Nail Salons 17 Reviews in Oxnard, CA (Part 2)

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.

Cynde Ive been going to this place since it opened. Each time they act like they have never seen me before. Except for Henry he remembers me sometimes. This last visit I got a fill and pedi (also for my daughter) I had a gift certificate that I used along with cash. Well they act like your wasting their time if you use a gift certificate. They rushed us out so fast they didnt even give me 1 min of dry time on my toes. I paid extra for deluxe pedi and ended up with a messed up big toe. I was suppose to wear open toed shoes for my daughters wedding. Not happening now.

Julie Ayala I called ahead to ask for the wait time. It was slow so they gave me the option to walk in. (Know your risk with walk-ins, its a consideration) needed a fill for a set that I did not get done at this establishment and Henry did his thing. Amazing conversation, skills are on point and he had me in and out. Will be coming back again. **ask for Henry**

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 )

Johanna Orozco My in law recommended this place and I am so sad that I won’t be coming back. I had high hopes. I did a walk in with Daniel and asked him for an acrylic almond set. He refused to thin down the acrylic from the sidewalls making my fingers look extra chubby. Every time I asked him to file more he would grab my hand angry and push it off when he was done. I paid for the service and he was trying to keep $10 extra when I mentioned it he got upset. I was visibly upset and I went to talk to my sister in law who was getting her nails done there, her nail tech asked me what was wrong and I processed to tell her what happened I showed her my nails and she said that he would fix it but I refused to be serviced my him again. The nail tech at the front desk spoke to me and fixed my nails but they tried to tell me it looked like that because my finger was chubby… I have gotten this shape and length countless times elsewhere my fingers were never the problem. The entire service felt rushed and it was stressful to be there, had to get home and file down the sides myself. First picture is my thumb before and after it got fixed. The big issue was that he trimmed down the nail shorter than the rest of the set, so shorter almond nails will look more chubby. I let him know and he said he would fix it later.

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!

Leslie Mendez I usually dont frequent nail salons and opt-in to do my own nails and cuticles. I visited this place because I was walking by last night around 630pm. I walked in and asked the front desk girl how much they would charge to just clean up my cuticles. She looked at the prices and said $5. The lady who assisted me did just an okay job with my cuticles, I could have actually done a better job myself. she filed my nails in a semi almond shape, and ended up breaking one of my nails.She provided a quick massage on my hands and then hands me a ticket for $23 to pay at the front . Thats not what I was quoted. I left upset and baffled at the price difference from the $5 I was quoted initially .I will never visit this salon and I recommend that you dont spend so much money this nail salon and learn to take care of your own nails.

Cheyenne Walker This place has really gone downhill over the last 6 months. I have been a pretty consistent regular for over a year and a half getting a manicure and a pedicure every 4 weeks. But they recently lost a lot of of their good technicians, rarely answer the phone or the text message line when trying to schedule an appointment and the friendly customer service is no longer there.

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!!!!

Lucky S Ive been coming here for approx. 4 or 5 months. The shape n lengths are always the same and never leave with crooked or miss shaped acrylics. I love Alex and the work she does, also fill price is 40 bucks. I hate when my nails break after a few days because of the type of work I do, but havent had a broken one since coming here.

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.

Crumity Cambria (Cam) Nice nail techs, new pedicure chairs, close to other stores. My nail tech is Amy, I just love her. Photos are with acrylic nails, some are natural nail with acrylic overlay and gel polish on all. Check them out!

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

Marisol Escobedo I did not like my nails. The were too wide, and the French was messy. They said it was a Gel X but it was acrylic with hard gel on top. I don’t not recommend this place

Zhenya M I love this wonderful salon forever! Chris and Amie are so sweet and professional.

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!

armc armc A very good quality work for reasonable price. Owner and employees are very friendly. Recommend to visit.

