Christina was my nail tech and she was very pleasant, took her time, and did an excellent job on my powder dip nails. The only issue is a couple of the diamonds on my nails fell off only after a couple days, but I will definitely go back to see her. She was very grateful for me and continuously thanked me for coming.My only issue with the company is they don’t have the powders painted on fake nails to help choose a color. They have tons of colors but you have to look at the wall and open each one to see what you would like. The people in charge were very grateful and showed me gratitude all throughout my visit.

I have been coming here for over 7 years and I cannot thank Hannah enough for always doing an amazing job! She has a very good eye and always makes sure my nails look straight 👌 another amazing person that works there is Kim shes takes good care of me whenever Hannah is not around. These 2 ladies are the best!! I love them so much 💓

Walked in because we were in town and needed to get our nails and toes done for an event and they were happy to take us in. Staff was very friendly and attentive to our toes and nails. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get their mani/pedi for reasonable prices and friendly staff!

My nail lady was very professional and took her time to make sure my gel manicure was perfect! She was thorough and efficient and also gave the best hand/forearm massage after! Highly recommend!!

I was on vacation, in San Diego and my no-chip polish fell right off my big toe. In a state of emergency I came here to get the ONE toe fixed. The ladies working were all very rude. I came in and stood there for a few minutes and nobody said anything! When someone finally did ask what I needed, they acted like they couldn’t speak any English or understand what I was asking, when in reality they were lazy and didn’t want to do the work. Then one lady told me I would have to pay for a FULL PRICE PEDICURE to fix ONE TOE! Very unprofessional, very rude. I absolutely did not get the service and I wouldn’t recommend anyone from out of town, or in town for that matter, to go here.

The lovely ladies are very kind and gentle. They make sure you are happy with the service they are providing.

Christina did my dip nails, I am so in love, thank you 😊

Julia did an amazing job on my nails! She was very sweet and helped me choose a color that compliments my skin tone beautifully! Thank you! Also Kathy was great with my pedicure, very gentle and such a nice demeanor. Will be coming back again

Very nice place, open late on Sunday, and give quality work. I will definitely be back.

Came here while waiting for a friend to finish their errands and let me tell you it wasn’t the best idea. Here is my biggest issue with this location: They removed my old gel polish with a grinding tool (big no no) and made my nails ungodly thin (so much so that they hurt and you can see the blood vessels). My new nails are growing in but the thinner parts won’t grow out longer than a 1/2 cm before they break off completely.Even though I voiced my frustrations the manager didn’t seem to care all too much. I don’t usually come to this mall location but one thing is certain: I won’t be coming back to Happy Nails.

I got a gel manicure with Kathy. I LOVE my nails! She did a French manicure for me and made the white line nice and thin like I like. She filed my nails perfectly. I like a square shape with rounded edges and she made them perfect, all even too. Very happy with my nails, thank you Kathy!

It was fine, I got my nails done quickly before a wedding the next day. The other customers were rude and annoying to the nail techs here.Friendly recommendation: disinfect and wipe down each chair in between customers

Got a pedi for me and my husband. Very nice clean and personal

Vantastic job!it was very welcoming. my friend and I got a mani pedi set with an added Deluxe scrub and it didnt feel rushed what so ever, theyre Careful and precise with painting, and our feet were baby smooth! HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Fast service without appointment. Loved the way the left my wifes nails.

They charge you for a really high price for low cheap quality nails I met 16 year olds who do way better. They charge you based off of there head. Don’t go here expecting to get the ones you want because they’ll charge you for how they want to do you nails not your liking. Try to charge me 80$ for a nail set for only ombré. No nail designs or nothing something h simple and wanted to charge me for poor quality nails. Last time I’ll go to this place.

Took my daughter and her 2 friends here for her 14th bday. They were very accommodating, very professional and the their work was very well done. We made an appointment a few days earlier, glad we did because they were busy(sat @1230p). Not sure about pricing compared to other places, but for the detail and quality, seemed to be inline with other places. Great Job ladies and thank you.Ps... it does get very hot and a bit muggy in there, dress appropriately!

The polish i got done started peeling instantly the night i left and 3 of my nails broke but i didnt have acrylic on them, because my ordinal nails are long enough💯but they charged $100 for a mani and pedi😭😭

Shaping of my toes were uneven and prices are too high for basic gel $60.

