Kelly is the best! She is also super quick and my nails always look phenomenal. So grateful that I found her and lotus nails. Highly recommend. read more

This was the worst "manicure" I've ever had, they didn't dry the coats of gel properly because my black nails all started peeling within 2 hours of the service, they rushed my daughter's blue nails so much that there was paint all over her fingers, the lady was annoyed when I asked her to remove the excess polish. The gentleman who did my nails put lotion on one hand, massaged it for maybe 30 seconds and the didn't even massage the second one at all and just said he was done. They said they would fix the nails if we went back but it's not even worth it, I will just be going back to a different salon. The demeanor of the staff was just bothered and annoyed in general, they were not friendly at all. Terrible customer service. read more

I have been to 2 other salons in Sarasota (Capitol Nails & Show Nails) that were overpriced and TERRIBLE! I was giving up hope and then I called Lotus Nails! They were able to get me in right away! My technician's name was Lisa and she was not only so sweet, but she didn't overcharge me, was quick, professional and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted! They're easy to do just about anything with (which is a struggle with some artificial nails). and look sooooo cute! For a full set of pink & whites, the designs and an eyebrow wax she only charged me $65! If giving 5 stars was an option, I WOULD! + She "nailed" it and "sleighed" this Christmas set! read more

Lotus Nails Spa - Full set of pink & whites with gel Santa hat designs! - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I went there for a full facial wax. brows, lips, chin and cheeks. I have had this done many, many times before with no problems. BE WARNED: when she was done, there was a small red spot on my cheek. she attributed that to my "thin skin". by the end of the day, both of my cheeks were bright red, as if I had been burned. The next morning, rather than fading as I had hoped, they were even redder. I am guessing that the wax was too hot and burned me! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

This is a follow up to the review I wrote an hour ago, I went to the lotus salon to see what their response is. I spoke to Terry, who very defiantly said it was MY fault. She said she had warned me that my skin is thin and that I still wanted it done. I didn't know that she took that as permission to leave burn marks on my cheeks. She took no accountability. When I asked if the owner or manager was there, she said no. That tells you something. I asked for my $54 back and she refused. I guess the workers get to make their own decisions. What she should have done was apologized-she never denied that she burned me. And then, since the customer is "always right", she should have graciously offered me the refund. To attack ME is not a way to drum up business. Anyone knows that. Perhaps if management had been there, it would have been handled differently-correctly. RUN, DO MOT WALK, from this salon! read more

Not great, not terrible. Techs are not very friendly. I got manicure, which didn't last even 4 days. What really turned me off though is the employees sitting in the waiting area chairs with their bare feet up in the chairs while also listening to videos on their phone quite loudly. Gross. read more

Lovely little salon! I was a walk in and was seated immediately. Peter was very thorough and ensured that I was good with everything every step of the way. Price was reasonable and the design turned out really cute! I will be going back! read more

If I could rate this negative stars I would. I have being doing my eyebrows for years and nothing like this has every happened. I have waxed at this specific location a couple times before. Words can not describe how upset I am. When the lady who was doing my eyebrows first put the wax on my face I told her that it was to hot and it hurt but she told me "If it's not hot it won't work". So I trusted her and that was honestly a mistake. She continued to wax and make jokes about how I was weak because it hurt me and it wasn't until I got in my car and looked in the mirror and saw what she did. Please no one go to place because they clearly don't know how to do their jobs. My face now has several burns and I don't even know how I'm going to walk around in public. read more

Absolutely great service and super nice people. I just popped in around 5pm and they took care of me immediately ... No wait. Peter is really nice, gentle, and did a great job from start to finish. I'm definitely coming back! I got a manicure too...awesome. read more

Lotus Nails Spa - Peter was very sweet and caring guy. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Owner Kelly very unfriendly and does not listen to suggestion when doing nails. Kelly also yells at staff across salon when customers arrive. Bathroom is old, smelly and broken down. They do NOT serve wine now as advertised. Zen, who does Pedicure is fabulous and very professional. She is worth the visit! read more

My experience with this salon was not good from the first interaction and phone call to even make the appointment. No one was very friendly and when I sat down in the massage chair for a pedicure, the massage therapist did not even say hello. He also did not offer a complimentary drink, which the website and front advertised that they do. The arm of the chair was very dirty and he noticed and just kind of brushed it away with his hand, instead of getting a towel to wipe it properly. The towel that was used on the chair was dirty as well. The young guy that was doing the pedicure was in a rush and distracted the entire time. His phone was ringing multiple times during and he kept looking at it and touched his phone multiple times. It was not relaxing. He was rough and actually cut my cuticle in two different places. It was bleeding and he did not seem to even care. At the end of the pedicure, he said I can just sit for 5 minutes until they dry, did not even offer to have me sit under the dryer. I've been to this salon before and had a great experience but not sure if it is because they are under new management. Will probably not return. read more

