List Best 21 Nail Salons in Oceanside, CA (Part 3)

Hazim Hashim The lady she was so nice and sweet she gave me water during a hot day, however I wish she could do a deeper cuts and less expensive for face mask, pedicure and manicure she charged me $80, I didn’t really care I’m for Midwest and not looking to come back here again, however, what I believe she’s getting older and works really fast that my intake…. Over all nice experience.

Nikki Camarena Closest nail salon to my house so I thought I would give it a try. They did not have much to choose from for gel acrylic colors. I like shiny and glitter I had to pick a plain color. My nail shape was coffin but they were a bit uneven from the other hand. She didnt even paint the color and clear coat all the way to my cuticles.(so it already started to look like I need a fill.) Ill drive a bit farther next time

Ruvid Sandoval Lisa and Jack worked magic!!! Brought my mom to get her nails done for the first time in 10 years and her nails and toes came out amazing!! I was turned away from another nail salon because i was told my nail design was too difficult and Lisa did it without hesitation!! Both Jack and Lisa were super friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend this spot.

Lexus Vasquez New owners, but still great nails!! ALWAYS ask for Hana to do your nails. She’s the best!! She takes her time, always shapes my nails perfectly, and does the designs I ask for perfectly. I will only ask for Hana to do my nails from now on! The woman that did my pedicure was awesome and very gentle, she took her time as well and did not rush. Great service, I’m only giving 4 stars because the price was very expensive even though they gave me 10% off for their grand opening.

Carley May I’ve been here a couple of times now. The first time was ok despite the wait. The second time it took over three hours for a basic pedi and fill. The paint looks acceptable but the shapes and lengths do not match. They are now all lifting and falling off in chunks where they were last filled. My hair gets stuck in them, super disappointed and I won’t be coming back. My toes did come out ok but the tech acted like she understood me but did not. I tip well and am very understanding but this was a waste of time and money for me.

Maygen Sutton I went in for an appointment at 2pm and they didn’t do anything for me except put the nails on. There are bubbles under my nails and they are already coming off. They did not push back my cuticle or do anything else so it already looks like a weeks worth of growth even though it’s been 2 days! When I asked why they didn’t do anything to my cuticles they said they didn’t have time and still charged full price.

Anne Beck I’ve never found a nail specialist or nail salon that I really love and I found it here at Happiness Nails. I love that the space is clean. I love that the people are kind. I love that I can walk in & they are accommodating and accurate on the times someone can see me. I will for sure make appointments in the future because I found Amy and she is an exceptional nail specialist. I picked a color that was a little too pink and I mentioned I wanted more of a natural nude and Amy knew exactly what I was looking for. She is an expert and perfectionist in her craft and I’ve never had a nail technician like her before. She’s professional, respectful, meticulous, hardworking, knowledgeable and so kind. I almost don’t want anyone to know because I want to keep it all to myself, but sharing is caring and I believe great businesses and people should be highlighted. I highly recommend this nail spot and I definitely plan to come here again. Thank you for my lovely nails, I’m so happy with them!! Happiness Nails truly delivered happiness. Thank you!

Vy My favorite nail salon and I’ve tried a number of other salons. Excellent service all around. They’re great with gel, acrylic, designs etc you name it. Whatever designs I have in mind, they always nail it. And my set would last forever without lifting. Everyone is super nice and friendly. The owner, Kim, is so awesome and accommodating. Highly recommend!!! This set is 3 weeks old it looks like new Update 10/21/24: another elegant French tip set by Thy. Love it !!!

Iris Martinez Went in because reviews were good. I asked for Gel X, which they were able to do. However, the lady that was doing my nails did not size right. Had to redo one of my fingers about 3 times. Each time she was trying to file down my nail until my nail was sore. She did not clean up under my nails and I had glue all over. I managed to clean them when I got home. There is an insane amount of glue in every nail. Pictures below. (Do not mind the red, I had red polish before)

Teresa N ***Under new management***Treated myself to a manicure and had such a great experience at Excellent Nails. I asked for a natural look with a dainty heart design, and Megan delivered exactly what I imagined. She took her time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure my nails looked flawless. The salon itself was clean, welcoming, and had a relaxing vibe. If youre looking for a nail tech who truly listens and brings your vision to life, Megan is the one to see! Ill definitely be coming back.

