List Best 18 Nail Salons in Oceanside, CA (Part 2)

Sicily Buchanan Ladies are very friendly, my nails feel healthy and look amazing! Atmosphere was calming and they played good music!

Beth Daniel I love this place! Jennie does my lashes and they’re the best I’ve ever had. By the end of two weeks I had at least 75% retention. My nails and toes always come out great too.

Tessa Agape Went in early in the morning sat there for over an hour getting a fill done. The young lady was rushed the whole time. I didn’t say anything to her until I saw that her eyelash appointment came in. I suggested to her very gently very kindly someone else should finish my nails so she could get to her appointment. She didn’t want to have someone else finish my nails and 5 minutes later when I saw my nail polish was coming out ugly ,again I said to her honey it’s OK I don’t mind if someone else finishes my nails I feel bad because your appointment is waiting for you. Next appointment rude lady walks over looks at my nails and looks at me like if I’m bothering her and walks away. then I’m told that rude upset lady is the one that’s going to finish my nails when she’s done with her client. So now I’m sitting there waiting for her to finish my nails And I’m looking at my nails and notice that there’s red glitter on my nails and there’s lint bubbling up my nail, so it’s not on the surface. It’s inside nail requiring someone to fix this now. The color that I want is a very clear pretty feminine pinkish color with this bubbling up lent and with this red glitter, that is not going to be something I can do without this other stuff popping out through the color. Also a pinky nail has a dent across the nail. I asked for the manager they told me the managers not there. I waited another five minutes, here’s my Saturday morning I have to leave I’m obviously dressed up nice I have somewhere to go and again i said I just need to speak to the manager and they denied me the manager. I told them I needed to be treated like the paid customer that I am. I told them I need my nails fixed and I need my nails to look pretty. They just uh huh me, no one said anything but uh-huh. I told told needed to see the manager so that they could fix my nails. The ladies were not even responding to me. I hope the manager can make this right.

Kimberly Lorraine I went in for dip powder, and asked for white(DD11) dip powder. The nail tech proceeded to paint my nails pink, and insisted it was the right color until I showed him on the nail card and he realized I had been repeatedly asking for 11. He said he’d fix it, which I appreciate! However I’m still pretty disappointed with the end product. He never asked how short I wanted my nails to be, didn’t correctly file them (some of my nails are jagged) and the polish itself is uneven/ doesn’t even go all the way to the cuticle. I feel like I’ve got week+ old nails after paying about 60$ to get them done, and I’m not sure how long they’ll actually hold up.

Tifo Hoang 0 stars if there was an option! CUSTOMERS BEWARE! THIS BUSINESS IS UNSANITARY AND INCOMPETENT! My daughter and I went to Revive since they accept walk-ins so that she could get the gel off her nails, and have her nails cut and cleaned up. Pretty simple, right? Apparently NOT! The male manicurist working at the 1st station on the left jumped from his current customers station (when she went to wash her hands for 1 minute) to work on my daughter, then jumped back to finish the other customer. After that customer left, he moved my daughter to his station and did her nails without sterilizing the equipment and cleaning up the area from the previous customer including using the SAME towel that he had used for the previous customer! He had pulled the clippers out of an Altoid box that was full of nail clippings and when he cut my daughters nails, her clippings were flying all over the place. I could tell that he was hurrying up to finish my daughter but didnt think anything of it and wasnt paying much attention when he was working on her nails since I figured he knew what he was doing. On the way home, my daughter showed me her fingers and told me all about what I mentioned above. He had absolutely ruined her nails by shaving off the top of her natural nails! Now her nails are dull looking and rough. She used to have such beautiful nails. I dont understand how a person / business can do this stuff and be able to sleep at night.

Hope Kim is so sweet and her work is amazing! I’m so glad I found this place from Yelp. I’ll always come back :)

Kat Phoenix Ladies, Tony is THE MAN!!!! He knows what you want, and he is precise and his skills show!! I made the mistake of getting my nails done elsewhere the last time cause he was fully booked for a day, and I will never do that again. I included 2 clips of the sets that Tony did. Will always return!!!