Maida Celedón I went for acrylic nails, they said they do that. I doubt the powder was acrylic… but anyways. Then they said it was extra to do gel polish. First of all, I’ve never been to a salon that offers regular polish on acrylic nails! So the polish will chip in a few days and you’ll have the acrylic exposed? Doesn’t make sense. Second of all, polish on powder should never be gel but shellac. Either way, I paid extra and now a week later both my polish and whatever powder that was, are chipped. In all my years getting my nails done, have I experienced any of this, no matter how cheap the place was (and this wasn’t mega cheap either).

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☺️

Spray Taint They did not use sterilized tools, most salons practice safe hygiene but they reuse tools without sterilizing them. I have never gotten cut at a nail salon before until today. The lady working on my nails might have been in a hurry, but she made me bleed and my fingernails are in pain. Also, the nail polish peeled off 2 hours after she was done. Her application technique was sloppy and terrible. I will not be returning. You get what you pay for!!

kylie ritter Tyler was absolutely amazing! His hospitality was top tier, and the facility was perfectly clean and nicely decorated. My mom, friends and I were warmly welcomed. Tyler offered us water and made great conversation. I got dip with tip, and it looks great! 10/10 experience, with cheap prices for great nails! Will definitely be coming back!!

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.

madnotmaddie I moved to Oxnard and needed to find a new place for nails. I almost hesitate to review this place because it is such a hidden jewel and I dont want it to become too crowded! Every time I call for an appointment, they get me in quickly with the person I specifically request. Anna is wonderful! She remembers details like how I first came in with my sister and that I like glitter polishes. She is fast and does an amazing job with my pedicures and acrylics.

Art jones Bought a gift certificate for my wife. They couldnt find the cert. and took a phone call before they would honor it. Nail polish was old and chunky. They didnt do nails and pedi at same time so that took a lot longer and tried to blame it on my wife. I will keep looking for a nail shop for her and my daughter. Unfortunate.

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

sunday bouvet wasn’t able to do my original design so i changed it and it was still poorly executed. simple stats look like messy blobs with no clean and clear lines tried to get a refund as me and my cousin were not satisfied with our service and we were turned away

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!

Vanessa F. Great experience! Got the Nu Skin Pedicure and it was so relaxing! I got a warm rice bag to soothe my neck, leg scrub, hot stone leg massage, paraffin dip for feet, leg massage with moisturizer. Tony spent a good amount of time on the service, not rushed. It was the self care experience this girl needed. Not a fancy shop, but the service and experience was healing and lovely. Recommend!

Lupe Gonzalez WORST PLACE EVER I don’t recommend!! This was my second time/Last time going to them and wasn’t satisfied with the results the next day after getting my toes done I notice blood in between my toe and my toe nail was also ruined and it looks like a zombie nail the gel didn’t even last one day not only that but it was green and just horrible because of how dirty they are and don’t clean there stuff properly they gave me fungus I am really disappointed!! START CLEANING YOUR THINGS RIGHT TO NOT LOOSE COSTUMERS

Rose Frazier I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager. Cindy & Wendy are the best for nails & brows. Also, I really love how detailed my pedicures always are. Family friendly environment.

Tara MarieeeX My usual nail place is booked past Christmas so I decided to try here. Yeah I won’t be back :/ my nails are rough and pointy on the edges still , the nail isn’t even colored all the way on some of them. You can definitely tell it was rushed… even my family said “that was quick” when I told them I was done…. Lesson learned book your appts ahead of time. Also when I washed my hands in the very back there was a roach. No thanks!

Nora Oy I’ve been coming here for years. I love all the girls and the way they do my pedicure, nails and eyebrows. Cindy and Kim and the best!! Now that my girls are old enough they love coming to get pampered! The best place in town!!

Diana Centeno Absolutely in love with my new set highly recommend Wendy she’s the best . I was a little concerned when I came in because I showed her some thing close to what I wanted then I kind of customized it . But it came out even better than I expected.

Farah Xoxo Hands down the best nail service and staff Julie is my girl when it comes to doing my nails. In fact all staff does a very good job they surely know what their doing Been coming here for the last 3 yrs and im very sure i will be coming back again to have my nails done.

