Today I had an amazing experience it was my first time there and my first time getting my nails done in Nevada and they were perfect from beginning to end. Starting with Henry, his work was amazing he gave me just what I was looking for (Full Set) Hannah gave such a satisfying relaxing pedicure. And Leslie who waxed my eyebrows she made me feel so comfortable in facing my fears. Thank you!! read more

Where on earth do I begin? Wish I read reviews before going to this dangerous nail salon. First trip in I need a new set put on and the technician used the edge of an unused tip to slice and pry my old tips off. She said it's "better and faster than soaking them off". Not faster and so very painful. Like another reviewer stated, it tore into my natural nail bed and caused a bleed or two. The rest of my manicure was ok but not what I anticipated from a nice looking salon. Returned 3.5 weeks later for a fill with a different employee. When she was using the drill to remove my cuticles, she nicked my skin along my index finger. It stung but didn't really bleed. Frustrating that I'm in pain both times I try this salon. She finishes the mani and I go home. 3 days later the finger she nicked with the dirty (reused) bit was now sore. In 3 more days my finger is so infected that I can't work and have to go to Urgent Care to have it painfully lanced and drained. The infection was working it's way into my knuckle and I couldn't bend my finger. The lab tested the culture and it was MRSA (staph infection). So glad I was a generous tipper to the salon employee.... NOT! Fast Forward 2 months and now my natural nail is rotting off and I have the joy of it looking horrible for probably a year. RUN don't walk away from this place. I am lucky that I was proactive about my finger or I could have had permanent damage to it. And now that I've seen their responses to other reviews, I know they could care less about their customers and only care about the money they are making. read more

Weren't in with 2 friends for pedicures. We each asked for the Deluxe plus a paraffin treatment. Chose our polish colors and were taken to our chairs. From there it went downhill. The foot soak water was scorching for one of us, ice cold for one and the 3rd person - who was seated in the middle was ignored. Took so long to get water temps right and water for the 3rd that there wasn't much soak time. As for the requested services, my callous removal wasn't done completely. Still have a big one on my heel ~ but it didn't show until a couple hours later when feet were dry and lotion had absorbed. Realized later, when talking with my friends that only one of the three got the hot stone massage. They almost forgot my one friend's paraffin- until another tech reminded her tech. We were supposed to get a bottle of water or glass of wine - none was offered. I don't know about my friend's polish but it seems mine was a gel - but nothing was said to me - he just applied it. So, I get where we were going with smudged polish on all of toes. The treatment, including gratuity we close to $90. That is way higher than I usually spend but we were pampering ourselves. I feel ripped off. For $60 more than I usually pay, I should have had a relaxing, high end pedicure. Instead, I have to go to my regular place to get my toes repolished. The place is huge so it feels inpersonal. The tech were rushing from client to client and there was little attention paid to details - such as what was included in each service package. The service received was sloppy and unprofessional. We were very disappointed and will not return. read more

I've never had anything but great experiences at Ocean Spa. They are easy to get an appointment with usually have a lot of techs working. I am never worried about cleanliness as everything is pristine. On my most recent visit, they have all new chairs that are sparkling white and have the massager channels built into the chairs, very comfortable!! The pedis are always great and never have issues with gel coming off like some other places I have been. There are several different types of pedis you can choose from, but even the cheapest package is great and you feel refreshed. I always recommend ocean nails over most places in town! read more

i got a pedicure here on 4/29/25. it is may 1st and my one my toes is now infected which shouldn't be an issue when i went in there with no issues. the employees were rude. and the energy of the place felt uncomfortable. also pretty over priced for what it was especially to get an infection two days later ??? read more

The nail techs are great, manager is the rudest most vile woman I've ever met. Her behavior toward my daughter and me during a visit isn't fit to share - there are many choices in town for great nail services and I encourage everyone to patronize those businesses instead. read more

My friend got her nails done first time here, the man that did her nails was so rude and didn't do what she wanted at all he did what he thought would look better. It was his first day working here he said and I'm not impressed. Also one of her nails were so crooked. read more

My Wife wanted to come here to get a pedicure before leaving for vacation. I was asked to join her and as a guy, I am not above getting a pedicure. Judge me all you want, I do not care. Lol. I've been to a few different spas and this one is my least favorite. The service was like warm at best and I felt like part of a herd of cattle being recycled in and out. Service felt rushed and wasn't relaxing in the slightest. The tech who did mine did a good job and seemed to know what she was doing. All the rules spas need to follow about cleanliness and hygiene were being followed from what I could tell. Those are really the only positives I can give it. All in all, my Wife and I won't be back. read more

