Sophia Nails

My mom and I have tried giving this place a couple tries we have been back just to see if we would like it better next time, and no. Tanya is very very rude to new customers or customers whom she doesn’t consider her close longtime friends. Their is an old Lady that works here that did my nails for my birthday and I can 100% guarantee it is the worst manicure I have ever received my whole life, I would’ve been better off doing my nails by myself at home, she didn’t even know how to do a French manicure and when she added the top coat it bubbled up ontop and immediately started to chip off, she then said she could do a design on my nails for an extra charge and I agreed, not trying to be rude or to be over dramatic but I am certain that a 5 year old child would have done a better job. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 star is because only the young nice ladies that are SOMETIMES there (due to that they are in college) are the only good and nice people their that know what they are doing, except Tanya, very very rude, if you want to pick a color she gives you a dirty look and tells you to hurry up, when she is doing your nails and you ask her to round them so that they will fit your nailbed and cuticles better she rudely replies that she knows what she is doing, it is just a bad place over all. I have tried giving it a chance with different employees here, and this is what my overall opinion on this nail salon is.

Finally found a nail shop that I like for every service. The staff is super nice and friendly which is something that you don’t find at nail salons these days. They do amazing nails, I am never displease with my nails or feet look when I leave. I haven’t had a chance to get my brows done there since I mostly do threading but they did my Mother’s brows and they look wonderful. They do have water bottles for guests but you have to ask for it which is no problem for me, but could be an issue for new guest. I think the bonus of this nail shop is the fact that after you go once or twice they make it a point to remember your name. You never wait long to be serviced either and the prices are affordable. Overall I love this shop!

Tanya the owner does my nails… I have to say I’m so glad I found this shop. I moved to Tampa 3 years ago and it took me just that long to find someone to do my nails right… sad but true… Tanya is amazing. not only is she fast, but she listens to what u want, and makes sure you’re happy… She makes you feel so welcome and comfortable. and just to put a cherry on top of the whole experience she’s funny too… what more could u ask for… oh one more thing… they’re open till 8… absolutely perfect… I will be a forever customer.

I am new to the area and was searching for a decent nail salon. I randomly selected this place because I was familiar with the area. Upon entering I was greeted and the staff was friendly. I got a mani/​pedi. I give this place 3 stars based on the friendliness and the cost which was $ 30. Sanitation practices were seriously questionable as I did not see any of the techs spray any type of disinfectant into the foot tubs they simply wiped with a sponge. None of the tools were removed from a sterilizer or new packaging. The tools simply sat in a blue liquid which one could only assume and hope it was disinfectant. The lady doing my feet did okay. She did hurt my big toe a bit removing skin but still an okay job. My mani was a bit sloppy.

I was looking for a place to get a fill and drove by this nail salon and decided to look it up on google and when I came upon the reviews I was going to change my mind but then decided to go in anyway and to my surprise I was very satisfied with the customer service and my nails look great!!! please don’t judge them according to the negative reviews there great and give you exactly what you ask for. Thanks

brought my fiancé here to get her nails done as I got my haircut at a local barber shop… She got a bad feeling when she walked in the door but I assured her place and good Unilocal reviews… They must have changed owners or something because she had a terrible experience and not hard to please so I know it was a terrible job… I do not recommend this nail salon

Tanya is the best… My first time here was with her and I will return to her!!! #bestpedicure

Unless Tanya is available, your nails may not be done how you like them. I’ve gone in 3 different times and was not happy with the end product.

I came here during my lunch break on a Monday and was seen immediately. The space is nice, not overcrowded and clean. I wouldn’t call it luxury but since the prices were so reasonable, I wouldn’t expect it to be. If you are looking for fast, efficient, no nonsense pedicures come here and you will be happy!

I have been a client of Tanya’s for 10 years. I’m a business professional and regularly receive compliments on my nails. Tanya is always on time for my appointments and her team does a fantastic job. Pedicures are the best!

Hidden gem! Everyone here is awesome, but Tanya is the absolute best. She’s fast and efficient. My nails look perfect every time. I’ve been coming to her here for over 2 years now. They really take care of the customers. I bring my 3 year old daughter from time to time, they all adore her and help keep her entertained. Pedicures are long, they take the time on the best parts. Would recommend to everyone!

Dude writing a review on a nails place? Yup… read on.
So, I’l begin by saying I have Army feet. They have also been called T-​Rex talons. Just like the aforementioned kind of the angry lizards, I apparently kick, claw, stab and draw blood with my T-​Rex talons in my sleep, so I’m a nice guy and get the talons put into check now and then.
There was no wait and they had no problems with me being a walk in. I also like the fact that you don’t get «the look» being a guy and walking into a nail place.
It appears they have water and what looks like tea in some cooler, but none was offered to me. I had a Monster in my hand anyways, so at least I wasn’t going to die of dehydration.
The foot service was relaxing, and I actually found myself dozing off at one point staring at their little hand-​waving becoming cats located on the counter; that is until they used that cheese grater thing on the bottom of my feet. I had to suppress the urge to giggle like a little girl and pull my foot out of the poor woman’s hands.
Bonus: the pedicure comes with a great foot and lower leg massage. That almost put me back to sleep.
Bonus x2: they had some incense burning in this shrine looking thing, and it smelled good. No one likes bad incense.

First time at this salon. What a great find! I need something very specific for a Halloween party. They were more than accommodating. My nails look perfect, exactly what I wanted. Salon was clean and staff was personable. Found my go to salon.

After bouncing around several places in Tampa, Sophia Nails has become our go to place for pedicures. We try to avoid peak times, and in three visits we have not had to wait yet to get a chair. Tons of color choices, and they have OPI and China Glaze if your a fan of those brands (which I am). Yes, they do the leg rub. I knew they must be good when on my first visit I sat next to big construction worker guy. He told me they eliminate his «knarly work boot feet». I almost hate to recommend them out of fear they will get too crowded, but seriously, I just want them to stick around. Tip well, because you can’t beat the price.

My favorite place very kind tanya is very sweet and she does a great job she talks to me a lot which makes me feel like a close friend all my Co workers go here for their nails

I’m very picky about nail salons, and have been searching for a good one in the area. This one was clean and the staff was pleasant. I watched the nail techs clean the foot baths between customers which is always a plus.
The only negative thing was they have all of their tools soaking in disinfectant but i didn’t not see an autoclave (my preference, like i said I’m picky). Other than that it was a good experience overall and i will be returning in the future.

This is my favorite nail salon. I call it my salon. Everyone I bring here feels the same way. The staff are very talented and friendly. This place is Top Shelf.

They did a great job on my mani/​pedi. I got gel nails and a regular pedicure. Was very happy at the fact that getting my gel nails was not painful (I’ve had a couple bad experiences), and they also took their time with me, even on a busier day than usual. I loved the fact that my regular pedicure came with a foot/​leg massage. I will defiantly be back!
