Color Nails & Skincare

Love this place. The people are very friendly. They do a very good job at a pretty good price. A full set was $ 22 for medium length and no design. The nails last a very long time too which I appreciate. I’ve paid the same price somewhere else and the nails only lasted 2 weeks. But these last forever. I usually take them off after 3 weeks but they could easily last longer.

I am giving this place a 3 star. I’ll start with the positive. They were super accommodating to me and I really liked my nail technician, she was soft spoken and very nice. The ambience was relaxing. I didn’t have to listen to a bunch of chatty nail technicians talking to each other super loud. When I walked in they were not busy so they sat me right away. They had plenty of nail color to choose from. The whole pedicure was great. My technician took extra time to massage and go through all the steps. Something I appreciate since I’ve been to others who don’t do any of it.
The reason they will not get my 5 star review is because of cleanliness. The place is disorganized, dusty hanging lights, and I swear they reuse the emery boards. They probably received a citation for cleanliness cause they use disposable bags to line the foot baths, which I found to be positive. I was turned off by the lack of customer service after two ladies walked in and were greeted haphazardly. They sat for a few minutes then left. I wouldn’t have even sat down if I were them. They should have been asked what they wanted, then told how long their wait would be. I felt like this was super unprofessional and rude. I wouldn’t have wanted to be them.
All and all it was an ok experience I will give them a second chance because I felt relaxed but I will find out if they reuse the tools with out sanitation, emery board, and scrubbers before going again. Fungus among us!!!

This nail salon is so rad! After going to Andy Nail spa by Silver & Mission, I decided to give this shop a go cuz Andy’s gets pretty full (They’ve a name & some folks wait 5 hours to get their nails done). Also the new 28R route bus comes here easily after SFSU. Anyhow, I went to Color nails to shorten my fake set (acrylic) of nails due to typing up for pre-​law classes & filling out online summer job apps. I went in & the owner (lady wearing glasses with high pitched voice) knew instantly that my Andy’s set was just a week old. She, like myself, saw that the nail tech at Andy did a mediocre job on the painting & finish & said it was done too thick. Anyhow, she understood my need for a trim. Additionally when she waxed my underarms she knew that I ruined them with a razor & I just met the lady! Aside from knowing such details, she advised me to maintain my biotin & multivitamin intake in order to heal my split & weak nails which is so true cuz I came exactly 1 week later & sure enough my real nails beneath were growing out. Her husband treated me with respect by not rushing me despite the last client! He made sure all was well & the color was a light lavender pink which is hard to work with cuz it’s pastel. I’ma make sure to only get my nails done here even if Andy, Top Ten, Bayview & other salons are easy to reach. This couple is very honest & hardworking. Sadly this is the only salon they own & manage cuz they need to open one up near to my crib!!!

So I originally went here because I received a gift certificate, but I will never be going back. My mother went with me for a fun girls day, we both got manicures and pedicures. My mother and I both got ingrown toe nails and infections from this place. DO NOT GO THERE!!! We both had to go to the doctors to fix the problem. If you value your feet don’t put them through this.

This used to be my go to spot but after this last experience I will never be coming back. First off I was super excited to get my nails done seeing as it’s been a little while. I come into the nail shop and I’m like a kid in a candy store eager to pick out my colors. It’s finally my turn and I show the woman (who I have never seen here) been coming to this place for about 7 years the style I want which is coffin shaped. Instead she gives me stiletto which is the complete opposite of what I wanted. I make a comment about how I don’t mean to be rude but this isn’t exactly what I wanted and she assures me it’s the same thing. So I stick around and speak to Lee about fixing my nails and the woman who worked on mine shouts at me to «pay now and come back later!» (they expected me to pay for the full set I was not happy with and come back later so someone could fix them) To which I responded very calmly «look I was really nice to you about the whole thing so I don’t appreciate you speaking to me like that» she stayed quiet after and I never received an apology. So I wait about 40 mins and finally this younger gentleman says he’ll fix my nails. Honestly I was amazed that he was even able to work with the disaster I had going on but he definitely managed. Sorry guys but you have officially lost both myself and my family as customers.

SHELLAC FOR $ 23 Pedicure $ 15
I’m loyal customer for over 10yrs thanks to Jennifer.
Jennifer my go to pedicure expert. Lee is the man for shellac or a manicure. Make sure to call for appointment. There’s meter parking in front but I usually park around the block 2 hr residential area.

I used to go here once in awhile but now, NEVER AGAIN! I came in for for a mani/​pedi and I got Anna the manager to do it for me. They weren’t very welcoming. So as I was getting my pedicure they gave my big toe a cut almost right away. They tried stopping the bleeding with alcohol and antibacterial liquid. After that they continued on with the pedicure and on to my manicure. The manicure was painful and cuts on my fingertips showed up later in the day.
The cut from my toe really bothered me that day so I went to the doctor to check it out. I’m diabetic so there may have been some serious complications. The doctor took a look at my toe and she said it was infected. She said it was a good thing I came to her soon because it was in the beginning stages of of being infected.
Thanks to color nails, I had to go through excruciating pain with a nipper (basically plyers) digging into my big toe.
My doctor recommends I don’t go back and I surely won’t after this mishap.

no where in the us has prices as good as them and no one can wax better. best place, wish they had more all around the world.

love that they really know what they’re doing! the little details that they put into worki g on your hands and feet are priceless!!!

