2025-10-03Valerie did an amazing job with my gel French tip manicure/pedicure. This photo was taken after our wedding day, and impressively my manicure still looked great 2+ weeks later. She was also super nice and fun to chat with! Overall, I had a great experience.

2025-06-13Got a very nice pedicure today, but was a little weirded out by the dawn dish soap they used. I read below their reasonings, so I can respect that, just not my cup of tea. But overall was nice. My nails were ok, my tech was very nice, but the manicure was meh- my nails are short and damaged so I understand this can make for a hard gel manicure but figured I’d share.

2025-07-07I have visited Colorful Nails 3 times and I will continue coming back! My gel nails were painted perfectly for the first 2 visits. My 3rd visit, I had an issue with peeling and they called me back and resolved the issue immediately! I was given a same day appointment and my nails were redone with no peeling noticed now after 4 days. Great customer service!!!

2024-11-25I had a great experience at Colorful Nails. I called ahead of time to ask if they had the chrome powder that I wanted to use for this design. I ended up speaking with the owner and he had me send over the design that I wanted. He sent me color samples and had my technician create mock up nails ahead of time. This was above and beyond. My nail technician, Alicia, did exactly what I wanted. Everyone in the salon was friendly. Very clean and organized. Will definitely go back!

2024-12-14My daughter received a gift certificate to this salon for her birthday, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The nail technician (I believe her name was Francesca) was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. She was so patient with my daughter and did an amazing job on her nails! I highly recommend both Francesca and this salon.
