I've been going to them for over a year now and every time I go I take 1-2 others with me. We are Always satisfied. I went there today with my granddaughter and I was waited on by Yen, my girl, and she had Karen. They both did an amazing job. I highly recommend this place for nails and toes. I know a lot of the ladies and they know me by name. I live in Fallbrook now but I will travel back to Oceanside just to get my nails done by Yen. read more

Absolute worst salon visit ever. My friend and I went in to get our gel removed about 3 weeks after we had it done here. While that first visit was ok, we decided to come back to get it removed with no gel or polish as we like to take breaks in between. When we said we just want gel removal, the pressure was on to get another gel. We kept saying no and then they said we could get just get regular nail polish. We said no again. That's when the mood changed. Almost angry we didn't want another manicure. We should've just walked out as I had a feeling the service was going to be less than great. I had no idea I would be "punished" for not getting another manicure. This is was the absolute WORST gel removal of all time! My nails are so bad, thin, shelling, breaking daily! I have to keep cutting them to avoid breakage. This is worse than had we taken the gel off ourselves! AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

Everytime I leave here something is wrong. Holly and Tara are great. Would not recommend Rose. Front desk and rose also said samples will look different on ur nail. So if u like a pretty color and want it to look like sample - Especially if it has glitter - It won't look like it. Not creative or helpful at least rose and the lady at front desk Would not recommend unless with Tara or holly Nails are expensive and take rime out of ur day it matters to have a good experience and a color u like read more

Got a pedicure and gel manicure here on a Saturday and by Monday, my toenails were already chipping and by Wednesday the gel on my nails was already peeling off. Not to mention my cuticles did not get trimmed very well. At other salons, my pedicure lasts up to 4 weeks with no chipping and a gel manicure lasts at least 2 weeks before beginning to peel. Very disappointing to pay over $80 and have polish coming off within a matter of days. Won't be back. read more

I had no appointment and just walked in for manicure and pedicure no gel as the gel made a mess with my nails. The lady that did my toes was very gentle and thorough. The lady was quiet but both the ladies who did my mani / pedi talked the whole time they were doing my nails. There is no water offer at this place. The materials used are clean and new. The vibe is okay. Not welcoming but not rude either just like any other nail salon. read more

Best customer service from Adam, table #5! I will only be returning to this location because of him. He deserves more recognition, a bonus and promotion for providing excellent customer service and quality service! I am providing 4 stars only because although Adam was amazing, he had to step out which I was totally understanding of! But having been left with the rest of his team , they made me feel a bit rushed out the door. The gentlemen who was left to finish my nails, placed a clear polish on top and I asked if it was necessary to dry he said no but in my experience most workers would allow me too. He said I was done, so by that point I made my way out. Therefore I highly recommend Adam and hope his team learns from his leadership! Also Adam left before I could give him my cash tip, so I'm hoping he sees this and is aware I left his tip in his table. Thank you Adam table #5. read more

I wanted to get my nails done for a retirement party. I rarely ever get my nails done, maybe once or twice a year, so it was a big deal. The girl was already being rough with pushing down my cuticles. It was hurting even before she cut me. She hurt me a couple times more before I finally just got up and left. Didn't even make it past the third finger. Now I'm not getting my nails done for the special occasion because my cuticles on one hand are damaged and sore and I don't want to risk an infection. Absolutely unacceptable. I've never walked out of a nail appt. I am so upset. Also, she was checking her phone during the appt.... It was a mess. read more

Vibe was good, parking is plentiful. Price is affordable (~$40ish for gel, no removal) I wasn't too impressed with the service though. The girl who did my nails was very Sh t. She asked me what I wanted, and I told her that I wanted something almond shaped and showed her a picture of my exact nails from previous. She then went ahead and cut my nails and shaped them in around shape versus an almond. And also a lot shorter than I had requested. After I told her, I wanted an almond again, after she did two of my nails, and she said it was too late because it was already too short... I just asked her if she could do the other nails in almond shape instead. ‍ Also, I have never had my gel nails start to come off before. The edges started to lift a bit only 4 days after I got them done!!! I don't know if it was not cared enough, if there were too many layers, I'm not a nail professional... But this has never happened to me before. Likely will not be coming back here again , at least anytime soon. Hopefully if I come back, I will have a better experience with a different person. read more

