Forum Nails & Spa

I love Lynn, Linda and the team here! I drive over thirty minutes just to get my nails and pedicures done at Forum Nails!!! Cleanest place I have ever been too, so many options from standard, acrylic, gel and dip. The customer service is beyond 5 star as well, so accommodating and as someone who is big on customer service as an Director of HR, this is hands down the BEST place ever.

And no, they are not paying me or giving me any free/discount services for this posting.

Whenever I come to Clearwater, my first stop is Forum nails for a mani and pedi. I love this place. It's never crazy busy and I've never had to wait to get started.
It's clean and staff are super attentive. I always get shellac on both my fingers and toes. French on my fingers. Bright red on my toes. The job they do is amazing. I always walk out looking and feeling my best. Highly recommend this place.

I wish I could give ZERO! First off they charge 15$ extra dollars for Gel. Not sure if that's average pricing or not but secondly the nail technician literally CUT OPEN my skin while filing. She tried to be gentle moving forward but the blood was already dripping . Not only onto her nail but the tools she was using as well. And nothing was cleaned afterwards . Then when I go to pay and I'm clearly disappointed with being left with an open wound they make me pay full price. FULL PRICE. They did apologize for the wound but they offered no other compensation. Be AWARE. Those tools didn't get sanitized. Who knows what else they're doing unsanitary there

Just tried this place out for a pedicure with gel polish. I called before going and they said I could come in. I was helped promptly when arriving. Water wasn't hot enough for me so I told her and she got it warm. They give you a menu book to choose your pedicure and of course a nail swatch for color. I picked the Thai pedicure. Foot was scrubbed well and my foot was well moistured. The pressure wasn't what I excepted ...less than I'm use to. But overall it was all good and I was out in less than an hour. It was good but I spent $63 with a $10 tip. I thought the pedi was $38 that I chose but I'm sure there is a gel polish charge...it's been a while since I got one done since I haven't gotten one through the pandemic. But it's closer than where I usually go ...will consider returning after I see how long this polish last. Place is nice and clean.

A new nail spa, they've only been open since just after Thanksgiving.

Inside, they're very chic. Very relaxing, and comfortable. Warm tones of orange, brown and stone, it looks upscale and high end. My reason for going there was to get my nails done for the Yelpies. Seems that Gel likes to peel off of me within a few days.

They asked if I wanted a powder manicure, I had no idea what they meant.. So, sure why not. I'd try it. Well, I was in for an experience. First step was to remove the old polish, then to file and dremel down my nails, then came the application process. I'll save the details, but it really is a powder. A glitter really well.. several times this is done. It's very interesting and involved. In the end, it seems to be a more involved process than a normal paint manicure, but, my nails have never been shinier and it's been a few days, and there's no hint of chipping.

The technicians were all very polite and very friendly. I'll likely come back and see what they do for a pedicure with my itty bitty toe nails. :)

I used to come here regularly to get dip or gel nails done. I stopped because the quality of the work being done was subpar and the tech would often make my cuticles bleed. I also did not like that they were pushy with the upgrades. Every time they would ask 2 or 3 times if I wanted to also get a pedicure or eyebrow wax. Felt like being at a used car sales lot

I stopped going for a few years but decided to go back. I gave one more chance today because it's one of the few salons open on Sunday. When we got there I made it very clear I wanted a basic pedi for me and a polish change on toes for my 5 year old. Again we were pressured to upgrade which I declined. We sat down to begin our pedicures. The lady doing mine was in such a rush, it seemed as though the building must be on fire and she was trying to hurry out the door. My whole pedicure took 15 minutes tops. It wasn't even busy, what's the rush for?? Secondly, the person doing my daughters nails took the liberty to upgrade her to a full pedicure AND manicure with designs without even consulting me about it. The price ended up being $65 BEFORE tip. About double what it should have been if I got only what I asked for. Absurd. Will not be back. Going to stick with EV nails in the future. They are right down the road from here and the service they provide is exponentially better.

I give this place 1 star for the facade of a posh decor ! The staff of inept and lacks skill. The managing individual is pushy , overbearing and abrupt . At checkout I was billed an exorbitant amount for SLOW SHODDY WORK ! Do not be fooled by the salon appearance, you will do better in WALMART!

STAY AWAY

Got my toes done for my mothers wedding. Jason was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointed doesn't even begin to describe my experience here. I came in for a Dip Powder manicure. I asked for one coat of the color as I like the look of the color when it's a bit more sheer. The tech continued to proceed with applying three coats of the powder. She realized I'm not happy and asked me to come back tomorrow for her to fix it. But first her and four of her other techs continued to speak about me abruptly in their language.

I came in the next day. I sat down. A very rude tech asked me to sit down at a station and she proceeded to take off the dip powder by using the grinding tool. She was so rough with my hands she made my fingers bleed. After the second finger I said. Excuse me. You're being very rough. She put the tools down and said someone else will help you?!?!?!?! Now I'm here over an hour. Sitting with the dip powder melted all over my fingers. And everyone keeps getting served except me.

Wow!!!

Stay away.
