Having had the worst manicure in my life somewhere else, and in need of somewhere good to have my nails done for my upcoming wedding, I was lucky enough to see the nails on a friend at our condo pool. She could not speak highly enough of Linda and how well she did nails, and her French manicure was exactly what I wanted. I went twice. The first time to meet Linda and make sure it wasn't a fluke, and had a regular manicure. She was friendly and professional. The salon was very calming, with colors I personally like: a yellow entryway, and a beautiful painted a mural of the ocean and regional birds.( as a recent transplant, I cannot get enough of them!) I Made an appointment for the next week, one day before my wedding. I have never had acrylic nails, because I am a physical therapist and they would get in the way, plus I am very active and my nails don't tend to grow long. I had no idea what to expect, even though several of my friends and even teenage daughter have/had them. She was insistent that I was happy with the length and shape. I wanted the pink color, and silver to dress it up. The entire process was fascinating, and Linda was kind and patient as she answered my barrage of questions. The end result was, and is, stunning nails for my special day. I will definitely be back. Thank you again, Linda!! read more

I have been a customer of Linda's since 2003. She is extremely knowledgeable in her business. Linda is outstanding at all the services she has to offer. She has been doing my nails and feet since 2003. She is the owner of Oceans Nails -Gulf -to-Bay. Linda does all she can to make customers comfortable and she is outstanding at what she does. She cares about every customer that comes through her front door. The women and men that work for her are very experienced good people. I would not go anywhere else for the services I receive from her business. I recommend at least once a week to people who comment on my nails and feet. I call her A true artist at nail art. The best I have ever seen. She is 10 stars instead of 5. Jill Hineman Clearwater, Fl read more

Thank you so much for a great mani-pedi yesterday! And thank you for compassionately giving me a spare plastic pedicure bowl liner so I wouldnt be drenched in yesterday's surprise storm! I had waited for the storm to pass but needed to eventually leave :) Fabulous service and experience! read more

Great little spot. The staff is friendly and get to know their regulars. I always love getting my manicure and pedicure there.

Unfortunately I got the worst pedicure and full set . The tech was just rushing my service . After a long work week I had no energy to complain about the the horrible pedi and full set I got , I just wanted to leave after she finished . ( paid 85+tip ) all my nails have different shapes read more

I've been here twice (both times as a walk-in, and both times for a gel manicure) and even though this is a pretty no-frills environment, the quality of the manicures have been great. I believe the lady who did my nails this time was Tina (I was getting them done for a trip and wanted them to be perfect!) and she did a wonderful job. It's been over a week since I had them done and they still look great - no chipping, no peeling. She took her time, shaped my nails nicely, but most importantly she didn't flood my cuticles! My biggest pet peeve when I get my nails done is when the nail techs flood my cuticles with polish and then they inevitably start lifting, getting snagged on things & peeling off. That's not the case here and both manicures I've gotten here have been perfect. I will continue coming here since it's on my way home from work. The price isn't bad either! I believe it was $32 before the tip. read more

Best nail salon in town and I grew up here. Been going here for years and, despite the bad and inaccurate review, have seen them work with many disabled people and treated them with respect and kindness. Ask for Linda and Ann for best services ever!! Highly recommend! read more

This salon is amazing. Linda take care of my nails and she does a wonderful job. My nails never break since I've been going to this salon. Highly recommend it!!!!! read more

I have been going to this salon for many years. My mother and sibling do as well. The ladies and gentlemen in this salon are extremely professional and always provide exceptional customer service. They always work with my very demanding medical work schedule. As to a negative comment posted by another reviewer, I have personally seen them provide great service to all individuals regardless of disabilities. I do recommend this salon to everyone I know. read more

The owner of the salon has been doing my nails for over 10 years. I have followed her to three shops. She does outstanding work and they are so professional. I have seen her care for individuals from all walks and life and certainly individuals with disabilities. I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about but as a long-term customer, for more than a decade, I can confidently say this is THE BEST nail salon in the county! read more

Absolutely zero customer service ability but maybe a good option for someone needing a service last minute and quickly. Came to this salon because I needed an apt before going out of town and my regular salon was unable. I called specifically asking if they had any techs able to do "hard gel" a technique that not many techs know yet. They assured me yes. Waited 15 minutes after my apt time to be seen only to have the tech try to give me an acrylic fill on top of my hard gel... convincing me it's still gel. WAS NOT GEL. I was however in a rush and needed to be out in an hour (after I ended up waiting for 15). To accommodate the techs did my nails and toes at the same time, finishing both services in less than an hour. Basically I'm walking away with a service I did not want on my nails but it wasn't terrible work and it was done quickly. read more

