Lotus Nails Spa

We get toe jobs here whenever we’re in Sarasota. They do a great job and are super nice. They even do my 90 year old father’s toes, which is quite a job. My daughters get mani-​pedis – it’s a great multi-​gen activity on a rainy day and we come home looking great and feeling relaxed. And they give you a coke or a glass of wine too!

This is the first time I’ve visited this nail salon. They offer a lot of services and the staff was really nice. It’s a really clean and cute place. They offered me a drink which was really nice too. I got an express pedicure for 25 dollars. My pedicure looks beautiful. There was no wait time and she finished my pedicure in 20 minutes. The pedicure exfoliation massage that goes with the express pedicure wasn’t very good and lasted probably two minutes. That is the only thing I was disappointed about. The other pedicure was 35 dollars. Overall it was a really good experience but not the best. They offer a student discount to high schoolers for 15% off.

This was a horrible, horrible gel manicure! It was an awkward experience to begin with and then when the woman finished my nails they were horrible! My gel manicure looked like I painted them myself… They weren’t shiny and not smooth at all and there was paint all over my cuticles. And it was $ 30! They were so bad I left and went straight to a different nail salon on University parkway to have them redone… Now they are perfect and it was cheaper too! Don’t waist your time here.

The express pedicure was great, reasonably priced and the atmosphere quiet and restful. I will be returning !

I was pleasantly surprised when this nail salon took over Sunny’s (which I went to for years since I lived at the Broadway Promenade). Sunny’s was not a good salon… and neither is this one. I like the atmosphere better, but the prices and the quality is far below par. I spent $ 75 for a shellac mani/​pedi and the tips began to chip after just a few days. After the first week 4 had chipped just as normal polish would and I went back. I showed them the nails and sat down to have the same color re-​applied. When I went to check out (I assumed there would not be a charge since the whole purpose of paying more for shellac is the luxury of not having it chip) and sure enough! FULL PRICE!!! I again told the lady at the counter what had happened and she said, honest to god, «must of been a poor product» so I told her, well, it was your product that I had put on here less that a week ago, she still proceeded to take my payment and said she was sorry. As what I assume to be the manager walked up, I repeated the story (and to her this was a second time — she had verified the chipped nails when I walked in) she still did not offer me even a discount. I told her I would not be back and I will not. No wonder the place was empty — ZERO customer service and to someone who had had her nails done every 2 weeks for the last 10 years and lives next door? Not smart, Lotus.

Loved this salon, and the way they did my nails. Excellent staff, I told them I was rushing to the Opera, so they worked together to help me finish up fast. My nails came out looking so good and the day spa feeling was a very pleasant surprise. So glad to have this nail salon very close to downtown Sarasota.

Absolutely great service and super nice people. I just popped in around 5pm and they took care of me immediately … No wait. Peter is really nice, gentle, and did a great job from start to finish. I’m definitely coming back!
I got a manicure too… awesome.

Love this place. I have been coming here since my move up here in December always pleasant and professional and they do an awesome job

Great place! I live next door and every time I go they are friendly and I almost never wait.

Better than NY!
What a gem…
Since moving, I go every 2 weeks!!!
Many options and services, family run!

Lotus Nails is the ideal nail salon close to Downtown to pop in for a fast, clean, inexpensive & well done nail service. I always come to see Vicky as she is friendly and very welcoming to her clients.

I’m a long time Sarasota resident, and I’ve been going to high-​end salons for years to have my (horrifically thin!) nails done with acrylic at very high prices. I hesitate to go to new salons, because my nails are so bad that I can’t ever risk sub-​standard materials. In a pinch for time, I took a chance on Lotus Nails, next to the Publix on 41 and 10^th. I’ll be going here from now on! The shop is extremely clean and well run. The technician handled my nails — which included two broken far below the quick and one split in several places — very gently and competently. In only 35 minutes, I had perfect repairs, fill on all nails, and a shellac varnish that looks beautiful. The technician had some good advice about nail length and shape to keep disaster at bay from now on. And it was half of what I’m used to paying. Definitely a good option!

