I've been here twice and both times the service has been great and efficient. Prices are reasonable, got an acrylic gel fill for $45 before tip. They also offer wine, which is a great touch.

Tammy is my go-to nail tech! This place is accommodating to my needs when it comes to my nails and calendar. Be sure to reach out and book ahead of time to get top tier service. I find myself coming back every time. I usually go for a more natural look and that's exactly what I get Thank you Unique Nail Bar. Rose

Came to see Tammy today for the first time and it was great service I received from her. She gave me the best cat eye! Will definitely come back again!

I LOVE Unique Nail Bar! I switched here after going to a local happiest nails and becoming unimpressed with all the chippings a couple days after getting my nails done. I figured I'd try Unique Nail Bar because it's across the street from my work, and have not stopped going since. Tammy is the BEST! She always takes care of my toes and fingers with the utmost care. Ever since I've been coming here I've never had to return to fix any chips or messed up nails. They always last me at least four weeks! Just take a look at my Easter nails, I'm so excited and happy!

Tammy is amazing !!! She takes such great care of you . My nails are beautiful! Make sure you ask for Tammy

Great service. Tammy is amazing. I always have her doing my nails. She knows what I like all the time. I love it

SNS dip manicure #59, thought it was going to be more pink and less "clear". Overall satisfied.
Brigette B.

Went here for a walk-in dip manicure mid-morning on a Friday. The staff was attentive and the wait time to get to a station was less than 5 minutes, though it filled up quickly after me. The nail technician answered my questions and was thorough in making sure I got exactly what I wanted. The dip did not include a manicure treatment, no soak, cuticle trimming or massage and took a full hour. The final result was sleek and natural. It was a little pricier than I anticipated ($50 for sns dip) but they accept card (for a $1 charge)

Short Review: place is great, staff are friendly, prices are moderate and fair, overall great experience! Please make an appointment or be flexible with waiting. Long Review: I've been coming to Unique Nail Bar since I moved to Oceanside in 2019. I tried a few other places in the area before I settled here and haven't left since. The staff are always the best and will do whatever you ask of them. Their goal is truly to make the customer happy. They get busy and can sometimes have too many people at once, but if you make an appointment or are willing to be flexible you'll never have a problem. As a person who doesn't mind waiting they always try to get me seated asap and I appreciate that. My nails are always great and if they're not it's because I don't say anything. I know if I don't like something's, they will always fix it. I have been having Tammy do my nails for a while now because I have one crooked nail and she always manages to make it look great where others have failed. She's willing to do whatever I want and they look great every time. With that being said the business itself is relaxing and a peaceful place to be. Highly recommend!

All I can say is WOW!! This nail place is an absolute gem. The high ceilings and bright atmosphere are definitely a plus. I came here for an acrylic fill and I am so impressed. Diane took her time with my nails and made sure everything was perfect. I always ask for very short acrylics and she really listened. The size, shape, thickness, and length were consistent with all the nails. I don't think my nails have ever looked this good! I will be returning as soon as these grow out again.

Michelle S.

I have been here several times and absolutely love my nails every time. The salon is clean and the staff is friendly and highly skilled. I also like the set up where there is a high top nail bar on one side and the pedicure chairs on the other. I have gotten a pedicure, manicure, gel manicure, dip, and acrylic full set and fill.

I cannot say enough good things about Tammy! She is truly amazing at what she does. I first started seeing her at her previous salon, and when she moved, I didn't hesitate to follow her -- that's how much I love her work. Tammy is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and always makes sure my nails look perfect every time. She's also so sweet and welcoming, which makes every appointment something I look forward to. I'm so happy I found her -- I won't trust anyone else with my nails!

Gel manicure
Jeanette G.

This place is decent. Everyone is nice and attentive. You get what you ask for and no wrong doing on the nails. 3 stars because $15 upcharge for gel is insane ontop of the $35 dollar charge. The vibe is peaceful.

I am always apprehensive of new nail salons as I'm fairly new to the area still and have only been to two other salons in the few years I've been here. However, Luxe Nails Lounge has surpassed and exceeded my expectations with the last three visits. Julie is my new favorite artist. She listens, explains why she can or can't do things and is very transparent, and loves to try new things and gets excited with every idea. I will be coming back for her and the staffs overall warm and welcoming attitudes. Very accommodating with drinks and they even helped get my bangs out of my face when Julie was doing my nails lol.

He's seriously talented when it comes to detailed designs. Their prices are also really reasonable for the quality you get. I'm honestly so grateful I found this place and highly recommend :)

A great pedicure! I made an appointment, and did wait a bit to be served (about 15 minutes) but…read morehonestly I've rarely been to a salon that actually honored appointment times. I got the sea spa pedicure, which included a massage and a few masks. The pedicure was thorough and I appreciated how sanitary everything was, alcohol spritzed after every step and sealed tools. I've had pedicures be rough or unpleasant before but this was great, will definitely be back.

So, I usually wouldn't do this but I think we should stand up for ourselves more at the nail salon!…read moreThese services are expensive!! I had a bad experience last week at Vdara. I asked for short dip powder nails and she tried to give me a gel X fill instead without telling me. However, I have been getting my nails done often for years, so I noticed what she was doing and I reminded her I wanted to switch to dip powder this time. She said no, we'll do gel X fill it will be better. (She means faster and easier for her instead of doing a new set.) I said no, I want dip powder. Finally I convinced her to do what I wanted. As we proceeded to do my nails, I kept asking her to file them shorter and kept noticing that they were crooked. She would try to move onto the next step and I would ask her if she was done filing noticing that they were all crooked and uneven lengths and shapes, so I would tell her, she would try to fix them, but she just could not. They kept coming out crooked and different lengths. Meanwhile, during the whole service, the phone keeps ringing and she keeps going to the front to pick it up, her cell phone keeps ringing and she keeps picking it up, people keep leaving to check out, and she kept leaving in the middle of my service to go check them out. This happened around ten times. Made my service nearly 2 and a half hours for these nails. I go to pay, and when it comes time to tip, she reaches her neck over-the-counter to make sure that I press something so I felt pressured to leave her a tip that I did not want to give because it did not seem like she cared about my service at all. (I'm a server. I ALWAYS TIP. And this time I did not want to. That says a lot). I get in the car to take a final look at my nails and see that they're all crooked and choppy/flaky and that there's a black mark on my WHITE nail on my pinky. I honestly just started tearing up, I know it seems silly but $80 for these simple little nails and a terrible experience right after work, almost taking three hours? I wish I never came here and just waited a day to go to my usual salon! Nevertheless, I went home and filed them all myself, which removes the sealing of topcoat, so now I will have to go spend more money on new nails sooner than usual because these will not last long. Waste of money unfortunately...

This is my second time in years getting my nails done here, and I only tried again bc I thought maybe they would have improved in years gone by. I had my nails done two days ago with gel and tips done long. The first attempt by one woman was terrible. The owner then said she'd fix it. At first when done I thought it looked fine but as I left I realized they were just as bad. It's very difficult to build a round natural nail shape in the middle with gel. My nails look flat and warped and not even. Maybe they are better with acrylic but I'm extremely dissatisfied with my gel nails. They're basically wasted money. So unfortunate. I don't have it on me to call and ask for my money back. They also already look like I need a fill. I shortened them more so they'd look a little better but I'm embarassed. I dont get my nails done often but needed to for work and now have to get them redone somewhere. SMH. Maybe the photos don't reflect but they look worse in person.
