Granted I picked pink color powder that was a bit darker than I would have really liked. But folks - my nail tech put together a look that resembles bubble gum blobs on the ends of my fingers - I can send a photo if you like. I work for a jeweler my hands are on display. I was stunned frankly, I used to go to this shop for years and was very happy. I am hoping to hear that she was just out of school. My pink nail look like shovels, I asked for squared off nails (i am no fond of pointed) and I got shovels.....I seriously have to go somewhere else tonight to get this ugly removed. The teck was okay, chatted with her friends around us but had nothing to say to me. Kind of sad experience. So yes Could Have Been MUCH better. BTW, they say they are open on Monday - not my experience, door said they are closed on Monday. read more

This place is great. The techs do the nails correctly, I like the mini shoulder massage they include, and the staff is nice. Great hours that they're open too. read more

From the moment that you walk in to new happy nails and are greeted by the most amazing staffers and owner to the moment that you are seated to either have a luxurious pedicure, whether it be basic gel or yummy yummy signature offerings... you've made a good choice to be here. Enjoy. read more

I had been to this salon a couple times before, this was my first time getting an acrylic set here. I asked for square nails and was given something that resembles duck nails. Very wide at the tip with rounded edges. I prefer the edges of my nails to be sharp, instead they look like week old square nails. Tried showing the nail tech a photo of sharp edged nails and she said I should have asked for coffin. Regardless of the shape, the edges should not have been rounded. When I asked for this to be fixed, the nail tech seemed annoyed and was clearly talking to the other nail tech next to her about it. Unfortunately, I also noticed an extremely crooked nail once I got home. I understand fingers are not straight, but I have never had a nail this crooked. These nails were for a special occasion as well. Would not recommend, not worth the cost. read more

I was there with my daughter and we both got our toes and hand done. They charged my daughter full price for only half the work. Then I ask for my nail to be done a certain way and they were not . It was my first and last time coming.also be sure to check pricing I was over charged and noticed when I got home. read more

Disappointing Experience - Rushed and Unprofessional It's hard to believe how poor the service has become. I have been coming here for gel nails, along with pedicures, but after today, i won't be returning. During my visit, I was asked if I wanted a $10 callus treatment. I politely declined, and moments later, the owner placed a timer next to my technician and started it--without explanation. I was then informed they had only 20 minutes to complete the pedicure. Naturally, the technician had to rush through the service, making the experience feel impersonal and hurried. What should have been a relaxing visit felt more like an assembly line. The owner walked around the salon checking every technician's timer like it was a factory floor. It was clear that customer satisfaction wasn't a priority--just getting through appointments as quickly as possible. I left feeling like I was just another $40, not a valued customer. This is not how professional or quality service should be delivered. Disappointed is an understatement. read more

$35 (that's powder dip removal and tip incl) for quite possibly the worst manicure I have ever gotten. Chose here bc my usual spot isn't open on Sundays and wanted pretty nails. I think my 7 year old could've painted these better ;( 2 fingers already chipped (not shown) Pictured are the bubbly swirly painted nails :-/ read more

I've been here multiple times and always receive 5 star treatment..manicures, pedi's Nico is great!!!! read more

Love everything about this place!! Service is outstanding. I wanted to use the CATS EYE polish on a whim so I was a bit surprised the technique she used with the magnet differently than the cats eye since she used the magnet on the edges of the nails and they turned out stunning that get noticed by women AND MEN!! Love this place read more

New Happy Nails - STUNNING!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

They made my daughter cry, and they don't get the job done. Not GOOD!!!! But their vibe is okay.

