Chou is the absolute BEST and my nails always look amazing!! The entire team is so nice and I always feel so welcomed!

I am not impressed with shiny nails. I was there a few weeks ago and will not return. I was traded oI three times during my visit. cut twice with the drill, and the manicure did not last. 2 weeks later and my dip manicure is chipped and two nails broken. read more

I have been going this salon for 12 Years. Lisa started a great bus and sold it to Tony. Tony recently sold the business. Before the new owner room over, Tony made an appointment for me. He advised me to have mani/ pedi done one day before my trip. I called one day before my appointment to see if I could move it up from Friday to Saturday. The message on vm stated that the salon is closed until September 18 and callers could call to reschedule. What a terrible way to treat established customers! I am beyond annoyed and will not be back. Tony and his staff did a great job and I wish them well. I will not support this new owner. Fortunately, I was able to get in at Heidi's in Lakeville. It's a lovely, calm salon. read more

Everything is new in shiny nails! The new owner is very sweet and does a wonderful job. There's also plenty of colors to choose from, and all the products are brand new as well. Also the relaxing, fresh vibe with smooth jazz music made me feel like I was on vacation read more

One of the best pedicures I've had in a co long while. She scrubbed off all my calluses without upselling me on a more expensive service. Included Hot rock massage. . My husband liked his pedicure too. Price was reasonable. Deducted one star for the manager's noisy children while we were trying to relax. read more

An amazing experience. Tony and crew do an amazing job. I highly recommend the premium treatment. It is a good way to relax and unwind.

Did an absolutely fantastic job. I needed to find a new nail salon and they were great! Very clean and friendly staff!! Definitely going to make it my regular nail salon Edit; two days later my nails started to chip and peel it looks bumpy and rushed read more

Shiny Nails - Black stillleto Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

Wasn't super clean. $30 for pedicure. Made us wait a little. Pedicure was fine. Fine if in a pinch.

I chose this place because it was closer than my normal salon. I chose to get a full set of acrylics and wanted a specific design. I pulled up the picture on my phone and asked her if she (manager) could do the design. She said she could, and I (very politely) said I wanted it exactly like the photo (very small snake on one nail with no details or anything) and that I would be okay just picking a plain color if she didn't think she could do it exactly the same. She said she could. Alas, it was not even close. The line Varried in width and was more of a thunderbolt than a snake. I said well, that's not really what I am looking for and she wanted to try again. She tried a couple more times and I said let's just do plain color. She said she would make a nice pattern for me and I was just tired of going back and forth at this point so I agreed. The pattern was not symmetrical or even with the other finger at all. I got out to the car and noticed that there was acrylic going off my mail as well as a lot of unevenness and bubbles. My fingers also has a couple of small nicks from where the nail grinder had slipped. It's was also more expensive than the normal place I go to :( They started gel polish started peeling a couple days after I got them too read more

Great massage during a pedicure and a beautiful fresh set! Clean and friendly environment read more

Today was my first time at this establishment, and also my last. My friend and I went in to get pedicures and both were highly unsatisfied. They are reckless with how they trim, file, and paint nails. My heels look and feel worse than when I came in. read more

For the price, not worth it. I have very thin nails that break easily so I get a dip manicure everywhere I go I've never had a problem before, but for $45 this manicure was pretty bad. The brush the manicurist used for the base was old and split leading to uneven application, and the result is groovy and rough and 5 coats too thick. She neglected to trim or shape my nails at all, and it was very rushed. The tools also did not seem very sterile as they were just in a Tupperware container and clearly had been used on another person just before me. I won't be going back to Burnsville for nails. read more

We went there on a whim and I will be back. They did a great job on the pedicures my daughter and I got that day.

Lisa is absolutely amazing at what she does! Went here with my bridesmaids for my wedding and felt like they were there to make sure our nails were perfect! read more

Stopped in last night for the very first time and I have to say, you guys are so amazing!! Thank you for taking care of my toes and for the first time in years - a manicure wow wow wow read more

Had a lovely relaxing pedicure on a cold snowy evening. Haven't had a predi since Covid and my nail tech did a great job cleaning up cuticles . Great foot massage as well. read more

This place rocks. Their prices are extremely affordable and their service is FANTASTIC. I've gotten pedicures there multiple times now and it is the BEST experience. Their massages and hot stone services are wonderful. They do not force the "cheese grater" treatment on you and all of their products smell lovely. At our last pedicure, I asked if we could come in a 1/2 hour before closing. We'll be bbbbbbbaaaaaaacccckkkk... Thank you, Shiny Nails! read more

This is a strip mall priced nail place that treats you like an upscale salon. I've been going to shiny nails for years. At first, it was a place for me to meet family from Northfield and now we all go there because it's the best. While there are a ton of other places near my house, I drive to Burnsville because it's that good. They have awesome new chairs, are super careful to keep things clean and go the extra mile for all services performed. Even when I've paid for a massage, I've never had as good of a foot / leg rub as they give during their pedicures. It's magic! They even finish off their pedis with a hot stone massage. Like an upscale salon, they take time to learn your name and talk to you. It's not like a nail factory, although they charge the same as the other places with that sort of environment. read more

