Nail Salons 15 Reviews in Clearwater, FL (Part 3)

Kayla Madison I’ve tried giving this place several different chances to impress me over the years. But I am nothing but always disappointed. This time I got almond French tip acrylics and they are all ready lifting from my nails and chipping, uneven and crooked. Unfortunately I don’t think I will ever be back.

Elizabeth Thara I have been coming here for years. They have many options of different types of pedicures. So far, the herbal spa pedicure is my favorite and most cost friendly. They sometimes have specials running around certain holidays too! I see Tammy every time now. She is the best!! She gives awesome massages and is so sweet! They take appointments too. I typically never wait more than 15 minutes if I dont have an appointment. They also provide beverages so thats a plus! Thank you Tammy!!

Shasity Murphy I’ve been going here for a little over a year now. I’ve never left upset with my nails or pedicure. They’ve come to recognize me and greet me by name and a smile. Highly recommend.

Jillian DuBois Great experience in the Countryside area! I walked in and was pleasantly greeted and taken care of right away! Holly took wonderful care of doing my gel nails and they look beautiful!

Kema Norris I never would have tried this place if my mom hadnt recommended it, given the ratings/reviews, but Im so glad she did! I was thoroughly impressed during my first visit a few weeks ago, and I decided to make it my new go-to salon. I made my second appointment hoping to see the same technician as before, but he was off. I tried a new tech today, and I was just as impressed, if not more! I highly recommend this salon.

Delia Amaro My first time at SOHO nail salon. The experience was above my expectations. I had a 2:00 pm appointment and was taken to my chair within minutes and out the door with a beautiful pedicure in less than 1 hour.

Maria Webb Lynn is amazing! I had an ingrow toe nail that was hurting badly. She didn’t stop until she got it all out. Ask for Lynn when you go to this nail salon. She is amazing!

Amanda Maxwell Could have used a little more pressure when massaging legs and feet. All around arrive was great and get are fabulous. Toes look great as well. First time visitor and will definitely go back. The ladies are super friendly.

Taylor Seals As always had a wonderful experience, brought my 94yr old mother there and they took great care of her! So grateful for a fun day with her and for their caring service.

Dimana Proykova I got the E-file luminary fill and after one week my nails look like that. My nails have never looked that bad. Thin and easily breakable. Don’t recommend the place!

Mikaela Carmin Gonzales This was my first time here and Paula and Veronika took care of my friend and I, we will be loyal customers now! This nail spa is super clean and cute. The owner is very personable and sweet and we really enjoyed our time here relaxing and getting our nails done! 10/10 recommend

kim mccambley This was my first time here and I never have used this type of product before, but I do have to say the nail tech was extremely knowledgeable and informed me that it was a lot healthier for my nails. She did an amazing job with my polish and design, and everyone is extremely friendly.

Sasha Rachel I got my nails done at the beginning of October and they came out beautifully. The blue ones are mine and they were just perfect for the occasion. I’ve gone back and will continue to go here.

Carla Gaona I been going here for almost a year and it’s the only place that I have found that are able to do my Luminary Hard Gel nail wraps exceptionally well. I don’t wear tips and my nails are natural. I have been to other places around Clearwater/Dunedin and Wanderlust is by far the best place I have found. So if you have natural long nails and want them protected you should give this salon a try.

Taryn Harrison LOVE this place! I have been coming here for a few years now and wont go anywhere else. Once a month, I get a pedi and nail fill (acrylic) with design. Everyone is super nice and professional. They are always willing to fix any mistakes or breaks, even if its my fault. I always have a design idea, and Val always delivers. I highly recommend checking them out! For the services I get along with the quality I am very happy with the price. Im usually about $120 or less for both a deluxe pedi, nail fill with gel polish, and design. The more complicated the design or extras I get, naturally the more I pay. However, they use top quality products. 20/10 highly recommend!!!

Trudi Fletcher Ive been coming to Venus Nail Lounge for a couple of years. I always feel valued as a client. I enjoy talking with Val and the nail techs while getting pampered. My nails are very challenging, rough ridges, splits, etc. Val always has a good solution to whatever issue Im dealing with. I really enjoy coming here! I feel its a great value for my money!