NEVER EVER GO HERE! HORRIBLE SERVICE. HORRIBLE QUALITY. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

They did a great job. All the staff were wearing masks. A few customers were wearing them under their noses.. but the staff did everything they could to make you feel safe. They make you sign a waiver when you come in but that’s the norm now.

Theyre great for pedi but the mani needs to be only simple for it to come out perfect

My daughter and I were shopping at Fashion Valley and came across this nail salon on our way out. We were so excited to get a Pedicure since it’s been so long since the Shutdown due to the Covid. The salon follows all the safe protocols and the service was relaxing and excellent. We will defy be back again next month. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I went in a little over 2 weeks ago to get my set of acrylics taken off, and the woman ripped every single one off. I asked before starting if there was another way, like to soak them off, which there TOTALLY is, and she told me no, this was incredibly painful! its been over 2 weeks and my nails are not even finished healing yet. The photo is of the most painful one, a chunk of my thumb nail that was ripped off that STILL hasnt grown back 2 weeks later. I will not go back here.12/16 - Tried to call the store as requested, staff said I dont know a bunch with nothing else to say, no manager available, and said they have no idea what a Google review means.

I absolutely loved my visit here and will be back in 2 weeks! Best my nails have looked in so long thank you again! One of the staff gave me the best pedicure I have ever had! He makes sure its completely clean and organized before he files or even puts polish on! Full on amazing service here!

Great service good people and cheap

They have great customer service and the price is great! I always come to happy nails when I want to get my mani or pedi!!!

A little pricey but the service was good. My friend & I got a relaxing spa pedicure.

Overpriced for sure but cool people

Emily is very sweet and very thorough. My gel manicure looked great and still does!

I love Happy Nails! It’s always been difficult to find a good nail place. I am never 100%satisfied when I leave most nail salons. But Happy Nails in Fashion Valley never lets me down. No matter who does my nails. Each staff member there is very professional and kind. Especially Hannah! She is definitely my go-to now. She takes her time and makes sure her customers are happy. I dont live in the area but the drive is definitely worth it!

Quick and exceptional service!

Waste of time and rude for no reason.

I have been here several times. They send me text messages with a 5% off. They work hard. I pay cash for service and tip.

Happy Nails is a great place to start your day! Mary and Eva were absolutely phenomenal! Great conversation, amazing detail and care in their work. Could have fallen asleep, I was so comfortable! The price is reasonable as well. Highly recommend, best in SD. Going there everytime from now on!

Very clean and sp relaxing

Always love them ...go to salon

So I was a walk-in and I didnt even wait that long. While waiting I was offered a bottle of water by a nice gentlemen in the front desk in which I thought was really nice. After about 15-20mins he walked me to my spa chair. I first have to say that the salon is CLEAN not just the spa area but the bathroom as well. That’s very important for me! I love that they were so patient and really listen to what I wanted for my nails and provided great customer service. The massage was also very nice and relaxing I didn’t feel rushed. They have a very nice collection of colors to pick from. Im only going to go to this nail salon in SD now and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nail salon to stay with.

My daughter and I had a great experience here at Happy nails. I took her out for girls day out for her birthday and the ladies at the shop took good care of her. Manicure pedicure and even can an arm massage. And the wait time was minimal for a Saturday afternoon.

You are better off elsewhere. No patienceAlways in a rush. Never listen to what I want or like. They clearly talk about you and it’s so obvious. Just go elsewhere

I love getting my nails done here. One of the staff does amazing nail designs on point. Always clean, on time and friendly services.

Emily and Christina are amazing!!! I will keep my standing appt every two weeks!!!

All of their nail services have lasted me a long time with no chip or breakage. I have gotten so many compliments on my SNS nails and I love them! Prices are fair and I am so happy that I have found a good nail salon. I would absolutely recommend Happy Nails to any of my friends or family.

Went in for a pedicure with gel polish last night. Place is clean and quiet even though they were busy. Products used were high quality. Everything was very clean. Prices are competitive for location. Kayla is the best! I love how she does my nails! My pedicure lasts almost a month when she does it! I will make this my new go to nail salon.

