Luv Nails - St. Petersburg (FL)

1 /5 Carolina Lopez: So my sister took me here to get our toes done for my birthday. And when she was clipping the dead skin around my right foots big toe, she was yanking it to the point where she was ripping my skin literally open. And I kinda made a gesture to her because it was hurting soooo bad, and she kept doing it until I bled. And throughout the pedicure, it kept bleeding and she tried to cover the wound with gel which later that day lifted and I opened it to see how why it was lifting and I saw my toe opened. Literally to my flesh…… and it was gooey like, infected. I don’t recommend this place. It’s cheap, but cheap for a reason. If I could give this 0 stars, I definitely would.. And I wish they would try to come up on this review and try me with that “you must’ve had a bad day”… or “don’t try to hurt our small local business”….. and yes I have time in my hands to type this review up….. she really tried to cover it with GEL NAIL POLISH!!!

5 /5 phyllis Shuffler: I have been going to Luv Nails for over five years and my experience has been very pleasant. I have Ingrown toenails on both big toes and they are experienced in removing them. My visits have always been top-notch.

5 /5 Rachel Dempsey: I love it here because it is laid back and the owners are good, kind people with positive energy. When I go, I feel like I am visiting with friends. Plus, I usually end up having great conversations with the other patrons. My manicures always last longer than other places Ive tried in the area.

1 /5 Michalla: After 6 years of regular, bi-weekly mani/pedis I went the last year not stepping in a nail salon in order to save money due to some lifestyle changes. I had a slew of interviews today and will be seeing my mom for the first time in six years and some friends and family I havent seen in ten years! So I decided to treat myself after a stressful year so that I could feel my best and feel confident again! I decided on this salon cause the pictures looked decent as well as the reviews and the price was good! Unfortunately my nails were anything but decent....the nails themselves are uneven and the polish left streaks and bubbles? She checked my nails and told me they were good and dry and that I could leave but upon leaving I realized they were not at all dry. Oh well, have to come back after my interview to have them fixed. Upon returning I could tell she was not happy to fix them and essentially told me it was my fault they looked bad because I told her not to do an additional coat (it was getting thicker and more uneven with each coat.) I hate confrontation and making someone elses job more difficult but I could not let these nails go like that, now i almost wish I did because the "fixed" nails arent too much better, she took the polish off the 2 worst nails and literally painted over the old polish with a color I thought looked newer and less clumpy but it ended up streaking and bubbling like the other one except now its over 2 coats of pre-existing polish and the coats werent done evenly. Im so upset, I took pictures in the car after and cried because the one time I tried to do something nice for myself it ended up like this. I should have saved my $40 (gave her a $5 tip regardless and was not for one second unpleasant or rude because I felt bad for making her re-do what should have been done right) and had that money to use for something more worthwhile. Unbelievably disappointed and cant believe she was comfortable with me leaving her salon with a set of nails that look like this, I feel worse with the nails than I did without. Kicking myself for not going to a bigger establishment but I wanted to put my money into a small local business that could use it after everything thats happened. Learned my lesson with Luv Nails, who knows though maybe your experience will be better?

5 /5 Dawn Francett: Luv nails is the ONLY place to trust to do my nails. Ive been getting my nails done consistently once a month for years and have always been very picky with who I go to. The place I used to go to before I moved over here had me waiting 1-3 hours and was a whole day ordeal, making me dread getting my nails done. But once I found Luv Nails, Im hooked! Im in and out within an hour with gel mani and pedi! Theyre by far the most affordable and my nails do not chip or peel like they used to. Also, the owners of this quaint lil shop are husband and wife are two of the loveliest people Ive ever met. Now, I look forward to getting my nails done and catching up with them every month! Do yourself a favor and come to Luv Nails. Trust me, youll be hooked!
