Let me start by saying that I have natural nails. I am an IT Program Manager and type a lot, so I…read moreprefer to keep them short. I get regular manicures, so no gel, acrylic, dip, etc. I also typically bring my own polishes with me. I've been in Tampa for a/b 2 1/2 years now, and before finding The Spa by Folashadé, I'd tried anywhere from 8 - 10 different places, and I was always disappointed in something. Whether it was the service, the wait, the quality of work, cleanliness or quality of the location, etc...it was always something. I almost gave up, but then I found HER! I'd asked in a Tampa Facebook group for suggestions, and Thank the Lord for the person who recommended The Spa by Folashadé! Trust me when I say that I am super picky a/b the quality of work, customer service, overall cleanliness, and the maintenance of the health of my nails.
From day one, she has impressed me and has never disappointed. She listens to her clients and will pivot and make adjustments as necessary. She cleans and sanitizes thoroughly between clients, and I've never seen one spec of dust or any type of build up anywhere! Additionally, she doesn't usually do nail designs on natural nails, but I asked her to, and she used her creative skills to come up with something cute, even though it was out of her comfort zone. I can't stress enough how much those little things mean in a service oriented field. I've posted several pics, but they don't do justice at all b/c of lighting.
I especially love the "experience" of The Spa by Folashadé. It is a true one on one, luxurious, "spa like" experience, so I am ok paying premium prices for that. Even the music she plays is a whole vibe! For as long as I reside in the Tampa Bay Area, I will never go anywhere else. U have to experience it for yourself, and you'll totally understand why!
