Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in St. Petersburg, FL (Part 2)

Daniel Phillips Todays pedicure made me happy. The technician was Sarah, who is a genuinely nice lady. I received a pedicure that included sea salt scrub and heated towels very soothing. Ive only visited this salon twice, and the second time was better than the first. My feet look fantastic! Im grateful, Sarah.

Moussa Balla Ashley is the best! She has restored my nails that were battered and beaten by bad acrylic and bad gel! Everyone that works there is so sweet and makes the whole experience so relaxing. Very unpretentious and welcoming. As a former nail tech, Im beyond picky about getting my nails done and have never been disappointed!

Holly Quimby I get builder gel. Lisa is always down to try my interesting design requests. I get lots of compliments and the nails have lasted me 4 weeks.

Oly A I drove by this place and needed a quick manicure. This is not my regular place i go to, but i thought there was no way you could mess it up on manicure. I have no words how bad this is. It took her 15 min to do and cost me $28. Ridges on the nails! Cuticles are still there! I give 2 stars because the lady was nice.

Brooke Hayes First time going there because my normal nail tech was not in town and I really, truly enjoyed my experience. The staff was sweet and accommodating. I got exactly what I wanted. By the way highly recommend the lavender pedicure ♥️. While there i met with the other customers have been repeats for the past few years and had no complaints about the place. I do look forward to going back and bringing my girlfriends with me!! Thank you girls Im so ready for my weekend now!!

Destiny Aguayo This was my first time visiting Unique nails and it was an awesome experience. The lady that did my nails was super nice and gave me exactly what I wanted. I didn’t catch her name but I will definitely be back.

Nic I went here for my first time to have dip polish removed ($10), and a basic manicure ($23). The tech did a great job and my nails turned out great. The place was clean, and they sanitized the tools. I don’t get my nails done often but would definitely return here again.

Angela Parkhurst LOVE this place. Its super cute inside and the team working is so sweet. I found it on google and liked the ratings, plus it was close. Well, I loved it. I will definitely be back. Ive been jumping from nail salon to nail salon but this will be our new go to!!!!!

Maria Aguayo I was introduced to this salon by a friend. I loved it. They were super nice. It was a relaxing nail experience. Plus since I was getting gel nails they buffed my nails by hand not by a drill. So much better for my nails. Ill be back, even tho its a 30 minute drive.

Laura Smith Anna did a beautiful job on my pedicure. It was the best massage and spa service ever as she spent lots of time with me, then she made my toes so pretty and applied stickers to make them look like cherry blossoms. So pretty! We also had wonderful conversation the whole time.

Aaron S I cant say enough wonderful things about my experience at Hello Gorgeous Nails, and a huge part of that was thanks to Angela! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how bright, welcoming, and impeccably clean the space is. The entire atmosphere is so inviting, and it’s clear that Angela and her team go above and beyond to create an environment that’s both relaxing and luxurious. Angela is an absolute gem! She was not only incredibly skilled but also so attentive and thoughtful, making sure I was comfortable and satisfied every step of the way. Her attention to detail is second to none, and my nails have never looked more perfect. She truly cares about giving each client a personalized experience, and it shows in her work and in the way she interacts with everyone. The whole team was equally amazing—everyone I encountered was so kind, friendly, and helpful, making the entire visit such a pleasant experience. I left feeling pampered, refreshed, and like I had been treated to something truly special. If youre looking for a top-notch nail salon, I can’t recommend Hello Gorgeous Nails and Angela highly enough! It’s truly the best of the best!

Cadence Marie I always tip well and this is now the 3rd time in a month my nails (multiple) have popped off days after spending extra to get them fixed again. Finding a new nail salon after coming here for 8 years.

Kiana Gandoff Bliss indeed!!! From the moment i walked in Elisa and her team greeted me warmly. The pristine and inviting ambiance is exceptional! Not only did they provide amazing service but they made sure i felt comfortable throughout the entire process. I left the salon feeling pampered. I highly recommend Elisa shes amazing!!! and the rest of the technicians for anyone looking a top notch clean experience! Thank you Nail Bliss Team for making my Spa day extra special!

D M Great experience getting mani/pedi. The chairs are the best massage chairs! Tony did both mani and pedi and he was fantastic! I highly recommend this place and the people that work there are so friendly

Sara Lefkowitz This place is so nice and friendly! Lisa was amazing with my 6 year old daughter. She went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and getting what she wanted. When I had to return to get my polish repaired (my fault) she quickly and kindly fixed my polish. While it was drying she took the time to cut my 6 year old daughters nails all on her own! You should check them out. I will definitely be back!

