So today I went in for a walk in I haven't got my nails done in a bit because the last few nail salons I went I didn't leave to enthusiastic about them but today the lovely ladies, they did an amazing job I left so happy and she gave me ideas that I liked. Honestly they all we're very welcoming, the energy was good it was relaxing, I wish I could've transferred more from my savings to checkings to leave a bigger tip I feel horrible but I'll be back again and make sure for next time to many scammers on Amazon and Disney+ tryna money out of my account so I have to transfer money into my accounts. Honestly you won't be disappointed and they got free parking in the back as well. Social distancing set up good cleanliness good I just got in time before it started to pick up read more

I'm not the type to leave reviews but this place ALWAYS overcharges me. The first time I went there I got rainbow nails (5 diff. Colours on each hand). I got charged $70. The lady doing my nails did shellac and said $5 extra for the rainbow. Online it says $35 for a full set + $15 for shellac. If I'm not mistaken that's $55 before tax. I came here a second time hoping I wouldn't get overcharged again. I got white nails with 20 crystals (0.50 X 20 = $10) and a glitter accent on my ring finger. I got charged $68 when it should've been around $45-50 because I did not get shellac. Where is this extra charge coming from??? She's not cutting my cuticles or anything special. You have just lost a customer. read more

62/100 WOO HOO!! Finally, after eight months I have finally found my new salon. Stanley's. Majority English speaking staff + clean facilities + amazing massage chairs + professionally dressed + nice ambiance + beautifully decorated+ talented staff + reasonably priced+ TVs = A Perfect Pedicure!!!! Only prob is that they have to share the bathroom with the hair salon. Other than that it was the little things I liked. Being offered water, the sign at the door to warn you about tow times and the amount of effort and detail that Dao put into my pedicure. She knew everything I liked and I never even met her before! And I love she is using her Asian name and not "Lisa" or whatever other Canadian name they give themselves. I told the older lady there how great I thought Dao was and she replied "we are all very good". Of course they are! They have every colour of polish (lots of OPI) and every shade of glitter! They even have the little tiny balls and patterned acrylics!! Stanley's was very busy when I went in but definitely the type of place I have been hunting for since I came to BC. (4-5 years ago!) Stanley, you did your place up RIGHT! read more

I got shit service and over charged I asked for normal oval Shaped gel nails and she forced me to choose a colour I said no over 20 times then the talking in her language to another worker.. my nails looked like shit and then my pedicure was painful they charged me for a polish change and painted only one toe nail that I asked for.... 148 dollars for bleeding nail beds and bladed cut heels i had a injury on my leg and asked her not to touch that leg because a cinder block bird bath fell on my shin and she smiled giggled and pushed on it more I want full refund for this bullshit service read more

Horrible customer service! i was asssigNed an inexperienced aesthetician who took 45 mins to clean my old nail polish. She used an electric file which kept slipping onto my fingers! she did not apologize. she then made me soak my nails in acetone for 15 minutes!!! it was then close to 7 pm when the salon closed. Donny the Manager decided to rush things. made the decision to do shellac as my nails were short!!! they then selected their own colour without consulting me. when I expressed dissatisfaction, Donny pointed to the door and asked me to leave. i was so humiliated, I burst out crying. he then apologized saying he was sick, took Tylenol all day and was having a bad day! I refused to leave without getting the ugly colour removed. One of the girls stayed back to rectify their mistake. I refused, just wanted my nails cleaned. will never return. read more

I have heard of this place many years ago and only finally decided to check it out. I was a bit iffy after reading reviews on here but the photos on Instagram looked really nice so I decided to check it out. It was EXTREMELY busy when I came in. The lady (I think her name was ashley) took me in about 40 minutes late as her client was taking her longer. I was a bit annoyed by the wait but my nails came out really nice. I got a very simple set of acrylics and even though the service felt rushed they came out really really nice. She made them nice and thin but none of them have broken off yet which I'm super happy about. I'll probably come back read more

