DO NOT GO. acrylics: NONE of my nails are even. they're barely even similar. the lady got the paste all over my fingers and left it there for me to pick off once I left. but the place was very clean. read more

I love this establishment. Their hours are very conducive to my lifestyle and even though I have to travel a bit more, it's worth the travel. The technicians are very friendly and they really try to please. I enjoy getting different styles so every time it is different And I'm never disappointed the massage chairs always work and that is a plus when getting a pedicure. the prices are very reasonable. There is never a time when I am turned away. I highly recommend this place. read more

Ocean Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Ocean View, New Jersey

Terrible experience from the moment we walked in the door. I booked a 5:45 appointment for myself and my daughter. When we arrived the nail technician assigned to my adult daughter was unprofessional from the start. She was very grumpy and rude. When my daughter asked her to shape her nails and cut her cuticles, the nail tech mumbled under her breath, was very rough and literally banged the IV light into her nails twice causing dings in the polish. My daughter thought it was an accident the first time but then it happened again. The whole gel manicure took no more than 20 minutes and looked uneven and sloppy. It was clear to us that she was ready to leave when we arrived, was told she had to stay and took her aggression out on my daughter. I got a regular pedicure. My nail tech apparently didn't shake the bottle before she applied the polish causing my nails to have purple and pink tints to it. The "foot massage" if you could call it that, lasted about a minute a foot. When she was done I didn't even wait for my toes to dry. I had to get out of there. It was the most stressful awkward and uncomfortable experience either of us have ever had at a salon. Also, be aware that there is a service charge if you use a credit card. I wasn't told about it until after i paid. read more

I used to go to this salon regularly up until about 2 yrs ago. I had one specific technician who was rude, rough and down right unpleasant. She was argumentative when I told her she was hurting my while massaging my legs (I ended up with bruises up and down my legs). I figured 2 years had passed let me try them again with my one daughter. We arrived and wouldn't you know I get the same girl. Equally as aggressive, rude and argumentative. it was too late to leave as the pedicure started. she was scrubbing my feet so aggressively that she actually cut my feet and she put so much soap in the water and on the sponge that my feet were actually burning and so are my legs. it actually a bubble bath while nobody else in the pedicure chairs had anything near what I had in in mine. I had asked her if she cut me because my legs and feet were burning and she said no, and stated that I must be sensitive to the soap. she emptied the tub, took the liner out and then told me to put my feet in and started running the water. I asked for a blue liner to go back in, that I was not putting my feet in without a liner. She stated "you're almost done. It's fine just put your feet in." I said absolutely not, not without a liner. She grabbed a liner, put it in, was not happy about it and proceeded to continue my pedicure. She then grabs the little toe dividers. she put one set in between each toes & She then decide she's going to put two sets in the point where my one pinky toe was sticking sideways off of my foot and began polishing my nails. she did one coat of polish and she started to put the clearcoat the finishing coat on and I said to her did you do two coats? I knew she had not, but I wanted to see if she would lie and she did lie and she said yeah she had well. My daughter and I both were sitting there and thought she had not the technician next to her saw she Had not and said to me, would you like another coat? I had said yes, please and it was done. I will never return to this establishment which is a shame because the owner is nice and so the other technicians but two times within two years with that girl ruin ruined it. By the way she did cut me... my heels are actually raw and one is bleeding. Ridiculous! read more

The services here are OK, some nice technicians and some very crabby ones. Although it was just average, it was my go to place because the prices were low ... well like everything else the prices keep going up. Today I had a pedicure and was told the price was $35 but my credit card was charged $38.50. When I questioned a 10% markup I was told that it was the credit card service fee, but I wasn't informed prior to the charge ... it felt very scammy. Really done with these fees but frustrated with an inflated fee of 10%. Think I'm done with this salon. read more

i went to this place three times now as a walk-in & they accepted me right away. i did call a couple hours ahead but still, they got the job done and well may i add. i also didn't really feel like they rushed into it - i was worried they would rush because they were getting busy while i was there but it didn't seem like that. the place is modern & feels relaxing. they had the kind of chrome powder i've been looking for & harry does my gel nails really well. i would come back again. read more

Horrible experience. Did not listen to anything I asked for and completely ignored my photo. Do not go !!

