    I've been coming here for years, about once a month for a mani/pedi, and it's consistently a great experience. My gel manicures typically last at least two weeks if not longer. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and they go the extra mile to make you comfortable -- offering coffee, water, or even a glass of wine while you relax. They recently upgraded to brand-new pedicure massage chairs, which are amazing, and it seems like they're constantly making improvements around the salon to keep things fresh and inviting. Pricing is right in line with other places in the area, and I've never had trouble finding parking nearby. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality service and a relaxing atmosphere!

    Everyone was super nice but the quality was not so great. Paid $130 for a gel pedicure and dip manicure with chrome. The chrome didn't stick to my nails and my pedicure looks clumpy. They offered me a refund or to redo it. Very nice.

    I have been coming here for years and everyone here are soo sweet! I don't think I will ever leave

    The best nail salon I've tried in Goleta! Perfect for a basic but high quality mani pedi. The salon is organized, clean, and has a positive, relaxing vibe. They were thorough, quick, and did a great job with my nails and toes. Good color selection and good pricing. I got regular polish aI recommend it more than other salons in Goleta.

    I'm very new to the area, so I was pretty nervous about trying a new nail salon... But I was really happy with how my nails turned out, as well as the service during! They were done by Vy Vy, she was great, and she is great at nail art and design! I will definitely be coming back. Worth mentioning - the salon itself has great aesthetic and spacing, very clean and professional. Bonus - they offered water and yummy Vietnamese coffee. My nails are dip-powdered (with tip extensions).

    Went here to get an acrylic set as a walk in and was seated right away with Wendy. She looked at my inspiration photo and did a great job! She checked in to make sure I liked the length, shape, and color multiple times along the way and they're great! There were some little crusty pieces of acrylic underneath the nail extensions that I had to pick off afterwards but it was no worry and I'll definitely be coming back! Total for the full set with extensions and the gel heart was $70.50 (way cheaper than some of the other places I've gone)

    Went to get my nails done today, the lady who did them was very sweet. However, they look cheaply done and most of my nails have gaps between my skin and the polish making it look like they're already grown out. She also put a few of the tips on crooked as well and most of the nails aren't painted all the way to the end.

    TL;DR Walk in pedicure: poor service, weird disjointed bone massage, chipped polish,$70.50 including $10 tip. I walked-in for a pedicure yesterday around 4pm. No one asked my name or attempted to address me by it. The guy pointed at me and waved me into a chair without even making eye contact with me. I was not offered the glass of wine or champagne that is promised. I chose the pedicure option with the paraffin wax. It was $60. Tiffany seemed angry about my selection. She was globbing on lotions and massaging my bones. The leg massage was a shin massage. She massaged my shin bones (ouch) while the wax was still on my feet. After she took the wax off of my feet, she massaged them on the tops only (again, along the bones, pretty uncomfortable) - and I'm not sure that it was for the 15 mins included in the package. I was just sitting there in awe of how weird the experience was. Then, when it came time to paint the nail, Tiffany made a mistake that would have required her to repaint. Only, she didn't. She cut out the mistake with clippers and painted over it. So now my nail polish is chipped. It seemed like they thought I have never gotten a pedicure before and they took advantage of me. I didn't say anything because it was really awful. I didn't know what they would do if I said anything, they already had been treating me pretty poorly. I was just waiting for the experience to be over. I politely sat through the weird experience, tipped, left, and will never be back again. I spent $70.50 on a chipped pedicure and uncomfortable disjointed massage. Embarrassing.

    Do not ever get your acrylics taken off here! My nails are tender and torn in multiple places. I have cuts on multiple fingers. Worst $15 I ever spent!

    I highly recommend this nail salon! The owner is amazing and all the staff is friendly. So far one of my favorite nail salons in Goleta.

    Is this salon open right now?

    Yes We re opening out doors

    How much is for a fill?

    It depends on the kind of fill just call them

    How much is a nail fill or a full set?

    I get a full set and some nail designs, comes out to about $70...depends on what nail tech you get. I go to Emily and shes more in demand it seems. Emily is excellent and a talented nail artist....Andy and Lindsay are both really good as well.

    Great service and high quality products. Had a mani/pedi walk in and both nail specialists did a…read moreterrific job. Got new tips and they're still Going strong after over 10 Days. Hard to find this level of skill.

    Disappointing Service Despite Good Work - Will Not Return I…read morerecently visited ocean nails hoping for a relaxing pampering session, but unfortunately, the customer service I received was incredibly disheartening from the moment I walked in. I asked for an acrylic set for my toes and a pedicure, a service I routinely enjoy and am fully aware of the cost for. Upon arrival, I was met with rudeness and questioned about my choice of service, with the nail technician repeatedly asking if I was "sure" because it was "a lot of money." This was incredibly off-putting and made me feel judged, as if they assumed I couldn't afford a service I genuinely enjoy and habitually get. It wasn't until I was on the phone with my boyfriend, expressing my frustration about being treated as though I couldn't pay, that their attitude subtly shifted. The pedicure felt rushed, and despite my interest in adding on premium services, none were offered. I wanted to treat myself to more, but the initial unwelcoming vibe and the speed of the service made me feel like an inconvenience. While I can genuinely say the actual nail work was well done, the overall experience was severely overshadowed by the poor customer service and unprofessional treatment. It's a shame, because I would have been a returning client and would have gladly spent more on additional services if I had felt welcomed and respected. Given the unfortunate political affiliations displayed in the salon, combined with the poor treatment, I definitely will not be returning. There are plenty of other salons where customers are treated with dignity regardless of their chosen services or perceived spending limit.
