Here’s a positive review you can use for Island Nails Oakleaf:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️My friend, Stevi, had an amazing experience at Island Nails in Oakleaf! From the moment she walked in, the staff made her feel welcome and relaxed. The salon is clean, beautifully decorated, and has a calm, inviting atmosphere.The nail techs are incredibly skilled and paid great attention to detail, making sure her nails turned out exactly how she wanted. She loved how they took their time to ensure perfection without ever feeling rushed. Plus, their selection of colors and designs was fantastic!If you’re looking for top-notch service, a peaceful environment, and flawless nails, Island Nails is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I normally prefer dip power, and they have always kept my nails healthy. I started to try someone else, and my poor nail beds were getting so thin! Went back to Island Nails, and he took such care of my thinning nail beds, trying to be careful not to use the machine on them. And what made it even better is that he recognized it without me telling him and took action. I truly appreciate the love and care for my nails and nail beds and explaining the products being used. I would recommend them to anyone.

I had been going to Walmart in Brandenfield for my nails. They do a good job, but they dont do what you ask. They do what they think. I came to island nails, and I am happy all the time do to they do what you want, not what they want. The prices are reasonable too.

Loved the way my nails and feet looked! The ladies who did my pedicure and fill in were so sweet! Will definitely come back to this location!

Only place I go to get my nails done. Very friendly staff who are always accommodating and understanding. Will fix anything you don’t like before you walk out the door! Relaxing and welcoming environment. Nail color lasts LONG - picture of my “Christmas” nails was after 3 weeks! I highly recommend!

Everyone there is so sweet and friendly. My nail tech remembered me and my sister from over four years ago and we only came in once! Super gentle with my hands and polite. Didn’t overcharge at all, and super quiet and relaxing ambient noises. Did a wonderful job and even picked this pretty color for me! Thank you!

I have tried many nail salons since moving to Jax and this one is by far my favorite. These ladies go above and beyond for you and they are so sweet! I love my nails and could not be happier. I think the pricing is very fair! I would recommend scheduling ahead, I was lucky enough to get a walk in appointment but believe me when I tell you, they spend their time making sure everything is perfect. This is not an in and out kind of place and you will get the full experience. Thank you ladies, I will be back!

I went to get a full set last weekend, it was my first time coming to get my nails done here. I had Andy do my nails with the dipped OPI powder black ombre. I absolutely adore them. I will definitely be going back to get my nails done by him from now on and refer my friends. Pics dont do these justice.

Review 10 (2018-02-04 - Rating: 5)
Came in last minute to have SNS/OPI and a pedicure and left with this amazing work. Andy completed my SNS/OPI on my nails and I could not be more happier that I chose this salon. He showed me what an SNS/OPI set really should look like. Andy and his wife were extremely nice and they work they did on my hands and feet on such short notice I am so thankful. I do definitely will be returning to this salon in the future and beyond. Excellent service!

(my wifes Facebook post😅)Dying over my pink & white ombred glitter sns!!✨I rave and rave about my nail tech for a reason; Andy is a dream come true. Being a hairstylist I always pay attention to the small details. If the implements are fresh , does the pedicure bowl have fresh plastic over it.. Sanitation is everything. Make sure your nail tech is honest with you and using true SNS .SNS nails or Signature Nail Systems is a technique based on dipping. Manicurists use a brush-on gel base coat and primer on the nail that is immediately dipped into the powder. ... The powder provides your nails with a healthy alternative as SNS uses organically processed chemicals and no UV lamp to finish the style.If you’re nails/skin is sensitive this is a perfect alternative for you!My nails burn with uv light and I get itchy(allergies) with acrylic.Thanks Andy, as usual!💅🏽💕

They were so sweet and my niece loved her nails for her 11th birthday. Will be coming back again… Her smile is everything

I have been going here since at the earliest two thousand and eleven. I have never once had a problem with how they do my nails. They know exactly what I want. I started getting the dip back in December of two thousand and eighteen and it last up to five weeks. I get them done at the end of the month and have no issues. Andy always knows the length of my nails without me telling him how short. I love getting my pedicures done and my hands. Keep up the good work :).

Island Nails is fabulous! Owned by a family in our own community so you know your hard earned dollar is going back into your own community. They are so friendly and make you feel so welcome. Always ask about your service and want to make sure the customer is happy! If you ever are not just let Andy the owner know, and he will make it right! He genuinely cares about the customer and wants each one to have a great experience. I have used all of the services and love them all! You wont be disappointed. Give them a try!

Review 19 (2017-02-15 - Rating: 5)
I had the very best pedicure experience here with my mom! Literally, the very best pedicure Ive ever had! They were busy, which usually means they hurry up and get on to the next person, but not this time. They took their time with everything, expecially the massage, and did a really phenomenal job for both of us. My mom and I were both so happy with our experience and will definitely be going back next time!

