This review is specifically for Jaslyn. I came to get my Gel X removed and get a manicure. She delivered on the Gel X removal. So careful and kept asking if things were ok. She suggested a different color when the one I picked was not a good fit. Once again, Sunny Nails has exceeded my expectations. I just love that you can schedule an appointment via text. I also enjoy not talking during appointments and it doesn't feel awkward here. That's a big one for me. read more

I've had mostly great experiences at this salon, and most of the nail techs I've seen have been friendly, professional, and do a good job. However, I recently started going to Andy for my manicures, and his work has quickly become my favorite! Andy is an amazing nail tech and always has my nails looking beautiful. I usually get builder gel with cat eye, and my nails consistently last well over two to three weeks. I probably could go even longer between appointments, but I personally like keeping my nails looking fresh and maintained. I also receive compliments on my nails almost daily, including from complete strangers, which says a lot about the quality of Andy's work! He's very talented and pays attention to the little details, and I always leave happy with how my nails look. Overall, I've had mostly good experiences at this salon, but Andy is definitely my favorite nail tech. If you're looking for someone who does beautiful, long-lasting work, I highly recommend booking with him! read more

I'm a licensed nail tech and have been doing my own pedicures for years now. Every once in a while I join family and friends to have them done because doing them myself puts quite a strain on my back and neck. Yet that still would've been less painful than this appointment. Some family and I came in for pedicures and two out of 5 of us have specific techs they request or they won't even bother. I generally don't mind; They never shape my nails to my toe, they instead shape to the nail leaving a good amount of them crooked, but I get to relax which is my main goal so I make an exception. This appointment I was paired w Joanne. Things started out okay until she starts cutting my cuticles. On both of my big toes, she went so deep into my sidewalls it felt like she was cutting the skin under my nail plates. I start to worry a little but didn't want to micromanage, especially this early into an appointment so I just pushed through the discomfort. Then she starts painting the base coat and I noticed a decent heat spike on my left big toe that felt as if gel was being cured to my sidewall. I figured I'll just fix it when I get home if she doesn't, and again, not to micromanage. Then once she moves on to the French tips, she uses the basic, *paint the entire toe then remove the excess with heaps of acetone* method which is not my preference due to contact dermatitis but I digress. She spends extra time on my left big toe, to which that same left sidewall starts burning where she cut way too low. The pain starts becoming unmanageable so I ask her to "Please stop using the acetone on my toe because it is starting to burn." She nods and continues doing exactly what I'd asked her to stop. I lean closer and softly exclaim while pointing to my toe "Please no more on this toe. It's burning, I'm in pain." She says, "Ooooh okay!" Then goes back in towards my toe w the brush. I stopped her again and got louder in case she simply couldn't hear and said, "It is burning me. No more acetone." She proceeds to ignore me so I raise my voice again and say, "It's done! No more! My toe is burning! Move on!" She tried once more before I yelled, "NO!" until finally she moved onto the right foot after letting out a loud sigh. The right big toe had the same lroblem but after the hassle it took to get her to stop the left toe, I just accepted defeat and was just painstakingly waiting for this service to be over. The massage begins and I was at least relived the painting was over and the relaxing part was about to begin. Then she starts gripping my legs with the strength of a thousand Hulks. It was already getting pretty painful after a very short amount of time on only one leg so I already knew this wasn't gonna be pleasant. It felt like the longest massage on the planet but I wasn't keeping track because my face was clenched shut, and I'm just squirming all over trying to power through. My legs were still sore from my appointment over 6 hours later. When I got home, I feel around on the left big toe to see why it was STILL in so much pain. Mind you, I had not touched my toenails in over a month besides buffing the shine off my previous pedicure, so they were nice and strong ahead of my appointment. Now the entire left half of my big toenail is paper thin and incredibly flimsy to the lightest touch, especially closest to the spot that was burning from the la and acetone. The other side of the nail, still being rock solid from the original strength I walked in with. There's barely enough nail plate left, even with the gel, to protect my nail bed from even the slightest of pressure, let alone the chemical reaction of curing gel polish. It's been almost a month and I'm still so upset about this. I'd spent nearly 7 months regaining natural strength in my toenails after years of gel and Joanne did significant damage to all of that progress. Toenails grow in half as fast as fingernails so this is gonna take quite some time to not only just grow that damage out, but to retrain that side of my toenail to grow back in properly w/o risking further damage or pain. With this experience I've learned that the posture pain is not THAT bad compared to the chance of risking the integrity of my nails, and if you want the job done correctly, don't trust a salon to do it! Update: The manager reached out to me with full compensation and many apologies that was greatly appreciated. Joanne will remain at the salon. read more

My last two pedis at my old place didn't last nearly as long as usual, so I tried Sunny Nails. I've had two pedis there now, and both looked nice and lasted a long time without chipping. The price is $10 higher than my last place. I don't mind because I've always felt pedicures were very underpriced for such a labor-intensive service. But it is on the high end for my budget. I love that I can book via text. Parking is easy. The place is large, clean, and air-conditioned. They offer drinks. The color selection of regular polish is decent. They set a timer for the massage. They don't polish the cut edge of the toenail (in my experience), which is a finishing touch I really appreciate. I'm sure they'd do it if I asked, but I rather not have to. read more

I have been coming to this place for about three years now. I have so much trauma from going to crappy email places and I absolutely love this place! They always see me on time they are appt based and can do walk-ins, but the quality and care is phenomenal. I have never had my nails done badly here. If you're looking for a new place I highly recommend you try! They also do nails on my kids, which is a nice touch! read more

Pedicure was Awesome, Polish has stayed in tact. All the staff was super nice. This review is mainly for the Pedicure. However, the European Manicure not so much. I use to get them all the time.