Honestly the owner didn't listen to me when I told her that her idea wasn't going to work for what I wanted... my nails look nothing like I wanted and honestly I get more annoyed the longer I look at them bc they look tacky and way too thick and none of the nails are even whatsoever... I'll never go back again read more

I just got back from my first experience at Shiny Nails. I just had to write a review (I don't write many). Staff was laid back and pleasurable. The owner (I believe) is a riot. I had gel polish done for the first time. I did a lot of research prior to having this done as I have paper thin nails and do not appreciate having to wait 6 months to regrow my nails if damaged (such as with acrylics). I would recommend reading reviews and doing some research before having this done for the first time as not all gel polish products or technicians are the same. (i.e. http://www.alllacqueredup.com/2010/01/talk-soak-off-gel-nail-polish.html) Some polishes will not soak off they have to be peeled and filed off-- my nails are so thin, there is nothing to file. They are so thin they still bend even with gel polish on- which I prefer as this feels more natural to me. I am having no trouble at all typing this.) I don't feel as though I have fake nails on at all. I was very pleased to find out that they do not file the top layer of your nails to apply gel product here and they use a "soak off" removal product called Gellish (I believe) with a fair variety of colors. As a busy single mom of a disabled kid I am hoping gel polish will solve my issue of not having enough time to manicure my own nails and this place is also within my tight budget. I was told polish will last at least 10 days but the woman next to me having it done told me hers lasts up to 3 weeks (if you don't mind a chip or two in between). This is huge for me as the only downside (aside from time/cost) of having your nails done in a salon is that you HAVE to go back to repair a chipped nail because you don't have that color at home. Also, once the gel cures (sets) it really sets. The color and the gel are completely dry so no need to worry about nicking a nail after you leave. There were women in there coming in from pretty far so that says a lot to me. No need to get luxury upgrades as the base service is equivalent to full service experience (pedi includes hot stone massage $25 and gel mani includes parafin wax= $30 regular mani= $12 (not sure if wax is included in regular mani- will update) or $35 if you get mani and pedi at same time). I did a french manicure so I can't speak for their fancy freehand skills but if that is what you're into, I suggest staying out of the burbs and heading over to U2 nails in MPLS on lake and Chicago. They are the best and most affordable at freestyle acrylics in the Twin CIties- from what I have seen and heard. example if U2 Mpls' work http://springpadit.com/katrinbachmeier/bacf708e/cd89/49b2/87dc/a1cfc238e45c Bring cash or figure out how much you plan to tip before they run your credit card as there is no place to write a tip. A comparable place (service and price wise) to Shiny nails if you're in the St. Paul area that my sister (who is very picky) is thrilled with is Happy Nails on Snelling Ave. I will update in 10 (or more) days to let you know if the Gels stand the test of time- although I think I am much harder of my nails than the average person. I'm so excited about my new secret in the Burnsville area. Oh ya, I almost forgot! If you check out their facebook page, I saw that they offer a student discount! example of Gel polish on 4/1/11 - http://springpadit.com/katrinbachmeier/99be6bd0/a9c0/4136/bdf1/caca133f90e7 read more

Just moved to Burnsville in search of a nail salon I found this place. I got my powdered gel manicure, but after 3 days the polish chipped, and my nails kept breaking. I went back to my regular nail salon in Saint Paul to get them re-done. Not happy with the results I got. I haven't had a problem with powdered gel until I went here. I think the formula is cheap, and they didn't have good color selections. Not worth it. read more

Always impressed with the service they do an incredible job. I have taken all my guests there when they come to visit us.

I love shiny nails. I have been going here for about 6-9 months now and I have never had a bad experience. The price is reasonable the facility is clean. They have a nice variety of colors to pick from and the staff will make extra details if you ask, like flowers for example. The staff always takes their time and uses care. I recommend getting the deluxe pedicure with hot stone massage and the deluxe manicure with paraffin wax! So relaxing I could actually fall asleep. They are accommodating to your needs. I have been in a huge rush and they got me in and out so fast, other times I want to relax and they really take time. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Good and reasonable manicure and pedicure. $39 for a mani, pedi, and eyebrow wax. The pedicure was really nice. The polish on my fingers was a little thin and only lasted three days. She did leave quite a few hairs during the wax, so if you want it perfect, this probably isn't the place to get waxed. Average service, friendly and attentive staff. If I'm in the area, and need something done, I would stop again. read more

I visited yesterday with my daughter for a pedicure as a walk in. I was welcomed by a very friendly woman who said they could help us right away. The salon was clean and neat. The technician was very kind and polite. She was so tickled with my 4 year old daughter that she painted flowers and put jewels on her toes because 'she is just so cute'! She took great care with all aspects of my pedicure and did a fabulous job. The prices were very reasonable. I got a Deluxe Pedicure for $37 that included a sea scrub, massage and hot stone massage. I will be back in the future even though there are other salons much closer to home. read more

