I visited Ocean Nails while on vacation in Ocean City. The salon was very clean, organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere, which made a great first impression. The staff was polite, but unfortunately, the service didn't meet my expectations. There were only two technicians working on four customers , my husband MIL,SIL and myself, so the appointments felt rushed. My pedicure wasn't very thorough even for others the soles of our feet were barely scrubbed, leaving rough areas that I expected would be smoothed out. My husband also noticed several hanging pieces of dead skin around his nails that weren't trimmed or cleaned up, making the finished pedicure look incomplete. The technician happily did it again. I understand they were busy, but I would have preferred more attention to detail, especially for the price of $370 which doesn't even include tip, I expected a bit better experience. With more time spent on each customer, this salon has the potential to provide a much better experience because the cleanliness and atmosphere are already there. Just wished they were more thorough and more techs. read more

I asked for a new set and was talked into just doing a fill and then I asked for square and got nails of different length and round filling. I was surprised to hear the price of the service was also $50 for a fill when I have gone to other places for much cheaper. Sadly, I will not return here next time I'm in town. read more

Owners Tommy and Pam as well as their staff always do professional work. I've never been dissatisfied with my nails and I have been going there many years. The business itself is beautifully designed and always immaculate. They are friendly and welcoming at Ocean Nails. Very much recommend read more

Went here bc of the good reviews. I went in for a full set yesterday, these pics were taken immediately afterward. The last pic was my reference photo. The nails point upwards, my cuticles are awful, the acrylic was barely filed down, balls up at the end, and the sides are still rough and not polished. The French polish is done poorly and crooked. I asked Tommy if he could fix the polish, he got very annoyed and was extremely rude. He argued with me and told me they were not crooked. So this is how I left the salon. I was charged $72+ for this set of nails. My daughter had a set done as well and the were just as bad. A few of them popped off by this morning and the rest came right off, so luckily I didn't have to pay to have them soaked off, I went to Aria Nails today and had a beautiful set done. I paid for a service at Ocean Nails and had to pay again for another salon to redo both sets. read more

Excellent service in a clean, attractive, serene and well organized salon. Have been going there for many years for fills/dips/pedicures and never had a problem. Staff is very friendly and they just purchased some awesome pedicure chairs. Highly recommend! read more

Staff was friendly. The shop is clean and inviting. My pedicures great and relaxing. My acrylic fill in is beautiful. I will be going back.

Decided to get mani pedis with my boyfriend when we got down to the beach. They were super busy when we got in there but they were able to get us in. The place was super clean, and the staff was super friendly! Pedicure bowls were lined with a disposable liner, and all the tools they used were sanitized and very professional. Pam was my nail tech, she was very engaging, kept us comfortable, and in a conversation. It was very relaxed. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 star was cause some spots on my nail had thin paint on them and you could see the difference when you look close enough. I didn't notice the ones on my toes till a few days later. These manicures were done on 6/26, it's now 7/14, my nails have grown out a little, and there is a little cracking in the polish but they are hanging on strong! Would definitely come back next time we come down! read more

I called early and was told I could come in at 10 for a pedicure. I got there and every manicurist was busy. I was told to wait 5 minutes. I knew this wouldn't work since it looked like everyone had just started but I did. I waited 35 minutes. The frustration came when I asked to be taken by a manicurist that had just finished and she pointed to a noted manicurist and told me to wait for him. He was clearly still working with someone. I walked out. I have been to this salon a half dozen times--in the winter when their business is light --but will not go back. They clearly had more people scheduled than they could handle. I am guessing they thought that someone would not show up. That is not a way to do business. read more

Beautiful pedicure at a great price!! Ask for Luann if you can, she was so nice!! Also booked last minute - be sure to call!

Outrageous prices -- I would give them 0 stars if I could. Ocean nails charged me $15 to remove the gel from my nails (without a manicure). When I brought up the outrageous price, they said that nail polish removal is usually included in the $45 manicure (again, outrageous). So, I said it should only cost $30 for me to come back in and get them painted? And they said that it would still cost $45 for me to come in and get them painted. So $65 for a gel manicure!! Will never be returning to this establishment. read more

It's extremely irritating to have an appt, be on time, only to have to wait 30 minutes to be taken. Not the first time either. No apologies ever. They've raised their prices 2x in the last year. I explained to my technician my nails were fraying. I may as well have told it to the wall. There was no understanding. Also, 2 coats of base coat were applied. NO top coat. One day later the base coat applied is peeling off. For the prices charged I expect better. read more

All 3 technicians were very friendlly - I overheard all of their interactions with their clients. I went for a gel mani & regular pedi. My technician was so nice, we chatted a lot. He was very skilled and educated me on pedicures (after 25 years of getting them). I will go back when I visit Bethany. read more

