When they explained the services they wanted, the staff seemed noticeably less interested once they realized there wasn't a pedicure included. They were told there would be a 20-minute wait. A short time later, another customer walked in and requested multiple services. She was taken immediately, while my mom and niece continued to wait. Whether intentional or not, it came across as rude and as though customers requesting smaller services were treated as less important. Unfortunately, it left a very negative impression.

Unprofessional Technique & Unacceptable Quality - Do Not Go Here…read more I had a terrible experience at Happy Nail on Sunday, August 30th. I paid $65 for three nail extensions and a basic one-color gel finish, which felt overpriced from the start--especially given the poor quality of work. The application process was full of red flags. The technician removed my previous set using only an e-file, applied a single thin layer of top coat, and glued down the tips while my natural nails were still visibly damp. As I feared, within just two days, the gel started lifting, trapping moisture underneath. Trapped moisture under nail enhancements is a huge safety hazard that can lead to bacterial or fungal infections. To make matters worse, I got these nails done specifically for an important job interview, but the pinky tip completely fell off in less than a week. I have been getting my nails done regularly for a long time, and I have never had a set fall apart this quickly. Unsafe, overpriced, and poor durability. This was my first and definitely my last time coming here. Save your money and go somewhere else.

So excited to see Darling Nails open a second location in Anaheim Hills. They are so wonderful and friendly at both shops. Cindee has been doing my nails for 10+ years now and my lashes for almost 3 years. Always wonderful to see family businesses thriving and expanding in our community. Best to CALL for an appointment instead of messaging. The reply isn't always guaranteed before your requested appointment time. read more

Very disappointed after being a customer of Happiness Nails for many years…read more For years, Happiness Nails gave customers stamps for paying cash, with the promise of earning free services after a certain number of visits. Because of that incentive, I repeatedly went out of my way to make sure I had cash with me when I came in. Paying cash is not normally my preference, but I made the extra effort specifically because of the rewards program they offered. I accumulated 16 stamps on my physical cards. More recently, they stopped giving stamps and told me that cash-paid services were being tracked in their computer system instead. I actually thought this was convenient because I wouldn't have to worry about keeping track of cards anymore. When I finally brought in my cards to redeem my rewards, I was told they no longer honor them. Their computer also showed 2 additional cash-paid services, meaning I had 16 physical stamps plus 2 additional qualifying services in their own system. At first, I was told that the old stamps had also been given for credit-card payments. That is absolutely not how the program was presented to me or how I earned my stamps. They were an incentive for paying cash. The employee at the front checked with the owners, or so he said. After years of patronage, 16 stamps, 2 additional cash services in their own system, and all the times I went out of my way to bring cash specifically to participate in their rewards program, their solution was a $5 discount. I never would have expected anything simply for being a longtime customer. But when a business offers a rewards program that influences how customers choose to pay, I do expect the business to honor the rewards those customers earned. That is what disappoints me most. I made the effort to uphold my end of their rewards program, but when it came time to redeem what I had accumulated, the business did not uphold what I understood to be its end. I have referred quite a few friends to Happiness Nails over the years. After this experience, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience with the people I referred. There are plenty of nail salons in the area, and another one will earn my business. Goodbye, Happiness Nails!
