I have been here a couple of times, but today will be my last time there. I believe I had Nina, wanted a spa pedicure. The foot bath was barely filled with water, nothing added in the water. She used a sponge for bottom of feet and said I didn't need anything more. I have terrible feet, callouses, etc. (the only reason I get a pedicure is for dead skin to be removed), she reluctantly used the scrapper. It was all so rushed, I was in and out before another customer who was already in process of pedicure. The price on wall said $53, I was charged $60. I just can't justify paying $60 for a 20 minute pedicure. read more

I started coming to Lovely Nails when I needed to find a new nail technician. Best choice I ever made. my first visit was for a full set of pink and white Today I went in for a fill on my pink and white. Thomas did an amazing job once again. it looks like a brand new set. The whole family was at the salon today and they were all so amazing. Their attention to detail is excellent and such a pleasant clean and friendly atmosphere. I recommend them 110% for any needs. read more

10/10 I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quality work and amazing service. Very friendly environment as well .

My daughter and I had a very enjoyable mani/pedi. Great service and high quality experience.

Nice mail salon very close to my Publix. The technician did a splendid Job with my compromised nails. I'll be back soon!

I used to frequency this spot. Came for a quick lip and chin wax before a trip out of town. The total cost was $18. I felt that was a bit much considering the lip was $6. Again, in Tallahassee I'm used to paying $11 for both. Tom was thorough and relatively personable. He's usually a very upbeat and positive person but today seemed a bit different. I am pleased with the job he did. They usually do good nail work as well and this place recently got a face lift providing a more inviting and modern atmosphere. read more

They are very friendly, and she gave me a ridiculous amount of color options since they didn't have the particular brand I like... Sadly the product that I chose was the "temperature changing", I pay extra for that and after putting my hands in the freezer I see no difference. The clear coat has holes in it. I'm very disappointed, because service was great until you get outside and see the awful nails. I give it 3 stars because she knew what I wanted, and service was fairly quick even though I am not happy with the results. They aren't the worst nails I have ever had. I personally will not give them another try. read more

Such a family-oriented business, known them for a long time and the care they provide are second to none. They are informative on their products and suggest the best. I always get quick, efficient service when I go here and it's always calm and relaxing when I go. read more

I just moved into area and walked in and taken right away. Tina was my tech and did a great job.

This is my second time here and my last. Nina (apparently one of the owners) was the technician that serviced me. She was rude from beginning to end. Not once did she ask me or offer me a menu of services. She didn't engage with me at all. She stepped away mid-pedicure, without saying a word and another girl came over (her daughter) to finish the paint on my nails. I brought my mother as well and she had a much better experience, her technician was Nina's husband, who the owner. He asked her what services she wanted, engaged in conversation with her. Lots and lots of competition for nail services. Recommend, if they want to stay in business, to change to a more positive experience, provided, by all of their employees. Being the owner, you would think Nina would provide the best service possible. read more

I should have known when I walked into an empty salon that it wasn't going to be a good experience. I paid a total of $90 for a simple pedicure with clear polish and a thin powder lay over on my natural nails. My technician was super nice but, the work was sloppy and rushed. My nails are super sore and I have two scabs on my pinky from her using the file to remove my cuticles. My right hand looks completely different from my left hand. Right hand is super thick and blocky and left hand is exactly how I wanted it. You can see the scabs in the pictures. When it came to the pedicure, the massaging was so rough and abrasive that my toes were throbbing for an hour afterwards. I wanted my toenails squared off and she made them crooked and it looks awful. I asked to have the dead skin around my nails removed and she put oil on them and basically just touched it up. Meanwhile, I still have a bunch of dead skin around my fingernails. do not go to the salon if you want a professional experience I suggest nails by Lena on 34th St., South in Saint Petersburg. This place does not have technicians that are ready to take on current trends and the basics of being a nail technician. read more

scrubbed my feet till they was silky smooth 10/10, would definitely recommend coming in for a pedicure, one of the only places that still use a razor read more

