    Daughter and I went to get Gel nails and the girls there absolutely SLAYED them 😁 we were both beyond happy with the results! They even stayed open later just to finish our nails and still took their time to make sure they looked beautiful, instead of rushing through to try to get out! I recommend this place for all! Again very happy! 😄

    The shop is immaculately clean, and the staff is lovely. Even in searching for a Christmas red color, “Bang” took some little nail tips and tried different reds on them so I could see exactly which one I wanted.She and her husband Tom are absolutely wonderful and most of all she does a fantastic job with my nails – acrylic fill. PlusI feel like I’m a valued customer here. I tried several nail shops in this area and this is the one I will be staying with.

    Absolutely love this place! Came here to get both a manicure and pedicure for prom and it did not disappoint!! Tom did my manicure (acrylic tip + gel) and Christian did my pedicure (French/gel). I also got my eyebrows waxed and everything was phenomenal! Overall environment was very welcoming and warm too. Definitely recommend going to Essence because I know I will be back!

    Love these guys!!! Tom has been doing my acrylics for over 15 yrs. Im very rough on my nails and have never had a problem when he takes care of them. The entire staff is super friendly. Bang & Hanna do a great job when Tom is not available. Grandma gives the best Pedicure ever!!

    I have had false nails for 40 yrs. Of all of the salons I have been to “Essence Nails & Spa” is my all time favorite. The owners are the SWEETEST & TALENTED as well as the other techs I have met. THANK YOU FOR AWESOME FINGERS AND TOES 💅🏼🦶🏻

    I have been going to Essence Nail Salon for a couple years now. Hannah 💅🏻 has always been so kind excellent and detail oriented. I love my manicure every time its such a welcomingenvironment. They do complementary drinks and they just treat you very nicely have an excellent color selection and the customer service is 10 out of 10.

    First time and I’m hooked! Ivy did my pedicure and Hannah did my nails! I feel amazing! Everyone is super friendly you feel right at home! I’m definitely making Essence my new nail home! Not to mention their pricing is very reasonable!

  • Review 8 (2023-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    First time going here and they did not disappoint. All the staff are very friendly and my nail artist did an amazing job on my rainbow pastel nails! 10/10 would recommend and plan on going back!

  • Review 9 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Tom always does a great job with my dip manicure! I have been coming to Essence Nails for 6 years and they always do a great job.Update: Tom, Bang, and the entire staff at Essence Nails are the best!! I can always count on them for great service and the best mani/pedi around.

  • Review 10 (2021-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    Tom and Bang are the best techs in the area. Their new store is fantastic. Super clean, friendly staff and nice little bar. My wife and I highly recommend Essence Nails!

  • Review 11 (2024-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    First time after being referred and LOVED the customer service as early as my initial call to schedule an appointment. Felt extremely welcomed; had wonderful service; gentle and did a great job; clean! Ill be a regular!

  • Review 12 (2024-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    I had dip powder done on my nails and gel on my toes, and they did an excellent job. I was in town for a funeral, and they were able to take me as a walk-in.

  • Review 13 (2022-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    I walked in last night on a whim and asked if they had availability the next day for myself and 3 friends to come in for a pedicure. They were able to accommodate us and after today I couldnt be more pleased. The pedicure was great, massage and hot stone included in the basic pedi. Customer service was outstanding. We were offered drinks- and 4 moms out on a late Saturday afternoon were appreciative of the wine and mixed drink offerings. The staff were all super friendly, especially Hannah who is really funny and easy to chat with. I plan to come back and would definitely recommend them!

  • Review 14 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    I always have a pleasant experience at Essence Nails & Spa. Bang is my ‘go to’ technician. She makes my nails and feet look amazing! I showed her a photo of a nail color combination I had seen in a magazine and she duplicated it to a tee for me. The saloon is always spotless and all the technicians are professional and friendly. I highly recommend giving them a try💕.

  • Review 15 (2022-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    Essence Nails was recommended to me by a friend. I had one of the best pedicures ever. Im pleased with the results. Not only do my toes look fantastic, but my skin is soft and smooth. The foot and lower leg massage was very nice as well.