Worst manicure I've ever had. Terrible customer service. Take your money elsewhere. Manicurist was in such a hurry even though the place was not busy. Didn't come anyway close to the edges of nails. Uneven near cuticles. All-around waste of time (although he spent all of 20 minutes) & money read more

Took forever. Not busy when arrived and made appointment before hand. Called and asked prices before making appointment and when we went to pay they increased every price by $10. Price over phone was same price that was found online but nothing showing price in salon so that they can ask for more. Poor costumer service and not satisfied. read more

I purchased a gift certificate for $60 for my partner for a pedicure/manicure of her choice. When she went to use the gift certificate 6 months after later , the establishment said the certificate expired 3 months after issuance. Florida law prohibits gift certificates from expiring within 5 years. They were rude and nasty to my partner. We will be reporting them to the FTC. They will not be getting any more of our business read more

Were very professional and nice. Great prices too! Loved how my nails turned out! Would recommend anyone here! read more

Not impressed. Couldn't have gotten me out fast enough. Only interested in up charging the client. Needs a good cleaning. Not very friendly. Overall do not recommend. It's a-shame. So close to my home . read more

Went in with a group. Poor customer service from 3/4 of the nail techs. It doesn't feel good to pay money for poor service ( poor attitude, no interaction at all, not getting what you asked for...) The shop was not the cleanest, and the staff in there were not friendly even at the front desk. It might be better to take your business elsewhere. read more

Please dont go here. It was the worst experience I have ever had. I was given a terrible infection in my nails.They cut skin on mytoes.. read more

I was visiting from out of town and got the express mani pedi ($35) on New Year's Eve. It has been a week and while my nails haven't chipped, I wanted to post a photo of what it looks like now. The service was mediocre for the price. I also felt the look and feel of the salon was very outdated and tacky. read more

I am visiting Sarasota for a few hours and needed to kill some time so I decided to stop by for a pedicure. I went on a Wednesday around 2pm and the place was completely empty so I was super happy I didn't have to wait. The salon is very clean and simple. I got the Express pedicure for $25. I kind of felt like the entire process was rushed as if there were people waiting after me, but I guess it's because I got the Express pedicure. The technician who did my pedicure was very neat and she painted my toes perfectly and she shaped them very nice as well. If I am in the area again, I would return. read more

Walked in for a pedicure, I did not have an appointment. Two girls walked in after me , also without an appointment,and because they were getting gel manicures and pedicures, were shown to the pedicure chair right away. I was told to sit and wait. When I mentioned to girl at desk what had happened ,she blew me off. I left and am glad I did. Place is dirty looking and employees don't look very happy. Could this place possibly be one of these human trafficking businesses? Don't go there! read more

Visiting from out of town and needed a manicure and pedicure . I called ahead (about 30 minutes) and they fit me right in! Clean salon, they offered me a beverage and did a lovely job. Lotus is located right by Publix. . . Very convenient! Will come here again next time I'm in town read more

Visiting for business and needed a pedi and mani. Decided to give Lotus a shot and I'm so glad I did! Randy took care of me and seriously went above and beyond. I got the deluxe pedi and he took longer in the massage than any other place I've gone to. HEAVEN! I had an injury and he focused around my calves which I needed. I would absolutely come back when I come back to visit! read more

Could not have asked for a better place to get my nails done. Very clean and professional service. $35 for basic mani/pedicure. Would definitely come again. My daughter and I just needed to find a place coming in for a vacation and were very impressed! read more

My favorite is Anna. Lotus is next to publics on 41. Convenient and though busy, the manager always makes room for walk-ins. Gel or shellac polish is often to thick, or uneven in other salons. Mani / pedi s are consistently professional. And Anna is a perfectionist! read more

I'm a long time Sarasota resident, and I've been going to high-end salons for years to have my (horrifically thin!) nails done with acrylic at very high prices. I hesitate to go to new salons, because my nails are so bad that I can't ever risk sub-standard materials. In a pinch for time, I took a chance on Lotus Nails, next to the Publix on 41 and 10th. I'll be going here from now on! The shop is extremely clean and well run. The technician handled my nails -- which included two broken far below the quick and one split in several places -- very gently and competently. In only 35 minutes, I had perfect repairs, fill on all nails, and a shellac varnish that looks beautiful. The technician had some good advice about nail length and shape to keep disaster at bay from now on. And it was half of what I'm used to paying. Definitely a good option! read more