I should've read reviews before making an appointment here. Every year for my sons birthday we go get his nails done. Headed on a vacation next weekend, he knew what designs he wants colors everything. Made an appointment to go here 3 weeks ago. Get there nobody acknowledges us, I thought maybe I had to use the machine. Machine to check in and give points WASNT even working properly but whatever. About 15 minutes or more later when my friend arrived we got sat. She was given a girl to do her nails that was nice and started working right away. I sat and waited another 10 or more minutes, so we are about 30 minutes past our appointment. NOBODY helps my son. I asked over and over. One guy finally comes over and says they'll do my sons nails and his toes when we go for our pedicures. Ok. The guy doing my nails was rude. Every time I showed him a color or picture he said no, we don't do that. What I ended up with is beyond mediocre and I don't like it but I was focusing on my kid. Still nothing from anyone. We go to get our pedicures next and they only started two chairs. Left my son out. I gave him my chair and I demanded another. My son sat for another hour in water with not one person coming over. I was mad. I demanded help. Some lady came and did his toes in 5 minutes. Didn't even let him show her what he really wanted so he picked something else. No lotion no anything. Got up walked away. Didn't even attempt to do his finger nails. I got done and I was pissed. Nobody said anything to me or him. Went to pay. $367. WTF?! Oh charging me for my friends toes and nails. Revised my bill $207. For what? I didn't get what I wanted my toes are lame dude put me in collagen and walked away. No idea what I was supposed to do. I know they didn't charge full price for my sons toes!! I paid and even tipped the rude guy who did my nails. He asked where the tip was for the lady who was rude and dismissive to my son. No. No tip. Walked out. My nails aren't even sealed with gel top coat!!! I'll be disputing the charge on my credit card because who knows wtf I paid for. Oh and my son tried to say hi to two little boys in a massage room playing and they yelled at him to get out, slammed the sliding door and shut the curtains. My son will be 7. This place is ridiculous, rude, over charges and obviously doesn't know basic nails. Never again. My friend had a great experience with the girl who helped her and loved her nails. read more

Jaden does an amazing job! Always leaves my toenails looking great and makes sure they're super smooth! I highly recommend!

Believe me were in bad shape hadn't been to a salon in a very long time months if not a year or more, I was doing my own at home but the treatment of the people was very welcoming. and the pedicure was absolutely amazing the best pedicure I've ever had ...oh I had the deluxe...

I Typically don't want to leave negative reviews. I'd like to trust that people want to do their best and care about the level of customer service they provide, sadly I cannot write that about ocean spa and nails. I came in to get my acrylics tips (not put in here) removed and have a manicure. I was a walk in, noticed they were busy and made an appointment to come back a few hours later. When I came back, there was lots of discussion between my nail tech and the front desk gal about the service I required. I didn't understand why as this is a pretty basic request but whatever. The nail tech Ahn clearly did not want to be doing my nails. She was rude from the start. As soon as I sit down, the tech was rough with my hands, complaining that it would take too long to remove my nails...umm ok, I thought that's why I made an appt.?!...so not wanting to upset this rude woman more I said, ok, well can you at least cut them down and clean them up. She grabbed a rough drill and littlerally drilled them down as close to my skin as possible. There was not even any room to shape and make them pretty. They were crooked, sharp and warped from the shape of the drill. When she did my first nail I said, oh my gosh, that's short, and she rudely said, I'm not done yet. I basically held my breath through the rest of the uncomfortable appt while I watched this woman destroy, and I mean mutilate my nails. When that horrible 5 mins was over she proclaimed herself to be done and I was just shocked!!! The result was horrifying. I spoke to another nail tech and the front desk but no one was willing to help me resolve this issue...all they had to do was put me back with someone that wanted to do their job and give me a little manicure. Alas they still charged me (why I paid I don't know). Even though I complained they refused to accept their absolute terrible level of customer service and the front desk gal said sorry for Ahn's behavior and left it at that. I seriously left crying and feeling like I had been abused by this woman...and I paid for it. I swear I will never go back to this place and I will tell everyone my story. It was unreal. read more

I went to this salon to get a full set Saturday August 14, 2021. By Wednesday my nails were lifting. I called to let them know what was going on. They agreed to see me to fix it. They kept asking to see me during the week. Unfortunately I work complicated hours and couldn't be seen during the week. I agreed to be seen on Sunday, August 22nd which is today at 5. I sent the tech who agreed to see me at 5 a text to confirm my apt. She sent me a text saying, she couldn't see me at 5, and to go at 4:30 because the salon was closing at 5. I got there before 4:30 and waited 10 min to be seen. When she finally saw me, she went on to blame me for my nails lifting ??? How would I be to blame ?? I paid 60.00 for a full set and I got a horrible job done the first time. All I wanted was for it to be corrected. She redid the work and was a little Upset while doing it. Towards the end I expressed how grateful I was that she got to see me again to fix it only for her to say she couldn't see me anymore and embarrassed me next to the other client next to me. She said my nails weren't ok for her to work on. How are my nails my fault ?? I have had my nails done elsewhere and never these issues. I walked out upset and almost in tears. I have never been embarrassed like this. Please don't go here. Don't ! Pay 60 elsewhere. read more

