The service and the atmosphere were wonderful. I was able to walk in and only had to wait barely 5 minutes before sitting in the pedicure chair.

Picture perfect!! I brought my 10 year old daughter here to get a "back to school" manicure and it came out exactly like she wanted it. When I called to make the appointment, I told JP that my daughter was interested in acrylic nails. She asked me to text her a picture of my daughter's nails and she followed up with a call, saying that my daughter's natural nails are so healthy and beautiful and she recommended a gel manicure. I was so grateful that she took the time to follow up with me and gave me a recommendation that was right for my daughter. She was so friendly and professional, we will definitely be back when we return to the area!

This place is amazing! She did an amazing job on my wedding French gel manicure, and also on my cousin's acrylic nails! She also went out of her way to help my mom get a last minute gel polish removal. I highly recommend if you're looking for a good place in Corolla!

I didn't have time to get my nails done before I made it here before vacation and I'm so glad I didn't. Beach Nails was way better than the nail salon I go to back in PA. Thank you ladies for the lovely Mani and Pedi ! And the are so friendly and courteous :) I will now wait to get my nails done when I'm on vacation from now on. I would post my photos of my feet but I hate feet LOL

I'm from NY but come to OBX frequently. I visited Beach Nails with my sister a couple years ago for manis and we had a great experience so I decided to come back for a gel mani and pedi. I called today and was able to get in. I didn't need to wait upon arrival either. Claudia did my pedi and the owner, Jan did my gel mani. Not only do my nails look amazing but I love it here. They are a small shop and they are personable and professional. It would be my go -to place if I lived here year round. Do not go anywhere else. The shop is clean and welcoming. read more

Stopped there to ask if they have any availability or I can get an appointment. The person was talking to someone on the phone and had mentioned the next day's availability which the caller did not take. Told me there is no availability for the next two days when I know she had availability for the next day. I told her I will think and call later. As I was leaving, she proceeded to speak in a different language with the other person working and both of them started laughing. Definitely would not go there even if she is amazing if she cracks jokes on someone's expense. read more

I would only ever come here again if I had NO other option. While my toe nails look ok, I had several issues with this place: -I got white polish and there are specks of black stuff from her floor that got on my polish when drying under the fan so 2 toes look messed up -we made an appointment for 2 people and only 1 person was working -the lady working wasn't very nice -she didn't start nails until 15 minutes after our appointment time (the hours say they open at 10am and that was our appointment time but she was doing someones nails when we got there) -it's $18 just to get a cut, shape and polish change -the pedicure chair she sat me in didnt work so the whole time I had the rollers digging into my lower back and couldn't move them. I tried with the remote and she didn't acknowledge it was broken. I really hate leaving negative reviews but this just wasn't pleasant. We come to the beach pretty often too smh Guess we should always get them done before we come! read more

I received a gel manicure with a design and pedicure, and the attention to detail and care was outstanding - from the foot rub to the gel polish application, nothing was skipped over or done haphazardly. They even gave me directions on how to keep my manicure looking good for weeks to come, and gave me tips on cuticle care. I've been coming here since I was in highschool, and this is my favorite salon out of any place I've ever been! Thank you guys for the wonderful service. read more

I took my two daughters here to get manicures, and honestly, if I could give 0 stars, I would. The lady who worked on their nails was extremely rude and impatient. She accidentally put on gel for my daughter's french tip, and immediately began cursing in front of her, saying things such as the f word and s word. However, it didn't stop there. My other daughter didn't like her style and asked if she could re-do it, and the lady groaned and continued to curse under her breath. Absolutely unbelievable. We have been to many different nail salons and have never experienced such poor service. read more

Had a great experience at Beach Nails! Was visiting the Outer Banks and in dire need of a manicure and pedicure. At first, when I called the salon they did not have availability, but called me back soon after to offer an appointment. Upon arrival, I felt very safe and comfortable with the way in which COVID restrictions were being implemented by this business. Each client is asked to wash their hands immediately upon entry and required to wear a mask. Plexiglass was secured between the manicurist and myself and my hands were even sanitized at the competition of the service. Additionally, the salon purchased a machine that disinfects cash. Aside from their COVID updates, the manicurist was very pleasant and provided a very thorough service. So glad that I found this place and would highly recommend it to locals and visitors of the OBX area! read more

When I got there, her mom (she works in the business end of things) offered me water and/or wine! Never had that before at a salon and was a nice touch. Julie was very thorough in completing my perm. Even when she missed two hairs (exactly two; I'm not exaggerating) by my face, she redid the roller! She was super considerate of me when I told her that my neck tends to be pretty strained when I'm in the sink. She changed little things that went a long way, like applying the neutralizer with me sitting up instead of in the sink like she normally would, so I didn't have to be there longer than necessary. She was also quite patient! When the perm was setting, she started to grab a quick bite of lunch in the back and was not upset in the slightest when I came over to say that one of the rollers had popped apart; she just came on out and fixed it happily! I would have been disappointed like "man I just sat down!" I got a bit of a cut after the perm also, and she did great with that. She sent me away with a written note for my next stylist about what she did today, because I'd struggled in the beginning to communicate which rollers I'd had in the past/how curly I'd gone before, things like that. So she not only did a great job on this today but also made it easier for me for future visits to stylists. In many ways she just went the extra mile. Additionally, it felt like a community experience because the hairdresser beside her chatted with me as well as her client. It was a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere for sure! Overall I'm quite satisfied. If I'm ever dying to change my hair again while I'm visiting the OBX, I know where I will go! She told me they do weddings too, by the way!

