Came here for a bridal party nail date before the wedding. I had two inspo pictures that I wanted to merge together and she did them perfectly!! I'm a picky person when it comes to nails. As a detail oriented person, I just skip it. I'm a super happy customer with these nails! Clean spot, nice workers, free parking, and it was quick! I'd recommend this place to you and your gal pals :) read more

I've gone to Ocean Nails three times for pedicures. The place is always clean, and the service - especially the massage - wonderful. I've found the men to be more personable than the women who work there. read more

By far the lowest quality gel pedicure I have EVER had. Thao did my toes. I had old gel on my toes that needed to be removed and she removed the old gel BY USING A CUTICLE NIPPER TO RIP ALL OF THE GEL OFF. Gel needs to be SOAKED OFF. That should have been my first to clue to get up and leave right there. She filed my toes so roughly I had little cuts on my skin. Cuticle work was nonexistent. She filed my heels so carelessly and fast that she rubbed the skin on my ankle or foot more than my heel, which of course HURT. Massage lasted less than 30 seconds per foot. The gel on my toes is uneven and has bubbles. One week later, it's lifting at the edges. They had the audacity to charge $53 for this garbage. Avoid this salon at all costs. read more

Worst dip powder with tips I've ever had. My nails look worse now than they did when I arrived. Pictures speak for themselves. Nails are twice as thick as they should be which means this won't last. Worst part is that all of my nails have uneven thickness due to technician not Knowing how to do this manicure with tips. read more

I'm new to the area and I am so impressed with this salon! My manicure was relaxing and looks fantastic, my nail tech, Lan, helped to create the perfect mix of a dip and gel shimmer top coat. The pedicure was amazing as well, and I didn't feel rushed! This is for sure my new favorite nail salon! read more

Recently moved from FL where I regularly got dip manicures. The appointment & service were good but after only 1 week almost half my nails have lifted and a couple popped off. Previously my dips lasted 3-4 weeks. Very disappointed. read more

The only reason they get one star is because I have to in order to post this review, they don't deserve any. I would never recommend nor go to Ocean Nails again. Their techs need more training, staff needs to quit covering up for a poor job. I have posted pictures. They were willing to give me no eyes back , if I gave back their nail polish. Are they going to give me back the polish that they took? read more

I live cross by and come here when I need a lady minute mani. I have had a pedi and a couple gel manis here. The space looks nice and they are always able to get me in right away. A couple of my gel manis have not lasted two weeks which is disappointing :/ I went today and saw Leah and got a French gel mani. She was very nice and remembered me from past visits. One thing I love about this place is they give you a back massage after your service. My French gel mani was $40 read more

This is my go-to nail salon. I am always helped and seated within the first 5 minutes of my appointment. The technicians are professional and personable, making the experience comfortable and familiar. I've been going here since before Covid, and they have always given importance to the safety and cleanliness of the salon, themselves, and all customers. My nails always come out looking the way I expect and ask, and I love when they put their own twists abs character into the final touches. Lan is my FAVORITE technician. She is honest, creative, and exellent at her job. She takes her time and is always considerate of mine. If you keep going to this salon you'll become familiar with the system and the technicians. It's always worth the wait. read more

I have been going to Ocean Spa and Nails since 2006. Unfortunately I went this past week for mani/pedi for the last time. A box marked clean tools is where my manicurist pulled clippers from then after using th hem on me put them back. Then the scrubby used on my feet was washed and put back to use again on some one else. When I checked I was told by Angela that if I were going to give a tip please give it to her in cash...fortunately I had cash and ended up giving her too much of a tip since didn't have smaller blls..that was it for this loyal customer since 2006..I wish you well. read more

My experience started great as I was able to get in right away. The lady pushed a few options for gels on me, even though I was looking at some different colors. I didn't understand if the polish was better or what. She ended up making my pinky finger bleed. Besides that she did a decent job and the massage was nice. I didn't appreciate them not giving me a receipt after I asked for it for it a business expense. Would not go back unless in a bind. read more

