This place was wonderful! I just walked in for a pedi and they look me right away! Kelly was wonderful. You actually get a massage with the pedicure. I found my new nail place! read more

They're not terrible and they're not superb! I liked them but I'm still looking for better.

I had a pedicure and a gel (shellac) manicure. The service was fast, but not at all rushed and very detailed. I had just finished unpacking after a move and my nails were a painful, torn up mess. Mary did excellent, gentle work getting me back in presentable, professional shape. read more

Just moved back to Sarasota and had to find a new place for my pedicures. Found Best Nails and really enjoy them, and they do a great job.

They are always great. I went in this time with a picture of what I wanted and they made it happen exactly as the picture! Highly recommended. read more

Nancy polished my daughter's nails and added a free hand design. Love!

Sooooo disappointed. I've been going to them for 11 years. The past year everything has gone downhill. You know longer feel pampered. You feel extremely rushed. When you come with a friend they seemed put out that you want to be beside them during the whole process. Yesterday was the final straw. I went in for just a plain manicure. Simple, correct? Well no. I went through three different nail polishes, and they were all old. The technician would never have it knowledged it if I had not insisted she change the first color. I knew she knew there was an issue because I saw her pour a liquid into the polish. I'm guessing it was finger nail polish remover to help thin the old nail polish. I made her remove it and remove the second color as well because both of the polishes looked awful. The third one she put on look equally awful but at that point I just said to myself I just want out of there. It was not smooth whatsoever. It looked very cake done because the polish was old. My "massage" literally lasted 2 mins (yes I counted) for both hands and she was ROUGH! Actually borderline hurt the way she was rubbing my arms. As I was sitting there I was looking around. The place is absolutely disgusting. There are layers of dust between each of the manicure tables. The pedicures bowls have what look like figure nail polish splattered all over them. The drawers beside the pedicure bowls are covered with God only knows what. There's figure nail polish all over the place so you can't truly get an idea of their inventory. (Is it difficult to replace it inventory when you're finished so clients can see what you have to offer?) It's extremely disappointing. Like I said I've been going there for years and years. When they were in their old location by Target. I will never go back. If anybody is reading this that works there please clean up your act as well as clean up your salon. Seriously, you need to close for a day or two and do a thorough cleaning. Wipe everything down! It isIt's nasty and again I'm so extremely disappointed. The picture I have attached of my nails does not do it justice. My four-year-old niece could have done a better job. read more

Best Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

See all

Love this place. They give the best foot massages during pedicures, which is excellent for this pregnant lady.

I have been to Beat Nails a few times now. I am greeted each time I walk in. I had Tammy the first time and each time after. She is so sweet and does a excellent job. She has fixed a broken nail to look perfect. I have tried a couple of other places but this is the best. read more

I have went there for the last couple of years and just recently contacted a toenail fungus from them I thought they were clean but I guess not. I guess you can contract it thru the polish as well if they use it on someone with fungus that is what the podiatrist told me. It's so gross I hope I don't lose my nail. I will never go back there again. read more

I have been going to Best Nails for quite a few years. Tyler is AWESOME ! I won't go to anyone else. They also do great eyebrows and pedicures. Everyone there is so nice and they do great work. read more

Unfortunately, I will never return to this salon. Being new to this side of town, I thought I had found a terrific salon. My nail tech was absolutely excellent and polite. I made an appt for 10:15 a.m. on a Saturday, like usual, since I have a 9:00 a.m. class. I arrived at 9:50 and was greeted by name by the owner. He gave me a withering look and stated my appointment was at 9:15. I politely said, "No, I made it for 10:15 like normal." He then began to stare at me and mutter under his breath, making me very uncomfortable. The other techs in the vicinity looked up at me as well as he continued to talk in his native language. Had I not broken 3 nails (my fault), I would have left immediately. I did get to see my nail tech and have a full set put on (what I made the appointment for) It's sincerely a shame that I won't go back; my tech is great. There are just too many salons (3 within 5 miles of this one!) to be treated shabbily. read more

Use to be great however was extremely disappointed recently. I have been a client for many years. My normal nail tech had been on a long vacation. During this time I had one appointment with Helen. The next time I arrived for my appointment with Helen I was 10 minutes early and I could see she had just started another client. Both owners were there and no one acknowledged me. Helen kept staring at me and walking were being seated. After 10 minutes I left. Unbelievable!!! read more

The service is nice and quick ! I hate sitting for over an hour for a set of acrylics I start to fall asleep ! Any employee here does a great job & the prices are pretty decent. You sometimes have to wait if they're busy but it's worth it. They also do a great job waxing my eyebrows. I'm very picky when it comes to people touching my eyebrows, but they always make them look great. Haven't had an issue here yet. read more

Very inconsistent, although they do a good job most times I wish I could say they blew me away every single time.

I've been looking for a good nail tech for pink & white acrylics and have been to several well received salons in the area with a mediocre outcome. I happened to walk in to Best Nails on Fruitville Rd as I was out that way shopping at Target. Helen, one of the salon techs greeted me at the door and was vey helpful with answering all questions. She was vey confident and available to proceed with my pink&white fill. Absolutely love my nails and I am particular!! Fast, clean and efficient all at a reasonable price. I've had many compliments with how nice my nails look. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking for a top notch pink &white nail tech. read more

I've been going to Best nails for years and I love it. They are all so nice and attentive when I come in. Plus they aren't rough with nails and they do a great job! :) read more

Good service. Overcharged me $5. Then my gel nails started chipping within a week. Little rhinestones fell off within a few days. Paid $70 for a mani/pedi that only looked good for a few days. read more

Never again will I patronize best nails on Fruitville. Miscounted when I was paying, grossly overpaid them and they refused to refund!

For my Birthday, myself along with 6 family members decided to treat ourselves to manis and pedis at this Salon. I had never gone there before but someone had mentioned it was a large salon so I went ahead and made an appointment there. I was the only one who got a full set of nails along with Pedicure with the rest of the girls getting Mani/Pedis. I can't begin to explain my disappointment at this Salon. Not just for my nails which looked like a 10 year old did them for me but even the Pedis were such poor quality. All of them being rushed through, not taking the time to remove caluses correctly and even the nail polish jobs were shoddy. We had made an appointment in advance and you would think after telling them is was for my Birthday and that it was my family they would've made an effort to make it a pleasant experience. Well trust me it was far from that. Every single one of us by the end of the day on Sunday had nails chipping, poish on toenails with more polish on their toes than on their nails. Needless to say I will never take anyone back to them again, I was embarassed that my family spent their money for such a poor job. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want a professional mani/pedi that makes you feel pampered and looks beauiful when its done. 7 disappointed people in one sitting. Need I say more, I think not! read more
