Extremely disappointed Color Nails (Prestige Nails).   I could bore you with the details, but instead will give you key points:1.  The owners do sub-par work (lifting, peeling, Very mediocre shaping of new sets, etc.)2.  They are the type of people that will try to blame their mistake on you (e.g. their chemicals turned my nail beds yellow during the new set process and the guy tried to tell me that my nails were already stained - ultimate gaslight!  Finally acknowledged it was a chemical he used).3.  Some Workers will acknowledge what you say as if they understand you, but they haven't a clue what you are saying (not a problem if they make it right).   In my case, I had to push to get them to do the job I asked them if they could do).   Errrggh4.  Inexperienced workers (are they really licensed??) - had to keep handing the girl the cutters and said "please cut inside" so she'd get ingrown nails.  She did not know how to do it.   I finally gave up.5.  There is more, but this is enough to communicate the bigger issues.They also come up in Google as PRESTIGE NAILS.When I find a fabulous salon I'll post a great review!

Just got home from a pedicure and the nail technician must have cut my heel in the process.  She never mentioned anything during my pedicure but it had to have happened pretty early on considering it's unlikely she could have done it any other time than with the pumice stone.  She continued to have me put my foot in and out of the water.  Fingers crossed I don't end up with an infection from putting an open wound in the notoriously unsanitary pedicure baths.  There is no way she couldn't have noticed as there is quite a bit of blood, enough that it soaked through the bottom of my jeans when she rolled them back down.

Came in for a French tip pedicure while I was in the area. My pedicure started off with cold water, which the nail tech changed to scalding hot 2 minutes later. Sounded like there was a family of live crickets in the place. Nail tech seemed very new, but polite. Did a fine job overall, had to point out that the tips were too thick and not straight a few times. Was in and out in an hour. Nothing spectacular, but not horrible. I'd come back if I'm in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. Read Less

I have been here twice since I had a gift card here. First experience was awful. I had acrylics which needed to be removed. The lady started taking off my nails aggressively like she was in a rush. Then he split two of my nails IN HALF & I was bleeding. All she had to say was "sorry". Then she continued my nails with gel & I was in pain. Once she finished my nails, her appointment was ready so she was rushing with my nails & not taking her time. Second time I come in since I still have money on my gift card, I get my toes done & everything is fine. We complain about my incident the first time & all they can say is "sorry". These people don't care about you so don't come here!! Read Less

I don't normally write reviews and ruin places reputation , and hey I thought I'll give this place a try . I regretted it ! Got a mani and was really disappointed not only were they done fast and whatever quality came with it but they ended up forming air bubbles on my nails . Which I have never in my life seen happen and during the whole process I knew we were headed a wrong direction when she wasn't even done yet and wanted me to pay . Yes, pay before she was done ?! Also went back to get them fixed because I spent money to have it look like crap ! To only hear from the manager " oh we've never had that happen"  And remarks like "you sure that was her ?" I would never just make a story make the girl feel terrible and tell her manager what she did wrong just for a fucken free mani . She made me feel like I was lying and just completely uncomfortable and of course the whole time she speaks in her language saying I don't know what and every one just stating at me . Definitely not a good experience nor will I ever be back .  Coming from a high customer service job and to see people be treated this way is unacceptable . Read Less

I came here with an appointment for the first time and man was I disappointed! I came in saying I had an appointment and I still had to wait 20-25 minutes. That's fine since I'm not a brat, but the service just made the whole experience that much worse. I felt like the nail tech was rushing, rough, and rude. I also got gel on my nails and I kid you not it all peeled off after 3 days. Yes 3 days! Again no exaggeration. I don't normally post reviews but I feel like I completely wasted my money and don't want anyone else to do the same. Read Less

This 5* review is for Betty only!!  I have been going to her for years now and would go no where else.  These days with so many different styles of nails...squared, pointy, squoval...she gives you what you ask for, not just what she is capable of doing.  We have great conversation, she's a great lady!  My mani/pedis last for weeks, I typically go at least 3 weeks, I'm currently getting the "shellac" nails and I am extremely happy with them.  The only bad thing I have to say is that sometimes the manager books the apptmts and doesn't allow her enough time, she is a perfectionist but she takes the normal amount of time, I think he just really pushes the girls to get as many done as quickly as possible, don't worry, once Betty starts, she's not going to rush.  Her days off are on Thurs/Sun.

Got acrylics on for the first time in a long time, and wow, I know I'm a noob but I also know it's not supposed to hurt that badly. He cut off cuticle that wasn't dead, not just once on accident but on FOUR of my fingers. Kept a cotton ball in his had to wipe up the blood quickly. Like, and it couldn't have even been on accident? On my ring finger (right side), when he went to cut the cuticle, there was a lot of resistance. Instead of stopping, he FORCED through it and cut my skin. Now I'm left with bad nails and painful showers. Won't be coming back for a manicure. The pedis are nice though. Read Less