Anna Anna Highly recommend Venus Nails. Great people; quality service, high price ($150 + tip+ 4 hours of Yr time) for gel mani + pedi. Good news u can get your nails done and forget about them for 3-5 weeks till u have to do them again :)

B A Val is absolutely amazing. I forgot the name of the gentleman who does my toes, but both times its been great. Amazing pedicure chairs with massage make for an added bonus!! Found my new nail shop. Clean place, Courteous and consistent. Everyone here works so hard and you can tell. HIGHLY recommend an appointment as theyvare super busy. Thanks for working so hard!!!

Nicole Wilson Can’t say enough good things about Venus. Always super clean! Staff is very knowledgeable. Taking a break from getting my nails done until the summer time. Val took such good care of me, as always. She removed my acrylic’s & I was able to leave with my natural nails looking SO healthy.. it really is about the application & she proved that in her work. Also thank you Nick for the amazing pedicure! Keep up the good work guys :)

linda welborn My first time at this salon and I will definitely be back. The place was nice and clean. Diamond was friendly and did a great job!

Patti M I always get the best pedicures from them. I moved into the Clearwater area about 2 years ago and found them right outside my mobile home park. I will never go to anybody else, they are wonderful.

Kiara Weatherspoon They did a very good job on my nails! The service was very pleasant and i will definitely be going back! The girls are very sweet.

Kali Liburd Andy is by far the best nail tech I have come across in the Tampa Bay area. Very talented does phenomenal designs. Very fair in the pricing and I have been getting my nails done by him for many years

Samantha Greene After a great referral from a friend I went to this shop to see Andy to get my nails done. He did exactly what I wanted and the nails came out great. I’ll be back in a few weeks for a fill in. Update after over 3 weeks went back for a fill it and they came out beautiful aswell.

Carrie Rengert A group of friends and I got to spend the afternoon being pamper by the Noir staff. Attention to detail, clean, amazing service!

Carol A Asamoah Noire The Nail Bar Clearwater Beach ~ Poinsettia Avenue Phung, Kim and Jenny (my apologies if I have the name wrong) were our technicians for the work we had done. The salon was very clean and inviting. We went on a Friday afternoon around 12:30 and had the place to ourselves the entire time we were there. We’re snowbirds, so this was a “birthday treat” for my husband from me, who was in need of a pedicure. Once we got there we ended up getting him a mani, too. Phung did an absolute amazing job on my pedi. My mani was done by Kim (I think). I’ve never had 3 people work on me (I do this monthly at home). We had lots of friendly conversation, lots of laughs and I think they enjoyed the fun and jokes, too. We were offered refreshments, water or soda. If there were other options, they were not offered. I’m generally use to the back massage while the feet are being done; but this shop charges extra for that service and/or there are specific terms for this to be included. We both had: The Deluxe #7 Foot massages/Pedicure with the Stones, and a Manicure. I had my usual gel nail polish on both my feet and nails. No complaints about the service, it was within walking distance of where we were staying for the month, so we incurred no parking charges. Little on the expensive side without the neck massage/snacks, but it’s the cost of a business on the Beach. Until our next time.

L C Very clean! We went on a Friday evening around 5 and had the place to ourselves the entire time. The ladies that did our pedicures and nails were awesome, we had a lot of fun. My pedicure looks perfect! Unfortunately, when they were doing my nails they didn’t get close enough to the cuticle so they looked really grown out after only two days. You do have to pay about $10 for parking, so if you’re within walking distance I’d suggest walking.

Ali Lewis We had a wonderful first experience at Noire! Phung, Johnny, and Kim were very friendly and did exceptional work. We highly recommend!

Angela Waldman Really nice, clean salon with very friendly staff. I had the sports pedicure with gel and chrome and dip powder manicure with chrome and two nail tips. They did a wonderful job and were able to get me in a little over an hour. Highly recommend. :)

Yanna Tee Maily did a great job. She took her time and was patient. Great attention to detail. They offered refreshments also which was nice. Friendly staff.

D L The ladies at Element Nails are great and very welcoming. Ana is always so kind and accommodating.