I find the owner, extremely rude. Will never return. Definitely not a good vibe. You come to the shore for a great experience and then you have to deal with an unfriendly environment. read more

Walk in for pedicure try to pick up the price book at the register to see what kind of pedicure I could get one of the workers tells me no no directs me To the board. Gel pedicure $40. It was mediocre. No massage involved, had to ask her to make my water hot 4x. I go to pay and the lady tells me $50 and proceeds to tell me the board is wrong price. I can't stand being blindsided. read more

Ocean Nails - Cut nails too short Bleeding! - Nail Salons Near Me - Ocean View, New Jersey

Made appointments for 2pm for one pedicure and one manicure and toe color change, walked in on time and were told to wait. One of us got seated for a pedicure at 2:20 and the other was told by the owner to wait for an open chair with a major attitude and was told to not be rude while waiting. Appointments for 2:15 and 2:30 were taken and a few walk ins as well. By the time they were "ready" with no chairs open the pedicure was done and we left. The staff was incredibly dismissive and rude and the pedicure was mediocre at best. Will not be going back. read more

Finally got a chance for alone time and decided to get a pedicure to relax. But instead of relaxing the person I had had the biggest attitude ever. She was shaking her head the whole time and would stare at me without even making conversation. I'm really upset everytime I leave here my nails look awful. I don't even ask for anything fancy just basic polish. And the massage was maybe 1 minute total. Waste of money and sad to admit I prob Amy won't go read more

This is my second time at this nail salon. I went about 1 year ago for a pedicure. I thought the people that worked there were rude and they did a mediocre job. Fast forward to 1 week ago. I went back against my better judgement. It is October and it was a weekday. Only 2 customers were in the salon. Maybe about 6 people working in there that I saw. When I walked in I immediately regretted coming back. They were not friendly at all. The girl that did my pedicure never spoke to me. Within 5 minutes, the sanitary liner must have gotten stuck in the drain. So she just ripped it out and never replaced it. No explanation to me. No apologies. Nothing. I paid them cash and they never thanked me. I will never make the mistake again by going there. It was convenient because I was driving by. Buyer beware! They are not friendly. And the craftsmanship is bottom tier. read more

I had a gift certificate to get my nails done. I didn't use it right away. I used it for my nieces wedding. Well when I stopped in to make appointment for the next day I was told they could take me then which was at end of day. I think it was because my gift certificate wasn't used right away and they didn't want to have me come when they were busy because they had my money already. The staff all disappeared in the back and left me under the nail dryer. No one ever came back out. So week later I showed someone my nails. They didn't look right and was told I had a nail fungus in my fingernails. It has been 5 years and my nails have never been the same. I don't give them 1 star but had to to do review. Shame on them for not caring about me because they already had my money. read more

My nails were $70 for a basic french tip with a design that she rushed through. I come here very often and recently had a terrible experience the last 2 times. I repeatedly made sure the guy made sure he knew what I was talking about when I wanted something very basic with my nails, and he clarified. He still did them wrong and they looked awful. read more

Terrible experience. I have loved going here but this last time was awful. They're rude to all customers and rush through your nails. They're aggressive to the point your skin bleeds. I had someone who must've been new doing my pedicure. She had no idea what she was doing and my toes look terrible. It looks like a 5 year old painted them. There is polish all on the skin of my toes. read more

Horrible experience. I downloaded this app to leave this review. I wish I could leave a 0/5. This place is beautiful and clean but the service is absolutely atrocious. I have given this nail salon several tries after trying many others in the area. 1. I walk in and get asked, "what do you want?" The woman at the front desk was most likely the owner appeared to be a very rude woman with attitude and snarky looks. 2. A woman started my nails and then went to someone else. I waited 30 minutes for another woman to continue. This did not only happen during my manicure, but pedicure as well. 3. My cuticles were torn and cut on every finger and toe. This has never happened to me before. I currently have several small scabs and sore areas on my fingers and toes. 4. I was rushed to get out. I tried to make small talk and conversation but was completely ignored. 5. There were children in the building helping the workers the entire time. I am concerned for this place. I hope you do not have the experience I did. Good luck if you choose to go to this establishment. The owner should be ashamed. read more