I find the rest of these reviews difficult to believe. We have to be going to some place different. I've been getting gel manicures for a few years now and was not only grossed out by the changing (I.e. incredibly old) colors of the gel/shellac selection they have but by the entire experience. This has to be one of the worst salons I've ever been to. And that's not just talking about the fact that the colors were all very similar so the variety was lacking. Driving up to this place, I wasn't expecting much. It's a strip mall location and it doesn't get better inside. It is dated and absolutely disgusting. I had to request clean tools and even then, I'm not sure how clean they were. The bathroom smelled, the sink was entirely ringed where I went to wash my hands, and there were no clean brushes or towels to be found. I was traded off in the middle after waiting incredibly long in the beginning, so I'm not going to be forgiving in the fact that my design and manicure were lacking; the massage was weak and the gel itself was pitiful (most likely because it was old) and lasted barely a week. Don't go to this place. God knows you might be better off just staying m home and doing it yourself and it costing a heck of a lot less than trying to be up sold on crappy, old products like here. read more

Everyone here is so nice and they all do a great job. I've seen Tony, who is a riot, and Katy. She's very sweet and she did a wonderful job on my toes and my nails. I highly recommend this place. read more

This little place is a jewel! The customer service is down to earth and simple. They are getting new chairs, can't wait to try them out! Awesome message!! Worth every penny read more

I had a clear idea in mind of what I wanted done and Shiny Nails was able to transform my imagination into reality! The nail service was completed quickly and looked amazing. The woman doing my nails was very nice too! Will be visiting again. read more

First time there with Tony, great service!!! 2nd time with Tony- horrible service, he was in a terrible mood, I must have been inconvenient for him. I actually had to pull my hand away from the pain. I actually asked him if he was in a bad mood... I have been getting my nails done for years and know what is normal or not. He was in such a hurry the last time he did a crappy job and they looked awful, I was waiting for them to grow so I could go to a different place and have them fixed. I would NOT recommend this place anymore- they have gone down hill. And definably do not go to Tony on one of his "bad" days! read more

The lady that did my gel manicure was in a hurry. Dirty tools, messy/spotty application. Looks like I have crumbs under my nail polish. Friendly but for $30 I would not recommend. read more

One of the worst nail shop I've ever been to. They left polish residue on my nails and on my palm. I went for a regular manipedi. The owner lady did my nails, and the younger guy did my feet. The salon isn't pleasent at all. read more

Shiny Nails - One week after gel manicure by Lisa. Peeling on both ends & chipped (other hand too). - Nail Salons Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

The nail tech did not pay attention to what she was doing at all. Hit my hand several times with the nail file. Did a complete rush job. I was done before my friend, even though I started at least 10-15 mins after her. The tech did a really bad job with the gel nail polish. She put on so many layers that some were gloppy/streaky and instead of fixing them just put more polish on top. My nails are curved, thick, and unevenly filed. This place is way too expensive ($55 for a fill with matte finish!!), especially for the sloppy work they did. I had to file my nails at home to get them straight. Don't recommend. read more

I recently moved to the area and after trying a few local places Shiny Nails is the only place I will go! I travel for work every week and need to get my nails and feet done every 2-3 weeks or so. Amazing consistent service and beautiful results. Love that they are open early and on Sundays! I will not go anywhere else. read more

Very enjoyable experience my wife got a pedi and fill, I had the mani/pedi package. It took ninety minutes so we where there thirty minutes after closing time. The employees and owner showed no signs of being upset about staying late. The lady that did my services said they do have it happen a lot and it's not a problem. My pedi included things that would have cost more at other salons. They where very friendly and personable a top notch salon. Ten out of ten on all aspects of customer services and expectations. read more

This place was a joke. I walked in for the first time for an eyebrow wax and a very rude women told me to go wash my hands. I had no idea where since I'd never been there so she just pointed to the back like I should know where the sink is. Then proceeded to be bossy, condescending and short with me, interrupting me when I was trying to answer her question on how I wanted my eyebrows done. I was totally turned off from the minute I walked in and should have turned around and walked out. There weren't many customers there and now I understand why. Plus she did a terrible job on my eyebrows and just flew through it not even shaping them like I explained. Terrible first experience...will never set foot in there again. Don't waste your time..there's much better places around Burnsville to get an eyebrow wax. read more

Sally did a great job with the pink and white nails. She was very nice and careful. Would definitely recommend this place!

I went in for a simple manicure with clear (not gel) polish; was in town for a funeral and wanted to clean up my nails. They dipped my hands in paraffin wax before the polish was completely dry, so it had the texture of orange peel. All of he polish was cracking and peeling off within a day. They weren't busy, so I don't know why the rush, but choose another salon if you want a good job. On the plus side, my technician was friendly. read more
