Best nail experience I've had! Got a gel manicure and I wish I was local and could come here all the time. They are so experienced and easy to talk to. I would 100% recommend this place!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This nail salon owner is absolutely incredible. We were in town for a wedding and with only two salons in the Outer Banks, everyone was completely booked. She went above and beyond by calling us back and fitting us in for manicures last minute to help the bride and bridal party look amazing for the big day. Not only was she so sweet and accommodating, but her work is flawless. She has the steadiest hands and created clean, sharp lines in no time at all. Our nails came out perfect! Even though she was the only one working over the weekend, she still made the effort to call us again and squeeze us in for pedicures last minute. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. One thing to note: she is incredibly busy (for very good reason!) and only works by appointment—so make sure to call ahead before stopping by the salon. This woman is a gem, and the Outer Banks is lucky to have her. She deserves all the praise and support—don’t think twice about booking here. Highly recommend!

Fabulous place to get your nails done! This was my first time ever getting a pedicure. I am on vacation and decided just this morning to get one done. I called in the morning and was able to get in the same day. The nail technician who helped me did such a great job–I felt well taken care of, and she even trimmed three places that were inflamed from ingrown toenails. I asked her to pick a color for me, and love how it turned out. She did such a great job that I decided to get my first manicure as well (and I was very graciously accommodated at the same appointment). A second nail technician did my fingernails, and also did a wonderful job. I am so pleased with how my nails turned out! The establishment was clean and inviting, the technicians were knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. A local happened to be in at the same time, and this establishment is so great she comes in every few weeks to get her nails done. I absolutely see why!

My first time getting my nails done in the Outer Banks and so glad I chose this place! The staff were friendly and thorough - the owner did a fantastic job with my gel mani. I usually do my own gels at home but having them done by a professional is next level! Love the almond shape. Appointments required - I called on Saturday and scheduled for Tuesday morning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Beach Nails is truly a gem! PJ, the owner, is not only savvy and professional but also incredibly caring and diligent. From start to finish, she gave me the best manicure and pedicure I’ve ever had. Her attention to detail is unmatched—every step felt intentional, thoughtful, and precise. What really stood out was how much PJ cared about the health of my nails. She took the time to teach me what to ask for (and what to avoid) with nail technicians back home so I can keep my nails strong and healthy long after my appointment. That kind of genuine care and education is rare in this industry! The results were nothing short of amazing—beautifully shaped nails with a flawless, brilliant finish that made me feel polished and sexy. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Ocean Nails and PJ are the perfect choice. I can’t recommend them enough! 🌊💅
