Reviews of Channelside Nail Salon

steph b

This salon is very nice and well cared for. Every time I’ve been there the owners beautiful smiling face is around helping out and cleaning. My sister and I called around a few places due to a time crunch before we arrived to see who could get us in and of course, Channelside nails took great care of us. The owner told us to come right over and set us up in their relaxing & clean massage chairs. My sis had a workout to be at 6:30 so they made she was well pampered and on her way with time to spare. They’re really a great salon! I’m a tough critic but this one is amazing.

Ashley Sims

Definitely love this place,if you are in Tampa in need those nails to laid, Go to Channelside Nail Salon! They always have time and they are there to do service You. Nice area as well. Parking is ok it 3 US dollars if you use the garage, still trying to figure out most convenient way to access the establishment but for the most part they have decent prices for the services they provide

Amy Nguyen

Love this salon!! It’s quick, convenient, clean, and everyone here is really good. I had my manicure done by Sandra. 10/10 recommend her. She’s the owner of the salon and is fantastic at what she does. Highly recommend this place!

Mia Aguilar

I came in with two broken nails. They look brand new and better than ever! Of all the salons I’ve been to, the service was amazing! Best work I’ve ever seen and have a very polished look.

Janai Cunningham

Love coming here! The owner is so sweet. I finally found my nail lady! Her attention to detail is top notch and my nails last a loonngggg time. I get acrylic fill in with gel polish and their pricing is average for Tampa.

Healing Hands

I am very pleased with my first appointment. The service was super fast. I booked for dip/manicure and pedicure w/ gel polish. I received a manicure and pedicure at the same time which is genius; instead of spending 2 hours, I only spent 1 hour. Well worth the money and your time. 👌😀 …

Aliana Mestey

I visited today for the first time and had an absolutely wonderful experience. I normally have very brittle and short nails so the owner suggested the new hybrid gel nails and I’ve never had such beautiful acrylics. I was also in a bit of a rush so they did my full set and pedicure at the same time which was so nice! I will definitely be back.

Amanda Fornal

We are visiting from out of town before we leave for our cruise 🚢 and they were able to accommodate my daughter and I last minute! We got gel pedicure and a special kind of nails 💅🏽 that looks like a full set but better for your nails! We loved them and had a wonderful time! Highly recommended! …

Rebecca Chesbrough

The customer service is outstanding each time I visit. I've gone to other nail salons however they have not shown me the spectacular treatment ChannelSide Nail Salon does. I do pamper days one or two times out of the month and each time is so wonderful. Try them out you wont regret it what so ever.

Megan Ford

Extremely happy with my experience with hybrid gel nails and will definitely be back. Great attention to detail to make sure all of my cuticles were trimmed prior to painting and curing.

Rissy Blessed

Great experience overall! Very accommodating. I told her the water was not hot enough she emptied the water and made it hotter. The lady next to me was doing work on her laptop and they offered her a wooden stand or something to rest her laptop on so that it was at eye level. I thought that was awesome. My ingrowns were removed carefully and efficiently and she even treated them after and was sure to pull the skin back while polishing to assure it did not get inside. That was greatly appreciated because no one has done that thus far. It’s the little things for me lol. The finished product was beautiful. No lumps in the polish and a nice clean finish. Aesthetically, the place is beautiful and a relaxing environment. They were courteous and great customer service over the phone and in person and that goes a long way for me! If you’re lucky enough you’ll even get a chance to see their adorable Pomsky!🥰

Gemma Gulati

Got a pedicure here with regular polish and it’s lasted so long! Staff friendly . Place was very clean. Convenient to park in the garage right next to it, free parking for the first 2 hours

Dorothy Garza

It was a wonderful experience. Mei was engaging and we hit off right away. I made her laugh. Her mom is an awesome entrepreneur. I will be going back

Layah Yasharahla

It is in a very nice part of town . My friend and I are African American and very large , we were scared they would be rude . But they were super nice and very accommodating . I got a full set pink and white on my feet and nails . Diamond was perfect and fast , and Jamie was very good as well . I would recommend this place , and I will be back !

Michael Murray

Highly recommend! Not only do they SLAYYY any nail art or trends you could want, they are fast and my nails last longer than most of my relationships 😂😂 …

Michele Wirth

I've been going to Channelside Nails for the past 5 years, ever since I moved downtown. They do a fabulous job, have a great selection of options & everyone is friendly & professional. Sondra is an expert with dip!