I came in around 10:40am today as a walk in and told the receptionist I only had about two hours and I wanted to see what we could manage in that timeframe. Receptionist asked me between manicure and pedicure which one was most important to get done today if they didn't have time for both which I really appreciated. Knowing I'd at least get some of what I needed done and that they were prioritizing me as a walk-in was really thoughtful. Helen did my pedicure and I didn't catch the manicurists name but they were both wonderful. There was a small bubble on a thumb nail I pointed out when my manicure was done and they fixed it quickly without complaint and apologized. There was music playing which was calming and a silent movie with subtitles that kept my adhd happy while I was there. All in all 10/10 experience. read more

I really wanted to love this place, based on the reviews, but unfortunately I am not a happy customer. The French gel manicure I got was fine, but my nails were already chipping within one week. Gel nails are supposed to last for 2 weeks or more. One thing I noticed is that they like to leave the bottom of your nail unpainted so that they look grown out faster. Too bad for them I can do my own nails. Better luck next time. I asked for a French gel pedicure, and I was refused, saying my toenails are too short. I've had dozens of other salons do them with my nails even shorter. The paint job I got instead was sloppy. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with 2 stars, because I came at a busy time. But this quality is unacceptable, period. read more

Happiest Nails & Spa was such a nice experience! My mom and I enjoyed pedicures and eyebrow services, and the complimentary drinks--champagne, wine, or green tea--were a thoughtful touch. The staff were friendly and professional, and the salon was clean and relaxing. My feet felt amazing, and the light pink polish they suggested was perfect for my cousin's wedding events. I'd definitely come back! read more

They took my credit card and charged $19 for a tip when I had already tipped in cash. They didn't even give me a receipt and I didn't sign for it. They just charged me. When I approached them about it they took my number and said the manager would call me about it. They never called. So I was robbed. Don't go here. read more

Had been coming here for several months and was very happy...then came in for a manicure (remove dip and get gel) and a basic pedicure. The pedicure was going fine then my manicure started...instead of applying acetone to remove the dip she began chipping and pulling off the polish. It was ripping off which was painful and then I asked what she was doing. She then applied the acetone and wrapped the remaining nails. The gel lasted 2 days and my nails began breaking and splitting which has never happened before. After 5 days five of my nails looked like garbage. So disappointed. read more

I have been to Happiest Nails a handful of times now. Each time has been a great experience. They have many nail technicians working and it is clean and comfortable experience. They play music and also have a tv in the background. It's also easy to call a get an appointment within the same day. I will keep recommending this location!! read more

LOVE how my nails came out. LOVE how the place is decorated. and LOVE how well they pay attention to detail. The worker there even gave me tips on how to take care of my nails and answered any questions I had. Only thing I'll say is that this place prefers cash tip rather than tip on a receipt so remember that before going in but they'll take regular tip on receipt if you don't have cash. I will be coming here again for sure!! read more

We have been coming here off and on fir two years. We make appointments and their never ready when we get there. The ladies can be rude and the last tech didn't even rub one leg with the hot stone. Just did one leg! They left my daughter and I in the chair and never helped us get our shoes on. My daughter had the toe dividers in for 20 minutes and finally took it off and put her shoes on. She theb had to ask for her fill. They completely forgot she needed a fill. Then the prices are crazy. My $42 pedicure turned into $62 because of gel polish?! My daughter has a chip already after 24 hours Dont go there. read more

I was in town visiting my son and researched nail salons and decided on trying this salon! I came in as a walk in and they were pretty busy. I was greeted in a friendly manner and asked if I could return in 1 hour. Since they are located in a well occupied shopping center, it was easy to walk to the thrift store a few doors down to browse around and kill time. Btw-lots of great finds at the thrift store also! The young lady who did my nails was kind and did my nails exactly as what I requested. read more

