Oasis Nail And Spa

My first visit like every other post was wonderful. Then the next day, my gel polished chipped. When I called to make them aware, they were willing to accommodate me after much arguing on the phone. I figured that was a one time hiccup, went again. The next day, the gel polish chipped again but on 2 fingers. When I returned for the repair, I was told I should have came soon because they were busy! I said maybe I am doing to much and that is causing my polish to chip. I went yesterday, after having 2 nail technicians fuss over my choice of polish, I had a very lazy day! Took a shower this am, the polish chipped again! I am not going back for anything. This shop was recommended from a friend. I have been getting gel polish for over a year and have been using le chat brand. I am not very happy with this shop at all!

It really depends on who you get when you come here! First time was an amazing relaxing experience. Second time, not so much! The lady that did my nails the second time kept stopping every minute to service other guests and yelling at the top of her lungs. She should just work the front desk! But I would come back here because they do well with pedicures!

This is my first time to Oasis and I have to really brag about them. Even, though it is a longer drive for me. I really don’t mind it at all. The staff here are wonderful and worth your time. Having a wonderful team they strive for excellent. They can really be the best in Maryland to know how to really shape nails! It all looks so perfect and literally the same! Not one was slanted. This place is really amazing and one of a kind. You can’t experience like this no where else. Good place to really set back and relax. Can’t see me going to a different salon no more.

I had an excellent experience here last weekend and I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Came here for the first time with a friend of mine yesterday. We didn’t have appointments and they were able to tend to us immediately. But then again, we walked in at 11:30AM on a Tuesday morning, which isn’t really a busy time if you ask me.
Now skipping to the good stuff! I got a mani pedi with a gel mani, both done by Nancy. I’ve only ever gotten a gel mani once before (at a different salon), and the comparison was heightened to another level. The gel was polished on very smoothly. I was very happy with the outcome. Especially because I didn’t have to give my input every now and then. I liked what I was seeing, and I was able to just relax. There were even a few times in which I was clumsy and got a nick here and there on a nail or two, but Nancy fixed them up right away! At the end of my manicure, Nancy exfoliated, placed hot towels, and moisturized my hands with lotion and my cuticles with cuticle oil. It was a very pleasant experience! Additionally, my pedicure was an even better experience. I received the honey pedi (I think that’s what it was called?) Well, there was definitely honey in it! It was the most relaxing experience ever! The water was the perfect temperature. The exfoliation & hot towels — most incredible feeling ever! And the separate room they have for the pedicures is brilliant! The ambience and music put you in the zone. It was so good, I was ready to catch some Z’s! You completely forget you’re in a strip mall! Best pedicure by far!
The only issue I had, which is honestly minor, was that they kept forgetting which colors I had asked for for my mani pedi. I mean, it wasn’t anything complicated, one color for my fingers and one color for my toes. At first, it wasn’t Nancy who had asked, so I understood why there may been some confusion. But the second time, Nancy thought I had asked for the same color for both my hands and feet. Regardless, the situation was fixed in a jiffy! And both my mani & pedi look fabulous!
Other than that, this experience was phenomenal! I would definitely go back! And I would recommend this place to everyone and anyone! I just wish I lived closer to this place…

My first visit with Vicki was awesome until I came back a few days later for one nail to be repaired. They are rude as hell and I have no intention of coming back. There are way better nail care salons around. They belong in a strip mall. Good riddance.

This place is far from home but the staff is great and the services are awesome! I’ve had a pedi and love the environment! My gel mani was amazing and the Leslie is great for eyelash perm! She tried once and wasn’t satisfied so did it again and made sure I left happy. Love the customer service but avoid going when it is busy — I’ve had to wait very long because they don’t like turning people away so they put me in a chair and I was there over 25 min… Ended up leaving but when I went back on a less busy day — the service was great.

Went in for a quick manicure and had a great experience! First I was out right at a station and offered refreshments then my manicure started. I got a gel manicure so I didn’t expect anything other then a dry manicure but had a nice exfoliating scrub and hot towel after a fabulous gel manicure was painted and UV cured! Would recommend this salon to anyone!

I’ve been coming here since they opened, took a small break to try out another location in the mall — but their up sell is horrendous and they don’t listen to what you want.
I went to Leslie when she worked at Nail Perfection, oh back in 2007 or 2008… she’s amazing, and I refer everyone I can to her, for eyebrows, to manicures to pedicures.

