A Must-Visit Gem! (Worth Every Minute) I'm currently in town for a business trip and decided to give this place a try based on the glowing Yelp reviews. I am so glad I did! Grace and Wilson provided some of the best service I've ever had at a nail salon. They were incredibly meticulous and took careful attention to the finished product, making sure every detail was perfect. I also really appreciated that they took the time to explain all the different options available rather than just rushing me into a choice. My nails look fantastic! A Pro Tip for Your Visit: This is a high-quality shop with a small, talented team. Because there are only a few technicians, they fill up fast! * Book Ahead: I highly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance. * Walk-ins: If you just drop in, be prepared to wait or potentially come back later for an open slot. Trust me, it is definitely worth the wait. I'll be making this my go-to spot every time I'm in the city! read more

Don't wait your money. Cheap and rude worst manicure I've ever had. So even though they're less expensive you'll want to try them don't bother save your money go somewhere else spend the extra $15 read more

Read all the one star reviews. They are more detailed than I am going to be because the experiences are very similar. Three years ago, my friends and I liked Grace and to her credit she does do a nice manicure. But holy moley- when you ask her to trim a hang nail or which shade of pink is more current, she is not nice! if you ask her to fix a smudge she gives you complete silent treatment. It's so childish. What's worse is she tells you she is too busy to book another appt. And that even in two weeks she has no time. What she is really saying is she doesn't want give you manicures. Meanwhile she answers her phone every 10 minutes booking appts. For people the same day, the next day, etc. It's outrageous and a blatant lie. It's serious mean girl behavior. But it's nothing compared to Wilson who is threatening and jumps out of his chair and yells at customers about anything like asking for clarification of different packages. He is so close to you that it's frightening and you can barely understand the points he is making because they aren't true. . He yelled at one customer ( a sweet senior citizen) to sit back down and he is going to take off the polish he just applied. . "Sit back down - sit back down!" He was in her face and pointing to the chair to sit in. There are many, many salons in the area - they are kind people - never have I ever heard employees be so angry to customer after customer. Like I said, only Grace does good work, but you have to deal with her passive aggressive behavior and who wants to do that! read more

Wonderful customer service!!! I got a pedicure here. Fantastic foot and leg massage. Immaculate pedicure. So kind,gentle and caring. Show Nails is professional and cares about their customers. A very relaxing and comforting atmosphere. I look forward to returning again! read more

I stumbled upon this place today when I was in Hoboken. I had an amazing experience and will go back when I'm in town. My toes and nails look great and the icing on the cake was the fabulous hydrotherapy head massage. Omg - don't walk- run!!! It was awesome and I'm telling all my friends about it. The techs were all skilled and friendly but also let u have your quiet time. It was a relaxing and quiet place despite many people getting services. It's women owned and run which I appreciated as well. I recommend going - even though it will probably mean I'll have to compete to get a time slot. Enjoy! read more

The environment is negative and Grace is rude. I am so disappointed as it is a convenient location. It's too bad as her manicure is very good, as well. Don't go there if you want to feel comfortable and treated nicely. I will not being going back again. read more

Show Nails & Spa - Top nail clipped by male worker...."please even them off" . Do not go here if you expec professional skill or courtesy. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I rarely take time to leave reviews, but I got gel mani for the first time here and 3 chipped within a day. I went back immediately and had them fixed, and the following day 2 more chipped. I'm on day 3 with 4 chipped nails and one has a crack. (1 of the new chipped ones was fixed and then broke again immediately). read more

Abysmal experience. I got a gel manicure, the man rushed through it, kept yelling at me and I left with gel paint all over my fingers. He had absolutely no idea what he was doing and then hovered over me for his tip (which I left, despite the terrible work). Of the 500+ gel manicures I've gotten in my life, this was hands down the worst. Do not recommend this place. Terrible way to waste $40. read more

Great manager/owner. Beautiful colors to choose from. Has a massage chair and TVs. Beautiful inside though I'd say some are fantastic at nails and there's the newer people that need to do more practice as my grandma left with a bad taste. Though I'd recommend them because they trying their best and are booked often. Need to make an appointment to see them and choose a particular person if you like. :) read more

Extremely patient and great customer service. I came in town for a wedding they were quick to work with my flight schedule. Very friendly staff. The one thing about the area is be prepared to look for parking. Parking can be difficult. You would also need to pay for parking in this area. read more

