Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Oxnard, CA (Part 2)

Carolina Southy Worst nail salon ever! The guy that PRETENDED to know how to do nails hurt my finger as he was removing my previous gel. He had not clue how to file, shape DO NAILS. I do my nails every two weeks (different place obviously), so I basically have ZERO CUTICLES to work on. Then WITHOUT BUFFING THE NAIL he proceeded to apply the gel. It looked HORRIBLE.. it was bumpy... so I asked him to stop and leave it like that. Just with the clear base. I went to pay for WHATEVER THEY DID...They said it was THIRTY DOLLARS. 30???????????? for removing my gel and get a FAKE NAIL TECH that has not clue how to even do a BASIC NAIL FILING!

Katie Taco This is how small business is done right! Clean, comfortable, professional, affordable fair pricing. This is the place. I would recommend an appointment, weekdays easier than weekends, this is no "rush job" nail salon. You will be treated like family. And good family doesnt just drop in, you know ;) Visiting from FL, I was breaking my gel nails left and right, so I called same day (Thursday) and got a 3:30pm appointment. I was greeted with a smile and prompt service. Love how John was able to fixy brokens and make my hands Happy again! Hope to come back before I leave. Will definitely be back when Im in Oxnard!

like2read247 Terrible. Called before hand and asked if me and my partner could come now, got there in 10 minutes and we still had to wait about 20 minutes before we got help. We both had different techs and we both got nicked when cutting our nails. Decided not to even get a color done because I was so annoyed.

jennifer patino I never personally enjoy writing reviews about places because I would just rather not go again after a bad experience… however , I want to just warn people . I went in for a regular pedicure and everything was going well. The guy was filing my toe nail and it BURNED but I didn’t speak up because he was going fast so I didnt think to do it … however , after awhile I felt tingly in my toe area … below my toe … like near my bone … it looked like I got bit from something and it was TINGLY. I told him and the girls “ I think I’m having a reaction” … they ultimately blamed me and said they didn’t do anything and how I hit my foot before coming in… basically minimizing me and saying I was wrong and it was my fault and that they didn’t do anything.i was polite and respectful, however the owner made me feel uncomfortable and SHOCKED that she told me it was my fault … mind you I’ve been going there for awhile. Anyways- I just wanna warn people that if something happens where a woopsie, or they accidentally do something to you (maybe a scrape/cut/etc) they will blame you . they don’t take accountability. I still wanted my toes down but they kicked me out…. My toe btw went down . They told me I did it to myself and I hurt my foot before coming in. WRONG. My swelling went away after I stopped the pedicure . I can’t believe I’m having to write this . I just don’t want someone to experience something then be told “ it was your fault , not ours.” Be careful unfortunately.

Jenni Blaine Owner is super friendly ! She has lots of beautiful plants its a relaxing place.

Jazmin Ariza Went in for a walk in today. Loved the experience. Especially because they made my little one feel welcome and indulged her with some design and stickers.

Elizabeth Cruz Excellent service. Does an amazing job. They are very friendly. Very satisfied! Very clean place.

Elsa Montallana I love my nails . My and tu are very good and friendly.I recommend this place to my friends

brittany ventura Was so happy when they first opened . They did a great job and were reasonably priced. But after four times this just got worse each time. This last time my nails lifted , split , lumpy with no shape . The salon is dirty and cluttered now . There are two techs that seems so annoyed that you are there and they have to get off the phone or get up from the massage chair it like a game of not it when you walk inside . My pedicure was so painful and she cut in toes to jagged they hurt for days and I had to file them so I didn’t get an ingrown. I have them tow stars for the selection of colors available and for the young tech who was nervous but nice and could tell she was trying despite not knowing how to do everything .

Wendi Martinez If I could give 0 stars, I would. Place is so filthy. Ladies that work there laughing talking so loud. Got the worst vibe in there. Thought I’d go since I live around the area, but now I don’t mind making the drive to another nail shop. Never coming back.

Christine Ferrer First time going to this nail salon, I was assisted by Julie, she’s really nice and patient. Overall I liked the way my nails turned out. I would come back and ask for her again in the future.

Martha Tully My stylist Wendy, Silver Strand Salon, recommended Danny, after I complemented her beautiful nails. He has been doing my shells for several months now and I am so happy with the results. Im not a nail person, but I wanted a finished , professional look. One of the things I want are thin not thick nails. He is the only one I have found that can do that. Also its a pleasure to have a conversation with such a interesting man. Nice shop and good prices.

