Floreana Nail Spa - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

5 /5 Amanda McCluney: Ive been to Floreana three times now for pedicures, and each time Ive seen Sandra - she is such a great technician! She takes her time and focuses on the details to shape my nails, remove cuticles, and get the polish just right. The salon is busy but relatively quiet considering the environment, and Im able to relax while Im there. I thoroughly enjoy the hour of "me" time.

1 /5 Skye Gould: I normally never write reviews but this experience has been so horrific, I have to. I went to get a dip manicure last night and it took over two hours and I left with my nails bleeding, hurting, and having cotton marks all over them. The technician was new, which I wasnt told, but became painfully obvious when the manicure was taking a crazy amount of time. I was patient (even though after the 1 hour that the service was supposed to take, it was still no where near done) and was waiting for her to finish. After messing up the techniques the entire time, she puts a clear coat on top that isnt gel leaving my nails WET. Ive never had a dip manicure in my life that leaves my nails wet and asked why didnt use gel clear coat. There was a woman there named Camila who also worked there and was sitting there the entire two hours on her computer and never once came over to check in and find out why it was taking so long. They were the only two employees there and I was legit the only costumer in there the entire time I was there. When I said something to Camila about my nails being wet, she said I didnt have to pay and that the technician could put a clear gel coat on top. The technician starts to take a wet cotton ball with remover over the wet top coat she already applied, leaving cotton marks all over my nails. At this point I was so frustrated and late I had to just leave like this. My nails were also bleeding and hurting from how bad she cut my cuticles. Before I left, Camila told me I could come in at 9am to get it fixed by someone better because I told her that was only time I had. She then called me after I left confirming 9am and I told her then that I only wanted the horrible dip removed and not redone. She sent me a text and email confirmation that it would be done at 9am (see the photos). This morning I go back at 9am and no one is there and the doors are locked. She proceeds to text me that they can only do 10am and that it was a mistake to say 9. So now I have to go pay someone else to fix them. Ive had dozens of dip manicures and never experienced anything like this before. I also wanted to avoid writing a review as well and gave them a chance to fix it this morning, but unfortunately that didnt happen.

1 /5 Gabriela Zurita: In this place I had one of the worst experiences doing my manicure and pedicure mainly because of how excessively expensive it was, I paid $120 for a regular pedicure and gel manicure, which I wouldnt mind if the service was excellent quality but I was sitting there for 2 and a half hours, the chairs were really uncomfortable, the technician cut me, the tips were too thick which I hate, two days ago I did my manicure here and its already peeling. Ah also they dont use plastic barriers which I didnt like at all. I usually dont leave bad reviews but if youre going to charge those amounts at least offer better service.

3 /5 Samantha Gilbert: I can’t say it was the worst or best experience. Being out of state and finding a random place to trust is difficult especially when it was last minute during my travels. But, my mani pedi came out great. I will say, that was a very lengthy three hour process. I had hard gel (acrylic-like) base and gel color on prior and paid for the removal add on per the booking request. When she was filing the layers off, she didn’t take them all the way off, and didn’t fill them in either. So only I can really notice that there’s a bump halfway up where the extra hard gel is underneath. I do have short arms so trying to keep my arms up in the air on the added extra table padding was difficult for a long period of time and it wasn’t comfortable. Was also very cold in the place, which is I guess a normal for Florida businesses. The pedicure was definitely different. Very sweet lady but I definitely got cut a couple times and still feel them afterwards. I did pay for gel color but not sure why I had to wait so long for them to dry. Staff is very nice. Atmosphere is very quaint and simple modern clean look. I would say it was very expensive. Less if you pay cash which was nice. Just overall mixed feelings. But they do look great. Hot tea offered was very kind.