Amber Neuman They were very kind and professional. My daughter got a custom design and I went with French full set and pedicure the number 3. It was a great experience and we will definitely be going back. Exceeded our expectations as a walk in

Jess Visiting my family in Carlsbad who told me this is her favorite nail salon. We walked in on a busy Sunday and they saw us both within 10-20 minutes. I asked for short almond acrylics and they came out very nice. This is my first time getting acrylic, I’ve only gotten tips with dip before. The manicurist didn’t try to upsell me on any services which I appreciate because I don’t want paraffin or massage or anything.

D Mc Ive been going here couple years and the Manager John does great job. He has done the Chrome process several times and I always get lots of compliments. I just got these exotic multicolor blends (I know, a little crazy) but it is a beautiful job. I Highly recommend -- Evie

Michelle Hogle Always get great compliments on my nails. Been seeing Leslie for over 20 years. Never had ANY issues with her work! My husband even joins me for his pedicures. Come see the new shop!

Terri Eliazar-Stevens I’m sorry to have write a one star review. But since moving to So Cal. The struggle is real to find a good not great nail tech. These nail shops don’t take much pride in their work anymore just the money and what kind of pedicure you want. I have been here for just mani and pedis with no color and this past weekend I was headed to Vegas for a birthday weekend and this happened too nails chipped before we even got there. By the end of my concert I lost a gel polish completely on my index finger. Where I don’t know and this morning Just picking up food at a restaurant my ring finger gel Polish just came off. Our price for my husband and Me was 172.00 plus 30 dollars tip and I didn’t get I day with the damn polish. I am beyond irritated for the dismissive attitude of the nail tech. Cause yes I did call the day after to let her know what happened. She had the audacity to tell me that after 33 years of doing nails this never happened to her. Hmm I going to beg to differ since I am a former cosmetologist. For these prices that nail salon charges I’ll be searching yet for another nail salon.

Amy Feeley I NEVER write bad reviews…but I feel like I had to this time! I have been to this salon in the past many times…my experience is always hit or miss. But because of convenience with it being so close to my house I sometimes end up there…today was the last time! I was treated so rudely I am still in shock! I had dip on my nails previously from there and I didn’t like it and wanted to go back to gel…she kept insisting I do the dip polish instead! I think they push this for many reasons…they charge more, easier application, and you definitely have to come back to get it removed. So after we agreed I wanted gel instead she started removing it. I was yelled at several times for my fingers popping up when one is pushed down which is what my hands do naturally and then she was very rough with my fingers bending them in ways they are not supposed to be bent. I was not gonna sit there and be verbally and physically abused for an hour! So I told her I changed my mind and just wanted the removal done. She kept asking several times why and I just said I changed my mind. After it was removed I paid and left. All the nail techs in there know me for always being very nice, making conversation, and tipping well. I’m the type of person who is too nice to a fault. I for sure will NEVER return to this establishment again! And I will make the drive to La Costa where I’m treated kindly and they do an AMAZING job.

Onna-Marie Johnson Tammy was my nail tech and provided the most amazing pedicure I’ve had in my life and at 1:30am of all times! She took some amazing photos for me and took wonderful care of my feet. The massage was top tier I highly highly recommend visiting at least once!

Anna Lea First time and I was not disappointed! The technicians were amazing and did such a beautiful job! Everyone is very friendly and the shop is very clean and relaxing. I will be going back for all of my mani/pedi needs! Thank you Helen!

Anna Belanger Best nail artist Ive been to in a long time.

Ken Wall I went in Tuesday for a walk in. Service was okay. Customer service could improve. 48 hours after getting serviced I noticed I have contact dermatitis. This could have been avoided by acrylic and monomer being left on my skin. She also didn’t use sterilized tools nor new un used hand files. Was wanting to give hope on this place but I will not be back and will have to go to a dermatologist now for this.