​When I walked in, the noise level was alright, just respectful workers asking customers what they needed today. The customer service was great. I got a pedicure and the nail technician was very attentive and precise to detail with the design I wanted. I’m glad I came to this place and I definitely recommend coming here!P. S. Their color selection for gel colors are colorful and arranged beautifully by color.

Great place to go. They always take care of you. Very friendly and professional. Its the only place my friends and I go to get our nails done.Great prices and good quality work! Definitely worth going to if you havent been.Super amazing place!!! Sweet staff and amazing and clean Facility. Highly recommend!

I went Happy Nails for the first time for a pedicure a months ago. Its a great working environment. Even if they are busy they greet everyone who walks in with a hello. I was so grossed out on top of the color, Very wonderful. My pedicure feel exciting as well as natural. So will definitely be coming back.

I will always go to Eva and Yuri, but honestly everyone is wonderful here! And today I took off my wedding set prior to getting my nails done. Upon completion, I couldn’t find my band. Another manicurist overheard, stepped away from her client and started to help look. Mind you this place was busy - Saturday at 1 pm. Thankfully it was found, and it happened to be the other manicurist, Kim, who found it. Thank you does not begin to express my gratitude. Please Go and visit for wonderful service and great people!

I was extremely pleased with my experience at their shop. My boyfriend and I loved our signature pedicures! For him, it was his first time ever receiving a pedicure so he was a little weary. The staff was VERY kind, and tended to our needs making his experience a pleasant one. For as busy as it was, the staff took their time, did not rush, and made it worth every penny spent! The facility was immaculate and very clean! For a person that religiously gets my nails done, I would highly recommend visiting here.

Conveniently located at Fashion Valley mall - nice modern and clean nail salon. I was taken in without an appt and both my manicure pedicure turned out beautifully. Nice work and service! I will be back

Very pleased with the service I received. Great prices & quality work! Will be a returning customer!

My first time here today and I love what did. She took her time and made sure it was done how I wanted. Shes VERY good at doing designs even if shes never done it before, shell take it on and do a great job. Love it, thank you again ! See you in a few weeks

I love this place! Its my new spot! The owner, Happy Nails is a sweetheart!! The whole staff is amazing and friendly and they do a fantastic job. Wonderful prices! Also, I left my wallet there, and forgot for a whole day and when I came back, they had it for me and everything was there. Like I said, my new spot!

I love that its inside Fashion Valley Mall. I dont know what these other people complain about but I loved it! So clean and friendly! Not your typical nail salon, has a modern touch to the place.Came in to get my nails done and was greeted by a nice gentleman in the front. The nail tech that did my nails was very sweet and my nails turned out great!Will definitely come back soon!!

The first time I went there the woman I had did an amazing job on my nails and they lasted me over a month. This time when I went I decided to bring my mom along to show her that they do a really good job and give you exactly what you want. That was not the case this time around. The woman she had didnt even give her the color she had picked out for her tips. The guy I had cut me and I asked him twice for something specific and yet I never received that. Not to mention Ive had these nails for two days and the nail polish is already coming off. Complete waste of $116.

My favorite nail salon I come here all the time with my mom and sister. Are you guys open during quarantine?

After recently moving to San Diego, I couldnt find anywhere to get a decent manicure or pedicure.I checked out Happy Nails based on reviews- I was NOT disappointed. Friendly, professional staff. The atmosphere is great. Very relaxing and clean.The staff here understands what the customer needs and they always respond well.The young woman did my pedicure, and she did an excellent job! She brought sanitized tools to my station, was gentle with my feet, and we even had a nice conversation while she worked. Its very excitingI wont go anywhere else! This place will the best forever to me, which I appreciate !..

I am new to the area & had an hour to kill before going to work. I found perfect nails by chance after a few phone calls & short drive. It was a great experience and my nails look awesome. They were friendly, professional & exactly what I was looking for. Perfect treat! I definitely will return.

I stopped in as a walk-in and was immediately put in a chair to get a fill. The last two places I went to to get my nails done, I was not happy. I wish I knew the name of the girl who did my nails because she was excellent. Patient, great attention to detail, friendly, and told me to come back in two weeks so she can finish fixing the mistakes of two other salons in the area. I will definitely come back. It was a nice salon, clean, friendly staff, with reasonable prices.

So friendly and accommodating and clean. On your second visit you receive your own box with brand new files ect. Mindy did a great job on my pedicure, eye brow waxing and Hannah did a great job on my manicure! This going to be my regular nail place. So far, I highly recommend.

