She always changes the price, I have been here 3 times and every time she charges more and more. I even ask for the price in advance.

went to have a dip nail service did not have any colors. So I went with a gel manicure that lasted only 4 days. Would never go back even to have them fix my nails. Such a waste of money! Definitely not a clean place read more

I have been going to Golden Nails for 12 years. I would not go anywhere else. The salon is always impeccably clean. The owner Kimmie can do my nails in 30 minutes and they always turn out perfect. If you are looking for a salon that you will love I highly recommend Golden Nails. You will be very happy. read more

Nice small nail place, Andy did a great job and even stayed late to finish. They do take walk-ins but i made an appointment anyway.

Andy is wonderful. Very skilled, professional as nd thorough. Patient as well! Very careful and gentle

The woman put 4 coats of polish on my nails which of course did not dry properly and was messed up as soon as I got in my car. While I was waiting for my nails to dry, I watched the woman pick up the tools that she used on my nails and put them back in the package they were "sealed in" and brought them over to use on another client. No cleaning in between. I would call the department of health but I'm on vacation and don't want to be bothered. Do not go there! read more

Was staying at the hotel nearby and was glad to find this spot. Walked in and was immediately attended by the lady who quickly got my gel manicure taken care of. Seemed like a popular place for the locals and was happy with the service. Reasonable price, quick service and made sure I was happy with the end result. Pleasant experience on vacation! Thank you! read more

This place must rely on tourist business. Got a dip and they ALL fell off within 24 hours. Didn't even think that was possible with powder dips. And it smells toxic in there. I suggest you try any other nail place especially if you need your nails done for a special important occasion. read more

Excellent customer service ! Walk in on a Friday noon without an appointment they took me immediately, no wait , lovely lady ( experienced ) did my regular manicure , relaxing hands and arms massage . I saw many local ladies at the salon having the spa pedicure on massage chairs . Definitely a nice break from the beach . A nice foot massage after morning walks or run . read more

Always my first stop when I get to Sand Key. They do a nice job, are so friendly and it is so relaxing!

I really hate to give a negative review to any business but the woman who did my pedicure cut me on two of my nails to the point it was bleeding . I asked for some topical antibiotic before I left read more

Waked in, asked whether I can have manicure and pedicure done. The lady (an owner) said Yes. She was the one who did it for me both gel manicure and regular pedicure. She did gel manicure in less than 10 minutes, all my fingers were bleeding. The job was sloppy. She was aggressive and in rush. She did my pedicure in less than 15 min. Two ladies came before me (they had appointments for pedicure) and they were not done after me. I understand, they are trying to make more money and I came in without appointment, but not like this. She could have simply turned me away and I would understand. The work was very sloppy and she was very aggressive. I simply didn't want to conflict. read more

I was staying at the Marriott and this salon was recommended. The owner Kim was delightful. We talked about what I wanted and I showed her a photo I found on Pinterest! She assured me that she could do it, WOW she sure did. She was quick, but every precise. I love my new nails! It's like having new jewelry! Thanks Kim! read more

This was my first time at Golden Nails. I am in Clearwater on holiday and needed a manicure. Given their close proximity to my resort, I decided to stop by (as a walk-in) early Saturday afternoon. I chose a basic manicure and pedicure (totalling $40 -- I did not check their individual prices since they would not have dissuaded me from getting either service!). After choosing a colour, I was seated in a standard pedicure/massage chair. There was nothing special or life-changing about the service. I did appreciate that the technician asked me before cutting my nails (as opposed to simply filling them). He was very gentle but the application was okay at best. Although clean around the edges, it was messy on the nails. The manicure is what really disappointed. As many salons are seeing a surge in gel/dip/acrylic requests, I think they rush through regular polish manicures. The polish I chose, a white-pink colour from Essie, was very thick and stringy. The application looked clearly messy and uneven. Several bubbles formed and the tech did not offer to fix or asked me if I wanted to re-do it. There were a few regulars there and the techs were kinder to them than they had been to me, hence my hesitancy to ask for my nails to be repainted. Over all, both manicure and pedicure lasted just around 1.5 hours which did not show in the quality of the applications. read more

