I had such a great experience at The Paintbox Studio! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The salon itself is beautifully designed—very clean, cozy, and relaxing, with a soothing ambiance. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. My nail technician, Alex, took the time to listen to what I wanted and made great suggestions that fit my style.I couldn’t be happier with the results. The products they use are high-quality, and my nails have never looked so shiny and flawless. The attention to detail was outstanding, and I really appreciated the gentle, yet thorough approach.I will definitely be coming back and recommending The Paintbox Studio to my friends!

This place is IT !!! truly the best nail salon ive ever been to. the attention to detail is unmatched. yes, its a little pricier than other salons but the manicures last 4 weeks!!! i will never go to another salon and i have sent multiple people from my workplace here because i always get questions about where i get my nails done ; since they look so beautiful! I will say this salon is the place to go for fantastic nails and a perfect looking manicure / pedicure - if youre looking for more of a spa-like experience this probably is not the place for you - they spend most time on your nails and cuticles (as they should!!) so they look perfect. just thought this was worth mentioning. but if you want perfect nails that last 4 weeks - GO HERE!

Quality of manicure is top notch and I have the experience to say this as I’ve had a Russian style mani in Pensacola, Los Angeles, as well as another local Tampa salon. What this salon could REALLY use is a course on customer service and an attitude adjustment. Maybe the techs could smile and have a little bit of conversation to give the customer a warm welcome…It’s great to be good at what you do but to be an all around place of business that will thrive in the future, you need to have the skill and customer service to make it a 5 star salon. The cost of a French tip manicure the Paintbox is overpriced. However, I’ll continue to return as long as I live in the area because I do like the way my nails are done. It also took 3 visits before finding the tech who listened and gave me what I wanted. When I leave the salon, I’m usually not in a great mood because there’s little to no interaction; I’m an extrovert and just dropped $150+ on a manicure and should feel better, right?! But my nails look fantastic when he’s done. I do appreciate the artwork and dedication to doing a great job.

You know they say, “Once you go Russian, you never go back”! 😂 I have been going to Ewa for almost a year and a half for my Russian manicures. I had my first one with her and she was my little secret gem…I have followed her everywhere she has moved. Each move is better and better. Well, she is no secret anymore! Let me tell you I will never have my nails done anywhere else. She is so meticulous and detailed. And if for any reason you are not happy with the nails, she will make it right.I get so many compliments. My nails last 4-5 weeks. The price is worth every penny the time she spends with you and the beautiful product.The other nail professionals she is training are also learning the skills daily. Each one of them cares so much about their craft.I cannot say enough how Paintbox studio is THE PLACE to get your nails done.

This place has an amazing ambiance with kind girls working at the front. The nail artists are all amazing and do such great work. I would check them out on IG to see more pictures if you’re curious on their work. They all offer amazing work and services. There is no place in Tampa that do this kind of work and it lasts 3-4+ weeks. I had a mani and pedi.Alexandra.S

I decided to come here before my wedding and Veronika did my manicure. She was so sweet and did an incredible job!!!These photos were taken 2 weeks apart, and omg I’ve never had my nails look this good after 2 weeks! I actually went a month before my next appointment and it looked like a 2 week grow out (no chips or lifting!). Was so great because I didn’t have to worry about getting my nail done during my honeymoon. Best manicure I’ve ever had!!

I HIGHLY recommend this salon. This was my first Russian manicure experience and I will be coming back! I’m not sure how anyone could leave a bad review of this salon because my experience was phenomenal. You can tell the owner really cares about the customers and your service. I asked questions throughout my appointment and she took the time to explain everything to me which I greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a clean, personable and relaxing salon book an appointment here! I cannot thank the team at The Paintbox Studio enough. Thank you!!

Hannah is amazing!!! So pleased by how well my manicure turned out. Definitely understand the hype of a Russian manicure. She is thorough, super personable, and so kind. I highly recommend her.The salon is located in a white house btw - you park in the gated lot next to the house.

Went for my first time for a Russian manicure and I highly recommend the studio. Upon arrival I was nicely greeted by the owner and immediately asked if i wanted some water. Amanda was my stylist and to see how compassion she is of her job made my nails look even better. I had no issue booking my appointment along with finding out the cost of each treatment. I highly recommend the paintbox studio, and I can’t wait to go back in a couple of weeks. I have also referred two other friends in which they’ve also loved their job.

My mani was pure perfection! My nail artist Jessy was a dream. Meticulous to detail and such a sweet soul! I can tell this manicure will hold up for weeks! The studio owner is also so sweet, you can tell she cares deeply about her customers and employees. The space is a vibe, trendy and cozy which ensures you are fully relaxed during your appointment They also have an incredible selection of products, since my hands and nails are so dry I tried the scrub and I’m obsessed!