Not an amazing experience to say the least. The man that did my nails ( Wilson I believe was his name) was rude, up charged me for everything and at the end demanded a 20% tip. The gel manicure was subpar at best, he cut me and said nothing then made me feel stupid for asking questions. Honestly I just paid and got the heck out of there. Maybe they treat their regular clients better but I was just visiting. I'm sure there are better nail salons in the area; I would definitely not go back. 2* rating is very generous in my opinion. read more

Had a TERRIBLE experience with WILSON. He was very rude and dismissive from the get-go. Would pretend as if he doesn't hear me when he's right in front of me (not a language barrier ) He kept on filing my skin around my nail to the point where it almost bled and he would act very upset when I would slightly move from the pain, kept on nodding his head as if I'm causing him Discomfort. He did a terrible job at shaping my nails to achieve the Almond shape. On top of that they charge an extra $5 for the almond shape. I have never had any salon charge extra for shaping & I had came in with almond shape already too. At one point he started yelling at one of his colleagues in their language, in front of the clients. Extremely unprofessional! The only reason I didn't give this place 1 star is because previously I've had my nails done by GRACE & she always did an EXCELLENT job! She's always professional and so very nice! read more

I decided to check out Show Nails & Spa today after not getting a mani or pedi for MONTHS due to COVID. The salon was clean, sanitized tools were used, and I felt well taken care of. Grace was amazing. She spent so much time with me and paid so much attention to little details, making my nails and skin look fabulous.

Show Nails & Spa - OPI Gel "My Chihuahua Bites!" - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I scheduled a gel manicure, pedicure. When I arrived I showed them a picture of EXACTLY what I wanted... I sit down, the gentleman started but rushed through. When I noticed that he was painting them an entirely different (and wrong) color he got upset with me that he'd have to redo them! They started all talking to each other in another language and giving me dirty looks. The girl who was doing my manicure then told me that they don't carry crystals after they said they could do the design upon arrival. I left with just silver sparkly polish I could have done in 5 minutes on my couch! I was STILL charged $80 (full price)! I WILL NEVER BE BACK AGAIN! I wish giving somewhere 0 stars was an option. BEWARE! read more

Show Nails & Spa - THEY DIDN'T EVEN CLEAN/FINISH THE MANICURE ON MY NAILS PROPERLY! - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Such a great place! I moved here 6 months ago and have yet to find a salon that does dip well, until now. Wilson did my nails and they are absolutely flawless; he was such a perfectionist which I love. Their prices are very reasonable, plus they have a huge color selection of OPI and other good brands. Definitely will be coming back here! read more

Very clean and friendly place! I am from out of town, and they did a great job getting me in.

I typically don't write reviews but after the experience I had in this salon today I needed to at least let others know. I just moved to the downtown area and found this shop via google. I visited the shop three times seeing Grace all three times (because she got great reviews) and Wilson once (and he did not do a great job with the nail fix I had, and I didn't even say anything). On this last trip in I mentioned that my nails were separating from the dip powder and asked if she could place more product there to ensure that they would last the two weeks. I was polite and honestly didn't even think twice about and let her complete my service. They came out great. When I went to rebook at the end of the service she told me I could book with another tech but she couldn't see me because she was too busy. I asked what had changed. She just kept repeating that she was busy and worked too hard. Obviously upset I had questioned her work. She was very rude and made me feel awful. I have never felt this way in any nail shop and I can't believe that she would treat any customer this way, let alone someone who tips well and would never miss an appointment. Also someone new into town...what an awful impression. I certainly wasn't telling her how to do her job just what I needed adjusted to justify the cost of my service and having it done correctly. Of course I won't be returning, and I hope that she doesn't treat anyone else this way again. Too bad because I love to support local but will find another place to spend my money. And hopefully get better customer service. read more

I am new to Sarasota from NYC- my standards are high. I've been to Show Nails a few times and have never been disappointed. It's relaxing, clean and the technicians are very good. It's a nice large nail salon too, nicely decorated. I'll be back. I had a French mani with red tips today and a pedicure, fantastic! Great job I love it! read more

Show Nails & Spa - This is my French mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

They demand tips! And if not given they won't allow you to make another appointment (especially if you're black) saying they don't have any openings while I was literally looking at the book. I called and was refused as well after they kept asking me all kinds of weird questions. read more