Visiting Maryland and happened to drop into this place. What a nice surprise. They offer so many services, from massage to waxing as well as your basic mani/​pedi. They offered me water upon arrival, were accommodating to my infant son, and were very hospitable. I’m glad I added in the callus remover because they made my feet soft as a babies.

This place is very hit-​or-​miss for me. The salon is very nice for a mall environment, and all service providers have been relatively friendly. I like how they have snacks and water available for you when you receive your services.
My mother has been a loyal customer of Leslie, the owner’s, for years and adores this place. I come here fairly often for a gel manicure and pedicure. The problem is that sometimes the nails last three weeks and sometimes I get lifting in the polish after a week or less (a huge problem for someone with long hair who doesn’t like to get their nails caught in it). The manicure itself is a good deal at $ 32 — it includes exfoliation which a lot of places don’t do with out an additional charge, but it’s really irritating to have problems so quickly after getting my nails done.
As an additional note, last year I got a gel manicure three days before a wedding I was in. They cut too far into my nail and I started bleeding. I had to point it out to the technician, and again to the person who was checking me out. They put some sort of oil on it. It ended up swelling up and causing problems for the next month. These things happen, but I would have appreciated a bit more concern — at least an apology!

Very good service. Jello pedicure is amazing! I ask for Vicky, who always does a nice job, and my friend highly suggests Maria. Easy in and out with convenient mall hours.

Went for a gel mani fr my sister’s wedding. She diluted the polish right in front of me, which messes up the quality and makes it chip sooner and shows that theyre too cheap to buy more polish when they run out. Then she cut my finger while doing the cuticles and didnt even put anything on it, just said «oops». She kept scratching my fingers while scraping off the old polish, and scratched up my pinkie pretty bad as well. The polish was still transluscent in places when she decided she was done, and one nail was completely smudged and she didnt fix it. She got polish all over my fingers and really did a horrible job and was very rough and unapologetic and charged me full price even after cutting me pretty bad. Never going there again.

First off let me say that I am totally shocked by the rating. I am the most picky person when it comes to my nails. I live in Upper Marlboro and I drive to Annapolis, MD every two weeks to make it to my appointment at Oasis Nail Spa. Leslie is the manager and also my nail technician and she runs a smooth, calm, respectful and customer service friendly operation. I LOVE THIS PLACE.

I went to this nail salon on Black Friday to take a break from the crowd. I typically don’t ever step into nail salons that I haven’t been to before, but I made an exception here. I shouldn’t have, and I will never make that mistake again.
I got a Gel manicure from a very nice nail technician. I paid my money and I left. That night After i returned home, I realized that the top layer of my manicure began to peel. My nails continued to peel over the next day. Because I live in Columbia, it was an inconvenience for me to go out to Annapolis to address this issue. However, I went back to Annapolis today (2days later) to ask for a refund so that I could go and have my nails fixed at my normal salon. The manager on duty was very rude and not very conciliatory to the issues that I had with regard to their service. In fact, she told me that I could tell everyone in the salon about my issues with their service, and she wouldn’t care. So, I’m writing this review to give the manager what she asked for. I will say that my $ 35 was refunded, however, I did not appreciate the way in which this situation was handled. The manager was very unprofessional and her attitude was completely uncalled for.
Do not go to this nail salon. There’s another salon just feet from this one in the mall called Acacia that appears to have better reviews than this place. While I can’t vouch for Acacia, I can tell you that under no circumstance should you ever set foot in oasis nail. This place is not worth your time or money. They do not know how to give a proper manicure, and their customer service is completely nonexistent. Trust me on this one — go somewhere else.

I read everyone else’s reviews and am very surprised at some of the bad experiences. I’ve been to this salon at least ten times, and have never had a bad experience. This last time around, I went in for a brow wax and pedi after not being there for about four months. The gentleman at the front desk remembered that I had been pregnant last time and asked how the baby was doing. I thought this was very kind of him, and demonstrates that he tries to remember his clients. I have no problem with the color selection. As for the reading material, it is stacked on top of the drying table, so just grab something as you walk back to the Pedicure room. They also offer bowls of bagged chips and small fun size candies, which are a really nice touch.
In my opinion, Tammy does the best wax and pedi and I do agree that Michelle gives a great facial.
Tammy is off on Tuesdays, but if you have an opportunity to snag her on the other days, it’s worth it!

Great experience!
I went with a friend who had an appointment but I didn’t have to wait, they took me back right away. The pedicure area was nice and relaxing although the water was a tad too hot but they took care of it with no problem. There was no random conversation between techs, if any it was very brief. My tech was very attention oriented and took his time doing my pedi. Overall I was very happy with my experience and plan to return very soon :)

Got a manicure, had the best manicure I have ever gotten here. It was great! It lasted 3 weeks instead of the typical 2. I loved this place.

