Five Color Nail Salon

Love love love this place Shirley is very kind understanding woman and great with nails.

Walk in. It’s a little run down but it’s a cheap place to get nails done so whatever. Told no wait. Sitting in a chair waiting five minutes which is till no big deal. But then the girl next to me screams. There’s a cockroach that just crawled on her in her chair. Safe to say I’ll find a new cheap place

I came in one day at 530 waiting with my mother for 2 full sets and 2 pedicures so the boss lady said I have one more person then I will take you so I said okay no problem but until then I would take any other worker so then I notice the other girls was taking new people and making me wait so I ask what’s going on I was here first so the boss Shirly said «they don’t like you» so I was like okay whatever I’ll wait so I’m sitting in the pedicure chair and the worker takes plastic off another girls feet with skin in it and places it on my feet lucky I had shoes on so when I took it off and ask why did you do this she was just laughing and saying «I don’t know «witch is crazy so now it’s 8pm I’m still waiting to be served Shirly takes 3 other people after that I’m still waiting now it’s my turn I show her a photo of nails I want she gave me complete different nails and she told me she personally don’t do pedicure so I waited all that time for half of service and when it came down to do my moms nails she said «I’m very tired «witch is really crazy because it’s not our fault she is tired she needs to do her job so from walking in at 530 to walking out at 10pm! plus the store is gross and very dirty do not go here

This place is very reasonable with there prices and great service. Shirley did my eyebrows they came out perfect, mike her husband did my nails great job

This place is pretty cheap compared to their next door neighbor. They do a pretty decent job and I got a lot of compliments on my tips. I would come here again.

I went here for an eyebrow waxing this morning. I must say, the entire staff was happy, all smiles, hospitable.
I felt that she did a good job with my brows. Not as much tweezing afterwards, and in the end it was very different than most places. She asked me to sit up to tweeze.
The air quality seemed really nice, and the prices were affordable.
One complaint I have is that the employees should ask if you want oil (skin is very sensitive) when I told her (too late I should have said something before) she was very nice, and used alcohol to remove (BOY DID THAT BURN). Nonetheless, she was kind. I think this is a tip for most nail salons.

Went today for simple gel manicure and was extremely disappointed. They soaked my hands in diluted acetone, took 30 to soak off two coats of polish. Then my nail technician did not pay attention to detail. All of my nails were cut to different lengths and shapes. When politely asked to fix the shape, one nail was filed and was not shaped round at all. After this attempt I decided to quit while I was ahead. She painted not only my nails but also my fingers and the top coat does not cover the whole nail. Not worth my time or aggravation, not to mention money. Do yourself a favor and go next door, it’s worth the wait, you will be much more satisfied with your nails.

Horrible
I happened upon this place by mistake. The woman who provided the pedicure was extremely rough and appeared to be very angry. I have had much better pedicures elsewhere. They charged an extra $ 5 for callous removal which is routinely included as part of a pedicure at other establishments. It is an awkward setup and not the cleanliest. There are much better option in the Slope.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how nicely my bargain priced $ 12.50 pedicure (done in a sparkly crimson OPI shade called «Red Fingers and Mistletoes,» part of the au courant 2014 Gwen Stefani holiday collection) came out and held up. This no-​frills salon gets the job done, quickly and well.

I give one star because the woman who took care of me was extremely nice and thoughtful. She was always smiling and being sure I was okay.
I went there to do a bikini wax.
The place was busy and they took me right away.
Pricing was average, $ 25 (just front).
She started the waxing and I told that I did not want full Brazilian.
Note that I have been waxing since I am 14 and 15 years later I am sure I had my experiences.
This was the worst. I don’t think she had any idea of what she was doing rather than apply wax and pull.
She used very small strips so it too forever. Therefore, more pain. By the time I looked down, there was barely anything left.
It was so painful, that I told her I was fine (even bough I coul clearly see lots of hair still there). She wanted to pull those with a tweezer! Ouch, in that sensitive area. A couple are fine but not a lot. That’s why I wax!
She pulled the wax without holding the skin so pretty much it ripped my skin out.
I felt when walking out that I should I to the Indian ladies next door (whom I usually I) to finish the job but my skin was overly sensitive. Just wanted to give a try to a new place but no!!!
Do not recommend for waxing unless you love torture.
Sorry lovey lady but you need to take a class on it!

I came to this «nail salon» as I was able to get a parking spot on the street by it. I have been to other salons in the area and expected a nice experience. I asked how much the Mani/​Pedi combo was and they said $ 18. So I sat down and the lady began my Pedi. I just got back from camping and hiking in the PNW for a few months and really needed a good Pedicure. The lady kept asking me if I wanted a special scrub or callous remover, etc for more $. I said it was not necessary as from my past experience, they bring out the «shaver» device and that usually takes the rough skin off. Well, she decided that since she was not going to get any more money out of me should would just totally SKIP the callous removing aspect altogether! She washed my feet, and that was it. I could not believe it! I have been going to get Pedicures for years and never was this done to me! AND trying to charge me more for what is supposed to be part of the procedure! It’s like saying «if you want nail polish, I will have to charge you extra». Anyway, I was sure this was not kosher so I asked her to stop… I wanted to speak to the manager or owner. To make a long story short, the «manager» was not helpful at all… and called the police because I was not happy with the way this was going. THE POLICE! I told her look, I will pay you for what she did so far, (which was cut cuticle and file, and foot wash) $ 6. I gave it to her and left feeling horrible. Sad, angry, ripped off. I WOULD NEVER EVER GO TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE AGAIN. There are good places out there where you are not treated like shit. Avoid this place like the plague!

I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, from mani pedis now to the best silk wraps. Lisa is my fav with pedis, she just has a great touch & I only let Shirley or Michael do my wraps EVEN THOUGH everyone else is still really good. Oh and Shirley & Lisa do the best waxing ! I’m here every two weeks for over 10 years now. I will never go anywhere else !

This place is rough around the edges but I have to say one of the mani’s I have had. Cheap and fast. Nice ladies with not great English who move fast and I have no idea how this is possible but the nail polish lasts forever. Like 2 weeks sometimes. I don’t do tips but most people here are getting them, they do great designs and are cheap! I love it here not fancy but great.

I’ve been here many times, and all I have to say is that this nail salon is fabulous. The staff here is so friendly and welcoming! On top of that, the quality is GREAT for such a good price too! My nails always last a long time without chipping. After coming here for so long, I don’t see myself ever going to another nail salon.

I’ve been going here since I was a little girl and the owners have become like family. Though this is your typical nail salon, I do feel a sense of warmth from the friendly staff.
I used to be an acrylic wearer but since switching to color gel, my life has changed. If you’re interested, use Michael. He’s the best. The color gel manicures last up to 3 weeks without chipping!
I gave this review only 4 stars since the salon could be a little more spacious.

UPDATE: I moved out of borough and I still return here for my waxing.
AWESOME!

Last minute they took my busted beach feet and renewed them for my week of festivities. Only $ 11 will get you a basic pedicure in the bubbles but my feet needed an additional $ 2 ‘scraping’ and $ 5 callus remover so it ended up being $ 19. Now there isn’t a sign of beach on these puppies!
Cash only so be prepared. I barely had enough to tip my awesome nail technician. So going back to give her more cuz it was worth it!
They were also taking customers at 8pm (their closing time) so if you rush in you’ll get serviced.

Cheap $ 6 dollar manicure done in an old school nail salon specializing in those fake nails. They do have a decent selection OPI shades, my personal fave. Why write about this South Slope spot? Their manicures last nearly a week. Don’t know why, but they do.