I've been coming to this nail salon every 2 weeks for the last 3 years. I've been getting manicures every 2 weeks for 5 years now and I'm very particular about who does my nails. I'm lucky to have long, natural nails but some nail salons in the past have damaged them or thinned them to the point that I had to took vitamins! Lan, Lou and Julie and the rest of the staff are great. They familiarize themselves with their clients very quickly and remember details. What really got me hooked here was their quality of work. I did end up spending $15 more for the same service here, but it was worth it. I'm not sure where these negative reviews are coming from. I think a lot of people forget that manicures don't last forever. Rarely do they even last 2 weeks, depending on the type (gel, dip, regular.) When I've had a nail chip or polish chip, they have always fixed it for me at no charge and they have always been good about that with other customers too. This place is clean and they sanitize their equipment. They even sanitize their pedicure area after each wash. I will continue going here for as long as they're open! read more

I'm a long time customer of Ocean's - it's nice and convenient. Most of the staff is very gracious. I'm sadly writing this because I've been disappointed with my last few appointments. There is no consistency with the nail techs - some do a great job, while others - well not so great They've lost a few employees - Leah and Angela with no replacements hired, others taking weeks if not months long vacations leaving them short staffed. The staff is tired, when they are overworked (working hours without breaks) they become crabby, and do sloppy work. Additionally, the inability to speak English with some of the tech's is difficult, trying to tell them - my nail is split (for example) and it's not understood, it's frustrating. I'll continue to be a customer - convenience and price. But, my tolerance is swaying. I hope they get it together. read more

It didn't happen instantly, but quite a couple people came up to me and welcomed me. They asked what I was going to do and gave me some polish choices. Some of the women's English wasn't perfect, but I would give the job they did on my nails a 90%. The interior really played out the name. It felt like an ocean inside: a fish tank, some blue paint. It was quite busy with the holidays, but it didn't feel chaotic. And not only did I like the cleanliness of the store and the polish performance, but the prices were so affordable! Less than other places, plus, they do designs, which is only like $5-$10 vs. $20! I will definitely be recommending this place and coming back here again, especially as I live near to it. **** read more

Make me bleed once shame on you, make me bleed twice shame on me. $32.00 for a pedi done by a sadist...even the massage made me want to scream out in pain. Didn't catch the technicians name but I got her twice and was so scared the second time I got her because I knew what was coming but was too uncomfortable to speak up. Two days later I'm still bleeding. read more

Ocean's Spa and Nails - Bloody toe : ( - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Used to go here for the quality however after leaving on Saturday with now 2 infected toes from a regular pedicure I'm not sure I trust this place to change my color. Little to no communication from the tech other than hovering over me while I try to find a color and asking me how much of a tip I was leaving her. I got nothing even in the remarks of "Yes your nails are dry". Now I have to go to the doctor to find out how bad the infection is from a simple pedicure. Suggestion to the owner - hire quality over quantity and sterilize your instruments!!! read more

i continue to go back to ocean spa because of the incredible service i get each time! they are not only very affordable but also very diligent and do a great job! read more

The woman who did my pedicure was very sweet and did a fantastic job, but unfortunately the experience was ruined by miscommunication from the woman who was working the front desk. She quoted me a price for a manicure and pedicure. I had said that I wanted gel. At the end of my pedicure she came by and told me a price that was 33% higher than she had quoted only minutes earlier. She claimed she assumed I only wanted gel on my hands, not my feet. At no point had I told her that I only wanted gel on my hands, and she watched my pedicurist give me a gel pedicure and didn't say anything until the end. When I expressed my disappointment at the error, she not only refused to honor the price she quoted but was also very short with me. My poor pedicurist was very apologetic (it was not her fault). This was a rare treat for me and I ended up having to skip the manicure altogether due to cost. I will not be back. read more

The worst pedicure I have ever had. Painful, unprofessional, all around not what a nail salon should provide in etiquette.

I had a very pleasant experience at Ocean's Spa and Nails. I walked right in and was in a chair within 10 min. However, I paid $35 for a gel manicure that is chipped and peeling within 7 days of my manicure. Not worth the price. Wish that they would offer to fix it for free. read more

We love Oceans! Hardworking and caring staff; clean establishment; great selection of colors and services. We have been going there for years an always feel welcome and well taken care of. read more

love this place! never had a bad experience with them and the prices are good - pretty average for manicure!