Lynn Margaret Yay! Loved my experience tonight! I came it at about 5:45pm and wanted a gel manicure and gel pedicure, with my current mani/pedi needing to be soaked off. They close at 7:30pm but were super cool about me getting there as late as I did. Van was fantastic. Gentle but got in there too when she needed to. The energy there was quiet and calm which isnt always the case at nail shops and very clean. A gel manicure and gel pedicure was $80 which is significantly cheaper than the last few places I had gone. I love that they are open until 7:30pm as well, since its typically later in the day when Im getting my act together to get my nails done. I also love that they didnt try to push me to upgrade my services or push unrequested services on me like brows and such even though Im overdue. Oh, AND a total bonus that they are very relaxed about you picking your color. They get started on your nails then bring you the basket of options. Sometimes its a lot when youre barely in the door at a nail shop and they are demanding to CHOOSE YOUR COLOR. Thanks, Van! Hope to be back soon!

Emily P I have gone to this nail salon a few times and have never had an issue until last week. I went and asked for a dip manicure like I have several times before. The woman working on my nails didn’t know what that was or at least pretended not to. I said I was fine with acrylic - after several times of her just saying “acrylic” and not paying attention to what I wanted. I agreed but only if it was a thin layer- I had to keep telling her to add polish because you could see my nail. I showed pictures of the design, which was very simple. They are not even and I can see my nail underneath. My nails have never looked so horrible. I will not come back.

Brittany Brinson Not a terrible place to get your nails done but if you don’t like being overcharged then don’t go here. Paid $70 for a full set/soak off. Here was the breakdown as written by the desk clerk. $48 for full set. $7 for colored powder (regular acrylic was not offered to me. I was just asked what color powder I wanted), $5 for the particular shape I got, $5 for nail take off, and get this, additional $5 for clear gel top coat. Clear top coat?! They also said my nails were long. Here is a picture of my $70 basic nails.

Melissa DiFazio Loved Pure Natural Nail Spa and will definitely be back! It was a pleasure to meet Leah and she did an amazing job! I’ve been looking for a place that carries Dazzle Dry nail polish. It’s a unique system that is natural and lasts a long time while making the nails healthier and stronger. The Spa is clean and spacious with relaxing music. Friendly and inviting. Thank you, Leah! And thank you for the Green Tea! :)

Alexandra Neely This afternoon was my first time visiting Pure Natural, and I was blown away. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating, and provided complimentary champagne, pastries, and gift bags for guests during their grand opening weekend. I cannot recommend my technician, Laura, enough. She masterfully designed a set of winter-themed French tips for me, and perfectly recreated my reference picture. Her attention to detail was so impressive, and her kind, personable demeanor was a breath of fresh air. I’m genuinely obsessed with my nails. I could not have been more pleased with my experience. I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis.

natalie walker this salon is THE BEST in St Pete! The atmosphere is clean and calming with amazing staff. The nails were perfect and lasted for so long. Usually the first thing I look for is if they can do detailed designs. And on my first time coming in they nailed it! I felt so cared for with being asked what id like to drink and offered multiple discounts. Not even to mention their loyalty program!! cannot recommend enough!

Connie Saleh When you first walk in it smells so strongly of nail fumes that I literally could not breath for a minute. I do not frequent nail salons often but I have never smelled something like that before. I got a basic gel manicure, my first ever. The nail tech, an older woman, used a nail grinder on my cuticles to the point where one was bleeding, profusely. The polish itself is all over my skin and under my nails. The edges of my nails are sharp because the gel polish sticks out and was not filed down after... sticking out to the point where I could literally scratch something they are so sharp. A really bad first experience. My friend also got gel done at the same time, from a male worker, and hers came out amazing! Dramatic range of quality depending on the nail tech.

Hallie Latham My friend and I both got our eyebrows waxed here. Great shape…. When she did the center of my eyebrows (unibrow) she took off too much on the right eyebrow on both of us. Not even at all. (Don’t mind the redness just super sensitive skin)

Raquel Conner She did a wonderful job on my pedicure! I needed some extra care and rest during my pregnancy and my nail tech was thorough, made it so relaxing (the massage felt amazing), and she was very kind. I will definitely be back any time I visit the area!

