California Oasis Nail Salon & Spa

Amy is amazing. I love this place. My mani/​pedis last and look great. I will be back again!

After reviewing lots of nail shops, I came across Oasis and walked in to get a pedicure. Upon arrival I was seated right away. They handed me a water and began my pedicure. The staff was extremely friendly and the pedicure was great. It has been approximately 2 weeks and my French tips are still intact. My only complaint was that they didn’t separate my toes and the polish on my pinky toes kind of smeared. Overall, great service.

Outstanding customer service and a wonderful staff! Just as important the salon is super clean, organized, and up to date. Nancy did an amazing job on my nails and she’s very knowledgeable on nail shaping and designs. Will definitely be back!

Went back after I saw there was a new owner and was glad I did. Very nice French pedi with thin white tips just like I requested.

Another great local business that has earned my 5 star review. Granted, I’ve only been here once, and I don’t have an extensive amount of experience with nail salons, but lately, I’ve been stuck on one in particular, thought that nobody could compare, and was driving extremely far out of my way to get there. This salon happens to be much closer to me, and well rated with a lot of reviews, so I called to give them a try. I called at noon on a Thursday, and they were more than welcome to have me in at the time.
When I got there, there was only one other person getting a pedicure and nobody else. For mid-​day mid-​week, I suppose this isn’t much of a surprise. What really got me was the cleanliness of the place! Of the other 3 or 4 salons I’ve been to in Fresno, this one was over the top in appearance. I came in only for a pedicure and the whole experience was fabulous. The lady doing my nails was extremely nice and conversational, but not pushy in conversation either. She was focused on her job and very meticulous. Even better, I asked for a design on my nails, which they called the owner in to do, and she did a perfect job at recreating it. A base gel pedicure costs $ 35, which I’m pretty sure was the same as what I’ve seen at most other salons, and an additional $ 5 for the design, which felt fair (heck, for some reason, I cant even draw it on paper, so props to them for being able to draw it tiny on my toes!).
I wouldn’t hesitate to come here again in a heartbeat or tell any of my friends about it. A quality nail salon, period.

I forgot to post a review a looong time ago… but had a bad experience. The outside looks good, inside was dead, two different ppl had to do my nails cause the first girl wasn’t understanding what I was asking for. Gels didn’t last long. never went back!

This is not your typical nail shop!!!
I am always looking for great customer service and attention to detail everywhere I go. It truly feels like your being pampered in a serene, clean and happy environment.
Luckily a friend gave me a referral to come here and ask for Nancy the owner. I highly recommend her and her friendly staff. It’s exactly the experience you would expect!!! I recommend calling in advance bc they’re busy!

Just got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, couldn’t be happier! Wonderful experience, very nice ladies that helped me too. The massage chairs are wonderful and the shop is very clean. I will be back in 2 weeks!

Came to California Oasis for the first time yesterday and it was great. Nancy has been doing my nails since my now 6 year old was a newborn. I followed Nancy to Bella salon and now she’s owner of California Oasis salon. Kayla did my gel pedicure and did an awesome job and Nancy did my gel manicure and it was perfect. Friendly service, high-​quality massaging chairs… highly recommend this place!

Great experience! My gel manicure came out perfect. It’s tough to find a great nail salon in Fresno. Most places rush you out the door. The staff here is friendly and welcoming. They didn’t cut my skin, and the place is super clean! They don’t have each station cluttered with crap and all the tools are in the cleaning solution! I am super excited to go back! Thanks Kayla and Nancy! :)
Recap:
Nails look awesome
Cleanliness– beyond perfect! (I can’t stress how clean it is!)
Friendly staff
Must try this place!

Amazing job. Very clean and quiet, average price for gel pedicure. Nancy is extremely professional and polite. Monday morning pedicure very relaxing. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you. for the wonderful pedi…

Everyone needs to come very very good, very clean, nice owner, and talented nail Artist. Nancy is the best !!!. You can always count on quality. She takes her time. This is my new spot.

Nancy recently took over the shop. I have been here twice since then and will continue to come back! She is super sweet, talented, takes her time, and can do anything! Thank you!

