About

The Paintbox Studio is a studio in Tampa at 2323 W Aileen St. Its menu covers nail services, brow work, tiny tattoos, foot care, injectables and wellness, with a team of nail technicians, a brow artist, a foot care specialist and a wellness provider. Everything is booked by appointment. The studio says its name draws on the idea of thinking outside the box and reflects a culture that celebrates individuality.

The Russian manicure is the centerpiece. The salon describes it as its number one choice. The range runs from a no-gel therapy visit, which includes shaping, e-file cuticle care, exfoliation, a moisturizing mask and a strengthening treatment, through rubber base and builder or hard gel versions for natural nails that need more strength or correction, up to custom nail extensions, where final price and time depend on length and complexity. First-time clients can book a first visit Russian manicure, which is designed for short, bitten, weak or damaged natural nails and does not include extensions.

Foot care ranges from a waterless dry pedicure for routine care to an advanced pedicure that includes gel color or regular polish. A specialized foot care option is performed by the studio's certified foot care specialist for thick or difficult toenails, ingrown toenail discomfort, corns and heavy callus. Ingrown toenail care can be added to a pedicure. Clients with infection, drainage, significant swelling or severe pain are advised to see a podiatrist before booking it.

Beyond nails and feet, the studio offers machine hair strokes, a permanent makeup service for brows, along with brow shaping and a semi-permanent tint, and tiny tattoos, which are booked after a call to discuss the idea. Injectables such as Botox and filler and wellness services including a functional medicine consultation, IV therapy and a weight loss program are also available. A complimentary 15-minute consultation is offered at no charge.

The studio also teaches. Courses include a three-day Russian manicure technique course for beginners that covers business coaching and social media marketing, a two-day nail extension course and a one-day pedicure course. Courses are taught in English, Spanish, Russian and Polish, and custom courses can be requested through a form. The salon is also hiring a nail technician and mentions flexible scheduling, ongoing education and professional growth.

The studio names passion for the work, care for people and knowledgeable services tailored to the needs of skin and nails as its core values.

A creative space where members are encouraged to express themselves.
