    “I get my nails done here often and they always get me right. The owner takes the lead and always makes sure you’re happy with the nails also gets good deals for students.”

    “if I could give 0 stars, I would... TERRIBLE customer service. Not the first bad experience I've had at Ocean, but definitely the last. Purposely ignoring what I asked for multiple times, then overcharging me at the end - when I arrived I was specific about the exact service I wanted. not once was told about the price increase/change in service. It would have been rude/embarrassing not to pay but to be honest I shouldn't have. Fair enough if I actually liked my nails but the filing job is poor and lazy, and the polish is patchy. Just overall ridiculous. Customer service is POOR. Do not get your nails done here even in an emergency!!!”

    “When I asked the lady to cut my nails, she cut them very short. Too short that it hurt me & ruined my nail beds. She also did not have a nice attitude towards me. However, she did do the nails quickly & the acrylic nails do look quite nice.”
  • Millie
    “A friend recommended ocean nails to me and it is the best nail salon I have ever been to. Everyone is really lovley and my nails always look amazing and last so long. The owner Maya is so nice and she is welcoming. I would 1000% recommend this place to get your nails done in Nottingham.”

    “"I've been a loyal customer of Ocean Nails for three years, with Maiya consistently delivering excellent results. However, over the past six months, the quality has declined to the point where my nails have been breaking painfully down the centre of my natural nails after only a few days. I feel criticized no matter what I do—if I point out issues, I’m scolded, and if I don’t, I’m still blamed for not saying anything.Today I experienced outright rudeness that was unnecessary: she told me my nails were too long for her to do, and waste to much products even though she’s done them for years at this length and I happily pay extra for.After I asked for a small shape adjustment, she abruptly refused, even hurting me with the file. She also tried to overcharge me £50 for four infills and six replacements, when the correct price should have been around £35–£40. I refused to pay the inflated amount and offered £40. Throughout others time in the shop Maiya changed the pricing as she went along as I know what she charges. She even sighed and rolled her eyes at another customer who walked in, for a simple pedicure and tutted at another lady as she was asking for adjustments.Despite claiming a passion for long nails this is a disgrace. After years of loyalty and tipping, I will not be returning. I strongly urge others to think twice before booking, as my experience has been deeply negative today and over the past six months.”
