I have been going to Expo Nails for years. I have a mani-pedi about once a month with Brian. Brian takes his time with my pedicures with great detail, as most women seem to get. Being a male, I appreciate his detailed work. He is a nice man and is sociable! Everyone at Expo Nails is great! So make an appointment! read more

Booked a pedicure for my daughter with Nikki. It was a very quick, efficient appointment and for a teen pedicure and it was very it was well done. The salon was very clean and busy. The receptionist, David, at the front was an absolute pleasure to talk with while I was waiting. He seem to know each and every person who walked in by name, to get their nails done; I will definitely go back for myself. read more

Came in for the first time today and they did an awesome job! Got a pedicure and a fill with some design. They turned out super pretty and the guy who did my nails kept checking with me throughout the process to make sure I liked how it looked. The shape of my nails are perfect! The man who rang me up wrote me a breakdown of the price which I appreciated and was very nice. Will 100% be back! :) read more

Expo Nails & Spa - Thank you guys!! Great job :) - Skin Care Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

no where on the "menu" they handeded me did I see any (let alone a $16, higher than normal) upcharge for gel in a pedicure. either way, I was shocked when a 30 minute pedicure cost me SIXTY SEVEN dollars. especially since all my nails are different length and shapes, there's somehow a large amount of polish on my feet and I feel like I hardly got a service worth paying over basic pedicure prices for. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a good nail salon, and the top quality I look for is the longevity of the product. This is my first time doing a dip manicure at Expo nails on my natural nails and I couldn't be happier. In my experience with dip manicured at other salons, nails lift, break, or chip around the edges; but almost 3 weeks later my manicure is holding strong. Dena did my nails and Tony provided great customer service before my appointment. I will be returning!! Update : went back today for a fill and received great customer service! Kim did a great job on my dip fill and my nails look great! read more

Came in for a powder style nail with extensions. Asked if they could do pink to white ombré and they said yes. Two hours later I still have to pay full price for the worst looking nails I've ever seen and I'm bleeding in four different places. My friend who I went with had a similar experience and we went directly home to fix it with regular nail polish. Look, if you can't do ombré that's fine but at least tell us so we can pick something that won't look terrible! And we still had to pay full price at 50$ each. The service was good but what's the point if the product was a disaster?? Update: I thought that at least the acrylic nail itself would be fine and I could just paint over it but no. The nails have started breaking in under a week! Unbelievable. My mom told me she had a similar experience at this nail salon- worst one in town. read more

I walked in and explained that I needed a pedicure and a manicure with dip powder. Near the end of my pedicure I was informed that all of the technicians were busy and that I would have to come back the following day to complete my manicure. I was asked why they couldn't complete the service and they told me that the manager was off and they were just taking customers with no system. This is THE MOST unprofessional nail establishment that I have ever visited. Save your time. Go someplace nicer and more professional. In addition to this, the polish job was messy and the polish appeared to be old as it had bumps in it. read more

My technician gave the worst dip manicure I've ever gotten. He didn't do any work on my cuticles or even push them back. When buffing, using the filing tool, and shaping my nails he nicked and burned my skin several times with the tool, to the point where I pulled my hand away because it was painful. This happened well over half a dozen times during my manicure. The shaping ended up uneven, sloppy, and not what I wanted at all. If that wasn't enough, he smelled of cigarette smoke and coughed up phlegm (without a mask) directly onto my hand. He was pushy and unprofessional. Horrible experience, couldn't wait for it to end. read more

Expo Nails & Spa - Terrible dip manicure - Skin Care Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Having lived in Sarasota for 10 years, I think I've tried every nail salon here. This is by far my favorite. It's super clean, they have an incredible color selection, and I think you get the best value for your money. I can go 4 weeks easily with the dip manicure without any lifting or cracking. I've been going to Dena for about 2 years now and she has remained consistently great. read more

Today was my 1st day in Sarasota, so of course a girl needs to beautify herself. When I called to book my appointment the owner, Tony was kind and friendly. Kim who is delightful gave me a mani / pedi. Expo Nails & Spa is a beautiful, classy and has a very warm environment. It was crowded but no one was waiting. They have a full staff of people on call to serve your needs. They're attention to detail and cleanliness is above and beyond. It was spacious and the lighting was soothing. Expo Nails did a superior job and they have a customer for life. read more

