I can never go to another nail salon again because I’ve never had more consistent excellent service like I have at Happy Nails for the past 3+ years. June and Becca are amazing (as is everyone else there) but I always love being greeted by their friendly faces. Becca is a pro at nail art and followed a design I showed her perfectly while also adding her own creativity into it and making it better. No one rushes through or skips any steps and you’ll always leave with a perfectly detailed manicure. Cannot say enough positive things!!

From the moment you make to your appointment to the minute you leave, everyone is friendly and attentive. I feel very safe and happy that everyone that works there and who comes into the establishment is cautious, careful and wears their mask! Have been a customer for years and will be for years to come!! Great job ladies and gent!!!

I’ve been going to happy nails for 6 years! They always do an amazing job on my manicures and pedicures. I won’t go anywhere else, and now my friends go there too! They accommodated my bridal party for nails before my wedding! Clean, comfortable, and a great staff! Love the wide assortment of nail color and brands! 5 stars!!!

I have been going here for years and always leave with an amazing no chip mani/pedi and feeling refreshed. June and Becca take so much pride in their business and it shows with the care they take in their salon. As Covid continues, they put the safety of their staff and clients at the highest priority and have always made me feel safe. Go to this salon as soon as you can!

I have been steadily coming here for about 4ish years. I have moved three times and still go here. I will go out of my way to go to Happy Nails.My circle of friends goes here, I send clients here, I have never had an issue at this nail salon. Do you know how rare that is to say? They treat you like family + genuinely care about their work. 10/10 every timeI would ALWAYS recommend this place. I can’t say it enough. June + the team are phenomenalI don’t trust anywhere else to do my nails

Very pleased with the services Happy Nails offers. I have been attending this nail salon since 2013. Nail tech I have been getting services from is Mary, such a sweet, nice person. Very patient with me especially when I do not know what color I want.

I found happy nails right before they closed in March for the stay at home order. I was so impressed with the cleanliness in their salon, and my dip manicure lasted over three weeks! I was overjoyed when they opened back up. The sanitary measures they take make me feel safe and the employees do excellent, detailed work. Never once have I felt like they were rushing. I’ve been going consistently for dip manicures, but they do great pedicures as well. It’s nice to support a salon who really cares about the safety of their customers!

Favorite nail salon ever, and I’ve been to a lot. I’ve never had a bad experience and the technicians always do an amazing and efficient job

UPDATE: I called the salon and stated what my issue was. I was asked to come in to fix the problem with my nails. I went back a few days later and June the owner took care of me and fixed my nails and did them the correct way. She made sure my nails were right before I left the salon. THANK YOU JUNE!!I had my nails done on 8/7. I have been coming to Happy Nails Boutique for about 2 years now. My most recent experience wasn’t a good experience. Unfortunately I am not happy with how my nails turned out. I am utterly disappointed and unhappy. It has ONLY 1 week since I have done my nails and my nails are falling apart. I normally get the dipping powder with tips put on. The top coat is cracking and peeling off and well as some of my nails chipped from the top. Even with me washing my hands so much this never happens. Some nails I even noticed are crooked. (I know for a fact my fingers aren’t crooked). I will be making a trip back either to get my money back or to have my nails RE DONE ✅ the CORRECT WAY!!

I got my nails done and paid $75 for a refill!!! The listed price was $50 and they charged me $75. Usually I pay $40 at other places for the same thing. That was the first and last time I went to that place. Would not recommend at all worst place ever!!

Review №17

Worst place i have ever been to, the lady has no fing idea how to remove a dip manicure. She filed the nail to its bed. When i asked how come they couldn’t soak up my nails after filing the top layer. They were rude enough to say that’s how its done, my nails are totally ruined and might take months to heal.

Ive gone to this place a couple of times now to see Mary. She is clean, friendly, and precise in her work. I always love how my dip manicures turn out! Its a cute, clean storefront with plenty of free parking. Im also a huge fan of their rewards card that gets stamped every time you finish a service. They provide an incentive once the card is full and always write down who did your nails and what color you chose just in case you need a touch up down the road. Great idea - always happy to go back!