Brenna Pulliam AMAZING!! best in st pete!!! They got new ownership within the last year so fully ignore any bad reviews. Daniel is the new owner and so nice. Gaby did my acrylic nails today and she did a PERFECT job. Gave me the exact french tip I asked for & even let me see 3 different shades before she started. I will be back soon! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! great prices too

Amanda Lindeman This was my first time at this nail salon. It was very nice inside, the man at the front desk was very attentive (I think he was the manager) and he was walking around checking in with everyone- very involved. I did have to wait for like 15-20 mins despite an appointment but that’s kinda just how things go sometimes at nail salons so not a huge deal. My tech was a woman by the name of Sary I believe. She was very nice. I’m very particular about my nail shape so I was having her make a lot of adjustments which I know can be annoying but she was more than willing which was great. She did a good job, it took a while to get to the original shape I came in with but we got pretty close. She was heavy handed with the drill but it didn’t hurt- until the very end. Right after she did the fill, she went in with the small drill around the cuticle and went way too hard. I didn’t really realize how hard she went until I was home and my cuticles stung as I washed my hands. You can see in the pics a few cuticles look red. So that sucked and they still really sting. Tho I was shocked by how reasonable the prices were!! I paid $45 for a fill with cat eye gel polish. At my regular salon (I’m from out of town) that would be probably $75.

Dary Lv I have no way to explain how good they made me feel and how nice they are, it was my first time there and it was a very satisfying experience, I went in feeling nervous and left feeling very comfortable and with AMAZING definitive nails, the guy at the entrance was very friendly, and always supervising that the girls work was very good, the girl who helped me was very kind and very nice, I will definitely be there again, Ive seen bad reviews from the previous owners, but I want to tell you that they are completely different and do very detailed and good work, and speak Spanish, so they are incredible, thank you for such a nice experience.

CHAN CHAN Mike is the best. I love his work. I drive an hour just to get my nails done. I have not had 1 nail break in the entire time Ive been coming. Quality work.. reasonably priced..

Borica Chhem Great experience here. She took time to understand client’s nail shape and wants. So far the best SNS manicure I’ve had in the longest while. Also didn’t feel like she rushed through the appointment. When one finger was a little off, they even fixed it with a smile. Ps don’t be afraid to let your nail tech know if you don’t like something. Everyone at this store will happily fix it for you. The management is great and atmosphere is nice despite the strong acetone smells. But totally worth sitting through the smells for a beautiful manicure that will last. I will come back from Jacksonville just to get my nails done.

Auna Shkira Safe to say I won’t be back. I paid $70 for an overlay (I asked for dip they only had poly gel) on my natural nails and a soak off. I have no polish on my nails or designs just overlay. Less than a day later I noticed my nail chipped and called the shop to ask if it could be fixed and I was instructed to walk in at anytime and I could get it fixed that day. I came immediately after work and was told to come closer to closing because they were really busy (had I been paying for something I would have been taken then and not told to come back). I always try to resolve problems with the business before making reviews but I won’t be back! This set was too expensive for it to be chipping a day later and I didn’t even get polish or design add ons so $70 is insane. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Kaliyah Lamar My cuticles were flooded and is making my skin extremely itchy. Other then that I love my nails. Now my hair it’s supposed to be a silk press but it was actually a stream press. My hair is extremely curly and steam didn’t cut it. I had to re straighten it and that didn’t even help.(mind you that was within a hour). I would stick with a Dominican blowout at another place. My roots aren’t even straight. The staff is nice

Carol Sheppard I went there 1st time today. At first I was the only one & it was good. Then other people came in. I felt rushed. I got a pedicure & full set. The nail polish for my toes looks clumpy. As for my nails-instead of clipping my cuticles- SHE FILED MY SKIN around my nails. Also she didnt clear out the acrylic under my nails sticking to my skin. And she made the nails too short. She was in such a rush to get me out of the there that she pushed my sandals on. My toes werent dry and one toenail nail polish completely rubbed off .Last time. Is there a good place around here? Ive been to almost all of them

Travelbug Trips Danea My daughter and I came here for my “birthday treat” gel pedicures. We experienced such a magical time! From the salt scrub, hot oil soak, grapefruit ice massage, hot stone massage, hot towels…. Then pedicure, THEN…we were treated to hot paraffin for our feet and lotion before sandals- it was the best pedicure I have ever had in my life, and I’ve had more than I can count. The ladies were sweet and funny, don’t miss out! Bring your daughters!! Added 8/9. The acrylic magic that Cecilia and her team can do is amazing!!

