If you are going to charge $35 for a gel manicure, I'd expect a more upscale establishment. I didn't find this place clean, welcoming nor inviting but really needed a manicure. Would not return again. They do have an ionic foot bath so that's a plus. read more

One of the guys employed there is too rough. One example is when cleaning out the cuticles and under the big toe, he was rough and even when I jumped and told him it hurt, he continued doing the same thing. Also, went back to that area again before adding polish. It was very disappointing. When finished, my big toenail was also polished over and left with a split that was not fixed.

This is my favorite nail spot right now -- I've had the privilege to work with a few of the nail techs and all of them have done a great job. My favorite is Mindy and Mama (the owner who sits at table #1) they are both SO precise and have neat work. Mindy has such a great personality-- they all do. They offer drinks and wine while you're being serviced and the TV is always on something good lol. They are busy some days but that's just because everyone knows what I know -- that they're great! read more

Place was very nice and clean, staff was welcoming. I found it good at the start when one of my friends recommended the person Andy to do my gel pedicure because hers looked very good. All in all, it felt like a very rushed job and the color looks terrible like it was slapped on top. Cut toenails very short, before i came I had a nice long square nail and now it looks awful, my friend may have liked Andy but as a first impression i would never go back to him. read more

Very nice and spacious salon. I used to go here more often when I lived in Tampa but I still have gone back to see Sophie a couple times since moving to Saint Pete I have VERY short nails and she does a great job and I love the shape and length. They have tons of color options so I arrive 10 minutes early to look at every option with sparkles and then pick the color 120 (a sparkly pink) just about every time. I have had some not great experiences with some of the other techs but Sophie never lets me down! read more

I hate to update with more frustration, but I went to another salon to have the gel manicure removed, and the technicians told me that there was no base coat applied under the glitter gel polish, and as a result, had to file and soak my nails for nearly an hour to get most of the polish off. Some of the polish couldn't even be removed without risking damage through the nail. As a result, my nails are thinner and will be weaker until they've grown out entirely. If you go to this salon, please know exactly what should and shouldn't be done to your nails so you can self-advocate. read more

Terrible customer service! I walked in and the nail tech "Brian" mumbled "what was the problem" a little too loud then let me know no one can do your nails. No offer for another time. My nails were done so poorly last time a nail broke within a couple days. This place is low quality and the workers sit around and scratch off lottery tickets the entire time. I don't want to say they were stereotyping me there but if the shoe fits. read more

I really love this place. My birthday is next week, so I went all out thinking I'm going to get a birthday discount. And guess what, so bday discount .. I'm not a happy camper, I've recommended this place to a few friends who are now frequent customers. Why no bday discount read more

Been loyal to this place for 10 years. Got charged $70 for a $50 manicure after already being told the initial price. Instead of honoring it i get yelled at and then Nickle and dimmed for every thing. Oh and my nails were BURNING when my hands in the gel dryer and the lady (who already didn't listen to anything i asked for) said it's normal deal with it. Won't be coming back EVER. read more

I love this salon! I've gone six or seven times for acrylic nails; the first time, I wasn't a fan. The acrylic was quite thick and looked very fake. One nail broke only a week in. I went back to get it fixed (which was even done for free!), and this time, it was done by Mai. Her work was beautiful! I've gone back for five or six fills, all done by Mai. The great part is that she has fixed broken nails, replaced one or two that have started to lift due to wear and tear, etc., all without needing a full new set. Additionally, there is a 10% student discount! The pricing is great, with only small up charges for complex designs (e.g., $5 extra for pink and whites or French tips). I would highly recommend Mai for acrylics! They're absolutely beautiful and so natural looking, even when long. Also, my mom has gotten many gel manicures from Mindy, whom she loves! read more

I stopped in here on a whim after running out of time to get a pedi at home before my trip to Tampa. It was about an hour before closing time and they were very welcoming. Audy did my pedi and did an excellent job. I picked gel polish without realizing it, but now I'm glad I did. My feet feel amazing and my toes look awesome. Super happy I found this place! read more

