This was my first time here and there are some positive reviews and some negative so I was not sure what to expect. I've been getting my nails done in the Latham area and Colonie area for over 30 years and am pleased with this place! They were very busy so I reassured them I could wait as it seemed a demanding clientele. Jason did a set of ANC and was meticulous and perfectionist. He went super light on the drill as I had some damage from my last nail set and my nail beds were thin and sore. He took his time and got each and every nail shaped and filed to match and he took special care of my cuticles which were a mess! I am very very pleased and will be back in two weeks. If you go, be patient, be kind and tip well! read more

Nice, clean nail salon that welcomes walk-ins. I don't live nearby, although after today's experience I wish I did. I hadn't looked at my nails closely told the technician that it was ok to just file my nails. She noticed that I had broken one nail and suggested that she cut my nails a bit so that they'd be even. I agreed and my nails look great. The shape is perfectly oval and the cuticles are super smooth. My pedicure was great too. I was offered something to drink during my pedicure. The space is very clean and everyone is friendly. It's always nice to walk into a new nail salon and be treated like a long time customer. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to come back. read more

Shiny Nail & Spa - The middle finger and pointed are sloppy and aren't the right design also the middle finger one of the lines on it was really bad - Nail Salons Near Me - Latham, New York

Absolutely the best dip powder manicure I've ever had. There is no contest, and the runner up is miles behind. Lisa was so detail oriented and I am thrilled with the results. A week later they still look fresh. She even did a few things that were really unique and helped with my very dry skin - including warmed aloe (I think) drops. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I have had positive experiences here until two weeks ago. I had an appointment for an ANC fill and a pedicure. As always I go in with a picture of what I would like my nails to be an selected a spa pedicure. They assured me that they could achieve the look I wanted for my ANC. They did not. My nails smudged and peeled the same night. My pedicure also smudged the same evening. They did not provide me with all the services included in my pedicure and three techs were working on me at different times. I was there over three hours while people came and went around me. When I voiced complaint I was offered the massages I should have already had. I declined as I had been there so long already. I was met with the attitude that the services I made an appointment for took longer. Ummmm no crap, that's why I made an appointment. I was overcharged and my coupon not honored. My daughter also went this week and they did not do what she asked for. Additionally, they damaged her cuticles. Will not be returning. I'm disappointed and out 100 bucks. read more

Amazing service Cici was the best, made sure I was comfortable and enjoying the entire service. The workers were beyond friendly and welcoming, very good verity of services and they always live up to expectations. Thank you so much guys! read more

First of all, the music is terrible. It's this boring midi-lullaby video game music or something. On to nails: I had a good experience with Kitty (would recommend her), but I returned and had a different pedicurist. I was subjected to the most painful and forced cuticle removal of my life. By the time I was able to say anything, it was too late. Her approach was to pull hard on the cuticle rather than cut it. It really hurt! Honestly I have no idea what she was doing, and I don't think she knew either. I had a swollen toe for a week after. I would see Kitty again and give her five stars, but I can't recommend anyone else. I would only go back if I cut my own nails beforehand. read more

Very clean and professional and 30% off everything! My anc nails last 5 weeks!! They use vitamin E and aloe that helps so much in keeping my nails strong. They're always available for walk ins and can pretty much do any design love them!!! read more

they will not tell you the actual price until you have to pay and they will randomly upcharge. they tried to charge me $80 for a manicure i was able to get for $40 somewhere else. one of my friends understands mandarin and they basically said to charge more because "they're young and they'll just pay it". they don't have actual set prices that they follow listed anywhere just so they can randomly upcharge read more

Wanted to leave a review because I am so impressed. Was in town for the holidays last month, got my nails done two days before Christmas. It's been a whole month and the SNS/ANC dip is still holding up amazingly! The tech did a great job. I'm down in Atlanta and usually have lifting between the SNS and my nailbed around 3 weeks, but these nails are still holding strong. Would highly recommend. Also another note. I took my SIL who's only 18 to get her nails done and it was her first time getting ANC. Her tech did the whole set and my SIL wasn't crazy about how the color came out, and the tech obliged to correct the color without any issue. I really appreciated that level of customer service because I know it might have been frustrating. read more

Great mani/pedi! Only complaint is that there were only three nail techs working so we had to wait 30 minute or so. Luckily, I called ahead so it wasn't an issue. read more

This place is run by prejudice Asians if you are a PERSON OF COLOR do not spend your money here. I sat watched how they do not ask for the White womens money before starting but have the nerve to ask for the black womens money. I sent my man inside they lied saying she got her toes done like no she sat right next to me and got her finger nails done. just heads up avoid this rude prejudice establishment. Btw I had gel done they dry fast so not hearing anything about me messing my nails up to get my money. They don't treat black women nice go elsewhere. When you get a service you pay after it's done not before. read more

I went here for my graduation nails after being cancelled on. they did so bad. i asked for a refund they said they would "fix" them. There is no fixing a crooked nail with bumps on it. and i got charged for "long" when the nails are not even long AT ALL. i paid $55 for shitty nails not shiny nails. read more

Was back home for a few days and desperately needed a fill in - so happy I found this spot! Right on Rte. 9 and a super cute space. My nails came out amazing! She did them exactly how I asked. I went with my sister and her boyfriend, who both got pedicures and raved about them. We came in without appointments and they were very gracious about getting us in! Overall... great color selection, great customer service and a cute space. read more

The only speak limited English tho. Besides that there work is great! Pricing is a base price and then they add on for shape, length and colors used. The salon is very neat and clean. read more

The salon is nice and clean but the work is awful. My pedicure was nice until I saw the polish there's streaks all over my toes and the paint job on my hands was terrible. Not even an hour after leaving my gel polish started chipping off mind you it doesn't chip and i've never has this issue else where. Not even 24 hours later my nails looked like this. Unacceptable for the amount of money spent i'll be going elsewhere from now on. Go to miracle nails in Troy they're the best. read more

this has been my go to nail place for the past year and i've been nothing but amazed with all of their services. zhu is my favorite artist, her attention to detail is like nothing i've experienced before. i also bite my nails pretty badly, and this is the first time i've never had a nail tech comment on my cuticles. i wish i was kidding. i get anc with tips and pedicures and i can honestly say they're the best i've ever had!! read more

This is the only nail place that can get the ANC to stick to my nails for the full three + weeks. I am so happy with the service and they are the nicest people. The milk and honey pedicure was fantastic too. Highly recommend! read more

I went there yesterday for ANC with tip and Vivi did such a great job. She was thorough and made sure my nails looked natural as I wanted! I've never had anyone be that thorough with doing my nails! read more

First time in and horrible service and horrible work. The pedicure was fine and clean. The acrylic full set just Terrible. Throughout the process I asked her to do certain things and she didn't them. I wanted square and it was all wiggly bulky and just uneven all around. Not to mention that the way she put the acrylic and the polish makes it look like I need a fill. She did not fix this issue even though I brought it at the beginning. She was very huffy puffy about fixing anything I asked her to. Will not return here and will not recommend it to anyone. read more