Shalene Cochran This place is the best. My pedicure was amazing. They always have nice little things they do that make it special like warming up the salt scrub and lotions and putting on little sock things to keep the paraffin warmer longer. They spend a lot of time shaping your toenails and removing extra skin around the toenail if needed, which I really appreciate. And the massage is really strong and nice. All together 5 stars for sure. Also the studio is clean and modern and relaxing. Ive gotten my fingernails done there too and also phenomenal.

Eleni Powell I had a great time at Leann’s nails I wanted acrylics with a pretty flower design and needless to say she killed it! I can’t remember the name of the wonderful woman who did them but thank you again! Also the price is affordable especially for the design I had picked as well. This place is amazing and if you don’t know where to get your nails done this the place to go! 10/10

Kim Nguyen Love! Had a great pedi by Rose with a wonderful massage. The massage chairs are nice and strong too. Spotless, bright and modern place. The staff is friendly. There’s a huge selection of colors. I can’t believe I haven’t been here before.

Chloe M Absolutely amazing they were so kind! My nails came out beautifully it was an amazing experience.anytime I’m back in the area I know where I’m coming back too. Thank you so much

Sakura Mushrooms This place was amazing! I liked the service and all of the workers were very kind, I would go here again and many times ahead. My nails look so cute thank you!

Emilia Andreja Tina was incredibly meticulous when shaping and filing my nails. She got them exactly how I like them short and neat and classic. Perfectly shaped! I highly recommend this nail salon. I also got a pedicure here a few months back and it was amazing as well with a wonderful massage and the music and videos that they play are very relaxing, very clean and relaxing atmosphere.

Katherine Levy My natural nails were completely transformed into the best work I’ve seen in a long time by Kelly here at Fonda Nails. I had some ideas, but she took those, saw my vision, and made them even better. I came here with my girlfriend who is transgender, and they were all outstandingly welcoming and friendly. Not to mention the complimentary drink, and beautiful and clean atmosphere. I live 15 miles away in Clearwater, but I will be making the trip to Fonda Nails in St. Pete every time I need my nails done again!

Nicole Johnson My nails aren’t filed evenly, and the gel polish is noticeably bumpy. Plus my big toes are on fire! The girl was nice, but I did not find the overall experience relaxing. For almost $100, I wanted more professional results or a more relaxing spa-like experience.

Sierra Paige Kelly is amazing and always does the best job! I’m pretty particular about my nails but she always crushes it. Would not recommend any other place in town, Fonda is definitely the best!

Livia Negrón If you want to relax definitely stop by! Great service! And definitely worth the price.. I got my pedicure done by Jenny and she was really sweet and attentive. Definitely coming back

Olivia Hoover Trish and staff were AMAZING! $42 for a gel mani (plus tip of course) is so reasonable. She was so kind to me and not judgmental that I didn’t want her to file or shape my nails as some salon artists have been ahahah. The experience was so sweet and the place didn’t smell too strong, wasn’t crowded at night etc. I’ll be back for sure.

Adrianne Stebbins This is such an upscale nail salon in the heart of St. Pete. It is the only place I go and all the technicians are very friendly and highly trained. The ambiance in the salon is always elegant and relaxing. They also just got in brand new massaging chairs, highly recommend.

Kathy I’ve had my nails done for the last 50 years and never had such a great and complete experience as I had with Golden Nails. Husband and wife experience, went in to support local businesses in the Treasure Island area, and left there amazed by the thoroughness of the most amazing manicure ever. Love this place!

Alexandra L. Most thorough treatment Ive gotten at any nail salon or even spa in a very long time. So so impressed, especially at the incredible value/price point for the service rendered. *Very* hygienic and clean - pedicure tools came in a brand new sealed bag that looked hospital grade. Rose was so kind, friendly, compassionate about my pain/comfort level. She really took her time with the very tough shellac that was apply to me for my wedding, removing it properly and carefully. Did fantastic with the scrub massage and then cooling minty gel right after. Even did a very nice massage of my legs with *hot stones* - ALL included in the basic pedicure. WOW! This nail salon is certainly a local treasure in Treasure Island. WILL be back!

Doug Brown Huy did a great job fixing my ugly toenail that I have had since childhood. Quick, easy, professional, and reasonable prices.
