Best SPA mani-pedi ever! Henry did a great job and my poor feet were so grateful. I recently had surgery and my feet and legs needed a lot of TLC and they got it. My nails grow like weeds, but my 80-year-old feet need pampering. Podiatrists no longer soak your feet to cut nails - get a pedi instead. read more

Unfortunately, the quality of this salon has declined over the years. Today, my mother and grandmother and I went in for mani-pedis, and we were honestly taken aback by the overall cost. My mother received a standard manicure with no color, just two clear coats, and was charged $75. My grandmother received a gel manicure on her natural nails with no acrylics and was charged $90. The pedicure pricing seemed accurate. The express pedicure was $30, with an additional $15 charge for gel, which still feels excessive. Beyond the pricing, we felt rushed throughout the appointment, and the staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. There was very little communication or customer service during the visit. Had I been there when my grandmother paid, I absolutely would have questioned the pricing, especially after looking up the pricing on their website. Given the lack of transparency and the unusually high charges, it genuinely felt like she was taken advantage of. read more

Feels very rushed, constantly doing other things rather than focusing on the customer

Great pedicure, but my acrylic nails looked terrible! I went in for a fill and left feeling like I still needed a fill. I was picking acrylic out from under my nails and around the cuticle throughout the day. I also had to file them to try to straighten them out seeing as I had to live with them until my next available day off to get them redone. I wouldn't go back. read more

What a great spa day with my girlfriend! Truly glad we picked O Nails Spa to go to. Ying and Linsey did our pedicure's and they were so friendly and professional. The entire staff was tentative and provided good customer service. I was glad they took reservations and we enjoyed our deluxe pedicures. Prices are typical for salons, but was happy with the care and timing provided. Will be coming back in the near future. read more

O Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

My nails are always wonderful when I go to O Nails Spa. I get the dip mani and regular polish pedi. I usually see Tina and she is gentle, helpful about color choice and perfectly designs the shape I ask for. The salon is extremely clean and friendly and I appreciate being able to make an appointment. I have been going to O Nails for two years because the experience is above and beyond my expectations. read more

I never leave reviews but I don't want anyone else to go through what i went through. I asked for a a full set of acrylic nails with a French tip design. After leaving the salon I took a good look at my nails and they were not (in my opinion) worth the $70 i paid for. The nails were flat with no apex, multiple nails were crooked and the pink/nude polish that was used was completely see through and you could see the texture from them buffing my nails. I went back the next day and asked for them to take them off. They did offer to have another tech put on a new set but my nails were already thin, brittle and damaged from them putting them on. They did take them off for no charge but would not refund me. Would not recommend going there for acrylics. read more

The last three gel pedicures I have had peeled off within 8-10 days. I don't think they clean the lotion off the nail or use the led light enough. I'm not a nail specialist so I don't know but I'm done patronizing this business. read more

I was referred to this nail salon by a local. I'm visiting from California. I was very disappointed in the way I was treated. I asked to have my nails and feet done at the same time. Something that is very standard practice. The woman that came over was rude and I asked for someone else. Then the man that came over to do my nails was also rude. I asked for them to match the nail color with my feet and they didn't so I had to request a plain white. Lastly, the woman doing my pedicure could not speak any English and was saying something to the man doing my nails and she started laughing. When I asked what about the man made up an excuse. I've never been treated so poorly in a nail salon. read more

I got my nails done two days ago and have already experienced lifting I've been super careful with them and my nails were done super nicely so this is pretty disappointing read more

O Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Only posting this because as i keep looking at my nails, i keep getting more and more angry. I went to get a fill today and my normal nail salon was closed for the week so i had to go elsewhere. I went to state college because i don't really like any other nail salons around here, and decided to go to Nail Spa on North Atherton Street. I previously had colored acrylic powder, to which i was told i needed to pick an opaque color to cover the red, because they didn't have the acrylic powder at their store. I said that was totally fine, so i went with this nude. Not only did this gentleman who did my nails barely sand after he did my fill, but he didn't shave down my original nails to make sure they didn't look thick. He noticed all this going wrong, as he messed up my gel polish 3 times, and missed spots. I clearly saw him look at the mistakes and simply moved on. When he was finished, he took the file and re filed all my nails, taking all the paint off the sides of ALL my nails. I have never in all my years of having my nails done, have something this bad and ugly happen to me. It ended up being $50. I gave him $60, not noticing just how bad this all was, because my hands were under the UV lights i barely got a good look at my nails until i got in my car, and my cousin pointed out how thick they were, as well as all the sanded off paint. I don't really know how to handle the situation, because i refuse drive the whole way back over there and sit, to possibly have my nails look like this again, so i wanted to at least try to save any other person wanting to get their nails done. read more

