did my nails, by the time I got out of my vehicle a nail broke, I went back early the following morning, which it seemed no one wanted to do the repair. Claudia the owner decided to do it, i was shock when she charged me when it wasn't even 24hours. also I keep telling them they apply the acrylic so thin, to break so they can over charge customers. I NEVER had a nail technician charge me for a nail repair within 24hrs. especially when that customer is consistent . I won't be going back as I don't think I was treated fairly. Also they are so over price, when ur nails keep breaking, or keep chipping, even with no chip. read more

Today my caregiver and I went to Shiny Nails for service. I received a manicure and pedicure. My caregiver received a pedicure Everything was okay until I observed one of the nail techs picking both of her nostrils. She had her fingers so far up her nostrils, I thought she's going to damage her brain. This went on during the complete time my fingernails were being polished. She finally stopped start touching things around the shop. I told them what I observed and she need to wash her hands. They tried to act like they didn't understand what I was saying. She, the picker said. I did wash my hands. NO SHE Didn't. No Kleenex , No Hand Sanitizer and most certainly she did not wash her hands after engaging in her nostrils. She wipe them on her pants. They just lost 2 customers. I never write reviews but I couldn't turn my head to this behavior. The people working in the shop didn't care. Be aware out there. I thank God she didn't touch me. However this maybe all of their behavior. People wash your Damn Hands. read more

Emma gave lousy service. A pedicure costing $30, and I can't get my cuticles taken care of. I can't get my feet scrubbed, dead skin removed without asking for it to be done. She did not remove the polish from off my baby toe. I had to ask her. She was about to polish over polish that was already there. I won't mention the sorry job she did on my hands. It was a gel polish change. I'm just over it, and I won't be back. I am only giving them a star because I have to. read more

Erik is amazing! He always does a perfect job on my nails! Service is always quick, friendly, and attentive! The place smells amazing too! This is THE BEST salon in town! read more

It blows my mind how we go to these different establishment, nail shops, braiding places and they want to charge TOP dollar. But gives shitty work and services. Explain to me how you get mad because you want to do my nails with tools you used on the customer before me. I should call the health department. This is how germs and infections are being spread. So basically they want me to pay 75.00 to get a foot fungus or even worse. SMFH. at this point I need to learn how to do it myself. IM PISSED OFF read more

Terrible service/job!!! I went on a Saturday morning. It was 10:45am I got seated, she worked on a full set for 5mins than she stepped away for 10 mins to service a client on eye brows, she did this to me 3 times. That was just not it. The job was terrible. I got bubble booty nails. I hate them so much. I would never recommend this place ever. $50 smh never ever read more

I've been here a few times before since I spend my summers in homewood with family, and each time before today it was just mediocre. But today was bad. I come in and they just look at me as if i interrupted them. He tells me to pick a color and I wait. A older man I hadn't seen before seats me and proceeded to have an attitude during the entire visit. He would take the buffer (if that's the right term?) and cut my cuticle repeatedly, I'd flinch and he would just pull my finger back and continue to do it in the same spot. He was aggressive with my hands as if he didn't want to be there and huffed and puffed the whole time he was shaping my nails. One of my worst experiences at a salon. Avoid if you can !! Now it hurts every time I wash my hands because of the cuts . Btw his name was Tony. read more

To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. My no chip polish chipped two days after I got them done. Went back and they fixed it. Later that day, I noticed another nail polish was lifting. $43.00 For nothing. read more

Great place. I got there later than I should have. (I didn't know they closed at 7:30 because I stumbled up on this place. ) The women were very nice. The men were gruff. The lady who gave me my pedicure did a great job. I will go back tomorrow to get my nails done because I was too late to get both services. I hope I will. read more

Shiny Nails and Spa - Nice ambience! - Nail Salons Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

3 Strikes and I'm Out... I've been to Shiny Nails & Spa 3 times and my experience has always been poor. I live walking distance to this salon so I was elated that a place opened up so close to me since I work from home most days. The 3 times I have visited for a pedicure, I always get the rudest nail tech, I believe his name is Tony. He is rude, very abrupt, and he acts as if he doesn't want to touch feet. Granted, he doesn't have the most glamorous job but you're working. in. a. nail. salon. as. a. nail. technician. It's not the career for you if you don't like touching people. Today was my 3rd and last time going to this salon. I will not spend my money and be treated badly. I will continue going to the salon near my downtown office. read more

