About Shining nails π
On Brownlee Rd in Memphis, Shining Nails is a walk-in nail salon open Tuesday through Saturday and closed Mondays and Sundays. Pedicures include cuticle clipping and deep digging around the sides of the toes, and the salon offers fill-in services alongside full acrylic sets. Multiple techs work at once to keep up with a steady flow of customers, though waits can still run long, and customers are sometimes asked to sit in their car until a spot opens up. Parking is available on site.

Customer Review Summary
Pedicures anchor most of the discussion, with several reviewers pleased by the deep cuticle work and toe treatment while others describe a rushed pedicure with no product used and toes left rough. Fill-ins draw praise too, with one technician singled out for clean, thorough work and quick turnaround. Set against that is a recurring complaint about nails and rhinestones lifting or falling off within days, along with accounts of rude staff, a language barrier reviewers say went unaddressed, and being told to wait in the car before being seated. One reviewer reports a technician drilled hard enough to draw blood and responded dismissively when asked for alcohol and antiseptic, and another describes a technician's comments taken as racially dismissive during a service. Satisfied customers call the atmosphere welcoming and say they've made it their regular spot.

βThis was my first time visiting this shop, it was a man and woman working. The guy who did my fill in was extremely nice and did an excellent job on my nails. However, the lady who did my βrushedβ pedicure was rough, didnβt use product on my toes during the pedicure.β

βThis has been my nail shop for the last few months never had issues with service but I went in Wednesday,11/24/21 , They did an okay job on my pedicure but it was a problem doing my nails. The one who did them really acted like she didnβt know what she was doing. The other 2 techs were not helpful in trying to find a solution or help with the language barrier between me & the one doing my nails. I should have left then but I stayed. I had rhinestones put on 2 of my fingers . I paid $106 for my nails & pedicure. Within 2 hours of leaving, rhinestones were already falling off and I noticed they are crooked. Overall it was a bad experience, and a waste of time and money. Plus they are almost never on time opening. The pictures are of my nails on today Friday,11/26/21.β

βCovid-19 precautions were taken. Friendly service, ample parking and the wait time was consistent with the customers. Not to handicap accessible. Shining Nails is definitely my new go to spot!!!β

βThe staff in this place are ridiculously rude and unpleasant! When entering they don't greet you just immediately tell you a long wait then ask you to sit in your car! The pedicures are always bad and your nails break quickly or the acrylic β¦β