Tatiana Lapina

I absolutely love this place! The people are so sweet, they do a great job and they are very fast.

Briana Mendez

they took their time to give me one of the best manicures i've had in a while - then even fixed my nail for free when it broke after two days

Sail Bee

It was my first time to get Magnetic Nails done over my regular Acrylic base. Their staff are very sweet and knowledgeable about their techniques as well as English. I strongly recommend here to my friends and I would come back soon!!!

Tonya Ware

Lovely place to go and get your nails, toes, waxing, & eyelash extensions! I gave them a 3⭐ because the man that was doing my nails didn't seem to understand what I wanted, pink & white! Of course I asked how much they were before I had them done, the lady said 45, nope it's 65! Of course it was my fault that the price was so high, per the business! Excuses, you got tips.....well I asked for pink and white! Oh and I got a separation line between the pink and white! I'm sorry please explain what's all extra. That's just to name a few! Just be blunt as to what you want and the price! Then you shouldn't have any problems. My eyelashes look beautiful and so does my eyebrows! If she could've done my nails too then I'm sure that I would be happier!

Eulalia Lowe

Did less for more $$. Than any place I’ve ever been to. Plus my “shellac” nail polish started coming off in 2 days. The whole thing was very disappointing.

ayden sparks

Gel Manicure was done quickly, efficiently, and beautifully. I got a deluxe gel pedicure as well and I could not recommend a service more!!! Shins are feeling smooth and hydrated, while the bottoms of my feet are just as smooth. Perfection is the standard here !! Love this place :)

Heather Vanderford

Been coming over 2 years, my nails always look amazing and last for weeks !!!

Gabby Mcneil

My favorite salon! My boyfriend and I come get our nails done together it’s always fantastic! Everyone is so friendly, and I honestly think I got the best pedicure of my entire life here. 12/10 would recommend!!!

Mrs. Katherine Beaumonte

Took my daughter in law for a treat. The faculty she received was EXTRAORDINARY! My fill with gel polish and pedi were AMAZING. A little more pricey than the local nail shop but worth it. REALLY nice, good product, professional.

Nicole Lusk

Great experience at this nail salon! They are super friendly and took extra time to make sure the special design nails I chose turned out great. I got a mani pedi gel on both.

G Michael

The women are thorough, efficient, and talented at what they do! I’ve always had a great experience. Interior is clean as well.

Amber Batten

I love coming here. It’s right below my apartment. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Victoria and the younger man give great pedicures. Julie is very precise with her nail work. I’m always happy everytime I leave.

Jeanne- Marie Branche

I absolutely LOVE coming here. The service and the staff is always so so sweet and engaging. It makes me feel at home compared to other salons. The service is quick and well-done and not too pricey like others in Tampa. I have definitely gone around to try to find my favorite nail salon near downtown Tampa and this one is at the top of my list! I enjoy going here and the quality experiences I always have!!

Mackenzie Evans

I have been here three times now and I am pretty unimpressed. My regular polish pedicures when I paint them at home or get them done elsewhere normally last just like gel on me, but they were chipped within a week or two. I opted for gel this time to make them last longer and it was $18 more, seems like way too much. I also got the basic pedicure which should have included more than a 20 second foot/calf massage that I got. My dip nails 2/3 times now have not resembled the sample color that I chose even remotely. I would NEVER choose as pink of a color that my nails turned out. When I compared to the sample I chose afterwards, I was told by the owner “that’s why we show you it painted on an acrylic nail first, because over time the colors on the sample fade.” I didn’t pay attention because I assumed the color would represent the color I chose, as it should, or it should be removed as a sample. They were not willing to charge me less and I did not have the time to have them redone. I also have one nail that is much shorter than the rest that was NOT that short before lol, and hanging cuticles everywhere. Overall, the majority of the staff lacks communication and meticulous nail care. Save your money and frustration and avoid this place that seems way too nice for the services they provide. :)

Brittany W

Always the best service! They find a way to fit you in no matter how busy. The nail techs are all so nice and the receptionist is very helpful. I love going here once a month. My gel manicure always lasts 3-4 weeks.

Larissa Long

I just moved to Florida from Chicago and I’ve never had such a beautiful set of nails done as I received at Channelside! The entire staff was super friendly, the clientele was eclectic, and the price was perfectly appropriate. I live in St. Pete but will be driving up to Tampa every two weeks from now on because I loved this nail salon so much!