So this is the second time I have been here. The first was for a pedicure and it was fantastic!! I have an ingrown toenail and as a nurse, being on my feet all day makes it super painful. (Gory detail!) the guy actually dug it out and trimmed it up nicely. Plus, he was so careful and gentle it didn't hurt!! It felt so much better afterward!! Today, I saw Linda. She did a full set of the SNS nails. She was so nice, so knowledgeable, and my nails look beautiful!! I will definitely be back!! read more

I'm sooooo angry right it was closing time and my nails were rushed and on top of it he charged me 40$ I will return to get my 3 nails repair tomorrow by someone else read more

Def do not go here. Thirty bucks for a gel manicure and it looked like my daughters did it. It's all over my skin and not even near my nail bed. Took an hour and 15 and they refused to fix it. read more

They added gel powder to my nails and it peeled off like a freaking sticker for $35 ... I now have no gel on any of my nails and I am supremely disappointed in the quality of service read more

I have been going here for about seven years and the ladies here are great! It has switched owners recently yet same employees. Clean place, clean equipment, nice t.v.s and relaxing atmosphere. Weekends get busy so appointments are best. I have been having Yen do my nails for years and she's very talented. Any nail art you want she'll do! I would go from time to time to other places if I wasn't in the area and no where compared to this place! Yen is the best!! read more

Three of my acrylic nails came off in three days for absolutely NO REASON. I got charged over 40$ for them to break opening a clothes drawer and opening a bag of chips. Worst nail salon I've ever been to and the girl who did my nails was extremely rude. read more

I have been having professional manicures and pedicures for over 15 years and Ocean Nails is the best! About 5 years ago I moved from Tampa Bay to the panhandle due to work. I never found anyone there that came close to the quality of work and professionalism that I have had with the staff at Ocean Nails. While I was in the panhandle, every time I returned to Tampa Bay for a visit I would schedule an appointment at Ocean Nails. When I moved back just over two years ago, I have never gone anywhere else. I have observed the entire staff as they have worked with elderly customers and people with disabilities and have never seen anyone treated with anything but the greatest respect. I fully trust them to only refuse to do a procedure for a customer if they believe it would not be in the best interest of the customer, not for their own satisfaction. I have referred many friends to Ocean Nails and they all have been as satisfied with the care, quality, and professionalism they have received at Ocean Nails. read more

If I could post this review with no stars I would. My mother was a biweekly customer at Ocean Nails for many years as she worked at Publix in the same plaza. She was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, a rare degenerative neurological disease about 6 or so years ago and had to retire in December of 2015. This disease has taken every bit of independence from the strongest woman I've ever known. She is unable to care for even her basic needs alone and relies on others. Like most women she likes to look and feel good and enjoys getting her nails done. I took her to Ocean Nails in the afternoon on July 24, 3019 to get the color changed in her fingers and toes. The 2 women I spoke with refused to do the service stating ti wa too hard. I'm not sure what it too hard about painting the nails of a woman who can barely move. I'm sure they do the nails of young girls who may have a difficult time sitting still. They denied to perform a simple 15 minute service for a woman with a disability. Discrimination is against the law and people with disabilities are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act. Shame on you Ocean Nails. You need to educate your employees! read more

The best nail salon in Clearwater! I drive 30 mins from Downtown Tampa for Linda! They make you feel like family and they are SO good at what they do! read more

My mom and I enjoyed the private pedicure room! it was relaxing to be in the room away from all the drills and acetone smells. only bad thing is that some of our toenails are uneven shaped and little too long. Other than that good pedicure for decent price. read more

I went in and they did such a horrible job there is dust in them and the shaping was horrible just messed up and payed 40$

I absolutely love this place. I don't always coming every two weeks like I'm suppose to, but I wait as long as I can even though I wait my nails still stay on. I get regular pink and white with Gel on top and it's nuts it's been over 4 weeks and they are still on. I have no lifting nothing and they still look good. I came in today and Linda took the best care of me. my friend had Winston, They just have the best team of people here. my other favorite is Michelle she gave me the best pedi that's what made me come back the first time. Best place ever!!! read more

