Venetian Nail Spa (Bal Harbour Square) - Fort Lauderdale (FL)

5 /5 Kim: Theresa did a thorough job with good detail and care. Very nice and detailed. I would definitely recommend her. I also like that I didn’t have to spend 3 hours at the salon for a mani/pedi.

1 /5 Christine Leverett: I’ve had some pretty great experiences at this salon and have been a returning customer for many years. However I just went to get my nails done just now and had such a bad experience that I wanted to write a review. I went in for a manicure and asked which would last longer gel or dip. They advised dip and so that is the service I selected. When the manicurist started she didn’t touch up my nails except to cut them (very very short, despite growing my nails out so they would be longer). Absolutely no manicure, just polish. It was not a relaxing or enjoyable experience. When I asked at the end I could tell they were looking at my nails and were very confused about how to respond. I’ve had dip done before. I’ve had gel done before. There is ALWAYS a manicure process in addition to paint. No attempt was made to correct this, nothing but shocked faces. They look horrible, I’m so disappointed and Will not be returning.

5 /5 Gia Baillie: I had my first appointment at Venetian Bal Harbor Square with Erik and I couldnt be happier with how my nails turned out! He was excellent and was very attentive to detail. This is one of the best manicures Ive had in a long time- bubble bath dip. I will be back!

1 /5 Andy: Just left this place. Came here to get my gel manicure removed. HOW HARD is it to do a good job?? Apparently VERY hard for Lisa. You can clearly see residue all around the perimeter of my nails. She sucks!

1 /5 Kellyn Habinowski: I went for the first time the other day and the experience was so uncomfortable. I called for a gel x set AND soak off. The women at the front desk was so sweet and friendly. She welcomed me right away and checked me in. I picked my color and waited for someone who was capable of doing gel x which was fine by me. Except for the fact that the man actually had no idea what he was doing. Or just didn’t care. He did not use any acetone to remove my nails!!! At all!!! He used a nail tip and pryed them off one by one. Except they were all on good so he also had to drill and use clippers and pick off piece by piece. I couldn’t believe it tbh. It was so unnecessary and uncomfortable. It didn’t save any time at all. He also cut my cuticle and drilled a spot so far down in my thumb he had to use hard gel and manually fill it on top of the gel x. I was wincing the whole time and he picked up on it and asked if he was hurting me. He just laughed at my response. You can tell he has never gotten his nails done and has no empathy. I don’t know why I got this treatment as other nail techs seemed to be doing proper procedures around me. This was a very different experience that I’ve had at other salons with the same service. Why are you allowing your nail techs to treat customers this badly and not upholding standards? I have heard good experiences from friends about this salon but I won’t go back after this. Either have some pride in your work or don’t take a client. I’m scared to see what my nails look like when I have these removed :(