Absolutely THE BEST salon in the area for a mani/ pedi! If you can book an appointment with Loan you will not be disappointed! She is the most experienced nail tech I have ever found anywhere! And I've lived in several states on the East coast. This place is clean and the staff are all friendly and very good at what they do. Still, Loan is the best of the bunch! When I leave Ocean nails, my nails are PERFECT...Every...Single...Time!!!!! read more

Took my mom for her birthday. They were rude to both of us; impatient with her color change (their mistake). At one point a hair showed up in my nail polish and I was accused of putting it there. And my gel manicure is not done well. Very disappointed; will not return. read more

I've had my nails done twice here and both times the gel was very sloppy. I went in yesterday and then again today to get the gel removed and both days they said they were too busy. I asked if I could schedule an appointment to have it removed and they said they don't schedule appointments just for gel removal. So I am stuck with this peeling ugly manicure. I definitely DO NOT recommend this place. read more

My wife convinced me to get a pedicure and although reluctant, I went with her and got one while she got a manicure. I must admit, I was the only male customer there but was immediately made to feel welcomed. I can't recall the woman's name who waited on me but wish I could as she was gentile snd thorough! I really enjoyed the time she applied a moisturizer and massaged my feet snd calves. One of the most enjoyable part of my time there. I do plan to go again and recommend to men to make an appointment, sit in the relaxing massage chair snd thoroughly enjoy a wonderful experience our wives have hidden from us for years. You will not regret the experience PLUS your toes and feet will look and feel GREAT!!! read more

I finally found a really nice nail salon in Bethany Beach. Ocean Nails. Exceptionally clean, professional and extremely relaxing. Owners Tommy and Pam go out of their way to give you the best service. And most importantly they honor your appointments. Today was my second time there and I could not be more pleased. I give it 5 stars. read more

I scheduled a mani/pedi and told them I had gel on both toes and nails. Owner (guy) did my appointment. While I was in pedi I told him again I had gel on fingers did he want to soak them. He said no it's too hard to do while I'm in pedi chair (guess he didn't want to lean over). He ended up using that scraper on my finger nails to get gel off and my nails have been splitting ever since and I have super strong nails. As soon as any white grows out it splits and I have to cut them down to the tip. That is extremely unprofessional. read more

This is a local salon! If you walk in and call ahead they will not help you! You can come inside and wait and wait while the owners just look at you and speak there native language. Nobody says can I help you or have a seat your next. You will just seat there in the front while the look at you and just speak there Language. Must be a Vietnamese social club instead of a nail salon. There rates on the wall change by the season read more

Ocean Nails - This is a local spa! If your not a local avoid! - Nail Salons Near Me

Exceptionally clean. Prompt and personalized, friendly, meticulous service (great pedicure!). Relaxing environment.

This place will squeeze regulars in and double book. Last 2 times I went there, I've waited anywhere from 20 minutes to half hour for the technician I sch'd with. Male owner is rude and abrupt. he acts like he's doing you a favor by having you in the shop to do your nails. I love the technician I typically schedule with but will not go back there again. The 2 stars are because the technician is great but if she weren't there, I'd give no stars! Fed Up, and can't tolerate the lack of 'customer service' at this place! read more

I've been to Ocean nails many times and each time is great! All the technicians are super nice, and it's not expensive for being located near the beach. The place is super well kept and always has people in there, so you might end up with a little wait but nothing you wouldn't experience anywhere else. I'll always trust ocean nails with my nails lol! read more

Second time at Ocean Nails. Walked in and took me right away. Every tech was busy, but the owner took me and did a great job. Last time I went, my nails lasted over three weeks, so hoping for the same this time around. Very clean and courteous and reasonably priced. read more

Just left salon.Vivian did pedi and dip mani... could not be any better... clean, professional and when you make an appointment, you come first! Most places down here don't do that and it is extremely rude and annoying! I will definitely use them again and again! read more

I have been coming to Ocean Nails for 20 years. The husband/wife owners are very pleasant and give great acrylic fills and pedicures. I always call ahead and make an appointment and rarely have had to wait. They redecorated a couple of years ago and have these wonderful massaging chairs for when you get a pedicure. The shop is very clean and when I am there later in the day, I always see workers sweeping the floor, emptying the trash cans, cleaning the instruments, tidying up the magazine table. They can get very busy in season, but I have never felt rushed and always get the high quality manicure I have come to expect. I am constantly receiving compliments on my nails. When I have needed to go to a different salon, I have found prices at those salons to be a couple of dollars higher and the work not of the quality I am used to. I highly recommend them. read more

Very positive experience!! I had a manicure and pedicure and both were well done and staff were very nice. I called the same day and was able to book services! read more