Irene *Bad Customer Service * New to the city trying to find a new nail tech.. found good reviews about tom so I called to make appointment the lady on the phone was annoyed I asked for him! When tom got to the phone I asked if he was available that day and if not when was his next availability, he immediately said “ no Im busy all week” with a nasty tone! I understand if he is busy but he could have helped me find another day but with his tone and the response I got I will take my business elsewhere!

Taylor Allen Not sanitary. They do not use single use items. Even after I asked. Cart had no barrier or been cleaned. He used a dirty file, buffer and used metal implements… plus a cheese grater. I have very healthy nails and know I didn’t need to have an electric grinder on the bed of my nails. I’m happy to pay for quality and safe services, it was very uncomfortable because I had already asked before I sat down. Please raise your standards on the care you offer your guests, to prevent infection. You guys do great work! Everyone’s nails looked beautiful.

Fatima Magana I recently got my toes done and it was a great experience! The technician did an excellent job, and the price was very reasonable. However, Ive noticed that the service can vary depending on who you get. Her name began with k-a I dont recall it but she was pregnant. Overall, I loved the result I got ☺️ ( 44$ plus tip )

Nicole B Very unhappy with this place. Read reviews that said Brian was amazing so I decided to go ahead and book with him. I had high expectations based off what I had read. He was very nice and attentive but didnt fill the acrylic to my cuticle and didnt polish my sides fully. I went back the next day to speak with the owner/manager, Lana (?) and was told she wasnt there. Lilly at the front desk was very rude, but said she would leave a note for Lana to call me. I didnt want my nails fixed, I wanted a refund and for the manager to be aware. Lana never called me, and I will not be returning. Sad because I really wanted to like this place. But this job was unacceptable. Pic from 1 hour after services

Danyell Ellis Not my usual salon for a reason. My nail tech here didn’t ask me about the length or shape I wanted on my acrylic fills, just started going to town filing and getting the work done. Meanwhile, my sister-in-law is right next to me getting an entirely different experience. More communication but…Her nail tech couldn’t even do a stiletto shape so we had to wait for my tech to be done to finish her set. Yikes. Ultimately, my two hands were two different lengths, nails were not a uniform shape, bumpy on the surface and not the quality I expected for the price, but hey, at least the polish was okay. I still tipped because I’m not a monster, but I won’t be back.

Christi McKeen Visiting from out of town and they were able to get me in with little notice! Friendly staff and great atmosphere. No frills-aka they don’t offer water so don’t expect it. Prices were reasonable and nobody pushed upgrades on me, I got what I asked for. Not even once did someone ask if I wanted gel polish for my pedicure, and that’s appreciated!

Danielle P Customer Service: 5 Affordability: 5 Cleanliness: 5 I stopped by this nail spa this morning to get a pedi and mani. The customer service was excellent and very professional. The staff was very friendly and professional. The shop was very clean and well maintained to the highest standard of cleanness. Enjoyed my foot and nail day while in California, we will return for sure! Off to enjoy this beautiful sunny day at the beaches. Hubs enjoyed his pedicure and chair massage! Tip: please tip the staff well, they indeed deserve it! Kindness is Love. @glampedlife

Nelson Villarreal Unfortunately Im so sad and unhappy with my gel manicures. I think the manicurist name was Kenny or Kony. They did a bad job where the corners of the nails are left unpainted. They look like when nails have grown a week and you already start showing the new nail. I wasnt going to say anything at first because I thought she was doing a big coat at end. So when she was done I said something and showed her the corners. She said she couldnt paint so close to the skin ? And that the bio gel they couldnt get all over nail? I was so confused so I upgraded to bio gel for worst ? I even showed another customer and she agreed. I never complain but it got me upset how they were so careless with how I feel.

Red Parker The absolute best nail salon ever !!!! David used to do my nails a couple of years ago and all of a sudden he was gone from the salon he was at but. . . I have found him again after all these years!!!! I had others do my nails after he left the previous salon but nobody could get my nails right are done perfect. He can thats for sure!!!! The pictures that I am posting are about 2 and 1/2 weeks old, so this is not a new set. These have been worn for a while and actually they still look great ! Time to go see David!!!!

