Pixie Salon - Albany (NY)

Maria I was a walk in, first time I came to this salon for a gel manicure. Mia prepped by base, and ryan painted my nails. Both of them are amazing and have great customer service, especially from Mia. My nails came out great. They took their time and paid attention to details. I have been to many nail salons in the area, and some of them are so much busier, BUT this place is my new gem, I will be going back for sure and definitely recommend checking it out !!!

Eydid Ali I am so taken aback by how amazing of a job these girls did. My girlfriend and I came here for the first time because we just moved here and they not only took us as a walkin but did such a fantastic job making us feel at home. The prices were so cheap and the vibes were great. We are coming back again in two weeks ! Also side note, I’m a man and this is a very welcoming place for all types of men. I didn’t get ridiculed at all :)

Linda Sharrow Barb is the best! Have been going to her for at least 30 years or more! Everyone there is very nice.

Mackenzie Weber A little hole-in-the-wall place, tidy and cozy. I had a fill and a pedicure done by a nail tech named Zhang Meng, he took his time, he was very gentle and detail oriented. The nail art is beautiful, and the pedi was nice and relaxing. It took a good hour and a half, so give yourself lots of time. But it was worth it. Highly recommended. Not sure what all the negative reviews are on about. UPDATE: been going here regularly for 2 years. All the reviews saying that the staff are rude and they hurry - yeah, sometimes they hurry if you dont make an appointment and expect to be served right away, or roll in 10 minutes before closing and ask for a full set or something, or sit down and expect a 15 minute manicure. They take their time, they get it right. And if youre polite, the staff will reflect that. I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Nails are always on point, all the nail techs are excellent, if they make a mistake with your nails theyll do them again (only happened once over dozens of times!) Never had a broken nail that wasnt my fault (acrylic will crack and chip under normal wear, but yall should know this already.) And if Koko makes a suggestion, yall better listen to her. She knows what shes talking about. She and the other nail techs have actually saved me from my own bad design or color ideas a few times - shes never steered me wrong.

Daiana Agudelo Tana is a great hairstylist. She is very thorough and does a great job. I highly recommend her.

K I went in to Rainbow Nail & Spa for the first time. After looking at the mixed reviews, i can honestly say that my personal experience was great. It’s a family atmosphere; yes it may not be your typical ‘bougie’ salon, but they had the tools they needed to do the job. I think folks should give this place a chance and be open minded with the process and if a situation occurs; mistakes happen and we cannot let it ruin our day. It’s best to work together to find a solution. I should have asked the price before i made the reservation so i had to deal with the total. I paid 43 for pedicure, and 35 for manicure. The lady did nudge for me to give a tip and i felt bad if i said no so i put in 5 bucks. She did try to sell me their other services in the beginning but i kindly declined. They’re just doing what every business does, i think it’s good to support our local nail salons. Nonetheless, nails were beautiful, and the workers were very nice. Just always make sure to prepare yourself with the price no matter where you get your nails done :)

m m An exquisite experience and I have never felt more trusting of a talented team. The haircut was beyond my high expectations, the salon really understand its niche and clientele. I am so grateful to have now found a great stylist in Albany area, so many come and go and this placed has remained to stay unwavered. Lovely skillful hairstylists that are worth everything to put your faith in trusting hands. My hair is perfect now because they gave me an excellent trim and style. Thank you perfect cut!

Yostina Henain the staff was so sweet i loved them but the work is not it. i asked for almond shape nails, i got round shape and it wasn’t even. it wasn’t the length i told her to stop at. i’ve been to several nail salons, i’ve done different lengths and shapes and this has been by far the worst. i am a college student that dropped $50 on nails i don’t like.

Zhen-Mei Huang Amazing nails with the most DETAILED nail art! Shoutout to Tammy for this beautiful design. Highly recommend + very high detail to cuticles and filing.

Allysia Winkler I absolutely love love love my new hair cut and color! Lexie did an amazing job! She is an expert at her craft. It is so hard finding an amazing hair stylists, I am so grateful I dont have to search anymore. I highly recommend Joya Salon, excellent colorist and stylists.