Paola Aracely Ilescas Really wanted to give a chance to this place, but my gel French manicure did not come out great. It chipped within the first 3 days and Ive had gel French manicures from other places last weeks. The shape of the arch wasnt great either. I will say the pedicures are amazing, the hot stone massages is so relaxing. I will be coming back for a solid color gel pedicure but NOPE on the manicure.

Laura Ollis **Review for Happiness Nails** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Happiness Nails while temporarily in town to care for my mother during her cancer treatments, and I couldnt be happier with my experience! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted and taken back without an appointment. I was fortunate to be attended to by a talented nail tech named Jason. Jason was incredibly kind and attentive, taking the time to understand exactly what I wanted. I requested Christmas-themed designs, and he exceeded my expectations! His artistic skills are truly remarkable; he hand-painted beautiful snowflakes and intricate details on my nails that looked as if they were stickers. The shape of my nails was perfect, just as I had envisioned. At one point, when Jason and I didn’t quite understand each other, Lily, another nail tech, stepped in to assist. Her help ensured we were all on the same page, which made the process even smoother. I truly appreciated their teamwork and commitment to making sure I was happy with the final result. It impressed me was that Jason effortlessly matched the red polish to my toes, which were already painted from when I was home, on the first try! It’s clear that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his clients. If youre looking for a place to get your nails done, especially with festive designs, I highly recommend Happiness Nails and Jason. My nails look absolutely amazing, and I left feeling pampered and delighted. Thank you, Jason and Lily, for making my day brighter!

Tricia T I will not return, the guy that did mine was so rude to me. Never spoke to me except to repeatably tell me to NOT MOVE! He kept twisting and turning my fingers and scolding me. I have never had an experience like this it was terrible. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. At the end he had me hold my hands up side down in front of a tiny fan and left to torment someone else. 20 minutes later he never returned or even looked my way. Truely a nightmare experience! He was at table 1. I have never been told I move or been treated so unkindly and I paid for it!! I left a tip but really regretted it after I left! I can’t recommend this place. Spend your money where you have a good experience! Anywhere else! I got an acrylic nail fill.

Deanna Williams Such a great experience! Was a walk in and seen right away. My nails look beautiful and it’s the first time I feel like they aren’t in the way! Will definitely be returning! Next time, I’ll add a pedicure!

Lindsay Gag V Nail salon is the best! After years of salon hopping I finally found my spot last year and have been consistently going back for fills and pedicures and am always very happy with the results. The owner, Steve educated me about bio gel and over the last year, helped me grow my natural nails super long. For a past acrylics user this was so exciting! Steve, Fawn and the staff are all so kind and skilled. My nails have never looked better and I always receive compliments on them!

Ayesha Mohammad This is gel nails (with some builder gel at the base) but all length is my natural nails! ✨ I loved how much effort the staff put into how my nails were done! Firstly, he made sure to talk with me about what I wanted and made sure to look at all of the details were exactly what I pictured! He even helped me match the colors to the reference! Secondly: he took care of my natural nails when removing the previous set I had and preserving the length (something I’d expressed I’d wanted). He even put on some builder gel since my nails were quite thin and explained what he was doing and why so I would be informed! I feel so fortunate to have found this lil gem! They really have fostered trust and respect with their community and I can see it in all of the people who came in while I was there. There were quite a few regulars!

Melissa Domingo Went here for a gel x and it was horrible. I live in Orange County and have a normal lady but thought since I work in Carlsbad let me stop in. Biggest mistake I made. She didn’t match the nails to my finger size. They didn’t even last a week and popped off 5 days later. 65$ for gel x, 20dollars more than I normally pay especially since I don’t get them long is ridiculous. What a waste of money. My ring finger is infected from the carelessness. And they didn’t even last a week. I wasted money for sure. Disappointed my experience wasn’t like everyone else’s. After I got my eyebrow waxed and the lady dripped wax al in my hair and face. So careless. Then making smart remarkers why I have long eyelashes and there to long. Will never go again

Nessa M Unfortunately disappointed with my experience. The lady doing my nails cut my cuticle to where I was bleeding. The color I chose was not the color I ended up with. They said the color you choose is not always what’s in the bottle so it can come out differently. So basically the color you choose that you want may or may not be what you get. I never get my nails done, this was a little treat to myself for getting a new job. Just super bummed out. :/ For reference: I asked for DD196. Darker shade and no glitter. What I ended up with was clearly a lighter shade and has glitter in it.