I love this Salon. It is very clean and quiet and they give great mani-​pedis for a reasonable
charge.
Thanks for being here Lotus Nails.

Sadly there is no option for 0 stars. I’ve never had such a more horrible experience. My husband and I came in for the first time after reading these rave reviews… My husband got the «express mani/​pedi» OBVIOUSLY NO POLISH OF ANY SORT… He was literally done in 25 minutes for both, which is fine bc it’s a male mani/​pedi, which is nothing compared to a female but they CHARGED HIM $ 35! No time wasted having to polish and clean and they still charged him exactly what they charged me!
Then my mani/​pedi… During the pedi, I noticed he hadn’t cut my cuticles… I have a lot of cuticles, unfortunately, which then turn hard and painful. The nail tech told me he did cut and I was forced to take his word for it bc I wasn’t exactly watching him, so I assumed maybe I missed it. I made sure to have an eagle eye during my mani. I literally saw the tech look at the cuticle cutter, then my nails and cut no cuticles. I had hang nails left and right and he was planning to do nothing about them. At that point, I stopped him and told him he had to cut my cuticles. He started speaking his language and I simply apologized (don’t know why bc I hadn’t done anything wrong) but explained that they hurt and I needed them cut! During this time, two sweet elderly women, who seemed like regulars and were nothing but sweet to everyone, especially the techs, were mocked by the employees. One of the ladies kept saying my hands don’t match my feet… They were blowing her off and ignoring her like she was crazy! When someone finally paid attention to her, they realized she was absolutely correct. Turns out, I had the same issue! When I look at my hands as he was polishing them, I noticed my hands were completely different from my feet. He starts to tell me I’m wrong and I asked him how he couldn’t see the difference. The techs began to gather around and speak in their language. I had 4 ppl huddled around me screaming Cantonese or whatever language they were speaking. I asked them to please speak English bc I feel as if they are speaking about me… They eventually fixed the polish but not without continuing to blabber in their language!
Pls take head! I respect others’ reviews, but they brought me in there and it was the worst decision!

Visiting from out of town and needed a manicure and pedicure. I called ahead (about 30 minutes) and they fit me right in!
Clean salon, they offered me a beverage and did a lovely job. Lotus is located right by Publix.. . Very convenient! Will come here again next time I’m in town

I was really excited to come here after reading the previous reviews. When I searched their website I came across a 10% discount on Tues/​Wed which I was unable to get even though I went to get my nails done on a Wednesday. I had the worst gel manicure I’ve ever had. It peeled off within 3 days, it was obvious the man doing it was very unskilled because he left large gaps where there should have been polish, and even painted over my skin on other spots. There was a sign out front saying there was new ownership, and that must have been the reason for all the great reviews previously. Under the new owners, I’d never go there again!

Visiting for business and needed a pedi and mani. Decided to give Lotus a shot and I’m so glad I did! Randy took care of me and seriously went above and beyond. I got the deluxe pedi and he took longer in the massage than any other place I’ve gone to. HEAVEN! I had an injury and he focused around my calves which I needed. I would absolutely come back when I come back to visit!

Great place! In town on vacation, came here based on Unilocal and distance. Staff was very attentive. Sometimes when you’re an out of towner, service can be dismal since you won’t be back. Not the case here. A clean gel manicure, great chairs for pedis (gentle hands). Place is modern with beverages to offer! If I lived here, this would be my salon!

We travel quite a bit and I am always on the look out for a convenient salon for a pedicure. I found one today! I had some shopping to do at Publix on Tamiami Trail and stumbled upon Lotus.
Very clean, very polite staff, a family run business. I had the «deluxe» pedicure which was wonderful. Very soothing, sugar scrub and a mask for hydration and a foot/​leg massage for $ 35.00. Standard pedicures are the usual $ 25.00.
I am home now, my feet feel great and I think I will book an appointment for my husband who is a golfer and always appreciates a foot massage.
My technician was Randy. Very gentle but also very thorough. Very soft spoken and
were the rest of the staff there.
