    Very unhappy with my nail service. Ive been going here for a few times now and will not be coming back. My nails do not look good.

    I started going to Shining Nails because it is one of the few salons open on Sunday. I kept going because of the exceptional service and... Well frankly, because they play Hallmark movies. Guilty pleasure. I have been a regular ever since. Today, I went in to get a nail fixed that I had broken. The technician happily fixed me up! I never have to wait, everyone always has a smile on their face, and I leave there feeling like 1 million bucks.

    The beauty of this nail salon is that it's fairly cheap and not high-end yet it hits all the "typical" salon qualities very well. Interior: clean and well decorated. There is a great selection of both gel and regular nail polishes that line the wall. The best feature that stood out to me was that the nail tables have built in UV lights. This is super convenient to just stick your hand under the table to set your nails; no more clunky, plug-in UV lights or fans! Service: equally as great. Even though the salon was busy when I went around Friday 12PM, there were enough technicians to quickly cater to all customers. My technician in particular was soft spoken but definitely knew what she was doing. She worked quickly and precisely on my full set of gel nails. My total came out to about $35 which is a decent price for what I got. At the end of the manicure I also received a cute stamp card that rewards based on amount spent! This is the first time I've seen a nail salon do this and it definitely persuades me to come back here again and again.

    They are friendly. I don't like the fact that they charge you 3% to use your card. It's an atm right there but it charges $2. Otherwise I like my nails, my daughter got hers done for the first time and she is excited and loves it.

    Acrylic nails 10/10, the ladies were so nice and made sure I loved my color when I picked it! Will definitely be returning, very reasonable pricing too!

    Bad nails

    Looking at the pictures form other reviews I thought I wouldn't have an issue with this place at all. I got a yin yang design of my middle fingers that the woman really struggled with. The polish isn't smooth and you can see the bumps and ridges on the surface. I also only went in for a fill and they told me I had to take my acrylics off and get a full set. I complied because their pitch was compelling but within the time I was there they said the same thing to every single other person that had acrylics on, and when I got to the register I found out why. They charge you an extra $15 to tear your acrylics off your nails plus the few extra dollars for the full set instead of the fill. They definitely like to take peoples money with very lackluster work and in a not so relaxing environment.

    Jenny did an amazing job on my Valentine's nails

    Always such a sweet staff! Very clean & excellent spa pedicures! Worth the extra 13$!

    my nails

    I LOVE shining nails! I am usually hesitant when i ask for a crazy design because most nail places can't do the design I want. I asked for the nails and the lady (i think her name was anne) told me she could do it. The nails i asked for looked very hard to do but she did a great job! Very friendly service and work extremely hard. Definitely recommend them! I also got my brows done and they came out perfect! She did exactly what I needed! I will for sure be going back!

    Looking into the comments I noticed Jenny's name several times, so I thought I might as well try this salon out.

    I had to try this place if for no other reason than the name of the salon…read more My stylist was concise, chatty, and friendly. She asked me what I wanted to do with my hair, assessed any damage, etc, and got to work. What I wanted was rather simple- to fix up my hair after growing it out from bangs/fix the layers. She razored rather well, and gave me blended layers. Nothing drastic, but essentially what I was looking for. The only thing close to a complaint that I have is the fact that not much came off my hair- an inch if that- and I was charged the maximum in the $30-45 range listed on the website. It was a little more than I was hoping to pay, but I think it was based on the stylists expertise level. From how fast and precise she got my hair I'd say she's quite seasoned, so I didn't mind the price tag. I just didn't know what to expect as a first timer.

    My wife and I got/get our hairs cuts done by Sheila. We use to live in Delaware and went there all…read morethe time. Then we moved to NJ and drive about an hour each way to get our hair cuts by her. We now live in Indiana and when we come to visit family we make appointments to have Shiela cut our hair. Its nice to have someone who listens to what you want. As a man trying to find someone who can cut and style a man's hair is tough. My wife wife tells her what she wants and that's what she gets. It is as simple as that. The online scheduling is also a plus.
