Sarana Nails & Spa

I love this place, when it comes to my nails I’m SUPER picky and I have to say that this is the only salon that I consistently go to. Sarah and Ryan hook it up and I love their selection of polish and gel. I usually go in all indecisive but their always there to help! The only reason why I’m giving them four stars is because I think they could use more staff and better time management.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I told them I was in a rush and man did they deliver! They got me in and out in 20 minutes, with out skimping on quality. Besides the modern, clean, professional décor they deliver smashing service at an incredibly affordable price (30 dollars for a gel treatment).
I love this place and can’t wait to go back.

I’ll never go anywhere else in the city again! This place does the thinnest acrylics ever!!! I hate when I get acrylics and they make them chunky… Not here! Sara and Ryan are the best! Get the parafin wax dip, it makes your hands so soft.

Came in from out of town with a broken nail and found Sarana on Unilocal!So happy I found them because Ryan quickly helped me out and did a great job on my nail fix. Super grateful! While I didn’t get any designs I could tell that they do AMAZING work just from all the supplies they had! Would definitely stop in for a fill if I was in town :)

This is a great business. I’m going to start off by saying that I read a few bad reviews, but I still came for my appointment, and a lot was on the line — senior prom! I had a great experience! Angie did my toes and made a great suggestion that changed the whole look and Ryan did my acrylics and it was obvious that he knew what he was doing. I had prom the next day and made a reservation a week in advance. I loved what they did — Everything matched my prom attire. The pedicure included a leg massage and a hot stone massage. It was $ 62 for a full set of acrylics and a pedicure, but I tipped Angie and Ryan $ 5 each. Free drinks (champagne, mimosa, water, etc) were offered free of charge. Glad I discovered this hidden gem.

The space is lovely and clean. However, I have been a few times now and each time my gel manicures have lasted less than one week. And, the price you pay, 30+ for a regular gel manicure just isn’t worth it for a hasty job. The last time I went, my gel mani had all peeled up within four days. When I returned to have it fixed (assuming it was free of charge… It was, but not even worth the time I spent waiting despite having an appointment), no one even really spoke to me, it was quickly done, and very uneven… It also peeled off in less than a week. I may return for some fancy nail art (they do amazing art!) but not for a regular gel manicure at that price with Such a short lasting period of time.

I’m sure I can’t be the only one to really crave a manicure randomly like some people crave chocolate. Came here on a whim because I was away from my usual place by my apartment. Nice girls, not bad for a $ 14 manicure but started chipping after 3 days and now I’m sad. Great color selection though

This place SUCKS ! I came in for my 2:30 appointment. Waited an HOUR for them to finish with other girls. They proceeded to take 3 girls before me. Noticing how angry I was, the girl in the first chair took her own sweet time with the other girls. Yes, I would’ve gone elsewhere but I’m from Chicago. I needed my nails done and was desperate. NEVER AGAIN! They are awful. Just awful. Go elsewhere! After three days, I got a FUNGUS!!! Terrible.

The salon is clean and very modern. The staff is friendly for the most part. I went in to get a full set of acrylic nails. The gentleman that helped me was Ryan, he really didn’t say much to me before or while doing my nails. I told him I wanted coffin nails and that’s what I got. But they were so uneven and shaped too bubbly. I asked him to redo my middle finger because it was a lot shorter then the rest of my nails and he got agitated why I even asked. He kept filing down the side of my nails and it kept making the nails look unnatural. Eventually when he came to paint them someone placed a napkin on the side of my table when he finished panted on hand I moved it so he can start on the other and my nail hit into the napkin. He started shaking his head as if I placed the damn napkin there and it was my fault. I still stayed quiet and had him finished. Once I was done I paid 35 dollars for my nails, I thanked him and tipped him 5 dollars. I felt as if I did something wrong the entire time, but I shouldn’t even have to feel like that when I was friendly and just wanted great looking nails. I got my nails done Saturday and they came off today, which is Tuesday morning besides my thumb nail. I think press ons would have lasted longer. He had my natural nails still show with the acrylic, which lead them to come off so easily.
My sister got her nails done by the mother and sister and hers came out beautiful. The shape and everything. They looked well done. Mine on the other hand were done by Ryan which looked like he had a bad day to begin with. I’ll never go back.

Absolutely love this place! I hadn’t been here since they just opened a few years ago but stopped by to get a full set and design. Ryan did my nails and they look amazing! His attention to detail is awesome and his filing is on point. This salon is definitely on their game in terms of being able to do awesome designs freehand and adding jewels and all the stuff you see on Instagram… a far cry from the old school nail salons that don’t do that kind of stuff. Sarana is on Instagram too so you can not only check out their work, but can also DM them a photo of a design you like so they can look at it before you come in (IG: sarana_​nails). great experience! can’t wait to come back.

Best nail salon in northern liberties. I’ve tried 4 (this being the 4^th) and the other places don’t compare. All you have to do is show them a picture and they can match it.