Review 20 (2017-07-15 - Rating: 5)
I have been always happy with their service. I tried many salons in Jacksonville but they were rushing and not doing their job well. I am so happy I found this place. Kim is always the one getting my nails done. Their price is standard not overpriced. Been going here for more than 2 years since we moved. I can see that they have regular patrons keep coming back. Andy and Sandy have the best customer service! Love this place.

Review 21 (2020-10-26 - Rating: 5)
Andy did my nails and did a excellent job. I’ve had many fills before but he went over and above making sure every nail was even. Then Sandy did my pedicure and also did an excellent job. The shop was very clean and they were sanitizing everything the whole time I was there. I would definitely recommend this salon. It was a little expensive but the quality was very good.

Review 22 (2020-05-24 - Rating: 5)
As a Nurse on the front line I was hesitant to go to any nail salon due to Covid 10. I stand on my feet all day and after 3 months I have it a try. I was impressed the moment I walked in. The concern for safety permeated the air. I was asked to go wash my hands before touching anything.I thought I found my place. They are very kind, and are adhering to all the rules with no hesitation, only 3 customers were allowed at one time when I was there. Appointments only. I feel so much better after my pedicure, ready for work Tuesday. Thank you Islam Nails, Ill be sure to to be back and recommend to my nurse friends. G_d Bless you

Review 23 (2022-09-05 - Rating: 5)
I have been a going to this location for as long as I can remember. 2004/2005. Andy is awesome, along with the rest of the staff. This shop makes me feel like family every time I come in; No matter how long its been since Ive been there. ( during covid it was a long bit) I love that family owed and operated. And I will continue to support!💜 plus its always clean!

Review 24 (2020-06-19 - Rating: 5)
So I recently received a pedicure from island nails.It was great quality at a reasonable price! All the technicians there were super friendly, and due to everything happening with COVID-19 they were cleaning and sanitizing everything! Which was awesome! Im definitely going to be coming back for all of my future pedicure needs!

Review 25 (2019-12-07 - Rating: 5)
Professional, clean, kindhearted family atmosphere which produces beautiful nails. Recommend making an appointment as they have MANY repeat customers and stay busy. I tried 3 other local nail salons and Andy’s OPI powder nails surpassed by far. My nails are healthy, gorgeous and last several weeks!

Review 26 (2016-04-23 - Rating: 5)
Best nail service in a long time. Andy did my gel(liquid) overlay and it looks AMAZING. I walked in without an appointment on a Saturday and received 5 star treatment. Excellent customer service, quick and expert job on my nails. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Review 27 (2019-08-09 - Rating: 5)
I love this salon and their staff. I have been going here for years and never had a bad experience. Andy keeps up with the newest trends and always tells people if what they want will work for them or not. He doesn’t want to do something for someone and it not work out. I like that. It would be better to make an appointment as they are very busy. As for the reviews of the staff being rude, I’ve watched the staff interact with customers nicely telling them they are busy can they come back in an hour or whatever and the customer gets mad. Everyone is always friendly and professional.

Review 28 (2021-04-08 - Rating: 5)
I love Andy, his wife and his team. Nobody does my nails and toes like them. Andy knows exactly how I like my nails and he makes sure theyre perfect every time. Ive tried a few other nail salons in the area and they dont compare. Island Nails also follows all covid protocols and they make sure the salon is clean.

Review 29 (2019-01-22 - Rating: 5)
Today was my first experience here and I absolutely loved it! I went in asking for acrylic with a gel polish because that is what I’m used to but Andy suggested that I try the SNS nails. I decided I would just to see if I like them. They are much lighter, quicker, and durable than the acrylic and are good for your nails as well. The time to do the nails was the perfect amount, I went in at 10 and was done in an hour. The shape is exactly what I wanted. I showed him a picture and he did exactly as I asked. I mention this because I have been to some salons that I show them exactly what I want and it does not turn out like what I ask. The shop is very clean and does not have the overpowering nail salon smell in it (being pregnant this was very important to me). The pricing is exactly what you should expect from a nail salon. If you want to pay a cheap price you get cheap products and vise versa. I paid $55 for my SNS nails and that is really good in my opinion for a set of nails that are gorgeous, healthy, and durable. Overall Andy is the man to see. I really enjoyed my experience here and I will definitely be back!!!

Review 30 (2016-06-09 - Rating: 5)
My boyfriend took me to get my nails done for my birthday, I had previously come here with my friend when she got her nails done. When i called to make an appointment and was treated with the utmost respect and even was given the choice on who to work on my nails. Having seen Andy work before I immediately asked for him. Me and my boyfriend were treated like royalty, the prices were fair, and my nails were done exactly how I asked. Andy even gave my boyfriend the opportunity to try and do the acrylic for one of my nails so that he could eventually do them. Definitely will go back.

I have been coming to Island Nails for over 8 years. I am a long time customer .The owners take good care of me everytime Ive come in.Its nice to feel comfortable with the service and people providing the service. Ask for Sandy who is one of the owners, she gives the best leg and foot massage. It is without a doubt they provide great service and do great quality work.

