I have been to this place many times and usually had the guys doing my nails, and I must say they do an amazing job. Today I made an appointment to get an acrylic set which they had told me is $29. So I went, got greeted by Stanley at the door (hes super friendly), I had a seat to get started. the nail tech was female (did not get her name) but she was super cocky, didnt speak with me and when she did it was rude and as if she hated her job. She asked if I knew what I wanted and I said yes, i showed her the photo and she would still ask the shape, no big deal. So as time passes shes not very good with the shaping and when I ask her nicely to make one part thinner or more like the shape of the rest of my nails she would get irritated. Wouldnt say anything but had a irritated look on her face. I was quite annoyed but still didnt really mind, it just got worse. When she was putting the fade for the color of sparkle i chose, she wasnt doing the fade affect properly!! I had to ask her to give a fade and she was just rushing to finish me up and get rid of me. So she did what i wanted but its not the way stanley and the other guys would do it. I didnt even need to tell them do this or that, i would just state what im there for and they would get it done. So im one step away from being done, but she says i gotta wait for the machine because the table beside us needs it, i waited about 7 minutes and when I was finally done, i go to the cash and she gives me a total of over $60. I was like what? You guys told me $29 over the phone and she tells me that the sparkle i wanted couldnt be done with acrylic and only solar and i told her that they were supposed to tell me because how was i supposed to know what she was doing was acrylic or not? Shes the nail tech! And after negotiating with a co-worker she said okay, $29 plus the sparkles $10, plus the gel coat $5, and your total after taxes is $51.45. What a rip off!! Totally not worth it. After the attitude she gave me and the rude treatment, i did not tip her because it wasnt deserved. She gives me my change and walks away without looking at me or saying bye. If I do ever go there again, I will make sure I book with one of the guys!! read more

I recently heard from a friend that there was a cray cray at Stanley nails! Excuse me for being nosy but I gotta stick up for my fav nail tech! I don't agree with Lisa lan whatever.. I've been going to Tracy for I would say about 3 years now and I love her from day one! Even when she's unhappy or sick, she would still always give me the best service as she can. I've never seen her give anyone attitude, even when she's pissed! I've been going to her for a while now so I know how she works. Very sweet and cute! Good at what she do! Very gentle! I love how she always ask is everything okay before she starts doing the next step. She always explain herself, such as the price of what I'm getting done and she gives me options. She's honest, not like other nail techs at other salons.. She would never trick me into doing something more expensive and she was just always honest.. Like when it's time for me to give my nails a break.. She would tell me. Not like other ppl who would lie and say that it's fine to put nails back on when your real nails are as thin as paper. Or when I want a new set when I don't need one, she would always convince me to get a fill, cuz it's better for my nails than taking them off, and also saving me $$! And from what I know, if I remember correctly, Tracy told me that she don't do the white powder tips. I remember one time I asked her, and she honestly told me that she's not good at it but If I want to get it done, then Stanley does it really nice she said. She's just the type that won't force herself into doing something when she know it won't turn out good... All my friends go see her and they all love her, they all said the same thing as I did...! So Lisa, I don't know what cha talking about.. I've had Stanley doing my nails before, on the days that Tracy is away, and yes he is fast but he's also at the sametime good.. Fast and good, what's the problem? and Hunny, it's STANLEY not STANDLEY ! Xoxo read more

Aww google reviews and Yelp ,today's version of the bathroom wall . First of all I call B/S to most of these complaints for I have been a customer here since it's opened . Every mistake (which has been twice ) they have corrected sans charge.They've made room for me in all my last minute bookings and their prices have been consistent throughout, as well as they have treated my daughter to complimentary pedicures when she has had to wait for me . I also love the fact that it's multicultural and at any given moment you can bare witness to someone's excitement getting a video call from home as well as the simple joys of when that babysitter falls out and the technicians child will cash you out and draw you personalized pictures to entertain you, while their mother picks at your feet . Everybody has good days and everybody has bad days . But to character assassinate people and their jobs is ruthless and cruel and to put it simply BULLYING, if you were that disappointed then request another tech , ask them to be quiet but don't tell people not to go somewhere and ruin a person's business! Even better give that tech chance to improve for the next time! Communicate !!!! I'm such a fan of all the people that work here ,I love the loudness and the quietness and all it's diversities ! See you soon xox read more

