Where can I get my nails done in Valrico?

Answered by Sarah M.

Multiple nail salons are along SR-60 and Bloomingdale Ave. Luxe Nail Bar is popular for a higher-end experience. Happy Nails and LA Nails are solid everyday options. Prices for a basic mani-pedi run $35-$55. For a splurge, Woodhouse Day Spa in Tampa is about 25 minutes away. Most salons take walk-ins but weekends get busy — booking ahead helps, especially for Saturday mornings.
