So the place is okay . The woman that did my nails did a good job , but the place felt dirty . Someone screamed in pain when someone cut them (another technician ) I am weary to go back. read more

I had a friend turn me onto this place years ago and have never considered going to another nail place since! The staff are the best! And the quality of service provided is simply top notch! read more

I went here today with my Mom. We both got standard manicures and pedicures. We made an appointment with about an hour of notice. I love the location right on Davis Island. We stopped at Tea Bella to bring a cup of lavender and lychee tea for our appointment. Mina and Helen were so nice and attentive. They did a beautiful job. The salon was clean and all the tools were in sterilized plastic. The massage was so relaxing, I almost fell asleep. This is my new favorite nail salon. It's perfect for a girls day, especially with the close proximity of great lunch or dinner options. This is my new favorite nail salon. Will definitely be back. read more

T & L Nails - Dip chrome nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Located on Davis Islands in a small strip center, there is plenty of street parking in front of the store, and on the streets nearby. Based on the other reviews, I made sure to go at an off-time, around 4:45 pm, and I got right in with no wait. The woman who did my pedicure did a fantastic job, and I'm very happy with how perfect they look. A basic pedicure cost $30, which seems to be on the high end of average these days. Now the cons, compared to the other nail salons that I really like: 1) Not offered any beverage to drink. 2) They will nickel and dime you to death. Want this "higher quality" nail polish? $5 extra. Want callus remover? $10 extra. But they don't TELL you it actually costs more until you are paying. 3) Overall, just generally not warm and friendly, which you would expect from a customer-service business. 4) The board where you pick your color from is a hot mess, with zero color organization, and many of the polishes look like they've been there over five years; I can't imagine that they would go on smoothly. If I ever go back, I'll bring my own polish. Because I enjoyed my pedicure, I would definitely go back if I was in the area, but I would bring my own water and nail polish with me. read more

Finally made it back in for a manicure after....gulp.... 2 1/2 years! WOAH! I walked in - was going to put in my name and head next door for a bite at Anchor because the hours were showing open til 7 pm. But , but they had time right then and there and they are really only open til 6! Maybe since covid, did their times change... So, I got my very first gel-job. And Terri? was super fast and efficient. Love the color and so far, a week in, they have stayed perfectly painted and I'm pretty tough on my nails! I'll be back and maybe even try the newer location on Kennedy. Both are pretty close to me. YAY nails! read more

Best with T&L nails did a wonderful job! I wanted a French manqure and she made it look very natural with my normal nails. Even taking the extra steps to color match with me. read more

T & L Nails - The girl that did my nails. - Nail Salons Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Wish they would honor appointment times... and acknowledge their customers upon arrival. I don't feel like I was treated with respect. My pedicure was amateur. I have NEVER had a pedicure chip within just a few days but it happened here. I had to completely remove it because it was embarrassing. My gel manicure was subpar as well. She used a drill to remove the gel and it made my nails super thin. Two of them snapped completely in a half about a week later. I asked for a specific shape and none of the nails matched. After the gel set, she tried to reshape them but that ended up removing the gel on the sides... read more

I go to the location on Kennedy. They have never disappointed me. So many options and they can literally recreate any picture you show them. read more

My girl Nishia did my acrylics, she does a great job with whatever design I bring her. Today she brought out the gold fleck paper and she could have said "and for my final trick," as she is truly a magician! Patty typically does my waxing, and we alway enjoy a good laugh, as an added bonus. The staff is very friendly and it always feels like home. read more

It was probably the cleanest gel application on my pedicure I've ever had. The only problem is their $32 pedicure is timed so short and it seemed like there was steps missing and I know this because I've been getting pedis for years and I used to work in a nail salon. And then I find out it's an additional $10 for them to take care of my callus? Isn't that what a pedicure is supposed to be? No complimentary hot towels unless you pay the 50 dollar pedi, no drink offered, no lotion and just oil? Did I just sit there to get my feet washed and polished? Not to mention gel is an additional $20. The lady was pleasant but it seemed like she was occupied with so many things while doing my pedicure. read more

Walked in and was taken to the chair immediately! They were very clean and thorough and my nails and toes look amazing !!!

Called ahead by an hour on Saturday for a mani/pedi. At the verge of sounding close minded, I must note that the fluency of the English at this salon makes communication awesome, in person & on the phone. Pardon my ignorance. Went in, they sat me almost immediately and made room for my other half to get a pedi (a true test of masculinity, I know. He sucked it up.). The chairs are awesome, my pedi was fabulous and meticulous...it's been a long time since someone paid that much attention to a polish application & clean up. Made my day. That was enough to make me go back. During my visit, I also had my first experience with Shellac on my fingernails. It's 4 days later and not a chip or flaw to be seen & I have been mean and rough on my hands cleaning, etc. Heavy duty! T&L, we're buds. read more

My mom was getting her nails done for her wedding coming up in 3 days and her nails looked HORRIBLE. She had glue all on the bottom of her nails and was shaking because she had a wedding in 3 days. Every time I go there my nails look bumpy and weird they NEVER do good do not recommend! read more

