Golden Nails

Excellent manicure here.
I entered to find a bright and spacious nail salon. Asked to wait a few minutes, I sat down to find there was free WiFi on offer as well, which is always a welcome perk anywhere. Especially when my Irish mobile contract didn’t work in US.
I brought my own varnish, which was no problem and we got started.
Some polite chit chat, but the rest of the time I happily watched a food channel that was on.
The drying table they had was a new one on me, but it’s probably standard in the US. It’s a square unit that dries either hands or feet of up to four people.
I left with fabulous nails which looked really well and lasted really well also. At 15 USD, it was great value too.
Recommended.

So happy! I just moved to treasure island and I needed to get my nails done and this was a block away from my house … I never got his name but I had the guy who works there do my nails. He did an awesome job, exactly what I wanted. I came in for a fill with some butchered nails and he gave gave them life again, shaped them perfect and made them thin and natural looking like I liked. My boyfriend got a pedicure and said it was good too. I’d reccomend them if you’re looking for a nail spot in Treasure Island!

I spotted this place near my hotel, so decided to get my nails redone due to them chipping after all the beaches and saltwater. Although a manicure was only $ 20, it was not done well. My nails were rough at the ends and I think the lady doing them spent more time looking outside than at my nails. I shouldn’t have top file my own nails after a manicure. I would try another place before going back here.

I was not happy with the service I received. I needed a fill and had color on. It was a guy that was «taking care of me» he wasn’t very nice and seemed like he just wanted to be done. He kept pulling my hands and twisting my fingers in a way that did not now and it did hurt. When he was filling my nails I said ouch, he said why are you saying ouch? And I replied because it hurt??? And again when he was twisting my finger and when he was done I was stretching it and then looked at me and laughed. I asked him if he was laughing at me? And he didn’t say a word. To me it was very unprofessional and rude. He didn’t listen to me and kept asking me the same questions I had already answered. Prices was decent but not for that experience I will never go back there.

I stopped in on vacation just because it was a short walk from my hotel. I got a new full set of pink & whites and a shellac pedicure. I am really picky about pink & whites and I think they did a great job for a great price. I will return next time I’m on vacation here.

This review is long overdue!
I got married at the Sheraton Sand Key across the street last May, and needed a place to get my nails done the day before the wedding. I called and scheduled an appointment for me, 4 bridesmaids, my mom, and cousin. They had cleared out their schedule for us, even when we arrived late, and were able to squeeze us in.
They did an absolutely beautiful job. My French manicure was flawless, and lasted well through our honeymoon, including several scuba diving adventures. My pedicure also lasted forever, in fact it looked great for about a month!
The salon is clean and I had a great experience, despite being stressed out the day before the wedding. They even told me to come back for a touch-​up if anything got messed up before the big day. All destination brides on the south side of Clearwater should consider this salon!

Look every nail salon is the same it’s all in who you get. I went in wanting a quick polish change using vinylux products since it’s long lasting. The woman did an ok job on my toes using regular opi but my hands (vinylux) were streaky and the application was not good. A gentleman there re-​did my nails and they looked great. I believe the original woman wasn’t experienced with the product and didn’t apply it properly. That being said my manicure didn’t last as long as usual because, and I’m not sure but think they may have diluted the polish thus making it less effective. I will try them again since I am a seasonal resident, and will ask for a different technician and let you know how it goes. I do know a few
people who go here on a regular basis and are very happy with their services.

Nope. Don’t go here. Went on a whim and it was the worst mani/​pedi I’ve every had. My cuticles are throbbing bc they were bleeding from being cut without being properly soaked. No one was friendly and both services were rough. My nails look so sloppy, I should have just opted out after the poor experience of the pedicure. Disappointed I even paid for the service, would have been better to light $ 60 on fire.

Come here every time we visit family in Clearwater. Great value & service

I read the reviews so I figured this would be a good clean place to go, but it was neither!!! I went in for a mani/​pedi which they rushed through and the pedi started chipping that same day!!! Also, I’ve never in my life had any type of nail infection or fungal problem until I went to this place!!! Thank God I was only visiting Clearwater and will never have to go back to Golden Nails again!!! I wish I had paid the extra money and just went to the Marriott!!!

Clean salon with pleasant employees. I’m only sorry that I’m just visiting the area as I would love to come back… often!!!

Awesome service!
Was visiting from California, my toes were in need of some TLC. They were very welcoming and friendly did not make this man feel awkward at all. I like the technique they use and the massage chair was the best I have experienced in a salon. Would give them 6 stars if I could. The other patrons were friendly too, if they were younger I could see us all doing the «Bend and Snap» routine.

Before traveling to Clearwater Beach for a conference, I researched nail salons in the area because I was sorely in need of a pedicure, but didn’t have time to get it done before leaving Chicago. The only place near the hotel that I could find was an overpriced salon located in the Marriott. At $ 65 for a pedicure, I knew I wouldn’t be going there.
When I checked into our hotel (the Sheraton Sand Key), I asked at the front desk whether there was a place nearby to get a pedicure. I expected the staff to automatically recommend the Marriott salon, because it’s directly across the street from the Sheraton. But, I was pleasantly surprised when the staff member recommended Golden Nails, which is located in a strip mall just next to the Marriott.
My colleague and I were able to walk in without an appointment, were immediately seated in the massager chairs and pedicures commenced. The nail techs were super friendly and did a great job. They tried a couple of times for the upsell (need a manicure? want to get your eyebrowns waxed? You know, we do massages here?) but easily took «no» as our answer. They were not at all pushy.
The pedicure only set me back $ 25, which was a great price compared to the salon in the Marriott!