Samera Taki First time here; disappointed The salon is nice. Quiet, with peaceful nature videos on the TV. Cleanish... acrylic nail bits were just swept onto the floor and bottles were partially open. But the table and seat were fine. I got Gel Ex for the first time. Ive gotten my nails done a handful of times in the last 5 years, so Im no expert. But there was no cleaning of my nails before or after buffing, and the first coat of glue/polish was just applied on top of the dust from the buffing. Also, when she cut my natural nails beforehand, she just cut them straight across and did not cut/file the edges of my natural nails. I had to ask for the edges to be smoothed and evened out multiple times, and even then had to fix the sides myself where it was still rough and my natural nail was not filed to blend into the gel ex (as they had not initially been filed). There is also a small air bubble on one nail and a several "balder" spots where the polish was not applied evenly. She did my cuticles very gently, but they are not even and one finger has the base glue/polish extending into my cuticle. She also did the primary shape of the gel ex with great care, doing a short almond shape as I requested. Overall I was there for 1.5 hours. Im not sure if they are inexperienced in gel ex; if Im correct its a relatively new method for the industry. But for $65 (for just plain color, no design) I would have liked nails that I could walk out of the salon with and feel good going straight to a formal event-I did not. I had to finished the filing myself and I feel the need to buy a similar polish to cover the gaps. From other review pictures, that beautiful, perfect manicure look is achieved at this salon; but those manicures must not have been gel ex. I am hopeful that these will at least stay for a few weeks and give me some of my moneys worth, since I picked gel ex for the longevity. Edit: Im dropping my review from 2 stars to 1 because it has been 5 hours since I got my nails done and one already broke. Second edit: the nails were not great, but the shade was pretty so I figured I would keep them and see how long they lasted; I did not expect 5 hours. Not wanting to risk other nails being broken, I returned to the salon the next day to get the gel ex removed and was met by rude customer service. The nail tech who removed my gel ex was the same one who saw my review. He refused to refund me for the botched job, which I politely accepted without argument. Despite this, he seemed personally offended by my review; I had tried to word it nicely, pointing out both good and bad. Still, he initially disagreed with my request to just get the nails removed. He insisted they were nice, then said he didnt see any air bubbles (he had already cut that part off). I understand that negative reviews are not what any business wants, however the solution to this is not to try to convince a customer that their opinion of a poor service is wrong. He told me that nails done at salons break often, and that I wouldnt know this, since, per my review, I dont get my nails done very often. This is true; I dont get my nails done often. But I have gotten them done before with acrylics. Im also an adult with the ability to think logically, so I knew it was strange and probably bad form when, during my actual nail appointment the day before, my first nail tech buffed my nails, did not wipe them, and then applied the adhesive directly on top of the dust produced from the buffing. I also knew, from both experience and common sense, that professional nail salons should not be adding so much adhesive that it oozes onto the cuticle, should not be doing cuticles so poorly that they look worse than before, and should not apply polish messily along the edges of the nail. I also know that Ive never had an acrylic nail break like this before, and so quickly. So: $65 for worse nails than at home. They did a bad job and did not own up to it. The bad job was enough for a negative review; the bad customer service was enough to keep me away forever.

Lindsey Thuell Lovely spa. The relaxation area is open air to the ocean so you can sit and watch and listen to the waves before and after your treatment. It’s a smaller spa and all the areas are coed (so robe/swimsuit required) which doesn’t bother me. I got a really awesome 60 minute basic facial and it was a bit on the pricey side. However, my provider Sarah was fantastic and knowledgeable. All the product is top tier and high end and my face felt cleansed and super moisturized. I would come here again.

