I absolutely love the staff. They always take such great care of me and make me feel so pampered. I won’t go anywhere else. My nails always look fabulous.

Liz is great. She’s so patient and always does an AMAZING job. The only nail place in Albuquerque I’ve been impressed by.

Happy with my service. Got the paraffin dip pedicure /White tip coffin shape acrylic nails. Clean environment and kind customer service and nail technicians. Even the phone call was kind.They are only losing one star because the nail finish is not the cleanest as shown in pictures.

Used this place twice. Both times made a CONFIRMED appointment ahead of time. First time was halfway decent. Second time, I walk in and they tell me to come back tomorrow because they are busy. Why could you not call me before I drove all the way there after I received another confirmation text an hour earlier? Will NEVER use this place again, total waste of time for subpar work.

Very friendly, professional and accommodating. Reasonable prices. Will be going back again.

I highly recommend this place. Hannah was great! Did exactly as I asked 👌😁 I love my nails! So beautiful 💜🙌

Super sweet staff here. Theyre engaging and like to talk to their customers. Would go back

I was there from 11am to 1pm. This is the end result of red chrome nails, they actually look better in the picture.

Jenny the manager is the best and sweetest lady ..love my nails

Received a gel manicure. 3 days and it still looks bright and shiny. The process was not very calming or relaxing - there were bowls everywhere, which made it difficult to place my arms and hands and I kept being told I wasnt relaxing my fingers enough. So the tech would chide me to the point that I just wanted to get out of there. What was a starting price quote of 30 dollars, ended up being 55 when I left because I didnt quite understand her explanation of what she offered vs. what she was upselling me.

I will never do my nails anywhere else. They are so cute and amazing here I was relaxed by the time i.left there

Always friendly and they do my nails exactly how I want them every time....perfect. Professional and very nice people.

Tina was super helpful and very kind. She did a wonderful job.

Really NOT happy. I asked the nail tech to not shorten my nails with fill. Not only did she not listen to anything that I said but none of my nails are even. I asked for a few simple designs, I asked her to remove. Worst shape ever. Poor quality control. I’m on my way to get my nails redone a full set. I WILL NEVER BE BACK.

I went for a pedicure and added the salt and foot rub but it felt bad. A little painful and honestly not satisfying. The service was average but I wouldn’t go here again, feeling a little cheated.

I’m really bummed about my service from this place. I came in an hour before close. And the second I walked in they looked irritated that I was there. The sign says they close at 7:30. A lady sat me down and her entire work station looked so messy like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. There was a bowl of accitone sitting on her work station and she had me put my fingers in it. And I don’t know how long it was sitting there. She had me pick a color and she said well this one is more expensive. And I said okay? That’s the one I want. She said okay do you want a full manicure and I said yes. She literally did nothing that a normal manicurist would do! She painted my nails and that was it. She didn’t even take the tool and go underneath my nails take any of the debris left over from the nail file out. Well doing my gel nails she didn’t wait for the light on the timer to finish between each coat. She just switched it on and off when she pleased so it didn’t curate properly. She still charged me for a full manicure when I didn’t even get my cuticles trimmed. While I’m sitting in the chair a lady is with a filthy mop head literally mopping around me. And my chair. I told the lady I’m sorry I came late I thought an hour before close was enough time, she said o we close at 7:00. But the sign clearly says 7:30! it’s not like I was getting acrylic nails I was literally just getting gel polish that’s it. Now not even a full two days later my polish is coming off. I left having to scrap the nail polish left over on my skin off and from underneath my nail. Not worth $30. I’m so upset. I don’t get my nails done often it’s expensive and it’s a treat so to get crappy service it really sucks. And I’m not a mean person I even still left a tip. But I feel like I shouldn’t have.

My mother and I went in to get our nails done. She got helped right away but I ended up waiting for 45 minutes for service. They ended up helping 3 other people before me. I specifically asked the nail tech for a black ombre stiletto nails and instead of letting me know that she couldnt do it, she attempted and my nails look like utter garbage. I tried giving instructions on how I wanted them shaped and she did the exact opposite. I spent 100$ for my mom and I and wish I could get a refund. Im going elsewhere tomorrow to have them removed and redone. Sad to say I wont be returning.

I showed her a set that I wanted and she said that it would be “easy” she did two of the nails and I didn’t like them so I asked her if she could change them and she said no.

The staff is super rude and unprofessional. I did a pedicure and the lady that did it kept pulling my feet and would get annoyed if I would ask her to repeat what she asked. Will not be returning!

They were very busy and I was a walk-in but they kept assuring me that they would see me. They were very respectful and Hanna was very awesome.

