If you want to try a brand-new, affordable, upscale place to pamper yourself in Wesley Chapel, Bella Nail Lounge, a full-service nail salon that has had an original location in Lutz for 12 years, expanded to The Shoppes at New Tampa plaza on Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd., south of S.R. 56, in Wesley Chapel in January.
Founder Lap âAndyâ Nguyen says the new location is, âcentral to Wesley Chapel, and I was looking at this plaza for years, waiting for the opportunity. Wesley Chapel is a newer area, with a lot of new people moving in.âÂ
Julie Dang, Bella Nailsâ assistant manager, adds, âWe live here in Wesley Chapel, and it is a very high-end, close-knit, family-oriented community, and there werenât any high-end salons here like in South Tampa. Weâre bringing the South Tampa vibe to Wesley Chapel.â
At Bella Nails, you will experience more than just a nail salon. This isnât the fast-paced, traditional mom-and-pop nail salon you may be accustomed to or expecting. Instead, you will enter a luxurious nail lounge where you will receive relaxing and rejuvenating spa services. Sip on a glass of champagne or wine as you sit back in Bellaâs state-of-the-art, full-body massage pedicure lounge chairs, escape the stress of your everyday life and pamper yourself with the best service and quality.
The nail technicians at Bella Nails are friendly, skilled, attentive and are trained in all aspects of safety, sanitation and sterilization of all products. They use only non-toxic, toluene-free nail polish, with more than 2,000 color choices, including organic and vegan options, and the right equipment to ensure your safety and satisfaction.
âPeople who are pregnant can choose a safe vegan option for a soft gel,â Julie explains.Â
Bella Nails doesnât forget the youngsters, either. For kids ages 11 and under, Bella Nails provides organic and vegan choices in Princess pedicures and manicures, gel pedicures and manicures, plus polish and gel polish changes.
So, whether you want a classic French manicure, a trendy nail art design, SNS-dipping powder, gel top coat, polish change, or a spa pedicure â or virtually any other type of nail service, you can enjoy them all at Bella Nails.
Beyond a regular manicure (or, for the gentlemen, a âmanli-cureâ), Bella Nails also offers a Voesh Mani-In-A-Box with Collagen Gloves. This individually packaged three-step treatment is regarded as the cleanest and most hygienic spa manicure solution, with sugar scrub, mud mask and massage cream.
For pedicures, the selections are vast. You may choose from a mint refresh, coffee-infused, mango-infused, charcoal, volcanic-mineral, honey and milk, mojito lime, CBD volcanic gold, CBD volcanic rose gold, Napa Valley champagne elegance anti-aging pedicure, cooling signature bliss pedicure in cucumber-mint, lemon, and mandarin scent, or Voesh Pedi-In- A-Box. Each service will leave your feet feeling refreshed, revitalized and radiantly beautiful â all in a sanitary and luxurious environment.Â
Bella Nail Lounge also offers less common services, including waxing from eyebrows and lips to back and Brazilians, facials, lash extensions and even IV vitamin injections.
âWe go beyond a nail salon,â Andy says. âWeâre like a spa attached to a nail salon. On the weekends, when the wife gets a pedicure, the husband can enjoy a complimentary beer or wine at our bar.â
But donât let them fool you â Julie says that men love to be pampered, too. Whether itâs a soothing manicure or a pedicure, men also canât resist a little self-care. At Bella Nail Lounge, men and women can equally experience the ultimate indulgence: a pedicure in the massage chair.
âWe want to provide an upscale, relaxing spot where moms and daughters, husbands and wives can go,â Andy says. âMany places donât make it comfortable for the dads or husbands to come along, but with our chairs and pedicure facility, men love it. Itâs the Rolls Royce of pedicure chairs. They never want to leave.â
During their pedicure or manicure, guests also can conveniently receive vitamin IV injections. âWe do IV injections for better health,â Julie says. âFor people who take medication, and canât absorb vitamins, we provide our clients with vitamin treatments through an IV as a spa treatment.âÂ
Julie also says that manicures and pedicures arenât just for cosmetic reasons anymore.Â
âPeople are always going to want to get manicures and pedicures,â she says, âwith pedicures, itâs not even just about pampering but maintaining your health because reflexology is in your feet. For instance, with ingrown toenails, people must maintain their feet to walk comfortably and wear comfortable shoes.â
Julie also explains how the nail salon business has evolved and will continue to do so.
âBefore, you only had two options for your nails â paint your natural nails or put on fake nails,â she says. âBut now, you have many more natural enhancements that arenât necessarily acrylic, like natural and gel-powder dips that strengthen your nails. Bella Nails offers all of those options.â
One of Julieâs favorite stories is about a husband and wife. âThe husband would never come into the salon,â she says. âHe finally came in, and we offered him a Mimosa. Once he sat down in the chair, that was it. He said, âIâm coming back without my wife.â This is our goal. We want to provide a place where you can have an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Our workers can read the clients and know if they do or donât want to have a conversation. Itâs a no-pressure salon.â
