Asked for almond, every single finger veers to the right. They also put about 5 layers of paint making them so thick. Told him one was crooked and he seemed confused by it but tried to fix it and left with all of them looking like this. It took so long that my fingers were in excruciating pain, which is why I didn't go back and have him fix all of these. read more

The crew here at shiny nails is the best. My daughter takes me here when I come up for a visit and they are always great. We always have a nice time and they do an exceptional job. Recently they did a private time for my daughter's wedding with her bridal party ladies and I was there too. What a special time and our nails all looked fabulous!!! Thanks Shiny Nail Crew! read more

Credit card fee *** cash tips preferred ! My friend and I came in on a Thursday evening with no appointment. We were quickly seated in massage chairs and given waters. We got the gel ($55+) and regular ($37+) pedicures. All pedicures come standard with a hot stone massage which feels so nice! Regular pedicure you'll get the stone massage before polish and gel one you'll get after your toes are painted. There is plenty of selection of polishes and the staff is friendly. Typical downtown parking. You mess up your regular pedi up to an hour after painting we were warned. As we were leaving read more

I started getting my dip done here a few months ago. Aaron is the best nail technician I have seen in years. I have gone to 3 other places in Redwood City and none of them even come close. He is very meticulous and detail oriented. If you're careful enough to have thinner dip, he can do that. If you're super hard on your hands (like me) he can do them thicker while still making them look amazing. No weird thick spots, still thinner at the cuticle, very smooth, and all around excellent shaping. He is also gentle and regularly checks in with you to make sure the Dremel isn't too hot when removing the old dip. No cuts. No pain. I can get about 3 weeks out of my nails until they get too long and start to bother me. Highly recommend Aaron for dip. Color pictured was 7B (I think read more

This review is long overdue. I originally came here to get my nails done for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park! I got so many compliments and have since gone back to continue with the acrylic, which I normally don't maintain regularly. I've had so much fun trying new colors and designs. When I find a picture of something I like, I bring it in and they replicate it easily. They also have reasonable prices, especially for the bay area. If you're looking for a nail place, this is your sign to go here!! read more

Such sweet service and quality work. My wife and I went in for mani/pedis and we were very pleased.

Best pedicures. They make sure Im comfortable and price is great. All the staff is amazing Im a regular.

I wanted to try a new place to do my nails and I came here. I had pedicure and manicure. I asked for dip powder manicure. My pedicure turned out great. The manicure, not so much. Actually, I am very unhappy with the result, it looks so fake, so not like my nails at all. Not to mentioned that my nails hurt during the services and after. For pedicure I give 5*. For friendliness, I give 5*, for dip powder manicure, zero. I am really sorry, I am not trying to be mean, but how my nails look means a lot to me, or otherwise I can do them myself. $125 later and be - 5 unsatisfied with the manicure, it's a no. So... I will now have to go somewhere else to have them fixed. I do not trust this place to fix what they should have done in the first place. read more

Male nail technician was friendly but, one nail broke on 2nd day, and 2nd nail broke on 4th day. I haven't had a broken nail in over 20 years, and now 2 in 4days. Either using a cheap product or not applying thickly enough. Either way, will not be back. read more

They did a great job. They're very patient. It's not cheap but worth it. The nail polish lasts at least two weeks. read more

Got a manicure from Michelle and she was super friendly, attentive, and gentle. The place is clean, conveniently located with parking lots nearby, and I think more affordable than other places in the area. I think I'll be coming back! They seem to be OK with walk ins, I came on a Sunday at noon and there was no wait read more

I bring my 89 year old mother in law here. They treat her like a queen. Love this place - new chairs - attentive staff Great value read more

I stopped in for a French manicure with dip and asked them to only use dip, not a gel coating on top. I noticed I was having gel put on my hands after the dip base was applied, and asked for the French tips to be in dip - which I have done all the time elsewhere- and was told that gel would "last longer and look better." The tips came out very thick, but I was fine with how it looked. I didn't have the manicure for a day before the gel layer started peeling and chipping, so I went back in and staff fixed the chipped nail and were really nice about it. However, all my other nails are now peeling off. The gel seems either not good quality or was improperly cured. I'm bummed I let them move forward with gel and do not want to pay another $60 to get it redone elsewhere. read more

I love Shiny Nails! The owners, Aaron and Aimee, are so welcoming! If you like nail art book with Nina! Nina is a perfectionist and makes sure you leave the salon happy! She did my nails for a toy drive I am hosting, and I am in love! Thank you, shiny nails team!! read more

Now open by appointment! Shiny Nails took advantage of the enforced COVID closure and remodeled! Fresh paint, and brand new EVERYTHING, including all new massage pedicure chairs. Love this business, and always really happy with my pedicures. I'm exceptionally grateful for the one today, because the pedicures I've been giving myself for the least however many months were just not that great... I know this is ridiculous, but I still drive down here even though I've been living in SF for years! Recommend enthusiastically! read more

I'm usually one to go to a higher end spot for the ambiance but this is a great place for a quick and clean job, walked in randomly as I work in the area and needed a gel mani ASAP - Mai did a wonderful job and applied my polish extremely thin and meticulously for a great non bulky finish which is KEY. The ambiance is ok but no frills. She also fixed up my cuticles and all under an hour. Will be coming back. read more