Cami Ciaramitaro Its a beautiful, tranquil, and opulent experience at Sunnys Spa! I have had some of the most amazing massages of my life there! Most recently, Amanda did an incredible 90 min massage and Sarah gave me a facial that made my skin GLOW!!! I couldnt recommend this spa more! If you were on the fence, its definitely worth spending the day here looking out over the beautiful Oside pier!

Garrett Bubnack From the warm welcome at the front desk , to the most beautiful lounge space and amenities ~my experience at Sunny’s Spa was 5/5. The massage therapist was very knowledgeable, well practiced, and friendly! The massage room had the nicest table. It adjusted in so many different ways to fit my perfect comfort level . The sauna and eucalyptus shower was next level luxury. I will definitely be coming back . Marissa made me feel so welcomed and taken care of . Definitely fell even more in love with the Seabird resort today . Thank you!

EverClouds Got a 25-minute massage. He worked on my back only. You get to choose your scented oil and use the facilities they provide while you wait for your appointment. The provider was very professional.

Annie Bladow I did the Soul Ritual Massage with a scalp treatment. I would recommend. It was a very calming and relaxing day. They have dried fruit, nuts, tea, and water available.

Abigail Tilton Absolutely in love with the natural pink and white ombre nails that Yen (I think thats her name) did for me. So fast but with attention to detail. I was pretty indecisive about what I wanted when I came in but she asked the right questions to help me figure out what I wanted. Favorite nails Ive ever had!

Claudia Ramirez WOW, Im very happy with my results!!!! I described my wants and Kim created a masterpiece. It does get busy, book an appt.

Jenelle Robinson Kim did my nails for the second time. My daughter got hers done for the first time with skim as well. She is very good and fast! My daughter loves her design! So excited about the added flower design for my trip to Mexico this weekend! I highly recommend calling a making an appointment, you will be happy you did!

Brooke Nettles Went to get my nails done and Kim gave me exactly what I was looking for, if not better! 10/10 recommend this business! So friendly, knowledgeable, and fair prices. Go see Kim and tell her I sent you !

Chloe Watkins I grew out my nails long so I could get the inspo photo that I brought in and showed her several times. It started with a pedi that was painful and she cut my toe so bad she made me bleed and said it was my fault for having short toe nails. After my pedi, I sat down to have a manicure and had the I inspiration photo on the desk for her to reference the entire time. She cut my nails so short and started filing them. When she showed me the first nail I asked if she could make it more of a point and so she proceeded to file my nails down to nubs. She struggled to finish the white tip and had someone else step in. I could tell the other stylist could tell she botched my nails. Super bummed about this and my fingers and toes are in pain from being cut so short. Oh yeah, my mani and pedi also took 3 hours to finish. I’ve gone twice before and asked for the same thing. Even used the same inspo photo and loved how they came out in the past! Sadly, I probably won’t be returning.

F Daminion “Dee” Tried to give this place a chance. The first time I went I got a manipedi asked for square french nails and ended up with almost duckbill nails. Asked her to keep fixing them and she brushed it off. When I returned to get the color fixed the next woman looked at them and said she would fix them since it was pretty bad(the shape) and that the whole nails were peeling off and kept commenting on how bad it was. Mind you this was a full acrylic set so why is the entire mail coming up like a press on? She did it perfectly so thank God for her. I went back just to get the color changed recently and ended up being serviced by the first woman who did my nails bad the first time. They were busy so I figured how can you mess up a color change? It should be fine. She changed the color after they kept saying I needed a fill which I didnt because the other woman had just done my nails the week prior. In the end I was charged $25 for a color change! I wont be back

Aurora literally love my nails so much and prices are so affordable. my acrylics were done by Van, definitely getting her again she was amazing! Thuy did the manicure which was also amazing and she was so sweet.

