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

I've gotten 4 sets (gel manicure) from here and I love their pricing and availability. I've never had any chipping and always have the same nails for 4-6 weeks. For a simple gel manicure I'm usually in and out the door in 45 minutes read more

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

I need my eyebrows done. I came today and the guy the girl that did it was horrible. I asked her to clean it up and she said she was done. I tried to pay the money they said no and I said fine. My eyebrows still needs to be done! The girl that did my eyebrows, I think she was scared because I was in wheelchair. Never going back!!!! 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

Writing this as I'm waiting for my pedi to dry lol I got a pedicure with Linda and she was so sweet, did an AMAZING job on my pedicure. I went in as a walk in as soon as they opened and they were already busy!! I can tell all of their customers are regulars which is always comforting knowing people love coming here and return! It was my first time but definitely won't be my last! Highly recommend read more

I love love Sammy, her shop was at K-Town but right now. It's in the outskirts of Pasadena and I do not mind to travel. I love her work on my nails. I love the vibe when I get there. I love the quality of work. When She does my nails. She takes her time and the design she does is amazing on them. I always tell my people and my riders where they can go to get their nails done. I always get good complements from my riders when I'm doing Uber.... I always go to her cause I just love her and the why she welcomes you when you enter her shop, believe me when I say you will love the way she does Your nails. 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

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! This nail salon is for everyone! Parking is easy! 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

At first when walking into the store it looks a little outdated and it's mainly men working which is surprising for a nail salon. I was pretty skeptical if they would do a good job, but after getting a mani pedi I LOVEEEEEE THEM I went back and will continue to go back for my biweekly nails. They clean so well and do a great job on designs you ask for and the salon has many color options. Thank you so much shiny nails! 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. Just an honest review. read more

Today was my first visit. Happy I found this little gem by my job. Stopped by on my lunch and they got the job done. I elected for a chime gel which looks great. You can check out my photos. It was $37 bucks for the chrome. My nail tech took her time (I forgot to ask her name, whoops). She was kind and really payed attention to detail. Thank you for my cute nails! read more

WOW! I am writing this review two and a half weeks after I got my dip nails. I had an excellent experience, I don't remember the name of my nail tech, I think it might have been Phu. 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. Looking forward to returning soon! read more

Shiny Nails - Two and a half weeks out - color dip - Nail Salons Near Me - Carson, California

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

Went in to get my gel nails removed. The guy said it would be a small wait. I waited 30 minutes, and they took another customer that came after me. I understand people have appointments... I asked how much longer the wait would be and he said another 30minutes. At this point I just got up and left. If you know someone has to wait an hour to be seen, respect their time and let them know. Unfortunately I will not be going back after this experience. read more

Spent days looking for a place to do my nails. Im Very picky when it comes to doing my manicure since I only do it in salons when I have a special occasion to go to. Found this place in yelp.

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

Shiny Nails - Prices for their pedicure options (Dec 2021) - Nail Salons Near Me - Carson, California

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. I guess you get what you pay for. read more

Family owned business great services, friendly environment feel like home, best place to get your nails done.

Anytime I go anywhere other than Shiny Nails, my nails beds are poor, weak, and so much of the cuticle is damaged, but every time I visit here I leave with healthy happy hands. I feel like they really understand quality care and keeping your nail integrity. Everyone is respectful and friendly, but it can be busy if you don't have an appointment, and even then sometimes there's a wait. Nonetheless I'm really glad I found this place, have been a customer for 3+ years. read more

Open on a Sunday?!?! It's Mother's Day and all I ready wanted was a mani and pedi. It's been months due to budget constraints but I really needed it! Hubby called around and found a shop nearby that was open and taking walk-ins. I was iffy at first because trying new salons can be a hit or a miss, especially if your feet are in the condition mine were in . It took about 20 minutes to be seen which was to be expected since I was a walk-in, its mothers day, and only 4-5 people on staff. I wish that I could remember the name of the man who did my mani, but he was excellent and funny lol. But the hero of this story is Phu my pedicurist. Of course he could tell that it had been a while since my last pedicure (and I'm a dance teacher so there's that) but he was a professional and didn't make me feel bad about it. He took his time and definitely deserved a larger tip for his efforts. I got the deluxe mani and pedi which came out to $95 with gel polish on both, but the massage for both arms and legs was well worth it! Thank you both for easing some of my tension and for putting a smile on my face today. read more