Review №23

The best nail salon in the neighborhood for sure! Ive been coming here since the very first owner. Management had been changed 3 times and I have to say the current one is the most fun and friendly. Ive tried everyone and they are all great. The guys are sometimes too strong but I just let them know and its all good. Im not too picky about my nails so as long as they look good Im happy.

Review №24

I love this place! This is not your typical spa-like nail salon so dont expect the awkward silence like other salons in the city. Everyone is super fun and personal! They know your name, your stories, your family. Its like meeting your friends every 2 weeks. I even make some acquaintances here due to same nails schedule. The nail job is always decent to great. If you have any problems just let the front desk know and they will fix it right away. They always fix your no chip for free within 2 weeks, no question asked and no hassle, as long as you have your punch card to verify the date. Now this you dont see everyday at every salon. I will never go anywhere else because I know people here will always take care of me, one way or another.P.S. Another perk when you come here is that they have FREE parking since the salon is in a huge plaza with restaurants and grocery store.

Review №26

I decided to treat myself to a pedicure & dip manicure and decided to come here off my roommates recommendation & was disappointed. I felt that my pedicure was rushed and therefore not up to the quality that I’m used to. I’ve gotten dip for sometime now & ive never gotten such bad cracks in my nails within a week of getting them. Also when getting my nails done she only filed one hand and the dip has chips on it along with not even application. Overall just very disappointed in the nails I paid for.

This salon is so consistent and quality! The staff is experienced, fast, and always friendly. Ive been with the owner for 5 years, and throughout my 15 years of religious nail appointments, Ive never experienced the consistent level of service they provide...my cuticle line is always amazing. They always know the newest nail art trends, the no-chip manicures last for 3-4 weeks, they have so many color choices, my nails are healthy and on point always. The same low price point you can get anywhere but an awesome experience that can be hard to find in a saturated market. Just go!

I have been going to Happy Nails for years and this is the only salon I trust to do my nails. Every technician is great and I would highly recommend Happy Nails to anyone. I always get a no chip mani and my nails never chip. High quality work and great staff!

Ive gone to Happy Nails twice now, all of the staff are very friendly and they do a great job on my nails, theyre very thorough and actually take the time to make sure the shape/length/polish is all perfect. On my 2nd visit they remembered me from my 1st visit and made me feel very welcome. Will continue to return to Happy Nails for all my fills/nail needs!

Recently moved to a new location about 3 stores down. There were no respect when I walked in I was having a conversation and got interrupted by a high tone voice of a female who was basically yelling and seem she’s “in charge” she was beyond disrespectful and have no home training. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you want to be profiled and disrespected by that disgusting “woman”.

Review №33

Terrible service, Mary who did my nails use a soaking wet towel on my legs that she wrung out in a sink, i only tipped 4$ that’s how bad the service was. My nails were too wide at the end like fan nails and she barely scrubbed my feet because she was watching Television. Mind I traveled 45-55 mins just to go here. Not coming back

Luckily Happy Nails had availability at 5 to get my roommate and I in for a no chip Mani and regular pedi. Im so glad we came here. The staff were all very friendly, and Amy did an incredible job on my nails. Especially since I had broken two of them. I can definitely say Ill be back!

Review №35

Pedicure was decent, although super quick on the massage. Powder dip nails I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend. She filed my nails down until they were half the length I asked for them to be. I just got my nails done yesterday and they are cracking on the surface of my entire right hand. I am extremely disappointed. The staff seems minimally trained on how to do dip powder. I have been getting dip powder for over two years straight (just moved to the area from Atlanta, Ga) and never had this happen to my nails.

Denise is the best!! Every time her work is amazing. She has helped me grow out my nails so I can have a perfect almond shaped manicure. She has also helped me choose a color each time since I’m so indecisive and it’s always perfect!

