Sweet Life Nails and Spa

Found this place on Unilocal,was def excited to find a place nearby with good reviews.
First impressions weren’t great. The place was kinda run down. It was messy. I was debating whether or not I should walk away. I decided to give the place the benefit of the doubt and stayed. Most of the associates were on their phones and even the tech that was giving me my pedicure was on the phone for about 10 mins into the procedure.
I asked for a regular mani/​pedi, but was told that a gel was around the same price, so I went for it. The tech gave me a great pedicure even though the seats were uncomfortable and a little awkward. My manicure came out great. Overall, the tech did a great job but she was saying that she was leaving to another salon cause she didn’t get paid enough here. Again, a little unprofessional in my opinion.
All in all, I received a good mani/​pedi and the associates were friendly. I would go back, and did recommend it to some of my friends, however the salon should work on their upkeep as it looks a little run down.

I’ve been coming here every 2 weeks for about 2 years already. The upside: The shop is cute and Kimberly is absolutely the best nail tech ever! Super sweet, great with designs, takes her time, and the list just goes on and on! Great prices as well, gel mani with regular pedi for $ 35! You really can’t beat it. The downside: the selection of gel colors isn’t as big as most salons. But overall, great place to get your nails done!

After the terrible service I received from a previous salon, I was a tad scared. I walked in, Priscilla was waiting for me, and quickly got to it! Nice pedi and nice convo! When it was time for my mani, Priscilla did a terrific job! She handed me over to Kim for my nail art… which I appreciate the honesty in knowing that’s not her specialty. Kim did exactly what I asked and was so detailed in her work. I’m hooked… mind you, pricing is CRAZY GOOD! I’M SOLD.

THE GOOD :
First off Kimberly rocks 5******. She’s the best hands down! She takes her time and makes you feel comfortable. Her method of doing the Manicures is awesome !! I love her :) I’ve been going to sweet life nails and spa for about a now month.
THE BAD:
My second time visiting the experience was horrible! !!! However Kim saves the day!
I recently booked with Kim and received the gel manicure and regular pedicure. My toe messed up, so I went back to get it fixed. I get there the NEXT DAY and the COLOR IS GONE. I’m sitting there «Are you serious». I had to change the entire color on my toes, which made me upset because I like matching HANDS AND FEET, this situation should never happen, very unacceptable.
*colors should always be available*

I came here for the fist time after finding it on Unilocal.I needed a last minute mani/​pedi and saw if you checked in on Unilocal the combo was $ 30 which seemed reasonable to me.
I was attended to right away on a Friday afternoon. The young girl started with a pedi which came out pretty well despite the fact that it was obvious she was new to this job. The chairs are more like living room chairs which were comfortable but you have to put your foot up in the tech’s lap which was awkward and not relaxing at all.
Then we started on the gel mani. This took so long that by the time we got to the actual polishing part, an older tech had to come over and pretty much take over. I am completely understanding of training new tech’s but it was obvious this girl was not comfortable with clients yet.
I left with semi ok nails and was happy with my pedi however… four days later the gel, which is supposed to last longer than a typical mani, I mean that is why it’s more expensive correct… on each nail the entire gel polish began coming off one by one. Ive never had this happen so soon after a gel manicure.
Here it is less than a week later and I have to go spend another $ 30 for them to be redone.
I probably will not give this place another try.

This place deserves a 1 star. I waited 1 hour to get my nails done when I had a appointment. Do not come the lady gave me two different color nail polishes on my feet and charged me $ 35 when it says $ 30 «supposedly the price changed»

I honestly hate how they don’t have a legitimate way of booking appointments, I came in was told the technician was going to be 5 minutes but I waited literally 2 hours and got upset so I left. They have good pricing but need to a good system for booking, as well they need more gel variety especially if they have the special going on. I wanted to like it since it’s close to home but, I don’t think I’ll be back.

Always had a service with a smile. Kimberly is the best very patient and very dedicate to detail. I wish the owner would have more of the popular colors… I love my nudes and every time I pick it. it won’t last not even a week.

I really wanted to like this place, but my experience was less than satisfactory.
My usual nail salon was booked out for the day, so I wanted to give this place a try, although it was a little out of the way for me. I bought a Groupon for a gel mani/​pedi. I made my appointment and even showed up 10 minutes earlier. I arrive to find my assigned technician with another client. (Pretty annoying, but I didn’t make a big deal out of it).
Another technician, (Giovanna I believe was her name?) took me instead. While she was extremely friendly, she took FOREVER. It literally took her 3 ½ to complete my service. The pedicure took so long that my feet became pruny. In the 12 years that I’ve been going nail salons, I’ve never spent so much time in one — mind you, the place was not very busy at all. I did come to find that it was her first day and she had just graduated beauty school, so I tried to cut her a little slack.
Until…this happened:
After spending literally half my day in the salon, 2 hours later — three of my nails peeled off. Did I mention these were GEL? I figured since she took her sweet time, I’d have an everlasting manicure — which was certainly NOT the case.
Not only did my entire day go to waste, but so did my money.
I will not be back.

Made an appointment for a manicure and pedicure. Both came out very nice. The ladies at the salon are great! Overall, the best salon experience ice had in Miami so far.

Nice place! Owner is very accommodating and my nails came out beautifully. Pricing is fair as well. Quality salon for sure!

