Colorful Nails & Spa

The ladies here are hilarious! They were very friendly, helpful, professional, and they are very funny. Next time im in town, I will definitely visit again.

The girls here are professional, friendly, and very clean. I get gels I’ve never had them lift or break. Jeni does quality work and pays attention to detail. They are four sisters it’s a very comfortable environment. Lots of laughs and friendly group conversations. I tell everyone to go there. I’ve been coming here for ten years every three weeks. I won’t go anywhere else. I pay a little more, but I get quality work that last a while. Check them out. Sincerely Jenette

The best place in town to get a pedicure/​manicure. Janine who does my nails does a great job. All the girls are awesome

This place used to be really good. My mother, 2 sisters, and I used to frequent this spot and we befriended most of the women who were working here. The service used to be great, especially since it is pricier than most nail salons.
I have been meaning to write this review for a long time now, because there was a point where we were no longer treated as friends and became just more clients. This was around the time prices went up as well.
They no longer took care and our Manis and pedis no longer lasted as long, chipped quicker, and the experience dwindled. Ultimately, we were forced to stop going to Colorful because I was getting a set of gels with Janine when she was horribly rude to me. Her boyfriend was studying at one of the nail stations and I asked something about how long they had been together and her response was snappy, sarcastic, and she was quite annoyed with me. We never went back because the rest of my appointment was awkward and I felt she could have handled it a lot better if I offended her somehow.

My girlfriends and I were on our way to San Diego this weekend and stopped for a pit stop at a Starbucks. We looked across the street and noticed their sign so decided to call and see if they can take us. So glad we came into this nail salon. All the employee’s we’re so friendly and had a great sense of humor which is rare in most nail salons back home in Los Angeles. Now I’m sad that they are so far away. Definitely stopping by again when I’m in the area.

My sister and I were having a day out when we decided I wanted my nails redone and the closest place was this one! We walked in and were initially turned off because the first woman we talked to was cold and a bit dismissive. However we were sat with Janine and she was wonderful! I had never met a manicurist so kind and lovely. She talked to both of us and made us feel welcome. Not to mention it was the best manicure I’d ever received! So 5 stars is owed to Janine and Janine only!

I don’t know what anyone is talking about, these ladies are great! My mom and I have been going to them for over 10 years and I’ve always found that they do a better job than any other salon around! I like to get colorful nails with designs and Kelly always accommodates my needs and comes up with new stuff for me! Too these ladies are funny, never a boring time going to their salon! Once you become a regular customer you will feel right at home in this salon, trust me!

This was my first time here, and I am kinda torn a little bit. When I first walked in I was told it would be about 50 minuets (that’s okay I went to have lunch) and I already had a style in mind. They had a limited selection (that’s okay I again had something in mind) and picked out two colors. I had wanted candy cane swirls, like slanted stripes and when I had asked for it, it had gotten lost in translation I am pretty sure. The lady assumed I had said just actual candy cane stencils (it’s March) and actually began making fun of me apparently to her sister. I had saw some other design I wanted and changed my mind out of a little pressure followed by her sister telling me the candy cane was stupid. I just wanted horizontal swirls… not to be ridiculed for a design that wasn’t understood. Though she was very gentle and relaxing, but I didn’t come out with the cut or design I wanted for 40 $ and ended up literally using nail polish Remover a few hours ago and just painting my nails black. Nail Lounge 101 seems to be my permanent go to place I guess. I live in Carlsbad but it’s worth the 15 minuet drive, they do it well and I got more than what I wanted the first time around and didn’t feel so… resented :(

Horrible. I’m never coming here, worst customer service. I walked in to get a basic manicure after calling their number, walked right in to an almost empty salon for them to tell me I probably called the wrong number and then tell me it would be 45 minutes for someone to help me when whoever on the phone told me ten to fifteen.
It was just absurd since I saw three open ladies and only one girl inside besides myself getting her toes done.
Awful– plus I guess they get people calling the wrong number, a lot. Not good.

Great little place right by the beach. I’ve seen three different manicurists there and they’ve all done a great job, been very friendly and been pretty speedy at it too. Nice clean peaceful place, TV to watch, good collection of nail colors. A little pricier than some, so you do pay for it, but I think it’s worth it for such a good job. (Acrylic fill is $ 30.)