I definitely will not come back here. Rude employees and horrible quality. The lady doing my nails was talking to another employee in Vietnamese for a few minutes, seemingly to be talking about me. Then one of them looked at me, asked if I was Vietnamese and when I said no, they continued talking in Vietnamese. Then I was told my nails would cost $40 instead of $29 because they were fixing one nail (applying the powder coat on top to strengthen it) and also to "file" my nails. This is the first time I've ever been charged to get my nails filed and shaped. This would all have been fine if the quality was good but the shape was horribly done and so was the polish. The shape was very uneven and the polish was sloppy (thick in some areas and not painted close to the cuticle even though I asked her to go closer to the cuticle). I only tried this place out as it's close to home and my regular nail tech from Welcome Nails in Vancouver is on maternity leave. read more

STAY AWAY !! Have you not noticed ALL the BAD reviews ??? The headlines: I was Yelled at OUT LOUD and humiliated by the juvenile girl with an arm of Black Tattoos. I was immediately put-off by the Rude and Disrespectful tone in which she spoke to me from the moment I sat down - blew my mind. Very unprofessional. I requested 2 nails to be painted in a different colour glitters and she immediately started adding costs. I said, "I don't understand, this is a regular manicure - nothing fancy - and my last place never charged if 2 different colour glitters" (for only 2 nails) "You're going to paint them anyway, I said, why on earth are you charging people extra money because its a different colour?" I said, "this is ridiculous, I am not paying for that - I have glitter at home and will apply at home". ... That's when she lost it on me. She began YELLING out LOUD for all the hear, "Then GO HOME!!" "GO BACK TO WHERE YOU WENT ! ... She looked me dead in the eyes ( which freaked me out ) and said, I'm serious, GO BACK TO THEM! - And don't ever come back here!!" WOW - WOW - WOW I felt humiliated as everyone around us, who had no idea what we were discussing, started to stare. Who reacts like this crazy way? Who YELLS at a customer like this? I just sat there with my mouth open, in complete and absolute shock. I said "Excuse me, but can you please lower your voice and stop Yelling at me?". Then she said,"Just leave!" She then got up and walked away, leaving me siting there, half done ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? My welcome into the Salon should have been my first indication to Run. I was "greeted" by a very loud spoken, gruff looking woman, I'd expect to see at a Truck Stop Diner on Route 56. Jesus!! Honestly, What is wrong with you people??? ! Again - Have you not noticed ALL the BAD reviews you've received??? Girlfriends please listen to me! If you were my friend I would tell you, DO NOT EVER COME HERE. read more

I love the artwork that they produce here! Stanley & Trang both do a fabulous job at making your nails fab. Solar gel nails are the ones I have gotten a few times and suggest. They don't turn yellow or peel off as fast as acrylic's do. They have photo albums full of their past designs that you could copy or get ideas from! Great work guys! read more

I was told from a worker not to ever come back because the nails SHE MADE kept breaking as I told her I need them Thick. Bad staff an attitudes I wouldn't recomend this place. read more

Pros: Good prices, walk ins available, awesome nails Cons: They ALWAYS hurt you, i always leave nicked and bleeding, sore nail beds, and even an infection once. I dont get why they have to be SO brutal to their clients nails, it should be a relaxing experience, not sitting in pain the entire time. Extremely busy, rough, but you will leave with fabulous nails :\ read more

Keep Walking Tried this place after 2 recommendations. (I was apprehensive after reading reviews.) I asked for gel French and was told $27 on the phone and when I got there it was $45 and then extra $10 for pink and white.... Uhm okay, maybe a miscommunication but I was already there. I kept saying I wanted gel just to make sure we were on the same page. When I asked for a design on my ring fingers she said $5, okay great. The bad; not only did I Not get Gel nails, I was charged $10 for a STICKER instead of a design and after 1 day they are already lifting. Do Not Go here read more