My sister recommended this nail salon to me, because I was looking for a cheap good nail salon for prom. And when I heard about this place and saw the pics, I had to go, I was contemplating it for a while, considering this place is small, I had never heard of it before, and prom is a big deal and everything must be perfect !! But I got over my fear and went anyways, and I was not disappointed ! This place is not only cheap ! I got the $ 30 Gel Manicure and Pedicure. but their service is great ! I did get there a little early, I was the first appointment of the day, at 10:30 but I got there at 10, so my manicurist wasn’t there, but I wasn’t upset, considering I did get there early, but even though I got there that early, one of the girls Kim kept me occupied while I waited, spoke to me, helped me pick out my colors, and soaked my feet in water to get ready for my pedicure. The salon had wifi which I enjoyed because I was able to watch my shows on my phone while I got my pedicure done. When I finally when to go get my manicure done, I thanked Alex (my manicurist) so much!!! because she realized that the color I had picked out wasn’t the color that matched with my toes ! If it wasn’t for her I would’ve had an attack if they didn’t match for prom! The salon is small but it’s very welcoming and gives you a comforting feeling. I love the way the place is decorated, and it’s all very clean and great. I will return and recommend to people. I loved my experience there.

The place was terrible, the manicurist was late to my appointment and than I had the worse nail Gel manicure in the world. It seriously peeled/​chipped off the next day. I was sooo upset. Total waste of money. It must of been a cheap brand. I won’t be going back again. Save your money! Went there with a groupon. I brought 3 mani/​pedi. Once I had my bad experienced I contacted groupon and asked them to refund my last 2 mani/​pedi. Which they did. :/

These ladies are the greatest! It’s a beautiful and homey nail salon and spa. Ingrid, the owner, is awesome. Always checking on you to make sure everything is going well. Kim’s nail art is impeccable. She’s willing to try anything AND it’s all by hand. Definitely recommend!

Got a Groupon for this salon a few months ago. It’s super convenient since it’s so close to my neighborhood. Found it really DIFFICULT to set up an appt but I finally got through last night made an appt for next day. The salon is small, cozy & has a nice little collection of polishes. Don’t expect massage chairs or anything real fancy, just come & get your nails done. Kimberly took really good care of me. Very friendly, accomadating and did a great job on my mani-​pedi. She is really creative with her designs! She basically does it all in the store, her neighbor isn’t that friendly though as first impressions go and spends a good chuck if her time outside. The prices outside of groupon aren’t bad. I was told $ 30 for a regular mani/​pedi. Tues & wed they have a special for gel mani & pedi for $ 25. I’ll probably come again & have Kimberly beautify me

I purchased a Groupon for this salon and was hopeful that I would find a really great local salon to do my nails. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The manicure and pedicure that I received were pretty good but that’s the extent of the positives I can give this place. The girl who attended to me, I don’t even know her name because she didn’t introduce herself and she certainly didn’t ask me what my name was. It was very uncomfortable, as a matter of fact it seemed more like a series of commands and hand gestures than like a relaxing salon experience. The place wasn’t particularly dirty but nothing seemed clean either. There was one other employee and she seemed much friendlier and was interacting with her client but I don’t recall her name. At one point the owner came in and she said hello to her employees but ignored the clients too. Now I’m not much of a talker when I visit salons but there’s a difference between someone letting you relax and someone not speaking to you for an hour. I cannot recommend this place to anyone not even with a Groupon. Take your business somewhere where you will be appreciated as a customer.

I bought a groupon because this place is 2 mins away from my house. I am so glad I bought the groupon, the customer service and attention is great. Kimberly is very experienced and kind. You can show her a picture of a design and she will match it. She makes sure to make every customer feel valued and gives you the attention you need. And makes sure you like what you are paying for. This is my new nail place even after my groupon deal expires.

Well, what can i say about this place. From the momment i walked in i was greeted by both the ladies that work their. This place is absolutely cute and feels like right at home. This place is unique, and i like that. One thing that caught my attention was the pedicure stations, at first i thought well where do i get my pedicure done since there’s no «spa pedicure chair» just couches? Yes that is true the couches are where the pedicures are done, oh they are so comfortable, i like that the pedicure bowls are detachable and they use plastic liners, so once the pedicure is done they throw out the liners and use new ones each time. I like that the ladies are very precise, detailed, and accurate. I also like that they ask to double check if anything is okay. I love the ambiance. I love the cleansing of the tools also that they each hace about 3 of each just for the sake of not wasting time, the pedicure stations, their own stations and the shop. I will definetly come back simply for the convinience that it is near my home, they provide good customer service, and are friendly. I appriciate their services.

I purchased the gel mani/​pedi on Groupon and wanted the 3 deal but it was no longer available. I thought wow this place must be good. I called and was able to make an appointment for today. I tried to go in earlier but was told they couldn’t take me because they were booked. I like this. I arrive and the place is small but cute. I was greeted by a friendly young lady. I selected my colors and sat on a very comfortable gray chair. From a distance I observed the tech remove the nail tools from a plastic purple case (ones like u would keep pens and pencils in when in elementary school) The tech sprayed an unknown liquid on the tools. She wiped it down with a sheet of paper towel and placed it next to me on a table. I glimpsed and observed the tools to be dark in color (strange.) I retrieved the nail clipper and determined the ENTIRE thing was as fully rusted. I then look at the other tools and determined the same rust to be true on the other pieces. I discreetly walked in the back and asked her if she plans on using those rusted equipment on me and she replied yes. The tech informed me the rust is due to the cleaning solution and she DID NOT have another one that wasn’t rusted. I explained to her how it posed a health concern and she smiled apologizing shaking her head. At this time I looked down and wondered how in the world was I to get a pedicure when there weren’t any spa tubs. I noticed a dirty black or gray foot stand which I believe she wanted me to place my feet. I walked out and will never be back. First thing I did was write this review. Next I will email Groupon requesting a refund. If you care about your health do not go here.

The attention and sweetness I was treated with from the moment I walked in was so nice. I had the gel manicure and pedicure done. I loved that I was given plenty of time to choose my colors, Kimberly took care of me and did a great job! I completely recommend her! My nails look awesome, I’ve received many compliments. :-) I will most definitely return!
