Always is clean, everyone is nice, great pedicure choices and tons of colors of polish!

Jay always does an amazing job on my nails! Never disappointed when I leave. Thank you Jay!

This was my first time here, they're open until 6 on Sundays so it was convenient. That being said, this was the worst manicure I've ever had. I didn't get gel or anything fancy, just a regular manicure with polish. The employee put no effort in. She seemed almost bothered, and inexperienced. She filed, soaked my nails in cold water, and barely did the cuticles. She put lotion on my hands but instead of rubbing it in she wiped the excess off with paper towels. The paint job was messy. For $18 I won't go back. read more

This place offers more than just mani/ pedi. Ckeck them out. You won't be disappointed. Great customer service!! Jasmine and Belinda read more

I was looking for a new place since my usual is always too busy and took too long. I am happy I found Ocean nails and particularly Hanna. She does a great job and can do fancy stuff if you want! Most of the time I'm boring and just do gel or dip but she did a few designs for me (marble) with the gel and then helps me pick the colors for the dip. Prices I think are similar to what I've been seeing. Place is always clean and spacious. They also have a card you get stamped every time which earns you something on your 10th visit. Overall I recommend! read more

I like this place. It's clean and the nail techs seem skillful. Except, I did get the dip powder manicure (50 bucks) once before and my fingers were very irritated for days after. Maybe it was just too much for me, but I wouldn't get it again. My gel manicures and pedicures received have been good! I've been about three times total already. The reason for the four-star is because they are overpriced! The gel manicure cost me $40 plus tax the other day. Most places are about $25 or $30 for a gel manicure. I didn't see anything specifically special about the manicure that would warrant a $40 charge. The pedicure was $48. Once again, way too much! I believe they have a $38 pedicure but it was the basic of basic pedicures. I'm all about pampering and self-care, but not OK with being ripped off. Sorry... read more

Great pedi today with Kiki! Very relaxing and very much needed ! So glad I was able to get in today.

I've had my nails done a few times here definitely recommend an appointment. My experience has been mixed. Pedicure is great and depending upon who does your nails if they last or not . I get just a manicure with gel polish. Once it lasted 5 weeks and the next time chipped by the weekend . It's a hit or miss .. thanks Chris M read more

Very nice staff, great service, efficient. Gave a great pedicure and dip manicure was excellent. I didn't get the name of the technician who did my manicure but she paid attention to detail and made sure my nail shape was exactly what I wanted. Will absolutely return read more

AGAIN.. I figured I would give them a second chance. Unbelievable, my left foot toes are horrible read more

It's always nerve-wracking finding a nail spot that's going to do a nice job without costing a fortune. I'm glad I checked Yelp and found this place. Officially my nail spot near home! For a mid-day/mid-week walk in I noticed it was fairly populated. But once I picked a color the nail tech was ready to go. Lots of various polish colors to choose from. Went for a pinkish coral for July. My experience was clean, efficient, and relaxing. I just got a regular pedicure which was only 20 bucks. There's a tv and small bottle of water to keep you entertained and hydrated. Capped off with a shoulder rub while toes dry. A stamp card was included for future visits...which is great because I'll be back! Tips in cash are encouraged but there's still a spot on the credit card receipt to add. read more

I usually really like this place but it seems like the workers come and go here. There's one lady who works the front who has the worst attitude I have ever had to deal with. She asked me 5 times if I liked the color I picked and scoffed everytime I said yes like she wanted me to change my mind. The newest girl I had today was nice but I had to go home after my pedicure and file my nails over because it was almost like she was afraid. I will probably be back but I think I'm going to start requesting who I get as most of the staff is great just a few that aren't. read more

This nail salon is clean and offers quick service! They did an amazing job on my gel tips. I asked for a style I found on Pinterest and they were more than willing to do it for me. My nails came our great and are holding up very nicely. read more

They did a decent job with my gel refill, however I didn't like that they added a fee of five dollars to put some glue on my nails because supposedly they were lifting they were not lifting i've been to plenty of nail places where they just fill it without charging an extra fee I had just gotten a refill two weeks ago somewhere else. I also brought in a picture of a design to do on my nail which a wasn't a hard design at all and looks nothing like the picture I would not come again and would not recommend to anyone unless you make sure you know what you're paying for. read more

I have gone to this salon multiple times - I love the spa pedicure gel manicure, it is a splurge at $65 but so relaxing and it lasts 6 weeks! read more

New to the area and had yet to find a good spot . First time today and was super pleased . Super friendly and clean and priced so reasonable . Loved how their nail tools came in a sanitized pouch - that's so hard to find at places but something I always look for . Loved how it was my first time but the nail tech new exactly what my nails needed . Deff will be back and happy for this place to become my go to spot . All the nails around me looked gorgeous , not just mine . Highly recommend so thrilled with my mani and pedi . read more

Loveee I was super nervous getting nail art done for the first time especially because i didnt know nail TECHS usually do that but the girl that did my nails ateeee i was showing them off every five seconds. The only thing is she only did one layer of nail polish and wasn't very thorough with getting on the sides. read more