Maria Christie I AM LOYAL TO MARY! I refuse to go anywhere else to get my nails done after finding this salon. I live 35 minutes away and gladly will make the drive if I’m not nearby. Prices are wonderful and so is the customer service. First salon I have chosen to stay loyal to because of how well Mary does my nails. At times they last past a month and I’ll get compliments up to my next set.

Natalie Dubon Very nice people. The lady who helped me out was very detailed and amazing with my nails. Did an overlay with gel and I couldn’t be more happy. They also gave me a little gift for the holidays! How thoughtful! definitely would recommend

Miami York 10/10! as a small town missouri girl, i was anxious to find a GOOD place to get my nails done. every time, im in quick & always happy with my nails.

Nae B HOLLY HOLLY HOLLY!! This beautiful, sweet, talented young woman made my daughter’s dreams come true gave her the most beautiful set of acrylics for a very special party this weekend! She looked at the picture my daughter brought as an example of what she wanted, and Holly took a quick look , smiled and was reassuring that she had it under control and it was better than we ever would’ve imagined! All the staff are so kind so courteous so sweet so welcoming! The atmosphere is friendly. The salon is so clean and nicely decorated !! We found a new spot! Thank you everyone at HAPPIEST NAILS!!

D Smith Love my nails. They never disappoint!! The shape is perfect. The color is perfect. I’m very satisfied and will definitely be back.

Lauren Castonguay I’ve been here many many times and the quality is usually good, but today I received one of the worst manicures I’ve ever had. Maybe it was an off day for the nail technician but I don’t feel like it’s good customer service to let your client leave the salon with this as the final product. At $50 plus tip, it’s not worth risking it again, I will probably have to look elsewhere.

Brooklyn Beatty My fav nail spot! They always do such an amazing job on my pedicures and full sets. I was really pleased that I was able to bring in my own gel polish for them to use on my acrylics! Its a jelly shade Ive wanted to use for a while but dont have a UV lamp at home. The staff is very kind and accommodating, plus its a small crew so I see the same faces every visit. Absolutely love this nail salon

patrisha marie andres Ken has been doing my nails and i followed him to his new salon t&t nails. I’m new to nails and he always give me amazing results! I just come in and show him a photo online and with his amazing skills, he wow me all the time! Definitely check this place out because ken is the best nail tech out there!

Hoda F Im so satisfied and happy with my nails. Ken was super sweet and approachable and very detailed with my nails. At the same time he was very friendly and we had some gr8 conversations. Thank you for my beautiful nails. I love them

Lindsey Anne Ken is an absolute artist. After a TERRIBLE experience at another nail salon, which I won’t even get into, Ken was able to fit me in for a set of gel x nails with design. He was so lovely, we had a great conversation, and my nails came out AMAZINGLY. I wanted to do them with a theme of the elements for my Alchemy of the Elements birthday party that weekend. To say he nailed it is an understatement. His work was incredible. Every single nail design was amazing. And he did it for HALF the price that the other, terrible place had quoted me. Cannot recommend Ken highly enough. He is absolutely my new go to for nails!

Angela C Ken does a great job. I have been in twice now and his service is great. I do notice some of my nails are a little crooked and I think that maybe he was a little rushed since he was very busy but I appreciate that he is extremely friendly and keeps his appointments better than other nail salons. He is great at designs so if that is your thing I would recommend him!! As for the pedicure, it was well done but the amount they try to upsell you is is A LOT. My friend and I had nearly identical experience where Tina asked about 5-6 times to add or upgrade the pedicure services so it was a little uncomfortable. When I go I will only see Ken.

Brooke Wilson Today was my first time at Hush. I should start off by saying that I am extremely particular about the salons I will go to. So much so, that I rarely get my nails done anymore. That changed today! My Shellac manicure with Kimberly was definitely one of the best nail experiences I have ever had. She was warm, welcoming, and did an amazing job on my nails. The salon is adorable, and the rest of the staff I encountered were super friendly as well. Kimberly definitely won herself a regular client today!! Looking forward to going back soon !

Linda Horner Best place in town for gel nails, good conversation and a friendly environment. Check out all of their services.