What a great experience. The super friendly staff made us feel very welcome. We called an hour ahead and they were ready for us when we arrived. We picked our color and were seated right away. My sister and I each got a pedi and our technicians were so nice, providing valuable info about the area and good restaurant recs! My toes look wonderful and the massage was very nice! The salon is bigger than it looks from the exterior. It's super clean too! I am so happy to have this place on my new island! read more

T & L Nails - Beautiful! - Nail Salons Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I thought having a good manicure and pedicure in a pristine business establishment that allowed clients to be comfortable and to be charged a reasonable price was a thing of the past. Glad to be proved wrong. Visited this nail salon on Davis Islands for the first time and really regret I did not try it sooner. Called on a weekend for an appointment for a basic manicure and pedicure and was able to book both just 30 minutes after the call. Plenty of parking surrounding the business which is a big plus. Made my way inside and was immediately greeted and asked to select my preferred nail polish colors. So good, so far. Seated in a pedicure chair and there was a printed list of procedures and prices. Excellent. A pet peeve is when there is an attempt to up sell me to opt for a more pricey procedure. There to choose from or choose not to use. The person who tended to me was outstanding. Really took care, took time and took skill to make my way too long neglected nails look fabulous. I loved the whole vibe here. Really comfortable and casual and nothing that made me feel rushed. The entire place was well maintained and the service was spot on for everything from treatments to check out. Love this. Looked far too long for this. Can't wait to get back for more of this. read more

They are so clean and hygienic in here it's amazing to see. My pedicure was amazing and my manicurist was so funny. She made me feel like I was at home here. I wish I lived here cause this would definitely be my home shop read more

This has got to be my favorite nail shop in Tampa. I don't get my nails done regularly because 1. I am a wimp and don't like how it feels sometimes (some places are rough!) 2. I never make the time for it. 3. I'm picky on the finished product. Well, T&L nails definitely knocks out those 3 reasons I hate getting my nails done! 1. They are always super gentle. 2. They take call ahead reservations and try to get you in an out. 3. They are superb at gels and I always leave with perfect looking nails! I'm not kidding. In addition to the above, the staff is very friendly and the place is clean without all the cheesy nail art photos from the 80's decking the walls. It's a family owned and operated business which I think adds to the care they take in satisfying their customers. Every time I go, they seem to know everyone by name. This place is the best nail shop in town! read more

Always make an appointment or call ahead before going in, especially on the typical busy days like weekends. This place is wonderful for me when i'm in a pinch, or just when i need my nails done for photo shoots or events. The owners are wonderful people, they do keep tabs on the latest trends and it's my favourite place for chrome or diamonds. They have a lot of other specialty services as well and prices are fair, and in a convenient location, parking is next to never an issue. read more

I went here as my friend was visiting from out of state and my nail shop is closed to move locations. Thought I'd try here as it's close. Henry is by far the worst technician I've ever had. He was so busy watching videos on his phone he paid no attention to my pedicure. Then moved on to the powder dip. He cut my nails super short (without asking what length I wanted) and now 6 days later the gel is chipping off. In many years of having powder I haven't had this happen. Do not let him touch you, he's awful. Zero stars read more

The staff here is very nice but I did not have a good experience. I asked for a regular manicure and to have my acrylics removed. Instead of soaking and then filing my nails to get them off (which is how they are suppose to be removed at a salon) she snapped them off which didn't feel great. After that I soaked my nails in a bowl full of remover and once I was done she put the same remover I used to soak my nails back into the bottle so it could be used again. I thought that was very unsanitary and pretty gross. I was then charged an extra $15 for the removal of my acrylic nails which I could have done myself if I knew she was just going to shove something under them to snap them off. So in total I ended up paying $35 for the "removal" and the manicure. At that point I rather have just gotten a new acrylic set for $35. read more

Best place for a quick, no-fuss mani or pedi from talented AND friendly staff. I usually get gels and I've loved all my visits. By no-fuss, I don't mean they short-cut you but I wouldn't describe it as a spa. Sometimes I enjoy those types of places, but I always come back here because ultimately, the end results are just way better. The quality and experience are so consistently five-star that, though I can recall one-less than-perfect situation, I can't remember what the issue was. The staff are genuinely kind as well. There are no uncomfortable language barriers, or internal chatting that you aren't a part of. I feel like a client, not a just a body with nails attached, if that makes sense. read more

There is never a wait here at least every time I come here. My favorite nail tech no longer works here but I continue to come here because of the professionalism and the good quality of work and service they provide here. The staff here is very talented. I the cleanliness and I especially love how sanitary they are here as they put a new plastic liners after every pedi and sterilized the tools used after ever service. Good news you can bring your own wine here to drink and that's an added bonus. So worries for the free cheap stuff most salons may provide. read more

Highly recommend . Salon clean . Staff friendly. Especially they did very good job about SNS.