Dara Hoffman

Wednesday night was my second time visiting this salon. I made an appointment for a gel pedicure and a dip manicure. Victoria did an outstanding job on my pedicure. I am also very happy with my dip set, however, have realized that some nail lengths on each hand are not the same. For instance, my thumb nails are different lengths. My biggest suggestion would be to make an appointment for this salon! They were extremely busy and had to turn away multiple walk-in customers during my appointment.

Shanna Click

When I say it’s literally been YEARS since I have had someone care about getting the shape right on my nails (coffin), it’s literally been YEARS. Jenny did my nails yesterday and took the time and care every technician should take to make sure that all of my nails were an even length and an excellent shape. Couldn’t be happier with my service. I am new to the area and she will be my regular nail technician. I know, I know, it’s just nails. But seriously... finding someone who truly cares about their work is hard to find without spending an arm and a leg. I’ve been to probably 6 different salons in the St Pete/Tampa area and I have been displeased with my service every single time either because the price was so astronomical along with a “meh” service or the service was just down right awful with a wonky shape to my nails. I remember specifically going to 2 salons in downtown St Pete- one was Le Nail where I spent 150 on two pedicures that were NOT worth the price and the other was Paint Nail Bar where my entire full set fell off in less than a week (maybe it’s because they only do “natural” nails and don’t use electric files, idk. But she told me they’d last 3 weeks. What a joke). Thank you Jenny again for doing an excellent job on my nails. I’m so incredibly pleased if I haven’t mentioned it a bunch of times in this review already. Be back in 2 weeks!

Suz C

Minh did my nails today and she was amazing. I will be definitely be coming back to her. I’m very picky about my nails and this was the first time in a long time that they look absolutely perfect.

Deanna

After talking with the owner she helped me and fixed my nails to make them look great! Thank you for listening to your customers. I will be back for sure! Update - owner always takes care of her customers and the staff is always very friendly and efficient. Love coming here!

tyler

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, my girlfriend and I come every two weeks (to match each other) and we love every single nail tech. Victoria specifically does phenomenal work, and the owner is always incredibly kind :)

Elizabeth Perez

I was supposed to go to this particular lady but she was super busy. Instead I was placed with Diamond and she was very sweet and caring. She listened to me and didn’t criticize me on my style. Definitely recommend her. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because they weren’t on time.

Hannah Scherr

Came here on a whim with a friend, they were able to get us both in with short notice. A few other folks were there when we arrived but we were helped and seated right away. The whole place was clean and everyone was really nice. I went for the $45 pedi option that came with the stone massage and it was SO NICE! My feet and calves felt so nice and relaxed and the polish was applied perfectly. Very satisfied and will happily return

Ashlee LeCompte

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I started coming here because it was convenient and within walking distance. I continued coming here because they do a PHENOMENAL job. I have to keep up with my manicures because I keep my nails long and they require regular attention; that said, I am very very picky with how they are cared for. Genuinely 100% I have never received a better, more attentive and detailed manicure than with Lily. I refuse to go anywhere else. I am moving out of Channelside and will still drive back biweekly for my manicures. This place is professional and kind, and they take their time with all of their appointments (my manicures take like 75 minutes, it’s amazing) Typically nail salons rush you in and out so they can get more people in the chairs, and it results in sloppy work that chips and needs to be redone in a week. Not here! In November, Lily did a shellac that lasted FOUR WEEKS, no chips, no peel, perfect looking with just nail outgrowth as proof of how long it had been. Best part? They charge very average prices for their services. Bottom line: best nail salon in Tampa. Don’t waste time or money going anywhere else.

Nicole D

They did a great job, the coats were clean with no bios or imperfections. And it’s been 3 weeks and neither my gel manicure nor pedicure has chipped.

Loved my dip nails and design done by Sonda! She is skilled!!!

Kerri DaSilva

I absolutely love Sonda and Julie! They do a great job with my dip powder nails. Sonda is the owner and is so accommodating. Her shop has more colors than any nail salon I’ve ever seen before - including glitters, glow in the dark, and seasonal options... and she keeps buying more!! It’s incredible how many colors there are. It might take you a few minutes to pick one LOL. But the selection is absolutely amazing. I’ve seen other people get complex nail designs like marble, characters and themes. All of them came out impeccable. The salon is super clean and well maintained.

