About Colorful Nails
On Washtenaw Ave in Ypsilanti, Colorful Nails is a nail salon offering walk-in manicure and pedicure services. Shellac options are available for both hands and feet, and nail art or design work can be added to select nails. Pedicures accommodate toenail injuries or other unique foot conditions. Pricing depends on nail length and any add-on services chosen, so charges are quoted per visit rather than fixed in advance. The salon opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, skilled nail technicians draw repeat customers, with several reviewers asking specifically for one of two techs by name recognition among regulars, praised for gentle work on natural nails and custom nail designs. Diners, rather reviewers, describe staff going above and beyond, including one who treated an elderly customer with extra care. One reviewer notes new management has improved recent visits. Complaints center on inconsistent pricing, with reviewers describing being quoted different amounts by different staff for the same length, and on durability, with one reviewer reporting a shellac manicure and pedicure for two people peeling within a week despite an upcharge for the service. Another reviewer felt shortchanged after paying for a set that looked painted on rather than a full nail length. A separate visitor described being paired with a tech whose work didn't meet expectations and felt overlooked on return visits. The shop draws loyal, long-term regulars alongside these pricing and quality frustrations.