I went in recently for a pedicure and went with a pkg that included callus remover. Not the first time I've done it, but soon after I felt a burning sensation. Come to find out, I got a chemical burn that caused skin to crack in multiple areas on one foot and heel. Next day I was in urgent care and unable to walk properly. inflamed enough that I could barely get my shoe on. It's been a few days and still very sore. I'm upset with myself that I paid for it and provided a tip. The girl that did the pedicure was very nice and gave me some tips on how to take care of it. It seems to be different people every time I go in. read more

I came in with my mom last minute with a 30 minute notice. They took us in and there was no waiting time, they gave me the best set I've had in a long time. They really take their time on the nails and show effort. I would recommend, however if you aren't going to do a simple set the prices do raise. They only use UV gel as well! read more

I've been coming here for over a year and I love them so much! I love Jay he does my nails and I kinda let anyone do my toes but I've never been disappointed! read more

This place is awful and I genuinely don't understand how they are still in business. It took a man over 2 hours to do' a basic gel pedicure and he did a horrible job. For 60 dollars! No massage, cut my nails uneven, no proper callus removal. An absolute joke. Then before we were even done signing the receipt they start yelling at us about a tip. Huh? Tips are not a requirement and are optional. I always tip wherever I go even when people suck and these people jumped down our throat about it before we could even sign the receipt. I will never be back here and I advise others to not go here either. read more

I got a gel manicure today. It was my first time at this nail salon and I was impressed. The nail salon is very clean, there was many colors to choose from and I really feel like the nail techs took great detail in cleaning up my nails and painting them beautifully. I would definitely come back! read more

Everyone here is super friendly and polite. The main areas are really clean. The services that they offer are extremely well priced. My only gripe would be that their TVs are quite loud but that could be because the salon was quiet. read more

Painful.. I have never had an issue with waxing but left bleeding after this experience. Also the inside of the salon smelt like cigarettes due to staff smoking in a back room and the woman who took "care" of me had cigarette breath and her hands also smelt like cigarette smoke. read more

Amazing!!!! I have been going to the same nail place for 3 years because I hate trying new nail places but I am simply in love with my nails from this nail spa. I made an appointment and as soon as I walked in the door they were pulling out the seat for me. Not to mention I went later in the evening and the girl did not my rush what so ever!!! Will definitely be back(: read more

First time trying Ocean nails . NEVER again. I rarely write reviews, but this needs to be said. From the start I was greeted like I didn't belong. They sat me down and as I was picking a color she began to file my nails making it difficult to browse. She hardly cut my cuticles and appeared to be rushing as more people arrived. FASTEST manicure I've ever gotten I would say 20 mins from start to finish. Sloppy work. Once I was drying she had a second person come over to finish the manicure and give a shoulder massage. He appeared to not know what he was doing and and never put the cuticle oil on. I'm assuming they have enough regular clients to not care about making new ones based on their behavior. I have never felt so unwanted as a customer. read more

Fast, professional, reasonable and friendly Service... I did manicure gel and pedicure, they even gave me a shoulder massage while I waited for my nails to dry, and a foot massage , AMAZING!! I highly recommend them. read more

I came here for the first time recently after moving to this area and needed a new nail place. I don't get them done regularly but I do treat myself once every month or two to a pedicure and manicure. Since this is usually my "treat" to myself, I'm picky about where I will go. Cleanliness is obviously very important, but I also like to go somewhere where they go the extra mile to make their clients feel pampered (ie. fancy pedicure upgrades, extra massage, etc). I used to work in New Haven so I would sometimes take the extra drive to a place that I liked in Guilford bc it was only a quick 15 minutes on the highway from work, and it was worth the pampering after a long day sometimes! So when we moved 30 minutes further up north and I no longer work near the shoreline, I was bummed that I would miss my favorite spot but couldn't justify the drive just for that. I came here based on the good reviews and am so glad I did! It was quiet and clean and they did a good job of spacing clients apart during Covid times. The spa pedicure was so nice & the extra massage was even better than my last favorite place! The prices are very reasonable too! I found my new favorite place :) read more

I called and made an appointment and they didn't do my nails because they messed up and put a different service then what I needed. I wouldn't recommend it honestly because what's the point of the appointment if they can't service you. read more

I love ocean nails. The prices are very reasonable and the quality is exceptional. Everyone is very friendly and nice. My only complaint is sometimes they are too fast. I look at it as pamper time and sometimes I'm in and out so fast I barely have time to relax. read more

What an awesome place. Was recommended to me by a friend. I don't ever get my nails done so I was nervous since there's so many nail places around. I called ahead to make sure they had availability. The woman on the phone was super nice. I got SNS dip powder on my nails. They helped me figure out what shade of pink would look best. Would 100% go again. read more

THE BEST! and I mean THE BEST nail salon I have been to in YEARS. Everyone who works there is so sweet. Jay and Hanna are very into their work and making the customers happy. I drive 30 minutes to this salon and I will continue. It makes me so happy I finally found a nail salon that is consistent. Thank you so much! read more

This will be my regular nail place. Clean. Good staff. My mani pedi lasts and looks good.

very clean location, friendly staff. Pedicures start at 25 and little adds go on from there. Manicures start at $12 and I think gel polish starts at $20? I got the gel uv tips in french for $70 but I wanna say a regular set is like 55 or 65? Overall worth the price bc it's so clean and sterile. Bring cash for the tip, no atm nearby and I feel bad adding it to my card. It wasnt overwhelming busy either so that was nice to not have to wait long! read more
