Sanaca Nail

This place is so good. Usually busy but the wait isn’t too long. The crunch French toast are really good. Definitely recommend this place.

Closed but everywhere else says they’re open. So disappointed that we took a taxi 5 miles to a closed sign.

One of the best mani/​pedi experiences I’ve had. Love it. Kim and staff are very detail oriented and personable. I will be going back for sure.

Small establishment. Walked in without an appointment and was tended to immediately. The owner, Kim, catered to every need water, temperature, tea, you name it. She knows all her customers by name. One even brought her a gift. She makes the experience amigable and personable. The manicure was inexpensive and good quality. At the end she gave me a complimentary Holiday gift of a nail file and a buffing block wrapped in a cute holiday themed bag. I walked out of there knowing I had found my go-​to nail salon.

This is a GEM. Probably one of the best mani/​pedis that i have had in a while. Massage and general cleaning up/​shaping and polish really couldn’t have been better. Kim is cool. Super chatty and fun. We had a great time. And my nails are fab.

Kim and her staff are great. They offer you water and are very attentive to your needs. I highly recommend doing your nails with Kim but the other ladies that work there do not do a very good job. For the amount you pay, (35 for pedi, 25 for gel nail color) you would expect better quality. Also, call to make an appointment and they only accept cash or checks.

Hands down best nail shop in Tampa!!! Kim and her crew are awesome to hang out with, do the best manicure & pedicure and are meticulous with cleanliness. They are very precise when handling you and you aren’t stressing that they will nick you like I have experienced at other salons around town. The mani/​pedi lasts a long time too. I will only go here. Even though they do take walk-​ins, I usually call to make an appointment. Yes, they only take cash or check, but I’m fine with that :).

I went to Sanaca two times. The pedicures are pretty decent. The first time I went I made an appointment. The second time that I went, due to early release at work, I did a walk-​in. I was reprimanded for not calling and forced to decide between a pedicure or a fill-​in in the most condescending manner.
Mainly, my biggest concern was skill. I have been getting my nails done for over 20 years, so I am no rookie at upkeep. I had 2 massive fungi when another nail technician (while home for holidays) went to remove my polish, she was appalled at the negligence.
Also, they only do cash, which is a pain sometimes. Also, it is THE smallest parking lot in the world– small by space size, not the lot itself. I almost had to crawl in through my hatch bc of the cars parked next to me. I am done.

I recently stopped into Sanaca Nail for the first time for a quick pedicure and I was pleasantly surprised by how great it was. I had the express pedicure for $ 35 and it took a little under 45 minutes.
Kim was very nice and welcoming. She has lots of drinks and treats around. I especially enjoyed the cupcake from the Cupcake Spot!
The space is small and somewhat cluttered, but I was very comfortable and had a great pedicure. The foot massage was better than most!
They have lots of regulars, but walk-​ins are also welcome. They do not accept credit cards though, so be sure to bring cash or check.