So grateful I finally found a European manicurist, it’s the world of a difference. I went to Hannah and she did such a beautiful job. The whole appointment was enjoyable and my nails look so beautiful. Excited to finally have found someone!

Ive been here to see valentina 3 times now, each time she does perfect and meticulous work, and I appreciate her attention to details. She also works quickly which is a bonus! The studio itself is beautiful, always clean and love the small luxurious touches everywhere.

The BEST manicure of my life! I found Ewa and her team a few months ago at the recommendation from a friend. Her nails always looked beautiful and I never could go more than a few day without chipped nails…but not anymore. Over the last few months my nails have become beautiful and long lasting. My last manicure literally lasted a month! They take the time to educate you on how to improve your nail health, get the most out of your manicure, and are extremely professional. I will never go anywhere else!

This was my first time coming to The Paint Box Studio. I had set up an appointment with Julia but she was unable to make it.. Hannah was nice enough to call me and re-arrange schedules and still see me. Hannah was so sweet and explained everything she was doing for me. I already set my next appointment with Hannah. My nails turned out so wonderful also! I can’t wait to come back. Their studio is so cute, and you feel so relaxed in there as well. I enjoyed my appointment from beginning to end.

My nails have never been stronger, healthier, and NATURAL! I’m obsessed with them every time I leave the salon. Ewa, Zhanna and Eric are all amazing.

Hands-down, the best manicure I have ever had. I see Reda, and literally, my nails are absolute perfection!

This was my first time doing a Russian manicure. I highly recommend this salon. Amanda did a very good job on my manicure. I definitely enjoyed getting my manicure done. Definitely coming back!

I love this place. 💗 I started seeing Valentina at the beginning of the year and this is hands down the best service. She is a gem and I look forward to seeing her! And my nails look so glam

Wonderful experience! Never had my nails done so well. Although their pricing is on the higher end, it’s absolutely worth it. Veronika worked diligently and quickly.

22 June - 25 July, And my Russian manicure with Eric is still PERFECT !!! Wonderful experience. Professional, clean, friendly. 😍😍😍 of course I’m back for manicure & pedicure 🥰

Review 22 (2023-12-15 - Rating: 5)
This was my first time getting a Russian manicure and I am blown away by the results! My nail technician, Julia, was amazing. Her attention to detail was unlike any other. My pointer fingers have always stubbornly curved down, and I’ve been told by all previous nail techs this can’t be fixed, and Julia fixed it without even having to ask. I can’t see myself ever going back to dip nails again. The staff is very welcoming and the salon is extremely clean. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Review 23 (2024-04-04 - Rating: 5)
Ewa is the best! She’s super sweet and does an amazing job. I love my nails! I highly recommend them.

Veronika is amazing! The most immaculate & clean manicure and pedicure. Selfishly, I want this studio to be a secret but I have to share how wonderful my experience was!

Review 25 (2024-01-11 - Rating: 5)
I went in for curiosity about a Russian manicure! 💅🏼 And I absolutely loved everything about it! Attention to detail and amazing costumer service. Super clean cute little place. I love how they took the time to explain and understand what I really wanted. I have spent more money in other salons… and never got the result I wanted.

Review 26 (2023-05-26 - Rating: 5)
This place is amazing! I’ve been coming here for several months and can’t recommend them enough. I’ve seen both Zhanna and Eric and they are both amazing. These nails in the picture were done by Eric - he’s great! The attention to detail is unreal. Completely worth the price for the level of service you get.

Review 27 (2023-10-20 - Rating: 5)
I have gone to Paintbox for my manicure and pedicure twice. Ewa and Eric have done an amazing job with a manicure that lasts a while. I have very brittle nails and the Russian manicure has been amazing for my nail growth. The salon is spotless and very well decorated. They offer you water or something to drink when you enter as well. I will continue to go her and refer other clients.

I’ve been going to the owner, Ewa for almost a year and I would have to say I’m always pleased and satisfied with my results and experience. I am very particular, and I appreciate her attention to detail and customer service, because both are extremely important.The salon is beautiful, homey, and very chic. I have already recommended so many people to her establishment and looking forward in returning for my next appointment. :) Awesome, Professional, and Neat Russian Manicure.

Review 29 (2023-05-16 - Rating: 5)
The best Russian Manicure in Tampa! Not only is it so satisfying to watch them do their thing but the end result are fabulous, I can’t never believe my nails look this good. The team there are such cool people and it shows the passion they have for what they do. Highly recommended!

I have been to many different nail technicians over the years, but none measure up to Ewa. Her work is impeccable & perfection! And she is incredibly professional and welcoming. I could not recommend Paintbox Studio more!!

Review 31 (2023-12-12 - Rating: 5)
The absolute best. They are meticulous, and always perfect! Pricey but will last over a month and my nails have never been healthier!