NEVER AGAIN!!!! Horrible customer service! I am absolutely appalled at the way I was treated during and after the services. My daughter and I went here today, 6/15/21, what a mistake. The first 30 minutes was fine and then I see Kenny come over with the gel lights for my toes and I specifically told him I didn't want gel on my toes and he replied, "I know, I know." Then the girl who did my nails argued with me about what I wanted and she told me, you don't want that, this is the same. So she basically did whatever she wanted. My daughter had an equally horrible experience with Jimmy. Super nice man but her nails are so thick, it looks horrible. We go up to pay and the lady tells me $214, excuse me what???? I had already added it up with the prices she told me at the beginning and it shouldn't have been more then $180! Here comes KENNY, yelling at me saying that I said I wanted gel. ‍ I told the receptionist and him both before any services were performed that I didn't want gel. So she didn't charge me for the gel but still says we owe $199! WTF..... I handed her $200 cash, she literally threw my dollar change on the counter and was talking shit to me until I was out the door. WE WONT BE BACK AND ILL MAKE SURE TO TELL EVERYONE NOT TO GO HERE. Pictures for reference, right after we left this place. EDIT: Today 6/16/21, both my heels are in so much pain from Kenny using the grater too much. I want to go back and demand my money back but these people are nasty and rude AF. Pretty sure you just lost a good amount of patrons with your disgusting, unprofessional response to my review. read more

The front office lady was very rude, had a pedicure and manicure with a friend. We were able to sit and visit during our pedicure but we were separated during our manicures. My foot bath was cold. I ended up with a Bubble on my gel manicure only hours later. When I called to see about how they were going to make it right. They made it feel like I was Inconveniencing them. They could not see me for at least another 1 1/2 hours. I told them that I don't live in the area. Now I wish it didn't tip her $20.00. I've never had a manicure before but I felt I message my hands more putting Lotion on then the lady did on my hands. I've been here before but it was a waste of my hard earned money. I will not be going back. read more

I had an appointment on 10/12/20 I got dip nails, she asked what color I wanted and I said "pink and white ombré" I guess she only heard pink and white and assumed I wanted a french manicure. After she started one hand I asked if they would be ombré, and she made me feel guilty for the mistake and complained that she would have to start over. I settled for the french manicure, when paying at the counter she had charged me an extra $5 for the french manicure I did not want! (Regular dip nails are $50 she charged me $55) the girl at the desk removed the additional $5. Exactly one week later and they look absolutely awful. I've never had this problem with dip nails in the past. read more

I hate to do this, but Kenny. Kenny, Kenny, Kenny... I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he kept stopping my pedicure to text on his phone, he cut me with a cuticle cutter and then covered up the blood, then painted gel polish all over my skin, and then disappeared for 5 minutes because he had to go talk to his insurance person outside. It felt so rushed, not sanitary, and I had to ask them to fix it. He thought it looked good I guess? The work he had done cost me $61... The woman at the front desk was so sweet and found someone else to fix it, for which I'm so thankful. But just avoid Kenny. read more

Ocean Spa And Nails - $61 pedicure - Waxing Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came with a friend at 9:30am for a pedicures, eyebrow wax and fills. The pedicure was alright but nothing really impressive. Even with upgrading, the best part was the hot towel. The sugar scrub was short lived and the massage was subpar. My eyebrows were executed perfectly except that the technician got wax in my baby hairs along my forehead. When it came to fills, the younger gentleman who did mine insisted on removing my existing nails for a new set. I didn't put up a fight because I've had it done in the past and it usually isn't too bad but I instantly regretted it. He was far from gentle and DESTROYED my nail beds, causing them to crack and bleed throughout. It was extremely painful and he really showed no mercy regardless of me telling him he was being too rough. While my nails bled, he continued with whatever stinging fluid he put on top of each nail and as I winced, he said it would go away once he started applying the acrylic powder. It did not. I asked for square french ombre and instead of a pink shade, he went with a nearly gray shade of white - not what I requested with my photo reference. After requesting SQUARE 3 times, the technician still shaped them coffin and claimed they were square. He also used too much clear gel on the top that it dripped on the sides of my nails and had me re-filing it off at home. I left in pain, feeling totally ripped off and knowing I was not going back. Now that I've returned to my usual salon, I was shown just how bad the technician damaged my nails. They were the wrong size and dried blood was showing through the acrylic. They needed to be carefully removed AGAIN and my usual technician was 10x more gentle and gave me such a better experience. read more