Should've checked the Yelp reviews 1st, the Google reviews were misleading. I came in just to get my cuticles touched up. The main nail tech told me he'd ruin my existing polish by doing that because he'd have to file them. I said it would be okay to repolish then and I was fine with filing. He polishes my nails and they looked awful. He claimed that because I was doing a color change that meant uneven polish. No sir. You filed my nails so they became uneven and proceeded to polish my nails terribly and charged me $30 for telling him to file off his shitty polish job. I was with my grandmother so I didn't want to go off completely and just paid even though he ruined my nails and shouldn't have gotten a cent. Ugh. read more

First time here. Came in for a repair and left with a full no chip! Eric was great, I had questions and he answered and explained everything! My nails look great! And their prices are VERY reasonable read more

If you're black, don't go. They don't like black people and cater to the white people. They'll take white walk ins before they take a black person who has an appointment. Don't believe it? Find out for yourself. Good luck. read more

Asked for color match and of course I get outside and they don't. Promptly asked the manager and he says you pick out the color? Yes and you said you could color match, they don't match. Just a shrug of his shoulders. No offer to fix a refund nothing. Thought I had found a new salon, I guess not. I wouldn't recommend a place that refuses to fix their mistake. read more

Shiny Nails and Spa - These colors don't match! Color match my a$$! No offer to fix or refund. Thought I had found a new salon, I don't think so! - Nail Salons Near Me - Homewood, Illinois

I've been going to Shiny Nails for a couple of years. I've never had a bad experience. Sometimes there is a wait for service, but it is a pleasant place to wait; Always clean, no TV blaring, peaceful music. Regular clients are greeted by name by owners Eric and Kim. It is all around a nice little spa break and you leave with your nails looking great! read more

This place is awful! Now there is one guy who actually does pretty good nails. But overall their attitudes are an abomination to humankind. It's as if they don't even respect the African American community. We are the ones who pay their bills and we still leave tips when they haven't earned it. I am guilty of still tipping even with awful service but that has ended on my last visit. My visit was so terrible that all I could think was get these people out of business who survive on our pockets but despise our very existence. read more

I went there for a pedicure. I didn't see them clean out the pedicure bowl but assumed it was cleaned after the last person got out of it. Once my pedicure was complete, the employee did NOT clean the bowl...in fact, none of them did after the last person left the bowl. I sat and watched as I was sitting under the dryer. The tech that did my nails left and never cleaned anything. The flip flops given to me were extremely dirty on the bottom so I was going to throw them away. On my way out the door, the owner saw the flip flops and toe dividers in my hand and asked for both of them back. I said excuse me? She said can you give me that back? I gave them to her and knew I would never go back. Here I am, wondering why my feet look like they do and it's because of that unclean salon. Please do not go there or take anyone you love to that unclean facility...I would give them no stars if I could! read more

The place is clean, quiet and relaxing. There are no TV's, so it's a great opportunity to unplug for a little while and listen to the soft music they have playing. Christy was my technician; she is young and spoke perfect English. She did a fantastic job on my gel polish (no chip) manicure; she was very gentle. I am writing my review 1.5 weeks post manicure and my nails still look great. I can't comment accurately on wait times as I went in the middle of the day on Friday. That said, I sat right down and was out the door, nails done, in 40 minutes. read more

Nice place. Did a great job. The guy that did my nails is the owner. He definitely did a great job and made my nails look really nice! The only thing keeping me from giving them a 5 star is the fact that the owner is the only one that does the full-set and fill-in's. He kept another customer that came in after me waiting while people that came in after her we're getting serviced. Other than that, this is a good place and I will come back for my fill. read more

I've been going to Shiny Nails and Spa for some time now. I honestly should have wrote a review when I first started. My services were excellent. I couldn't get enough of this place. I raved to everyone this was the best place in the south suburbs (at least it's better than CiCi Nails in Tinley but that's just an entirely different review) Not that the owner and his family are not nice--they are! They are not rude or anything such as that. I have just noticed the service is not as good as it use to be. Also, I have never gone in to ask for something be repaired if my nail chipped the very day after I had the work done. It is in these instances when I think the service lacks a bit. Any other time we are being extremely pleasant to one another but I get it he doesn't like when people have to come back--trust me we don't like to come back either to say something happened the next day or even three days later. All in all this is a great place to go with friendly enough staff which are all family. I think some things can be improved- the new girl whose name I don't know, however, she does mostly pedicures doesn't polish that well in my opinion. I literally walked out of the salon thinking it was okay only to get home where I took a closer look to see so many flaws. It looked like I polished my own nails--I had polish all over the place- outside the nail bed. Some nails weren't fully polished. Won't have her do my pedicure anymore. I like Linda but she is totally preoccupied with everything other than what she is doing, she can't fully give the service the customer expects because she is too consumed with the door, or talking to the other techs. She really needs to focus on her customer better perhaps she would get better tips. Love love love Lee, he does an amazing pedicure! Love love love Henry but I don't think he's there any longer. Of course Eric and his wife are Amazing but they can't do all of the work. I think a customer service overhaul as well as paying more attention to the individual customer by not put them in the same bucket would do this salon great justice! Just my thoughts... read more