I got a dip manicure and a pedicure. The pedicure turned out great, but the dip manicure was not. My finger was cut, it was sloppy as there was too much left over polish on the edges, the leveling of the nails were not good. The tech seemed like she was in a rush and likely aided in the poor nail quality. read more

The finished job was horrible. The amount of time spent there was ridiculous - almost 2 hours. Service + attitude - omg, not acceptable. Honestly, if the nails were amazeballs, sure, I'd be able to let service quibbles go, but as evidenced by my pics.... Well, you can judge for yourself. read more

The owner KIM is just a RUDE person, everything is about her making money, she doesn't care about her clients she is just fake person!They should speak English when they talk to each other, very rude speaking foreign language around people who don't understand! This place is just a tourist trap, surround by 2 Hotels! That's why she doesn't care about locals, she had plenty business from the Hotels! Stay away from this place, giving 1 star because I can't give 00 read more

I got an appointment same day. The woman that did my nails was very good. I have natural nails that are very short and she made them look great! Lots of color choices!! read more

Had a mani/pedi while visiting from out of town. The lady spent lots of time on my feet and hands. She even talked me into an eyebrow wax which I've never done before. She did a great job! I would definitely recommend! read more

Before traveling to Clearwater Beach for a conference, I researched nail salons in the area because I was sorely in need of a pedicure, but didn't have time to get it done before leaving Chicago. The only place near the hotel that I could find was an overpriced salon located in the Marriott. At $65 for a pedicure, I knew I wouldn't be going there. When I checked into our hotel (the Sheraton Sand Key), I asked at the front desk whether there was a place nearby to get a pedicure. I expected the staff to automatically recommend the Marriott salon, because it's directly across the street from the Sheraton. But, I was pleasantly surprised when the staff member recommended Golden Nails, which is located in a strip mall just next to the Marriott. My colleague and I were able to walk in without an appointment, were immediately seated in the massager chairs and pedicures commenced. The nail techs were super friendly and did a great job. They tried a couple of times for the upsell (need a manicure? want to get your eyebrowns waxed? You know, we do massages here?) but easily took "no" as our answer. They were not at all pushy. The pedicure only set me back $25, which was a great price compared to the salon in the Marriott! read more

Awesome service! Was visiting from California, my toes were in need of some TLC. They were very welcoming and friendly did not make this man feel awkward at all. I like the technique they use and the massage chair was the best I have experienced in a salon. Would give them 6 stars if I could. The other patrons were friendly too, if they were younger I could see us all doing the "Bend and Snap" routine. read more

Excellent manicure here. I entered to find a bright and spacious nail salon. Asked to wait a few minutes, I sat down to find there was free WiFi on offer as well, which is always a welcome perk anywhere. Especially when my Irish mobile contract didn't work in US. I brought my own varnish, which was no problem and we got started. Some polite chit chat, but the rest of the time I happily watched a food channel that was on. The drying table they had was a new one on me, but it's probably standard in the US. It's a square unit that dries either hands or feet of up to four people. I left with fabulous nails which looked really well and lasted really well also. At 15 USD, it was great value too. Recommended. read more

I went here on my vacation and got my nails done, and it was a beret sloppy job and it's took 25 min just to get me seated. I got jell nails and it came of in 3 days. My two daughters got regular nail and they where so splotchy and only half there nails where painted. I do not recommend going here. Terrible service. read more

We called to schedule an appointment and they took us right away. The ladies were very friendly and did a great job on our nails. One of the best pedicures I've ever had. Fairly cheap for such great service too! The place was very clean and I would recommend it for anyone who needs their nails done. read more

First time here and great experience!! Lee did my pedicure and was one of the best I've ever had! I'll definitely be back.

