As someone who's been getting their nails done every 2 weeks for 15 years, this was a horrible experience. Beware this salon does not honor the pricing on the wall or lives up to its reviews. After requesting a fill , Sandy left my nails bubbly and uneven, when I asked her to fix it , she did but to my surprise, charged me extra when it came time to pay to fix what she didn't get right in the first place. What a ridiculous business practice to charge the customer for your mistakes. Never coming back and warning all to spend your money elsewhere. read more

My daughter and I came here a few weeks ago to celebrate the start of summer. She got a manicure and I got a pedicure from Josie. Josie was gentle and thorough. I love the flower she painted on my big toes, too. Both my nails and my daughter's turned out beautifully. We will come back here. read more

Tracy and her team were absolutely amazing! First time in today to fix my manicure from an another salon and I was so pleasantly surprised by the amazing service here. I don't think I've ever had a nail tech be so personal, friendly and truly care about me as a client. Tracy made sure I didn't leave without making sure I loved my nails and they did an amazing job. So glad I found this salon! My new go to for sure! read more

I reaaaally hate to be this person, but my experience was so awful I can't imagine somebody else going and getting ripped off like I did.... First things first. I had two nail techs cancel on me for "family emergencies" the day before my birthday, and really wanted to get them done prior to today so I wanted to give a salon a chance once again since I figured what could be so bad....i should've just been patient and saved my money. I came across this place because I saw it was close by to me and they had 5 stars. Their work looked good so I tried to see if they could accommodate me last minute which they were able to. So I said okay cool awesome! I asked for a pedicure, didn't get asked what kind of pedicure I wanted. The gal doing my feet cut my toe, and I kid you not was trying to stop the bleeding my pressing down on my toe with the towel and throwing acetone on it to stop the bleeding the entire time. Mind you she was digging into my toe with her fingernail and clearly the bleeding wasn't stopping because she wouldn't stop pressing down and applying pressure on it. Overall the pedi experience was terrible but my toes came out OK. So I said to myself "hmmm that was the most shitty experience but my toes look fine so I'll keep my mouth shut" but then it got worse. The poor nail tech was very kind but my goodness my nails look horrible. I asked for something simple since I figured maybe they couldn't do the normal crazy designs I typically go for. I opted for a simple pink and glitter ombré and a white French tip outline. I usually get gel x and was glad to find a salon that did gel x. My nails came out crooked, the glitter gel bumpy and uneven, and honestly I just was not satisfied with the experience what so ever. So come to pay, and then when I hear the total I almost had a heart attack. $125 for this crap?!? Are you kidding me?!? Not even my nail tech charges that much for something as basic as what I got!!!! Talk about a rip off. I have never paid that much for shitty service (even for great service!) in my life, and I had never had such a terrible experience at a salon like that. I am very disappointed because my birthday is tomorrow and I'm quite embarrassed about my nails... my toe is in pain from it getting cut and getting it burnt by acetone and all the pressure from the pedicurist's nail pressing down on it and I am more mad at myself for not being patient and waiting until the following week to do my nails with my nail tech. Now I am out of $125, have a hurt toe and crappy gel x nails. I'd love to dispute or even better just plain get a full refund of my service but doubt I'd win a dispute over something like this. Sorry for the long rant but my experience was so horrible and I am extremely disappointed since I was looking forward to getting a relaxing pedicure and a nice set of birthday nails for my birthday tomorrow. I will never come back here again, and highly suggest not coming here especially if you're trying to pay $125 for shitty service. read more

Desperately needed my nails done and found this place. Shelia did an amazing job and took her time and made sure I was happy. I'm very picky about my nails so when I say I left happy, that means a lot. Good conversation and clean/sanitized tools. (TIP: They will give you a discount if you pay with cash which was cool.) read more

I hate writing this review because the nail tech was so nice during the whole appointment. I'm just trying to save people time and money. I came in to get my gel manicure taken off and have a new set put on. There was a glob of gel on my skin that was leftover and once I put my hands in the UV light it burned pretty bad. I didn't notice it was on my finger until the UV light hit it. The thickness of gel was way too much. As well as that, the design on my nails were uneven and sloppy. I would've appreciated her just being honest telling me that she didn't do designs at all and I would've picked just a color. I had to get my nails redone at a different place two days later. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I liked the ambiance, the pricing, the owner was super nice. But my nails didn't even last a day. I drove home sat in my car for a bit so they can dry even more, went to target,grocery store. Washed some dishes. And my nails had chipped bad! Yes I know I didn't get gel. But I can paint my nails myself and they last longer. Also the gentleman that did my nails cut the crap out of my finger. It was very bloody! He still painted my nails, which now has blood mixed into the paint, which then means blood was in the nail polish bottle! He tried to stop it with multiple things, but did touch my finger and the blood with the top of the drops! All of that is super unsanitary!!!! Blood should most definitely not be touching things you use on multiple people! At least my pedicure was good. So far. I truly was gentle on my nails because I knew I didn't do gel and I wanted it to last at least almost a week... but I couldn't make it through the day. read more

I am seriously impressed with this place... I went here for the first time yesterday and was unhappy with the shape of my gel x nails I received. I went back today and explained my situation and they told me it was due to my nail shape and that they would be happy to redo them and try a different style. I was sat immediately and my nails were redone in the exact way I wanted. The new owner is a true gem and really cares about her customers. Needless to say, this is my new go-to for nails and I am thoroughly pleased and pleasantly surprised with how professional the new owner was. Love you guys!! read more

My nails looked amazing when they were finished! Highly recommend coming here to get your nails done!

I absolutely love Oasis, the new owner has really taken the place to new heights. It's nice & clean, which I'm very attune to when it comes to any type of salon. I've been here multiple times now and gotten gel pedis and dip mani's. The technicians have always been professional and courteous. I have searched all over San Marcos for a good nail salon and hadn't been able to find one until now. Save yourself the trouble and start and finish here! read more

I usually don't write bad reviews but I'm just so taken back by my experience here. I've been going to this location for 2 years now and I've never had a problem. I had built a good relationship with most of the workers here but now they are all gone! I decided to still stay here because I love the location and the salon is pleasing to the eye but unfortunately I realized it has become your typical chop shop. My service last month felt rushed and sloppy but I decided to be understanding because they were undergoing new management and I assumed everyone was just adjusting. But my service this past week was beyond awful. Two different people switched off of my pedicure because they were being rushed. They did NOT change their gloves when being moved around i was so appalled The tools they used were DIRTY. To preface this I have NEVER had a problem with fungus before and I had to take a visit to urgent care for an infection on my foot and one of my fingers. They told me it was most likely due to the unsanitary service. The overcharging. This place is not honest anymore. I completely understand raising the prices especially in this economy but what I don't understand is the ridiculous random fees. The man doing my nails did not cut my cuticles (which is ALWAYS included in a manicure service) and when I asked him to he said something in a different language to another girl and started aggressively cutting them (he cut me twice) and at the end of my service the total was 20 dollars more than what the menu said it would be. When I asked the girl that was ringing me up about it she spoke to the guy in another language and he replied and she turned to me and said it was that much because he had to cut a lot of cuticle and my nails were long.. I got a dip manicure on my natural nails how were they too long?!? Long story short it breaks my heart to have to leave this place after years of coming here. read more

I loved my nails! I've been going here for about 2 years now and they are my go to place! They deliver with every design I ask for, I've gotten so many compliments on this ghost face design for Halloween. Their environment is so pretty and amazing. Tracy did these nails and she is the best! I highly recommend going here, not only are do they offer acrylic but they also offer gel x, best nail place ever! read more
