I went to this place to get my nails done, but they didn't turn out how I asked. final results looked completely different from what I wanted. I paid over a lot for them, and I'm really disappointed with how they came out. On top of that, one of my nails broke after only a few days. I'm not happy with the quality or the service. I would not recommend go somewhere else read more

The staff was ok but they kept trying to get you to do extra things and I didn't like that. I hate feeling pressured to get service I don't quite care for. A week after my pedicure, both my toe nails cracked and broke. That's never happened before, so not my nails. The paint was chipping. On my hands, I noticed she didn't second coat the colors, so they aren't as vibrant as they should be. They aren't terrible, but I regret my design choice. My daughter got a full set that cost me 88$, and they started breaking days after. They are really nice, tho, and the woman who did my eye brows did an amazing job. It's in a nice location by a bunch of other shops and restaurants. read more

went in for a mani & pedi, truly the worst I've ever had, think the tech was irritated i didn't want gel.. she did both in 45 min.! How good could it be in that amount of time! read more

I was called to come in earlier than my appt. So o came in at that time and waited 20 mins. Then she rushed thru my very simple gel manicure. I had polish on my skin. No hand massage or even lotion. Took 20-30 mins. And put the wrong color on to match my toes. read more

You guys freaking suck. read more

This place is awesome, very clean environment and staff are so friendly. I had Cindy, she was very kind and right to the point on what she was doing. The prices are amazing too for what you get. No complaints at all. God bless this place! read more

The nail technician I have been seeing for years is Cindy. While other technicians in other salons seem to come and go, Cindy is usually available. While her English is very broken, I do not have a problem communicating with her. She does excellent work, and her leg massages are the best. Please give her a try when you are looking for a great nail technician at a reasonable price. The place is very clean and there is no odor, which I have experienced at other nail salons. read more

First time here and it was by accident. It was busy but they took us immediately. SiSi worked on me and it was one of the best leg/foot massages I've ever had. The warm lotion and hot stones were perfect as well. Happy with the service, glad we found it by accident. read more

Every gal there does wonderful work. Hannah is usually who I have and we have loads of laughs while she is working on my nails, read more

Do not recommend Went here for a manicure and polish, it did not look good when finished as it was very messy. Overpriced and underdone. Said payment didn't work but it did as it was approved and on my bank app. Beware of this facility read more

I would occasionally go to Solar Nails as I live nearby. I always had good experiences. In October, I received a pedicure. The nail tech was removing an ingrown toenail. I told her several times it was hurting me and further, that I had never had a pedicure where I broke out in a sweat! She lightly laughed and kept going. After that pedicure, I had two months of visiting three doctors (virtual, primary care and eventually a podiatrist), antibiotics, soaked in Epsom salt, vinegar and warm water. Finally the Podiatrist I saw said a nail tech is NOT trained to remove ingrown toenails. Part of the ingrown toenail was left in and trying to come through the top of my toe! Four shots later, this was removed and I am hoping to be at the end of this saga. NEVER let a nail tech remove a full ingrown toenail!!! Trust me- I will not be going back to Solar Nails! read more

I went in for a basic $33 pedicure. A woman named Sam upsold me to a $40 one. She then proceeded to make fun of my toes the entire pedicure. She also made fun of my tattoo. Then when I checked out, the pedicure was suddenly $55. I will not be returning. read more

I came here as they were still doing their grand opening hoping this would be my new nail salon after moving to ST Pete. I asked for a nail color, 113. It's bright pink. The lady came to me and showed me a similar color to the one i had and claimed it was 113. it was a darker pink with sparkles. She painted it on me. She told me this one is the same one you saw up front. After paid, i realized not only did she give me the wrong color, and i showed her... but she also did a horrible job with the acrylic application. she made it way too thick and looked BEYOND a natural nail. After paying i left. i went outside and realized how horrible my nails were so i went inside and told her. she had NO problem making corrections after the fact. My nails still look like crap honestly but it's a lot better than what it was before. thank you for making the corrections but please sharpen on your skills. Sad to say but i won't be coming here again. read more

Broke couple nails while on vacation here in Palm Harbor and Diane saved me! I might break a few more just to use her again!!! She found a color that matches and it looks AMAZING. No wait. Staff were all so helpful and friendly. I can not recommend enough. I've been getting my nails done for years and it's sometimes hard to trust strangers with acrylic but these guys know exactly what they're doing. read more

Solar Nail - Broke a nail while on vacation and Diane saved me! Found a color that matches and it looks AMAZING. - Nail Salons Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Super clean with all new spa chairs. I enjoy this please very much. I'm glad I'm close by. I go here to get pedicures and ingrown tow nails remove. Totally recommended. read more

Will not be returning. I had a dip manicure that left colour on the skin of my fingers that the tech did not clean. All my nail edges are rough and if I have to touch anything fine, like hose or tights, will snag. Also, they are a bit on the pricey side. read more

Tina is the best! I have had several pedicures done by Tina and I am always pleased. Tina is prompt, sweet, and professional. I highly recommend her.. read more

I Live in San Diego but am out in Florida visiting family and desperately needed a pedicure and my acrylics removed. Natalie did an awesome job with my pedicure and was so gentle removing my acrylics. She was also super sweet and fun to talk to. I will definitely be back when I come back for a visit! read more

Solar Nail - Pedicure by Natalie - Nail Salons Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Third time frequenting this salon after moving to the Ridgemoor area. I was excited because it is conveniently located near my home and I want to support the local businesses as much as possible. But, after three tries I may need to take my business elsewhere. The pedicures have been decent but the manicure and nail services each time has been awful. The last two visits I chose dip nails. However, within 3-7 days the dip nails lift. Dip nails are suppose to last 3 weeks which offsets the extra expense. When I went back to address the lifting, they said maybe my nails can't handle dip, maybe too oily. What???! How about poor technique and application? So disappointed in the lack of customer service, poor product quality and apparent waste of time and money!! read more

