Mary Kress
Great experience! Everyone is very friendly and Victoria helped me pick my color when I couldn't decide. My nails also last a very long time and don't chip or break which usually happens to me by week 2 of dip...but not when I go to ocean nails!
Madelyn Martinez
I’ve been going to Victoria at Ocean Nails for dip manicures every 3 weeks for over a year. She is an artist and perfectionist in the best way. They never chip - I only have to come in when they’ve grown out too much. She also cares about my nail health. Today’s mani was for a special occasion and she willingly changed the color and details until I felt it was perfect. You won’t find better in Ann Arbor!
Joyce Lai
This was the best dip nail manicure I have ever gotten! They were really kind, quick, careful about the nail shape especially around the edges, and the price is great. I brought my friends too, and they loved their pedicures. I will be coming back again :) Bring cash, or use the ATM there!

I came in 30 minutes before close for gel removal of my previous manicure. The nail tech offered to do a fresh manicure after removal. The removal was done in a speedy manner ( some sort of nail polish removing paint ) You can still still see my previous coat end. The gel nail polish feels way too thin. Similar to just getting regular nail polish done. Doesn’t have a enough layers.
Darian Massengill
Victoria did an incredible job on my dip manicure. I have had such a hard time finding someone to do the dip process correctly and it look good and last. Victoria was polite, easy to talk to and she was quick! I also had a gel pedicure by Leon and he did an amazing job! He got my ingrown nails and did a wonderful massage on my feet and calves! I will DEFINITELY be back and I will tell everyone to come here!! 😍 (note that my nails have been done for a week now and they still look this good)