I've gone here three times. The first two were okay thought they somehow couldn't make my toenails all the same length or cut them evenly.The final straw was this last time. I walked in and asked if they had any openings on the same day or the next. Oh yes, come back at 3pm. I gave them my name and number then wandered the drive for 1.5 hours just for the appointment. I came back a few minutes before three. It was clear that they'd booked more people than staff. I sat and waited as no one looked up, no one came to the counter and even bothered to say, we'll be with you in a few minutes. A woman finished and paid, and the staff person ran to the back without even looking at me. Another woman came in and they took her immediately even though I'd been there for 10 minutes. Not one person came to talk to me or even acknowledged I was there. I walked out and I will never go back. No service mean no customers. read more

My friend has a bad nail service here, a bad nail technician, AS WELL AS a refusal for a refund when she was not satisfied. Please never go here. read more

The person who did my pedicure did not know what the hell she was doing, I had to tell her the steps - she got all the steps all wrong. She wanted to cheese grade my feet while it was completely dry, this was before she let my feet dip into the water to soak it first. The high gate location is WAY better because they don't use the electric machine to take your gel nails off, they soak it well with acetone and then use the scraper to scrape it off (it's the proper, non-lazy, and healthier for the nails way). This Stanley nails location across from Metrotown is SO SO SO filthy and the floor is disguising. I hope the boss knows that he has lost a lot of customers. I would never, ever, go back there again, given that there are SO many more nail salons just one block away. read more

Only go here if you have time to waste. I made an appointment, got there and noticed right away that there was 4 people working and about 8 women in the salon, myself making 9. 15 minutes pass and no one says anything to me or the two other women that were also waiting who arrived earlier than me. I asked them how long they had been waiting, 25 minutes. One of the women also mentioned they overbook all the time. So we're all waiting, and one girl goes and answers the phone and takes ANOTHER appointment for? In 15 minutes! Tf! Please tell me how you plan to finish 4 sets of gel nails, start 3 clients already waiting, and take in another in 15 minutes? I called nails by Jenny and went there instead. When I went up to them to tell them I'm leaving they told me the girl just got here and she's going to fill the tub right now - how convenient. Still left, because they overbooked themselves to make some extra cash, at the cost of my time. read more

Popped in today to get a full set of solar gel nails (french). Tracy was friendly and had quick hands. It was a very pleasant environment. I love my new nails. Free parking available in the back although only a few spots. Bathroom kinda sketch. read more

I was so impressed with the service and quality of this place. I've been on a hunt to find a nail salon to go to for regular fills and I think I just found it. Tracy was the lovely esthetician that did my nails today. I was shocked that she actually took the time and effort to make sure that my nails were perfect as opposed to just rushing to finish them. Considering the fact that it was quite busy during my appointment, I appreciate her efforts into making sure my nails were up to my standards. This is the first time that I've ever been super impressed w the outcome of my nails as well as maintaining quality service!! 100% RECOMMEND read more

Stanley Nails & Spa - obsessed w my nails, shoutouts to Tracy for my bomb ass fingers - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Although this place is really cheap for taking acrylics off, they do a really bad job at it. It was my first time taking them off and I would of expected some acetone involved but there was none. Instead the girl who worked on my nails took an acrylic nail from her desk and started shoving the nail into my nail ripping all my acrylics + gel off! It even ripped my real nail and was super duper painful . I even bled and they wouldn't give me a bandaid when I asked read more

Stanley Nails & Spa - :( painful - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

The lady I had do my nails was on her phone the whole time. She was video calling her family from Vietnam. Did my nails pretty quick I guess but it was really unprofessional. She didn't push back my cuticle which I didn't notice until after. Been a while since I been here for a manicure but they also don't give you a hand massage at the end, there's a bottle of lotion at the till. read more

