See all

Love this place! Service was wonderful! I got a wonderful gel manicure and a food massage that was heavenly. It's nice and peaceful in here too..... highly recommended! read more

Great salon! I am so picky about manicures/pedicures but they did a fantastic job. Came to Laguna on vacation and was so pleased I came across this place. A little pricey but worth it for the quality of the service! read more

I tried this place while on a recent business trip. First, the positive: the salon itself was new and beautifully decorated and they were able to get my co-worker and I in for mani-pedi's right away without appointments. Also, the staff was very nice and offered us cold waters and, later, wine (which we declined). Now on to the reasons for the 2-star review: - I received a dip powder manicure and a gel pedicure. The pedicure was fine (although very basic--more on that below). The dip powder manicure, however, literally chipped the very next day and my already-short nail broke into a jagged mess. For anyone who has had a properly done dip powder manicure, you know it should easily last 3+ weeks without chipping. So, 1) it didn't last, 2) this is one of the salons that tries to file the crap out of your nails to remove the dip powder. When I objected to that, they instead repeatedly soaked my fingers in a bowl of acetone for about 20 minutes, and then struggled with trying to wipe off the dip powder with tissue, which created a sticky mess. My usual salon in Sacramento just wraps each individual nail in acetone-soaked cotton and tin foil for a few minutes, and the dip powder easily comes right off. - The gel pedicure I received is fine at the two week mark. However, during it, the technician bumped my big toe and had to wind up redoing the gel polish on it. There was also no massage provided (they didn't ask me what level of pedicure I wanted). - Cleanliness is very important to me in a salon. For what it's worth, this salon doesn't use the foot basin liners when you're receiving pedicures. - For a dip powder manicure that was ruined the very next day, and a pedicure with no massage (although I did receive a callous removal), I was charged $96. With tip, it came to well over $100. This is a lot more than I'm accustomed to paying. TL;DR: Dip powder manicure chipped and broke the next day; very expensive services; won't be back. read more

If you need a quick mani/pedi refresher, this is the place to go! Beautiful brand new everything, sweet and friendly staff (and very gentle), and plenty of parking in the back. And if you enjoy people watching, this is the perfect spot! read more

I had such good service from Lena and Helen! I was helped right away as soon as I arrived. They were super meticulous, did not rush, and did my gel nails and pedicure exactly how I like them. (I am super particular about my cuticles) I had a broken nail as well as super sensitive feet and they were handled with great care. The salon is extremely clean and all tools/towels are very sanitary. The owners are very friendly and welcoming too:) read more

A guy that never ever steps into a nail salon unless the fiancé drags me in, I'm quite surprised how my hands and nails look. Customer service is excellent and I may possibly come back to get my feet done. read more

Thanks to COVID I came in to Ocean NailBar with sad and ugly feet and hands. Nick and Lena made them look human again. They're thorough, gentle, and the massage is so comforting. I like the attention to shaping the nails and making them even. Callouses and cuticles gone! Thank you and I'll see you in two weeks! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Ocean NailBar. Great location, light breezy atmosphere and excellent people watching while you get your nails done. I highly recommend Lena for manicures - she's an absolute perfectionist so it'll take some time, but it's worth it! I also recommend Kim, who has done my pedicures and Joanne, who's extremely helpful and friendly. They have an amazing selection of Orly gel color as well, which is hard to come by. All around, love this place, affordable pricing and amazing team of friendly professional technicians. read more

Ocean NailBar - Orly gel by Lena, perfection! - Nail Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

I've NEVER had a more perfect manicure in my life!! Kathy did an amazing job! I had dipping powder gel and I can't say enough about how fantastic it looks. My pedicure looks terrific as well. The salon is well decorated and the women are dressed incredibly chic. I love that laguna has this new salon and I'll most definitely be a regular :)))) read more

I've been here a few times and it's bummer because I'm really trying to enjoy it. I'm a Laguna Beach local and I've given this place SO many chances because i don't want to drive to get my nails done when it's a walk across the street. My issue is that EVERYTIME and I mean EVERYTIME I always go in for the same. Regular pedicure and gel manicure. Anytime I don't want gel or something that is a bit more expensive for what I originally came in for, the women treat me different. I'm very nice and polite and over the span of my visiting I've had about 15 different women work on my nails and not one of them is polite! They make my hands feel uncomfortable, squeezing them so hard (i'm not sure if it's coincidence, if I paid more they probably wouldn't do that) they chat and sigh and roll their eyes if I choose not to do what I DIDNT want in the first place! The owner I'm sure is well aware of it. It's a bummer and it's sad to see you get treated so differently when I'm literally there to GIVE THEM business. You can go in and they will be so nice and call you pretty until you literally stick to what you want. Shame. They do a decent job for nails but the experience would be a atleast good if they were actually polite. Hope there's changes soon because they will do nothing to make sure you're experience is good unless they get your money. read more

Ocean NailBar - Nail Salons Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

New, clean and inviting nail salon facing the beautiful beach in Laguna. Everything about this place is relaxing from the excellent massage chairs, friendly service and hospitality to provide various beverages (beers included) and snacks. Their attention to detail and selection of high quality products and colors give many choices for those who are looking for the just right color. Vy did my pedicure and had a nice touch even when removing my calluses (as I can be extremely ticklish). Jennifer (the owner) did my white gel manicure, removing my cuticles and filing each nail to the rounded shape I like. Everything about my experience was great as I felt pampered throughout and got to catch up on all sorts of talk with my girlfriend who was sitting next to me. We had such a great time at ocean nail bar that I can't wait for the next appointment! read more

This is the best place to get a facial!!.I got the European facial(organic)with a relaxing massage! The salon is so beautiful and elegant with the ocean blue chairs. Everyone made to feel welcome. When they found out it was my birthday they made it one I would never forget!! My complextion never looked so good! I swear my husband says I look younger and more restored. read more

This place was awesome ! Came in as a walk in and got seated immediately. Alex did my toes, he was so sweet and made sure I was relaxed. Joanne came in later and did my hands and was super sweet as well and thorough with her work. I was treated like a VIP and very relaxed, very friendly staff and Great service ! thank you read more

Started going here a couple of months ago, and have been extremely happy. Salon is nicely decorated and really clean (including disposable inserts for the pedicure tubs!). Welcoming service every time. Have been to other salons in the area over the past several years, and have now made this the only place that I'll go. read more

I really love this new nail salon. The technicians are meticulous and it very clean and in a great location with validated parking behind the shop. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is the prices are high. Jennifer, the manager is terrific! read more

Was in town for the blues festival and stopped in for a mani-pedi. The ladies were very very personable and I felt like they both took their time to ensure they did a meticulous job. The salon was also very relaxing with the ambient music. They have nice massage chairs and I definitely recommend the paraffin wax treatment which they use a nice warming mitt to prolong the heat therapy. Awesome location and friendly staff! read more
