Oasis Nails

It was easy to get a walk in appointment. The tools are clean and come out of a sealed package rather than just out of the machine. I paid $ 13 for a manicure. They don’t thin their nail polish out so it doesn’t chip. I will definitely go back!

Ugh — I wish I had read other reviews before going. Worst manicure I have ever received. The technician was rude and sloppy. I had been trying to grow my nails and she immediately filed them so low, any effort I had spent growing them was gone. They’re now uneven and square when I had asked for round. There was no water to soak your cuticles — she cut them dry which resulted in jagged edges. And her paint job was so rushed that she missed the sides of my nails entirely. And when I asked her to fix them she rushed me off to the drying station, complaining that it was my fault, not hers. I heard the girl next to me complaining about the same thing. I usually leave my manicures feeling polished and happy and pampered and this place totally depressed me and made me regret wasting my money. SKIP this place.

Horrible attitude, they have zero personal attention because they want to pick up the next customer. My manicure lasted for 10 min and my nails were barely touched, Literally — there was NO work done on one of my thumbs. I feel I can do better myself. Will never go again

I agree with Q below. They are constantly trying to hustle you. I spent 55 bucks plus an additional 11 for tip. In addition, the nail technician did not clean my nails properly at all — at all– they don’t soak your nails. It’s NYC. this is part of basic cleaning service before the manicure. And the manicure stinks. This place is a rip off. Terrible manicure/​pedicure. People are nice enough, what you pay for is absolutely not what you get. Annoyed. Waste of my money. Never again.

My issue is not with the pricing is ridiculous, but fits the area, rather how they tried to increase the price after the service was completed.
My service took longer than needed, there was no hand massage during the manicure — just a slab on lotion quickly wiped by a too hot towel.

Gina at oasis is a fabulous detail oriented perfectionist and nail wiz — also friendly and sweet and took incredible care to give me the perfect pedicure and gel manicure– it helps that the salon has one of the best varieties of gel colors ever and they give a nice massage as well — pricey but hey it’s manhattan! Treat yourself

Friendly, hardworking nail technicians who do a great job. The place is very clean and welcoming. All the tools are freshly sterilized, and the nail polishes all look new.
Sadly, I witnessed several customers being very rude for no reason to their nail techs. People, do you think spending $ 13 on a manicure and leaving a bad tip makes someone your slave? The nail techs all handled it with grace and professionalism.

If I could give this place a 0 I would. It took over 2 hours for a technician to do a pedicure, I understand taking your time but that’s actually insane. I sat there and watched as 4 other patrons were in and out. It was taking so long someone else had to come over and finish it which they did in under 5 minutes. When I went for the manicure the technician knocked into my hands minimum of 4 times laughing as if it were funny. When I asked for some sort of compensation the manager was beyond rude and finally refunded my card. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Would give a negative star if I could. Arrived at this place hoping to get a mani and pedi, however no one greeted me or said anything as I waited fir 5 minutes. As I’m turning around to leave another woman walks in (Caucasian) and she was promptly greeted and said hello.
I immediately called them out on it and was told «oh ok».
I’m in the area on occasion for work, but I would never come back and would advise my other young professional friends in the area to not come here either.

Most of the girls do good job painting nails, so you’ll get a nice a polish 70% of the time. Can’t say you’ll always get the most thorough/​careful manicure. They rush through them to maximize turnover and socialize the entire time. Used to be my go to out of convenience as I live across the street, but after my experience with Sophia, there’s way too many other options nearby for me to go back. Separate from nearly burning me with hot water during the pedicure and having a snide attitude throughout, she used a really filthy nail filer for my manicure. It was a brown filer, but was nearly white from overuse. I asked extremely politely for a new one. She said «we don’t use new ones here» with an attitude. After 30 seconds of silence, she asks «is this your first time here?», implying I need to get with some sort of program. Felt so awkward and uncomfortable for the remainder of my manicure. Certainly not how I want to feel during my pre-​vacation mani/​pedi.

One of the worst mani-​pedis I have ever had.

I was desperately in need of a mani, pedi, and massage, and Janice and her team took amazing care of me. This place is right around the Cormier from my hotel (and was recommended by the front desk), so it’s ultra convenient, but I would walk several blocks for the treatment I received. I’m planning to come back for another foot/​leg massage with Janice, probably tomorrow. Paid cash (atm inside with $ 1.50 service fee) so I now have a free 10min massage on my next visit ;)

love this nail place if your in the area Check them out! All the employees are extremely attentive and sweet and they do great manicures

Great place if you’re into a rude nail tech who did a shoddy job, acted surprised when several of your unsoaked cuticles bled, caused a major cut on one finger, and left the edges of your nails unpainted despite your polite request to fill it in. This one us for you, Hong.

Terrible experience with what was supposed to be French gel UV tips. And ended up looking like a very very bad first time ever gel tips attempt. The sad part is that it «only» cost me over $ 100 and the job was done by the owner or manager of the place.
It was supposed to be my treat after a three year break from having my nails done since my two daughters were born; after 2 hours there I was in no mood of having an argument but I felt screwed big time.
The next day I went to another place to have everything removed as I couldn’t bare looking at them and was in disbelief to find out that the lady must have forgotten to put the uv gel on my tips because they peeled off like nothing was ever on (after just 2 min soaking).
For those of you who do gel uv tips you all know how long it takes to get them off by filing the gel down. especially taking them off after just one day.
At the end I got my beautiful nails done (the second time) at Spa belle but it cost me another $ 140 which I was glad to spend. (If only I had gone there in the first place)

Had a fantastic and personal pedicure from Donna. The temperature had dropped 30 degrees in one day and she welcomed me in, warmed the water and was very professional yet attentive for the whole pedicure. I didn’t even think twice about overtipping.
I was about to walk out and realized it had been a while since I had gotten a facial. Although the the building looked primarily like a nail salon, they had Dermalogica products on display for facials. Sylvia recommended a facial that would work the best for me and it rivaled some of the more spendy facials i’ve gotten before. I’d definitely go back for either based both on the product and customer service.

Great manicure $ 12. Quick. No wait, visited in a Wednesday at noon. Nice selection of colors. Technician was nice. When they put you under dryer they give you free back massage for about 2 minutes. Please see pic

My mom and I checked out this salon one day when we decided to get manicures on the spur of the moment. What I liked best about this salon is that you see all the tools have been sterilized and they open the sterilized pack of cuticle clippers, etc. in front of you.
Good manicure, reasonable price, $ 12.
Only complaint, when we were there my mom also got a pedicure. The lady working with her kept asking my mom if she wanted other things added on, my mom kept saying no, but the lady added them on anyway, and the pedicure ended up totaling $ 60. We’d both go back for a manicure, but probably wouldn’t get a pedicure.

i went back to oasis yesterday after a year long break (moving offices ten blocks away made lunchtime manis there impossible).
Look, it’s not cheap, and i’m 99% the ladies talk shit about you the whole time– but the work they do is great! My mani pedis really last.
The best part though– the guy who gives the massages… HOLY COW. He just knows what you need… if only most men were like that…

If I lived in New York, you can bet your ass that Jenny would be my ONE AND ONLY bikini waxer.
She just gave me the most thorough and least painful brazilian wax of my life — and on top of that, she took me in right away (walk-​in) and is INCREDIBLY sweet and professional!
She is hands-​down the best waxer I’ve ever had, and she’s certainly worth the price ($ 55+tip for brazilian).