Raquel Isalguez

I enjoy getting my nails done here. I’m local to the area and gave this salon a chance as a walk in, good chance to take since I always keep coming back

Suzanne L

Been going here for years and they always do a great job. Attention to detail & customer satisfaction. I love my cats eye gel nail color that I just got today. . . had it done right before NYE too & got lots of compliments on it. Lasted just under 3 weeks.

Juliet Davis

Ask for "Diamond" (she's from Cuba). She gave me the most meticulous manicure and dip of my life. I am super picky and have stormed out if many nail salons in my life. But Diamind at Channelside really cares about the quality of her work. First, she soaked off my old dip without any wear or tear to my nails (it slid right off). When she re-did them, she sculpted them delicately with a thin shell (not thick--they look totally natural, but very sturdy)--again, without ANY DAMAGE or drilling to my nails. Then she did a meticulous polish job. The manicure was also flawless, trimming the cuticles. Many other nail techs do a quick, "okay" job or poor job, but she was outstanding. And then she gave me a perfect brow wax.

Alex Vendetti

I've had my nails done twice here on my lunch break from work. The first time I went I had an older lady do my shellac manicure and it was PERFECT! She took her time and really cleaned them up well. The second time, I had my hands and feet done at the same time. The girl doing my pedicure was on a FaceTime call for half of my service which I found very unprofessional. I was extremely uncomfortable once she brought the nippers out and continued her conversation because I didn't feel like her full attention was there. I will probably go back in the future but will request someone else to do my services.

Amanda Nedervelt

This is the only place in Tampa Bay I go to my nails done. I initially started going because of the convenience of a nail salon right in Grand Central. However, I have continued to go because the quality of services offered is second to none. The salon is very clean and comfortable. The owner (Shonda) is always there to greet customers and get last minute appointments or walk-ins serviced as soon as possible. When I’m short on time they can do my gel mani and gel pedi simultaneously, which saves me tremendous amounts of time and doesn’t compromise the quality of the mani or pedi at all- a service I have not encountered at other salons. They use quality products, the lacquers never appear old, and they always have the newest OPI colors (in addition to several other brands) available to choose from. The staff is friendly and everyone there is exceptional at what they do. No matter who does my mani or pedi - I know my nails are going to look exactly how I want them to when I leave. I prefer the SNS dip manicure and I truly can say that every time my manicure is flawless and still looks fresh weeks later. I no longer live in Grand Central but now make a 45 min commute to Channelside Nails for all my mani/pedi needs because the quality of the services they provide simply cannot be found elsewhere.

Lara Foster

The salon is clean. The staff is always professional, skilled and very friendly! It is the best nail salon I’ve found since moving to Tampa two and half years ago!

Kelly Brooks

Austin did a wonderful job on my gel Pedicure and Jenny did a Lovely job on my gel Manicure, I highly recommend both Austin and Jenny 🙂🙂🙂 Kelly Foster

Stephen Geary

Julie is AMAZING!!!! I enjoy seeing her every month. Everyone very friendly . Thank you for making my feet perfect !!!

Linsey Nicole

Very clean inside and very sweet employees. The worst part was parking and finding the place. And I hated the color... So I ended up paying $140 for a dipp and a gel pedicure... Which is ridiculous but even when I told the woman I did not like the color , she just continued to upsell her product. I doubt I will go back.

Marina D

I love this salon!!! Excellent customer service and my nails have never looked better!!! Highly recommend! Sonda is fantastic!

Clay Walkup

Friendly and very clean. Convenient location. I will return.

Caroline Annis

Best shellac manicure I have EVER received. Lele is 5 stars. Salon is clean, chic and has a great selection of colors. I was in an out in 45 minutes. Definitely my go to nail salon.

Just Nail’Z

Literally just left this salon as a walk-in and what an AWESOME experience!!! Gel polish change with designs done by Nina! She did such a fab job and is such a sweetheart! Can’t wait to see her next year on my vacation!!! I will BE BACK!!!!

Jackie Dos Santos

Channelside Nail Salon is the best - very efficient, fast and everyone is so sweet. Minh personally does my pedi and mani - she is so awesome and so fun to talk to. Definitely recommend this nail salon if you're in the Channelside/Downtown Tampa area!!! Cherry on top is the price is not outrageous. :)

Kelly Sutton

They were wonderful! Service was great and it was top notch

Cassandra Edwards

Was visiting in town for a big test and decided to stop in for a quick pedi to relax despite all the negative reviews. My friend and I were both very pleased and felt the staff was nice and professional. We didn’t feel rushed and brushed off. The place isn’t the nicest or most relaxing ambiance but for a last minute pedi, I give 5 stars! It met my expectations and I’m satisfied.