Worst pedicure I ever had! And for 30 dollars! Not even one tool was used, no cuticle trimming, no filing of the nails, and I could've done a better job on the polish myself! Just moved into town and was looking for a regular place to go every 2 weeks. It looks nice on the inside and the people are nice but the price is ridiculous and the quality is very low. read more

Love this place! It's the perfect spot to go for a little self care they were pretty busy, but the seating was comfortable and the place was very clean. Super friendly people who work there too! They put a lot of detail into their work and take really good care of everyone that comes in. We will totally be back again and again! read more

This has to be the worst nail place ever ! I'm from Michigan and I just needed a fill. She changed the shape of my nails and just slopped the acrylic on. I'm not even sure she was paying attention. I know I should of had her fix them but I just needed out. $40. is a grossly overpriced fill. There are a ton of nail salons, pass on this one. read more

Absolutely the WORST gel manicure I've ever had and I get them on a regular basis. Just moved to the area and thought I'd give them a shot since I was shopping in the area. I had gel all over my cuticles. She said its because I have short nails.....really? I'm a makeup artist so I've always had short nails and never had such a sloppy job done. If I didn't have to pick how many stars, they would have gotten zero. Just awful read more

Lovely Nails is not lovely. They lie. I called to see if timing was good to come in for a manicure. The man said come in 20 minutes. I did. Then there were 2 people working and just starting on jobs. He said it would be 30 minutes more. Where is the respect? My time is important to me. Don't lie to people. read more

Who says guys can't get pampered with a pedicure/manicure? I certainly did today and my 10 digits are humming with joy. The last time I had a manicure was 30 some odd years ago in Olongapo in the Philippines. It was an awesome experience, complete with a hair cut, shave and shoulder/neck massage. Lovely Nails focuses on your nails but the moment one steps through the doors they get treated royally. Take the massage chair which Nina programed for me. A complete lumbar experience! I even heard a bone in my back pop back into place. This is while my feet soaked a hot water spa for 10-15 minutes. She deftly cut my nails, filed them, got the cuticles pared and oiled my feet and legs, giving me a small massage. She's good. If we hadn't been talking about food, life and travel I would have fallen asleep. Then came the fingers and that turned out perfectly as well. A wonderful job all around and Lovely Nails does a whole lot more though I doubt I will ever need a Brazilian Wax job. read more

Never going there again ! After the mother finished shaping my nails she let her 12 year old daughter finish my French tip , although the girl tried my nails didn't look professional and weren't even cleaned up thanks but no thanks read more

The family that owns this place is so sweet and helpful! Nina helped put a nail on my finger where the real nail had fallen off. She's awesome! They have the ANC product and i really loved it! read more