Becky Villalobos Kevin & Julie are great. Kevin applies acrylics quickly & Julie does amazing nail designs. Katie is also very good with mani/pedis & is very sweet. I love getting their Deluxe pedicure for the leg & foot massage. And my daughters loves getting new nail designs every time we come. Here is a picture of her latest nails which she totally loves!

Blanca Miranda Brian did an awesome job with my gel manicure. 100% recommend him.

Laura Almaraz Julie is wonderful she treat me as family, give me advise and make complements about my nails. She is the sweetest and best nail tech I’ve met. She was well recommended by friends and family members who have done acrylics, manicures, pedicures, she does it all. I will continue using her Spa and definitely recommended to anyone looking for great work and good prices.

Ana DeMarre I’m from Fresno Ca, needed to get my nails done before my trip to Europe came across Elite. From the moment that I walked in someone greeted me right away both guys who did my nails were amazing! I definitely recommend this place specially if you don’t have enough time they’re fast and they do an amazing job!!!

Sarah Ashby Unkind and unprofessional. I had been coming here for a year. Services are slow as they do not have multiple technicians working to do mani and pedicure at the same time. Which was fine until I was yelled at by a technician for requesting the traditional sanding down and acetone foil wrapped nails removal technique for gels. The technician insisted on soaking my hands in bowls of acetone. This is unhealthy. Anyway the degree of drama this technician created was ridiculous- standing up and yelling I’m not doing your nails if that’s how you want your gels removed. No other technician stepped in or apologized. Really unnecessary to be so rude and angry with a customer. Created a hostile atmosphere for all customers.

YOUNG JUNG Paul is the best nail technician you can find in the area. 3 weeks! no chip. The shop offers trendy manicure colors and is clean. Definitely recommend.

Jacqueline Gomez Thy was great! I came in with a set from a different salon that I wasn’t very happy with. I showed him what about them I didn’t like and showed him what I wanted done this time. He explained a lot of what works best for my nail shape and couldn’t be happier. He was gentle with removing my old set and kept making sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. The attention to detail he does with his work was incredible. I felt the previous place I had gone to did them so fast and didn’t really want to do them to begin with but I really felt in much better care here. Thank you Thy!

Rachell Visit was fine the tech was also a nice person . I ended up paying $100 (including tip ) which I Understand how every artist has their set price however the bow fell off and it hasn’t been a full hour since I had them on. ( left hand has bow how it’s supposed to but right is the one that fell off). These are also were supposed to be my graduation nails and the reception lady was rude she didn’t even want to give me a simple receipt

gloria sarcinelli I went to this place yesterday and honestly I’ve never had such a bad experience in a nail salon. First they cut my cuticle and it didn’t stop bleeding for half an hour. They put some medicine and it made my skin dark. Bur even without the cut my manicure is just horrible. Every time I look at my nails I get angrier. The least they should do was not charging for hurting me. And gor such but manicure.

Rebekah Ann Don’t let the strip mall trick you - it’s really darling inside, clean, bright, and frilly in a fun and cute way! I found this nail salon when I was searching for a place with availability after 6pm. I had gone to the same place for 3 1/2 years but the commute to my new job is longer and I can’t get home by 5:40. They took me as a walk in, no appointment, at 6:30pm (unheard of and amazing!) Nancy gave me the best pedicure I’ve had in 10 years, no exaggeration! NT did my fill with a perfect ombré. Beyond impressed with the place and truly enjoyed my after work experience. I will 100% be returning and recommend them without hesitation. A total gem in Oxnard on the cusp of Port Hueneme.

Clarissa Roque I don’t recommend coming here the worker was filing my nails like if she was in a rush and split my skin open because of it and almost did the same to another fingers and she left my nails all bumpy and I asked for a natural color and instead she did ombré like if you’re in a rush don’t do them she could’ve told me to just go the next day instead of putting me thru hell. I recommend going to Cocos nails & spa
