Fancy Nails

I travel frequently and stopped here with a co-​worker several months ago. I’ve now been back two more times. Any time I’m here in Florida I will come to get a pedicure. They do such a great job and price is cheap!

$ 25 for a gel polish change? My nail polish had already been removed prior to showing up, so literally just to paint my nails I was charged the price of a full set at Heavenly Nails… Won’t be going back.

Cleanliness is average
Service sucks (on multiple occasions)
Work is good
Color selection is above average
Menu/​pricing is on par with the area
All in all, will not return solely based on the service. At times, while waiting double the estimated amount of time, I wanted to leave and take my business elsewhere. Perhaps to the seven other locations within two miles.
I was never asked to have a drink. What seemed to be the manager questioned me three times about my previous service instead of focusing on the line that was literally leaving in droves.
The wait time is not only inaccurate but also bleak.
Net of net if I had a gift card, I would pawn it off on a child who doesn’t mind crap service and wait time.

So apparently, I either get wine or a good massage! LOL. This nail salon while it didn’t offer me an alcoholic bev did deliver when it came to massage and quality. The salon is clean, my nails looked great, and it was really one of the best massages I’ve ever had. My only issue is that it took like an hour and a half for my shellac nails, but it seemed to take a while for her to get the old shellac off. But overall a great experience!

I have been coming to Fancy Nails for years now. Even after I moved from Tampa to St Pete I still drive all the way over there to get my nails done! Don does the best shellac in the area and Tina gives the best pedicures. They are affordable, clean, and with a great atmosphere. I have tried tons of nail salons in Tampa and St Pete but nothing compares to the quality and price at Fancy Nails.

Clean, friendly and comfortable and by far the best leg and hand/​arm massage I’ve ever had in a nail salon. I happened to be in town and needed both bad– called a half hour prior to make appointment– they are even opened on Sun– when I arrived I didn’t have t o even wait a minute to be taken back to the chair. If I’m every back in town l definitely would come here again! They also offer water, sodas and wine :) Great Place

Let me preface this update by saying that it truly troubles me having to write this update because I loved this nail salon and everything that I wrote before stands true; but what happened recently has made me change how I see it.
I went to fill in my acrylics after waiting for a couple of weeks. In this time I changed my colors myself, played with them and did all sorts of other stuff but they didn’t look great with my overgrown natural nail anymore. I went nice and early, I was promptly serviced (they’re truly efficient) and this time it was a different guy. He was attentive and quick.
When he removed the nail polish I noticed a dark spot under my index fingernail but thought that maybe it was dirt and didn’t worry too much. He continued doing his job, filing away until he got to that finger. He got a different file (pointy tapered one) and started filing under my «dirty» index and the spot didn’t go away. After prodding and filing (and the spot still there) he just said «You play with dirt? Haha.» and didn’t remove the nail to clean it or to figure out what was there, he just layered on more acrylic and kept on going.
This truly bothered me because I thought it might be a bacterial infection, so as soon as I got home I started removing my freshly filled-​in nails; starting by the index nail. What I found was truly disgusting (refer to pictures to see it) I didn’t know whether it was a chunk of my nail falling or what, but it looked «unhygienic» to say the least.
I filed whatever it was away myself and soaked it with lots of alcohol just in case and it eventually fell. This only tells me that the tools they’re using are filthy and rarely even disinfected, which in my opinion is simply not right.
If you still decide to visit this place, do it under your own risk and keeping in mind that what they use on you might have been used on plenty of other people without being cleaned in between you and the other clients.

Lived in Tampa since 2013… From NJ– so I know nails :) this place is clean, fast, professional, and their new pedicure/​private party room is awesome!

Fancy nails is clean, consistent and the staff are friendly and attentive. For a great mani/​pedi I definitely recommend.

Great nail salon! Staff is friendly and service is pretty quick compared to other places I have been. They always do a great job and my nails always last long and don’t chip. My pedicures are always long lasting at well.

