    french tip full set

    I am ride or die for this salon, everyone is so amazing. Every single set I get is perfect and they are so kind. I couldnt recommend something more. :D

    My new uv gloves!

    Love this place! Helena is Amazing so hard working, friendly fast and efficient always trying her best to make customers happy! I like coming here and relaxing with a nice glass of wine. Thank you Helena and all the wonderful staff!

    Red polish on skin and nail.

    Nice people, clean atmosphere. I asked for nails and toes to be same color, but they're not. Toes still have leftover red polish on the skin. Extra exfoliating didn't do much for me. Just ok service and experience.

    Terrible work quality. Their chair is broken. The lady who did my toes nail did not even know how to do it. She was not cleaning and shaping them properly and patiently and just wanted to get over with it. And when I told her one side is longer than the other, she kind of gave me an attitude. She didnt even clean around my nails and she was just pretending she is doing it but i was watching her. She was not cutting off the extra skins at all. She didnt clean under my nails. Everywhere i go they spend so much time and they make sure they clean my nails well, but i recently moved here and this lady just made me disappointed. When she was taking off the old gel, she didnt even do it carefully. She didnt let it soak a little and she damaged my nails. I dont know about other people there. But this older lady is really bad at her job. Dont let her do it for you if you go there and dont sit on the third chair from the door because it keeps turning off and you wont be able to change the setting. I would not come back here again. Sorry, bad experience.

    After 2 weeks of time. Just grew out, no chips. This is dip over natural nails. :)

    Always great. The picture is a dip manicure after 2 weeks of wear. Just grew out, no chips. Clean and friendly service.

    I have been coming to this place for a really long time. Love the service. Unfortunately, the girl that used to do my nails moved so I have returned to my previous Girl .

    I went with two of my friends. The three us got pedicures. They had their finger nails painted. I had acrylic nails from another location. I wanted them to change the color and cut the acrylic nails to a shorter length, with a fill. Customer service was great. They offered us something to drink. I am happy we got to sit together and talk and have fun. I went in a second time to get another fill. Both times it was a very short wait. The place is clean and they do a great job!

    I discovered this spa when I dropped off my kiddo next door for violin lesson a few months ago. Thought it looked very cute and clean, yelped it and found out their prices were more than reasonable. So I decided to go for a pedicure today with my girl. And did I mention it's my first pedicure since the pandemic started. So I was super excited and this spa did not disappoint. It was an awesome mama and daughter date. Thanks to Ocean Retreat! The nail techs were very nice and gentle. I've had some really rough techs did my nails and I didn't like it at all. The lady who did my nails today was very gentle and took her time even though the place was a bit busy. I'm glad she didn't rush through it. We made appointments, but it seems like they do squeeze in more customers than I thought. But overall they did well in managing time. I love their massage chairs. So comfy and I really that much needed neck massage. The chairs also recline to your own comfort. I do wish that there were more colors of polish to choose from. They do have a lot but nothing caught my attention. Overall, this is a great place to get your nails done.

    Pricey cost to have dipping powder remove. They charged $20 for just that service alone which was more than a manicure