My latest visit was the third in 4 weeks... The first experience was absolutely fine. I liked my nails and the owner Thomas was pleasant. I wasn't as fortunate on my second visit, as his wife Nina did my nails and insisted on arguing with me when I stated that I wanted a "thicker" look. I stayed calm and never raised my voice but I stood firm on what I wanted MY nails to look like, as I am the one paying for and wearing them. Ultimately we did not reach a solution and Thomas had to take over to give me the desired look (the look he gave me on my first visit). Although this situation clearly left a bad taste in my mouth, I went back a third time, telling myself that I would only allow Thomas to do my nails and avoid the drama. My biggest mistake was returning. Nina did not greet me when I walked in... In fact she did not acknowledge me once, during the two hours I spent there. Thomas started off as usual, no problems until it came down to my design. I originally wanted bold lines, however he stated he couldn't do them, so WE decided on bold dots. (THREE/FOUR dots going up my nail in a vertical line... he tried... the line was not straight and the dots were too large for four, so I asked for three instead. He refused to do the design over, he said either I keep the design or he'll just take it off but that he would not do another dot on my nail. I was so shocked, I had to ask if he was being serious. Sadly, he was. I offered to pay more, but he still refused. After lots of back and forth, I made it clear that I would not be returning. He shrugged it off and proceeded to add the finishing coat to the same WHITE nail that he just hastily wiped the BLACK dots from. I pointed out the remnants of the black and he proceeded to cause a scene, pretending not to see the black, and involving the ONE other customer he had, saying he'd have everyone else look at it to prove that there was no black specks. I was sooo frustrated by this point, but he continued, stating that I was trying to get out of paying for my nails... I HAD, HAD IT!!! I went in my purse, pulled out my wallet and laid out all the cash I had on me (totaling only $80, but twice the amount of my service... costing only $35), I pulled out my visa and Amex and told him to take his pick. I was so upset, I told him to chose a method of payment, cash me out, and then come back and fix my nails!!! He humbled himself briefly enough to sit down and fix it, only to turn around and announce to the (now) TWO customers that my visa had declined. IMPOSSIBLE!!! I told him to try it again with me watching, and of course he refused, even had the nerve to say I had no money in my account! I told him he'd try the card again if he wanted to be paid. He continued to refuse stating that it costs him $0.50 every time he runs it. I told him to charge me the $0.50 when he runs my card again... HE CONTINUED TO REFUSE AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME. I stayed calm and told him to go ahead, he bluffed and then eventually took my card again. I watched closely as my card went through with no problem, but did he apologize, of course not... He accused me of transferring funds!!!Also, I saw the receipt printed from the "declined" transaction and it read "chip malfunction." He tried to humiliate and belittle me, but I paid and left. I will not be returning, and although his shoulder shrug indicates that he does not care, the yelp and google reviews that I'm reading now and the empty salon says otherwise! I'm not going to tell you where to spend your money... I just know I work too hard for mine!!! read more

Lovely Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

This is my first time ever writing a review, but i had such a horrible experience and i think writing one is absolutely necessary. Several different technicians helped me, and it felt like i was playing musical chairs. I asked for ombré nails, which they said they could do, and without communicating with one another they ended up doing the wrong thing and one of the workers responded to my request with "you still want to do that?" "well now you can't." Then one other worker started working on my nails and was complaining on how difficult the design was for her to do. Not to mention, they still charged me a ridiculous amount when i didn't get semi near the nails that i came in wanting and making very clear that i wanted from the beginning. Lastly, the customer before me got their nails completely for free because they messed up so doesn't really make sense why i had to pay for something i didn't want. Absolutely horrible experience, i would recommend never going to this salon. read more

ONE STAR NAIL SALON Had an appointment for 2 people for 3 pm. when making the appointment i asked if that was a good time - did they have openings at 3 pm. was assured they did. one of the reasons for making an appointment is so one doesn't have to wait. i was seen at 3:15 by the owner and my partner was seen by his wife at 3:30. DO NOT GO TO THIS WOMAN! because my partner complained about the 30 minute wait she was rushed over to give the pedicure. this pedicure lasted 15 minutes! - it was horribly done, rough - very rough - and not professional at all. when my partner said something about the pedicure not being that good - and in such a hurry - she barked back something about it being a good job. no, actually, it was a lousy job. mine was better - but nothing special at all. also, we noticed that when using the tools they used, not too sure if they were cleaned properly. for me, the owner sprayed something on the cuticle cutter - that's all. not sure how safe this was. of course, we won't be going back - just a really lousy place.. this is the second time this has happened in the st. petersburg area - hopefully, we will find another salon that is prompt - and where we can obtain a nice pedicure. read more