Absolutely LOVE Beach Nails!!!! This is my second year getting my nails done on vacation here in Corolla. Last year, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Beach Nails, the sweet owner squeezed me in for a same day appointment, and gave me a beautiful set of acrylic nails! She did amazing work, and took her time making sure my nails were perfection. She also was very kind and made us feel so welcome during the entire service :) Flash forward to this year, and I knew I had to stop in to see her again! And the sweetest thing, she remembered us from the year before!! This year we decided to do a Gel Manicure that was not only a cheaper option than acrylics, but is also less damaging to the nail (very impressed she did not push me to the more expensive service, as many other nails salons do). I've gotten my nails done for many years, and I can confidently say she is the best nail tech I've ever been to, and has greatly exceeded my expectations on every level. The only downside is the fact I live 12 hours away from Beach Nails! I would definitely come once a month if I lived close enough! Out of everything to do here in OBX this nail salon is a MUST, and I'm already looking forward to stopping in again the next time I am in the Corolla area. Attached are pictures from July 2020 & July 2021, Acrylic Set and Gel Manicure from Beach Nails. read more

I am a local in the Outer Banks and I have been a client at Beach nails for 12 years since they opened. The people who work there are the nicest, kindest and caring workers I have ever seen. They treat me as if I was their personal friend and over the years have always treated my family the same when they came to visit. I would strongly encourage anyone who is visiting in the Duck and Corolla area to get your nails done at Beach nails. Their practice is only to book the number of clients that they can take, not overbooking like some other salons do. They never rush their clients and they will give you the time that is necessary for your service. I would strongly recommend an appointment during the summer. they accommodate walkins whenever possible but they are extremely busy during the summer! read more

I don't usually write reviews but I thought I would leave this one for the girls at Beach Nails. I want to thank them for the fantastic job they did for my whole party. My cousin is getting married while down here and six of us had an appointment for a mani-pedi combo. I really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the attention to detail. Even though the place was busy and clearly popular everyone working was having a good time and it just made everything fun for us. There's not too much to say, but thanks again for making our day special. I'll be back in Corolla with just my family in the fall and I will stop in again. Have a great summer! read more

For a number of years now, my Uncle treats the family to a Corolla beach vacation. We come from Philadelphia, Lancaster, Detroit and beyond. Pedicures are a regular for me, but a rare treat for my Uncle and several of the men in the family. PJ is the proprietor at Beach Nails and she and her team (usually Lam) have become a much anticipated tradition every year. They take great care of us, especially my uncle and his wife who has some very serious disabilities. They are true professionals with heart and we wouldn't dare go to another nail salon when in the area. read more

This was my first time visiting Corolla. I am from California and came on a vacation with friends to start the summer. Once here I actually could not believe there was a nail salon as the town is so small and seasonal seeming. Anyway, my three friends and I made appointments for Mani/Pedi at Beach Nails last Wednesday. All I can say is "wow!". The owner is really nice and the place is super clean and cute. We all were happy with the service and would return. Many thanks for adding an unexpected pleasure to our girls trip to Corolla. read more

We come down every year and make it a point to go to Beach Nails. The owner/manager is very informative regarding nail care and showed me how other salons were ripping me off with unnecessary services. She made my nails look the best they ever have! Not to mention, when I went back for a chip repair two days later, she charged me nothing. She is obviously not in the business just for the money. She likes her customers and what she does and it shows!! We will definitely be returning! read more

We had no time for pedi's before vacation, so my sister and I went looking for a place at the beach to get them done. So glad we found Beach Nails! They actually did a better job than my salon at home. Although they'll take walk-ins, it's best to make an appointment since there are only 2 people working. It wasn't a problem to get an appointment though, even in prime beach season. Friendly vibe, high quality and cleanliness. Highly recommend! read more

JP has the best boutique nail salon on the beach. In fact, best gel manicure anywhere on East Coast - her attention to detail makes it last a month! The salon is friendly, clean, and provides a safe and relaxing environment for your attentive mani/pedi from JP and Nam. Lots of great color choices from best brands. Your high quality mani/pedi will last much longer than your OBX vacation. Best kept secret of year round locals at the beach! read more

I would give 10 stars if I could! I called for a mani appt for my daughter a couple of hours before closing, and the owner immediately offered to stay after hours to fit her in. She had no idea that we had just experienced a less than satisfying experience at a different salon earlier in the day. She was so sweet, and took her time to redo my daughter's nails. Now they look amazing!! Thank you so much for everything.... read more

A bunch of our family and friends spend a week annually in Corolla, NC. This year we celebrated our 12th year with our usual group of approximately 15 people. We make our appointments before we leave our respective homes to ensure we have spots at the Shop. We have never been disappointed. We have always been happy with the products and services. We highly recommend Beach Nails if you are in the area. Dan and Faye read more

Beach Nails is the best on the Outer Banks! I found them about 6 years ago when I needed a couple nails fixed while at our beach house. Now every time I visit I make sure to stop in for a pedi. She always remembers us and the details we have shared in past conversation. Very friendly salon! Highly recommend you to stop in for a little pampering! You won't regret it! read more

Beach Nails in Corolla is the best. We called in the morning and scheduled 3 pedicures for later in the morning. The owner and her colleague were very friendly, thorough, and professional. My feet are soft and smooth, nails perfectly shaped, and colored to perfection. The salon is very clean and has a good selection of gel colors. read more
