    Dip Nails by Hana
    Carol J.

    I will treat myself every now and then and yesterday I went to get my nails done here. Worst set of nails I have ever seen. My hands look like a hobbits! Hana did them and she should NOT be doing nails! Not Dip nails anyways.

    Love it!!! Ask for Kenny. Deep powder!!!! He is the best!!!

    Great place!!! Ask for Kenny!! The pedicure is fantastic and relaxing, I love the pearl spa... Highly recommend!!! The deep powder for your nails is fantastic... keep it longer!!!!

    Yes I would definitely recommend Tom and Bang and the crew there I've been using Tom and Bang for like 10 years the pictures do you know Josh this summer some are really good pictures and some are not so good I love the way they do my finger nails and my toenails.

    $50 and over an hour later, this was my worst experience at a nail salon ever! I'm not sure the name of the lady who did my nails but she really did not seem like she knew what she was doing at all. I'm not sure how she looked at my nails and was proud of her work/allowed me to leave like this. I asked for an acrylic fill in with gel color. I was in pain the whole time because of the products she put on my nails and how aggressive she was with the tools. She left 3 different cuts on my cuticles and even made me a bleed a little. None of my nails are the same length, some are thick and some are thin, they are cut and filed crooked, I almost left that place crying! I will never be going back or will I ever recommend this place to anyone

    French shellac with a little flair!

    I was in town on business and as usual I checked Yelp when I needed my nails done. Great shellac manicure - see photo (french with ring finger colored tip) less than an hour total and she did an excellent job. I did not get her name. :( I highly recommend this place.

    Uneven application of the shellac. Didn't paint full nail beds.

    I was attracted by the gleaming Yelp reviews only to be sorely disappointed. I called to make an appointment for two and the person who answered said to "come now" so we arrived within 10 minutes. We arrived, only to be questioned about why we were there. Clearly no techs were available to do our nails. Fast forward, my little sister and I both get our manicures done. Her nails are very poorly painted with smudging everywhere. My nails were quickly painted by the owner (her next scheduled client was waiting) with tons of spots here and there. Not to mention, mine was shellac, so she could have done an extra coat to mitigate the spot issue. She also filed my nails after setting the gel (which should never be done because it breaks the gel seal); of course the gel started lifting within the week. Pros: They use warming pads to soften your cuticles before removal, extremely quiet (no uncomfortable Vietnamese conversations the whole time), owner greets clients as they arrive/depart. Cons: Everything else.

    Truly such a pleasant surprise! I've never been anywhere where they've actually listened to what it is you wanted and did it without trying to talk you into something completely different. I left there not only happy with the experience but happy with the work done. Will certainly be going again!

    I rate this place 5+ stars! First of all, The parking lot is huge, so theres no worries about looking for a parking spot. Before coming in, theres a hand sanitizing table and mask required sign. When you come inside, they check your temperature. I feel safe coming in here during COVID-19 because they take the extra steps to make sure everything is clean and everyone is safe and comfortable. Not only does the employees make everyone comfortable, they always do the best job on my nails!!

    This is by far the best nail place in Sarasota. Snow and Wayne take their time and their services…read moreare top notch. I've never been disappointed with my nails. They never rush, always go above and beyond and my nails (fingers and toes) last for weeks!

    Outstanding service, professional, spotless and sanitary. Great selection of colors, DND, and Opi…read morepolish. They may have more but I honestly didn't notice. This was a spur of the moment impulse decision and I'm glad they had an opening for me. Snow, the manicurist, did my gel manicure and she knows what to do. She expertly gave my nails a much needed shaping, checked with me several times to ensure that I was pleased with her progress. Snow was friendly, attentive, and after her relaxing massage my nails really looked pretty and ready to kick off the summer looks. She's fast with quality experienced work. Absolute pleasure. Off to the Massage chair I went and found that I really needed it! Wayne did my pedicure. Friendly, gentle, and left my toes and heels so smooth. Oh, so relaxing. Wayne was detailed and ensure my toe nails were evenly shaped and removed dead skin too. I honestly didn't even feel him working on my cuticle, that's how gentle he worked. Great way to end the work week. It is an extremely peaceful friendly salon with reasonable competitive prices without the drama. Loved it! Plenty of parking in this plaza, too! Oh, Yelpers don't forget we get $5 off for the first visit when you get a manicure and pedicure! Yes, they honored it!
