    Awful!!! Horrible service, rude and poorly trained staff, overpriced for the s*** job they do, very dirty, please do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere! I came for a simple mani and pedi, asked to clean up the cuticle. The older lady did a very poor job, the skin was cleaned badly. Sometimes she would just perform a "cutting" movement with the clipper and not even touch my skin!!!! When I addressed the issue, she argued back and tossed the tools as said I should do it myself! What? More horrible stories but been there twice and had to go somewhere else to fix their sloppy and unprofessional AND unqualified job! Rude and overall incompetent staff. Now I understand why they always have availability when everyone else is booked. DO NOT GO!

    I love it here. This is my go to nail salon. It is close to my house and I can always get an appointment. They are friendly and priced right. The salon is clean and best of all...I leave with my nails looking great!

    I had a 10am mani/pedi. I was there 10 minutes early. I waited in my car. The staff showed up at 10:05am, started getting the salon ready while I waited, and we're not very personable. Prior to my appointment, I asked how long it would take so that I could plan my morning. I was advised to carve out 45 minutes. It ended up taking until 11:15am, after which I still had to dry. The staff was not pleasant and did a terrible job. There was nail polish all over my hands and not even covering my nails smoothly. Photo attached. I'M NEVER GOING BACK. What a waste of money. I had my manicure redone the next day at another place.

    Absolutely awful. I just moved in close so figured I'd give it a try. First of all DONOT get dip here they have no clue what they are doing. He finished my dip with no chip/gel top and light that is not okay... he cut me multiple times. And shaped my nails to the point where the look deformed.

    I don't know why it took me so long to come and try this place out for a dip manicure. Nice staff, good work.

    I just moved in this neighborhood and loved the fact that I was going to have a nail salon close by. But the question is...are they any good!? Well, I needed a fresh set put on (and I get no chip on top) and he did such a great job. He did a new way of acrylic dip...which, I've had the color dip, but never for the actual nail. It took longer, but they turned out so great. Also very reasonable prices! Just wanted to show some love and this will be my new spot from now on. Thanks!

    The guys that work in there, awesome. The woman just like other people wrote in other reviews is horrible. She's fast and sloppy. I told her my no-chip polish looked horrible. She then looked and said "No, it looks good." I said... "No, this does not look good" You decide. Would you want this on your nails for two weeks or longer? The picture is in the photos section

My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

    I noticed the business name change from Sapphire Halsted to Black Onyx when I booked on the Booksy…read moreapp and was admittedly a little hesitant until I saw Gala's name. I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!

For the pedicure.: the nail part was cute however the bottom and the side of my feet looked the same as I came.

Thank goodness we live in a city with options!

    I've found my new nail place. And actually, I didn't even realize I needed a new nail place…read more I'm in the process of trying to beautify and pamper myself in the days before I give birth, and getting a manicure and pedicure was on my list of desired treatments. I haven't had a mani pedi since at least October 2019, if not further back than that. They haven't been my #1 priority for pampering (that's a facial), but it do enjoy it. I learned about Dazzle Dry polish in the last year or so and have been curious to try it ever since, but it appears that there's only a few salons in the city that use it and so that's what led me to Spa Avenue. When I got there the woman who worked on me was ready to start immediately; it just took me a few minutes to choose my color. I suppose it was a fairly standard manicure/pedicure, but still I appreciated her attention to detail and she had a great touch--not too rough or anything. My hands and feet feel so nice and soft now. My hands had been really dry lately but they feel soft and supple a day later. Dazzle Dry is fantastic, so between that and the good service I experienced here that will keep me coming back. I usually don't get color on my fingernails when I get a pedicure, I just get them buffed because if they aren't chipped by the time I leave the salon, they are by the end of that same evening. Over 24 hours later, there's not a chip to be seen on my nails currently. It's supposed to last something like 7-10 days and I believe it. It's also great because unlike no-chip, it doesn't have to cure or anything and you can remove it with regular acetone nail polish remover I think. I didn't realize how excited I would be to be able to wear nail color on my fingernails again, or how much I love the look of it! I'm not kidding when I say I gave up on nail polish well over a decade ago and haven't worn it since, and now I can't wait to return and try other colors. I wish I had gotten the name of the nail tech who worked on me today because she was excellent and I'd love to request her specifically next time. But all the folks here seem to know what they're doing so I would expect to have a good experience with anyone.

The energy in Ocean Nail Spa is positive, there's nice sunlight that shines in, a kumquat tree in the front window, a TV to watch or magazines to read while you're waiting / having a service done. LOVE the massage chairs too. I really appreciate how Suzanne talked with me about the colors I picked and was so kind to me at my visit.
