BLUE OCEAN NAILS - DENVER

"First, the salon is big, bright, and CLEAN. The staff are all nice too. I was able to get in almost last minute for a dip + manicure + eyebrow wax. Cindy took her time, and made sure I loved the shape, color, and design. She also checked in throughout the process to make sure I was comfortable and nothing was causing pain. All of my services together were the same as just a dip without design at the last place I was going to long term. I'll be back and requesting Cindy again, but will be adding a pedi too!"

"They did two tips and they not only a totally different color than the rest of my nails but she drilled my nail down so much, it's ruined. Like paper thin and sensitive. I kept telling her she was hurting me and she just continued. This is ridiculous, I have naturally THICK nails and thus will take months to grow out"

"PHOTOS TAKEN 2 WEEKS++AFTER MY MANICURE - still looks great!! My usual tech was out so Judy helped me and suggested I try her builder gel manicure for a very natural look. It goes on differently- takes a skilled tech to apply, and cures with a light like dip/gel. I am so pleased with the results. Nails look great almost 3 weeks after application! Outgrowth is almost unnoticeable because slight pink tint of base matches my nail bed. Zero chipping or pulling up at cuticle line. Product is thinner feeling than dipping powder. Adheres well to my nailbed. Doesn't discolor like regular gel either. Usually about 2 weeks in my dip/gel gets a yellow tint on white tips. This gel product has not discolored. If you want a long lasting natural look, try Judy and her builder gel system (I think that's what it's called). my usual tech, Nga, is also great at dip powder French and does a nice manicure and will listen to what you want. Little language barrier, but she always confirms shape and amount of white tip as she proceeds. Her dip powder manicures really last long too. I've had a few pedicures here and all have been great. Think Katie did my last one. (Might have name wrong). I will for sure seek her out again. Gave a good acupressure-style foot massage that I found super relaxing and stress relieving. The salon is doing a nice job remodeling the salon to their own style. I will say Prices seem a bit higher than other places. But if the polish lasts extra long and service is outstanding, it's worth a little extra to me."

"I really wanted to love this place. This was my first time getting my nails done in ages as a “treat yourself” for my birthday. The nail technician seemed to be in a huge hurry. She was painfully rough and didn’t paint the sides or bottoms of the nails, so they looked outgrown. My pinky toes look particularly sad because she cut them down too short and barely painted them. I also got bubbles because she didn’t wait long enough between layers When I mentioned these things to her she was PISSED. I was told that if I wanted it fixed I had to do it then and there and couldn’t reschedule a polish change. It sucked to have to spend over two hours there to fix the mistakes with a different technician on my birthday :( EDIT: it’s been two days and my nails are already chipping BADLY."