Friendly. Good service. Nice job on mani/pedi.

Got my nails done once and now its officially my go-to nail place!I didnt have the greatest experience at another nail bar, so I was on the hunt for a better place.Customer service: Everyone is super friendly here!The nail technician who did my nails always made sure my nail shape and the colors were to my liking. She kept checking and asking if it was what I liked and wanted, which was really nice.The nail tech took her time with my nails and the result was amazing! Ever since I got my nails done, Ive been getting tons of compliments.Atmosphere: Super clean, modern interior!I love that this nail shop is smells and looks very clean, compared to others nail places in Albuquerque.Its very bright and the decor is nice and modern.Overall, the best nail experience Ive received in Albuquerque! 5 stars all around. Cannot wait to go back to get a fill!

I go to Happy Nails all the time because I LOVE THE JOB that I get from Sandra and I will make my appointment with her or wait for her she does a great job every time I will be going back as long as she can get me in or that I get the quality of work that she does !!!

Recieved a full set, finger nails came out great looking. Tech was friendly and gentle. Also got a pedicure which lasted only 10 mins, very minimal effort in the pedicure process and was rushed through. ToeNail polish chipped same day, would not try the pedicure again. I have mixed feelings if i would come to this salon again.

I gave the lady a picture of what I wanted and it came out horrible!!! The polish feels so tacky and when I barely even scrape the surface the glitter removes I hate these nails 😭😭😭😭 at first she was doing good then all of a sudden she ruined my nails completely and I hate them so much I paid $47 for nails that feel like my 5 year old niece painted for me worse nail experience ever! 😠

First time here and I loved it !! Very polite individuals and very professional. Definitely recommend. Will be returning in the future (:

Best nail salon!! I’ve been coming here for the past few years an I love it!!! Amazing friendly people and great service!! Jenny is excellent she is so nice!!

***** an amazing job on my nails. She paid such great attention to detail and assured they were perfect. a great job on my pedicure. Very relaxing. She took her time and was very friendly.((((((()))))))

I wish I could post the pictures I took. After two weeks I had two nails fall off and the rest are not glued or filed properly. After the third week a nail tore off taking my nail with it and it was a bloody mess. I work front desk and don’t use my hands for a lot of harsh things. I was really disappointed by experience.

The lady who did my pedicure was amazing although the the one who did my manicure pealed that night, and came off and the decals were forgotten.

Been going to Happy Nails & Jenny for many years...and we wouldnt go anywhere else! We always leave with 20 happy toes (& sometimes 10 happy fingers in her case)!!! You wont get a better mani/pedi anywhere else in the 505.

I got a regular manicure and a gel pedicure. They spent such a long time making sure that my pedicure was perfect, especially. Now maybe I got a little bit lucky, because I was the only one in the shop at the time, but they still spent a lot of effort on me and it seems like a very good value for the money. The shop is simple but clean, and you dont have to deal with chemical stench. I was not disappointed. I definitely will plan to come back! I recommend that you try this place as well.

Overall, great experience and my nails are fresh! They prepped my nail very well, got all the hangnails out and shaped it well to my liking. Also the salon itself is clean! Great attention to detail. Def coming back again for another gel manicure. Anyways, had a pleasant experience as a walk in.

Got my nails done by 2 different girls at this place and both girls did my nails wrong even with a photo of what I wanted. Very unprofessional.

Really love the salon. First time going here and I really enjoyed my time. It was very professional as soon as you enter the door. Mani and pedi are best. Very clean nail salon as well. I will be coming back.

They always good I love them

Stopped in for my first set of nails here and had a great experience.Everyone was kind, funny, and accommodating.I showed the tech a picture of what I wanted with some exceptions and she did amazing. Her input was so helpful, too. They stayed late to make sure I was happy and were not rude about it.It was a wonderful experience.I would recommend them. Their services are great. I will definitely be coming back!

Ladies were sweet with my daughter while giving her a pedicure. My gel nails lasted a good 2 weeks. A BIT pricey though. Wish they would be more clear on what service youre asking for/receiving so at the end youre not surprised by a HUGE BILL.

Quick and efficient! The salon is clean and well ventilated. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of work they provide. You have to give them a try! You wont be disappointed!I will definitely come back here where the wait time is less and the staff very friendly and customer oriented!

I love this place! They gave me the best nails. I love how they take the time to fix extra little details. They have great prices, And Its definitely a steel! 100% recommended.

This place is amazing. I called last minute and they took me right away. Everyone was friendly. They did my nails exactly the way I like them. The pedicure was fantastic even with a hot stone massage. This is my new favorite nail shop! Ill be back for sure.