Des Setnavr This was my to go place for pedicures and sometimes manicure this last time that I went in there, I went in for a pedicure. I was so shocked to see how they perform pedicure service this place is so unsanitary unsafe and could possibly give you an infection. The pedicure tools were not even sanitized, and we’re just laying in what looked to be a little cup, and they had cuticles from the other person before me. I noticed they were busy but that’s unexplainable. this place needs to be cleaned they Need to have sanitized tools please do not go there I will attach pictures

Miki Martinez I tried this shop out at a recommendation from someone. My first time Brian helped me last minute and did an amazing job. He cleaned up a mess that my previous tech made, and left my nails beautiful. My second time I made an appointment and brought my mom. Brian worked on my mom who is 82 years old, and she loved his conversation and work. I saw his wife, sorry I didnt get her name. I showed her a Halloween design and she recreated it with no problem. One other great thing I noticed Brian calls every customer by name every time. Great place. I highly recommend.

Valeria Zavala Literally the worst experience ever do not go here! I am seated and the guy comes to do my soak off and manicure. First, hes not wearing gloves. Second he cuts them down and then talks another nail to go and just rip them off even though I asked for a soak off. So I said you cant do a soak off instead? If he was just gonna rip them off I couldve done that at home but I wanted to not damage the nail so much. He literally goes mute. He had completely stopped talking to me and just starts pointing at what to do even though he was pretty talkative before. On top of that after soaking for about 15 minutes he ended up using his OWN NAIL to lift off the rest and looks at me and says doesnt hurt right? To me it wasnt about the pain but rather the damage it was doing to my nail and he still went ahead and did it anyway!!! I told him I told want a manicure anymore theres no way I was gonna stay in there longer than I needed to me. The vibes are horrible no one really greets you and says hi when you start your service. Do not recommend.

sasha Bowles Came here to get my lip waxed three weeks ago and I sustained an injury when the lady plucked me. She plucked my skin and said it was my fault. It’s been three weeks and it’s still not healed. Came in, trying to be more beautiful than left uglier than ever. I realized that last time I came there I was burned, but that was about five ish years ago and I thought I’ll give the spot another chance… big mistake…

annakudyma Chris gave me a fantastic manicure! The attention to detail was impeccable, and the results were flawless. From start to finish, Chris was professional, friendly, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the process. My nails have never looked better—perfectly shaped with a smooth, even finish. I highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a top-quality manicure!

Victoria Jones We love OV Nails!! Always a great experience when we get mani/pedi gel nails. Great relaxed vibes with marina views sunsets and sea breezes Chris is a master at nail art design and Karen Amie and Mandi are all very good as well highly recommended

Sofia Rubio I live by sea-bridge so this shop is close by, I went for a pedicure amazing job & great prices ✨ the staff are very nice !

Kathy G DONT COME HERE!! They are cheap especially Tony. I asked for a soak off thinking the acrylics would be soaked off (as one should). He ripped the acrylics off using a card. IT HURT. He ripped my natural nails under making it brittle and soft. I dont wish this upon anybody, if they try doing this to you. Yank your nails back. Licensed nail techs should NOT be doing that!!! It may be cheaper but its not worth ruining your nails for that kind of service. This was the worst service Ive ever gotten, and will NOT be coming back.

Crystal After a hard week, I walk in to a friendly environment and he just pampered me, I feel spoiled, thank you for my nails!

Loan Le we went from San Ynez to Santa Ana to visit my mom and stopped by this cute nail salon, its been a while since ive had a cute nail salon like them, so cute. first time experience with gel X, great. thanks Tyler, i love my nails.. 5 stars.

Phoenix Y Eden Tyler is a great nail artist. Got my nails done yesterday and they hold up and feel real familiar and comfortable with my hands. A nice simple gothic nail, gel, and good customer service.

lexi martinez For my first time there it wasn’t bad at all I love the way they came. Yes thats the length I wanted sadly they didn’t have the bow I wanted but we improvised and it came out cute and I didn’t want the perl gems so I did silver☺️

Allison Cameron Very friendly and accommodating staff, with great service! They know their customers very well and take the time to cater to their mani/pedi treatments. My go-to local nail salon!

Trina Gray Tried 3 different Nail techs - all perfection . I usually get ombré or gel nails. And a basic pedicure

Helen Tallant Little disappointed. The nail polish that was applied on my nails was thick and old. They want you to spend more money by doing Gel. They dont have adequate equipment for a regular manicure so your nails could dry faster. Ive been coming here for a while I love the people working there they are very hospitable.