This is the last time I give this place a shot. The people aren't that welcoming and the multiple times I've come here the color doesn't match the sample. They assure you that it will after multiple coats but it doesn't and they give attitude if you want to change it. Plus, I've asked for almond shape nails and they just make them round. You can get better service at plenty of other spots in town. read more

This place is a fiasco if you want Gel-X Nails. First I went to a lady named Ruby. I asked for long stiletto-shaped gel-x nails. She brought almond shaped ones and when I brought it up, she said they didn't have stiletto shaped extensions and that she would file the almond ones to look stiletto. But then she got upset and raised her voice at me because I kept asking her to file them to the correct shape even though it wasn't my fault they didn't have the right shaped nail to begin with. That's the whole point of Gel X tips. They're already come pretty much the right shape you want them to be. We mutually decided I would try a different nail tech next time. The next time I went in for a gel-x set I got a lady by the name of Yen. This time I asked for coffin shaped gel-x nails, hoping to avoid the same fiasco as last time and knowing stiletto nails were off the table. Yen put on long square shaped nails that are much longer than coffin shaped nails. When I pointed this out, she swore she was using long coffin shaped nails even though I knew they weren't the right ones. The nails Yen put on started popping off like chiclets a week later. I had to go in for a repair to put one nail back on and this time Holly helped me. Holly was finally the person who put the right shape on - long, coffin shaped Gel X. Sitting next to my other nails it was clear Yen had put on the wrong shape to begin with. A few days later a few more of the nails Yen put on popped off. I have never had the experience of my Gel X coming off the way it did here. Each time I paid $100-120 for a new set of Gel X nails + gratuity. Today I paid another $25 + gratuity to have them removed so I could just be done with this place. read more

I moved to Oceanside about 4 months ago and have been STRUGGLING to find a new salon... My place in SD was hard to beat - but I think I finally found my new place! This was the 6th salon I've tried in the 92054 area?? I was a walk-in the first time, and wasn't thrilled with my technician. She was rushed, not friendly, and clipped a cuticle. Yikes. BUT - I liked the salon itself. Lots of colors, larger establishment, good chairs, clean and modern, good prices. So I read a bunch of reviews and picked Kay for my pedicure and next visit ~~ She is amazing. Gentle, but very thorough, massage is great and she pays attention to detail. I'm in love! I've been back to her twice now and I am very very happy! She doesn't know it, but, I'm all hers : ) Please give this place a try and please ask for Kay! I haven't had my nails done here yet, so I will come back and update my review when I do. read more

Went to get a fill. They had me wait a hour then told me there staff wasn't confidential enough to do my nails..

Awesome customer service. Attention to details, comfortable and sanitary place. They did a nice job and I'll be a returning customer.

I don't usually have mail but I got them for a few months when I had a lot of US and international travel. Each nail tech I had was able to accommodate my specific nail art requests! Each time I was so pleased with the detail of the art. If I was going to do nails I was going to be a tad extra! Cash is best here if you can! Everyone is so nice! read more

Yes! I have returned! Hello 2023! So I broke my foot in October so I haven't had the opportunity to come get my pedicure because it was in a cast & boot up until last week. So, made my appointment with Vicky per usual, & it was still amazing thanks to her! Always request Vicky she is so kind and tries always her best to make things right. She is amazing. Today though it was unfortunate because they stopped treating and removing ingrown nails. They had signs posted everywhere. Look at recent updated picture. But Vicky did what she could to make my toes feel comfortable though without removing them. This is unfortunate because I get them constantly... and not a lot of places treat or remove them anymore. Though I understand why, this was sad to see because that was one of my favorite things about this place. Overall though, it was a great experience as always, and it was nice to see they did some updating with their lighting and fixtures. Just sad to learn about the ingrown nails. read more