Alexis Barber I happened to be in the area and needed a pedicure, so I decided to try this place. Im glad I did. Mailyn did such a great job and she was so sweet! Everyone at the salon seemed nice

Chiquita M I’m new to the area and was looking for a new nail salon saw this nail salon had good reviews. Walked in. No one spoke to me for at least four minutes. Everyone just stared at me then a lady walks up and asked do I speak Spanish I said no everyone in the place started laughing and then said that, even though she had one person in the seat, who’s nails were done that there would be a 45 minute wait and they’re busy come back, worst ever I found this place to be very Unwelcoming and rude to women of color

consuelo miehl Great please! I love their work Extremely talented and professional

Denise J My daughter and I are in once a month for a variety of services (gel fills, pedicures, waxing). They always do a great job. My daughter sees Nancy, who is so sweet with her. I see Van, who always does a great job and lets me sit in silence for my "me" time. Weve been coming here for close to a year (first me and then both of us). I dont see that changing. Very happy with their service.

Bee Howell My husband and I go here frequently for pedicures, acrylics and waxing. Everyone is so talented and fun! Such good energy in the salon. Fast service and quality! Never had a broken nail and we’ve been coming here for over a year.

Sissy McSass I come to the plaza a lot for my son , and needed a pedicure so bad. My tech was Liz, and I ended up getting my nails as well, the gel manicure extensions instead of acrylic. I had never had this before but I feel she educated me appropriately. That was months ago and I come back about every 3 weeks, which is wonderful to because of my schedule. The fact both my toes and nails last that long amazes me. I have such a pleasant time with Liz the entire time, she is just a good spirit to work with. She also is an amazing tech. Although I did put in my requests for both feet and hands she somehow just knew and completed everything to my absolute loveliest expectations. I appreciate her so much and I am glad I have found her and this shop. The shop is beautiful, and clean and everyone is friendly. It is very clean and not overly loud and obnoxious like some shops. They have an amazing array of pedicures which I love, and my nails have yet to disappoint. Liz is creative and caring and really puts the best efforts in. She does not rush me or rush thru my services. I truly am Grateful for Liz and the salon!

Trace Crisp Wow, times 1000! The pedicure was amazing an so relaxing. As a guy, I never thought about doing one, major mistake. After my visit to Goddess Nail Salon, I am hooked. The place is also very clean and they do not have the smells generally associated with a salon. The shop looks brand new and I found out they have been at that location for 10 years. Go and enjoy yourself, as it is a heaven on earth. Trace

Betty Ortiz I just discovered this nail salon near my home, and I’m so glad I did! It’s super convenient, and they accept walk-ins, which is a huge plus. The service was fast, and the lady who did my nails gave great recommendations based on my nail type and personal style. The salon was very clean, and everyone was so friendly. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a reliable and convenient nail salon.

Lamees Younis I had an awful experience at this nail salon. The staff treated me with no respect, and the finish on my nails was the worst I’ve ever had. To top it off, they charged me an outrageous price and included services I didn’t even ask for. When I asked for an adult to handle my nails, I was told the workers’ kids would do it instead, and they were rude about it. I definitely do NOT recommend this place. Avoid Bonie and Lily if you want decent service. They clearly dont care about customer satisfaction.

Nana Almasri I did a walk - in, and I asked before I entered if she (Bonnie) is available for walk in and she said yes, for me and my daughter. She let a child take off my old gel color and that was fine with me , but when I asked her if she is going to be working on my nails she said she cannot and that she has a doctors appointment. And her child will do the nails for me!!!! I am paying for a service and I need it to be served the way I paid for it. So she had an attitude with me and told the child to stop and talked in her language to the child and the child got up and started pressing buttons on the iPad (charging me for something) So I asked Bonnie if there was another adult available to do my nails, and she said "Wait one hour." And so I did wait one hour and got served by Lily. In the pictures you will see how bad the finishing of Lily and Bonnie’s work was. And when I got charged they charged me for things I did not do. Like for example for cutting nails they charged me 3 dollars which is a price we are all aware of for this service, then she charged me twice for fifteen dollars for removal which only one of us did and then she explained that the second fifteen dollars was the price of cutting the nails on your hand!!!! Don’t come to this place it’s a waste of time and money.

