If you want to know why they have so many 5 star ratings on yelp, they bribe you at the register for it, the even have a sign mentioning it. Gf changed her polish type during a manicure and they charged her 80$ for a single color gel mani on a neutral unpolished nail, and this was after I mentioned she was charging 130$ for a 40$ manicure, and I asked her to price it out. After I said that seemed out of line for their prices, and she then added another 2$, I guess for questi...oning her? What is wrong with them? And then afterwards when we were paying she used really abusive sale tactics against my gf and demanded a 20$ tip on top of it telling her directly in a raised voice put 20$ here on the receipt, slamming her finger into it, and nearly bringing her to tears. She even demanded she take my agency to make my choice on the tip and said she had to pay my tip as well. When I asked her why she demanded a tip above the 15% she had been demanding from my poor friend and blocking us until we added it to the receipt, she blamed my actions for upcharging her. Really really from the bottom of my heart the worst experience I've had at a salon in my entire life. See More Read Less

I was extremely disappointed with Oceanview Nails. I came in with my daughter and another friend and we were all unhappy. They each got a mani/pedi and I just got a pedicure. The entire experience lasted maybe 25 minutes. My daughters polish is already off on almost all her fingers and several of her fingernails also broke. Β On her toes, the polish was not smooth at all. My toes are fine but it all went so quickly that I might as well have done it myself. Also, the upselling never stopped. With everything manicurist or pedicurist did, they tried to upsell us. That gets really old. When I went to pay for all three of us and add a tip, I was told I could only tip in cash. Who does this? You are only hurting your employees. I understand you have to pay more when someone uses a credit card but the truth is that most of use credit cards. I didn't have any cash so had to go outside and find an ATM. I won't be coming back here or recommending it. Read Less

Ocean View Nails has been my favorite nail salon since moving from LA Cty. to Orange Cty. several years ago. I go to have my nails done at least once a month or more. I love the way the girls do nails and this salon is what I consider "up-scale" with an emphasis on cleanliness and friendliness. I don't just go for the gel manicure or pedicure, but also the massages that I have loved for so long. However.....I went today and was informed that they have been told by the owner to discontinue the massage after receiving a gel manicure. The reason I was given is because the girls have stress & some have pain after giving the massage -but...they always give a massage during the "regular' and less expensive manicure?? After paying almost $70 including tip, I was frustrated as the massage after the gel manicure is usually the main reason I tip the girls, and I regreted this service will no longer be given at S.C. Nails. I will be looking for another nail salon for my monthly relaxation, or, I will start giving myself a gel manicure at home as my friends do. Read Less

I have been a customer of Ocean View Nails for four years. Beginning June 1, the salon has restructured their "menu" and not for the better. The price of a pedicure has increased, but massage time has decreased. There is no longer massage with a gelmanicure. I was told by the owner that he is aligning with "industry standards". I explained that people came to his salon because they were above industry standards. The salon won a gold medal in the Sun Post news, and now he's just getting greedy. I told him his pride would be his downfall. The salon has discontinued its customer loyalty card. When I asked him about what happened to the card, he honestly chuckled and said it was only meant to be a promotional item when the business first opened. Well..I've been going there four years and there are lots of people who are upset to see the customer loyalty card end. There are plenty of places closer to my house, and up until now, I was happy to make the drive to Ocean View Nails. But after my conversation this morning with the owner, I realize it may be time to find a new place. And I'm honestly sad about that. I wished him good luck with his new pricing structure and lack of customer service. Read Less

Got a gel mani/pedi, and I am not impressed. I paid $87, the massage chair was never turned on (nor offered to be turned on) the lady who did my manicure didn't ask me if I wanted my nails cut (or filed), she decided to cut them on her own. All in all it was 40 minutes between the time I walked in and the time I walked out. Usually I am helped to put my shoes back on, (a nice touch) I had to fish my shoes out from under the pedicure chair myself. Lastly, no excuse for a bad attitude from both women who helped me. Disappointing, i will not return. Read Less