I have always liked this place but now I love it!I have had gel manicures, spa pedicures and waxing done over the past 10+ years and have always been supremely satisfied after each visit: its therapeutic!The owner is the consummate professional: warm, personable, accommodating and wholly dedicated to excellence and customer service, and her wonderful staff reflect her commitment. Did I mention the prices are reasonable? Even if you dont live in the Albuquerque area, Happy Nails is worth the trip!

It was my first time at morning side nail salon and I could not have walked away more happy! I went at about 4:30 on a Tuesday and was seated in a pedicure chair immediately. Liz did my pedicure and it was amazing! She did not skimp on the massage! The staff was friendly and they had an extensive selection of polish! I would highly recommend!!!

Ladies are so nice and make you feel comfortable i always get the pedicure deluxe

They got to me quickly and The technical did my nails was super attentive and did an amazing job. They also had a magnetic nail polish there I have been wanting to try. I came here because the first place I called was all full on appointments. I really appreciate how quick and helpful they were when I had questions and was still trying to decide what I wanted to do. I will definitely be coming back here again.

These ladies were awesome! My MIL and I are both very happy with our nails; my man is happy with the price! $123 total for both + tips on Mothers Day

Amazing staff and amazing job! Super happy!

First time here and I love the modern design. I ask for a gel polish change on my toes to match my nails and at first the results were not a match and a misunderstanding. I mentioned the name of my color from a prior shop but they call it a different name and I wasnt aware.My manicurist immediately came over and corrected my color and made my day!! Thank you for explaining what happened and correcting with no hesitation! I will be gladly returning as I was SUPER happy with my results. I even ended up adding to my nail design in which I wasnt initially.Id absolutely be back if I need my nails done any time Im in town. Great service, great staff.

Amazing! Been coming here for 8 years. Go see Liz !

Wish I could review showing no stars.

Khan gave me an awesome pedicure. She was friendly and professional. Wait time was not long. I was in and out. So happy I will definitely be returning to this location.

I went here to get my nails done for a gel manicure with nail design. The girls that worked on my nails were super meticulous. They made sure to take their time fixing up my nails before applying a single coat of polish. I have been to this nail salon a few times now. I have always had good experiences here, but this time I was totally blown away by how great of a job they did.Id absolutely be back if I need my nails done any time Im in town. Great service, great staff.

Ive been to and the level of skill and quality here is better than my place. The owner is super picky about the techs they hire. Every single person here does AMAZING nails, you never have to worry about who does your nails because they are all awesome. Very relaxing time!

They always get you in quickly, dont have to wait for more than 10 minutes. Everyone that works here is so talented and also just plain nice. They listen to what you want, are gentle and precise, and make sure your nails come out just how you want them. This place really is the bes

Quality service, Attention to detail, and the polish doesnt peel off! This is my new go to place. I would recommend to everyone! But I suggest making an appointment because they are busy and dont always have time for walk-ins. I recommend this location if you are ever needing to look for a trustful and 10 star results.

The Lady took her time kept checking in with me on the look of nails, I loved the nails I walked out there with 💛

Love love this place. Always gets me in when I need a full set and always does a beautiful job

Today was my first time here. I am very happy with my trip here. I got a pedicure and a fill in. Both people who worked on me were very nice and they did exactly what I wanted. The salon is very clean and in a convenient location. I live about 2 minutes away. I will probably make this my regular nail salon.

For over ten years, Ive been a client at another nail salon in Albuquerque that I tolerated because they were fast. However, the employees were so snarky to each other that it was rarely a pleasant experience.On a whim, I stopped at Happy Nails after work one day. What a difference. People just need to find Happy NailsPricing is completely fair for the services rendered -- if not underpriced. The employees seem happy -- which is a HUGE change from other salons. The quality is superb. Im one of their new -- and now loyal -- customers.I would definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back!

Love this place!!! Ive been coming here for about 3 months! it is definitely my go to nail salon. The customer service is amazing. Jenny is THE BEST. The decor is beautiful and its super clean. So glad I found this place. As long as they keep doing a great job I will keep coming!!!

Always happy with my pedicure

Made an appointment & the manager responded really quick. When I arrived at the salon, I was greeted & the receptionist was very friendly. I had to wait a few minutes because I wasnt in their appointment book, but it wasnt a big deal for me. Chairs were very comfy anyways haha.I started off w/I believe was the manager, then I was changed to a different tech. Long story short, she did an amazing job. I have found my go to place!

The best nail salon in Albuquerque!My nail tech is fantastic, and gave me honest & direct recommendations on restoring my nails while still leaving with the results I want. On top of that, she is the most detailed perfectionist youll ever come across :)I will definitely come back here where the wait time is less and the staff very friendly and customer oriented!