Got a gel manicure here because of the convenience of the location that day. Will never again. My gel manicure began to peel within a couple of days. I have never had this happen before and have gotten gel manicures for years. I told the owner and there was no apology only a "don't worry, it's just nails." He did say they would fix it and I made an appointment to do so. Show up to my appointment and am waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally I just ask the owner to do it himself as he was just sitting at the desk. He does and then i'm out of time to get it put back on. I come back again to get it put back on and then- it peels the next day! Yes, it is just nails as the owner continuously pointed out, but it is also time and money which I do not like to waste. Will not go here ever again no matter how convenient it is. Go to bee nails on bee ridge instead and see Tina! read more

Natural Pedicures. Clean too- they line the pedi tubs with disposable liners for cleanliness. Best place and will only come here when visiting. They have wine if you'd like a beverage. Water too. Very nice and accommodating. They do facials also, Highly recommend this place. read more

Terrible put nails on not straight, not attention to detail just want your money and get you out

I do not recommend this place. He cut my nails and toenails down to the nub. I'm so upset about it :( not to mention they're shaped weird and the polish was applied so poorly. Now I have to grow them out for months again to get the length back. read more

Terrible service. Went in to ask for a nail repair..they won't sacrifice a nail repair paint job because they would rather do gels or high end services. Yuck. Won't be back. read more

Not rating the service itself but the guy running the counter. Tried to get a walk in appt for my wife today, and the guy running the counter said they were busy to and to come back in an hour. I asked if we could just schedule an appt at that point for an hour from then and he said no just come back in an hour. If the idiot wasn't going to take down my name, number, etc, how could I be guaranteed anything when I come back in an hour? All the other reviews say the actual service is great but if you cannot even get to that part how the heck are you supposed to know ? read more

Friendly service with colorful colors from China Glaze, OPI and Zoya. Wide gel colors too. Place is new and clean. Vietnamese young owners moved family from Dallas, and brother and sister also work here. Good job but expensive for area. Basic mani and pedicure $42 when everyone else is $35. Gel not included, you have to pay extra for that. Hot stones are extra too. read more

Great find! I've been looking for a regular place to go and get my nails done. I will look no further! Clean, and beautiful! Feels like a spa when you go through the front door. Reasonable prices. Best I've found in town! Anne did a great job on my nails! You've now got me as a regular! read more

I've been getting pedicures and having acrylics on my nails for well over 20+ years. NEVER have I ever gotten a funguS! I noticed a big green spot on my finger (thankfully I had a light colored polish on and it showed through) when I painfully removed the acrylic, there was a very big green fungus growing on my nail bed! Today, I removed the toe nail polish from a pedicure done 2 weeks prior by a different tech and noticed I have a fungus spot on my big toe! Clearly there is a major proper sanitation situation going on here. I'll pay to go have the nails removed elsewhere. read more

Very nice place; however, Dena is horrible. Avoid seeing her if possible. She is rude and unprofessional. While working on my nails, she was talking to someone via her AirPods. She also forgot primer until I said something. Ask for Kenny if you can! read more

UPDATE: I went back today and they had Lily redo my nails and they look so much better! I'm much happier and will just make sure I request to have only Lily, Vuu, or Nancy next time. I've been going to expo for the last 6 months now and I've always had a decent experience until I got stuck with Kevin. DO NOT let him touch you. His hands are gross and dirty and he's rough. I also showed him a picture of what I wanted and asked repeatedly if he could do it with dip powder and make it matte and repeatedly he said yes. It was a matte nude to neon ombré with tips. The whole time he jerked my arms around into painful positions and never once apologized even when he cut my finger with his Dremel file. There was glue ALL over my finger tips when I left and it was the worst my nails have ever looked from there. They are uneven, lumpy and bubbly in addition to being the worst powder dip I have ever received. If they can't do something they should say so. I really wish I would have read reviews before going to have this done. I'm calling today and they will be fixing my nails since I paid $50 plus a $10for them!! read more

