Modern Nails — Local services in Oldsmar

I went here to treat myself after being stressed for a while. 1st time here so when I booked my appointment I asked if they can do a certain design/style nail and the response "oh, we can do everything here". No, no they cannot.

I got there and was seated just a couple minutes after my appointment was scheduled. I opted for the orange pedicure which felt amazing and a gel single color polish came out nice. The chair is a full body massager which is great, when you figure it out.

They have plexi glass/plastic in-between you and the tech, they use masks and of course gloves. I watched them sanitize the chairs and tables as well so it seemed safe. Not to mention they sat people apart from one another.

I explained to the tech, using a photo and picking out the colors of what I wanted. I did tell her I prefer gel but if another method needed to be used to get the effect I wanted, that'd be fine too. Ended up getting a dip and nowhere near the colors I asked.

My tech was nice and I think somewhat inexperienced since she needed to consult a couple different people a couple times. She tried to give me glitter on my nails which I did not want so I asked her to remove it. And ended up with just a simple ambre french nail. (I wanted an ambre but with 2 fall-like colors).

It was fine, I was already there for 1hr 15min and it looked nice. I wasn't a big fan on the conversation being had in the shop (COVID-19 related) because I'm there to escape/relax/recharge and techs are giving their opinions on how they feel about the current situation.

Here I am 1 week after getting it done and they are chipping like crazy. I'm not doing anything strenuous or out of the ordinary - they should be lasting much longer.

*EDIT: Its been just shy of two weeks and over the last few days my gel nail polish from my pedicure is coming off with no effort on my part. Every pedicure I've ever had has NEVER come off...

On Sunday I went in looking for a liquid gel full set. The wait was not long and I was helped, but during the process the woman did it wrong. She didn’t cut back cuticles or lay down a base layer/primer for the gel nails. Now two days later they are lifting up. She ground down my nails very thin as if she was applying acrylic and then put the gel on. While she was setting the gel on I continually asked her to reach the edges of my nails but she did not and ended up filing part of the edges of my natural nails inward to match the width of the gel nails. I asked for square nails and essentially have polygon nails. This made my gel nails look like little teeth sitting on top of my real nail, which you can see my real nail on both sides of the gel nail. When I pointed out that some of the shapes were inconsistent from the real nail she reapplied extra gel but the edges ended up so gagged they caught on the fabric of my clothing and have chipped/broken off now. Not to mention since she ground my nails down so thin I had to purchase a nail restore kit for the exposed nails. The thickness of each nail is inconsistent as well as the length. This is beyond the worst nail service I’ve ever gotten, and not to mention a complete rip off. They changed $65 for the gel nails and an additional $10 to add glitter to my thumb and ring finger nails. I wouldn’t be upset with the price if the quality matched it, but it simply doesn’t. At all. Not even close. When I paid for the service she stared at me for an uncomfortable several seconds to ensure she would receive a tip. I’m beyond livid with...

I’ve been to a few nail salons since moving to Florida and usually stay loyal… However, I was finding that my nails were cracking and lifting and breaking more often so I looked at nail salons near me and noticed that this salon had excellent Google reviews. They also had an Instagram page and I saw all the beautiful nails that they were creating, I looked them up online and first off I have to say I love that I was able to book my appointment online and I have to call I noticed you can pick a time and you can pick a specific nail tech if that’s what you like and then right after I got a confirmation via text about my appointment. I walked in and was greeted very energetically. It was a nice serene, very clean environment and they sanitize their equipment which I have to say I haven’t seen a lot lately but most of all I had the owner Mia do my nails and she did the most amazing job I have ever had done on my nails! I’ve always envisioned what I wanted, but it never came to fruition until today! I had a whole new set put on and Mia was kind enough to give me ideas on what I could do with my nails and I let her vision run and I’m so glad I did because they are so beautiful!!!! Highly highly recommend… Nothing was rushed, and the environment of everybody else getting their nails done was...
