Nail care and nail art. That’s Yaya.
Booked by branch, by service, and by the technician you want.
About
Gel, dip powder, acrylic, manicures, pedicures, brows and wax, at both salons. Reviews keep coming back to the same things: attention to detail, a welcoming room, and a technician clients ask for by name. Yaya still takes clients, and you book her the same way as anyone on the team.
Cuticle work, dehydration, a base that bonds to the plate rather than to the polish. One review says a set lasted almost a month before it needed a fill.
The booking asks for the technician before the time, so the one you liked last time is the one you book again.



Both salons carry her name.
She runs both salons and keeps her own table in Sarasota, where she does acrylic sets and fills, gel, dip powder and manicures. She also teaches the salon’s acrylic course herself. Book your acrylic set with her, and it comes from the person who teaches the course.
Booking opens on the services she does, then her times.
“Everyone at Yaya is warm and friendly and when visiting, they make you feel like part of the family.”

I’m so impressed with my experience at my new nail salon! Ailema did an amazing job on my nails. She was so detailed, careful, and truly took her time to make sure everything was perfect. I absolutely love how my nails turned out! 💅🏼 I’m so happy I found my new go-to nail salon. Thank you, Ailema, for making my nails look beautiful! I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤️
This is honestly THE best place to get a pedicure they always get everything right even when I’m extremely particular with my French. Love them down!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m here on business and DESPERATELY needed my nails done. I scheduled my appointment online, which was soooo convenient! My work ended earlier than expected, so I called to see if there was any chance they could take me before my scheduled appointment, and they were so accommodating and got me in early. I came in needing my nails fixed from my last appointment at another salon, and they did an EXCELLENT job. But let me tell you about the CUTICLE WORK. Holy cow. 😍 It honestly reminded me of the detail you get with a Russian manicure, but at a much more affordable price. They took their time and paid attention to every little detail. I was genuinely so impressed with how thorough they were. They also have PLENTY of colors to choose from, which I always appreciate. The pedicure was just as impressive. They took care of my ingrown toenails, removed all the dead skin, and gave me a phenomenal massage. My feet felt completely different when I left! They offered me a soda or coffee, and the woman sitting next to me immediately told me, “They have the best coffee!” 😂☕ I love little touches like that. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. There are plenty of pedicure chairs, a restroom available, and street parking nearby. I’m not from the area, but I was so impressed that I would genuinely make the drive back here just to have my nails done. It’s worth the trip. The attention to detail alone sets this place apart. Absolutely recommend Yaya Nails! 💅🏼
I was really happy with the service. I brought my wife in, and her nails turned out perfect. You can really see the attention to detail. The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We’ll definitely be back.”
You get what you pay for. Not cheap or fast, but hands down the best mani / pedi I have had in Sarasota. Excellent attention to detail on both hands and feet. And good coffee. Fun group. Thank you!
They’re the only place I’ve been to in Bradenton that does my nails PROPERLY! I’m talking the best cuticle care I’ve ever received every appointment, even if it’s just a fill. They make my hands look chic and clean and expensive. Takes longer but that’s because they give you quality. Not to mention very kind.