The first couple times I went here I was happy with how my nails looked but recently they have been so bad I'll never go back. The acrylic has been uneven and lumpy, and the length of each nail has been noticeably different from one another. I always get shallac and they tend to just glob it all over the nails which definitely doesn't help the appearance of the lumpy acrylic. The pedicures are OK. Not the best, not the worst. The last straw for me was the fact that every time I go in, getting the same services I always do, the price is never the same. read more

I have been going to Ocean Nails for a very long time !!! I've always had a great experience each time I go in. I've gotten manicures, acrylics, and pedicures. I have never had a bad experience here. The nail techs are all wonderful and I leave every time feeling relaxed and pampered. read more

I went to Ocean Nails to get a pedicure for my upcoming cruise. I decided to try the gel so that it would last 3 weeks through the cruise. I got the upgraded pedicure which I knew was $28.00 I knew the gel polish would be a little higher but was not told how much. When I was told the total $53.00 at check out I was shocked but what was a going to do I was done and leaving. I should have been informed of the cost when asked which pedicure I wanted then be told the gel was this much more. I could have bought 8 bottles of polish and done it myself for years to come. After the cruise I will get the polish soaked off and do it myself from now on. read more

I was charged different prices for the same services on 2 different occasions. I was charged more for a gel manicure because my nails were long.I asked 5 other nail salons if that was their practice,and they all laughed hysterically. The price for a gel manicure is set at one price at all salons I returned for a 3rd appointment-prepared to pay more because I really liked the nail tech (but not the owners) and when I arrived at my appointment on time- I was told that my nail technician refused to give me a manicure,,and I could chose someone else. I tipped this nailtech 20% each time for her services...so I am not sure what was up. Beware...I have since heard that this is a common practice....and they barter on the prices...and are not consistant.' I went to another salon nearby...and told them the story...infact I told the story to everyone I saw today..because I was in such shock that they refused my business cause I called them on their bad business practices and customer service. The female owner even tried to offer me a lower price than she normally charges for a haircut to get me to come to her...and told me when I return for the haircut to remind her that she had promised to do it fr me for $50 and not her regular price. That must have been what she did with the first mani-pedi,but on the second mani-pedi ,she was not there, Her husband was there and charged me a higher price than the first time...and argued with me..that I must have been mistaken...well I am 77 yrs old,but what neither of them knew was that I meticulously record all my income and expenses on a daily basis on my computer....and have held the position of national treasurer for a non profit organization for 15 years,ran my own business for over 40 years,grossing over 1 million dollars annually since 1977. I am a numbers person....and their numbers don't add up. I wouldn't be surprised if they got audited read more