Not only did it take over 2 hours to complete a dip manicure.. it started cracking and breaking within less than 1 week of getting them done. They started off pretty bad and I was worried but by the end, the nails looked okay and I thought it would all be okay until 3 days later when it all went down hill. read more

As promised here is my updated review (I previously visited Shiny Nails for eyebrow waxing). I decided to stop in for a pedicure on a Wednesday morning. When I arrived at 10:30 there was only one other patron, so I was promptly seated. I had the pleasure of having Holly give me my pedicure. What I liked: 1. No frills 2. No pressure 3. Excellent service 4. Great attention to detail 5. Thebomb.com leg and foot massage Most places will shove a menu in your face after you say you want a regular spa pedi and try and get you to upgrade to a variety of things, and before you know it you've racked up a $45 pedicure before the water even starts pouring into the basin! I noticed that with every single patron all of the manicurists/pedicurists didn't try to add things on. Holly was polite and super attentive. I loved that she gave me a bottle of water (I was thirsty, so it couldn't have come at a better time!) and when it came time to the foot/leg massage HOMEGIRL WAS ON POINT. I wanted to drool and cry but figured that wouldn't be too nice. As she was massaging my feet Rihanna's "Only Girl in the World" was playing, and seriously? That's how I felt! I definitely plan to come back here and I'm VERY, VERY sure that this is my new relaxing place! read more

These are the nicest people! They remember me and always ask about my family. The prices are reasonable and they take good care of me. Thank you Shiny Nails team!! read more

Amee does an amazing pedicure. She has great customer service and makes you feel really relaxed!

I come to get my nails done here every 2-3 weeks with my mom or my sisters. Great customer service and my nails always look amazing. They remember our family and always ask about each other. They definitely are a caring family. Highly recommend! read more

I have literally never asked for a shellac MANICURE and then had the nail tech say they don't do the hand/arm message after? Absolute BS. Will not be coming back. read more

Above and beyond!! Michelle did so great with my pedi. All my cuticles were removed and my nails looks so fresh and great! By far, this is the best nail salon in Redwood City & Menlo Park. As I've tried several nail salons already in the area. I can guarantee you that they will take good care of your nails. Happy Customer indeed!! Tried TOE before in Menlo Park but they're just too expensive. If you want an affordable yet same quality go visit this nail salon. read more

Do not recommend at all. Went to get my toes done a few weeks ago, and they did a good job. No complains there, but when it was time to pay they charged me $75 for a French gel pedicure..... I paid with no comment and left. Not even a week later my gel polish started chipping and peeling. It was a decent pedicure but charging $75 for a French pedi is pretty abusive and excessive, especially when it did not even last me a full week! Needless to say, I will not be coming back, nor would I recommend to any friends. read more

I feel bad for not writing a review sooner. My husband and I have been coming here for a while now to get pedicures. I've taken him to MANY places over the years for pedicures and none of them do as good of a job as this place. He comes because he loves the long relaxing foot massage. I would have thought the fancier place across the street would have been the better option for that, but nope! They don't even compare!! Aaron at Shiny nails always makes us feel welcomed! We love it here. Oah and they recently got some top of the line massage chairs in!! This place just keeps going up!! read more

I'm a long time customer of Shiny Nails, but had not been since Covid. I was extremely happy that they were open again and felt very comfortable while there today. All employees/customers were of course wearing masks and they had moveable barriers between customers in chairs and the nail techs. Customers were appropriately spaced out (mostly every other chair). There were liners for the pedi tubs and I saw them wipe down everything between customers. Also, super nice new massage chairs!! Would not hesitate to return and highly recommend! read more

Shiny Nails has been one of my favorite nail salons to get a pedicure at lately since they have a good selection of OPI colors to choose from, and the nail technicians are efficient but do a good job. I've only done the Deluxe Pedicure w/Hot Stone ($25, http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg&start=200&select=SjWstu_EK-M_W-LMAdplVg) which is a fair price for the Bay Area. The color always lasts me for at least 2-3 weeks, and I usually don't see a chip until after the 3 week mark. Reservations are highly recommended to avoid having to wait on the weekends. The best part about coming here is that there are plenty of restaurants on this street to eat lunch or dinner at before or after. Parking is the worst part since it can be challenging to find parking in this area, but metered street parking spots are available. read more

I went to Shiny Nails for the first time today and loved it! The massage for my pedicure was amazing. They use hot stones!I loved my dipped glitter nails! Of course it is pricey, but if they last long it will totally be worth it! I got red, dipped glitter on my hands, and then plain blue-y polish color on my toes (Christmas colors :) Jenny did my toes and was happy to file them when I asked for a different shape on my big toe haha. Very accommodating, nice, and patient! They took their time and did a good job. ALSO, they are following all covid procedures. They have a plastic screen in between you and the lovely worker. I'm happy they are open! I came from Gilroy, and we are closed up due to the virus. Glad to find a good nail place following covid restrictions, and still open. read more
