Ocean Spa Nails

I don’t usually get a pedicure, but my sister and I stayed in Ocean Beach about a month ago and she had left for a beach vacay with bare toes (who does that?!). We stopped in here because it didn’t look super busy and it was within walking distance of our hotel. We only had to wait about 8 minutes for the nail techs to finish up with their customers. We both went for a shellac pedicure because the sand at the beach will do awful things to normal polish. The gal who did my toes did an OUTSTANDING job. She was meticulous to make sure nothing was on my skin and that the color wasn’t streaky. I am writing this review MORE THAN A MONTH later and my toes still look as good as they did the day I got them done. I wish Denver had a comparable place!

I loveeeee all The people at The Salon. Ben is super amazing AND friendly and Jenny is perfect for pedicure… Always recommend for friends!

the shop was understaffed, therefore nails were rushed. I did walk in and they were able to take me in approx 30 minutes.
I have acrylic powder growing out with my own nails underneath. the gentleman did not buff down the acrylic where the fill would have gone and did not put base coat on my nails because they had acrylic on half.
I will not return.

I went here for the first time today, and I’m sure happy I did. I got a fantastic french gel manicure & a pedicure for only $ 47! The nail techs know what they are doing. Best french tip I’ve ever received! Would definitely recommend.

I love this place. Everyone at Ocean Spa Nails is so talented. They do the best gel French tip manicure I have ever experienced. It lasts through all the physical demands in my life. I get compliments regularly. You have to come see for yourself.

I LOVE coming here. The staff is friendly, and you can usually be in and out within an hour if you want… but it doesn’t feel rushed.
I try to come every month for a pedicure. It usually doesn’t chip until the 3^rd or 4^th week (if at all). Usually, the nail growth happens faster than chipping does.
They do a great job here!
Kind of hard to find parking on the weekends, but week days are usually fine.

I got a pedicure here two and a half weeks ago. At the time I thought there was nothing really special about the place — good prices, nice staff, decent work — but we are close to three weeks out and it looks like I got my nails done yesterday. Excellent work!

I got the Gel and they did a good job. Prices are really low and the service is good! Never too crowded, you can walk in easily without any appointment! I will go again :)

$ 12 for an eyebrow wax and lip wax is such a steal. I’ve only gotten a gel manicure there once but it was quick service and they lasted two weeks for $ 25. Call ahead to make sure they can take you since their staff is limited. Closed on Tuesdays.

I came in with no appointment. There were 3 employees and 3 customers. I told them I was in no rush… Just wanted a gel manicure. I was told to pick a color and have a seat. I chose two because I wanted my ring fingers different colors. The man who did my nail was very nice, efficient, and paid close attention to detail, making sure he painted every bit of my nail and cleaned off the excess. I was done in less 40 mins and he topped it off with a mini lotion/​hand massage! I was expecting to pay $ 30 but it came out to $ 25 for just the set! I’m surprised with how long they’ve lasted… I use my hands a lot and go to the beach, dig in the sand, and wax surfboards. If I’m in the area, I will definitely get my nails done here again!

I won’t go back. My first few visits here were great, friendly staff and very good pedicures. The past two times I have gone, there was a new employee there. Both times she did my pedicure and the experience was extremely painful. She is is a big hurry, like she’s trying to do the fastest pedicure ever. So she digs and jabs like crazy at my toes. I’m surprised they didn’t end up bloody. I reacted by saying «OW» and pulling my foot away a few times, she just ignored me. Then I actually said to her «slow down and take it easy». I’m not sure she understood, as she just smiled and said nothing. She did ease up some, but was still rushing. People were coming in as walk-in’s, no appointments, and they were telling them all that they could take them. So of course with several people waiting, and only 3 techs, they’re going to always be in a hurry.
I am searching for a new salon.

Love this place! Moved here a year ago and use to go once a month but decided to cut back to save some money. Today I went in, after not going in for a few month, and they still remember me and where I work etc. great customer service! Not only did they do a great job with my nails (I got a manicure and pedicure– the massage after they finish your toes and hands is amazing) they are so personable and friendly. Love this OB community!

I have been here a few times before but today is the day I leave a review lol I got gel for the first time ever today and I really like the way it turned out. I asked for gel on my fingers and toes and was convinced that I didn’t need gel on my toes since normal polish lasts long on the toes. I liked that they didn’t just go with it and charge me more for gel on my toes when I really didn’t need it. I wanted a peach color but they didn’t have it in the gel so I went with a teal instead with a glittery gold accent nail. For my toes, I did a cute peach color. I wanted to tie the color into my fingers by doing stripes so that it was super matchy matchy but I didn’t end up liking the colors together like that so she wiped it off. Decided to keep it simple. The massage chairs here are really nice and comfortable, which completely adds to the spa pedicure. The pedicure was nice and relaxing. My nails were trimmed, feet scrubbed, and legs were massaged before she quickly painted my toes perfectly. I really like the people who own/​work here. They are really nice and try to accommodate you to the best of their abilities! The shop is smaller so if you want to get your nails done here make an appointment for sure. They are definitely worth it! My nails (fingers and toes) usually last about two weeks. Maybe even s little longer for toes. I have liked the way my nails turn out every time I have been here. Super happy! I definitely recommend them! Forgot to mention… All of this with tip cost me only $ 52! Super win!

Had a pedicure done and too much top coat was applied. Before I got home, the polish and nail art had peeled off. I called and made an appointment to come back. Unfortunately they are closed on Tuesday — so I had to walk around with a bad pedicure for a day. But when I came back, they fixed my pedicure and included a manicure for my inconvenience. That’s good customer service, if you ask me.

This is my favorite place in San Diego to get my nails done. The prices are low and the service is outstanding! This is actually the best pedicure I’ve ever had.
I would suggest calling ahead to make an appt. because they are always busy!

Best pedicure ever! She did such a awesome job and really listened when I said I what I want. She definitely made my horrible feet cute and soft again! Location is close to my house as well. so definitely will be coming back again I have gone to a few places in ocean beach but this is definitely the best!

They don’t post hours anywhere, but every time I call to see if they are open and if I can get an appointment, they say to come on over. So — I guess call first before deciding to just pop in.
Spa Mani/​Pedi is $ 29 and is a good value. Everyone is very friendly. The place could be nicer, but if saving money on decorating keeps the prices low, I am down with that.

I went here for the first time on a Saturday morning. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and immediately assisted. The staff was friendly and so were the other customers who slowly started venturing in. I think after almost a year living in OB I have found my spot.

Came in based on the location and reviews from Unilocal and I agree this place is great very friendly and take there time making sure you get enough coats of paint and time to dry without feeling rushed out the door def call and make apt tho walk ins are having hour plus wait time
Just moved here from NH and this is my new nail salon location and price is right

Ok hands down, my favorite nail place ever! They do the best job and for the cheapest prices. $ 27 for mani& (spa) pedi! They spend so much time on cuticles, scrubbing and massage im always impressed. They also allowed my dog to sit next to my spa chair! Because they were booked at the dog wash across the street, It was very appreciated. I will only come here from now on. I would definetely recommend calling in before to make sure theyre not slammed because theres always loads of people that come in! :)