Stopped by to get a full set and pedicure. Was advised of the employee discount which is always an incentive. They had tons of polish selections- gel, powder, or regular polish. My nails came out nice but I noticed they are bubbles in the gel. They offered beverages and have a few televisions to watch while having services done. read more

Great service, quick and attentive. The owner is there and very much involved. I had an appointment with Mia who was so sweet and gave good service. My Dad is a favorite at this salon as he is WELL known! He goes to have his feet pampered at 74yrs old. Hahaha I could never get him to go when he was younger and he always thought it was just for women. It took my mom to finally convince this manly man to go and have his feet trimmed up!! He enjoyed it so much and spoke on how great it felt that we can't keep him away now. He received this new service they offer that detox your body through pulling all the toxins out from your feet. It's 30 minutes long and $25 total. My Dad told me about this new service and states how better he felt afterwards. He had more energy than usual and wanted me to try the service. I finally did yesterday. It's amazing how the color your water turn from starting out as clear water. So they sit you at a regular pedicure station and can perform two for two different people at one time. They put this machine on the floor and place a band around your leg with some type of device that is inserted into your water that distribute some type of salt. Depending on how much toxins you have in your body will determine the color of the water as time goes on, remember it's a total of 30 mins. Now keep in mind I am pretty much a health nut that workout 6days a week also drinks no less than 96oz. Of water a day. Take tons of supplements also. I was quite impressed that my water did not change too much as I try to flush my body with water everyday anyways. My Dad! Different story he don't eat as healthy as he should and his water turned this burnt orange color! Which according to the color chart it was pulling toxins from his joints! My mom kept calling him a "dirty old man" It was amazing and I did feel even more energetic afterwards. I will definitely return most likely for me once a quarter since I didn't have that much toxins but my dad were making him go once a month!!! read more

Normally I would not write a review but this experience needs to be documented. I've been going awhile to this salon - I've had mixed experiences every time I've been. This last time was probably the worst. I wanted a specific tech - even called to schedule with her. When I arrived they said she was out sick. Fine. Went with someone else and it started off well and ended painfully. I wanted holiday toes but the tech either didn't hear me or didn't care what I was saying as I ended up with all white toes. Unfortunately, she did gel so they were not easy to redo. Then my nails. Ugh. I told her they were acrylic and had only dipped color on the tips. She ended up taking them all off and I had to start with a new set. She told me I needed to tell her at the beginning. Um - I did but she not sure she was actually listening. The right hand nails are longer than the left hand nails. She was rough and I even had a few cuts on the cuticles. Disappointing to say the least. I did leave a nice tip as she did all this work but on a $115 visit my pedicure and manicure should have been what I asked for. I basically settled as the tech wasn't happy working on me. Too pricey for a not so great job/experience. read more

I was referred to Jessica by my roommate. So glad I made an appointment with her! She used the SNS powder on my nails and did an awesome job. Super friendly staff. They are all so welcoming and were continually offering to get me something to drink. I got a pedicure that was $33 which included the basics with a scrub, hot towels, and lotion. Then I got the SNS powder on my nails for $35. Well worth the prices. I will be back :) read more

i really did not enjoy this place. i wanted a cute design for valentines and i called ahead and asked if they could do designs and they told me yes. four different employees worked on my nails. one put on the foils to take off my gel from before and stops what he is doing and starts giving another girl a pedicure and leaves me sitting for 30 minutes. they finally do my nails and are flabbergasted by the design i want. the one lady suggests stickers instead and i said "no i don't want stickers." she puts stickers on anyway. now it's only been five days and they are chipping( pictures included). i will never be back. read more

First time trying this salon because I was on this side of town today. The appearance was of your typical nail salon; small but with cute little decorations spread about. I was greeted quickly and chose the color I wanted. After sitting down the lady doing my nails informed me that she did not like the color for me. I took her advice and changed colors. She kept the conversation to almost mute and took FOREVER on my nails. I got gel and for the first coat she had me put them under the UV light ONE AT A TIME!! Omg...I literally fell asleep twice. I only got a color change on my nails and toes and it took 2 hrs!! I can only imagine how much longer I would be there if I had gotten a mani and pedi. The crew seemed to know most of the people that came there by name so they must be doing something right, they are just not for me. read more