So disappointed today....first our favorite techs are not longer at Ocean Spa... so we thought we'd give someone else a try. It was easy to just walk in without an appointment. Although, I did leave two messages..one on Yelp and one on their answering machine...neither was answered. I think the young man who did my mani/pedi was fairly new as a tech. Didn't do a bad job, but did manage to clip my cuticle to bleeding. Not a good thing! Also, when I go for a mani and a pedi, I will not again accept a manicure while sitting in the pedi chair. Perhaps I wouldn't have been clipped. I could see the tech had a hard time seeing closely without the manicure lights right over my hands...where they should be. Seemed to be a lot of new faces there...maybe they went through a change in staff. If anyone knows where Jimmy & Ann went...love to know. read more

I have come here quite a few times and had a somewhat decent job done although the price js always way too high. It's definitely hit or miss and when it's a miss it's a HARD MISS. I will never return here after my last mani/pedi. It was rushed, aggressive, sloppy and I ended up spending over $100 pre-too. Somehow my bill was larger than my friend's when had the exact same service done. If you have a regular nail technician here that you know and love, fine. If you don't, beware!! read more

Amazing pedicures (love the collagen spa pedicure!) And if you are looking for a perfect eyebrow wax, I highly recommend Diana!!

I got a spa pedicure and "manicure" today. My pedicure was fine, no complaints. My manicure is awful. The the first lady cut down my nails without asking, almost clipped the ends of 4 fingers as she did it. The second lady came in to unevenly paint my nails and didn't approach the cuticles. And the clear coat is more on the tips of my fingers than on my nails. They also left my cuticles a wreck. I don't understand why a different person finished as I had requested the mani when I asked for the pedi. I don't like leaving negative reviews but felt I couldn't talk to anyone there as I had already been seen by two and both had either injured me or covered me with polish. read more

AVOID KENNY. Super sweet old man. Terrible pedicurist. Today i Treated my pregnant best friend to a nice deluxe pedicure which includes a hot stone massage and we added on the wax treatment at the end. It's one thing if the massage isn't on point or the nails aren't 100% whatever we get it, that happens. My girl was in pain the entire appointment. Kenny cut her multiple times with the file. She asked him multiple times to stop! And he kept insisting. He also used basically a cheese grater on her heels which left her with slices that are still burning right now. He didn't use the hot stones for the massage which are included in this service, so we had to remind him. And he never finished the service off with the wax. Her polish would have looked better if we let my 9 year old step daughter do it. I'm sorry this review couldn't be more positive as my experience was good which is where the 1 star comes in. But seeing my girl practically in tears is unacceptable and the fact that I still paid $51 for her service sucks. read more

I have been going to Jaden to get my pedicures for years. He is, by far, the best I've ever experienced! He takes his time with the service, does an amazing job, and makes you feel very well taken care of. As difficult as it is to find a new hairstylist, I feel it's the same when it comes to your pedicurist, and someone would have big shoes to fill in Jaden's place! I highly recommend him!! read more

A number of months back, on one of my visits here, Jaden was assigned to my pedicure. Right away I noticed how personable he was and that he genuinely cared about the services he performed. He prides himself on offering the nicest products throughout his manicures and pedicures. He doesn't use cheap products, he uses effective products. He also offers simple, at home advice for keeping skin soft and getting the most out of your service. I always return to Ocean Spa and Nails specifically requesting Jaden. read more

Zero stars. Thought I'd give them a second chance. Way too rushed, cut them short without asking what length or shape I wanted. None of them ate the same length, shape is all wrong, some look smooth and round others rough and uneven.

Diana was so great! She provided an excellent pedicure and was so accommodating. Definitely recommend her and this spa!

I have been here a few times and my nails have always looked good. My gel lasts for 2+ weeks and does not peel or chip. I have done walk ins and appointments and they always do their best to accommodate clients. My only qualm is their cleaning procedures. They put an individual bag in the tubs for pedicures, which I thought was great. But I was watching the last time I was there and I never once saw someone sanitize the chairs between clients. This was both in the manicure and pedicure stations. This is very concerning in normal times, but especially during Covid times. Additionally, while they do have sterilizing machines, it looks as if they reuse their nail files which I am not a fan of. For these reasons, I will not return, and I hope they update their cleaning standards. read more

I have had several good experiences here - but all it takes is 1 bad - and this was really bad. Total waste of $35 and my time. The technician was on their phone most of the time - had to redo my thumbs b/c they both peeled immediately. Once I got outside I could see how awful every single nail looked; painted on my cuticles, completely missed a strip on a nail, bubbles and bumps. When I walked back in (after paying 2 min before) and showed the cashier how awful it was they said they would fix - I don't have 2.5 hours to sit in a nail chair - I wanted a partial refund and they refused. They offered to fix it another day, again - I don't have to time to have the work redone. I am disappointed as I thought I had found a nail place I could count on. I will never back. I can't believe I tipped the guy!!! read more