As I am an athletic person, I tend to get a lot of calluses on my feet. I just ran a little more than 10 miles and my feet tend to get bruised easily, so my cousin recommended me Happy Nails. The location was close to my home and is very convenient. The customer service was great, many workers greeted me and the receptionist asked how my day was. I got a massage, which felt like heaven. This salon will not disappoint you.

A woman pushed me out of the chair while I was getting my eyebrows done. (Maybe the lady was scared of tattoos or just trans people) Very rude service. In search for another place to get my eyebrows done.

Great place they do an excellent job and there is no hidden costs!! Always nice and amazing.

One of the best experiences ever! Everyone was nice and relaxed. I have never had a manicure before, but being a plumber, my hands needed some attention. My hands havent felt or looked this good in years!

I love the variety of nail colors and the location is perfect! Ask for Tom, Hes awesome!!He always does my nails perfect that last up to a month or month and a half. Ive been coming to get my nails with him for about 4 years. Is a must for me to see him at least once a month. He always listens to me what I ask him to do form me. He is always really nice with me and treats me with respect.

I went there for the first time this morning and absolutely LOVED IT!The girls were super nice and the service was great. They also used top notch products that made my hand smell and look so good.It is my new favorite spot now!

Ive been to this place a number of times now. Im always happy with my nails. Today I got a pedicure and couldnt be happier. Plus everyone there is so friendly, and when I bring my 3 year old in with me they treat her like a little princess.

This place is worth every penny. They are so friendly and they keep everything extra clean. My nails also lasted longer then any other shops I have ever been to.

After so long not doing my Nails I decided to go here before work . They accepted me walk in and Tom did the best job. He provided the best atmosphere and my full set was so nicely done. Would definitely schedule again with Tom. Hes so professional and focused!

I am very particular about my nails and when I found Kim at Happy Nails, I wont go to anyone else. She always does an excellent job, exactly the way I want it. Reasonable prices, but typically busy so make an appointment with Kim. Tell her Michele referred you!

No matter who does your acrylics they will always shape them perfectly. The salon is super clean, quiet, and peaceful! I give them 5 stars for quality. Ill be back the next time Im in town

I love Happy Nails! I moved here from out of state and I was worried about finding an awesome salon and nail tech...and BEHOLD....I found both in one place. Everyone is so sweet and professional, and the salon is so clean and sanitary! I love it...Im now a VERY loyal customer.

I have been looking for a new nail place for months and finally I think I may have found one. I like to go a couple of times before making a review but lets just say it was the best pedicure Ive had in a very long time. The atmosphere was amazing and exactly what I am looking for. I will definitely be back!

Happy Nails is the BEST place to get your nails done! I highly recommend going there! They always make your nails beautiful and they can do any design or shape that you want. They each take their time to make sure your nails are perfect in shape and color!!!

This was my first visit to this place! I absolutely LOVE this gel manicure. I had the manicurist Kim and she was extremely professional and precise. She really took her time and made sure I was satisfied with the color and shape. On top of that, she massaged my arms for almost 10 minutes!

The staff is very friendly and treat me well.Not just the doing the service but the whole staff.

I’ve been going to Happy Nails for nearly 15 years and haven’t gone anywhere else. My mom and I both love going to Tom, he’s our resident nail expert. He does such an amazing job that we readily recommend the Fashion Valley location and Tom all the time. He’s definitely our favorite :)

I’ve been going to Happy Nails for over a year now and I absolutely love Tammy! I happened to get her the first time I went there and she is the only one I go to. So although I can’t speak for the rest of the staff, I can say if you go to Tammy you will not be disappointed!! She is the best!

Just okay. The rush job done on my nails (both, fingers and toes) was less than good.... it was too pricey for them not to give excellent job. I had to return two days later as my big toe, and my index were both chipping! And I got an no chip on my fingers 🤨 Overall, I was not happy.

Very awesome and amazing staff and Tom has been taking care of my wife for 6 years and he is just great. I would recommend Happy Nails to anyone

This place is pricey. But in all honesty, I feel like you get what you pay for. I come here pretty often & have always had a great experience. Kathy is great!! She is very professional and she knows how to make you feel as comfortable as possible during the service. She almost makes you forget about the pain.