I'm just so happy with how my nails turned out. Lanny is a perfectionist and really took her time to fix my nails. I had previously gone to a cheaper nail salon who really just left my nails in bad shape. I decided to try Sunny Nails because of the good reviews. Lanny was my nail tech and she really had to work some magic to get my nails to where she did. They turned out better than what I had imagined, and came out so pretty. It was to the point where I wanted to leave them looking natural instead of putting color. She did convince to use a slight color and I'm glad she did. I definitely found my new go-to nail salon. read more

I went to get acrylics off and they were busy so instead of protecting my nails she ripped every acrylic off painfully. I had my real nails painted. It's been 4 hours and four nails already are chipped. It has turned into a chop shop. UPDATE: to Randy since it wouldn't let me reply to your comment. I had an appointment under Jessica at 1500 today. He looked in your book and asked me if I was Jessica, so yes it is there. And I checked in on your iPad at 1500. The woman that was doing my nails had her phone to her ear the last half of the appointment and didn't even ask me if I liked the nails. Then she rushed to her next appointment, which has her sitting on your first row of nail desks third one from the left. She was even more irritated when she had to come back to fix one of my nails. I said thank you and she rushed off not saying a word. read more

My husband and I love Sunny Nails! The staff is excellent, the entire shop is clean and beautiful.

First time trying Sunny Nails & Spa, I called while on the road and they were able to get me in immediately. Salon and the service performed were both very sanitary. My tech (though I didn't get her name unfortunately) did an amazing job resurrecting a bad acrylic set from a previous salon. The shape is gorgeous and the French tip is exactly how I asked. I will definitely be returning and getting her name to book again! read more

I'm a regular here and recently had a unique situation that was ultimately fixed. I came in with long natural nails, but one (my pointer finger) had broken. Lina had a great solution and did an amazing job matching it with an acrylic extension--you can't even tell in the photo. That said, if you're in a similar situation, I'd recommend asking for Gel-X instead of acrylic. The acrylic ended up feeling loose and didn't hold well, so I had to come back before leaving for a trip. To their credit, Sunny Nails squeezed me in the very next day. Another technician quickly assessed the issue, removed the acrylic, and replaced it with Gel-X (a full, strong nail--not just a tip). The result was flawless--she shaped it beautifully, and I was able to enjoy my trip with perfect nails. The only downside was the experience during the fix. The technician seemed frustrated, didn't respond to my thank you, and abruptly turned off the blue light and walked away without acknowledgment. It felt a bit uncomfortable--especially since I had already paid extra for the initial service and had to come back. Overall, they made it right, and I appreciate the quality of the final result--just wish the customer experience during the correction matched it. read more

They offer a complimentary drink to everyone, alcohol, tea, water etc. They have a huge selection of colors, I love sparkles and they have so many it's hard to choose! The pedicure is always fantastic and they even have a timer set when they are doing the massage, which is great to get your moneys worth! Prices I think are super reasonable, and the quality work is 5 stars! They always do a fantastic job. No complaints here! Glad I found my new spot! read more

Best customer service. Lily has become my go to PRO. I request her everytime, I want perfection. She my amber gel. And it's always perfect.

I've been come here several times and have loved it. I used to get dip powder manicures, however had to stop because each time they took off the color, a layer of my natural nail came with it, and became too painful to keep going. So one my natural nails healed, I decided to try gel. Sadly this only lasted 3 days and it's already chipping. Update:. I received an immediate response with an offer to come in and fix my nails. Their costumer service is exceptional! read more

Lynn did such a good job! She pays close attention to detail to each nail which makes them last 3+ weeks between fills. I always get great pedicures as well! I appreciate them always being well staffed so I can get my nails and toes done at the same time so I can get in and out quickly:) read more

i felt like i had to update my 5 star review after my past 3 experiences Usually i get gel manicures by Mia, who has always done a fantastic job & ive had great experiences with her so far. No complaints. But the past 3 times ive come, ive been cut. I got a gel manicure on Wed night 1/15 6pm by Judy & got a cut on the edge of my pinky from filing too quickly, when my nails are already short. I wish she was more gentle or went slower when filing, given that my nails are already short. It stung when alcohol was applied. Prior to that, i got a manicure & pedicure by Kevin, where i also got cut both services, either from drilling or cuticle trimming. I'll most likely only go to Mia from now on since i havent had good experiences the past 3 visits. read more