Monty Montys It was my first time going there I did foot massage and cleaning. They are way overpriced and professional while she was in the middle of it. She switched with someone else to come do the rest and they keep speaking a language that I can’t understand in a loud voice, I don’t know if they were talking about me or not, and they way over charge and when you explain that she was overcharging me for something she did not do they started speaking loud in a different language and made the scene so I just paid and left the place. I do not advise anyone to go there

Tricia C Updated review: while Le did an excellent job, the nail polish and supplies are not good quality and the polish on my manicure didnt even last a day. pedicure polish cloudy after one week. Even though I was treated like a Queen, I definitely will return but will have to supply my own polish. They definitely try to upsell their specialty finishes. Le did a great job on my manicure and pedicure. He is really good and enjoys his job, he has been doing this for many years. Lynn the manager explained their loyalty program and how I can save on my next visit. I highly recommend Tips and toes but be careful if you use their regular supplies.

Rosana Gastello My husband and I went to get our toes done and I had a nice experience. My husband did not. Bonnie just sat watching her phone while a 14 year old dis his toes. She was sweet but I wasnt aware a child can do such work without a license. $100 later but we wont be going back.

Richard Gregorio Jessica, Kathy, and Nicole are absolutely amazing at what they do! My family and I are so impressed with their work. They are very passionate and knowledgeable about their work, we really appreciated that. My family and I have been to over four different nails and spas and this is by far the absolute best place, no lie! My family and I will definitely be back. We finally found our go to place! I will look forward to coming back! Absolutely an amazing place and I highly recommend that you try this place out if you need a manicure or pedicure! Thank you again ladies! We will see you again in a few weeks!! Can’t wait!

Alyona Safonova I recently visited this nail salon for the first time with a 10-year-old friends child, and we had a mixed experience. We wanted to have a small, simultaneous bachelorette party and asked if we could be seated next to each other and have our manicures done at the same time. Although we received confirmation that this was possible, unfortunately, it didnt quite work out that way. Instead, they did the girls manicure first, followed by mine, which resulted in a longer-than-expected stay. We left feeling tired and hungry. However, the quality of the manicure was exceptionally high, and they did a beautiful job on both of us. This is what bumped my rating up to 4 stars. The total cost for two of us was $115 plus tips. Overall, I would recommend this salon for their excellent work, but perhaps not for simultaneous services.

Diane Bashton This place is the best Ive been too. Atmosphere and comfort. Clean, welcoming professionals. I had the best ever pedicure and SNS, manicured, dipped nails.... ever! I am very picky and I mean the most beautifully done nails ever. Jessica did my nails to perfection and her husband and Jackie both did my sister and my pedicure perfect. We left so relaxed and happy! I will always go Starlux!

Jamie Nemeth Beautiful salon, wonderful service - 10/10 recommend. I went to StarLux with a week old set of nails (from another salon) and Tammy was able to not only totally transform my nails - but she was kind, attentive, and has great attention to detail. My experience was great and I’m so excited to have found my new nail spot!

kaley nemeth Absolutely amazing time and experience! My sister and I went and they did not disappoint! They do so wonderful and take their time! Most definitely will be back

Tannisse Clark The energy in this salon is amazing!!! The technicians immediately make you feel welcome when you come in the door, whether you already have an appointment or you’re just walking in. All the ladies are so attentive, funny, and happy. As someone who dreads having to sit still in a chair for an hour, I enjoy doing it here - and I leave with the most beautiful nails! 10/10 recommend

Judy Nagengast I’ve been coming to Princess Nails for a few years. They always take great care of me. I love their pedicures! I usually get the Volcano one with extra massage and paraffin dip. You also get a hot stone massage! It’s heaven! I highly recommend Princess Nails!

Cindy Granger Nina did a great professional french manicure for me. I have been going here over 8 years. Great pedicures too. Good prices too. Clean salon and always nice ladies.

Hayden Wicks I had a fantastic experience at Princess Nails! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The salon was clean and well-organized, and they used high-quality products. My manicure turned out beautifully, with even application and no smudges. I highly recommend Princess Nails to anyone looking for excellent nail place!

Patricia Disney Thank you for making time to see me at the last minute before I went on vacation. Everyone liked my pink nails and the shape of them. I also get a lot of compliments when you do my eyebrows, you always find a way to make them stylish.