The staff at O Nails are very friendly and I have been a customer of theirs for a while. However, they never take me in on time for my appointment. Today I was told to arrive 10 minutes before my dip powder appointment. I arrived early and then proceeded to wait 50 minutes before I was helped by anyone. My nails were finished within 20 minutes. It was extremely rushed and sloppy. Also my nails were $65 (not including gratuity) and I only got one tip put onto a finger. When I asked about them charging me that much (because usually it is $50 or $55), they told me it was because I asked for my nails rounded. In my opinion, a round nail shape should 100% already be included in the initial price, not an additional price add on. I will not be back to O Nails. Back to B&B I go... read more

I love this place!! Every employee is so nice and so good at what they do. I've never had a bad experience here. O'Nails ALWAYS kills it, I walk out with baddie nails every time :) read more

I've been going to O Nails for over a year. At first I was annoyed by the appointment only policy. Now I know why it works. I never have to wait- EVER. If you want a good mani/pedi, ask for Allan or Ling. Also, just splurge and get the gel services. It's $15 more, but it lasts weeks and weeks longer. I've yet to be disappointed. read more

Everyone is really friendly and professional I love that you need to schedule an appointment because there is not waiting. It is very clean and organized. I had the most amazing pedicure! Get the deluxe it's worth it! read more

If you're looking to get your nails done in State College this is easily the best place. Since getting my acrylics done here 4 years ago, I've never wanted to go anywhere else even when I go home for breaks. Ken and Helen both make such delicate and pretty fills and can do any Pinterest design. I was so surprised to see that there were negative reviews when so many of my friends and I go here and have never had an issue. I love the work they do and can't recommend enough! read more

Okay so I was looking forward cuz it was a nice salon, and I wouldn't be commenting this if I didn't genuinely feel upset. I've never written a bad review but here was my problems. 1.) first off (not the biggest deal) I had to wait 40 minutes after I scheduled my appointment. 2.) Ken hit on me the entire time he did my nails. That was so uncomfortable for me. I did not ask to get hit on while I'm sitting in a chair can't move. He pointed out a picture on my phone and then asked for my number. He's so much older than me and I'm 18! Not appropriate AT ALL!!! 3.) My Nail broke off 2 days after I got them done. Not only that, I was typing at my computer when it fell off. It ripped off my entire underneath nail bed and hurt like a ... 2 days?? Come on. read more

I had a great experience today. Much better than what all of these reviews scared me into expecting. I had been to O nails a few years ago and did not have the best experience, but today it felt like I went to a completely different place! I called ahead of time today and they said that they didn't take appointments the day of and recommended that I do a walk in appointment. I came in for a fill/gel manicure and waited only about 15 minutes. I was indecisive about a color, so my nail tech, Tommy, took me to the back wall and helped me pick out a color and gave great advice. Tommy put a lot of effort into my nails, took his time with filing and shaping my nails, and checked often to make sure that I was satisfied with his work. Of course, my cuticle was nicked, but I have never been to a nail salon where this didn't happen! It's expected, and not something that I think should be complained about in all of these reviews!! Tommy immediately stopped what he was doing and apologized as well as cleaned up the cut and stopped the bleeding. Other salons have ignored that, but he did not and took care of it quickly. The manicure came out exactly like I asked for, and the girl who Tommy helped before me had amazing coffin style acrylic nails with a pretty rhinestone design. The price is definitely affordable, with $35 for a fill/gel (which I have paid at literally every salon I have been to back home). The ONLY reason that I'm giving this 4/5 stars is because the manicure I got is pretty standard. I'm not blown away, but this manicure is just as good as I one I usually get at home. I'm very glad that I gave O nails a second chance. Go see my guy Tommy he's awesome. read more

O Nails Spa - Acrylic fill with gel - Nail Salons Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

I got a french manicure with dip powder and gel, it didn't even last a week. So, I went again and asked them to redo it hoping that they would do it for free.. because if dip is going to last a week - what is the point of dip. This means you did not do a good job! The woman looked at my nails and said hmmm my customers' nails do not chip like that. Do you frequently tap your nails? As she was asking the very well-thought-out question, she rounded her hand and tapped the round nail drying station in front of her. I only could say "No?" Then, we sit down and she says to me "YOU REALIZE YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, RIGHT!" ... I have no words. In that moment,I do not think she remembered what kindness was. Who says that? read more