Continue to be in love with this place! Had a gel mani and pedicure today! They always take their time and do a great job! Thank you!! read more

I've been here before - it never knocked my socks off but today was just the worst! I came at around 11 to get a "walk in" mani-pedi - they were full up & a lady was waiting. I smiled & said I would try & make an appointment for later that afternoon. Went home, had lunch, called & asked for an appointment - "When?" "in 15 min or 5 min whichever is better for no wait" ...she said "come right now - no wait" I was like "I'll be there in 5 min" (our condo is right down the street) I get there, one person is working, one lady is waiting, & a guy is coming out from the back chewing and told me to "pick a color, sit down & wait" - I said, "I was the one on the phone you said no wait" to which he replied "that was 5 minutes ago now we are eating our lunch and 50 people could walk in 5 min - you wait" I jokingly said "So basically you lied, am I right?" and then he went out to the door of the store & smoked a cigarette at his "smoking table" out in front of the salon- SEE PICTURE. I was aghast! SO RUDE! I turned heel, walked out and as he was smoking & checking his phone I grinned and said "anything can happen in 5 min - like people can leave, and then they can Yelp" ....Seeing all these negative reviews here about rudeness I guess they don't read Yelp. But hey, as my dad says sometimes it's best to "talk with your feet"......I'll add YELP! PS. Avoid Venus Nails, too....boy do we need a good, bright, clean, friendly, & reasonable nail place here in Bethany! read more

Ocean Nails - Where they hang out smoking in front of salon while you're waiting inside clutching a bottle of nail polish - Nail Salons Near Me

Tried looking for a nail slaon that was already rated but none are so I decided to go to this one. It was great! I had the best pedicure! I went on a Sunday, they close at 4 and I did not know that and shoed up at 4pm they happily said "come on in, sure we will do a pedicure" and ended up staying there until 4:45pm just because of me...now that is service! I will be doing all my nail needs while I am at the beach here at Ocean Nails ** NOTE: You cant put a tip on a credit card** read more

I paid $30 for a refill of pink only. I was a walk in and waited an hour and a half. They were friendly enough, but have never had such poor work done. They all started lifting ALOT after a couple of days. I then noticed on my right hand ring finger that he filed so much along my cuticle, he actually filed a hole in my nail!! A HOLE! Ugh! I have had acrylic nails for 10 plus years and never had something like this. Also, my nails were very uneven and rough at the tips, the top coat was lumpy and bumpy and rough. SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF HEADACHE AND DONT GO HERE! read more

Great service. Very accommodating. Amazing selection of polishes and dip! The owner did my nails and he was very efficient and caring. 10/10

I've been going to ocean nails almost all summer. They are very professional and my guy-Ray -takes his time and does a terrific job. My gel manicure lasted almost three weeks. Highly recommend ocean nails. read more

This place is awful. Went in to have nail fixed and polish change. Guy was extremely rude told me my polish color was old and they don't take appointments to fix or polish change. I could wait Good thing Diva nails does take appointment plus they are not rude! Dont go there' read more

DO NOT COME HERE! Service was so unfriendly, not well done, and rude. You will NOT be seeing my face here again.

While I think most of the staff here are lovely, I went today for a manicure/pedicure with my mother, and the young man who did my manicure cut three of my cuticles so short that I was bleeding! He muttered a sorry but then carried on. I didn't get polish put on because they were still bleeding and stung. Not a good experience at all. read more

Great local salon. Very clean shop and they do an excellent job. They take appointments and walkins. They aren't over friendly but they're all hardworking and efficient and their prices are relatively low. It's not a froufrou place. They get you in and out quickly without offering a lot of extra services. They don't aggressively upsell you like some other salons in the area. read more

I love Ocean Nails! They can always fit me in and their gel lasts 2+ weeks! Great selection of colors and very clean!

My sis and I took our mom to Ocean Nails as a birthday gift. We planned on a manicure and pedicure. We arrived an hour before the salon was supposed to close, and a lady barked that we were there too late. As we stood there in confusion, the lady barked at us again and questioned whether we would be staying or not. We decided to just get the manicure. Signs are posted everywhere stating that if you break a bottle of nail polish, you will pay for it. Another lady did my mom's nails, who was much nicer and did a good job. However, the first lady set an ugly tone for the whole experience and didn't do anything to make it a relaxing visit. We went somewhere else for the pedicure! read more

This place was amazing! I went here today while I was in town for the fourth to get a pedicure and to soak off my powder nails to change to gel nail polish. They were amazing about soaking off my nails that were done horribly. I didn't feel rushed even though getting them off was a huge process (at least 30 minutes). So thankful I went here! read more

We walked right in and were helped immediately. Friendly service and well done nails.