When we called ahead to make an appointment, the woman who answered the phone said "there is an opening for you and your two friends in 5 minutes" I said I would try to get there then, but no promises as I had to drive 5 minutes to arrive. When I arrived, I was yelled at for not being there in 5 minutes then was rushed to my seat and to pick a color where I had maybe a choice of 40 of almost the same colors. The three of us were separated the entire visit, which I understand but also would have liked to know this during my call as I would have rescheduled for a more available time to enjoy each others company. For the pedicure, the water was way too hot and when I told the lady it was too hot she said "no it will be fine after a few minutes" and shoved my feet in the tub. The pedicure was the ABSOLUTE worst pedicure I've ever had. She destroyed the skin around my toes, to the point where one toe was actually bleeding. She did not exfoliate the bottom of my feet and did not rub my feet or apply lotion at the end. When she was doing the gel light, she kept touching the light to the wet polish and when I tried to tell her this, she dismissed me then yelled at me after it dried under the light insisting that I didn't tell her the light was touching, so she ultimately had to redo it twice. In addition, the shop was very dirty, all equipment had dust and stains on it and it was just an overall very, very unpleasant experience. They really don't consider cleanliness or germs with the pedicure tubs or any of the chairs I sat in. I told the original lady I spoke with how unpleasant my experience was and she said she was sorry, but didn't offer any solitioI would NEVER return to this place, even if I desperately needed my nails done. read more

So happy! I just moved to treasure island and I needed to get my nails done and this was a block away from my house ... I never got his name but I had the guy who works there do my nails. He did an awesome job, exactly what I wanted. I came in for a fill with some butchered nails and he gave gave them life again, shaped them perfect and made them thin and natural looking like I liked. My boyfriend got a pedicure and said it was good too. I'd reccomend them if you're looking for a nail spot in Treasure Island!! read more

I had a great experience at Golden Nails. Tammy was awesome. I walked in around 11:20 on a Thursday and was able to be helped right away. The basic pedicure was wonderful! I enjoyed light conversation with Tammy which was nice because I came alone. The salon was clean and staff was friendly. I got a French manicure on my nails and it looks great. I did not feel rushed or pressured at all. In fact, I felt very relaxed. I'm very pleased! read more

Truly the WORST manicure I've ever had in my life...and I've been getting professional manicures for 25 years. Avoid this place. It is unsanitary...reuses Emory boards and files. Gross gross gross. They cut my finger and I pray I don't get an infection...only time will tell if that happens. Avoid avoid avoid. read more

They do a fantastic job every time. Happy but sometimes is ask for a specific person and when I arrive I get another. I recommend this place! read more

Has to be one of the top 3 worst pedicures I have ever experienced. The scrub and lotion were slapped on my legs in less than 1 minute and the whole pedicure took less than 15min. When it was over, the woman asked me to dry my toes out of the chair. Normally, I wouldn't care but I was sitting next to my MIL, enjoying the massage chair. There were also 3 empty chairs and no one was waiting. I asked if I could stay in the chair until my MIL was done. Less than 5min later, someone else came over and asked me to get out of the chair. Very rude. Will not be returning! read more

Beware!! I do not do reviews but I felt I must do one for Golden Nails in Clearwater. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING. I made an appointment and asked if they do dipping powder fills. They said absolutely. I got there and woman in charge had an older man take off old polish and he soaked them for 7 minutes and then started drilling and was drilling into my nail bed. The lady then came over and started filling nails with powder (it was going everywhere including up my arms, a very sloppy job). Then she had the man come over and drill some more and then put the top coat on. I walked out with the nails on the sides having drill marks where the new powder was put on. After two days the top coat started coming off. I was charged $45, the most i've ever been charged, for what I would call extremely unprofessional work. I am of firm belief that the man has never been licensed and I will be checking up on that because then it was illegal for him to perform his work. I'm pretty sure the woman had very, very little training on applying dipping powder. read more

On vacation and decided to treat myself. A great experience: clean, relaxing, and they took great care of me. Had a mani and pedi...

Clean salon with pleasant employees. I'm only sorry that I'm just visiting the area as I would love to come back...often!!!

Come here every time we visit family in Clearwater. Great value & service

I would give them more stars but we'd made a reservation for 3 when they opened. They took my dad first, but then took another couple before my boyfriend and I. My dad ended up finishing and having to wait a good 30 minutes before me. We had a reservation when they opened, so they should have taken us all first, and me before my dad and boyfriend, since I took the longest (my ties had to be painted, whereas theirs didn't). My boyfriend and I have been here before, and it was good, except she cut his toe. read more