Review 32 (2023-11-08 - Rating: 5)
A relaxing experience. The owner/manager always comes by to check how you’re doing. I enjoyed my pedicure 😊 coming again for my birthday!

Review 33 (2018-11-15 - Rating: 5)
I called ahead and was very happy with the pleasant personnel and lovely rooms. The sound of a calming waterfall and the tv on with closed captioning instead of sound added to the ambiance. I had a new type of manicure that is pretty and lasting! You get what you pay for, they are not exhorbitant. Andy is a very good and gentle manicurist and I will be back!

Review 34 (2012-12-22 - Rating: 4)
The couple that own and run island nails are awesome. She is a perfectionist, redid my right hand about four times until she got it right. He is kind and patient, a lovely man. Their prices are great and they actually pay attention to the quality of their work. Their gel OPI manicures are a great investment. My color lasts for a month, without fail. Plus, I watched them interact with regular customers who they genuinely seem to care about, which is something seldom seen these days. Its a great change from the place in the mall who rush you in and out, destroying whatever they were trying to do in the first place.

Review 35 (2023-05-13 - Rating: 5)
This is my favorite nail salon! They always do a really good job and everyone is really nice. Prices are good and they have tons of options for colors/types of polish and powders.

I absolutely love Island Nails!! The owner Andy does a fantastic job, hes very meticulous and is constantly asking if Im happy with my nails with every step. I would not go anyplace else. Most importantly, his salob is very clean and hes constantly sanitizing EVERYTHING after each customer to make sure he keeps everyone safe from COVID-19. Love Island Nails ❤🏝

Review 38 (2016-09-09 - Rating: 5)
I decided to come here after searching nail salons in the area. Island nails was the top rated salon with 3.8 stars. I read the reviews and became in skeptical and had my reservations, but decided to try anyway. I entered with my 3yo son and I was asked what services I wanted. I thought there would be a problem with me having him. When they turned the water on my son took his shoes off and stuck his feet in. Once a certain chemical was placed on my foot in was asked politely to take his feet out cause it may cause his feet to itch (skin too sensitive). I respect her request. All I got was a spa pedicure. My tech was Hanna and she wasnt very talkative, which is ok. She took her time and painted my nails with the color I selected. She placed my flip flops back on and she put my son shoes back on as well (that was nice of Hanna). The salon was clean and quiet. The bathroom was clean also. I like the way it is decorated. I would return to this salon. Thank you Hanna

I have been coming to Island Nails for over a year now and I will not go anywhere else. Andy does such a great job on my nails and I dont always have the same person do my pedicures, but no matter who does it they always do a great job. If for some reason you arent happy with your service they will always make it right. I highly recommend Island Nails

Review 40 (2021-05-11 - Rating: 5)
This is beyond my most favorite place in Orange Park / Oakleaf area. They took their time to make sure all the kinks were gone they took so much care and effort into my nails. I love them. The acrylics turned out soooo good not thick at all they feel great. Totally worth it

Review 41 (2019-05-30 - Rating: 5)
I recently moved to Oakleaf area a few months ago. My daughter came to visit from Houston and we wanted to get pedicures. We went to Island Nails and had an amazing experience.They did such a good job I made an appointment with Andy and had a mani/organic pedi. He fit me right in the same day. I had SNS done on my hands and they look great. I will definitely be back with that kind of customer service.

Review 42 (2021-04-17 - Rating: 5)
Always greated with a smile when you enter. They do a awesome job on my pedicure and the ladies are so sweet. They are constantly cleaning and mask is a must. I feel so relax when I come to this establishment.

Review 43 (2020-07-22 - Rating: 5)
Island Nails is doing an AMAZING job with sanitizing and social distance!! They are always very clean but they are going above and beyond with keeping everything clean, sanitized and crowd control! You have to make an appointment and limited people can be in the salon. They are all using double masks, face shields for pedicures and plexi glass for manicures. They are constantly sanitizing something when they get even a two second break!! Im 9 months pregnant and felt completely comfortable in the salon because if everything they had in place. 10 stars for sure!

This is the only place I go for manicures and pedicures! They are immaculately clean and are following all the new CDC guidelines pertaining to COVID-19.They are the only place I’ve ever found that does a perfect French ombré!

Im not sure why they have been given bad reviews, I am new to thed area from Miami and they are very welcoming and kind. Their prices are normal for the services rendered. A very clean storefront with an amazing and calming aroma. Andy was amazingly courteous and polite. Many people have different opinions and I cant judge anyone if thedy were not satisfied. I however have nothing bad to say and highly recommend you visit it yourself!#lovedit

Today was my first visit to Island Nails, and it certainly won’t be my last! It’s conveniently located in the Oakleaf Town Center between Publix and Workout Anytime. The salon was clean, and the associates were all very friendly. I got a manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax. All three services turned out great. Highlights included: a lovely hand and arm massage during my manicure with a peony OPI lotion that smelled divine and an awesome sugar scrub during my pedicure. Can’t wait to return!