I LOVE Colorful Nails. It is the only place I go to for my pedicures. The staff is always friendly and helpful and each does a great pedicure that lasts AT LEAST 3 to 4 weeks without any chipping. I brought my mother when she visiting and she said BEST pedicure she has ever had!

For a little over a month now, I’ve been on a quest to find a new nail salon to frequent. This is not that salon.
I made an appointment for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, and they sat me on time, but that was the only positive. They have a very limited gel selection, featuring really only reds, pinks, and shades in between. The girl never introduced herself, so I didn’t get her name. She was nice enough, but she did a sloppy job on my hands. When she was removing my old gel, the scraps were flying everywhere because she was scraping very fast and hard. The finger bowl was full of cold water, so it hurt my hands after minute or so, and I had to take my fingers out. No cuticle oil before cutting them. Lack-​luster massage.
The salon is small, but still noisy because the girls were yelling and talking across the room to each other. I ended up skipping the pedicure because I wasn’t very impressed.
The worst part was the price. $ 33 for a plain gel manicure. For that price I would expect higher quality of service and work. I used to pay $ 26 at a place in Oceanside that was amazing, so they definitely overcharge here.
All-​in-​all, a really disappointing salon for having such prime positioning in Carlsbad.

I have been going here with my daughter for years. It is a great place, the sisters that run it are funny and sweet. I love to treat myself to a pedi, sit in their wonderful massage chairs and unwind.

Awesome prices & the ladies are so hilarious. My sister & I will definitely be back! They did amazing jobs too. Totally recommend this place to anyone.

Walked into the salon and they were busy. They gave me an appt for later that day and it was a great pedicure! The women working there were very nice and seemed to know all their customers by name. The pedicure was professionally done with clean equipment and a nice leg massage. The staff was very competent. I would highly recommend this place.

Loved this pedi! I’ll be back! Great ladies! Fun and great prices! My friend and I were just strolling around the village and heard laughing and fun coming from inside and they had time for us! Great experience! Go here!

I sure hope you are reading this you are the most obnoxious spoiled little brat I’ve ever seen in my life I was in the man in the chair when you started throwing a fit about your girlfriend not getting the chair I was with my 16-​year-​old daughter who could not believe it either and almost told you to blank blank blank… She has much more class than that which is something you must not of learned from your parents.
These are the hardest working girls And they just want to do a good job and make their customers happy my wife and I and daughters have been coming in here for years and have never had a bad experience and we will continue to keep coming, I highly recommend this place beautiful atmosphere lovely ladies who do a great job.

I rarely give reviews that are not 5 stars, but I could not just sit back on this experience. My friend and I had an appointment for two pedicures and my friend wanted to get a polish change for her hands. Sure the actual pedicure I got was fine, nothing special. Massage was just okay. My Friends gel polish (just to get the polish on, no manicure) was $ 30 and they couldn’t do it while she was getting her pedicure. I sat down for my pedi and they did my friends polish change first. When the chair next to me opened, I assumed they would leave it vacant for my friend to come over. But instead of placing another customer in the chair on the end, they sat her next to me. When I asked the lady if she could leave it open she got so defensive and after a few minutes of me trying to explain that she could place the other customer in the other open seat and the owner arguing with me, I just dropped it. She also blamed my friends getting a polish change on her not getting to sit next to me. And she told us we have to specify when we made the appointment that we wanted to sit by each other. My friend was so offended by how rude I was treated that she didn’t get a pedicure. The least she could have done was apologize for the misunderstanding. I would never give them my business again.

This place is amazing ! I was in the area and walked in randomly to get a fill. I was shocked almost a month went by and my nails didn’t chip or break ! I drive all the way from escondido now to get my nails done here ! Def worth every dollar !

Love the early hours on Saturday at 9am. They reverted renovated and the salon looks more spacious, clean and open. I love the big comfy massage chairs for the pedicure station and the array of polishes are plentiful. Ask fur the extra sea salt scrub for $ 5 it’s worth it your feet feel like butter after!
Mani and Pedi for $ 35 and they also have a waxing room. The girls are always friendly and quick and can fit u in even when u don’t have an apt.
