About

Yaya Nails operates two salons about fourteen miles apart: one on North Washington Boulevard in Sarasota and one on 39th Street West in Bradenton. The business carries the name of its founder, Yaya Desdin, who runs both salons and still keeps her own working table at the Sarasota location.

Clients can book online at any hour through each salon's page by choosing services, then a technician, then a time. Walk-ins are also welcome, though booking ahead secures a particular technician and slot. No deposit is taken to book, and payment is made at the salon by any common method. Prices are quoted before tax and vary with the technician chosen. Coffee is offered during appointments at no charge, and parking is available.

Nail services cost the same and take the same time at both salons, while waxing and brow services differ between the two locations. The menu is grouped into manicures, pedicures, and eyebrows and waxing. Pedicure Spa is a four-step treatment with a bubble salt soak, sugar scrub, cream mask and hot-towel massage, and Pedicure Luxury runs seven steps that include callus removal, a hot-stone massage and a take-home serum. According to the salon, it holds a 4.9 rating on Google from more than 340 reviews.

The salon also runs a two-day acrylic nails course of 16 hours, priced at $650 and held in both Sarasota and Bradenton. Groups are small and places are limited. The course covers natural nail preparation through to gel polish and final finishing, and includes a basic kit and a certificate of completion. The site notes that the course is a technique course and that doing paid nail work in Florida requires a state Nail Specialist registration. Course questions can be sent by WhatsApp.