I walked in to make an appointment expecting to come back at a later date; which was fine. Instead they did have a woman "Cindy" available to give me a manicure and pedicure. Cindy was annoyed while I was picking out a color. During both my manicure and pedicure; she jerked my hands and feet "to get them where she wanted to place them"...very mean like. Then, she was literally cutting my cuticles by pulling the skin off which hurt - instead of clipping the cuticles. One of my cuticles was bleeding. She kept looking to her left - down at something: I thought she was reading texts from someone. I looked to see what she was looking at...and she pointed to a little puzzle piece of a picture of her dog...really? She was mean during the pedicure. I had to ask her to clip off a piece of skin she left hanging. She would push my feet where she wanted them. She kept repeating don't move or touch anything; nails not dry...I wasn't moving at all...I was too scared to move; I was watching her wondering why she is such an angry person. It was the worst customer service/manicure/pedicure I have ever had in my life. I will never go back. I reluctantly gave a 20% tip; I asked to book with someone else for a December mani/pedi....and the "host" at the front desk would not let me. I had to rebook with "Cindy"....I nicely said; "I will think about it and call back"....I will NEVER GO BACK!!!! RUDE. read more

I had my regular dipping powder and pedicure today, but the pedi was not done by my normal nail tech. I instead had Liam and she was very rough, and she didn't cut into the quick of one nail bed but two of my toes were bleeding. I wanted to talk to the owner but he was on the phone so I called from my car. I'm fairly certain the woman who answered the phone was the lady who did My bloody pedicure, she informed me I should have said something while I was there, I would have thought the little scream I let out twice should've been sufficient. I left my name and number for the owner and....surprise.....he's yet to call me. I've cancelled the transaction with my credit card and will never go there again! The owner is a very cold and uncaring human. Save your time, money and toes....go some place other than this butcher, read more

Always a good job no matter who I get. Mani's and pedi's. Highly recommend. I get gel and it lasts a very long time.

I live in New York, so this isn't my go to Nail Salon but it is the place that I visit when I'm down here. I think it's fantastic! Joe is particularly wonderful. He gives excellent hand, foot, and back massages. read more

This is about the "Boss Man" working there. Shops in this country need to start appreciating peoples tips regardless of the size. An "OH!" On a 15$ Tip is really not acceptable. Sorry but even I have to work my ass off for my money and I do not get tipped for all my work. Aside hovering over my bill while trying to pay is bad manners. This tipping % are out of hands and it should be for the service and not as a substitute to your low pay outs (thats an assumption). We consumer are being stripped off our money from Taxes and Tips left and right. As you have to make a living so do we! That behavior is not ok. read more

Not so happy nails. They don't really do a full manicure or pedicure because they pay no attention to the cuticles. During my pedicure, the tech was going to skip treating and trimming the cuticles. I called his attention to it. I'm a raised voice he said, "Later, later!!" I said "No, please do it now, before you do the nail polish". During the rest of the pedicure he was rough handed and stared into the distance. He had to add acetone thinner to the nail polish, I called him on it, I said it was old polish. He didn't like it and continued to paint my toes. I felt stuck. During my manicure, he removed the old polish, haphazardly cut and filed my nails and was ready to apply polish and I said "What about my cuticles?" He acted like he didn't understand and I said "Cuticles?" Again, in a raised voice he said "Later! Later!!" I said: "Do not raise your voice to me. The cuticles are ugly, you need to fix them". He walked over to another employee, who came over and had the gall to say: "That is extra." I said "How is it extra? I'm paying for a manicure." I stood up, paid for the pedicure and left Is this normal? Since when do I have to pay extra for the cuticles to be treated when I pay for a manicure??? And the tech raising his voice to me? Unacceptable. Wish I could leave zero star. Not happy, no good. Terrible service. read more

My nailtech is very nice and does a great job. I ve been coming here for years. The spa pedicures and very enjoyable!