Janessa Lopez The owner Lesley is a tremendously talented nail tech. She can recreate any nail inspo picture I show her, it is truly impressive. I definitely recommend booking with her!

Daisy Sandoval I have been coming here for 2 years and love my nails every time. It is sanitary and clean, they are detailed and take their time make my nails perfect. Quality and service is top tier, highly recommend!

Shari Rosenman I thought I shared my review a few days ago, but it didn’t come through. My daughter and I both had the most painful pedicures of our lives just about 1 week ago. We both had bloody big toes as a result of having our ingrown toenails removed. I asked Yiemy to stop because the pain was so bad I thought I would pass out. She said you can’t stop in the middle. Then, at the end, a new customer arrived and Yiemy left to service her. She didn’t say thank you or I’m sorry or anything. I could see that the big toe was only half painted, probably due to the drying blood. So I asked Yiemy to fix it and she had someone else do it. On the way out, my daughter begged me to never bring her back to that place. When I got home, I noticed that my other toes weren’t fully painted either. I posted the photographic documentation. Yiemy’s solicitous response below makes no sense. She knew exactly what was happening at the time. She and her coworker both heard us crying out with pain and they both had to treat the bloody toes a couple of times with special medicine. I don’t know how they have so many good reviews here. It’s been 6 days and my big toe is still in pain. It’s probably infected. There’s no chance in hell we’ll be back.

LA Core Dirty, depressing nail salon. They do not clean or sterilize their instruments. The poor guy could not even see my cuticles he kept saying I have too much cuticle and like duh that’s why I came. The manicure is terrible. He kept saying he was doing his best. He has tremors so he was shaky and the polish is completely uneven totally dissatisfied and yet he still charged me. Do not go here unless you’re totally desperate and don’t care what your nails look like.

Emily Bouvet This was the worst nail experience Ive ever had. I walked in hopeful because Ive never gotten acrylics, Im from out of town visiting my cousin. For me, I wanted a simple heart design against black nails. I got minimal nail prep, just a little trim on two of my nails. Then, the artist was a little aggressive with the roller, and got my skin a bit but thats alright I know things happen. Next, the artist tried to put a heart sticker on my nail and take it off to make the design, but he cured it on so it wouldnt come off. It then took 2 additional artists to try this heart design and they could not get it, they also kept trying to flip the heart angle! Finally they ask me to change my mind. Annoying, but its okay. I agree to a pink heart sticker over black, the artist tried to put it on plain nail no polish, I had to ask 3 times for black polish under!! My nails came out okay, thicker than I wouldve liked. My cousin on the other hand had a terrible experience all around. Her nails werent even trimmed! Her star design is sloppy and not what she wanted. 131 for both of our nail designs is terribly unfair, we were not happy with our service and we went back to ask for a partial refund and they refused saying to come back. WERE NOT COMING BACK HELLO?? save yourself the headache, dont come here

Josie Lopez My sisters nails always look awesome! I finally asked her for the location where she goes and she told me Nice Nails!!! My daughter and I went and loved it!! I told her I wanted “holiday nails” and she came up with an awesome idea. So. Creative! They also last long! My nails are flat and tend to lift sooner than usual but not this time!!!

Maiah Lopez Do not go to this salon! Left with a cut & throbbing big toe. Paid $59 for a regular gel pedicure. Definitely not worth it. The bleeding wasn’t stopping after she sprayed alcohol on it and put a cotton ball on it so she decided to put some mystery drops on there and then packed it with mystery powder. She did not say a word to me.. she was just on FaceTime with someone the whole time.

Raquel Parker This is my go to nail salon! I always leave there in love with my nails. Everyone there is super nice and Jenny always makes my nails look amazing.

Adri Lopez My daughter and I went to get our nails done. Tony was really good doing my nails. He took time to do my nails. The nail tech for my daughter did a horrible job. Nails were bumpy. Not satisfied with hers.

Nancy Rodríguez I went on Saturday when I enter it look nice and they attend me very fast the only thing that I didnt like was the lady that was doing my nails keep on chatting with the workers instead of looking at what she was doing at the end she finish pretty fast the diamonds were not the same ones and she put them very bad and already about an hour they were falling and also she left me bumps I would never go back

Rosalie Garcia This is my favorite place to get my nails done! They always do a great job. 10 out of 10!
