It's a welcoming, clean and restful salon. We seemed to click and the Spa Pedi was so nice and relaxing. I so enjoyed the experience so much and left feeling like a Queen with some bling on my toes.

This was my first time coming in. The technician was friendly at first, but when she struggled to…read moreget the shape I wanted she started to get annoyed and when I asked her to fix one or two nails cause the nails were not filed evenly she mumbled something to the other technician- probably said that I'm picky, and I am SO not picky, anyone could see that she filed them unevenly, I even pointed at the nails on their board to the shape I want, and she still messed up. The name for the shape I wanted was- squoval, which is straight on the sides and soft oval tips. It's a simple shape, really. Another thing I didn't appreciate is that they never mention about a massage at the end of service- on your hands, arms, shoulders and back, which is not included in the price, its addition $10 which is not mentioned anywhere on their website either, although I did enjoy the massage but I would've appreciated a little warning in advance, I came in on a budget and left with $10 short. Not sure if I want to come back... I don't like when businesses trick people like that or have hidden services that are not brought up in advance ... (Nina, thank you for the reply, I appreciate it! I was going to post a new reply but it would not allow me for some reason, it would automatically take me back to my old review. But for the additional $10 charge, it was not a misunderstanding on my end for sure, I asked the technician at the register how much was the gel nails, she said $50, and immediately after that she said; and $10 for massage. She charged me $60+tax.)

Found Hai by pure chance and glad I did. I'm simple, single color, gel if available and needed a…read moresimple pedicure. First off, Hai works alone so if you're expecting a busy nail salon with several techs, not the place. She's been doing nails for over 20 years. She has a great story as to why she does this alone so worth asking about her story. Made me happy to support her business. I got a pedicure with gel polish single color and it was 55.00. Not bad at all for the area. My pedicure came out perfect. No complaints from me. She doesn't do artificial nails ( I don't do fake nails but for those who might). Hoping my reviews helps bring her some more business but not too much since I do plan to come back and hate for there not to be any open slots :)

I recently had a pedicure at my first nail salon in Oak Harbor, and it wasn't the best experience…read more I rarely get pedicures myself, so I was really hoping for a good one. The owner suggested I put my feet in the water while she picked my color, but I wish she had asked me to pick a color beforehand. I told her I wanted pink, but she ended up using red. Also, I wanted to warn everyone who's considering a pedicure there that she doesn't file nails or remove dead skin from your feet. I paid a lot for something I could easily do myself at home. Plus, I noticed she missed a lot of spots on the nail polish, which didn't look professionally done. It was very disappointing. She also asked how much I was tipping her in front of another customer and had me walk barefoot to her machine while my foot nails were drying. I would give no stars if I could, I'm definitely not going back to this salon.

Lena was very thorough and beyond pleasant (constantly saying Please and Thank You). My feet look 100% better, and I will return if I need services my next visit. Ambience is basic but everything seemed to be clean. No music, no TV. Tight quarters for a pedicure: The technician needs to interrupt her work to let anyone get to the restroom at the back of the salon.