First off I will say they did a great job and my tech was very personable. My daughters was not. Both my daughter and I had full sets and pedicures. I also had my lips and Eyebrows waxed. The cost when I was leaving about floored me. Not sure I'm am allowed to put what it was but it was super expensive! I should have looked at prices but we were trying to get ready for my sons wedding and we were from out of town. Happy to have actually found a place to go. While I was paying, a gentleman came in who had left something. They actually stopped him and told him(he had even left a tip) that he had under paid by $6. I found this very sad that they had to bug someone about $6. Very nice place but be prepared for the cost. read more

I popped in not realizing it was the beginning of a holiday weekend and it was crowded at 10:30am! They said it would be about a half an hour but literally in 10 minutes I was sitting in a chair with my feet in hot water! The pictures that are being shown on the site looks nothing like where I went so maybe they have done a complete refurbishing. It is fantastic inside, the chairs are comfortable and clean and the person who gave me a pedicure knew what they were doing! I'm very happy one of my clients told me about this place and said to ask for someone specific... Well I was happy and feel lucky to get anyone that quick. One of the best pedicures I've had. I'll be going back ... read more

Excellent! I made an appointment for 3 o'clock, but arrived at 2:45. Tuesday afternoon must be the perfect time because I almost have the place to myself. I was greeted immediately. Yoyo helped me find the matching color for my toes and my nails, and then seated in the chair. The salon is clean, refreshingly cool, and looks nice. I had the lavender essential oil pedicure. The 15 minutes of leg and foot massage was wonderful. I followed that with a gel manicure. Those turned out very nice. I also got a nice shoulder massage while my nails were drying. I did a little people watching, and all of the staff seemed very good with the customers. They were all very polite. I also felt very safe. The technician wore a mask and shield the entire time, and when she did my nails, there was actually plexiglass between me and her. The salon wasn't busy. Yoyo did my feet and nails. I spent one hour And 15 minutes in the salon. My essential oil pedicure and gel manicure was $76 before tip. read more

I would not recommend this nail salon. I got the $78 organic pedicure and regular manicure. Some of the steps in the description were skipped completely and I wasn't given a choice of scents. My feet still feel rough, I should've just walked on the beach in the sand and painted my own toes for free. As for the regular manicure, when I left I could see all kinds of bubbles in the top coat and within a few hours the polish had peeled off most of my nails. read more

let me make it easy for you mister boss man, Monica is not the best lady you have there. she does not do a good job, she has attitude, she doesn't know how to provide good service and thinks only about herself. my nails' umbre looks hideous, my pedicure is uneven. Your nasty reaction to the re-do request I made to you politely will cost you bad reviews & a disputE. read more

New Happy Nails - Where did the umbre go??????? - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Wow. Went in for a mani/pedi with my mom and hers came out great, no complaints. My pedicure was good but when it came down to my manicure, holy crap they tanked. Cut me on 4-5 fingers and I was actively BLEEDING. I was going to try and be nice about it, so I just mentioned it at checkout asking for a discount. The guy talked to a few people who seemed to be annoyed at my request then proceeded to bring up the girl who did my nails, when this is what I wanted to avoid. She apologized profusely and I felt horrible...but 20% off for cutting me 4-5 times!?!?!? Ridiculous. read more

I started going to happy nails may be four months ago, I am a guy so leaving a review on a nail salon means allot to me. They are VERY clean, very professional and do an amazing job. They do offer upgrades so be careful when you're getting a nail job, they offer upgrades for your manicure and pedicure which is what we normally get. Peter the owner is great and very attentive to his customers, today Saturday afternoon The salon had more men than women which was amazing to see. There were six guys sitting getting pedicures. I normally go and see Tina and my partner see's May. I highly recommend this place it's very clean and they are taking Covid seriously. read more

I didn't know Helga of the SS did mani/pedis. She's doing them at Sarasota Happy Nails. I'd booked for 2 people and when we arrived there was a huge fight between 2 techs (in their language, I assume Chinese) about who should take us. The others seemed to think this was biz as usual. My tech won, presumably because I was having gel which would mean more $. But she was MAD. And she had sharp tools. Note to self: if this kind of thing happens, leave, quickly, don't look back. She was aggressive 'no, no file, I cut, file take too long'. I now have the shortest nails of my life. Sprayed acetone until I choked, wouldn't let me wear my own flip flops 'you wear NOW, your shoes later'. And argued with me about how much to scratch the tops of my nails. 'You come back here tomorrow, polish come off, I not fix.' Also, my legs weren't in the right place, then my fingernails weren't right, then my fingers weren't being held in the right place, she jerked them several times. I've had kazillions of mani/pedis and never felt like a troglodyte before. My partner was having a nice time with his tech so I didn't suggest we leave, but I really should have. The woman hurt me (toes and fingers still sore) and the COST. This salon is easily 30% more than any other I have visited, on 2 continents. And the tech wanted more than the 20% tip I gave her. 'I can change your other bill...' Woman should have tipped ME--the amount of the service. The man at the front desk said you get a free mani with 2 visits, then marked my card for 1 visit (there were 2 of us, remember). The card says you get a free mani with 20 visits. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? If you have the name of a good tech here and don't mind the price, great. But if you book or want to simply walk in, stay away. Far away. read more

