Shiny Nails in Carson has been my go to nail salon for almost 10 years. Peter always does my hands and never fails or disappoints. They always come out perfect. Tony does my pedicures every time and he does an amazing job. The vibe here truly feels like family. Even the other guests have been coming here for years, and we recognize each other every time we come in. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and consistently great at what they do. I would not trust my nails anywhere else. Highly recommend. read more

Come here all the time with my kids. I sent my kid once by herself and they charged her usual manicure $20 more with my card. I get me mani and pedi and the cost was the same as her manicure!!??

I've been back with Peter and I've learned my lesson to call for an appointment. This really alleviated 99% of my bad review. I asked for acrylic overlay on my natural nails. He did exactly what I asked for. I wanted a thin layer, over my natural nail. It was PERFECT. I came back for a fill, so they grew and even looked better after my second time read more

This place has gone from bad to worse and I will never go back again. The 2 guys (I think they're brothers) that sit in the front are arrogant and rude. Also, they have a new older woman doing pedicures, she is obviously barely learning and her work unfortunately needs lots of experience before they put her to do pedicures. While I was there, one of the brothers that usually never does pedicures was telling a lady how horrible the dirt in her toenail smelled! He told her at least 4 times and he was loud. The lady was embarrassed and I wanted to say "that's why she's here you idiot!" ... Why would you embarrass someone like that when that's your job! Long story short, I will never go back. Quality has deteriorated and getting treated like they don't need your money is obvious! read more

I happened upon this shop on a Sunday when my usual shop was closed and I was so pleased! Sam did a beautiful job on my nails. She listened to what I wanted and was honest about pricing. I had a broken nail and she advised me that a whole new set would only be $5 more than fixing just the one. She asked me if I liked the length, shape, and color making sure that I approved every step of the way and the finish product was just what I was looking for. There is plenty 2 hr parking out front and a whole parking lot right in the back. I cannot comment on pedicures because I only did my nails, but I will definitely be back in 2 weeks! read more

I liked this shop. I specifically asked not to have the same color I came in with. It's the one time I can sit and relax and I did. When I looked up to see the color that was on my nails, I brought it up to the technician and it didn't go well. I asked for management and he spoke to me unprofessionally. Now I have to find a new shop. I'm sad. I forgot my AirPods and forgot why I always used them when I was in this shop. The playlist is explicit. I am very sad that I have to find a nail shop that does nails like this one. Many will go and enjoy. I will just not be one of them. read more

First of all, only open nail salon in my area during coronavirus. Prices are spot on aka average in the South Bay. Not as talkative and warm..they strictly do their job. I like that because I like my ritual to include silence. I really don't let anyone do my nails but with my birthday tomorrow and the salons shut down I was desperate... John was great with my fill. He did a perfect job laying acrylic powder and keeping my desired nail shape. He cut my cuticles often while he was drilling. Pain is gain though because this is the closest my sets have been to my cuticle. He was patient with my spontaneous design. He even removed all the lint on my nails when I swiped my pants. Overall a good job on paint job except for the lack of an even coat on certain fingers, mostly my ring and middle finger on my right hand. The woman who did my toes (don't recall her name) did a super job. She cut me once while removing skin from my big toe but I only bled a little. Not sure if she was or wasn't pregnant, but I still felt super bad she had to scrub and massage my feet. Paint job was thorough and no bubbles!! She cut and filed my toes perfectly, keeping it just the way I like. I'm picky and super hard to work with! I'm very particular about my nails so 4 stars would be a normal person's 10 stars LOL.. I'm birthday ready!!! Happy 23 to me read more

Ask for Tony and Nancy! I've been going here for some time now and their work is amazing! I've also had Evan work on my pedi and he's excellent! Everyone is professional and friendly here. Trust me when I say I've never left with a cut! They know what they're doing. It's best to make an appointment. If not, call first to see how long the wait is. That's what I do since my schedule is always changing. Maximum I've waited without an appt was 15-20mins. They're very good at accommodating you. Vibe is super chill. You can watch the tv's or you can even take a quick nap on the massage chairs! I love that there's even a 7eleven next door so you can grab a snack and drink too! I hope you enjoy your next visit!