I don't know what is going on at Expo. I use to be very happy with my regular pedicure but no more. Operator massaged one leg but 'forgot' to massage the other leg...really? The next time I went, the guy polished the skin around the cuticle & nails. Then tried to remove all the slip ups with polish remover! What a mess! I am not going back. read more

Tony, Ann and staff are the best. Clean, classy, friendly. What more could you ask for? I've never had anything but excellent service here and No gimmicks. No chemical smells and no weird up selling. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Always have a wonderful experience here. My father and I go get pedicures a lot ! It smells so clean and not like chemicals like all the other salons I have been too. The people are all so friendly and nice (start a conversation with them!) The owners are husband and wife and are so sweet and want to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. They are the most clean nail salon I have ever been in and they are the same price as most salons in Sarasota. (Good pricing!) Clean is most important to me! Have never been dissatisfied here. Only have one picture of a time I got a manicure here... Love this color! read more

I almost don't want to do this review because I dont want to share Sara with anyone else but I have to give credit where it's due. I just moved to Sarasota and this was the 3rd and last place I tried. This is now my forever salon. Its spotless, the owners are so friendly, and I can't say enough about Sara she does my brows and pedicure with precise and pure perfection. They really care about their clients and I'm forever loyal. read more

Currently getting that "rub down" on my feet. For just the basic pedicure. Since school is currently in, come right when it gets out. Every one is home or picking up the kids. It's empty and quiet you'll get allll the attention, I've been coming here for years. I use to go to (no name) another place but I will never go back. If you don't get your nails done here, you don't really know what you're missing, or get them done right. read more

I have been going here on and off since they opened and the service and skill level of the technicians is getting worse. The gel polish on my daughter and grandmasters nails was chipping within 2 days. During the pedicure we both got nicks and no one ever said sorry or anything. Their prices are higher than some and definitely not worth it. Will not be returning here again! read more

Tried Expo Nails nearly two weeks ago on the recommendation of someone who's manicure is always flawless. I saw Anne for a French manicure using powder dip. She was lovely & did a FANTASTIC job!! I am so pleased that I visited Expo Nails! I have another appointment on the books for this week & will be having a gel pedicure at that time as well. Do yourself a favor and give this spot a try! read more

I had asked if they could give me a polish change and I didn't have much time, so I asked if they could get it done within 30 min or should I come back? They said "yes, no problem, sit down". So the lady started to do a manicure and I said "I only have time for a polish change". Then it was almost like she was moving slow on purpose to annoy me. It took an hour when I clearly told them at the beginning that I only had 30 min. Then they tried to charge me for a full manicure and I said "AGAIN, I only got a polish change". So they took $5 off and I think it was $25 for just a polish change. I will never go there again. read more

Expo is a great new salon tucked in the Expo shopping center where Buffalo Wild Wings is located (next to the Gymnastics place) Atmosphere: Spa-like, new chairs, great color selections and friendly staff who give the best pedi's in Sarasota! read more

Very friendly, great selection of colors. The service was so relaxing. I had the hot stone massage since they have 20% deal going on now. While the one girl started on my feet another started on my hands. Fingers were dry by the time my pedicure was done. At the end received a card, after 5 visit another 20% off, very nice compared to other salons. Also they said when I come back let them know my name and they will set aside a clipper and file box so I always get the same stuff. Will definitely go back. read more

Passed by at 4pm on a Sunday to get a pedicure and although the door and yelp says it is open until 5 on a Sunday, it was closed. Extremely disappointed at false information given for the business, will never even attempt to go. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! Nancy and Ann are awesome. Love my powder manicure

This has been my go to place for two years. Nikki is a fantastic nail technician, however dealing with the ownership when you are dissatisfied is a bit challenging. I selected a new product brand and my new nails chipped in places and were cracking within 4 days. I returned back to the salon explaining to Tony it has to be the product, it's the first time this has ever happened. Tony the owner would not take responsibility about the bad product. And insisted I'd have to pay the $45 to redo them. He was extremely unprofessional, unethical and reflected his greed in the conversation. As a customer I shouldn't have to defend how my nails looked. The obvious was reflected by the visual. I walked out and will never return to a place that doesn't take care of its customers where it was obvious the product was faulty. An owner who takes money however will not correct his faults is simply bad business practice. read more