I just want to preface this by saying that I've never left a negative yelp review before, I am a small business owner and I am also very experienced in customer service/retail roles. I came in for a gel manicure and pedicure on a Friday. I was asked to come in for an earlier time than I originally called to make an appointment for to fit a bridal party. Totally cool - happy to do it. Showed up at my 9:30 am appointment early and was still told to wait. When they worked their way down the line to me, I was put in a pedicure chair and was given the soak and scrub treatment and then told to wait for someone to come do my color. I got color on my feet at 11:00 - 90 minutes after I showed up. I was trying to be understanding - they were busy, and the staff that actually performed the services were quite polite and apologetic. They also did a good job to that point, aside from the wait. I was then taken to a table for my nails, and at that point asked for a quick service - no massage or anything - just color. The woman who painted my nails did a great job shaping them and I was pretty pleased. Until TUESDAY - 3 DAYS LATER when they started chipping! A GEL manicure. I was not able to get into the salon until Thursday to fix this. I called Thursday morning, asked if they could redo them, was told yes, and then showed at the time I said I would be there. They again made me wait. They tried to just cover the chips, and I said I wanted the whole thing redone. Like, if you bought a bowl that was supposed to last six months and it lasts one, would you be satisfied if the maker was just like "oop, let me just glue it together. You can still tell it's broken but, meh, who cares?" They said they'd redo it but I'd AGAIN have to wait. Eventually, after 25 minutes of waiting, I just left. Only giving this place two stars because the man and woman who did perform the service were nice and the place is nice and clean. The woman who seems to be in charge (first chair to the right of the register) is rude, and short with her customers. TLDR; My gel manicure chipped after 3 days. This place seems nice at first, the workers are nice, but the woman who seems to run it is rude. read more

Polish peeled off next day. Called Manager Tiffany next day who said it was "the product" but was back in Phila and couldn't go back for redo.When I came back in and mentioned she just shrugged and said too bad. Another time charged for spa mani pedi even though I asked for regular from older woman working there. Tiffany said too bad and did not adjust bill. Won't be going back. read more

I was getting my nails done for a special occasion of engagement ring shopping. I wanted a pale pink French with the dip powder as I don't like the gel. I told them I did Not want the bright pink for the base 2 times at the beginning. I ended up with the bright pink base and when I told him it was wrong he said it was the only one they have! And I ended up with a mostly gel manicure with dip powder underneath that is not smooth because I didn't get to wash the dust off before the gel. So... the complete opposite of what I wanted. Then I walked the mile back to my car totally aggravated because there is no parking. The pedicure was fine but I hate my nails. read more

Charge of 5% to use credit card is a rip off. My business will go elsewhere. 2% understandable.

I had a terrible experience at this place. If I could give it less than one star I would. This place took forever and some employees were very rude and did not care about the customers nails. Overall,I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

Went to have a gel polish removed and another on. I was given a nail tech named John. He was very rude and rough while doing my nails. When I questioned him about the removal of the gel since it was different from other salons he told me that he was prepping my nail to hold better and not chip like my previous gel application that he criticized as being done poorly. Well turns out his was not as good as he thought as this gel didn't even last me a week, it chipped within a week whereas most gels last at least 2 weeks. Prices was reasonable but i will not return due to the poor quality of the the application. read more

I've have been here a few times and never had an bad experience like I had today. I made an appointment yesterday for 10:15am, so I wasn't a walk in. The salon was clearly busy but I made my appointment just like everyone else. Every other guest had a nail tech who took the time to give them a relaxing experience. The owner who did my nails RACED through my manicure. I'm all about getting in and out however you shouldn't rush through my manicure when I'm paying you for a nice service. Like I said my appointment was at 10:15am...I was out the door by 10:37. My nails are crooked, bumpy and the chrome powder is all over my cuticles. Poor service from the owner. read more

It says on the door they take walk ins but when I arrived a lady asked me if I had an appointment and acted like she was doing me a favor by fitting me in. Also, when I went to pay, the same lady told me to use the ATM machine. I watched people before me pay and use their credit cards. I'm not sure why it was a different story for me. The prices were right and my technician took her time. For that reason, I will probably give this place a try again. read more

Worst manicure and pedicure I have ever experienced! Result led me to needing to do my polish over myself as very inexperienced staff. I will not go back to this location as there are lots of better and professional choices. On top of it, insisted on taking cash and if you really insist or need to use a CC, they charge 3%. Do not go here! read more

Ocean Nails - What a beautiful job on my nails! Just love the little Santa. Love this place! - Nail Salons Near Me - Ocean View, New Jersey

Went in to get my eyebrows waxed. The woman waxed off half of my nice thick eyebrows that every other eyebrow tech I've ever been too has complemented me on - leaving thin, completely uneven, straight lined brows. One side starts in line with my nose while the other starts in line with the corner of my eye. Not even close to even. She took away all of the shape. I didnt feel comfortable asking her to fix them because the only way she'd be able to try would be to make them thinner and worse. Absolutely awful and no one said anything about how unhappy I was with the service. Very unfortunate because I have had good service there in the past but I will not be returning. read more