Melia Rezaie I just called in to book my appointment and spoke with Christina. She was amazing, she explained their process patiently and in detail. She never made me feel rushed or ignorant for my lack of knowledge in any way. I was very impressed with her professionalism and genuine care. I have yet to get my service done, but I look forward to it. Plus the prices are affordable and my view from the conversation seems to be quality work. I’ll let you know how my experience goes!!

Paulina Gonzalez I have been a customer for 2 years, and let me tell you, these ladies are wonderful. I am a client of Zenny’s and she does an excellent job every time. The prices are very fair, the work space is always clean, and the environment is very inviting. They are all so sweet and welcoming. The dedication to their work does not go unnoticed.

jessica pliego I got these done one week ago Friday. I go in and they say 5$ to remove gel she charged me 10 at checkout she said it took longer so it’s more. She quoted me $43 for dip then at checkout charged me $53 because the $43 was cash price and didn’t disclose that so I paid 15$ more and left $5 tip I paid over $70 for this to last a week ABSURDDDDDD the lady in the front was rude and seemed like she didn’t want the business I should have walked out! DO NOT SPENT YOUR MONEY HERE!!!!!!! XXXX

MTL Månsson Tammy is amazing at her job and not only was quick but very thorough with each step. The quality of the Superb mani-pedi combo services were great and much needed. It was a relaxing experience and my skin and nails look amazing.

Sofia Gomez Demi did an incredible job on my Gel X manicure. She absolutely nailed the design and she worked so quickly and efficiently! Amy did a perfect gel pedicure for me as well. Best nail salon in North County!

Brenda Battista Today was Saturday and I was lucky enough to have Tiffany do my nails at Joy Nails salon. She only works on Saturdays and Sundays And she’s very passionate about the work she does. Her attention to detail and her willingness to be sure that I liked every aspect of my experience getting my nails done, including the shape the color. She is super sweet and I highly recommend her.!

Krisha Ripote It was my first time at Joy and I absolutely loved the experience. I originally booked for jodi on the website but was seated with Tiffany. Tiffany did an amazing job and she was quick and efficient without hurting my fingers. Will definetly be back ❤️

Taylor Lynn I didn’t have an appointment, i just walked in and got a spa pedicure and a full gel x set. There was no wait, the salon is large so even tho they had quite a few clients, i was seen right away. I had a female tech do my pedicure and a male tech do my nails and both were fantastic. It was quick, efficient, the conversation was effortless and not forced, both were very friendly and personable. My nails turned out perfect. I will definitely be back.

Clutch Modern I feel so pampered! My mani-dip with ombré sparkles and red hot pedi is perf for this season!!! Love it and the organic products and open bar. What more could you ask for?

Bria Andrade I’ve been going here for 3 years and had the most horrifying experience today. I have an acrylic overlay over my natural nail and asked for a pretty simple fill, my acrylic ended up needing to be redone because it lifted which is fine. When John removed the acrylic he used a tip to pry it off, which hurt sooo bad and he even cut me (they normally soak it off). After that he trimmed 3 of my nails down before I could notice, I stopped him and told him I wanted almond and he said it’s fine we’ll just put tips, I can’t get tips, I use my hands/nails at work and tips always snap off. So I had to cut down all of my nails that I’d been growing out for a year. He didn’t even try to match the shape on each nail, they’re bumpy and acrylic was left all over my fingers. When I got to the front I said I really don’t think it’d be fair for me to pay this because it’s not at all what I came in for and I had a horrible experience- I was essentially swarmed around by 3 men (John, the guy at the front desk, and the owner) and told I had to pay at least half. I felt super threatened, especially being a woman surrounded by 3 men. I’ve attached photos - orange tips is what I asked for, the one with black hearts is how long my nails were before getting them done, and the short pink ones are what I left the salon with today and had to pay for. It was an extremely disappointing experience especially as a loyal customer. I highly recommend not coming to this place, but if you still decide to please do yourself a favor and avoid John.

