Angel Nail and Spa

Terrible! Uncomfortable chairs, poor massage, burned me with paraffin wax, but refused to remove it and got mad at me when I did it myself. I won’t be back!

I would like to state before anyone disagrees, that I have had many pedicures in my lifetime, and never, ever, have I had a bad day at any nail salon (Paris nails, or elegant nail and spa in Tampa) that was until I came here.
I came in with my younger sister on a slow Tuesday afternoon around 4, they weren’t busy and were able to see us right away. I had a gentleman named Ung, this is where the experience started to fail. I had on gel, and requested a polish change, instead of having my fingers soak in remover, like every other nail salon I’ve ever been to has done, he took my fingers one by one, placed a ripped cotton ball filled with remover on the nail, and wrapped each nail in tinfoil. This seemed bizarre to me, but I decided each person has their own methods, hopefully it will get better. I had also recently had a pedicure done, and the polish was intact but I asked to have my calluses removed, for $ 10. I then took my tinfoil wrapped fingers to the pedicure chair, where I practically fell in after Mr. Ung looked like he was lifting up the arm of the chair for me to get in, only to realize too late that the arm did not lift, and I fell into the water. I was then not met with a razor, or buffer but an actual cheese grater. (I work in the culinary industry, I know what a grater from IKEA looks like, and I have the same one in my kitchen.) He then proceeded to violently buff my feet causing me to have cracks when I got home, and did not even attempt to use lotion.
We then went back to the manicure table to remove the tinfoil from my fingers, I was being kind and joking that I had never seen this method before, but he was not amused and seemed to look at me like «I can’t wait til this person is gone» look. I said I wanted a french manicure, like the one I had previously. Word for word, what I had originally done but in plain white. I had a purple french gel manicure with a sparkly silver line behind the purple tip, and clear gel for the rest of the nail. I asked before we ever began the manicure if he had a «Sparkly silver, with fine sparkles so that they would show up, versus a larger grain sparkle in clear polish.» which he confirmed, twice. Once he removed my gel, he complained that my nails were too tin 14 times, I also asked for «extremely short nails» being that I work in the kitchen, I try to have no nail for food to get under, in the event of contamination. He complained about the shortness 12 times. He then cut my nails uneven, I asked for rounded off nails, he gave me square with the tips from the side cut off, so not rounded. He then «smoothed» out my nail grinding his tools into my cuticles, almost making them bleed. He did not remove any dead skin from the cuticles. Once applying the polish, he missed some spaces, which I had to point out. Finally we get to the silver. He applied a dull gray, with no sparkle at all. After one nail was done, I asked if he had a different «more vibrant» silver, he showed me one with giant chunks of glitter that didn’t even complete a line, it was a clear polish with 5 specs of glitter all over my nail and was inconsistent. I asked if he had another, frustrated he snapped at me «No, this is all we have, we do not have another, I show you on my nail, you no like, what do you want?!» I decide that at this point I’m just ready to leave, and begrudgingly go with the first choice. He realizes his tone, and apologizes, but by this point my entire experience is ruined. He attempts to save his tip at the end by applying lotion to my already manicured hand, but it’s no use. I forgot to mention earlier that the preliminaries for (i think switzerland vs USA) soccer tournament was on, and during the entire manicure he was constantly watching, which was irritating enough due to the horrendous experience. This was $ 38, just for the manicure. If you’re in Zephyrhills I would suggest Paris Nails, unfortunately their best manicurist Shirley is no longer with them. If you’re willing to make a drive go to Elegant Nails and Spa, get Kim for a manicure and Tina for a pedicure. They take time and care into each guest, and never rush, even at the end of the day, on multiple times they have stayed an hour after closing to make sure I get the full experience and relax.
All in all, save your money and your time from an awful manicure that you’ll end up taking off the next day.

I have had both good and bad experiences at Angel Nail and Spa.
For pedicures, they’re great. There is a hot paraffin wax treatment and leg massage included and for the most part the end product is flawless. Of course, the best part is the massage chair! The prices are average for these services and the tools are cleaned between each use.
On the other hand, I’ve had manicures here that haven’t lasted more than a day. I think it all depends on the nail technician that you have. That being said, I would recommend this place for pedicures but not for manicures.

First time visitor will become a repeat customer. Howie did a great job on my nails. Very friendly & clean atmosphere.

I’m not sure what happened with the previous review but I’ve been coming here for 3 years now and won’t go anywhere else. Ask for Kim she is seriously the best and very sweet! If she’s busy I will wait for her or call ahead if I can. I have not seen any of the nail techs be rude to anyone they are all nice to the customers and they are very reasonable priced. I have gotten many manicures/​pedicures here, gels/​shellac/​eyebrow wax/​designs etc not once have I had a problem.

This is by far the worst nail salon around!!! I just got my gel nails done x 4 days ago and they are already peeling up… while I was there the manicurist cut my cuticles even though I told her they were just cut. She cut them anyways and made my nail beds bleed. She was advising me not to peel off my gel polish as I had done in the past but proceeded to peel my gel polish off herself because it was taking to long to melt off. I will never go back to this place. I’ve had sooo much better!!!

The nails techs do a great job and are very friendly. However, I didn’t give them five stars because sometimes I feel like the start my pedi or mani then keep me waiting longer than I should during different steps.