I used to come here regularly for my nails and toes but I got tired of the way they treat their customers. It seems like they stay so busy that they don't have to care but I would warn anyone coming as a walk in, they will let you sit there for as long as you let them if they are busy. They'll tell you to sit in an empty pedicure or nail chair but then won't attend to you. I witnessed a woman waiting 45 min and when she brought it up, no one apologized. They just said they're busy. I myself was made to wait over 30 min when I actually had an appointment and I ended up leaving. Again no apology. Another occasion I showed up for an appointment and they told me my requested tech would be running late...by an hour! She had double booked me without telling me! I asked why wasn't I given a call so I didn't waste a trip over there and again they didn't apologize just said they're busy. They have limited color choices as well, I found a new home for my nails with better service. read more

Beth was amazing! I was really nervous getting my nails done again as I've had really bad experiences from other salons lately. She was a perfectionist and would recommend 10/10 read more

Staff is really nice and friendly. Never happy with my acrylics here, but they are great for pedicures and touch ups. I don't recommend getting your acrylics here. I've been getting them done for ten years and went back to my nail tech an hour away because they have very sloppy nails. I've added a difference to show the quality. Other than that I will come back for my pedicures and small things. read more

Always friendly and helpful, hardly any waiting there. I highly recommend this place. Me and my daughter goes there for pedicures

Called for a same day appointment for a regular pedicure a half hour before they closed, no problem! Showed up on time and was seated & started within 5 mins, awesome! My nail tech, Helen, was very nice & quiet. I wanted to enjoy a relaxing pamper sesh and it was just that. She trimmed my nails perfectly and the massage was good (although who wouldn't love a longer one lol). Amy finished off my paint and was so courteous. Definitely had a very easy and pleasant experience. Found my new favorite place. read more

I've been coming here for about 6yrs now. Moved off Davis Island and kept coming back because I felt comfortable and I prefer Jen to do my nails. The quality of polish has gone down the past few months. They do not have ANY matching polish... NOT ONE! I spend between $120-$180 a month for my nails and prefer to get what I pay for. Suggested the owner find a new distributor so the gel polish matches the regular. The attitude I got today after years of patronage I am disgusted! RUDE to a loyal customer! Bye read more

During both the times that I have lived in Tampa, THIS is the best place to get nails and toes pretty! I go to Mia for nails. She is absolutely fantastic! You need only tell her once how you like them. She will fix them until you like and then she remembers when you return. For pedicure, everyone is amazing!! They take thier time with the exfolitation and massage which, truly, isn't this what the whole thing is about?? :) Everyone there is so nice and if you want to chat, they are great. But if you just want to relax and read brainless gossip mags, they respect that too! I use the same nail polish for my fingers every time (OPI "Passion"). Lovely nude pink color. When I couldn't find it on the wall, the girls went looking for it all over the shop. Then just opened a new one for me. THAT is what makes them awesome! They want you to be happy with the work/service. And I am!! :) You absolutely CAN tip on credit/debit cards!!! I am a tried and true customer! :) read more

I have been going to T&L for a few years now and it is my favorite nail salon. I usually try go during the week and in the morning or early afternoon when it's less crowded. The salon is always clean and I am very happy there. I usually call ahead and make sure Henry is there - his foot massage is the best! read more

I went here just for an eyebrow wax, so I can't speak for the mani/pedi's but overall, I wasn't impressed. Though the woman was very gentle, it was wam-bam-thank-you-mam and after my 3 minute wax was over, I had to go home and finish tidying up. The price also seemed to be a little steep for a nail place. I would expect to pay more at a special wax studio, but not in the back room of a nail salon. I've since found a better spot for my waxing needs. read more

$20 for a Shellac color change. $30 for a Shellac manicure. I opted for just the color change, but Tracy still filed my nails and put cuticle oil. She took her time with my color, which is especially important for the lighter ones to avoid streaking. What an amazing job! If I can get Tracy, I'd definitely return. read more

Niece is the best in the business. I've been going to her for years. She always picks my color and shape and I love it every time :)

If only businesses could raise the bar on service, there would be so many more five stars. Been going to this place for quite a while but my time is valuable as well. Finally got tired of not being acknowledged when arriving, waiting and waiting though an appointment was set, and taking the initiative for service though I am the customer. Even when I called to set an appointment for myself and a friend who was visiting, the person who answered the phone set it down. After fifteen minutes I tried to call back but it was busy because it was still off the hook. Quality looking nails aren't cheap and one should expect good service from the time one walks in the door until the time one leaves. There is a lot of competition out there so don't compromise. Though the last appointment was scheduled for two hours, I ran out of time and had to leave without getting my whole service. Fortunately a friend recommended another business and they got me in the next day. The service was exceptional and my nails look amazing. They even called me by name three times while I was there. Wow, lesson learned. read more

Don't be fooled, This place sucks. Nice atmosphere and but the nails don't last what so ever. I had acrylics for two days and one broke in half on the second day and I got it fixed cause I was going on a trip. Before I even got off the plane three of my nails broke. I tied my shoe and one went flying, I shut my car door and another one went flying. Ive been going here for about 3 years and I'm so done with this place, terrible nails every time. Not worth the $50 for less than a week of wearing. read more
