Garden Avenue Boutique - A Nail Salon - Clearwater (FL)

1 /5 Marie-Elise Barton: Worst manicure Ive ever had. No cuticle work, my nails still have rough edges from the haphazard filing, they were not shaped or cut to uniformity. The gel wasnt set properly so every nail on my left hand is smudged. The pedicure was really not much better, I even had to ask for her to clean under my nails and to buff the nail bed. The polish selection is woefully inadequate. This was a total waste of time and money.

3 /5 Amber Krok: SUPER nice staff. Very friendly.. wish I could give 5 stars, but the quality of work just isn’t there unfortunately :( I used a Groupon when I went in for a mani/pedi and saw the nail salon had good reviews so I gave it a try. Just wasn’t what I was expecting for the price I paid.. figured I’d leave a pic with the review for others to see what I mean. I think with more experienced technicians this place would be great! The girl that did my nails was SO nice.. just more practice might be needed. Hope to go back in the future and maybe have my nails done a bit better.

5 /5 Jade Coleman: I love the spa-like experience you get here! It is very personal, the staff are professional and the place is super clean. They use products with less chemicals and more natural so less wear on my nails and less smell. I got a mani-pedi on Mother’s and it was divine! They were running a special and serving yummy treats and drinks. On a normal basis they have water and coffee available. I LOVE the selection of colors. They have their own line of polish they make in-house and I was told it will be for sale soon (they just opened recently). The gels they use are the less harmful gels, free of the harshest chemicals. I will definitely be coming back!

1 /5 Celine Flore: I went to get a manicure & pedicure the day before a special day this weekend as a treat to myself. Im glad I used a Groupon because if I paid full price, Id be even more LIVID, even though I still ended up paying over $55 for this horrible result. While the ladies were nice, this terrible mani/pedi doesnt make up for anything. Upon first arrival, the place looked nice and inviting, and then they were speaking poorly about the other staff member, which was pretty off-putting. This whole experience and outcome reminded me why I dont get my nails done at a salon anymore. The quality of work is just not there. The polish was put on so thick it never dried, I went to bed 13 hours later, and my toe nail polish was GONE on one of my toes by the time I woke up. The finger nails never dried and were full of bubbles, which were all ruined before I even got home 15 minutes away. I had no time Saturday to go back to get it "fixed," not like it would have made a difference & now on Sunday night ive already removed the polish. I can see why they were not busy at 2 pm on a Friday. Also, they say their products and polish are organic and non toxic, meanwhile they had nail polishes that are HIGHLY toxic and definitely not organic, false advertising right there. Cute place, but it could be so much better if they really took the time to work on their craft.

1 /5 Sara Diamond: I went here after years ,with new owners I thought it would be better ! But not this time!