This salon is relaxing and the shoulder massage they offer while nail are soaking is really nice. So far I've gone for 3 gel mani pedi and enjoyed each one. read more

When they opened, they were clean, customer focused and did a great job. Now their cleanliness seems to have waned. The woman who helped me was sniffling and rubbing her nose with her hands. My pedicure didn't even last a week. read more

I went to Ocean's and got a dip manicure. This manicure was $40 and more than gel and a regular manicure. I needed something long-lasting and it lasted for ONE WEEK. I am beyond disappointed and will not be returning. I am not one to give bad reviews, but I felt the need to share my poor experience. read more

Honestly, I loved it. I just moved here from California and have been to every sort of salon. This is definitely pricey. 35 for a gel mani, but they massage your back and your arms - unreal. The gel does look like it may peel sooner than two weeks, so I will follow up, but the massage was so good that I'll be back. First time I've ever skipped the pedi with my mani because they were slammed. I've never seen so much foot traffic in and out. It was great though - ill be back even though it's pretty pricey. read more

Place is clean and conveniently located. The gel manicure I got looked ok, but is peeling a week in. My biggest problem with this place are the employees. I don't appreciate being pressured to tip in cash and getting an attitude when I tell them I'll put it on the card. If I'm paying you $40 for a gel manicure that only lasts one week I hope to get good attitudes from employees. PzWill be taking my money somewhere else. read more

Love Leah and Julie. Leah's been doing my pedicures for several years. I don't go anywhere else. She's the best!

I called just to ask if they offer chrome effect manicures, as I was going to try the place out. It was clear no one could understand a word I was saying. Someone responded back what their business hours were. When I said I wasn't asking the hours, I was passed to someone else. When I asked my question again they just made unintelligible noises, told me to call back in 5 minutes and hung up on me. I won't be trying it out. read more

Well the staff was very nice. She held conversation and was very easy to talk to the entire time. However I called ahead and made an appointment and still had to wait twenty minutes when I got there. My gel manicure also didn't even last a week which is what compelled me to write a review. Three of my nails have large chips already. I will try other places. read more

Angela gave me the best manicure ever with the added bonus of TWO neck, shoulder & upper back massages for no additional charge. I will be back, and you should definitely give Ocean's a try. read more

I've been going to Ocean's Spa for the past couple of years, and love the environment and the nail stylists. They are professional and the quality of their work is consistently excellent, with very few exceptions. I love the Spa itself--very relaxing and the giant fish aquarium is wonderful to watch as I get manicured. This is a great group of people, with very little turnover in staff, which tells me it is also a good place to work. The location (near Starbucks) with plenty of on street parking make it very convenient, even if you don't live near Excelsior and Grand. read more

I just moved to the area, and was so happy to find a nail salon as good as the ones back home. Julie does an excellent job with acrylic nails and gel polish, and I even get a chair massage while my nails dry. I highly recommend them! read more

The name is misleading, it is a drive through service. Their manicures/pedicures are terrible. The lady (sorry forgot her name) gave me a 15 minute pedicure, spent 2 minutes removing the cuticles (snap-snap) and scrubbed my feet for a minute. At first I thought it was a joke and thought she'd come back and do some more scrubbing. I realized I was wrong when she started applying the nail polish. I walked out upset with a terrible pedicure (if you can even call it that) and w/out a manicure. I ended up giving myself a pedi/meni at home. Avoid this place! read more

This is our favorite place. Inexpensive, but clean. They consistently do a very nice job. My friends and I don't go anywhere else.

Walked in and got service immediately. Tina did an excellent job on my pedicure! Nice salon. Will definitely be back!

I made an appointment and after arriving 5 min early to make sure I was there on time, they couldn't fit me in until 30 min after my scheduled time. I got a gel manicure and a lot of times when I will get those they will last close to 3 weeks but this one started peeling up after 4 days!! Slow service and poor quality read more

I love oceans! My friends and I visit this nail place all the time. They have great prices and the atmosphere is one of the best I've found in the area for this price range. Of course it's no spa but it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a nice place to go. read more