I’m updating my review due to my changing experience with this salon since I started coming here over a year ago.
The longer I’ve been coming, the less quality service I get. I feel that bc I am an existing customer they do not think it’s important to work as hard with me as with the new customers. I get close to zero attention at this point. The technicians do not greet me anymore, they always take care of their personal issues while doing my nails, disregarding my questions or desires, they are just trying to finish it and move on to their personal life issues. No goodbye or thank you. They always have more important things to take care of and I’ve been asked many times to understand them. Getting your nails done is a luxury type of service, were you look forward to nice atmosphere, good service and to relax a bit.
I always call to schedule my appointments and 90% of the time they are extremely late or assign me to someone else that I did not desire. At this point I even do my own paraffins dip! No one bothers do it for me. But they charge me for it.
If I was the owner of this place I’d rethink this attitude, because there are other places where frequent customers like myself Can take our money to. And I have a feeling that my business and my money will be more appreciated elsewhere as a regular customer.
Treat your regulars well. They’re the ones providing you with stable income. Just sayin’…

Went to Sarana for the first time on Saturday and had a great experience — eventually. I made a 10:15 appointment for a full set and pedi and got there at about 5 after 10. One of the nail techs greeted me, asked did I want something to drink. Okay fine, but then I sat… and sat… and SAT and before I knew it, nearly 11 o’clock rolled around before my nail tech arrived — who I later realized was Sara –by accident as she never introduced herself. From that point, everything else was top notch. I did get my full set (which I love!) but, because of the wait time, I decided against the pedi. However, I will be returning; I’m willing to take a little abuse for a great result

Ryan and Sarah do the absolute BEST job on nails. They take their time and make sure your nails come out exactly the way you asked if not better… anyone who has had a bad nail job knows how important that is.
I absolutely refuse to go anywhere else!

On New Year’s Eve, I came in for an acrylic full set in the stiletto shape. My appointment was for 3:00pm and I arrived on time. I knew there would still be a wait due to it being a holiday and I had no issue with that.
At 3:30pm, I’m still waiting for service and a woman with a 3:30pm appointment enters and is asked to pick a color for her manicure and they begin her service promptly. I ask why and they tell me it’s because of the service she’s getting (manicure).
At this point, I would normally just leave and take my business elsewhere but I waited because I really wanted my nails done to go out that night. I got my full set and was pleased with the results despite the unfair treatment.
Today (January 30^th), I returned for removal of my acrylic full set and a gel manicure. My appointment was originally for 1:30pm but I called ahead to push it to 1:45pm since I was running late and they accepted. I arrived on time and waited about 20 minutes (even though there was a technician who was free to do my service).
At this point, a woman without an appointment enters and asks the wait time for a pedicure and gel manicure. They tell her there’s no wait and to pick a color. She picks a color and waits for about 2 minutes before the free nail technician suddenly emerges and invites her to the pedicure bowl.
I don’t cause a fuss, I just leave. I gave them a pass once but I will not be returning for this unfair treatment. I hope it’s not a race thing, but that’s all I can attribute their behavior to at this point.

Amazing job on my nails. came in town from Syracuse and tried to go here before and they were honest about not having any openings which I appreciated but was bummed out.
My next trip down we made it in and I’m so glad I tried again. The atmosphere is beautiful. The employees were great! My nails came out better than I even hoped and he did an amazing job freehand! I had no vision and couldn’t be happier. The prices are great for the quality. I will be coming back every time I come to the area! Best nail salon I’ve ever been to

Changing my review from 4 to 2 stars after returning for a second time. This place has a weird smell that made me nauseous. I got used to it after a while but it was really bad. Also after 2 days my toe nails are already chipping. I will not be returning.

I went to Sarana Nails for a quick manicure before heading out of town for a wedding. It was clean, the employees were friendly, offered me a drink and began working on my nails right away.
The woman that painted my nails was extremely slow, and applied the polish too thick. I dried them as long as I could before heading to a work meeting, but the polish bubbled shortly after I left the salon. Since the polish was so thick, my nails were tacky for several hours following my mani… which (naturally) caused me to mess up several of them by bumping things. Needless to say, I didn’t have the best groomed nails that weekend and I won’t be returning to Sarana.

I love this nail shop! Best in the business
When I came in for the first time, I just needed a color change. I ended up getting Ryan, he’s very nice and creative. I been bouncing to salon to salon just to find the perfect one. I think I found the one I will stick to. The décor is very up to date and stylish. The art on the building is gorgeous! You can not miss the building. Not to mention the bathroom is everything

I came in on a Thursday afternoon and had Sarah do my nails.
The salon is beautiful, and they treat their customers the same way you’d treat a guest in your home. They offered me juice, water or sparkling wine, and then offered me another drink after my first was finished.
Sarah did an excellent job on my acrylic/​gel nails and I will definitely return at some point when I am in that area again.