Melissa Cueva Did an amazing job with this cat eye and hearts design. The selection of nail polish is amazing. Got a pedicure to amazing service

Celina Reiman I had a great experience from start to finish! I wanted to try the new cat eye nail trend and Ethan did a picture perfect job on my nails. I HIGHLY recommend this nail salon that offers more than just nails too! Everyone was so nice and helpful! 10/10

Kristin Whiteside We love this nail salon! We have been coming here for a few years and every time is a great experience. This time my daughter tried Gel X nails and AM did a great job! She loves them! We will be back soon.

Lizaisamango EDEN IS AMAZING! He gave me exactly what I had asked for. If you communicate with them properly and make sure they understood what you want, they will DELIVER!!!! I’m so happy with my nails! And they’re the cheapest yet THE BEST nail salon I’ve ever been to. NEVER GOING ANYWHERE ELSE!!

Kate Kesling Mani/pedi with gel polish done beautifully!!! I apologize as I did not get the name of the lady that did my toes but they look great. Did my own all summer and she made them look so pretty! I chose the option with scrub, callous treatment and massage. Well worth the upgrade. I promise. My feet are like a baby bottom. I was then sat with Amy for my manicure. She did the most beautiful natural gel manicure. She is very gentle. I am a farm girl visiting from Washington State and my hands & feet get abused. These ladies made me feel like a girl again. They got me right in on a Friday morning. Salon is clean and welcoming.

Kimmi Austin Been coming here since January 2018. Nice place good prices nails actually LAST and they dont give you BS when you want nail designs. The only downside is that when you make an appointment (and you NEED TO they are very busy) expect to wait up to 15-20 minutes after your appointment time to get in the chair. This is due to how busy they are and how dedicated they are to making nice nails that last.

Kirsten Alana Photography Good price and great service from Michelle for a full set of acrylics! I was in the area for work and needed to find something to do indoors on a bad weather day. I hadn’t had acrylics since before the pandemic but I remember it being far worse than my experience with Michelle. So really impressed. The salon does have a very very strong smell and the decor is amusing. Lots of lights! But I was seen without an appointment immediately on a Wed morning and everyone was cheerful. And the nails look terrific! Best set I’ve ever had. Very good experience for the price and no appt.

heather schultz I came back to joshlyn after being out of the area for eight years and man did she not disappoint! I hated my nails and how curvy they were and she did an amazing job in fixing them, I will continue to go back to her even if I have to make the hour an half drive. It’s totally worth it. Anna did my pedicure and she was amazing as well! They are extremely busy so make sure you make an appointment or else you’ll be disappointed.

L B Lindsey was absolutely incredible and my nails have never looked more beautiful! I drove down from Riverside to visit my sister and she recommended Pearl Nails and Spa. I would definitely drive all the way down there again for my next appointment because they are that good! So happy…shout out to Lindsey! ❤️

Ashley Campbell Highly recommend Mimi at Pearl Nails and Spa in Carlsbad! I have been going to Mimi for about 10 years now and she has always impressed me. I generally go in with photo ideas and ask her for very specific designs. She has NEVER failed me. I leave with a smile on my face every single time. I just went for a full acrylic set last week, for my engagement nails. I showed Mimi photos and she gave me the most incredible white sugar French tip nails! My engagement photos came out amazing thanks to Mimi! I’m a very satisfied customer! :)

Alisha Flanders Went in for gel mani and pedi. Was told dip was better for nails and I expressed that I had it done there back in 2020 which was my 1st and only visit. I told her I didn’t care for it as my nails were very thick. She promised nails wouldn’t be thick and would look natural so I went with it per our discussion. Assuming dip is more expensive. I also said because of my line of work I can’t have them too long but did want some length. When she was done my nails were thick and too long. She argued with me that they weren’t thick and I said they were. Made it uncomfortable as she removed some of the thickness off and spoke in her language clearly pissed, while I shouldn’t assume, talking about me. She then put a coat of gel on top and cured it. Might as well have gotten the gel nails to begin with but what I was really wanting was the tap gel that they do not offer. Long story short, I filed my nails down myself so after paying $60 it’s kinda ridiculous. Color match not even close. Hot pink on hands and more red pink on toes. I won’t be going back. Oh and she announced the tips across the salon when she received in which I was still generous for the service received. Strike number 2 and there will not be a third.