Just had an excellent pedicure, at a better price than others nearby. And they have a large assortment of colors, arranged so you can easily find your preference. read more

Very pleasant experience. Wilson pays attention to details and did a wonderful job cutting and shaping my nails. He did a great job with my cuticles which is not easy. He tried his hardest to do the dip style "polish" and it came out looking like I touched a baggie when I had wet nail polish. He tried to correct the issue but only one nail truly looks smooth and shiny. I will continue going here but I may not try the dip method with Wilson. I will see how long it lasts .... read more

Show Nails & Spa - Challenging to capture the uneven texture in a photo - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I have been looking for a great nail salon in Sarasota since October and was willing to pay the higher prices and drive 30 minutes...... I was very disappointed. I get my nails and pedicure every 2 weeks and having been doing so for years.... I'm pretty experienced and admittedly picky. I want to be happy during and after my visit. Not one word was spoken to me and I am not exaggerating, I was actually uncomfortable ....I was not offered anything to drink... But... I can live with all that if I have a great pedicure and I'm happy with my gel polish.... I've never had such a minimal pedicure before? She barely buffed my feet and I don't have ugly dry feet (yet), she put some lotion on, massaged and called it a pedicure? I gave 2 stars because my gel polish seems fine but I just went earlier today... hopefully it lasts. read more

Best nail salon in Sarasota! All of the employees are amazing, take their time, and genuine. I'm a regular and think they do a fantastic job. Never had a bad experience. read more

I've been searching for a good nail shop in Sarasota and THIS IS IT! Looks like an average salon on the outside but the minute someone starts working on you, you'll notice the difference. Grace gave me an amazing gel manicure and luxury pedicure complete with 10-minute massage and paraffin. The best! Make sure you call for an appointment! read more

I planned a staycation for my wife's birthday in Sarasota and we booked at Shonal's downtown. The minute we walked in the man who barely spoke. English was rude. My wife had Joe with tips, and he immediately began arguing and yelling at her, telling her that she didn't know what she had. we walked out and it ruined our entire afternoon. If you decide to go to this place know that it is dark, dirty, dingy in the experience you get will not be customer centric. read more

Woo Hoo! A NYC nail salon right here in downtown! NYC staff (gracious and professional) and NYC prices. Walked in yesterday without an appointment. Short wait, so caught some sun on a bench outside. Jay did an awesome job on my mani-pedi (basic doesn't include scrub, but for $45...). We had a lovely conversation while he expertly shaped and polished my nails. I'd brought my own Zoya nail polish - but was thrilled to see they have almost a full panel of Zoya colors. They also do gel and powder, and waxing, etc. I'd really missed my bi-weekly mani-pedis - and now I don't have to wait for a special occasion! read more

If I could give this salon 0 stars, I would. Spent about 25 minutes in this salon and it was one of my worst salon experiences. I had done a foot peel a couple weeks ago so my feet were flaky and peeling. The entire time I sat in the pedicure chair my nail tech and the one aside her were being very disrespectful and talking rudely about my feet. I could read it in their body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. Not only was it very blatant that they were treating me poorly, they were laughing very loudly as well. When I started to give off the body language that I was uncomfortable, they immediately stopped talking, laughing, and making jokes all together. So it was very obvious that they caught my discomfort and felt guilty. They were making me feel very uncomfortable and it was a knock to my self esteem. It came to a point where I felt like I needed to excuse myself because I was extremely uncomfortable. And the entire staff decided to argue with me claiming that nothing ever happened. While this was happening, the male employee got the other customer that was there involved, talking about me yet again. So I decided to get up and leave because I was having an extremely horrible salon experience. 00000000 stars- extremely uncomfortable read more

Went to show nails my powder filling did not even last a week. When I had it done I picked a deeper color. She never had me wash my hands till after the fact. Nails had the powder all over my hands. Looked horrible! They broke did not last at all. Also got a pedicure. The nail polish was done so poorly on my toes. Just so disappointed! Will not be returning!! Beware! I give the place a 1. read more

The manicure and a pedicure Cyndy did for me and it was perfection! She did a beautiful job of prepping and cleaning up before painting. All the ends of my nails were straight across which really makes a difference in appearance. The polish was applied lawlessly. I've had a number of pedicures from a variety of salons in Sarasota, even some that cost way more, and have never been overly happy...but I am now. Show Nails wins hands down! read more
