Very unhappy with my nail service. Ive been going here for a few times now and will not be coming back. My nails do not look good.

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.

Gel full set

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.

Loanne did great!!

I usually don't take the time to write reviews about any place I go, but for my first ever review I had to do one for Shinning Nails. I took my little sister in for us both to get our nails done. Her nail tech was Loanne, she showed her a picture of the nails she wanted and replicated them PERFECTLY. Loanne is always so kind and she takes her time with every nail making sure they are done to perfection. She also stayed an hour after to close to ensure my little sister was happy with her nails. You can definitely tell she loves her job. Completely recommend you have your nails done at Shinning Nails!

Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails 10/10, the ladies were so nice and made sure I loved my color when I picked it! Will definitely be returning, very reasonable pricing too!

Bad nails

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.

Jenny did an amazing job on my Valentine's nails
Missy E.

Always such a sweet staff! Very clean & excellent spa pedicures! Worth the extra 13$!

my nails

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!

My nails look healthy and colourful! Love them! They're short by my own choice (which was a mistake!)

I came here for my first Brazilian wax experience, and it was awesome. My friend recommended Aja to…read moreme after I had been researching European Wax Center for a bit. I took her knowledge and experience, and made an appointment here! They offer Groupon discount online. I also signed up for my appointment directly online, and they sent email confirmation as well. Made it nice and easy. The building is tucked away from the road** so it's easy to miss the turn! Just turn into the shopping center where the karate place is, but go straight back. The office is cute, cozy, and clean! Aja is very welcoming and personable. The experience wasn't awkward at all. She offered me a bottle of water as I signed the paperwork. We went back into a room where there was an electric fireplace going and tv on. It made the whole experience more relaxing and comfortable. Aja talked me through all of it, and honestly - I laughed. It took a total of about 20 minutes! If you're worried about the pain - don't be. It's not awful. If you can stub your toe on an end table and not cry - you got this. Aja even gave me the Groupon price for my first time (even though I didn't have a Groupon with me). They accept cash or card. And you can add tip on your card, as well. Overall; super happy with the process and the results. I'll be coming back as a regular.

Great service and prices! Tech was very professional and attentive. Will definitely go back!read more

So, I'm a 38 year old woman who went to school to be an esthetician over a decade ago. I know about…read morewaxing, I've given Brazilian waxings but it's not something I have ever ever ever thought I could do or would do. No way. I never ever thought twice about it. Yea, I know I just said that but I need you to understand how serious I am. But I was so sick of shaving it and sick of using Nair, I mean, why purchase organic foods when I'm rubbing something on my most sacred precious private area with something that smells like it's from 1980 something. Legit like I grabbed it off the shelf in 1980. I start having flash backs of perm rods with the first whiff. Google it kids. Ok so back to my story....so I decide to pop into this joint after making several appointments and canceling them. There's 2 women working the front reception area and they are just lovely. I'm neurotic and nervous and asking her ridiculous questions like "will I be able to walk out of here?" ‍ They are friendly and reassuring but not at all trying to push me into anything, and made me feel so comfortable. As soon as I said, "yes! I'm going to do it now" I immediately regretted it in my head and took a seat beside another young lady, at least ten years younger then me who told me it was also her first time getting a Brazilian. I couldn't believe how calm and cool and collected she looked, meanwhile I was frantically texting my husband, and telling him I'm doing the thing I've been going back and forth about doing for YEARS and his immediate response? Was "OMG". Because that's how serious this was, is, will forever be. Caitlin (the most amazing Esthetician I have ever met) called me back, just in time because I'm pretty sure the other young lady who looked calm was starting to have 2nd thoughts and looking towards the door after watching me twitch, bite the sides of my nails while forcing deep breathes and trying to calm down and text my husband for support, which probably looked something like someone in labor or having a panic attack and a seizure at the same time. Caitlin had me in and out in 15 minutes. She was professional and kind. And there was hardly any pain! I just can't believe I took this long NOT getting this done. I feel ten years younger. I look ten years younger. ok ok but seriously, it's amazing. Go there, ask for Caitlin, chat with the lovely receptionists, and leave feeling wonderful. No shaving. No 1980's perm rod flash backs. Life is good y'all. Highly recommend. This place is top notch!

If you're going for waxing, fine…read more But since they offer brow tinting, I figured, why not add it on. Big mistake. The poor girl could not make my brows look even, ended up having to remove the dye on one brow to try again. Mentioned the issue again to her, and she struggled still. Even after that, I left unhappy and immediately scrubbed my brows when I got into the car.