I live minutes from this location and had gone there on a regular basis a while back, until I started frequenting another salon for gel polish, which Lovely Nails did not offer at the time. I went back today after calling to learn they gel polish manicures. Unfortunately, I ended up paying $41 for what was supposed to be a Shellac manicure and toe nail polish change. The "manicure" was simply a polish change; the lady soaked off my old polish, ran a nail file across my nails, and then put gel polish on my nails. I failed to question the price at the time, as it is not my place to complain. However, my other salon offers a full pedicure and gel polish manicure for roughly $50. It remained on my mind, so I called the owner to explain my manicure did not include a cuticle trim or massage, which are standard at every other nail salon I have been to in the last 10 years. The owner told me my cuticles were trimmed, (as I stared down at my gross, gigantic cuticles and callused edges of my fingers). He did, however, admit I did not receive my massage. Moreover, he refused to remedy the situation or offer me any type of compensation or additional services. I politely told the owner this event would cause me not to frequent his store again. The prices are high at this salon compared to those in the Tyrone area. For example, an eyebrow wax is approximately a dollar more, and their Shellac (gel polish) is pricier. Although they are faster than a lot of salons, I question the pricing and quality of the services provided, not to mention the customer service. Unfortunately I will never go back to Lovely Nails, and now I will be driving 20 minutes for a good Shellac manicure. read more

Have had great experiences there. It is probably one of the cleanest around, good service and very friendly. They are up to date on all the new trends, love my ANC nails. Go check them out! read more

Not happy. I received a mani/pedi and eyebrow wax from this location. It is very clean, comfortable and reasonably priced...or so I thought. While getting my manicure a woman came in and complained that her acrylic nails had come off in just two days. I didn't pay much attention except that my manicure, on my own nails, started to chip and crack within hours of leaving. When I called to have them fixed they refused to fix them free of charge. They actually told me I would be lucky if polish lasted one day on real nails. Not to mention that they left the wax on my skin so long that it blistered and burned my right eye. I refuse to spend my money here. read more

I visit this nail salon frequently because of its close vicinity to my home. The service has always been average if not sub-par. Recently, I went to get my nails polished with gel polish and a pedicure. I asked for a design, but I was not happy with the design so I asked the tech to remove it. This prompted a undesirable attitude with the tech that included remarks regarding me disliking designs. The customer service aspect is really lacking with some, but not all employees. I had a horrible experience, I felt completely unappreciated and disrespected. I would never go back. I also wouldn't recommend this nail shop at all. read more

I have been to this shop several times in the past, but after yesterday, I will NEVER return. In addition to horrible service, their prices are ridiculous. Any service they provide has a series of add ons (things included in the regular price at other nail salons). They give you one price to get you in the door and then additional services are additional charges. I swear this woman upcharged me 4 or 5 times--$3 extra for this or $5 extra for that. In the end, I paid $60 and only got my nails shaped and buffed, a pedicure, and an eyebrow wax. They use dirty utensils which they don't bother to clean for the mani/pedis and the woman gouged a hole in my cuticle which bled profusely. She didn't even clean the tools after cutting me either. This shop is a staff infection waiting to happen. I will NEVER return to this shop and will gladly drive past it on my way to another salon on the other side of town in the future! read more

OMG! NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN! will I go there. A coworker convince me to go there because she said that she like her eyebrow services, but she wasn't so sure about how good they did nails. So fast forward to today, that nail lady destroyed my cuticles and my nail polish had small bubbles in it which is a big no no, I had nail glue on the side of my finger and acrylic on my cuticles. though I left and give her a tip I vowed to never come back, the lady that was doing my nails was going in on Miami, because I told her that I use to get them done all the time in Miami, she state "Miami no good, fake stuff, up here good," she was treating me like it was my first time, she didn't ask how long I wanted the nails I had to interrupt her and let her know how long, she didn't ask the shape I wanted, what pissed me off more was that she asked to be paid before she put the polish on. Really???. I wish I would of read the reviews, St.Pete really has nothing to offer for people who love to get their nails done. I would call this nail shop a chop, As for my nails, I went home and removed the nail polish, refiled the nails and added a pretty nail color. the best way to learn a lesson is if it costed you. 30 dollars later, I wished I would of never listen to my coworker. This place has very poor customer services, now I know why this place was empty. Lesson Learned read more