I was shopping at Bebe Metrotown last Saturday and saw this girl working there with beautiful nails and she told me she got them done at Stanley nails, outside of Metrotown. I checked out their website online and dropped by the same afternoon to get a fancy set of nails. I was greeted by Stanley - such a sweet guy. It was very busy but luckily he just finished with a client and was able to work on my nails right away. We went over with the designs I wanted, and he it didn't take that long before my nails were done. From chatting with him, I learned he started doing nails since he was 18 and have been doing it for almost 20 years. Hence, he is superb. The result is impressive and I'm loving my nails, can't stop looking at them. I got a solar silver/pink sparkle set with these lovely bows and the total was about $70. This similar set normally costs me over $100 at other salons. It's been 10 days and the nails still look fantastic and I've been receiving complements pretty much every single day on these nails. It's definately my new place for nails and I can't wait to get the next set done. read more

God. i had my nails done here by one of their men. And it seemed the whole time i was there, he was giving me attitude and was talking behind my back in their own language. I don't think he was the owner, but geez talk about being a diva. I asked for purple sparkle tips with a hello kitty design, not only did they buff my nails until i cried but the design he drew did not even look like an actual kitty. When i asked for my nails to be removed two weeks later, i phoned to inquire about the price and they told me it was $10 (they wedged this pick in between my nails, never have i been in so much pain) and when it was time to pay he charged me $15 and argued with me while the PRICE LIST was right behind him. After arguing with this drama queen, he proceeded to yell across the salon to his coworker and ask how much is it for removal, when the he said $10. He then looked at me and said "oh holy shit, I've been overcharging everyone by $5 all this time HAHAHA" sure their place looks spiffy with all these tvs and uniforms but seriously .... wtf...... never coming back here again. read more

I've been here maybe around 5 times now and I love it here! I found a place that I'll be going to from now on. Tracy is sweet, very gentle and does a fantastic job! Nice and thin! Just the way I like. I love her. If I can I would take her home with me and not have to worry about my nails being ugly anymore. :) I came in yesterday without an appointment so she couldn't do my nails, but that's alright it was my fault for not calling. The lady that did my nails was okay, didn't talk much. But poor Tracy, I saw her at the front, dealing with some girl who was uncontrollable. I don't know the whole story, but she was being unreasonable, and sounding like to me, she just wants a free set of nails! Very rude, calling her names and making unnecessary comments! I over heard her saying that she'll break the window and she said that she'll go online and write bad comments! Girls these days are so unreasonable! read more

Wow, the best nails salon I've been too. They just opened a few months ago, right across from Metrotown Center in Burnaby. My best friend took me there for the first time in July and I've been going back for my regular visits. Stanley does an exceptional job as he has over ten years experience. They've got all kinds of designer tips and designs from Channel, LV, Gucci and really wild designs. The staff are so friendly and service is wonderful. They all speak superb English (unlike a lot of other nails salon I've been too where they speak Vietnamese among themselves) The salon looks amazing and warm and the prices are lower than the competitions. Acrylic Full set is only $29, and UV Gel only $40. I highly recommend this nails salon to anyone who's been looking for one where they can stick with and be confortable everytime they visit. read more

I called this salon becasue it was close to where I live. A guy by the name of Mike answered and told me that I could get in right away. I was shocked. When I arrived, Mike ended up doing my nails. I have always had acrylic nails and have been fairly happy with them. Mike suggested to try solar nails. At first I was not interested in them because I am used to the price being high with solar. To my surprise, there price of solar was the same price of acrylic anywhere else. Mike took off the acrylic without wrecking my nail bed and put on the solar. I was presently surpised that he only charged me the price of the solar fill. Mike did an amazing job. After three weeks my nails are still looking good. Thanks Mike, I will definately be returning. I have truly found my nail salon! Keep up the great work. read more

Stanley is amazing. I walked by the salon and saw a few nail pictures and thought i would give them a try. Boy, I sure glad I stop by Stanley Nails that day, last Saturday. He's talks to you, asks you what nail designs you like, and keeps you entertained the whole time he's working on your nails. The result is spectacular. He says he's been doing nails for about 15 years, he doesn't even look 30, but I believe him after i saw the result with my nails. I love my nails thin and long and that's what i got, and the sparkle colours are just amazing. I will be coming back in a couple of weeks for sure... Oh, check them out on Facebook - Stanley Nails. They've got thousands of pix of the nails they did. They took a picture of my nails and hope they'll tag me. You will not be disappointed. read more