Sadly there is no option for 0 stars. I've never had such a more horrible experience. My husband and I came in for the first time after reading these rave reviews... My husband got the "express mani/pedi" OBVIOUSLY NO POLISH OF ANY SORT... He was literally done in 25 minutes for both, which is fine bc it's a male mani/pedi, which is nothing compared to a female but they CHARGED HIM $35! No time wasted having to polish and clean and they still charged him exactly what they charged me! Then my mani/pedi... During the pedi, I noticed he hadn't cut my cuticles... I have a lot of cuticles, unfortunately, which then turn hard and painful. The nail tech told me he did cut and I was forced to take his word for it bc I wasn't exactly watching him, so I assumed maybe I missed it. I made sure to have an eagle eye during my mani. I literally saw the tech look at the cuticle cutter, then my nails and cut no cuticles. I had hang nails left and right and he was planning to do nothing about them. At that point, I stopped him and told him he had to cut my cuticles. He started speaking his language and I simply apologized (don't know why bc I hadn't done anything wrong) but explained that they hurt and I needed them cut! During this time, two sweet elderly women, who seemed like regulars and were nothing but sweet to everyone, especially the techs, were mocked by the employees. One of the ladies kept saying my hands don't match my feet... They were blowing her off and ignoring her like she was crazy! When someone finally paid attention to her, they realized she was absolutely correct. Turns out, I had the same issue! When I look at my hands as he was polishing them, I noticed my hands were completely different from my feet. He starts to tell me I'm wrong and I asked him how he couldn't see the difference. The techs began to gather around and speak in their language. I had 4 ppl huddled around me screaming Cantonese or whatever language they were speaking. I asked them to please speak English bc I feel as if they are speaking about me... They eventually fixed the polish but not without continuing to blabber in their language! Pls take head! I respect others' reviews, but they brought me in there and it was the worst decision! read more

Love this place. I always see Lee, because she is consistently fast and does a great job. Highly recommend!

Go elsewhere for pedicures. They don't deliver what the advertise. Paid more for lots of extras including 15 extra minutes of leg massage. Entire experience lasted 27 minutes- 2 minutes of hot stone on each leg was a joke. Add a pedicurist sniffling and rubbing his nose and racing through the entire pedicure and it adds up to a really poor experience. They have good reviews for nails - just wish I had read the ones regarding pedicures. read more

We travel quite a bit and I am always on the look out for a convenient salon for a pedicure. I found one today! I had some shopping to do at Publix on Tamiami Trail and stumbled upon Lotus. Very clean , very polite staff, a family run business. I had the " deluxe" pedicure which was wonderful. Very soothing, sugar scrub and a mask for hydration and a foot/ leg massage for $35.00. Standard pedicures are the usual $25.00. I am home now , my feet feel great and I think I will book an appointment for my husband who is a golfer and always appreciates a foot massage. My technician was Randy. Very gentle but also very thorough . Very soft spoken and polite.as were the rest of the staff there. read more

Loved this salon, and the way they did my nails. Excellent staff, I told them I was rushing to the Opera, so they worked together to help me finish up fast. My nails came out looking so good and the day spa feeling was a very pleasant surprise. So glad to have this nail salon very close to downtown Sarasota. read more

Great place! In town on vacation, came here based on yelp and distance. Staff was very attentive. Sometimes when you're an out of towner, service can be dismal since you won't be back. Not the case here. A clean gel manicure, great chairs for pedis (gentle hands). Place is modern with beverages to offer! If I lived here, this would be my salon! read more

The express pedicure was great, reasonably priced and the atmosphere quiet and restful. I will be returning !

This place is very nice. They offer prompt attentive service and do a nice job. I love the setup of the salon itself...so cute! The temperature was a tad warm and the ventilation could be improved as the smell was very strong. However the ambiance was pleasant and my toes look cute. read more

Yeah I won't be back. I used to like this place but this time is was dirty, used a dirty towel on my feet and the guy peter that did my nails was looking at his phone the whole time and did 4 coats on one nail and 2 on the rest so one of them is way darker. He also did a bad job on my manicure, rushed through it. Finished within 10 min. Didn't take his time and was more concerned about his phone. Not coming back. read more

This is the best in Sarasota. Friendly staff and so clean. Every service is excellent. Relax and enjoy the time with the wonderful service

This was a horrible, horrible gel manicure! It was an awkward experience to begin with and then when the woman finished my nails they were horrible! My gel manicure looked like I painted them myself.... They weren't shiny and not smooth at all and there was paint all over my cuticles. And it was $30!! They were so bad I left and went straight to a different nail salon on University parkway to have them redone..... Now they are perfect and it was cheaper too!! Don't waist your time here. read more
