Rainbow Nail Salon

Really great and detailed job. The price is really good and the technician did a really thorough job and it’s better quality than most I’ve gotten in the city. Def recommend!

Pretty serviceable salon. My SIL and I were wandering down Broadway looking for a place that didn’t have a wait on a Friday afternoon to get our nails done. We popped in here after stopping at 3 other salons. They had availability, so we stopped to get mani/​pedis. I wasn’t wowed, but the nail tech did a good job on my manicure/​pedicure. The price was super cheap $ 17, with no spa services that I am used to in Denver. However, I wasn’t looking for the spa experience for this particular visit.
The selection of nail polishes was extensive, but not many high-​quality nail polish brands, such as OPI, essie, etc. This salon does acrylic nails, as well as gel manicures (that they really like to push for those with natural nails). They also have free nail designs, which they didn’t mention. I wish I’d known beforehand, as I assumed it was for acrylic nails, since my SIL got a cute design on her hand and foot.
I suggested this shop to my SO to get a manicure/​pedicure, since his hands and feet needed some love. They charged him an extra $ 3, but after seeing his feet, I know they worked hard for him. LOL I love NY prices for mani/​pedis!

I have been trying to grow healthy strong nails for the past four to five years. No matter what vitamins or supplements I take, no matter how much I avoid having my hands in water, no matter how many nail hardeners I use, nothing seems to work. My nails are still soft and peel. So, I’m back to the world of fake nails… and I love it!
Today was my pampering day. I did my hair, eyebrows, waxing, and manicure and pedicure. After getting my eyebrows threaded and my waxing done, I decided to take a short stroll on Broadway to see what was around. For the past few weeks I have been shopping for a six drawer dresser and found it at the small furniture store — awesome. I also stumbled across Rainbow Nail Salon looking for a good deal.
As soon as I walked in I was treated by an eager Chinese woman who tried to guess what services I wanted. At first I was just going to get the usual manicure and pedicure combo ($ 15!). However, half way through my pedicure– which was great, I decided to get what I have been wanting for a while (beautiful long manicured nails). My technician, Amy, was very good at her job. I have not gotten acrylic nails in a long time and almost forgot what the process entails. Amy worked super fast and efficient — great combo to avoid inhaling the fumes lol. She shaped my nails round and pointy like I asked and applied the bright yellow polish and turquoise for my ring finger (will upload local photo).
My acrylic manicure and regular pedicure came up to $ 25. Wtf!!! Super cheap! Love, love, love this place.
Anyway I was thoroughly pleased with my experience. This will be my go to place for nails — especially on Mondays when Charming Nail and Simply Polished are closed.
PS everything seemed well sanitized and the women there seem very nice. They also have a reward card– after 5 visits you get $ 5 off your next visit! Oh, and bring your own polish, they don’t carry many options of the popular brands such as Essie, OPI, or Zoya.