I appreciated his thoroughness and care taken with my nails. They look flawless even after two and half weeks and I do pottery and fishing with my hands. This is the spot, they get busy though since it's a small operation. Also got my brows done and they look great! Would highly highly recommend, the price and quality of service is on point.

I am still sitting in the pedicure chair and I am SO INCREDIBLY PLEASED with my service I couldn't wait to start this review. I came in today for a regular mani/pedi and have now realized that every service I've ever received in the past has never done justice. Tony is my duuuuude. My big toes have always bit a bit ingrown and I thought there was nothing that could be done about that. I was just proven wrong. Not only was so much excess cuticle and skin removed, it was done so gently. And don't even get my started on the massage He's top notch! Best manicure and pedicure I've ever received when it comes to the basic clean up of cuticles and foundation. I'll be going nowhere else read more

This place makes you feel unwelcome. I've gave this place multiple tries since it's near my home and yet everytime I leave feeling uncomfortable and like if I was a burden there. If you're not someone who's a regular here where they know you, I highly recommend you try another place. It's unfortunate as I would've loved to have had a good experience and felt satisfied with their service. But nevertheless I hope they fix that issue of making potential customers feel this way.

After tolerating less-than-average pedis from another nail salon for waaayyyy too long, I was ready to find my new go-to salon, and I'm happy to share that I found it! I came here yesterday with my boyfriend to get our monthly pedis. We called 30 mins before coming in to make sure they had availability and were invited to come in. This salon is kind of tucked away but can be found in the same plaza as 7-11. It looks rundown on the outside, and the inside is very... green (and a little dusty)... but don't let that stop you from coming here. As soon as we entered, I was surprised to see that 3 of the 4 nail techs were guys. I didn't mind though because, from the many salons I've been to, I've noticed guy nail techs seem to do a cleaner job than the girls. Strange, I know. Anyway, my pedicure was done by Evan, and he did an amazing job! I asked to keep my nails short and more of a rounded shape, and he did exactly that. My nails look even (I've had first-world problems where the nail tech would make the shape of my nails look crooked or different from each other - LOL), my cuticles have never looked cleaner, and the nail polish is very well-applied. I'd post a pic of my pedi done by him, but people on the internet are weird, so just take my word for it. Haha! read more

Giving it 3 stars since the people there are nice and the person who did my nails is very nice. Price is very decent I got the gel mani for $30. I called in the morning for the same day appt. The cons is the gel started chipping after a day or so (see photos). Which is soo weird gel polish shouldn't chip the next day unless they used a regular nail polish. I didn't have time to come back and get it fixed since I have to fly to Miami and will be back after a week. Also the utensils and towel used are not sterilized and feels like they don't clean it after use either. Uhm yeah no! Thats a big no no for me. Not really recommending this place.

The salon is always clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. Best of all, there is rarely a long wait, which I really appreciate. What sets this salon apart is their honesty and customer care. When I first came in, they were upfront about the condition of my nails and explained that the style I wanted at the time would not last because of the health of my nail bed. Instead of just taking my money, they recommended what would be best for my nails and helped me get them healthy again. That level of professionalism is hard to find. My nails always turn out exactly how I want them, and the staff consistently does amazing work. Most recently, I brought my 2-year-old daughter, Kehlani, in for a manicure and pedicure.

I've been here twice now and had to write a review. The ladies here are all friendly and…read moreprofessional. Clearly their products are top of the line, in the past when I got gel on my nails a week tops before it started to peel. This picture is of a three week old service. Actually headed to the shop now. It only peeled in one nail and that's cause I chipped my nail. That tells me the previous shops I went to must've watered down the product to stretch. Based on the quality alone they have made a permanent customer out of me! Can't forget the music is always a vibe.