I came to Florida on vacation from New Jersey. I used to live here 6 years ago and I would always get my nails done at this place and it was ALWAYS reasonably priced. I walk into this place with my best friend after I had told her so many good things about this place I ended up walking out MAD AS FUCK. My experience today along with hers was FUCKING TERRIBLE. I asked for a fill in and a pedicure for the both of us. Mind you my nails were already fucking long and pointy & my best friend's nails were long & coffin. I know that anywhere you go if you get your nails extended or cut, you get charged. In my case I had neither done. No extension and no cut. I get seated onto the pedicure chair and I start picking my colors. The only guy that works there was the one doing MY nails. He was talking shit the whole time about us to this girl that was doing my friend's nails from the pedicure and up to the fill in. He rushed my toes, did an ugly ass paint job, didn't cut my cuticles, NOTHING. I know I had more nail than he made them look. Done with that. Now moving on to the fill in. I asked for sharp ass pointy fucking nails to the point where they could hurt someone and he couldn't do it. He kept leaving them round. I got frustrated at that point and asked the lady that was doing my friend's nails to make my nails pointy because this fucking guy couldn't. So this guy caught a slight attitude with me while this lady fixed my nails. I sat back down for him to finish them. Not to mention this place is supposed to be cheap, right? Normally at least to every nail salon I've been in, the people who do my nails tell me how much the things I want cost so they make sure that I still want to go through with doing it. NEITHER OF THEM DID THAT. Having been to this place precviously when I lived here, I have never in my life had to pay $134 for me and my friend's nails ANYWHERE I've been. This guy told me my nails costed $30. I heard that come out of his mouth. I FUCKING HEARD IT. Me and my friend got the same fucking treatment. Hers were $30 too but, when I went to pay the lady who did my friend's nails, she changed the prices and told me it was $134. I'm questioning her now and asking her why the FUCK it's that much when the guy said my nails were $30. I pay the lady and walk out into my car and I'm sitting there until she leaves the store because this was around closing time. The lady stuttered when I asked her why it was that much. I ask my friend to grab one of their menus and we're both sitting in the car calculating our nails. I SHOULD NOT HAVE PAID MORE THAN $90. So I get my ass out of the car and my friend follows. We both walk back into the store where it's only the guy who did my nails and I say the same thing to him. "It doesn't make sense as to why I had to pay $134 close to $200." He was shook and I asked him for prices and he gave me completely different prices from what this lady told me. Now I'm thinking to myself here that they both spoke their language to each other and planned out to charge us MORE THAN WE SHOULD HAVE PAID. I was arguing with this guy and this guy had nothing to say but he gave me the card to call the boss and told me to call her the next day. I said "NO, CALL HER RIGHT NOW AND YOU BETTER GIVE THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY TO ME." That way he wouldn't have spoke his language telling his boss to say the prices they made up to make him look like he was right. He was SO fucking scared at that point. I talked to the boss and she also gave me different prices then the guy spoke his language and she changed them to what he said. This bitch told me she couldn't do anything for me but give me only $10 back after fighting with her over the phone and telling her that THEY DON'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE AND THAT THEY'RE FUCKED UP. I'm only staying in Florida for 3 DAYS. I spent half of what I had to spend for this trip on me and my friend's nails. I wanted to cry at that point because now I have $60 left to my name for this whole trip. I am very, VERY MAD. They made my first day being in Florida absolutely TERRIBLE. I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER COME TO THIS PIECE OF SHIT PLACE AGAIN AND ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE THAT I KNOW THAT LIVE AND VISIT HERE, MARK MY WORDS, THEY WILL NEVER STEP FOOT INTO THIS POORLY RAN, DISGUSTINGLY MANNERED PLACE AGAIN. Idk who you guys think you are to fool me but, this is my review to ANYONE WHO THINKS about going to THIS SPECIFIC nail place again, FUCKING DON'T. IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY & ESPECIALLY NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. Unfortunately, yelp has no option to give this place ZERO stars but, I figured this review would help. I can't make this shit up, I really fucking can't. Save yourself & don't bother. Fuck you guys. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. read more

I have been going to this nail salon for over three years now, and I have always received the best service during each visit. Linda is the most kind and loving nail technician that I have ever had. She is very precise and delicate with her technique. I always enjoy coming in to get my nails done because the staff are so friendly and kind. They are always accommodating and do a great job with special requests! Linda and the rest of the staff work very hard at their jobs. People that write harsh reviews are simply writing them out of anger. I highly suggest visiting this nail salon and trusting them with your time! I hope that those with unkind words that are writing reviews would better communicate to others, rather than take out their frustrations in a comment section. It's not fair for one review to determine the work ethic of this salon! read more

This was probably the worst pedicure I've ever had. It was rushed and the paint job was terrible. There wasn't a wait or anything. I have ingrown nails on both sides of my big toes. when the man began to cut too deep to get to the ingrown, it started to bleed. He didn't file and buff out my nails properly. read more

This a horrible place with absolutely no compassion. They refuse service to a lady who had been a biweekly customer for years! The reason? Because she is now unable to move her fingers! She is elderly and all she wanted was to have her mail polish removed and more polish applied. How could anyone great a person that way? Her son took her to the salon and said that she was crushed by their treatment of her! Neither I not anyone I know will ever use this salon again! read more

Yesterday I came in for fill and polish change, half way through her appointment came in and so she rushed my nails and the polish application appeared as if a child did them. So then I get my polish change on my toes and upgraded to a pedi, which was a bad idea too. So I come back today to have her fix my nails and she charged me again for their mistake, I didnt want to cause a scene so I paid and left...just really disappointed with the service and I will not return or recommend! read more

I have been going to Ocean Nails and Spa for over a year now. The owner (Linda) I followed from another salon. Linda and her staff are always friendly and are very welcoming to the needs of the customer. I always get a mani and pedi and the cost has been the same for several years. My experience with Linda has been exceptional and as a result several family members and friends have changed over to her salon for their needs. The décor has been updated, the chairs and all equipment are fairly new. They do a lot of business there, appts and walk-ins.. I look forward to my once a month "special" day. Thanks Linda and staff, keep up the good work!!! read more
