    Sad to say but after 8+ years of AMAZING service from Kim, I will no longer be returning, and to no fault of Kim. Ocean Nails is under new ownership, and sadly that came with the new manager Von (sp?). Quite possibly the rudest, most confrontational person I have ever met. Not to mention the blatant bullying she subjects the other employees too, while in front of paying clients too. And that's before we get into the absolute hack job she did on my nails. When advised that I was dissatisfied with my nails and either wanted them fixed or my money back, her response was "well I can just cut them off and then I'll give you your money back". Extremely unprofessional lady, and not a good start for the new owners. I was hoping to speak to the owners before writing this review, but found no contact info. There is much more to how Von responded when addressed, and it was highly unprofessional and quite frankly inappropriate. I am not the only one in the area that has had a similar experience with the new management. I hope this is taken seriously as Von has made it quite clear that she has no regard for this business and the potential consequences her actions may have. Again, 8+ years ZERO ISSUES. Kim is absolutely wonderful, extremely talented and a joy to be around. Ocean Nails should be grateful they have her. For anyone still planning on booking- Book with Kim, AVOID VON AT ALL COSTS. Vile lady with atrocious customer service. If the new owners would like any further clarification, please feel free to reach out. I would love to fill you in on the entirety of the situation.

    See the nailpolish slopped on my thumb. Bad manicure!

    Like so many people, I had a Groupon which was how I came to try this place. I called on a Saturday and they had time to take me later that day. I arrived about 15 minutes early and they were able to start my pedicure. The salon has the big comfy massage chairs with the foot bath. What was different this time is the foot bath part was made of this cool looking transparent colored plastic. Each was a different color: red, blue, green, orange. It was quite unique. The lady doing my pedicure was quite friendly but spoke little. I sat there enjoying the massaging chair and watching this ocean video they had playing on the big tv on the wall. I brought my own polish which they were ok with. The girl did a semi-ok job of my toes. She didn't go back to clean up any polish she got on my toes which I thought was a bit unprofessional. Next, time for the manicure. This was started while my toes were drying. Then I was brought over to the manicure area to a lady who spoke almost no English so chatting with her was useless. I chatted with the crazy client sitting next to me. This lady did a bad job of filing my nails making them uneven and lop-sided. A child could have done better. Then for the polish. Yikes what a mess. There was polish on the sides of my fingers and she never bothered to clean it off. One of the worst manicures I ever had. I don't know if this lady was new but she sucks at doing manicures. I will not be returning here ever even if I had a groupon. It's not worth my time.

    One week after shellac mani - still holding up!

    "A Nail Story" located in Kensington at : 314 10 St NW,…read moreCalgary AB T2N 1V8 LOVE this nail salon since day 1 as they've always been kind, friendly, welcoming and even offer everyone water & tea upon arrival. Services can be booked easily over the phone or from their website and they send a reminder text confirming your appointment which is super helpful!! My favourite type of nail service is with the Solar Powder line (see red / green nails in photos attached) which appear like literal glass on your hands, are super durable and are able to be formed to your nail bed into any desired shape. I used a nail extension as a tip then the solar powder on top and the gel colour for the top coat which has helped my otherwise weak nails to grow out while providing reliable beautiful strong nails that I can rely on working with various equipment/machinery/tools and cleaning supplies at my job. They are almost always right on schedule and cause clients to wait long, oftentimes even starting earlier than scheduled if their staff are free and have been willing to book on the same day which was very appreciated when I broke a nail while at work. Their bathroom, furniture, and all equipment/tools are kept super clean and the salon as a whole is tidy and well taken care of. Most times the space is accompanied by diverse music and lively conversations, though you're welcome to listen to your own music/audiobooks/other with your headphones. I personally prefer keeping my sunglasses on during my appointments as the lights and light coloured walls/tables are bright for me which has never been an issue to accommodate.

    From the owner: “Manicure and Pedicure were not for everyone because it is for a luxury lifestyle.” that what we…read moreused to think about. One day, we heard one of my client said “If I could not work on my nails and feet, I feel like my live missing something. Gorgeous nails made me gain confidence and my feet can dance again after pedicure.” She also said that “ingrown toenail so painful make me cannot walk until I know pedicure and I understood why woman spend their money for this service.“ Thanks to the story, we began to perceive that Manicure and Pedicure benefit to everyone and It is becoming a day to day routine for many people who like to prevent infections, promote healthy blood circulation, boost nail health, reduce in back pain and improve mental health. Totally understood that, A Nail Story was born in a Kensington, downtown Calgary, AB where people can experience the right, the professional and the standard personal care services in the industry. We are not only a nail salon, we are the place for you to relax and heal completely their mind after a busy day at work. Why us The buffer and file are only used once, never recycle paraffin wax, professional service with a clean, sanitary environment and reasonable price. We always use branded products from OPI, Bio-Chic, CND and Lexor Elite. In addition, we offer 7-day guarantee for nails and shellac services.

    Psst... hey, guys, gals, over here in the shadows. It's me. Wanna hear what I know about nail…read moresalons? Nothing. Not a damn thing. So here it is, mid-April in Calgary. Shouldn't the birds be singing, the flowers near bloom, the trees readying their leaves? Right, that was the week *before* I arrived. Now, it's 20 degrees, it's snowing, the wind is blowing 20 mph, and my feet are in a pedicure tub of hot water up to my ankles. I could care less about the weather. Bliss. Truth be known, I've had 4-5 pedicures and adored them all. This was one of the best, because 1) I was on vacation. 2) it was brutally cold, and 3) all I had to do was relax and enjoy it, and how I did. The ladies here are sweet as can be, very thorough, and the price is about 1/3 less than I'd expect to pay in the states. I'm sold. Sign me up for the next visit, please. My girls were here the day before and had their nails done which is in part surely how I arrived here. Glad I did. They also advertise other things I know very little about. Waxing, eyelashes, UV gel, and something called Solar Powder. I'll Google that later, thank you. No entry for them on Yelp? I'll fix that. This is an area with a lot of visitors from around Canada so why anyone in their right mind wouldn't want to enjoy this escapes me. Here I am, performing a public service. You're welcome. If you come. Major credit cards accepted. Stones throw from several nice restaurants, tea and coffee shops and a bit of shopping here and there. I can see this becoming part of a perfectly wasted day in my immediate future. Very highly recommended.