I decided to ignore some of the bad reviews, because I know most establishments get bad reviews and not a lot of people take the time out to give a positive review. Based on the positive reviews presented, I decided to take a chance and try this particular nail salon for a Manny and petty. Because it was early I was able to get a seat quickly, I'm not sure of the gentleman's name who worked on my hands and feet, but I have never been butchered as badly as I was yesterday. While relaxing in the chair I suddenly felt a little pain and I looked down and saw that my toe was bleeding. I have a tolerance for pain, so I thought maybe it was just an accidental Nick and thought nothing of it until I noticed it would not stop bleeding and he immediately put my foot in the bath. He painted my toes and I figured all would be better by the time we were done. We moved over to get my hands finished and once again I felt pain and one of my fingers looked down and saw that it was bleeding. I saw him mouth the word sorry and he continued. Since I was getting a gel set there are multiple applications necessary and every single time he tried to paint my finger there was blood on my nails to the point where he went and got some blue solution dropped a few drops on my finger which burned a little and then stopped the bleeding. In between the session, another worker comes up with a bag they talk and she ends up completing my set and I tell her that I'm bleeding and she nods her head and completes everything. Mind you, in one of the applications he shakes The polish which then caused dust to fly everywhere and onto my nails. When they completed the last coat of course now my nails have some lumps in them, but at this point I am just annoyed and want to leave. I go to check out and I pay for my services since the main part I wanted did get done even with the pain and I am not one to usually raise a stink. When it came to the tip the lady asked me if everything was great and I told her no and proceeded to tell her that I am bleeding on my finger and toe and I have never had this happen to me before. Her and another worker take a look and they both say 'sorry'. That's it no care in the world. I am a good tipper, but only left two dollars for the lady that finished my manicure even though the reaction was as if they could care less. Immediately after they were rushing to a van to take bags of stuff out of it, so that seem to be their priority. I'm not saying that this is a horrible place I am just saying that you could take the time to really care and now all day to my toe looks like it may have a slight infection. Great! read more

I would say this salon has below average service with average prices. My friend and I wanted to have pedicures and we were both disappointed. My technician started out on the phone while warming up the water which I mentioned more than three times the water was too hot (it was scorching) so I couldn't out my feet in. By the time she got off the phone the water was finally decent enough to put my feet in. My feet had barely soaked (probably around less than a minute) before she started exfoliating which was ineffective since my feet were barely wet. My friend had the same treatment from her technician who also cut her skin on her cuticles back too far leaving her in pain. In total, we were in and out in around 20 minutes. That might work for others in a hurry but we expected to at least relax and enjoy our time out without being hurried through by technicians who have other things (seemingly more important) going on. read more

My urgent, impromptu visit has resulted to me locating a nail salon I will visit more frequently when I'm in the area. Background: Another nail shop in Saint Petersburg (at the mall) put clear gel (per my request) on my nails however it didn't last a week, so that's how I lucked up on this salon. Yay me! Overall Review: The place is clean and the workers are pleasantly accommodating. The nail tech surprised me by not charging me to fix some other nail shop's work and I am grateful; I left a tip as a thank you and this was a first impression (the last impression). Other information: There are several pedicure-massaging chairs lined against the wall, at least four rows of tables with two technicians' stations, and TVs in various stops in the salon. They work on natural and artificial nails. The establishment is situated off I75 North and it in the first shopping/dining plaza off Bruce B Downs. They are offering a 10% discount for the holiday. read more

I'm highly upset and annoyed that this happened. This is the only place that I even trust to go to and I'm never coming back. I have an ankle bracelet that my friend brought back with her from Africa and i haven't taken it off ever since. I went and got a pedicure and the lady that did my pedicure was rubbing my leg along with my ankle bracelet and she popped it. I'm highly upset and I asked if they can give me a discount or for free or maybe even credit me or give me a free service the next time I. She said she can only give me a discount if it's my birthday. No you broke my ankle bracelet and I'm upset. Then she tried to fix it which it looks fixed but I'm going to watch it closely hooping that it doesn't pop. Highly upset with this service and I've been coming here for years. Poor customer service read more