First visit, very satisfied! Super bright, clean & friendly. Had pedicure service & was very happy with the TLC I received. Ashley was terrific! Friendly, professional & thorough. Will return again for sure. read more

I've been to probably every nail salon in State College, and I've previously been to O Nail Spa. I returned to O Nail Spa because I took a break from getting my nails done and felt like I needed to pamper myself before an upcoming trip. I was aware that the salon had new management and recently remodeled, so I decided to check it out. I made an appointment online a week in advance, and then changed my appointment on Friday night to a time the next day because my schedule changed for the day I originally scheduled. I showed up 10 minutes early and was promptly greeted and instructed to pick out my color. There were plenty of colors to choose from, and the salon was very clean. I took a seat for just a few minutes until Lingling came to take me back for my deluxe pedicure. Lingling immediately informed me that I had booked a full set of acrylics and that if I wanted that she wouldn't be able to do them for me but if I didn't mind doing dip she would be happy to dip my nails. I did switch to a full set of dip nails and it did not disappoint! She also explained everything she was doing, and was very friendly. I really enjoyed chatting with her, and how thorough she was with my pedicure and my dip nails. I also asked for a Valentine's themed design and she did a great job free-handing the design. I will definitely return to this salon in the near future, and plan to book with Lingling because I felt so comfortable with her. She didn't rush my pedicure or manicure, and if something was off with my nails I felt like I could tell her and she wouldn't dismiss my concerns. Highly recommend giving the salon a try, and schedule in advance if possible because they get busy! read more

I asked for a specific type of design which they said they would do and they completely messed up. I got my nails done a week ago and they are already chipping. The worst part is that I got gel. They completely were overbooked and nails are completely messed up because of how rushed the service was. read more

Visiting from out of town, took us in last minute. Very nice. Fantastic manicure! Very quick service but very well done! Great color selection. read more

I called 2 hours ahead and they said they could schedule me. I show up, and the guy is going between me and another girl? He puts tips on me and then works on the other girl for half an hour while I'm sitting there unable to do anything because all I have on are nail tips. Finally, he gets to me and the entire time he's talking about how he's got to do them quick! So Fast!! It is obvious by his work. The edges of my nails are so jagged and I have acrylic all in my cuticles. His name was Kay, and this place has lost my business forever. read more

This nail salon is absolutely perfect. Other places usually are over priced with low-quality maintenance and customer service. However, I highly recommend Ken for nails. He was very meticulous about everything he was doing, while making sure I was satisfied. I will always come back here to get my nails done from Ken. 10/10! read more

UNSAFE and UNSANITARY I wouldn't mind the fact that the customer service is lacking and the male techs are tacky and rude but I came here for a regular manicure andI was helped by a clueless tech who was deeply incompetent. He 1) didn't properly remove all my nail polish 2) clearly had no idea what he was doing and aggressively cut my cuticles 3) made my cuticles bleed 4) used the dremmel on my cuticles 5) wiped my fresh wound (that he made) with a filthy acetone brush Against my better judgement I stayed and let him apply polish. It was uneven, bubbly, and he continuously tried to fix it with the same blood-soaked acetone brush from earlier (hygienic!!!). After he finished one hand, I had enough and asked for acetone to remove it myself. He tried to ask me to wait for another tech to re-do the polish. AS IF. I tried to leave but they made me pay $15 "for the service". I'm sure I'll get my money back after I sue them for the infection, the cost of antibiotic ointment and treatment, and the medical attention I'll probably need. Oh, and there were tons of huge flies all over the place. I didn't see a single state cosmetology license here and I WILL be reporting this establishment. DO NOT come here unless you want to pay to be left bleeding, deeply unsatisfied, and lose out on your time and money. I left here in worse condition than I came. read more

Awful Experience. If I could give this place a 0 I would. I made an appointment and waited almost an hour. The guy who was doing my nails wasn't even busy just on his phone. He wouldn't give me his name, but he had dyed blonde hair with dark roots, dark eyes and a tattoo of a date on his right arm. When I told him i wanted french but with a base coat that wasn't pink but something more natural with my skin tone and he told me it would coast extra? Before he even started doing my nails. Although i didn't understand i agreed it was fine. Throughout the entire appointment he was rude and disrespectful. While painting my nails he left outside and smoked a cigarette. When he returned , he started rushing my nails and asked if i liked my french. I wish I could show how shitty of a job he did. I told him that if he could make it look like the picture i showed him and he started yelling at me that he refused to ever do my nails again. He said some things that i didn't understand because he was not speaking english but by the tone of his voice I knew it was not nice. I waited for the owner (who normally does my nails) to finish since he walked out. She did a okay job but the behavior of her employee was very poor and unprofessional. No one should ever talk to someone the way he did. If he doesn't like his job he shouldn't be working there. Never going back and strongly urge you not to pay 75$ on a FILL. read more

