The man who did my pedicure was thorough and would've been great if he didn't cut me on one of my toes. The nail polish also seemed old and goopy which affected its application and made it look a little goopy. The plus side is the place is nice and large and there was no wait time when I arrived. Will I be back? Probably not. The search continues!

The Good and the Bad. On Friday, December 19, 2025, I went in around noon and requested a regular…read morepedicure and manicure. The good: I didn't have to wait long. Linda, the manicurist who attended to me, went out of her way to do a good job, gently cleaning my cuticles, applying the polish with impeccable technique, and working carefully. I fell asleep while she massaged my feet and hands. Everything seemed perfect; I left a good tip and left happy. But it was only 24 hours before the bad stuff appeared and ruined my experience. Linda's excellent work was completely ruined by the low-quality polish they offer there. That evening, while traveling to Albany for dinner with my husband, I noticed one of my nails was getting damaged, but I didn't pay much attention to it. The next day, we attended a breakfast hosted by my husband's company, which was attended by his bosses, colleagues, and their spouses. During breakfast, I noticed that the polish on all my nails was starting to chip. I had to hide my fingers while I ate to hide my embarrassment. My recommendation: the business should invest in better quality nail polish. I, for one, would return just for Linda's excellent service, but I would bring my own polish.

I dropped in 3 days before Christmas at 3pm. The receptionist said I could walk in then proceeded…read moreto tell me how lucky I am because I should have made an appointment. I just moved into the area and this was my 1st time here, but okay that's fine. The entire time she was answering the phone, making & writing appointments down, also getting up to assist people multiple times during my spa pedicure...umm, not cool but okay. She was rushing to file my nails and cute me pretty bad. She said the file was sharp but actually the file was dusty and needed replaced. The tech needed to slow down. My toe is still in pain days later. I also just noticed last night that my polish is chipped, which is why I'm writing this review! It's Christmas Eve, and 1 day of working from home, not going outside, and somehow my polish is chipped, smh...$60 bucks later, my toe hurts and my polished is chipped. Needless to say, I will not be frequenting this establishment again. Update: 3 hrs after my initial post, more polish chipped off. What a waste of time, money, effort and pain. Right before Christmas too... Good luck to anyone reading this. I hope my review helps someone!

I'm very picky when choosing a salon. Just recently I was traveling back to Brooklyn to see my nail…read moretech but the commute was a lot so I figured I'd try a place nearby. Initially, I wasn't going to give this place a chance due to the not so great reviews but figured I'd try them out. The first nail tech I had was Hao, but when he was unavailable he recommended I check out Sam. They're both good. Sam is ALWAYS up for a challenge & keeps me happy when I want my crazy designs. My husband also likes for her to do his gel manicures. The spa pedicures could def be longer, & at times I feel like the regular pedicures are rushed but overall it's a fun experience getting serviced here. You just have to choose your tech carefully, everyone's work is different. I haven't had any real complaints until this week. I called the store to ask their closing time & was told 8pm. On several occasions while there late, customers walk in & are still able to get a quick service done which is why I walked in. Two things that rubbed me the wrong way about this experience.. 1) The woman who answered the phone picked up & said "hello.. so I asked "is this Oc Nail? She replied yes. You should never, ever answer a business phone line this way; it's very unprofessional. 2) Upon arriving at the store a little after 7:30pm after a 30 min drive I encountered the woman who answered the phone & explained that I need a fill-in or one nail repaired. I was told they're closed, they took the last person @ 7:30pm. I asked if my nail could be repaired, again was told there's no one to repair it. I stressed my concerns to her about how she answered the phone & knowing what to say & what not to say because you don't know if you're speaking to an existing customer, a new customer or possibly someone looking to walk in for a quick service.. people are human, things often come up @ the last min, you have to expect any & all circumstances. I spoke to the owner & she also agreed with the lady so according to them I was in the wrong one & should never feel like that as a customer. My frustration stems from the lack of communication. Normally, another girl answers the phone. She always respectful, knows what to say & ask when customers call...her customer service is top notch. At any establishment, an owner is set to a high standard while ensuring their customers are satisfied. I'm usually satisfied with the service but wasn't satisfied with the way things were handled. Overall the business has a lot of potential, the owner's attention to detail is on point & they're work is good.. they just have to do better with communication.

I came here for a pedicure. The entire thing felt rushed and I didn't feel like she was paying…read moreattention to detail. And then I go to dry my toes and look up close and saw this. Nails half painted, jagged cuticles, paint on my skin, my toes looked crustier than when I walked in there! I asked for someone to redo them and they were very defensive saying that it's the color I chose or the close up photos, instead of admitting it was a horrible job done by their staff. The second girl did a better job but at this point I had been there for over an hour and feeling impatient. When I went to pay I was stunned they charged me $40!!! I said I didn't think this was fair that I didn't get a decent pedicure and had to have it done twice, spend extra time and the aggravation of it all, and they did not budge. After reading some other reviews I can see they are known for rushed sloppy jobs and they really need to vet their techs because I will never be returning here.