Probably one of the worst manicures I've ever received. Nails not well shaped, jagged edges, and left me cut and bleeding. Plus, it was rushed... what a surprise. Seemed like the technician didn't care at all. Definitely won't be back. Extremely disappointed because it looks like it could be a nice place, but the service was horrible. read more

The facility is nice, but the nail tech I had did a terrible job. He seemed to be the manager, and was completely distracted by managing customers while also trying to do a customer's nails (mine). I was there for a mani-pedi. The gel wasn't applied properly on my hands, and so it only lasted about four days before peeling. The pedicure looked ok, but he neglected to apply the shine coat. I think my 9-year-old niece could have done a better job. Waste of money; I won't be back. read more

WOW! Came here while on vacation in Sarasota and it was incredible. Best pedicure/massage. They were so sweet and comforting! 10/10 would recommend! Ask for Lisa! We will definitely be back every year read more

Thank you! I have tried other places but keep coming back. Summer is great. Thank you for thin natural looking dip nails.

I got gel mani and pedi because the place I usually go to closes at six. So I decided to go to this place and everyone at my work recommended. I got a gel manicure and pedicure for $78 and it was literally chipped in one day. The gel is flimsy and doesn't last. It peels right off. They don't pay attention to you and make you feel like you're not worth their time. I recommend Pro nails on Clark way better quality! read more

This place is so dirty, the chairs the table you don't want to touch with your hands. And the service is not good. Went in for acrylic and came out with ugly fat finger nails. They had no idea how to shape and so thick. I would avoid read more

Do not go! I had a pedicure that looks like a ten year old did it. The girl was so fast, it was not relaxing at all!!! Owners did nothing but smile and made believe (Asian salon) they didn't understand me. On top of that, while I was waiting for appointment, I fixed(polished) one of my nails and they charged me $5 without even telling me! It takes a lot for me to get upset and this is a place I will tell all my friends Not To Go! read more

have been going to this nail salon since they opened. You will not get a better spa pedicure anywhere! so many flavors to choose from (Chocolate, Rose, Orange, Lemon, Spearmint, Euclaptus and Lavender). I also get dip nails and my daughter gets gel nails. Richard, Cindy, Susan, Peter and Jenny are my favorites. They also give you a little back massage after your service as an added bonus! They do have massage chairs here also, and I have had many and have never been disappointed there either. This is my go to salon. Everyone is like family to me after this many years. Owners Peter and Susan are amazingly sweet individuals and always go out of their way to make sure all of the customers are happy. I see it first hand every time I go. I am there every 2 weeks and always look forward to my visit of pampering. read more

My appointment was at 9 AM yesterday. I arrived early and was very pleased that the doors were opened and I was welcomed in before that. While I choose my color nail polish everyone in the place was cleaning and wiping down all surfaces. I understand it was recently remodeled. It is a beautiful establishment. Nico did a wonderful job with a manicure on my natural nails. I was very pleased and will certainly make future appointments there. I would recommend checking them out. Everyone was welcoming. read more

This is my go to nail salon so when it came time for wedding nails, I decided not to go to a fancy, high end salon and stick to what I know! They did an amazing job!! I showed the owner a picture from Pinterest and she said she could do it! It was an ombre pink-white. She hand painted the dip polish and it came out perfect! Here are a few picks from a week later bc I forgot to snap a few from the day of. They still look great! read more
