The beauty of this nail salon is that it's fairly cheap and not high-end yet it hits all the "typical" salon qualities very well. Interior: clean and well decorated. There is a great selection of both gel and regular nail polishes that line the wall. The best feature that stood out to me was that the nail tables have built in UV lights. This is super convenient to just stick your hand under the table to set your nails; no more clunky, plug-in UV lights or fans! Service: equally as great. Even though the salon was busy when I went around Friday 12PM, there were enough technicians to quickly cater to all customers. My technician in particular was soft spoken but definitely knew what she was doing. She worked quickly and precisely on my full set of gel nails. My total came out to about $35 which is a decent price for what I got. At the end of the manicure I also received a cute stamp card that rewards based on amount spent! This is the first time I've seen a nail salon do this and it definitely persuades me to come back here again and again. read more

I live in Maryland and will be traveling to Delaware every 10-15 days. Customer service and knowledgeable on what they do is GREA!!!

This place charges more than 4% for using your credit card for standard powdered manicure and regular pedicure. Poor customer service. I do not recommend for anyone to go to this place. read more

Great clean salon. I have gotten pedicures here with my mom, and it's a perfect spot for a mother-daughter date! Everything is kept clean, and those massage chairs really put in the work. Jenny does a great job. She's willing to work with your schedule if your work schedule changes. My nails haven't chipped, especially with gel manicures! read more

I started going to Shining Nails because it is one of the few salons open on Sunday. I kept going because of the exceptional service and... Well frankly, because they play Hallmark movies. Guilty pleasure. I have been a regular ever since. Today, I went in to get a nail fixed that I had broken. The technician happily fixed me up! I never have to wait, everyone always has a smile on their face, and I leave there feeling like 1 million bucks. read more

They are friendly. I don't like the fact that they charge you 3% to use your card. It's an atm right there but it charges $2. Otherwise I like my nails, my daughter got hers done for the first time and she is excited and loves it. read more

Shining Nails - Acrylic Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, Delaware

I've been going to Shining Nails for over 5 years now. I literally pass probably 15-20 salons during my drive to get there. The longest I've had to wait was around 20 mins and I've never seen no less then 5 techs on any given day. It doesn't matter who I get, they all are friendly, very skillful and my feet feel amazing for days afterwards. read more

Looking at the pictures form other reviews I thought I wouldn't have an issue with this place at all. I got a yin yang design of my middle fingers that the woman really struggled with. The polish isn't smooth and you can see the bumps and ridges on the surface. I also only went in for a fill and they told me I had to take my acrylics off and get a full set. I complied because their pitch was compelling but within the time I was there they said the same thing to every single other person that had acrylics on, and when I got to the register I found out why. They charge you an extra $15 to tear your acrylics off your nails plus the few extra dollars for the full set instead of the fill. They definitely like to take peoples money with very lackluster work and in a not so relaxing environment. read more

I LOVE shining nails! I am usually hesitant when i ask for a crazy design because most nail places can't do the design I want. I asked for the nails and the lady (i think her name was anne) told me she could do it. The nails i asked for looked very hard to do but she did a great job! Very friendly service and work extremely hard. Definitely recommend them! I also got my brows done and they came out perfect! She did exactly what I needed! I will for sure be going back! read more

I'm highly impressed with Nanas skills. She listens to your request and actually does what you ask of her. I dont even mind driving over an hour just to get my nails done from Nana. Also, the gel mani & regular pedi is only $48! read more

I am extremely dissatisfied. My nail tech is out the county. Called to get an appointment, was told come on in for 5pm. Got there sat for 30 minutes. A man and his child came in to get pedi for both and mani for young girl. They immediately take them back and sat them down. I complained to them. One techs said they not getting in front of you. Then she ask what I was getting done. I told her when I came in. I have been a customer for years and years. Totally disappointed with the staff at Shining nails. read more

Was visiting from out of town and wanted a pedicure but was feeling concerned about safety due to Covid-19. This salon was great. Not crowded. Required masks for all staff and customers. Took my temperature screening before agreeing to provide service. Had screens between staff and customer for pedicure. Impressed with their protocols and my nails look amazing! read more

Love the ladies at Shining Nails! My daughter & I have been going to Shining Nails for a few years now and are always happy with our nails. We just went the other day after the COVID-19 pandemic and they made all the needed precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy. read more

So happy I found this place! At $35 for a mani/pedi, it's less than the others in the area which are oddly overpriced. They adhered to COVID standards, the ladies were super nice, and they did a great job in a timely manner. Will definitely make this my go-to Newark nail spot. read more

This was my first time having my nails done in years so I was a little apprehensive so I researched reviews for Shining Nails and I'm so glad I did!