The nail techs were fine But the lady who.... well I don't know what she does. Answer phones? Anyways we called said we would be late. And they Had every right to cancel our appointment. But they did not. We arrived 45 minutes later due to circumstances out of our control expecting it all to be cancelled. If it was cancelled we would have understood. But the lady at the front Continued to make a big deal about the fact that we were late. Exaggerating how long it has been and honestly being bitchy. The nail techs were fine no complaints from them. But the lady standing around kept saying how many customers she had to turn away. (There was only 4 customers to begin with) and I've honestly never had anyone be so unprofessional about someone being late. All her job is is answering phones. Why is it such an inconvenience for her ? read more

I am extremely disappointed!!! I am actually a very loyal customer to Stanley, i get my nails done there ALL THE TIME and my nails would turn out so bomb! This time it was a BIG no no. I went to my appointment and a lady name Ivy did my nails. She literally finished my nails in 20mins! The whole process was super rushed. The colour i didn't even like....the shape...the length. Everything was just horrible! And that day i was in a rush as well so i was like ok screw it and left. The moment i got out i noticed my nails weren't even completely dry, some corners already came off and some nails had huge gaps the polish didn't cover. I went in next day and asked them nicely to fix my nails for me and i want a free colour change so i can at least like the colour of these hideous nails! But they said no they have to charge extra $30!!!! I am a super regular there! And this is the first time this kinda situation happened and they cant even help me out???? They might lose me as a customer who is super nice to staffs and tips good!!!! Not to mention THESE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE MY BIRTHDAY NAILS TOO!!!! read more

Best in the city, if you have the right nail tech. I recommend Eva, and Stanley, have heard mixed reviews about the others or havent had them service my nails. They are the best. The application, shaping is the best in town, other places butcher the look. They can do any design you ask for and you wont be disappointed. Comparative to the brentwood mall salon where when you even show them a picture, they can't match it, or hurt you with their inexperienced skills. read more

I have to say, after 3 attempts at other Nail Salons, I finally found my go-to place for my nails. The 3-D nails are spectacular!! It was exactly what I was looking for. The colour choice is incredible. The artistic talents of Stanley, the owner, is impressive. The only reason I didn't give this spectacular little find 5 stars is that I was not blown by my original nail tech. The guy that gave me the tour and helped me choose my colour was lively and easy to talk with. The lady I got was quiet, and when you are sitting there for an hour with someone, a little conversation is nice, but then at the end I was lucky enough to get Stanley, who was impressive to watch and easy to talk with. Either way, I will be back in 2-3 weeks for my next visit. Go see this little gem of a place, the staff are talented, and the results are impressive. (Where is the online gallery?) read more

These nail technicians are perfectionists! They spend a lot of time and effort making sure every nail on my finger is perfect. They even massage my shoulders while I wait for my nails to dry. Minus one star because the lack of parking though. Other then that I will definitely be back!!! read more

Stanley is great with my nails!! He does great!! One of the other ladys I did an awful job on my full set i will only go with stanley, Vincent or Tracy, but I've been here a lot and to the one on commerial and most of them are great read more

I could not be happier with my nails! I showed the staff a picture of what shape I wanted and picked the colour I liked! It took about 1.5 hour but the nail technician did such an amazing job! I don't have any cuts or bruises and she didn't file down my nail too much to kill my nail bed lol I paid about 56$ for it and it was well worth it read more

So 2 weeks in I feel like i should update my review. In less than 2 weeks, 3 of my nails have broken and chipped and I wasn't even doing anything. I've never had this happen to acrylic nails. Won't be back read more

Decided to give this salon a chance because the one I usually go to was closed for vacation. :( I called in to make an appointment to get my acrylics filled. The nail technician still managed to make them different lengths, even though I mentioned that they were uneven, while she was shaping them. She seemed to be in a rush, and the gel polish didn't heal properly because there were a few lined dents when I got home AND a few days later the colour on a few of the nails started to fade/chip.....which isn't the point of gel polish?? Also, the work area could use some cleaning and better sanitation of nail tools. My friend had also gone here recently, and wasn't satisfied with her nails either. Ladies, save your money and find a salon that can actually DO nails! read more