This place is stunning! However, just appearances doesn't mean that the service is great. The receptionist was rude to me and my friend who had appointments, and she got really frustrated and mad when I held my umbrella within the salon. Anyways, we had appointments at 5 but they were delayed so they put us in massage chairs which were really nice! When it came to getting our nails done, my nail tech was professional but obviously distracted and because of it, one of the tips of my nails is very crooked. He then left halfway to fix another client's nails which I found kind of rude. He had the other tech finish up and she didn't clean up around my cuticles and nails so I had to do that myself. The nails felt rushed, and the dip could have been done better. Not sure if I'll come back, I did not feel welcomed at all :( read more

Since we moved back to State College almost a year ago I have been on the hunt for a place to have my mani/pedis. I like a place that takes appointments as I have to play service roulette (never knowing how long it will be until you are in the chair). On a whim I called O Nails as I was in desperate need of a mani/pedi before our vacation. They were able ti take me right away which was a pleasant surprise as another spa couldn't see me until two weeks from today. Alan and Ling (a personable husband and wife team) gave me a wonderful mani/pedi. Alan did a beautiful deluxe French manicure pedi while Ling did a perfect classic manicure. My hands and feet are vacation ready and very happy! read more

Came here a few weeks ago and was excited to try a new nail salon as the one I usually go to was closed temporaily. I had called ahead to make an appointment. Upon arriving I was greeted by a young receptionist who was extremely nice and said someone would be with me shortly. It was all downhill from there. I had about an hour wait WITH an appointment. The lady who did my nails was Helen and she was absolutely awful from start to finish. She had a horrible attitude with me the entire time. I asked for dip nails and she completely rushed through them and did not even file or go around my cuticles making the nails look awful and incomplete. When I asked if she could go around the cuticles she stated "I was to picky and would never be happy with anything" and refused to finish my nails causing a scene in the whole salon. Another guy ended up finishing my nails because she refused to unreal! I would never want an employee working for my business like that and can't believe how I was treated. It will be my first & LAST visit and will not recommend your place to anyone. Nails also started chipping quickly. Never again! read more

Honest reviews matter: Today I went to O Nails & received standard service. It is clear from my previous reviews I've had mixed experiences at this establishment. After my service I was told that they knew of my previous yelp review and asked if I would take it down. I was surprised and initially said sure, but after much consideration I will not be removing my previous review. It was my honest experience and people deserve to know the truth about the service experience before they go. I will never be returning here. read more

So I am from out of town and needed a pedicure kind of last minute. I walked over to their shop and it looks extremely cheap. I walked in it was extremely cheap their customer service is rude AF and they ONLY accept CASH and the people that were getting services done did not look very happy. They refused to give me a service because I "had not called and made an appointment" and I wouldn't recommend this to anybody especially after reading the other reviews! read more

These are my nails I got done FIVE DAYS AGO. They are gel acrylic and there is absolutely no reason my nails should just be falling off. My other thumb nail also fell off and the rest are not far behind. I spent $38 just for the service and left a $7 tip despite the fact that my nails were rushed and the guy kept hitting my actual skin and cuticles with the nail buffer. I was bleeding when I left. I would highly recommend not going to this location. Only five days and I have to go get my nails redone read more

I had come here once before and I was surprised to find a gem like this hidden away in State College. This past weekend I was looking to try another place, but I'm glad I waited to come back here because I had an even better experience than my first! Let me just say, this salon is lucky to have Becky - she was such a down to earth woman who clearly knew what she was doing and is amazing at what she does. She even apologized for taking her time, but what else can I ask for than that! She was very precise and my nails came out beautifully. I will never think twice about coming here again, definitely ask for Becky and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Becky see you soon! read more

probably the best place to get your nails done in State College. They were a little rude at first but I talked my tech up and he started to like me. overall, great experience because its by appointment only so I was in and out of there in an hour.

A perfect job every time! I've gone to just about every nail tech that does acrylic there and have been very pleased. However Helen is my favorite and always makes sure I leave happy. I rarely know what I want when I go in and she always helps me find the perfect shades for my skin tone(I'm picky). Without a doubt the most consistent nail salon in state college! 10/10 reccomend! read more
