    I've been here a couple times to get my pedicure done and they are very kind, they take their time. Today I decided to get a manicure and Ethan did an amazing job. He is very artistic and took his time making sure my nails looked exactly like the reference photo I showed him, he even threw in some gold to make it prettier. Definitely making this place my new regular.

    I've been here twice and both times the service has been great and efficient. Prices are reasonable, got an acrylic gel fill for $45 before tip. They also offer wine, which is a great touch.

    Tammy is my go-to nail tech! This place is accommodating to my needs when it comes to my nails and calendar. Be sure to reach out and book ahead of time to get top tier service. I find myself coming back every time. I usually go for a more natural look and that's exactly what I get Thank you Unique Nail Bar. Rose

    Came to see Tammy today for the first time and it was great service I received from her. She gave me the best cat eye! Will definitely come back again!

    I LOVE Unique Nail Bar! I switched here after going to a local happiest nails and becoming unimpressed with all the chippings a couple days after getting my nails done. I figured I'd try Unique Nail Bar because it's across the street from my work, and have not stopped going since. Tammy is the BEST! She always takes care of my toes and fingers with the utmost care. Ever since I've been coming here I've never had to return to fix any chips or messed up nails. They always last me at least four weeks! Just take a look at my Easter nails, I'm so excited and happy!

    Tammy is amazing !!! She takes such great care of you . My nails are beautiful! Make sure you ask for Tammy

    Great service. Tammy is amazing. I always have her doing my nails. She knows what I like all the time. I love it

    SNS dip manicure #59, thought it was going to be more pink and less "clear". Overall satisfied.
    Brigette B.

    Went here for a walk-in dip manicure mid-morning on a Friday. The staff was attentive and the wait time to get to a station was less than 5 minutes, though it filled up quickly after me. The nail technician answered my questions and was thorough in making sure I got exactly what I wanted. The dip did not include a manicure treatment, no soak, cuticle trimming or massage and took a full hour. The final result was sleek and natural. It was a little pricier than I anticipated ($50 for sns dip) but they accept card (for a $1 charge)

    Short Review: place is great, staff are friendly, prices are moderate and fair, overall great experience! Please make an appointment or be flexible with waiting. Long Review: I've been coming to Unique Nail Bar since I moved to Oceanside in 2019. I tried a few other places in the area before I settled here and haven't left since. The staff are always the best and will do whatever you ask of them. Their goal is truly to make the customer happy. They get busy and can sometimes have too many people at once, but if you make an appointment or are willing to be flexible you'll never have a problem. As a person who doesn't mind waiting they always try to get me seated asap and I appreciate that. My nails are always great and if they're not it's because I don't say anything. I know if I don't like something's, they will always fix it. I have been having Tammy do my nails for a while now because I have one crooked nail and she always manages to make it look great where others have failed. She's willing to do whatever I want and they look great every time. With that being said the business itself is relaxing and a peaceful place to be. Highly recommend!

    Michelle S.

    I have been here several times and absolutely love my nails every time. The salon is clean and the staff is friendly and highly skilled. I also like the set up where there is a high top nail bar on one side and the pedicure chairs on the other. I have gotten a pedicure, manicure, gel manicure, dip, and acrylic full set and fill.

    All I can say is WOW!! This nail place is an absolute gem. The high ceilings and bright atmosphere are definitely a plus. I came here for an acrylic fill and I am so impressed. Diane took her time with my nails and made sure everything was perfect. I always ask for very short acrylics and she really listened. The size, shape, thickness, and length were consistent with all the nails. I don't think my nails have ever looked this good! I will be returning as soon as these grow out again.

    I cannot say enough good things about Tammy! She is truly amazing at what she does. I first started seeing her at her previous salon, and when she moved, I didn't hesitate to follow her -- that's how much I love her work. Tammy is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and always makes sure my nails look perfect every time. She's also so sweet and welcoming, which makes every appointment something I look forward to. I'm so happy I found her -- I won't trust anyone else with my nails!

    Super happy I found this salon. I had been going to the same nail tech for many many years and had…read moreasked her about doing gel x nails and she kept saying no not at this time and that kept happening. I wanted to get away from acrylic as I had been doing them for over 30 years. So I recently had to go in for surgery and knew recovery was going to be over a month so I took off my nails and that would be the perfect time to move on... So fast forward to today (6 weeks post surgery) finally ready to get a new set so I went to Yelp to find a new place that had high star reviews within 25 min of my house and found this place. So called and made a same day appointment and was set with Ivan. I'm so happy Ivan took the time to listen to what I wanted and knowing this was my first gel x set he talked about the process and we were ready to go. Then he checked in several times to make sure I was happy with the length and shape which I totally am. So needless to say Ivan's my new nail tech!!! So glad. Also brought my daughter who got a gel manicure from Amy and she was super happy with her service as well!! You won't be disappointed.

They do a meticulous job no matter which technician ends up doing my nails. I usually just get a regular spa pedi/mani (they also do gel and special powders, plus acrylics) and I am always happy with the results for the price. The place is clean and they take walk-ins, but I have had to come back another day with an appointment since they were booked one time when I walked in. I have always been greeted right away with a friendly attitude, and they give you a small bottle of water when you sit down for your service. I came in without an appointment a week after getting a pedicure there, because I stepped on something at home which caused my toenail polish to chip, and they welcomed me into a chair right away and touched up that toe and a few others that needed it free of charge. I will always come back to Forever Nails!

Not to mention, my nails have consistently come out better looking than the inspo I bring. My FAVORITE thing about them? They are SO efficient.

    So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...