  • Review 16 (2023-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Go see Amy! You won’t be disappointed. She pays attention to detail, is meticulous in her work, and gives the best pedicure in Sarasota, hands down! Hannah is great too!

  • Review 17 (2022-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    This place is GREAT! Honestly. If you are unsure where to go, I recommend this place, as you can trust them to listen to you and do what YOU ask instead of a lot of places that don’t listen and do what THEY want instead. Also, they are NOT pushy about getting other services you didn’t ask for. (We’ve all been there) They might ask once and that’s it. They are very kind & knowledgeable. I go to Tom and I’m happier with my nails than I’ve ever been. Period! That is saying a lot considering I’ve been getting my nails done 💅 for over 25yrs. All the technicians are great. No matter who does your service. You’re in good hands at Essence Nail & Spa.

  • Review 18 (2020-03-17 - Rating: 5)

    As a new visitor to a town, I am always hesitant to try a new salon. I took a chance with Essence Nails and was very pleased to get the professionalism, cleanliness and quality I received. Nancy is one sweet and friendly person who goes beyond the call of duty to please her clients.I have heard very good comments about the other members of her team from other clients as well. In this day of health concerns, the staff take precautions to make sure their clients are in a clean safe environment. Ive had a few appointments with this salon this winter and always look forward to coming here. Excellent workmanship.

  • Review 19 (2021-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    Before coming, I checked the reviews online and saw a good amount of negative ones. But I still decided to go anyways and I am so confused because they did a great job there. I got my acrylics nails filled. The colors were pretty confusing because every nail was a different color, but Tina handled it very well. I love the outcome of my nails, my favorite nails ive gotten so far! Tina is great, she paid close attention to every small detail:)

  • Review 20 (2022-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    Has been my favorite nail place for almost 6 years now. Nothing compares to the quality, service, and friendliness you receive here. I bought my mom a gift certificate 4 years ago and she has been coming ever since. The employees know her by name and are always happy to see her. A friendly atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. I can’t say enough nice things about Essence Nails.

  • Review 21 (2022-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    The best nail salon i’ve ever been to! a solid 10/10 experience. the staff was super nice and the nails turned out amazing. also, it was much cheaper than my old nail salon, and the nails ended up turning out better! will be going back again next set!

  • Review 22 (2022-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been a client of Toms for quite some time now and I cant imagine ever finding such skilled, talented, friendly and professional Nail and Spa services anywhere else in this entire region of the Suncoast. I am a forever client. Beyond fair pricing, peaceful atmosphere, clean and sanitary, friendly lighthearted service specialists, refreshments offered. I always look forward to my appointments!

  • Review 23 (2023-08-28 - Rating: 5)

    I have been going to essence nails for two years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!When my ninety year old mother comes here for the winter, I take her with me as well, and they are wonderful with her

  • Review 24 (2022-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    Ive taken my daughter there a few times now to get her eyebrows waxed and they always do a good job. Noticed the last time I was there, they now serve mixed drinks. Thought that was a cool idea! Definitely a returning customer.UPDATE* been back a few times since original review, all good experiences.

  • Review 25 (2022-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    I am new to the area and when I googled I found them right away with beautiful reviews. From the moment they picked up the phone they were pleasant friendly helpful. I had a manicure and pedicure with a woman named amy who was amazing. In addition the shop is beautiful with artwork and nice soft music. The massage chairs during the pedicure were the best I ever sat in. The shop was clean everyone was wonderful. I had to recommend Essence Nail shop.

  • Review 26 (2021-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    I have been a customer at Essence Nails for more than 4 years. I get acrylic nails, gel manicures, and face waxing.. The shop is clean, the staff is always pleasant, and I have always been happy with my procedures. I definitely can recommend this business.

    My aunt and I have been going to Bang Bang & Tom for over 3 years now at another salon and let me just say… We would follow them anywhere! (just glad you didn’t go too far haha)Bottom line is… They are wonderful people & AMAZING at what they do. 🙂 I get gel or dip with Bang and my aunt does acrylic w/ gel on top with Tom.
