I've been on the hunt to find a nail salon that can actually do clean designs and after going to so many different salons and being disappointed--this one is it!! Mary is so so amazing!! Her skills are top notch, she's always nailed my example photos perfectly. She is so skilled and meticulous--I highly recommend her. Also hospitality is amazing here--they always start the appointment by offering any refreshments, which is a cherry on top! read more

Ocean Nails & Spa - Menu gel with builder $88 - Nail Salons Near Me - Alameda, California

I was in the area and I needed a mani/pedi. I called and they said they could take me, no wait. The two ladies who did my nails were amazing. They were so sweet and went above and beyond to do my nails perfectly. The salon itself didn't smell like nail polish which is wonderful, and didn't have music playing, which I actually preferred because I could listen to my music or talk to the nail artists without being distracted. There is another nail salon across the street, so don't get confused. I 1000% recommend Ocean Nails!! read more

My new spot!! They are so polite and talented. Had a bad experience with one a couple blocks away so I got on maps and found this one. They sat me down right away while asking me what I wanted and prepping me for the next girl who was going to start on my nails. My phone was running out of charge and they gave me a phone stand and a charger while letting me watch a show on my phone! Mary is so talented she was so accurate with the nail designs I picked out. Laura shaped my nails so nicely. I will never go to a different shop again!! read more

JUST OKAY. The shaping of my acrylics are to my liking, and the marbling is quite nice. Not exactly the light green I wanted, but still came out very nice. Nicole did a wonderful job on my nails. NOW TO THE PEDICURE. I WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN. My feet was not cared for properly so when I left, there was still dead skin/callous that needed to be removed. Something a standard pedicure should be able to do. And the lady who did my pedicure cut the nail too deep on my one big toe, which started to bleed. The painting is precise and nice, but not worth it. Overall, I would only go back to nails done with Nicole only. I paid $122 w/ card. (+$2 fee for card) read more

Stopped by Ocean Nails for a last-minute gel mani, and it was a good experience. I called 10 minutes prior to arriving (less than an hour before closing) and they were willing to take walk-in appointments. Customer service was good overall, although the nail salon itself is pretty standard and they were pushing my mom to upgrade her pedicure. Parking can be a bit challenging on weekends, so it's best to try the residential streets and to walk over. The mani seemed a bit rushed, but it's likely since it was getting late. I think the prices are fair and the staff are friendly. Possibly worth visiting if you're looking for a pretty good nail salon. read more

With not even having been living in Alameda for a year and the nail salon that I went to did a fast and sloppy job;therefore,I decided to do another search for a good nail salon and Ocean Nails & Spa came up. I decided to give them a try. When I walked in the salon they welcomed me and asked what I wanted done,I said Gel manicure and pedicure. I noticed that they took their time and didn't rush. All of the ladies are kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend going to Ocean Nails and Spa. read more

Very please with the work. They never rush, they always take their time. My nails last me over two weeks until I need a fill. read more

Great experience! I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted for my friend's wedding the next day and they helped me find a good color that matched the dress I'm wearing to the wedding and adapted from a photo I found on Google at the last minute of what I was interested in. Super friendly, offered us water when I coughed and checked along the way while doing my nails to see if I liked what she was doing. The vibe was pretty chill - my friend and I were able to chat easily without feeling interrupted when the nail technician asked a question or chatted with us! read more

I recently had a manicure at Ocean Nails & Spa in Alameda, CA, and I was absolutely delighted! From the service to the quality and overall atmosphere, everything was top-notch. First and foremost, the service was incredibly attentive. The staff listened carefully to my desired look and gave me some great suggestions, making me feel like I was receiving personalized attention. The result was even better than I could have imagined. Speaking of quality, my manicure was truly exquisite, and the color lasted! Even after several days, it's still flawless, with no signs of fading or chipping. They truly cared for every little detail. Best of all, the atmosphere was clean, quiet, and comfortable, making me feel like I was on vacation. The staff were friendly and relaxing, and the entire experience was truly enjoyable.

They took an HOUR longer than what they originally stated. Block out LOTS OF TIME FOR THIS PLACE.