Came here to spoil my neices and instead my gift was spoiled by a horrible example of both an employee and a man. It’s really sad. I’d been looking for a great nail shop that wasn’t far from my house for awhile and after reading all the great Unilocal reviews, I was excited try this place.
The reviews were right regarding the great leg massage with pedicures and the nice area in the back that makes you feel like you aren’t in the mall at all.
We had appointments since I called ahead, however, although we got to sit together, our technicians started the three of us at different times. Engrossed in my new iPhone and my nieces engrossed in their books, I settled in and relaxed.
To make a long story short, I didn’t notice there was a real problem until the end, when we were drying our nails after our manicure. I was the last to finish, but when I went over to the drying area, I noticed that only one of my nieces was there. I looked for the other one and found her still at her table where she had gotten her nails done. I asked her why she wasn’t drying at the stations and she said that her male technician never instructed her. I told her to come over, which she did, but told her to leave her stuff there because they are supposed to bring it over so you don’t mess up your newly-​polished nails. She sat and another technician who was near by turned to me and told me that she forgot her bags. I looked at her and said «that’s because no one brought them to her. They forgot to tell her to dry over here as well.» She said nothing.
Once they were both seated with me, I asked them if they enjoyed their time and commented that I really liked the place. They said that they did until they overheard their male technician say something about them not shaving their legs under his breath breath and then laugh and lock eyes with the other technician who was working on the other. I couldn’t believe it. My nieces are 12 and 14. PRE-​TEENS. How dare you? For one — you are an adult and for two — these are children who should not even have to begin to think about body image in that sort of way. I was disgusted. I told my nieces to continue to dry and that I would be right back.
I spoke to one technician, who didn’t speak English well so another came up, then the manager finally did. I explained to her what happened. She asked me who was working on my niece and I informed her, pointing to the man who was now working on someone else. She went over to talk to him and then I sat back down to dry myself.
I assumed that she would do something to rectify the situation, while she assumed I would simply just say my piece and walk out. No ma’me. UNACCEPTABLE. I stood at the counter afterwards, still asking my nieces to sit at the drying area as I did not want to cause a scene in front of them or the people who were patrons there. Another technician asked if I needed to pay since I was standing there and I told her «No. I already paid. Now you need to pay me.» The manager heard that and then left the woman she was handling to take care of it.
Or — so I thought. She informed me that she she spoke with the male technician in question and that he denied it and said that he didn’t say that. When I asked her why two children would lie and make it up, she said she didn’t know and actually wanted me to re-​victimize my nieces and have them come up and face him and repeat what he said. Are you kidding me? No — we would handle this adult to adult as it should be. I told her to bring him to me.
When she did, I asked him point blank what he said to them or about them. He said that the only thing that he asked them was what color polish they wanted. You know how you know what someone is lying? When they cannot make eye contact… when they look at the ground and mumble. That’s what he was doing and I know the manager could see it. Keep in mind, prior to me facing him, the manager in no way attempted to rectify the situation. She didn’t offer a refund or a gift certificate to come back. NOTHING. In fact, the only thing that she did offer was that if my nieces were «sensitive» she could make sure that they were with a «female technician next time.» Had nothing to do with «sensitivity» or gender! It had to do with professionalism and proper etiquette.
Since I knew it was fruitless to try and convince him to tell the truth I told him: «Obviously, you are not going to tell the truth here and I understand since your manager is standing right next to you. But when you go home tonight and no one is around, you will know what you did and you will know what you said and I just want you to know that I know too and that you truly ought to be ashamed of yourself as a professional and a man picking on children.» He didn’t say anything and just walked away.
At that point, the manager offered to refund one of the pedi/​manis (what she should have done to begin). I got the $ 40 back, but they definitely lost a customer. I will NEVER be back.

My favorite spa in the mall! It might be the gaudy Asian décor, but I absolutely love the atmosphere in there. It is very clean and calming, very different than any of the strip mall nail salons.
The ladies in there are very nice, and I have never had to make an appointment. They have enough space in there for walk ins even if you have a group and they will do their best to accommodate you.
I’ve gotten their facials and hot stone massage and they are both excellent. They do a great job on nails. All of my pedicures have lasted for weeks.
English is not their best language, so please be patient when speaking to them. They try so hard to understand and give you best service they can.