This is the only nail salon that I patronize. I have been a customer for more years than I can count, at least 7 years but probably more. Every single person does a fantastic job. The shop is always clean and tidy and I feel it is a safe environment for all. They have a great selection of different services and their prices are great too! read more

First time going to this nail salon tonight after receiving crappy service elsewhere. They were quick, friendly, and did a great job! The last place I got my nails done they made the nails too wide and it looked unnatural. They were able to fix them so they looked as if they fit my fingers! They saw me right away and I was done in a half hour. You won't get a better quality to cost ratio than this place! The reason it loses a star in my books is because every now and then I'd get a whiff of feces...not sure if it was a neighboring store or something out back but it did catch me off guard a couple of times! However it would not stop me from going again! read more

Shining Nails - My nails look healthy and colourful! Love them! They're short by my own choice (which was a mistake!) - Nail Salons Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Went with some co-workers, honestly because everywhere near our hotel did not have capacity to fit 5 people for multiple services on a Tuesday. The staff was great, we brought champagne for a celebration and they let us cheers and drink as we got Manis/Pedis. Super fun time, they accommodated us so well especially since we got lost and were almost 30 minutes late! The overall gel manicure I got was fine, it was rushed, I'm not sure if this is typical or was because we were late/close to closing time. The gel manicure was overall okay, just the basics nothing extraordinary. The pedicure though was great and I have great results, just again not a lot of pampering, just the basics were done. I didn't mind the short process time, it was actually nice in a jiff, however the gel manicure was sub-par the color is not uniformed throughout each nail/is opaque in areas after 4 coats of polish. I still would recommend this place since it's not expensive and you get what you pay for, they have many colors but limited polish brands. read more

This place is very nice. My nails always look great and hold up really well. I mean this...seriously, really well. I clean and scrub dishes and pack and unpack the trunk and swim. Not a nick. Sometimes the girl I go to seems rushed and she may not do what I ask but she is nice and this is how she makes her living and is just trying to get customers. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Everywhere in Dover was booked until next weekend and I needed to get my mani fixed ASAP.

Was very disappointed. Showed up at my appointed time. Told to sit in a treatment chair. Sat there 30 minutes with no service. Put my shoes back. One of the busy Ladies started shouting Chinese. A person who said she was the manager said she would do the pedicure which she did in 10 minutes. My wife was in the car waiting. My big toe hurt when I got home. Not properly trimmed! Very surprised! read more

This salon is awesome. Not only are the nails neat but they also take their time with manis and pedis to give you a true "spa experience". I was fortunate to have Luanne do my nails and eyebrows and she was so friendly that it felt like I was chatting with an old girlfriend. Usually I like to listen to my music when getting a pedi and skip the small talk but she seemed genuinely interested in what she asking and not only that but she helped me select a great shade of green that matched perfectly with my skin tone. I've been trying to find a consistent nail salon near me and this one has truly stood out. The fact that they're open on Sunday's just seals the deal! read more

I was happy with my manicure until the next day when my ring finger got all red and swollen. The day after that, pus started coming out of it. Not happy with the lack of sanitary equipment. At times like these, businesses should prioritize cleanliness and it is disturbing that a nail salon is using tools that are not being properly sanitized. read more

LOVE this place. I was visiting from out of town and really needed to find a good place that did SNS (dip) powder. I went to one salon and they said they didn't do it. So I went down the street and found this place. They did a great job! And prices were very reasonable. I got a mani/pedi for $68. The lady doing my nails took her time and did a great job! read more

I enjoyed my experience with Shining Nails. First, I am so happy to find a nail salon that's close to me that does SNS. While they don't have a ton of colors, they did a good job with the application and made them look natural. She tried a different top coat approach which was fine with me...she also told me if I didn't like it that I could come back and let her know..which was reassuring. Everyone was very nice. There were small details about the work that could be improved but I just need to open my mouth about them next time. While the decor of the salon needs a bit updating, it was quite clean which was reassuring. By the way it's $30 for SNS but $5 to take them off. I still think the pricing is high... SNS is the only thing they charge $5 to take off... more than likely I'll just take them off myself next time. But yes, I'll definitely be back read more

I discovered this nail salon on yelp I wanted to get a full set by someone with good hands and a keen eye. Looking into the comments I noticed Jenny's name several times, so I thought I might as well try this salon out. I am very pleased with the service I received, from the start Jenny was gentle and aware of how long I wanted the tips and how pointy I wanted the coffins. She took her time to cut each pair of fingers and thumbs so that the length was matching, I prefer lighter nails so she even filed them down to my liking. I can say I am in love with my new gel set! Sassy raspberry colour:) Close to UD campus too, would recommend for students. read more