Had a great pedicure recently! My mom has been going to Nicole for years, but I pop in and out every so often. I was lucky enough to have Mary for my pedicure and she was so kind, and did such a great job! I work on my feet for 15 hours a day, so i splurged & got a deluxe pedicure and was so relaxed after!! I can't wait to come back and get both my hands and feet done next time! read more

Great experience. I have been coming here for a while but they recently changed management. My nails have never stayed this long without chipping or fading. Check them out if you haven't already read more

This used to be my go-to place. It was always busy but I got a good mani- pedi. However today I got the worse plain manicure - and from the owner! She seemed really depressed. Honestly, those food parks in the street have ruined walk-in businesses like this. 2 dry cleaners and nail parlors have closed because no one can see their storefront or park anywhere near them. read more

Well, I wasn't planning to get a pedicure...and then I thought about my trip next week to Cancun, Mexico, and then I though about how I just replaced my worn Birkenstocks....and now..my toes and I are officially ready.

I stopped into this spot while walking to another nail shop. I decided to give this place a try, since i didn't want to wait. There was only two guests inside so i know it wouldn't be a long wait for me. Wait time: 10/10 Paint job: 8/10 Cut/file: 5/10 Massage chair: 3/10 Foot massage: 2/10 I decided to give ratings based on my experience, but it can definitely be a better experience for anyone else! I love getting pedicures because i can't do them myself, and the foot/leg massage is the icing on the cake for me. But unfortunately, it didn't really feel like much and also was cut too short.. the total for my pedicure was $28, with a $6 tip split between two people. One did the cut/file, while the other painted. I would come back again, if the wait is not long. read more

Requested gel for the first time and less than 24 had to go back in as I noticed the nail polish was already peeling on my thumb from the bottom corner . I went back in to get it repaired and they let me know that one of their new girls did my nails. I would have expected that they would train their staff fully before allowing them to service customers especially as I paid $50 for this mani and also had to spend an extra two hours of my quality time to get it fixed before heading out of town on a week's vacation. Time I didn't have. I also went to the same girl the week before for a pedi and she scrubbed the back of my heel so hard that it started to bleed and left an open wound. AND I was parked right in front and they told me to move as they were saving the spot for their manager. I ended up parking two blocks away. I would think they would be more thoughtful towards their customers . I still went in after that to get my gel mani to give them the benefit of the doubt but now I don't think I will be returning at all. Really poor service and poor quality of work. ZERO STARS but yelp made me put in at a least one star which they didn't deserve read more

Received a full set, nails are uneven and different shapes. Some of the ladies were very nice but not the experience I received from the person doing acrylics. Won't be returning here read more

My technician was quite thorough. I could tell she cares about her quality of work. My only issue is my pedicure took over 2 hours. I did get a callous remover, but 2 hours plus is kind of ridiculous. I will give them another shot. They do do seem to provide high quality work though. read more

Called Katie and asked for a fill for ONE nail. Seems like she was in some kind of bad mood. Asked me if I could come back tomorrow - I cannot cuz this takes 5 mins or less. Told me she had a 5:00 pm appt. but it's 4:00 pm NOW. Asked me if someone else could do my Mani + Pedi. I didn't request that service. I show up at 4:30 pm. No one in the shop but one chick finishing a fill. I say HELLO to Katie and she says nothing. Huh??? I'm paying for attitude today? Really? Why????? I waited patiently while she finished the customer and said nothing. When she got to me at 5:05 pm, I got further attitude from her mean azz and I began to pray that I contain MY attitude cuz I'm well known to clown (without embarrassment) in the public. When she finished, she said, $5.00 - WTF???!!! How is that possible when it was $3.00 and then $4.00 for the last YEAR?? I would guess that the additional $1.00 was for ME making her display such a poor attitude. There are way too many nail shops in the Bay for me to tolerate nasty attitudes + pay for it. I'm cool and will not return. The NailBar just opened 20 feet away - I walked in to check it out: the woman smiled, asked if she could help me and they offer alcoholic beverages with their service -HELLO!!! read more

This has been my go to nail spot for 20 plus years. It was Fusion Nails before Ocean Nails & Spa. They're not super fancy but I'm pleased with my mani and pedi each time. read more