I came in for a simple color change on my toes. As soon as I walked in, I greeted the woman sitting…read moreat a station. Instead of a greeting back, the first thing she said was, "Can you close the door because the air is on?" There was no "Hi, how are you?" or even a polite request. It immediately set the tone for the visit. When she finally asked how she could help me, I told her I was there for a color change. She looked around, sighed, and said, "We're not gonna have time for you today." I paused, expecting her to offer another appointment or suggest another time, but instead it just felt like, "We can't help you." I said, "No problem," and started walking out. An employee (who I believe was her assistant) ran after me and told me another customer had offered to let me go ahead since my service was something simple. I honestly hesitated because of the owner's attitude, but I wanted to give a black owned business the benefit of the doubt, so I came back. I thanked the customer who let me go ahead, but the owner never acknowledged me. Even something as simple as, "It's been really busy today, but we appreciate you and we'll be with you shortly," would have gone a long way. When it was finally my turn, I sat down and the owner asked, "You're just getting a color change, right?" I said yes, and she didn't say another word. It honestly felt like she still didn't want to service me but was doing so because I was already there. A little while later she yelled across to me, "Hey, blue shirt... what's your name?" After I told her, she said that from her angle it looked like I had my leg resting on the technician and that her client didn't want to turn around. It was awkward, but I laughed it off and once again tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, figuring maybe she was just someone who was a little rough around the edges. After my service was finished, I went to pay. The technician asked if it was my first time there. When I said yes, she then informed me there was a $10 fee because they had to remove someone else's polish. The "removal" was simply sanding off my previous color. My issue wasn't even the fee--it was that it wasn't disclosed before the service started. Any additional charges should be communicated upfront so customers can decide whether they'd like to proceed. So I ended up paying $30 for a simple color changed when I could've just waited and got a pedicure at that point. The final straw was leaving the salon without so much as a "Thank you," "Have a great day," or "We appreciate your business." The owner said absolutely nothing. While I was there, I also watched other customers come in asking for pedicures. They received the same short, dismissive responses and were simply turned away. As they walked out, the owner called after them, "Keep us in mind." Honestly, that's difficult to do when customers aren't greeted warmly, prices aren't fully explained beforehand, and there doesn't seem to be much effort to make people feel welcome. The salon itself is nice, but customer service matters just as much as the quality of the work. A little kindness, professionalism, and clear communication go a long way in building loyal customers. Unfortunately, because of how I was treated, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience. I hope this brings awareness to the owner and no one else has to go through this experience

I've been…read moreto this salon before, and their work has usually been great, which is why this experience was so disappointing. This time, my nails were severely over-filed to the point that three of my natural nails broke and became incredibly brittle--something I've never experienced before. I should have spoken up that day, but it was right before the Fourth of July, and they were extremely busy. When I returned, they recognized me and offered to soak off the gel. Since my manicure didn't even last a week because of their poor work, I assumed they would accommodate me with at least a basic manicure while my nails healed. Instead, they recommended builder gel, saying it would help my nails recover. I trusted their recommendation, only to find out I was being charged $60 for a more expensive service. I would have been perfectly fine with a basic manicure until my nails healed from the damage caused during my original appointment. To make matters worse, both of my thumbs bled during the service, and despite everything, there was no discount, apology, or real effort to make the situation right.

I highly recommend Evan as a nail technician! He gives amazing pedicures--truly some of the best I've ever had. Evan takes his time, making sure every detail is perfect. He's incredibly gentle, patient, and professional, which makes the entire experience so relaxing. On top of his amazing skills, he's also friendly, warm, and welcoming--you'll feel like you're in great hands from the moment you sit down. If you're looking for a pedicure that leaves your feet feeling soft, clean, and refreshed, Evan is the one to book with! Don't miss out--his work speaks for itself. read more