Marisha Loren

Wonderful service, great salon. Very friendly & go out of their way to ensure beautiful nails!!

Maureen V

The staff was friendly and spent time giving a very relaxing pedicure. Best pedicure ever. Will definitely go back.

Lauren Scott

Called ahead for a pedicure and full set and after 2 hours I walked out with only a basic pedicure. They were slow and I guess did not have enough people working to deal with all the clients they had. My pedicure was okay, my feet weren’t scrubbed fully so I have to do that myself at home.

Tonia B

I love the atmosphere, the service, the cleanliness, and the prices. Minh was my technician and she is wonderfully skilled and delightful to chat with.

Melissa Andrade

I loved the service! The massage for the pedicure was incredible and so relaxing. I did my manicure with Jenny and she’s super sweet!

Heather Ortiz

Service was excellent. Pedicures turned out amazing. Corduroy the dog was the icing on the cake and did a few tricks for us with a water bottle.

Tyler de

I love this place, I'm always satisfied with my acrylics and they have the best most relaxing pedicures. I highly recommend this salon. While they are a touch more expensive it's so worth it!!!!!

Charles Prior

Came in a half hour before closing and they fit in myself and two others with me. Two first timers and made us feel very comfortable. Very reasonably priced. Excellent experience. If I lived in town, I’d become a regular.

Linda Waller

I had such a wonderful ecperience here. Everyone was so nice and acommendating. I was seated right away and offered water or soda and wine. my nails came out wonderful and I will surely be coming back again

Candy Holmes

I truly enjoy coming here. They offer great service and beautiful colors.

Paul Sullivan

Excellent service!! I was a walkin and had the luck to receive care without a wait. The staff were professional and friendly. Very pleased with the Pedicure and Eyebrow wax.

Erin Lewellin

Made an appointment last minute, my pedicure was AMAZING and I got the best eyebrow wax I’ve ever had, pricing was great too! I will be back!

Lauren Pettine

It was a little dirty, and they didn’t have a good appointment method, but they did some beautiful nails for me that I loved and they were friendly and professional.

Brett Irene W

I literally came in with spray paint on my nails - thanks for the awesome service.

Samantha Backey

Lisa was excellent! She took great care of us and was extremely nice. Would definitely revisit her before our next cruise!

Sabrina Valli

Great service. Spent a lot of time on my pedicure which looked great. I will definitely be coming back.

Sam

Staff was friendly and professional! I got gel and my nails look amazing!

Mark Evans

Thank you Lisa for the awesome pedicure before my cruise. You started it off great! We will definitely be back.

Ginger Valenti

The salon was friendly and they did a great job. My daughter and I both enjoyed our visit there.

Zuleika Vargas

I got a facial that included so much more . It was relaxing and very thorough 😌 at first I thought it was just a basic facial but she took her time I left feeling surprised and very satisfied . …

Jax Robertson

Sadly not as nice a salon as I'd hoped. Manicure was fine. It did seem like the employees didn't get along very well.

Maggie Algarin

Very friendly staff. Very relaxing atmosphere. They did a great job on my pedicure!

Meghan McHugh

Great service, fast and great work 🤩 …

Kelly Tanner

Love this place! Everyone is so nice and does a great job. Nina is awesome. While I was here, there was a VERY obnoxious and rude customer. I was shocked at how graciously they handled the situation.

kari sorber

This has been the most AMAZING pedicure I’ve EVER HAD!!!

Ashley Cleveland

Austin was amazing with my pedicure. Best I've had in Tampa

KellyAnn Logan

Best nail salon in Tampa. I've been a customer since they opened, would never trust anyone but Shonda with my nails. Love it!

Saphire Lewis

Omfg I had the absolute best time. It was my first time getting a pedicure and everything was 🤧🤧😭😭 I have to go sell my soul now …

Cheryl C

Lovely! I felt like a VIP!

jessica addington

Amazing service and attention to detail. Love this place and everyone is super professional and extremely helpful!

Francesca Maria

Stopped in last minute and they were able to take two of us right away. The place is very clean and the staff are super friendly and thorough. This would be my go to place if I were local.