Angela G Don’t waste your time or money on this place. They are not up front with their pricing. I walked in on a Sunday, waited 30 minutes to get a chair . I got a mediocre pedicure that was just not enjoyable at all. The tech hardly did anything on the cuticles. The nail polish looked like I had 99 cent store press on nails on my toes, the entire mail was not painted. They proceeded to do my gel manicure while doing my pedicure, I hate that but thought what the hell I need it done. The gel manicure was fine but as I went to pay, they say, that will be $5 extra because they took off existing gel off half my fingers , 2 had no polish at all. Why are they charging $5 to take off my existing gel and why do they not tell you up front about these charges. You are nail techs, isn’t taking off and putting on polish your job? I won’t be going back. I did tip them for the services I received but it was just bad. Not to mention , they say a lady next to me that would not stop talking about her itchy legs and skin conditions. Omg

Alena Blasio Love the team at Pearl Nails and their incredible service. Mimi has been doing my nails for 6 years and she is the best at her craft! She gets the shape of my nails just right, and is fast to top it all off. I do dip nails and its an art that shes perfected for sure. Kim has been doing my pedicures for 6 years as well and she gives a killer massage! I highly recommend Pearl Nails for any of your Mani+ Pedi needs!

Suphakan Sawettadul First time getting my nails done, super impressed by my nail tech, Diane. Highly recommend this place. Nice and friendly staff, affordable price! Will definitely come back! Also, they’re doing 20% off all services until the end of march, you guys should check them out.

Amy Kha Manicures and pedicures are a special treat for me...I get them MAYBE once or twice a year, if that. With that being said, this was the best experience Ive had in a long time. I have never laughed so hard while getting a pedicure before. The new owner, Cindy, took her time and gave me the best pedicure I have ever had...Im obsessed! I have dry, cracked heels and dry cracked toes (no amount of lotion seems to help), and she diligently took care of it all. She was still working on my feet after my husband finished his mani/pedi! Tina, originally from Luxe Nails down the street, took care of him, and he was super happy with his nails being cleaned lol. He works a trade job, so it wont last long, but he enjoyed being pampered for sure. Tina has worked on me before, and she is amazing as well. I didnt get the name of the last lady who did my manicure, but she was funny as heck. Found my new nail place, and I might treat myself more often with how much fun I had here!

J W This was my first time getting a pedicure here, and let me say it wont be my last. I was greeted by Cindy and my service was by Diane. Nice and friendly . Great job you wont be disappointed.

Karen Maloney Moved to California in January and for six months I couldn’t find a place that could get my nails right. From the minute, I stepped in ocean nails Cindy has been a sweetheart!. She pays attention to details and makes sure I leave happy every time. Great nails, great customer service, great prices. Highly recommend.

Aide Castro It was my first time here, since i just moved from LA. Donna did a great job on my nails and the owner (I forgot her name) gave me a great pedicure. The massage chairs are very comfortable, and make the pedicure a more relaxing experience. I will be coming back.

Krisha Ripote The staff is sweet and attentive. But i feel like they didn’t do a great job with my nails. Zero nail care and prep and the polish is a little shabby. The insides of my nails were not cleant properly after they were done so that’s a little weird. I was surprised that my nails were not prepped before putting in the acrylics. Everything else was pretty fine.

Katya Jones I love coming here. I went last month for my birthday and they did a beautiful tie dye nail. This time I came in for a dip and design and they did more than deliver. I love how easy it is to get an appointment, the people are so kind, and they do a great job.

Monika Watts These are probably the cutest nails i’ve ever gotten i love them so much!! This is my go to nail spot! Daniel did amazing, as he does every time! I showed him the nail design I wanted and he copied it exactly like the picture i’m very happy with them :)