Amelia Farrell A couple of weeks ago, my mother and I had a very unpleasant experience at Bellas salon. We went there on a Friday afternoon and the salon was empty when we arrived. When we asked about nail color options, I inquired if they had OPI powder, to which they immediately said "no." That was okay with me, as I understand that not every salon carries it. However, they kept trying to persuade us to get a regular gel manicure instead of the dip manicure we had originally requested. We repeated several times that we wanted a dip manicure and regular polish for our pedicures. When they showed us to our seats, they separated us, with one of us getting a manicure and the other getting a pedicure. This seemed odd, especially since we were the only customers there. Most nail salons usually try to keep you together with the person you came with. When I sat down for my manicure, they continued to push for the regular gel polish instead of the powder I wanted. However, when I looked around, I saw a whole display of OPI powder, which is what I had asked for in the first place. During the manicure, the nail technician missed a bunch of spots and ended up leaving a lot of powder on my skin. The main issue I had was at the checkout. Online, it stated that the gel dip manicure was $40. However, when I checked out, they charged me $55. When I asked about the price difference, they said it was because of the color I picked, which was just red, and that the online price should have been $45. Throughout the entire experience, they never mentioned once that my color choice was more expensive or that the prices were different. I do not recommend going to this salon due to the lack of honesty and the poor quality of services.

Gail F I will never go back to this place again. When came in for a pedi and mani i was pursaded to get a full set as my nails were short. The pedi was fine until the lady came out from the back and started doing my nails standing up. She was applying the tips and they were crooked and did not fit my nails i kept telling her she said i fix. when i get a pedi i like to relax this was not relaxing. I told her this is terrible what you did. When she said she was done i said what??? Look at my nails their not even and do not fit my nail. She tried to apply more product. I told her to stop i took the nail file and filed my own nails. The nail polish was thinned and did not cover correctly. Time to pay, they charged me more then what they had on the board and was discussed. The man said oh well you can give that as my tip. I said the service sucked why would i give a tip. That is illegal to charge more then what you have on your board. He said i dont know what to tell you. I could of told him a few things but just left very unhappy. The women certainly was not professional. Im sure she was not licensed. The worse nail experience of my life. In response: I was given a price before you started I received nothing extra. Not even gel polish. When a customer is telling you to please stop. You should listen. You cut me several times. I was a nail tech and my sister in law was the president of the national nail technicians. I am sure I know professional and non professional. Unfortuately, i would of tipped the man better for the pedi, when he said the extra can be for my tip that threw me off. Nothing stated tip is added in. Not acknowledging the complaint and making excuses is also unprofessional. A simple sorry you were not happy would have been good.

Susie Kat This is my go to spa for my pedicures and nails! Very relaxing and the lavender pedicure blend is so fragrant and relaxing. Having been a flight attendant for many years I have had my pedicures in so many spas. This spa is relaxing and the energy is so calm. All my friends love how special they feel when they come here. The owners are so kind and accommodating they are thorough and gifted, refreshingly not driven by the dollar like many local nail salons and they do not do rushed work. The pedicures last and I get so many compliments.I have suffered with ingrown toenails for years and even my podiatrist commented on how well my pedicures are done. A+++

Am The lady that did my pedicure did a great job. The gentleman that did my gel manicure not so much I thought something was weird that I did not get a scrub or hot towel but was not sure if that was included because I looked at the menu fast! Well today I looked at the website not only does it say on the website 10 cheaper it should include all that! After he was done with gel polish he put a tiny bit of lotion on and didn’t even really massage it in. Edit I called like they said an they offered a 5.00 refund today is day 3 gel manicure allready lifting

Jade Coleman I like this place, it was my first time coming here and I was not disappointed. Everything was so clean and bright, the staff were friendly and my nails came out great! I did a manicure and a pedicure. The woman doing the pedicure was a little rough on my cuticles making that part not pleasant and leaving me with a scrape on one toe, but everything else was fine. I brought my own polish which we did on my toes, but Connie talked me into a dip for my manicure. I have a baby and I was getting my nails done for the holidays (which include parties). Connie insisted on doing something that would last, look good and and could take a beating. I am happy I listened to her! She made my nails look AMAZING and she made them smooth everywhere so nothing would scratch my babe. She really took care to make my nails perfect. I just got the basic manicure and pedicure, but they had way more options, one being a peppermint pedicure that I REALLY want to do next time, it looked heavenly! I just didn’t have the 45 minutes for that with a manicure right after. I would definitely recommend this nail salon and I will definitely visit again.