Received a manicure,pedicure and facial waxing. Was pleased with their services. Served lemon water and relaxed in the message spa chair listen to serene music No children or loud disruptive chatter. Moderately priced read more

I really wanted to write a nice review since the owner is quite friendly but since this is a nail salon and it's about nails, my review is based solely on the outcome of my nails. With that said, Kim, one of the owners did a great job on my pedicure. She took her time, make sure the nail polish wasn't on my skin, checked with me throughout the pedicure to see if I was alright, if I wanted a massage from the chair, etc. I have no complaints with Kim doing my pedicure. Unfortunately, her husband (who I didn't get his name) didn't do such a great job. I got a dip (powdered gel) manicure but ended up with nail powder and gel on my skin. When I asked if he could do my cuticles (I didn't care if they were cut or pushed back but SOMETHING needed to be done) he told me "let's see how they look after the gel"... so I sat and figured ok maybe it is done differently here so let me let the experts do their job... what do I know about nails ?! ... so needless to say, my cuticles never got done, my nails look sloppy like I did them myself, he never put lotion on my hands to run my hands/forearms, nor did I get a short massage (which I am fine without). What also stunned me was that he never soaked my nails prior to beginning, no prep was done to my nails. It's sad to say that I can NOT recommend this salon and believe you will be overpaying for the outcome. Please take the time and find a different salon for the type of money you will be spending on your nails. I walked out extremely disappointed which is not the way I walked into the salon, which was excited, ready for a relaxing getting my nails done with my hubby. To the owner: Please try to hire people that this is their craft. You have potential to have a nice salon with the right employees... read more

Horrible nail salon! Terrible customer service. I told my nail tech that he was hurting me and he did not care. My nail tech made fun of me multiple times and even made my thumb bleed. Not once did he say sorry! Also, my nails constantly break! He says he uses gel powder and I always get no chip but I always come back to fix broken nails. I never break nails so clearly they aren't using quality products. This is my review after having gone here 5 times. I will say that Lee is so nice and does a great job. The other guys in there are terrible. Haven't had any of the women do my nails. I wanted to like this place because it's close to me, but I refuse to give them any more of my money. read more

Very rude. I had a young lady named Tina and she made me feel so uncomfortable. Everything was done with a attitude. The overall experience was horrible. Wasn't even asked to choose my color. was told to sit down dumped my feet in cold water. Would never come back nor refer anyone to this place. read more

Love this place, it's clean and quiet and they do a fantastic job on the OPI pedicure.

If I could have put zero stars I would have! This establishment is very incompetent and lack in quality and customer service. The owner Eric is very rude, racist, and prejudice. The darker your skin is the worse you are treated. I went there just recently and was treated very poorly and when I asked about no chip polish ERIC (The owner) did not want to tell me the price and treated me as if I couldn't afford it. They charge everyone a different price for the same service depending on how much money they think you might have. I speak Vietnamese and they speak poorly about everyone in the shop in their language (Vietnamese). I will never go back here again! read more

WHAT NAIL SHOP OPENS FOR BUSINESS BUT ISN'T DOING NAILS??? Female tells me that they are ONLY DOING PEDICURES TODAY, but come back tomorrow or Manicure! ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! Why is there only one or two nail techs to begin with? Will definitely take my business elsewhere from now on. Too cheap to hire additional workers to support their clientele - they rather inconvenience their customers instead. By making them wait an hour for service or make additional trips - I Don't Think So! read more

I've been doing to Shiny for a little over a year, they always do amazing job. But yesterday I went in to get a full set. Eric has always done a good job on my nail but yesterday was the worst. I asked for coffin and a medium size. Not to long. Not to short. I tell him some of the nails are crooked and he continues to make it worse. Than I say my thumb is wayyy to short and he gets an attitude. I ask if you can like shave or sharpen it off but he says it haves to soak. So he cuts all the nails off and haves my fingers soaking in acetone for an HOUR. I had to leave. I was so mad. As of today. The acetone made my nails look acrylic powder still on my fingers. My natural nail is white and peeling off. Shiny has lost two clients. read more

I love the nice relaxing ambience of this nail salon. I frequent this location about every two-three weeks because they do good work, with a nice selection of regular and no-chip nail colors. I usually get the gel nails, eyebrow wax, and lash extensions. I especially like they way my brows turn out, now I trust no one else to do them. The only set-back with me is they are constantly pushing more services. If you ask for a manicure they ask if you want a pedicure; if you ask for a pedicure they push the no-chip. I understand wanting to make money especially as a new small family owned business, but after I have said no, leave the matter alone, and don't keep asking if I'm sure. The owner is really bad about this as he will keep repeating the matter, it get's a little annoying. All is all they are friendly people. If you are in the area do stop by, you'll be happy you did so. read more

The wait can be long but that's because they do a great job. Eric is one of the best! Also, no tvs just the relaxing music.