Review №37

I am doubting this salon is not hygiene enough. The lady used a used nail file to file my nails, then I requested a new one. And she went to the counter to get a new one for me. I m not sure used nail file can be reused again for other customer. I will not return to this shop anymore. in addition, at the beginning, the lady asked me to put my hand into a bowl of water. That water is cold and kind of dirty. I am highly disappointed with myself of not asking her to change the water for me. The unpleasant experience makes me scared of going to the nail Salon again. So disgusting.

I have been going to happy nails for almost 3 years and couldn’t be happier with my nails. I go to tech Denise who is crazy good but all of the techs pay attention to details and do high quality work. June and Rebecca are also super talented and skilled techs. The hospitality matches the quality of the service too, as June and Rebecca have created such a warm and welcoming environment. I never have to wait and they use the best products. I do not think I will ever go anywhere else. Ps - I have long natural nails, so my nails are not easy to do and take a long time. Despite this, I have never left unhappy, ever. Happy Nails is kind of the best!!

Review №41

Service is mediocre. The woman sitting nearest to the register (the one who seems to be in charge) is boarder line rude and unwelcoming with the tone of her voice. She sent me to what seemed to be a newbie nail tech who was on her phone watching a Facebook live while doing my nails. Her name was Mary, she took her time which I appreciate but did her own thing to my nails. I don’t fault her for trying because everyone has to start somewhere. But It’s a little disturbing when the nail tech has their child there throwing a tantrum and she’s trying to work on your nails. Mary still has to learn a little more to learn with shaping but if you point her in the right direction she will get it the best she can. She worked with my nails the best she could and made them look cute. Let’s see how long it lasts. Like I said I don’t fault her.Also another woman there was giving another tech doing her Dip powder nails the side eye, soooo I’m assuming she wasn’t too pleased lol!

Ive been a happy and devoted customer of Happy Nails for several years - even after moving neighborhoods, I only schedule mani/pedis at times when I can drive to Happy Nails! Im super particular about my nails and Ive always had great experiences here. The nail techs listen to what I ask for, give advice when I need recommendations and are really friendly. While I mostly get regular manicures, Ive also had both gel and dip manis and Ive always been really happy with the final result!Supporting small business is often personal, so Im happy to support the nail techs and especially the owner, June! June is awesome. She not only does everything she can to please all her customers but she stands behind her employees and their work - I think that can be a hard balance in retail/customer service and she nails it. She is personable and treats all her customers with equal respect and attention. June has gone above and beyond two separate occasions to make sure Im totally satisfied with my nails: 1, staying after hours to fix a dip manicure I wasnt happy with and 2, coming in on a rare day they closed the salon for a holiday just to honor an appointment I made before leaving the country. Neither were necessary actions but so greatly appreciated.Highly recommend!

Always make an appointment. Unless youre already next door, call to make sure that they have an opening- especially on the weekend! Ive seen so many people walk in who dont have an appointment, only to walk out a minute later because Happy Nails is booked.Thank goodness Happy Nails is in the same parking lot as a strip mall with free parking. It saves you money and hassle from having to find street parking in the city.Ive been to Happy Nails several times over the years and each time I visit, the place is clean and busy. I love that they decorate for holidays. My favorite was for a Christmas a couple years ago, they even gave little green tea lotions to customers.My mom is very picky and comes here religiously. Her favorite nail technician is Mary.I forgot the name of the technician that did my nails, so I called to ask and June said it was most likely Amy or Rebecca. Sorry that I dont remember exactly, but you should be safe with either of these people since other yelpers have complimented them as well. My nail tech did a great job painting the whole nail. Its my pet peeve when the side of the nail is not fully painted. I also wanted a design last minute and she was very flexible. I was going to just get a design on my thumbs, which was $5, but my sister convinced me to get it all my fingers for five more dollars.Make sure to get a punch card to get rewards. If you forget your old one, they will give you another and can combine your cards later. Bring cash to tip or pay in all cash and get an extra punch!Im writing this review 7 days after my visit and my regular manicure is still in great condition without any chips. Same goes for my pedicure, but we all know that pedicures last longer. Thanks Happy Nails!