We just moved to the are and my wife and I have already been there about four times between the two of us and had great service each time. The entire staff is very friendly and are very skilled. I have yet to experience a wait and seem to always enough people in there to keep up with the amount of customers. We are lucky to have found this place after striking out at Prana Nails on Tampa Rd. read more

Kind of a mixed experience but I really appreciated the effort my technician put in. First time getting acrylics, and from what I can see the price was pretty reasonable. One star lost only because I have a few uncomfortable nicks and cuts near the nail read more

I read some of the reviews from some time ago and I was quite confused. Then I learned that the owners, Lee and Giao bought the salon one year ago. Solar Nails is by far the most professional, well-kept salon I have been to. Ever!! The nail technicians, Cindy, Diane and Hannah are highly trained and to say they are perfectionists is an understatement. Going to the salon should be a wonderful, stress-free experience. I won't go anywhere else! These amazing folks will take great care of you!! read more

Lovely place I will be back! Just one suggestion? More color choices and matching colors for pedicures to match powder nails. When I left I looked at the colors on my toes vs. my nails and definitely different colors by far read more

I have been going to Solar Nails now for awhile and I must say I love this place. They are friendly and do a great job especially the technician I see Tina. She is thorough and professional. Always a good experience.i even wait after visiting up north to come back to get my nails done by Tina. read more

2.5 hours to do a mani/pedi!! There were only two techs working so I could understand if there was a bit of a wait...BUT within 9 days my shellac chipped and turned yellow. I will definitely not be returning. read more

It looks like I found a new nail salon! I came in for the first time to get a pedicure and I left extremely happy. Cindy was my nail technician and I have no complaints what so ever. She took her time doing my pedicure and did not rush a thing. It's hard to find a good salon that will take their time instead of just trying to get you in and out but this place cares! Their prices are comparable to other salons in the area. I recommend coming to solar salon if you're looking for a good caring nail salon! I will definitely return! read more

They do a decent job painting nails but they try up sell on everything. The upsells aren't worth it! The worst part is timers are constantly going off. The staff easily ignores them but they are very annoying. Not a relaxing environment at all. There are plenty of nail spas in the area. read more

Great work is done here by Jimmy and his lovely T. They are always accommodating. Very relaxing, never rushed.

They do a good job on manicures and pedicures, the massage chairs are nice, as is the staff. My problem? They don't honor their gift cards if they were issued beyond 1 year. So, their gift cards, apparently "expire" despite never mentioning this at the time of purchase. Also, gift cards cannot be used for tips, just services. I've bought spa gift cards at other places, and they can be used for services and tip, and do not expire. So this really is disappointing. read more

This is a great nail salon - skilled nail techs, clean and sterilized equipment, and a great assortment of gel polishes, dip powders, colors, etc. I've had my nails done there by Diane, and manicures done by several of the personnel. Always a relaxed and enjoyable experience, reasonable prices, and a comfortable environment. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Went there plenty times, Lee is great at nails but everyone else there is terrible! Asked for coffin shaped acrylics and gave me very almond shaped and the acrylic was all uneven and honestly worse nails I've ever gotten. Don't go unless u ask for Lee! read more

I just started getting my nails done here and I love them. The staff is great. Best pedicures in town. I like that they don't rush you and they treat all their customers with courtesy. Will be going back. read more

More health code violations than I could count in my hour in there! First, the place smelled like mildew, and it took a few minutes to realize it was the pound of rotting bananas in the bowl right next to my pedi chair. Second, the very sweet girl who did my pedicure, whom I am positive it was her first day based on her confusion and constant questions to the owner, pulled out that "cheese grater" tool that most places have been banned from using. I quickly objected and asked for just the pumice stone. Overall, the place was not kept at all, personal belongings everywhere, dirty chairs, scary looking, "disinfectant" jars, and my pedicurist's phone kept ringing off the hook to a rap song. never again!! read more

I went to solar nails Last time.Hannah did me menicure and pedicure very good.the shop clean,music very relaxing.I love solar nail.somebody can go to try read more

Love the relaxing, calm atmosphere. The owners and staff are friendly, courteous, professional,and creative, often suggesting just the right color, product if you need a suggestion. Some clients bring their own colors and that is welcomed also.If you would like a design,whether whimsical, subtle or festive, you need to ask them, for they do not advertise designs, but do an excellent job (whether from a photo or imagination.) I've tried other salons, but like this the best. I have used for manicures, gel overlays, gel color, waxing, permanent make-up. They offer acrylics as well.Many clients are regulars.They prefer appointments, but also try to fit in walk-ins. read more

I have been going to Solar Nails for the last 4 years. The are awesome. I was a nail tech several years ago and went through many local salons before I found this location. They follow the required cleaning processes and I can assure not all nail salons on East Lake road do. They are Very friendly and always get me in and out quickly. If you are in a big hurry you can always call ahead (even on the same day) and make an appointment. read more

I love this place. Jimmy does an amazing set of pink & white tips... they never fall off & I wait (much) too long between fills

I have been going to Solar Nails for years and have never had a problem. My daughter went last week and they cut her and she has infected nail beds. I called and said I'd bring her in but would like a refund. They told me no refunds and they're not sure she didn't do it to herself. Unreal!! read more

Good service I will go back. Nice people and friendly environment. Ask for Tia, she was awesome