I am from out of the state visiting my family for the holidays. I made an appointment to come here because it had overall high reviews and it was close to where I was staying. The overall presentation of the salon was horrible-​bare walls, old equipment (holes in the pedicure tech chairs), etc.
I scheduled a manicure/​pedicure and my pedicure was so painful because the lady (who doesn’t speak any English) cut me about 4 times. I kept telling her it hurt but she didn’t understand me enough to get it. I don’t like causing a huge scene, but I had to request someone else do it because that was awful.
My manicure was horrific. The tech doing my nails was rushing putting on the gel color and it almost seemed like she was not experienced at all. I asked her to keep my nails short and she cut them down all the way to where skin is tender. This was by far the overall worst nail experience I ever had. This salon is very shady and I don’t think they have the proper experience to run a nail business.

I met Nancy at another salon just once and followed her to this salon that she is now the owner of. She has been nothing but kind and accommodating and very professional to me and my friends. The salon is a clean and spa-​like environment and doesn’t make you feel like you are being moved around like cattle. She does full sets in acrylic and gel. She has a ton of gel colors and is willing to do any artwork off of Pinterest that you show her, and… she’s open on Sundays! If I had any recommendations, it would be that she hire more staff, preferably with lots of experience. You may have to wait a bit if you walk in on a weekend, without an appointment due to the lack of staff that often comes with a new salon, but Nancy will make you feel welcome and comfortable while you wait as she offers you a bottle of water. It’s conveniently located in the GB3 shopping center and thought it’s far from my home, it’s a quick trip on the 180 to 41 then the Friant exit. Hope you have a good experience too.

I went to this salon to try the new owner because the previous owner always turned me away.
I walk in on a Saturday afternoon and it is DEAD. When i called to ask if they were busy they answered the phone with «hello?» I should have taken it as a sign of something fishy.
I went to get a full set and although the polish selection process is nice, the technique was really weird.
They have all the colors swatched and they retrieve the colors for you. 1 star for that.
The final product of my acrylics was so thin that they bent when pressed. It looked and felt like just a glued on tip that was painted over. Its odd because she applied the acrylic super wide and thick then filed it all away.
The next day one of the acrylic nails cracked because of lack of strength. I went to my usual place and they said it looked like the acrylic was applied by someone without a license. Lesson learned. This place has something fishy going on.

Excellent salon. Very clean. Good work
New management. Very relaxing atmosphere. Less expensive than previous owner

Worst mani ever. Apparently this has changed owners and the new one is not good.
Pros:
$ 58 for gel mani/​pedi
Cons:
Dirty
Flies crawling on my legs
Nail tech took 5 minutes to do my mani. Crooked nails, didn’t file them down smoothly, nail polish bled to my skin.
Pedi nail tech took a 5 minute smoke break after starting the soak on my feet and came back reeking of cigarette stench.
He cut my big toe and it bled
They made a big deal that I didn’t want a leg massage because I’m pregnant.
Hardly scrubbed my feet.
The mani tech had me balance a pillow on my giant pregnant belly and it kept almost falling. I couldn’t see what the pedi tech was doing. It was stressful.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and I wanted a relaxing experience but it was awful. They didn’t understand why I was refusing a calf massage. And they were not friendly. They use their own nails to wipe off any excess nail polish and they push really hard. It hurts.
Go somewhere else.

Loved it! Michelle did a wonderful job on my nails. I was late but they were very accommodating which I really appreciated. I’ll be returning!

Probably the best nail salon I’ve been to in Fresno. I don’t get my nails done super often, maybe once every 2.5−3 months. But after going to several cheaper places that do an «okay» job I keep returning to Oasis even if it is a smidge more expensive.
Service is fantastic. They called me back to let me know they had a cancellation when they knew I had plans to get to post manicure. They also gave me $ 5 off for my birthday and I didn’t tell him it was my birthday. They take the time to get more connected to the customer because they have you fill out a form with your info on your first visit. They also always offer you bottled water before they start.
As a nurse, my gel manicures never last and I think it’s because of all the hand washing and hand sanitizer I use at work. But Oasis is the only place I have actually made the two weeks without chipping. My nail tech Greta has been doing nails for 10 years and does amazing nail art. And it’s not too gaudy either, she follows the pinterest trends and can create her own unique designs if you’re unsure of what you want. I told her to just have creative freedom and she came up with some fun stuff for my birthday (see the pic!)If your’e looking for nail art I’d make an appt with Greta. They also have $ 5 off a signature pedi with a checkin and coupons up at the register. This will be my go-​to place from now on.