Had my first appointment here for a basic pedicure. The staff was very nice and this lady who helped me did a great job. Best price around the area too. Definitely going to come back regularly!

This is my favorite place to get my manicure/pedicure. The place is clean, affordable, and they really go the extra mile to take of you and make you feel comfortable. They always do a quality job and they have the magical nail gel that makes my manicure last for weeks without chipping or peeling. Ill be back soon!

This place was amazing. I just moved here and was worried I wouldnt find anywhere as good as the place I was going to there, but I got it on my first try. Best customer service. Did excellent job with spa pedicure and eyebrows. Definitely going back here from now on. I got the deluxe spa pedicure and I think the extra money was worth the job done. My feet feel amazing.

Quiet, relaxing and spotless. First time at Happy Nails and will def be back. The salon is very clean and the nail techs are very friendly. Excellent job on both the manicure and pedicure. Chairs are also comfy. Highly recommend!

I had myself a nail emergency on my trip to Albuquerque and wanted to get my nails done before heading to the strip since I had some time. Using my trusty google app, this was close to me and how can you not be attracted to the name?The store is really nice and seems like a new shop. I was greeted right away and helped. They helped me through my nail crisis and were decently priced too. I would definitely come here again.

Love this place been going for 13years!

My first time at Happy Nails and its definitely one of the best places in the city. Liz did my nails and she really took her time to make sure it turned out the way I wanted. The manager was very friendly and greeted me promptly and offered a beverage. I love the fact that they addressed me by name. Definitely check them out.

Happy Nails is amazing! Very detailed orientated and clean. She has great energy and even better conversation. Their studio is very cozy and wonderful! Will definitely be back!

The staff here are incredibly friendly and professional. The amenities are clean and modern. Every time I come I here I know I will be well taken care of. Very glad this spot opened. I will 100% be back & refer my friends and family!!

🌾I had a hard time finding a good, quality nail salon. In the last year I have found a few but, trumps all!It is therefore it is very peaceful and clean! You are able to enjoy your time there. Hints the word time... they really do take their time. It is a little bit more pricey than your average salon, however it is a spa not necessarily a salon so the price might shine through there. Their color selection is awesome and a SNS god! I want to say all of their pedicure products are organic but Im a little too relaxed to pay attention.Last thing I want to mention is that any time I have gotten a pedicure, it has lasted me weeks. Im talking I went hiking at National Park in for 3 days and they still looked perfect! Highly highly recommend, next time you treat yourself !🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

First pedi? The finest. I stopped by here with a friend for a much needed toe time and the results were beautifully unexpected.These ladies pamper your hardcore to ensure that you have the best results with a much more natural clean.

Awesome experience today with Liz! After being on a ship for a week, and not willing to pay the astronomical fees on the ship, I found this place! Highly recommend this salon. They were quick to respond to my inquiries and were able to work me in with no problem! My nails look great!

Super clean and cute interior. The staff here are friendly and easy to talk to. Im glad that I came here for my first experience. Will be back again!

I saw how highly everyone spoke of Happy Nails on Google and wanted to try it myself as I just moved to the area.Wowwww it was exactly like it sounds on all the reviews.Jenny was so detail oriented and the neck/massage at the end of my gel manicure was amazing too. Would highly recommendAlso guy at the front was so kind too and helped me get the most out of my first experience!

This is the spot! My favorite nail salon for sure. Technician is the newest nail tech I believe and he is amazing! Super sweet and very considerate. All of them do an amazing job.

Great nail salon! Beautiful decor and very talented and friendly staff. I will definitely come back here where the wait time is less and the staff very friendly and customer oriented!

Amazing service! Quick nails! Everyone is friendly! They have a wide range of skills and talent. They try to make sure you leave happy with a quality product. They even take care of children! They do manicures and pedicures for reasonable prices. They have clean tables and chairs. They try to keep everything clean. I cant wait to go back!

Love everyone here! Especially Rose. Every time I have a vision for my nails, she never disappoints to deliver the most gorgeous set of nails Ive ever seen yet long lasting and durable. Im always in awe when Rose finished with my nails. I get so many compliments everywhere I go even with men. With acrylics, there are many winning points in Rose skills, not only does it need to look pretty, it also need master skill to last. Im someone whos very particular with my nails, needless to say I do drive to Albuquerque to come see her quite often and she worth every minute of my drive. Happy Nails staff is amazing, I love it here and will continue to come here for endless.

Gel nails that last for two weeks at minimum! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Multiple color choices.I will definitely come back here where the wait time is less and the staff very friendly and customer oriented!