I came by just to get an acrylic removal- I expected to get a rough file and buff that was rushed (like most places I've been to) but Stanley was SO meticulous and sweet. My nails look great and healthier than it usually does when I leave other places(for a removal). And it was $10 too?! Crazy. Other places charge $15-20 which is ridiculous. I love the sweet service and the atmosphere of the place, definitely coming back for future manicures/pedicures! read more

Stanley does an amazing job on your nails! Stanley is a professional he takes the time to listen to what you like done with your nails. His customer service is second to none. You feel so comfortable with him, He has a happy attitude every time. All of the other lady's are very nice as well as I have been with a few when he was away. The salon is very cute for a girls day or bachelorette nail party! -Shyanne k read more

I've been going Stanley Nails at the Highgate location for a few months now. My cousin-in-law recommended it to me because she had been going to Stanley Nails for years. I went to other nail salons previously and Stanley Nails has the best pricing, service and atmosphere. Everything feels new, is very clean and spacious, I'm always greeted when I walk in, and all the nail techs that I've worked with are very friendly and sensitive to my requests and needs. It makes for a very positive experience when you see that the staff love working together and and love what they do. They've also been able to work around my busy work schedule. I've found my go-to salon, and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality service. read more

First time going here, after hearing a bunch of friends from work talk about this place I thought I would get my nails done here. Everyone said they did a good job and the price was cheap. They did an okay job (so maybe I got the wrong girl??) My nails are pretty even...not perfect but I'm pretty o.c.d so maybe its just me thinking that. The lady was kinda rude. She didn't completely clean up around and under my nails... And then the price was more then everyone had said. Maybe next time I'll go with a friend who knows what the prices are cause it seems like I got ripped off. ---Would Not reccomend to a friend.--- read more

Actually one of THE WORST nail salons I have EVER been to. The woman (Ashley) that did my nails FORCED me to get a new set when all I needed was a fill. My nails are ALLL crooked and different lengths. I asked for coffin and I have nothing close to that on my nails. They're just big ugly squares. They're also SO sharp that I've cut myself once already and I keep scratching myself (and other people!). Above all else, after she INSISTED I get a full set, so went on to remove what I had on by TEARING off my old acrylic, instead of sanding it down. It was SO painful I nearly came to tears. At that point I wanted to just walk out but she had already cut all my nails down and I didn't know where else to go. My nails are SO sore today I can't even type on my keyboard. I am never going back there and I suggest others refrain from visiting this place too. Oh and lastly, their advertised prices are BullSHIT. Full set is NOT $34; she charged me $50, for shit work. read more

This is a total scam. You can get you nails done and manicure pedicure for just 85$. Here though, they say that the nails are just for 75$ and they charge you a 25 DOLLAR CREAM when you don't even ask for it. So that's a 100 SCAM if you want good quality and cheap nails just go to anywhere else in the world. At least the won't scam you like Stanley Nails do. read more

Rude and rushed. They did not pay attention to my requests, nor were the kind when I asked them to fix it. Rushed my acrylic nails (Finished in around 30 mins) and I'm extremely unhappy. Nails are not even fully on my nail beds and the acrylics weren't fully filed. They are thick and weirdly shaped. I highly do not recommend this place. read more

Worst nail salon you will ever step foot into. They all talk shit about the customers and the nails are terrible quality and the acrylics break constantly. Stay away from this trash place. read more

Came in for a pedicure and now they have some pet bird that hangs out in the shop. At first I was like, ok, whatever but it was chirping loudly during my entire appointment. You could tell all of the customers were getting irritated. Not to mention the owner of the bird clipped its wings so it can't fly away. That alone is enough to ensure I never come back here! Animal cruelty at its finest! DISGUSTING. read more

Should have read the reviews before going. They were extremely rushed when doing my nails. DO NOT RECOMMEND if you want your nails to fit on your finger properly and get your money's worth. Worst service ever. read more