This is the best salon in Florida. Henry is the best !!! You must have him do your nails

I loved going to Fancy Nails. I’ve been there twice to get a shellac manicure and both times my nails have turned out great. Great service and good prices. Just make sure to make an appointment because they get pretty busy.

This was the first time I came here and it was great! Just had a basic pedicure done and it was fantastic. I called 20 min early, they took me right away, didn’t have to wait at all. Friendly nice staff, offered wine, soda, water and other drinks. Definitely planning on coming back for a mani soon!

Hold up some of these complaints are very skewed. #1 there are a lot nail salons but I always say if you have to wait it is usually worth it. I have been going there for years and came from other salons that gave me fungus time after time. Yes sometimes they are crazy busy but again they are worth the wait.
If you don’t want to wait make an appointment, pick a regular person and than maybe you will be happy. Honestly I don’t know if you’ll be happy!!!
Great salon, great prices and the most hardworking folks!!!

Let me start by saying… I was already annoyed My friend DRAGGED ME IN HERE THE MORNING OF GASPARILLA BECAUSE SHE JUST HADDDD TO GET HER NAIL REPLACED and that turned into and entire fill and a manicure for me.
It seemed crowded to me but the man doing my friend’s fill, said wasn’t. It seemed like a nice salon, with 2 rooms full of manicure chairs. It was my first time here so I’m not sure how busy it gets.
However…The person doing my friend’s nails, was much more interested in our conversation than he was to get her done and out of there. Not only that, HE KEPT MAKING SMART REMARKS THAT IRRITATED ME EVEN MORE! I actually had to tell him TO WORRY ABOUT HER NAILS AND NOT WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT! The guy’s attitude was a problem for me. I don’t care if that’s his personality or if it’s cute to him.
My manicure was AVERAGE AT BEST and it ended abruptly. So abrupt that I didn’t know that it HAD ended. UH, YEA!
Bad customer service experience for me but other women seemed to like it here. I know I’m not coming back unless I have to. I was just rubbed completely wrong here.

Very unorganized. It took an hour and forty five minutes, plus three different people to complete a shellac manicure and pedicure. At the end of it all, I was less than satisfied with my nails. Horrible cuticle job and uneven paint job. Also, it was $ 85 total!!! Highest price in town. I will never return!

I had a gel manicure and regular pedi. Walk in on a Sunday with minimal wait. The massage chair was broken and customer service was minimal. It appeared that there were a lot of regular customers around me who requested specific attendants. As a new walk-​in I may have just not had a great initial impression. Price was okay. Will look for other parlour/​spa but will be back in a pinch

About a day after my initial review I got a message from the owners of fancy nails asking me to come back for my pedicure. I was nervous at first but I’m glad I went back. Everyone was very nice and they even had the same girl finish my pedicure. She did a fantastic job. Now I see why they have such high ratings in the first place. I’m glad I gave them a second chance and I am pleasantly surprised that they pay so much attention to their customers. I’m a happy camper!

I was able to walk in and get a pedicure. The place is huge so there are plenty of stations available and plenty of staff working. I got a pedicure by one of the girls and it was great. She took her time and I had a nice long message. Everything was sanitary and clean, definitely coming back

Best nail salon! After having acrylics for over 10 yrs straight, my nails were so thin, they educated me on how to care for them, the difference b/​w shellac, gel & gelish & how most nail salons claim to use shellac, but it’s actually gel, how to tell the difference & what it means for your nail health. A year later, my nails are my own & healthy!
To add to it, once you’re a regular, they give you your own box w/​your own tools. Very sanitary, their deluxe spa pedicure is worth every penny! About an hour long, 30 min massage, exfoliate, leg mask. And a glass of wine! :) The staff is amazing! Greet me by name every time I walk in, always sweet. Know when I’m feeling chatty & when I need quite time. Can’t say enough about this place!