Have been to Stanley Nails at for the past year and always leave happy. Nina below commented saying it's a low end nail salon... NOT true at all. It's a very nice salon, and the girls there i find are always friendly and good at what they do. I've had pedicure from all the girls and they're all great. Stanley does my nails and I've always done solar nails - it's healthier than acrylic and does not turn my nails yellow. He does the best job, that's why I haven't gone anywhere else since I my friend took me here. They openned a second location on Commercial Drive a couple of months ago and the place looks gorgeous. I still go the Burnaby location as it's closer to my place. I hightly recommend Stanley Nails if you're looking for a good nails place. Great service and great result. read more

Love love love. Saw their work on Facebook and Instagram and decided to check them out and I'm so happy I did. They have thousands of designs you can choose from, or can create the design you have in mind. If you're into Shellac or gel nails, they've got lots and lots of colours for you to choose. The pedicure chairs are fantastic and the staff are friendly. I've been to stanley nails about half a dozen time and I leave very happy each time. If you're looking for a great one, check them out! Just posted a couple of pictures i saw on their facebook page. They're so beautiful. that's where i get my inpiratioons for my next set. read more

i have an addition with getting my nails done for many years now. I have been to a lot of different nail salon in Vancouver and Burnaby in the past but since I was introduced to Stanley Nails by a girlfiend about a year ago I have not been to any other nail salon. I've gotten my nails done by Mike, Vincent, Tracy and they are all excellent, but Stanley is my favourite. All are extremely friendly and easy going, all speak English and I feel like I'm hanging out with my friends when I'm there. They offer great service, excellent resutl and prices are reasonable. read more

Agree with one of the comments. This place is your typical stereotypical vietnamese low end nail salon. I was there for a new set of solar nails. My set of nails turned out horrible. The nails were not filed properly and the length of my nails were all different. They claimed to use Shellac nail polishes and it turned out they were just using cheap unknown nail polishes that can be found on eBay for $4-$5. My nail technician was chatting with her friend while doing my nails. Staff are not professionals and I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Best nail place i have ever been too! ive been to many salons before and they all do such a bad job. Nails can be expensive but i prefer spending that money for quality and Stanley nails is the "Go To" place. i have been a regular client for many years. Stanley & Tracy are very talented and super nice, i always ask for them. I have never had a problem with this salon. Its spot on every single time. Great service, Fair price, Friendly and homey environment. I highly recommend everyone to come here! read more

This is the best Salon I have visited in Burnaby! When I came here my nails were atrocious due to previous salons work. jay at Stanley took the necessary time to clean up the mess left from other so called nail professionals and I left with fantastic looking hands- I will be a very loyal customer- not because they offered me a glass of wine (nice touch!) but because their work is 100x more professional than the surrounding salons and the place is beautiful and clean! read more

Iv been going to Stanley nails highgate for 11 years now. They have always treated me like family. Iv made friends with many of the workers there even Stanley himself. They treat everyone equal and with respect and when I walk in i feel comfortable every time. The atmosphere is amazing and they are very talented on what they do. Would definitely recommend it. I go to the highgate one, Iv also been to the Metrotown one as well. read more

This was my first time at Stanley nails, nice and clean place as well as tools, I saw KIMMY I am also a nail tech and I know when someone does a good job, she's amazing and if your picky she's great to go to, her shaping is awesome and she has the eye for details, love my nails and love her, great attitude she's funny and makes you laugh, will continue to go to KIMMY!!! read more

Great staff and very welcoming! I've been coming here for years now and if I don't like a nail tech then I find another and they're all good with that. It's a fun place to be. They made me feel like I'm family there now. I would highly recommend them they got everything covered from nails to lashes to waxing!! Perfect spa place for an event!! read more

Love this salon. Been looking for a good nail salon since I moved here and finally found this salon through Facebook. Great service and atmosphere and prices are very reasonable. Love all the photos of what they've done, but I can tell them what i'm looking for and they're able to create designs I want. Love love love :) read more