I really loved my pedicure that I received here tonight. My nail tech, Hannah, was very good and attentive. She didnt rush and made sure my pedicure was just right before I left. I am here attending a convention for work and if I ever come back to San Diego, I know where I can go to get an excellent pedicure.

Simon is amazing! First time getting Happy Nails & Im in love... I was so happy they got to see me on short notice.

My nail tech Christina was pleasant and attentive. I am visiting from out of state and its always a bonus to find someone who can help me.

Nice staff very clean and does amazing nail job. I will be back and highly recommended to all friends and family.

I went today for the first time. The man at the front counter was very friendly. It looked busy but I was seated within 5 minutes. I had a spa pedicure and a gel manicure. Both girls working on me were friendly and did a great job. The massaging chair was a nice treat and i was offered a water bottle. The facility was clean and welcoming. I definetly recommend it.

Quick and convenient. eva is great. i’ve had a few of the ladies of happy nails help me and they’ve all been lovely. always so accommodating!

1st time there. Will be going back. Great pedicure

This place has amazing service! They are very professional, very nice and their work is very high quality! Every time I get my nails done here it looks perfect amd literally lasts for WEEKS, with no chips or anything! I go out of my way to come here because Ive been to a lot of nail salons in San Diego to find the best and this is the best!

I love it here! Thanks for taking such good care of my nails. Go try the salon itss clean and they all do exellent work

I’m not recommend anyone to go to this place really the worst place ever

I love going to this place because they’re so attentive and clean. I also love the way they shape and paint my nails. They always do such a good job which always keeps me coming back.

I really hate writing bad reviews, in fact this is my first one ever. But Im hoping to save someone else the humiliation and pain of coming here for a wax. I had a last minute Brazilian wax opportunity here and took it. First, the lady looked very put out to have to do it. The wax was the worst I have ever experienced. She literally ripped wax in the same spot 7 to 8 times each. Very painful each time because of the cheap wax. Mid wax she decided to open the door to chat with another lady while Im lying there in my full glory. She starts to painfully wax again and then decides to move this big clangy machine on wheels out the door that swings fully open. STILL in my full glory, cant even be bothered to put a towel over me. She never apologize or said anything but continued to wax as if she were irritated with me. Im sure they do fine at their nail business, but stick to a professional waxing salon when it comes to this.

Love this place! Very clean and sanitary, great atmosphere and super sweet staff. They do an amazing job every time. Definitely recommend!

I just wanted to say how much Im gratified by the over the top customer service the staff offered to me. My technician did a great job on my nails and I was in/out in about 50 mins. Very relaxing and it a great centralized location. I am forever loyal to this place.

I live less than a mile away and Ive seen this place throughout the years but was reluctant to stop by. After two unsuccessful attempts at getting my nails done at Classic Nail Salon (which I also like, dont get me wrong), I decided to visit Happy Nail since its up the street. They were literally about to close (like 2 minutes) and they welcomed me in. Ive never been offered a beverage at a nail salon, so I really appreciated that.Aside from the great customer service, the place is very clean and smells like it too. Cindy was my nail technician she paid so much attention to my nails, constantly inspecting, even though it was a simple gel fill.Another thing, they are flexible with appointments. They even squeeze you in on days/times that dont fall within their regular business hours, if you really need to.I look forward to coming back again.

Best experience by far in a long while a bit over price from other places though it’s $35-38 for a manicure and gel should be included without charging for a manicure on top of the gel color ?with no hand massage ??If it were $20 -25 I would come more often . Times are getting costly but the nice nail tech was sweet and worth the appt I had a special event the next day love how they are open later and in the mall :) a plus

Terrible customer service and not worth the money. I could have done them at home better. They rushed both my mom and I through without caring about making mistakes. I had Tammy the nail tech, and she was distracted the entire time. My cuticles look awful and were “cleaned up” but now look worse. And then they didn’t even have a dryer or quick drying drops for us after and just told us to be careful. Do not waste your time here.

The staff are so nice!! Great service! Needed a mani for an event coming up and now my nails are getting endless compliments. So far they havent chipped either!

This is my go-to nail salon in San Diego. The staff is always very friendly, and you never have to wait too long, even when they are busy. The salon is very clean, and they offer a free beverage while you get your nails done