They do a wonderful job on nails, very relaxing pedicures. Clean, most of the technicians are friendly. There are no TVs, only quiet spa music. Pedicure area is dim, warm, and you're offered hot beverages. Overall a nice experience, pretty good service. Special shout out to Lee and Henry, they always take good care of me. NOTE: They do get busy!!! I've seen people waiting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour +. I usually make an appointment for after work (5:30) or I am there as soon as doors open on the weekend. read more

Atmosphere is nice, music is soothing,but the customer service is slow. I waited two hours for A simple fill in. I enjoyed the service and quick action because I needed to go and she accommodated that time constraint. If I go back it's because the other shops in the area are booked. read more

Waited for 45 minutes to get one nail fixed. The owner decided to take two people in front of me. Just because. I will NEVER come here EVER AGAIN. read more

This place is terrible!!! The lady who did my pedicure constantly starred at me which made me uncomfortable and after finding out I had no chip on my finger nails she stops, talks shit in her language and has someone else after minutes of delay do my nails. The manager does my polish change on my nails and tries to overcharge me for everything. $20 for rhinestones on TWO nails!! While getting my nails done other associates come and hover over me starring as she does my nails. This was the most annoying and rude experience I have ever had a nail shop and I believe I deserve a refund read more

Exceptional service! Very clean establishment. Friendly owners. I've found my new place for mani/pedis and eyebrow waxing. Great job!!

I just left this hell hole and they are the most ignorant business owners I've ever met. I live in the area and stopped coming here because I seen the owner Eric go off on a teenager because she didn't like her nail color! The worst customer service ever! Dont waste your time or money on this place. I only went together to get a nail fixed before I went to work and the OWNER who was doing NOTHING told me to sit and wait because he didn't want to do my nails? Ummmmm really? So I took my money and went elsewhere. This place is a JOKE! read more

Saturday's are normally busy for a nail shop. I waited an hour for a fill in. While waiting I asked if they do eyebrow waxing. The lady did a horrible job. And then tried filling in with pencil to cover her mistake. I sat down for my fill in and asked the owner who all does eyebrows? I told him the lady needs more practice, that I would never pay for brows at their business again. He proceeded to speak a foreign language with another technician but never apologized or offered a discount for my services. Bad business. I will not spend my money here again. Too many options in homewood! read more

Not impressed. Paid $49 for a standard pedicure and full set (not no chip). Time constraints made me get service. Otherwise would've gone to a shop with combo specials. Had to remind the nail tech to buff out the nails and put cuticle oil on. The entire staff was eating food on the floor and when I left they were giving each other pedicures. Just unacceptable. I give them 2 stars out of my gift of mercy. My advice...go somewhere else read more

This is the worst place ever!! The staff is rude especially the owner Eric and His wife Kim, I feel they don't like black people. I see how they treat them with no respect. Harsh and unpleasant words. Their Vietnamese. So their speaking their language the whole time you're there. Laughing and looking at you. You ask a question or want something different done to your nails or feet you're talked about in a bad way. I know a little of their language. It's awful!! I can't understand how a nail shop like this remains open for business. I feel blacks as a whole need to stick together and stop patronizing this place and they will go out of business. It's a shame how they feel they have a God given right to openly disrespect a person's character and you're keeping the doors open!!!! I've had my no chip come off the same day and Eric and Kim the owners refuse to redo them or give a refund. I had my nail to break because not enough of the product was put on. I have my nails be polished to hey home and see half the polish off on the sides. This is totally unacceptable!!! The way they talk down to you like you are worthless is a darn shame!!! I have even had to stand up for other people in the shop. Poor treatment. I've ask to see their license and was told by Eric he only shows it to the building inspector. I wonder if he really has a license to do nails or anyone else in that shop!! I've never seen one in there. I feel we as people need to stand up for what's right!!! Stop going here!! Clearly this place is not a good business for anyone to go to!! I never see any other races in there. Only blacks!! Which are treated horribly all the time!!! Enough is enough!!! Let's stand in numbers!! We can do this 2019 let's make a difference! Show them we can be a United front!!! I will never go back here again. Young people find another nail shop. You deserve better!!! Us old heads let's lead by example!!! So the younger people can be lead the right way. Slavery is over!!!! Let's do this!! Let's close this shop down!!! Stop going!!!! read more
