    I went for the first time today and I really enjoyed the experience. I booked online, she had hours available outside the norm (I'm an accountant and it's our busy season), got me in and out so I could get to work, very pleasant, down-to-earth, lovely woman and did a fantastic job on my gel manicure. I've already booked a 2nd appointment for a pedicure and another gel mani in 2 weeks.

    I had a mani pedi with Cynthia and it was amazing! Cynthia is so fun and welcoming, I had a blast chatting with her while I was being pampered. You really understand that Cynthia is a true professional when she talks about the procedures and antiseptic technique that she uses and you can tell that she truly values the health of her clients. The pedicure was heavenly and my manicure looks amazing! She helps you pick the right color for your nails and mine turned out exactly how I wanted. I've been to lots of other nail salons in the Sarasota area, and most of them rush you through the process and just point you in the direction of the polish without any guidance. I would highly recommend The Nail Lab! Can't wait for my next appointment!

    My first foil treatment and with an upcoming birthday, I wanted something edgy, fun and chic! Cynthia nailed it!

    I usually get my nails done at the typical neighborhood "walk-in" nail salon, but after a bad experience at another salon I decided to research nail salons via Yelp. I'm SO, SO happy I did because the reviews were right! This IS the Number #1 Nail Salon in Sarasota!!! Here's why I'm impressed: 1) On-line Appointments: easy, peasy! I picked my day/time and then reserved my slot with a debit card. 2) Nice Location: I'm new to this area and so it was a pleasant surprise to discover her boutique is inside of a cute hair salon in a very posh area near DT Sarasota. 3) Quality Spa-like Treatment: Cynthia paid close attention to each and every nail from her initial assessment of the quality of my nails down to the final topcoat polish. She made a recommendation and then explained/educated me on what she would do and why. She also used fresh quality products (no odd odors/smells or old outdated dried-up nail polishes). The final result was the best nail experience I've ever had because my nails and hands looked amazing! 4) Options: I also liked that Cynthia can accommodate the ultra conservative look (French Manicure aka pink & white) to the hip and trendy styles (designs, colors, nail shapes). I'm a housewife so I like to have fun with my nails now especially after years of wearing French Manicures for corporate America. Unfortunately, I have steered away from the fun, cool designs for fear of my nails looking a hot ghetto mess. I am SO happy I have found Cynthia because I love the foil treatment she did: it's edgy, fun and chic! I've received SO MANY compliments and can't wait to try something new! 5) Price: I was pleased with her competitive price schedule especially for the quality of services received. Cynthia is very nice, smart and creative and I'm so happy I've found her.

    Glitter!!

    I had an amazing experience with Cynthia! I am traveling for business and had some down time so I did some research and saw good reviews on yelp! I am so glad I found her and will definitely be back when I'm here for business. I came in for a mani and loved all of her polish options! A lot of times I go to salons and they only have 1000 shades of pink. Cynthia has lots of varieties of colors as well as foil fun and glitter! Of course she will do a beautiful regular color but lots of fun options if you're feeling funky! Her knowledge of nail care was also a big thing for me. I like how she communicated what she was doing any why it was good and healthy for my nails and skin. She uses a variety of different tools for various reasons and has a very gentle touch! I came back the next day for a pedi! Very happy with the results! Highly recommended!

    Gorgeous navy blue and gold accent nail. Completely gel. I got this mani over a month ago and it's still going strong! I love it!!!!!
    Becca D.

    Cyndi is absolutely incredible!! She is brilliant when it comes to caring about, and educating me on the HEALTH of your hands and feet, and really treated me like a queen. My mani/pedi was a lovely navy blue with rose gold glitter as an accent finger. This was the best experience and I cannot wait to come see her again. I recommend her to everyone because she sets the bar with her impeccable service. I just love her, and you will too!!

    White nails with silver foil!

    Traveling in to Sarasota from New York, I had absolutely no idea where I needed to go to get my nails done right. I called Cynthia, and she was able to take me right away. Not only did she help guide me to choose the perfect nails to match my dress, she gave me one of the best pedicures of my life! Cynthia also provided wonderful conversation throughout the whole service. You can really tell that she loves what she's doing at The Nail Lab and has a complete range of the highest end products to assist in showcasing her lovely work. Only once in a while do you stumble upon a salon that leaves you feeling like a million bucks, but Cynthia makes sure you leave feeling like the true Goddess you are. I will definitely be coming back to you as soon as I'm in SRQ again!

    Pumpkin pedicure by The Nail Lab!

    It was my first time at "The Nail Lab" and Cynthia was very welcoming. I decided her grand opening in Dec 2014 was a good time as any to check it out. I opted for the pedicure and she mentioned the pumpkin option for my pedicure. It was a very good option as I've never had before. Cynthia was very experienced it seemed and by the end of service I had made up my mind to return when my nails needed to be done. Very affordable and has Valentine's packages as well. Overall 5stars! Great job Cynthia! I look forward to my next visit.

    This is the first time I have had to change my gel pedi in over 2 mo. there was growth but no chipping at all!

    This is by far the best nail place in Sarasota. Snow and Wayne take their time and their services…read moreare top notch. I've never been disappointed with my nails. They never rush, always go above and beyond and my nails (fingers and toes) last for weeks!

    Outstanding service, professional, spotless and sanitary. Great selection of colors, DND, and Opi…read morepolish. They may have more but I honestly didn't notice. This was a spur of the moment impulse decision and I'm glad they had an opening for me. Snow, the manicurist, did my gel manicure and she knows what to do. She expertly gave my nails a much needed shaping, checked with me several times to ensure that I was pleased with her progress. Snow was friendly, attentive, and after her relaxing massage my nails really looked pretty and ready to kick off the summer looks. She's fast with quality experienced work. Absolute pleasure. Off to the Massage chair I went and found that I really needed it! Wayne did my pedicure. Friendly, gentle, and left my toes and heels so smooth. Oh, so relaxing. Wayne was detailed and ensure my toe nails were evenly shaped and removed dead skin too. I honestly didn't even feel him working on my cuticle, that's how gentle he worked. Great way to end the work week. It is an extremely peaceful friendly salon with reasonable competitive prices without the drama. Loved it! Plenty of parking in this plaza, too! Oh, Yelpers don't forget we get $5 off for the first visit when you get a manicure and pedicure! Yes, they honored it!
