'd be kinder. Customers don't like being told what we like or don't after expectations aren't met.

    Never looked so good! :)

    Tim definitely outdid himself!!! Never cheat on your nails techs!!! Definitely 100% recommend Tim!!!! :)

    Found my new nail place! I came in for a fill and Tim killed it. He was super gentle with my nails and shaped them perfectly. Very affordable ($24 for regular fill + a nail fix). I liked that he didn't rush. I don't mind waiting on getting my nails done if someone is before me. I'd like the same type of service too and Tim delivered on that. They also know the names of everyone who walks in, love that. I'll be back for my next fill!

    French tip gel

    Lin did an amazing job with my gel French. She was detailed and obviously knew what she was doing. I always get gel French at different salons and this is a location I will mark for future visits.

    patience is key coming here because they are always busy but they get my nails done! Always very…read morehappy with their work and all kind nail techs! :)

    I encountered lots of issues, but the biggest of which was at the end of the appointment when I put…read moremy hand in my pocket to get my wallet, one of the nails, halfway completely smudged off, even with a topcoat and lots of time to dry. The technician immediately offered to fix it and at the end of that repair she would not let me touch my own wallet and took my debit card from me to put it back in my wallet and even took my phone for a moment. She clearly did not want me rubbing my polish against anything which makes sense but I don't need help with that and it felt intrusive. I spent twice as long, making sure that one nail was dried after repair, and when I got back to the car and reached in my pocket to get out my keys, that nail got smudged off again. This only happened on the one nail, which is very strange. I've had many manicures and have never encountered this. I also asked for a dark purple color with no sparkle, and they kept bringing me light blues with sparkle, and trying to convince me to change my mind about the color that I wanted (which I don't understand their reasoning for this at all, and why it matters to them) and would not let me simply walk over to the polish wall to pick my own color. When my nail technician finally brought over a couple of dark purples, a secondary nail technician came over & started to have a conversation about the two polishes and whether they looked similar or not. This was all after I had very obviously quickly chosen a color. During the appointment, that second nail technician kept coming over and staring at my hands which was uncomfortable. Finally, when choosing the tip amount during payment, the receptionist brought the card reader over (rather than waiting for me to walk to the register) and put the screen directly in front of the technician and myself, and the technician was staring at the screen, watching what my tip selection was.
