I got a Gel-X manicure, and the quality of the service exceeded my expectations. The owner and her husband were both incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. You can genuinely tell that they care about their clients and take pride in making sure you leave happy with your service. The level of care and attention I received stood out compared to other nail salons I've visited.

Ugh, I hate to post a bad review...let me first say that the owners are VERY nice! But, this is…read morehands down, the dirtiest and most chaotic nail salon I've ever seen. Went here with the intention of just doing a regular mani/pedi for my wedding but a nail broke, so I opted for GelX due to photos. It took forever to get them put on due to shaky hands of the male owner and when they would be crooked, he would tell me my nail is crooked (they're not). My toe polish was smudged by the time I got back to the hotel so I had to re-do them myself. Anyway, like I said- the owners were very sweet and if I wasn't getting married the next day with a busy schedule, I would have waited and went somewhere else. It's just sooooo dirty and messy inside.

The place is basic, no frills, but unlike a lot of places the massage chairs work well, the quality of the pedicure is top notch, and the price is fair.

Disappointing Service Despite Good Work - Will Not Return I…read morerecently visited ocean nails hoping for a relaxing pampering session, but unfortunately, the customer service I received was incredibly disheartening from the moment I walked in. I asked for an acrylic set for my toes and a pedicure, a service I routinely enjoy and am fully aware of the cost for. Upon arrival, I was met with rudeness and questioned about my choice of service, with the nail technician repeatedly asking if I was "sure" because it was "a lot of money." This was incredibly off-putting and made me feel judged, as if they assumed I couldn't afford a service I genuinely enjoy and habitually get. It wasn't until I was on the phone with my boyfriend, expressing my frustration about being treated as though I couldn't pay, that their attitude subtly shifted. The pedicure felt rushed, and despite my interest in adding on premium services, none were offered. I wanted to treat myself to more, but the initial unwelcoming vibe and the speed of the service made me feel like an inconvenience. While I can genuinely say the actual nail work was well done, the overall experience was severely overshadowed by the poor customer service and unprofessional treatment. It's a shame, because I would have been a returning client and would have gladly spent more on additional services if I had felt welcomed and respected. Given the unfortunate political affiliations displayed in the salon, combined with the poor treatment, I definitely will not be returning. There are plenty of other salons where customers are treated with dignity regardless of their chosen services or perceived spending limit.

Two days after my appointment, one of my nails completely fell off, so I had to go back to have it fixed & all the glue is coming out the top. Now, just a few days later, another nail has chipped, and another one is cracked and lifting because it wasn't glued on properly. For how expensive this service was, I expected my nails to last much longer than a few days. Instead, I've already had to make an extra trip back, and they're still falling apart. Looking at them now, it's obvious the application wasn't done well. I paid premium prices for what feels like cheap-quality work, and that's incredibly frustrating. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this salon based on my experience.

The lady who did her nails was so nice and patient. My daughter smiled and chatted with her the whole time they even gave her a hair bow at the end. It's always really appreciated when a business is so good with kids! Kelly did my nails. She was hilarious and so kind and warm, even giving me a peptalk on positive affirmations. My nails came out beautifully! I paid $57 before tip for both of us! Thank you, Kim Nails! My six year old and I are so happy! We'll be back!