I’ve been going to Liz for over 5 years and I have ALWAYS been happy she even made some amazing designs on my little girls nails over the years! My whole family goes to Liz now!!! Amazing work

Happy Nails is consistently a wonderful experience. Although I have my favorites, I have never gotten a bad manicure, pedicure. The space is very clean and new chairs are terrific!

They do a great job and are extremely professional! My girls (14 & 7) love going here!

I love this salon and if I can help it I will not go any where else! Jenny is the best! How quick I am in and out I couldnt be happier with this place! Also a great color selection with all the top brands and they stay on trend with the color pallet!!

The new nail studio in my area of town did not disappoint! Fast, friendly, and fancy - just how I like them. Jenny helped me pick out my color and did an awesome job on my full set + their pedicures were relaxing and thorough. Prices were reasonable and similar to most Albuquerque nail salons.

I would say that this place is really nice! I haven’t been there in awhile and they got the whole place redone and it looks better! My nails obviously getting better and better every visit! I would definitely recommend going to this salon! I see new faces there and they are amazing at what they are doing! I would recommend anyone to give this place a try at least!

They do great work here - their gel manicure is tops and my pedicure held strong for at least a month. Highly recommended for high quality work.

I have been coming here now for a year after leaving my last place that I was with for four years. The prices here are fantastic, just got my acrylic nails filled and polished for $17. The atmosphere is friendly. When I make an appointment 90% of the time they’re able to take me at my appointment time. Developing a personal relationship with your nail artist is very important. I love Linn!

Best mani Ive ever had! I came in for a special event and my tech took the time to make sure my nails looked perfect and suggested an amazing color. The place was so cute, so clean, and my tech was amazing. Her and I talked and laughed the whole time. Not only did the quality ccome our amazing, but my experience was top notch!

I went in here for the first time I met with technician and she was amazing !!! Everything pretty much is eco-friendly, Super organic And very neat. I will definitely be back!

My absolute favorite... gel nails from here last MUCH longer than from anywhere else. Last 3 WHOLE WEEKS after my service! Great job. Ill be back

Best Toe nail job ever!!!

Previous review Liz was my nail technician today and let me tell you about my experience. She greeted me with a warm welcome and got me seated right away to start on my acrylics. She was very detail-oriented and payed attention to every single nail. One of my nail is kind of weird but she also fixed it, so happy how they all came out! If you want to talk to someone go to Liz! Shes not awkward and can talk to you about anything. My friend was with me and she also made her feel comfortable. Thank you!

I called looking for a last minute, near by place to get a gel manicure. They said they were able to take me in right away so I drove down and they really did take me in right away. Jenny, I believe was her name was really friendly and did a great job with my nails!

If there was a 6th star to give I would. I have been nail salon hopping for several years, but the quest for the best pedi is over at long last.I went per the recommendation of a good friend who frequents this salon and I am so glad I took her advice!Ive gone twice and both times have left feeling relaxed, thrilled with my nails, and like Ive gotten a great bang for my buck.This salon is quiet and clean which are huge pluses in my book. The staff are warm and welcoming and truly take their time to give you a relaxed experience as opposed to the herded cattle feeling Ive experienced with other salons that want quick turnover and rush you out the door. Paint jobs last for ages. I absolutely adore the lady who does my nails and will be going back ASAP!I recommend this location if you are ever needing to look for a trustful and 10 star results.

I want to CRYYYY!!! I just walked out and got my nails done in here and for the 1st time i found a really good place to go now since i moved here in Albuquerque. Manicurist did my nails and the color i picked did not blend well with my natural thick nails and came out spotty, she did an AWESOME job with the shape and all..THANK you so much! They still ONLYcharged me for what i asked for and nothing more. Unlike other places who will make you feel like your taking so much of their time, they made sure i felt comfortable walking out and loving my nails!Will definitely come back here and recommend to all my friends who moved, are moving or just visiting Albuquerque!

Nice atmosphere. They take their time to make suggestions and listen to what you want. They were running behind but that gave us more time in the massage chairs! I will be back!!

My acrylic nails were very bumpy and deformed. I was going on vacation so the tip was hearty because I wanted my spa day to be perfect. Unfortunately they were judgemental on the design I wanted and did their own design and didn’t use the color I had picked to match my toes. they were yelling most of the time and i couldn’t relax. My nail broke 2 hrs after the visit so I went back to get it fixed and the manager was yelling at the lady who did my nails and they were upset I went back so soon. My nails were breaking one by one on my vacation where I did nothing but relax by the pool. I will never come back here again because quality is cheap and experience was aggressive.
