Elegant Nails and Spa

LOVE this nail salon. My sister took me here and I will continue to go here. Everyone that works here really knows what they’re doing. Everyone does nails consistently well. I can have a different person do my nails every time but they always look good. The only bad thing about this place is the parking. Which everyone should be willing to overlook because of how awesome this place is!

Omg finally found a place that knows what they’re doing here in Tampa. My nails look amazing and they are getting back to being healthy. Yayyyy

So happy this salon is so close to my house! They offer Great competitive prices, the staff is super awesome and funny! Best pedicure I’ve EVER had!

Very rude people. My friend changed her mind on getting gel and the man who was doing her nails caught an attitude. He didn’t even try to help her find a color close to her previous gel selection. Her acrylics were bulky and painted poorly. The lady didn’t follow directions when it came to her eyebrows. I would avoid this place.

Lucky for them, Unilocal doesn’t let you write a review without giving at least ONE star…
My mother was in town and I decided to treat us to manis and pedis and read good reviews about this place. After driving 20 minutes to get there, and waiting about 7 minutes just to be greeted, they finally sat us down and started the super rushed pedicures. The massages lasted about a minute long (more like pounding on our hands and feet)…it was seriously terrible. They did not massage one of my moms legs at all. The nail technicians didn’t even put spa flops on before painting our feet so I assumed they were going to put our sandals on but didn’t do that, either. She stood up the whole entire time she did my pedicure to cash people out with the gloves on that she was JUST touching my feet with or to assist someone else while other staff was sitting around and able to do so. The lady who did my services was yelling in her language next to my ear the whole entire time and across the salon to other employees (NOT RELAXING AT ALL)!!! When it was time for my manicure, she didn’t take me to another station but instead stood on the left side of my body and made me stretch my RIGHT arm across to HER side the entire time (you can picture how uncomfortable that is). I felt so rushed and as the owner of the place, thought she would be a little more professional than that. To top everything off, my technician stopped doing my manicure to spray chemicals into the tub while my feet were STILL there. I literally tasted the spray in my mouth… then she half-​ass scrubbed the tub while my feet were up on the chair!!! YES, I WAS NOW SITTING IN A CURLED POSITION!!! I can’t believe I even put my feet in that tub after seeing her «clean» it for the next person! Neither tech bothered to clean up the polish on the skin around our nails and we had to do it when we got home. It was the worst nail experience of our entire lives. I will never go back or recommend this place to anyone.

The staff here is incredibly rude. I had three different people sit down to do my nails. They kept telling me it wasn’t their turn and ended up with three different nail techs. They charged me $ 25 for French shellac not even with a manicure. A rip off seeing how it lasted less than a week before it was completely ruined. Not worth the money at this place.

They do not value appointments. I made one for a waxing during my lunch break and sat for 15 minutes past appointment time before I left. I had a great experience before but I’m probably not going back.

The wait always takes forever and the nail stations are not clean. Go somewhere else. Rude

I’d never had a professional manicure before, so I did my research on local salons. This one had some of the best reviews for an affordable and quality gel manicure, so I decided to check it out. They welcome walk-​ins, which is a huge plus. I was helped right away, and I explained that this was my first time. My nail tech Bo was great about explaining the process to me. He worked quickly but he was still very precise about his work. I walked out of the salon with a smile on my face and beautiful gel nails. I would definitely recommend this place! Super affordable and great service from what I’ve experienced so far.

I’ve been here a few times, but most recently received the longest lasting Shellac manicure I’ve ever had (18 days in and just had the first chip). The prices are very reasonable– $ 20 for a very thick Shellac. So it’s a little dusty and not the most relaxing atmosphere, but they do good nails!

I’ve been here for a pedicure twice now and both times were fine. Both times I went it was really busy and I waited no more than 5 minutes to begin my pedicure. To me this was a standard pedicure, no different than any other place I’ve been to. In my experience they are big and well staffed, so there shouldn’t be a lot of waiting (unless you’re looking for something more specific, like shellac). The regular pedicure costs $ 20. This place is close to my house so I will return.

Been there three times now. Love it. Very clean they dont push products for you to buy/​get done. I have only had acrylic nails done there so far they’ve done great. I see a lot of people go for shellac and pedicures so I guess they are good with that as well. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been here quite a few times now. Their pedicures are to die for and the way they paint my toenails is perfection! HOWEVER, I always end up with the same guy to do the gel polish on my fingernails. I could get I to all the things about this guy that bother me but I will settle to say that he is sloppy and rude. His mannerisms come off aggressive and it makes me want to snap. I might only come here for pedicures from now on.

Get Tina for a pedicure. She spent 40 minutes on me. I asked when I first got in to use a razor on me because I have a lot of calluses (I work as a server). She spent 10 minutes alone razoring, and rebuffing my feet, when we got to the painting she noticed one foot was a little rugged still rebuffed, and then painted my toes rather than leaving it, so she actually cares about what shes doing.
For a manicure get Ken, he’s funny, and keeps you interested, and actually listens when you say you have sensitive fingers. He got rid of all my dead skin and never made me bleed.
Or my personal favorite Kim for a manicure, this woman is an ARTIST with a brush, I get my nails cut down to the flesh, and she’s still able to come up with small but adorable designs!
They are fair priced and ACTUALLY SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH, so you can say exactly what you want, they understand you, and give you what you want. They are my only nail salon from here on out!

I am with other Unilocalers in that some one needs to dust this place. I did get an excellent pedicure for a fantastic price. I just feel like they need a major cleaning.

First time there… They do not respect appointments, made and appointment at 12pm and they wanted me to wait until 12:30pm. I walked out and I am never going back! Very disorganized and not a very neat place.

have never had better/​longer lasting pink and whites in my life. I will only go here from now on for my nails.
pedicure was only alright… nothing special.
place is dirty — like dust-​wise. I feel like if they just ran a rag or a broom around, it could be so much better.

Employees do a good job — however if u don’t tip good enough they make you wait for service the next time… Not sure we will return

Best pedicure! Even if I moved to Brandon, I can’t find any place as great as here. So I’m willing to drive back to here just get my pedicure done:)

Love this place! I ONLY go here. Even the president of University of South South, Judy Genshaft, goes here; I saw her once.
$ 20 pedi/​$ 10 mani.
They have the great massage chairs and it is super relaxing. Spa is awesome.
Staff is super nice and friendly … even though I know that one lady was making fun of my feet that one time (everyone’s a comedian nowadays. Sheesh) but I ain’t trippin … I’m on a Salli Mae budget, i can’t get pedicures every 2 weeks … I’m just saying …
#BrokeGradStudentSwag all day.
ANYWAY! Yea … they are pretty cool :) Love this place.
GO THERE! … that is all (–_​_​-​)