Went in a little while ago for an eyebrow wax, and it was pretty good. The older lady (I’m guessing is the owner) was really sweet and we had small talk about eyebrows. She did a great job, and I tipped her well. She said I should come back someday for a mani/​pedi, I thought why not?
EERRRR! No!
So I go in for the mani/​pedi. The guy did my manicure but did a REALLY REALLY bad job. He kept on getting the paint on my cuticles He messed up so badly on one of my fingers that after the 2 coats, he ended up getting the cotton ball and taking it all off and putting 2 coats on it again.
Then he put a BLOB of top coat, which produced a lot of bubbles on my nails.
The pedi was alright, but at some point the lady went really deep into my nail and blood almost came out (cause it got REALLY red). I have a LOT of cuticle on my pinky toe and they didn’t do a good job of cleaning it up.
I don’t know whats up with their top coats, cause my nails took FOREVERRRRRRRRR to dry! A couple days later, it looked like my toenails lost a coat.
When I got my eyebrow wax, the lady this time was pretty rude. She kept on accusing me of razoring my eyebrows. I kept on telling her that I pluck, but she just ignored me and kept on accusing me of razoring it. She applies a lot of wax so she does less plucking. But so much wax hurts your skin and it started a pimple for me. Yeah, REALLY good skin care…
Whatever. I’m never coming back

Alright, Junior Boat dance, «Lets get our nails done!»…
we walk by this place close by and it was a considerable price soo we went in they treated us nicely and we picked our color and what not… But they were not very gentle with us… and they kept oon talking and laughing in vietnamese. i felt like they were talking about me… it made me self conscious and eager to leave… i had to pay after my pedi before my mani. and for my french mani. the lady seemed to miss a couple of spots O_​O… i had no time to argue. i was in a rush to get ready… ima go test out the place next door next…
–x3 shells

I called early and they said I could come now. So I walked over and picked out a color and sat down. I got a pedi done the experience was pleasant enough, nothing out of ordinary. But when I took my feet out from under the heater, there’s big bubbles on the top coat, it was horrible and very noticeable (I had picked a deep burgundy color nail polish). She was very nice about it and took it all off and proceeded to redo all of them. I didn’t have time to set another 20 minutes waiting for my toes to dry so i said that’s fine don’t worry about it. I paid my $ 15 for the pedicure without tip. They offered to color it for me later in the day, but judging from this experience I’ll go back to Kristine @ Perfect Fingers at Stonestown Galleria for the best pedicure that lasts for weeks.

I’m a loyal customer of Color Nails. I love Teena, Lena, Kim and the rest of the ladies at this place! They’re all really nice and you can’t beat their prices. $ 42 (plus tip) for a mani-​pedi, eyebrow and bikini wax. That’s a STEAL! And they’re good at nails and waxing. I got my nails done this past weekend at a place on Polk Street called «Merry Manicures» (DON’T waste your money there!) and I ended up having to fix my nails afterwards cause they did such a bad job. Guess that’s what I get for «cheating» on Color Nails!
Ok– so there are some down sides to this place. First, it’s nothing fancy so don’t expect soft music playing and aromatherapy candles buring. Second, when they get busy you could end up waiting a really long time. I’ve learned to just deal cause again — I’m loyal to them. Lastly, the weird «thing» you just gotta get past is they line their foot spas with garbage liners between users. Good for sanitary purposes but looks really cheap. It’s definately the kind of place you go to get your stuff done (at GOOD prices) so that you can get on with the rest of your day.

i LOVE this place! the ladies are wonderful and my nails always come out fantastic. i have been going here for about 5 years. and everytime i dont take the time to drive up to the city i get mad at myself because they do such a great
nails are difficult to do when i go to other places they useurally brake or pop off cause they do them wrong.
they do excellany degsins and when i have to bring my daughter with me they do her nails also with a little design and she loves it.
they are all wonderful! the prices are reasonible and the massages are fantastic

A friend of mine had been going here for years to get her nails done & eyebrows waxed & she took me with her one day. It wasn’t busy when we got there. They greeted us kindly and asked us what we would like. We both got a set of acrylics done. They really took their time & paid alot of attention to detail. The women working there were engaged in conversation in another language but the woman doing my nails would fill me in on what they were talking about which was kind of nice because other places I’ve been it totally seems like the women are talking about you or other customers. It started to get busy but they didn’t rush which I appreciated. I inquired how much the designs were & she told me to tell her which one I wanted. I picked one out & she did it on all my nails, it was VERY cute. And the best part — I only paid $ 25 plus tip. Most of the other places I’ve been to would’ve easily charged $ 50 for the same thing. I’ll definitely be returning here.