Erica Shaben Where to start. Took 3 hours for a gel manicure and two pedicures. Had someone start taking off my gel on my hands during my pedicure only to be told to stop by the owner and start on someone else that walked in instead. Leaving me with my hands soaking in alcohol for the next hour. The pedicures were very lack luster and not much of a massage. The manicure was the worst part. Pretty sure the owner was the one who did mine and she would start and stop every 10 mins to do something else. She didnt say one word to me: She tore my cuticles and skin up when buffing filing. She did not clean up my nails during painting color (red polish) on them. When the service was all said and done I had gel cured all over my fingers. All she did was use her nail to get the excess polish off that was everywhere. Which was red and stained my finger tips. Not even 3 days later my WHOLE GEL NAIL POPPED OFF. Then a few days later the next gel nail popped off.... On top of them falling off when theyre gel? They are bubbling and uneven and each nail is a different red considering they didnt get the same number of even coats. Overpriced and will never go back Next day update: two more nails popped off

Christy Dennison I had a pedicure and full set of acrylic nails done and was the best experience I’ve at a nail salon in a long time. Kathy did my nails and she did a fabulous job and a man did my pedicure unfortunately I can’t remember his name but it was the best pedicure I’ve ever had!

Gaby Ernst I went to get my acrylics removed and get a regular polish on. The woman doing it DESTROYED my nails beds! I felt my fingers burning and when I expressed pain she didn’t say anything and continued, if it wasn’t because I was with a friend there I would have just walked away. The polish fell 2 days later but the damage on my beds isn’t repaired yet. It’s been 2 months and I still see the damage. Will never come back and you shouldn’t go, it’s unpredictable if you’ll have the same person that serviced me.

foreigntyler My first time ever coming to get a manicure, Lena took great care of me and made sure that I had the most amazing experience ever. I’m so glad that she was the first person to take care of me. 10/10 would recommend asking for Lena. I will be a regular.

Kim Very happy with my experience at A&M, definitely recommend and will be back. They do beautiful work and make you super comfortable. Ive had nails before and they always seem to come out a little crooked because of my super narrow nail beds, but these came out perfectly straight and beautiful. Love everyone here, they work hard ❤️

Kyra Waldron Sue did an amazing job with my nails! She did exactly what I wanted and helped me to pick the exact colors I wanted! I will definitely come back. I give this place 5 stars and I will recommend to my friends :)

Paige Nordeen Love the ladies and this nail salon! I live down the street and have become a return patron because they always do such a beautiful job in a peaceful and relaxing environment. I won’t go anywhere else! Perfect every time! And so friendly. They also offer wine and amazing foot and leg massages.

John Not exaggerating….Best nail service. Very reasonable prices. I’ve paid at least 100 more in Tampa. Extremely clean …good energy…precise and really good at what they do. They did an amazing job. Very accommodating no issues and modern designs available.

Rocio Greco Got my nails done yesterday with Q and he was amazing! Would highly recommend this salon. Immediately after walking in I was greeted with a smile and then received amazing service from there! Super friendly, attentive to details, they truly want your nails to be perfect! Great manicure and pedi :)

FIONA FIRES Le was amazingly patient and meticulous with my pedicure. He was smiling the whole time even though he had some serious damage control because I have not had a pedicure for 3 months. Yikes. The owner, q, was friendly and kind. We called ahead after speaking to a few places and my man chose this gem. They make sure to give the customer what they want and do it with precision and efficiency. The establishment has a bougie and classy vibe, but is absolutely stunning and has a warm welcoming vibe. I can see that Le is fatigued after doing my feet, but I would definitely recommend this place to anybody around here who expects nothing short of perfection. I got a full set French manicure coffin shape, and a pedicure with gel sparkly silver like tinsel on the Christmas tree. It’s that time of year!

Chelsea Anderson Love love love Mia nails, they are clean, great quality, kind and amazing. I feel comfortable here and they do a great job each time. A big thing for me with nail salons is to feel like it’s “my” nail salon and I’m comfortable speaking up, asking questions etc. and I feel this here. Haven’t had a nail salon I continued to go to in YEARS. I bring my kids as well and they love it.

Nyrin Naomee Very happy with the service. The technician was skilled, meticulous with his work and did exactly what I was looking for. They were friendly and offered reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place. Will be coming back for any future nail needs.
