Great nail salon! So convenient if you live in the Dripping Springs surrounding area. My nails are always done to perfection! They take appointments or walk ins. Recommend!! read more

I was a walk in, I have been there before but it's been a while since then. Helped immediately, I was pleased with the progress and I loved the finish. The only critique is after dip please check the underside for roughness. All in all I will come back. read more

First time at Happy Nails and it did not disappoint! Lana was so kind and welcoming, and she did my pedicure with great attention to detail. My nails turned out beautiful! I'll definitely be back. read more

Regina and I have gone to 3 different nail businesses in the past several years. This one is our favorite. The environment is great. The staff are friendly and very good. They pay close attention and do great work. read more

I was paired with Mindy today and pretty clear about what I wanted with my nails today, which was a white nail with a gold tip. I think the language barrier here is pretty tough, and I even questioned her a couple of times in the beginning to make sure she understood what I wanted. She didn't even let me pick from the nail colors that they usually offer, she just said I'm gonna do them how I think you want them. I was very skeptical, because what I wound up with is a natural nail with a copper orange glitter tip. My nails are so damn tacky and I don't have time to redo them before vacation. I have been coming here for several months, and never had an issue with the other nail techs. I usually see Jack and another lady who have done beautiful nails. However, Mindy is not capable of understanding what I wanted. She never once asked me if I liked them or anything, and when I told her that's not what I asked for, she did not offer to redo them at all because she had another client waiting. And she was rather pissed off with me for not liking them, which I thought was pretty rude. I am going to have to find a different nail salon, because this is just unacceptable. read more

Happy Nails And Spa - Definitely NOT the white nails with gold tips I asked for. Tacky and ugly! - Nail Salons Near Me - Austin, Texas

Friendly staff, reasonable prices. Good work. Can generally see you same day as a walk in.

Thank you Mindy! This was my first time coming to Happy Nail and I was very pleased. Mindy did a great job. I got SNS dip powder. The salon was also clean and smelled great. read more

I went to Happy Nails and had a very frustrating experience. We waited and waited, and no one ever updated us on how long the wait would be. They kept taking other people without communicating anything, and we never received service at all. It felt very unorganized and inconsiderate. If they had simply told us the wait time, we could have made a decision. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving without getting my nails done or my daughter very disappointing. read more

It was the first visit for me, and I was very pleased I did. Tracy was very sweet and talented. She did a perfect job

Language barrier is so hard, I know it first hand as I speak two languages. Do not fight me when I asked for a service and you give me a different one. Two $50 pedis and a nail buff for $150 is insanity. Shame on y'all for using the language barrier to steal money. read more

A solid spot with no frills for nails. Got pedicures with a friend and they did a perfectly decent job. Two of my toes a week later are scuffed-not normal for a regular pedicure for me, but maybe my own fault! I would go back if in the area and needing a pedicure. Everyone was courteous. read more

l just came to this salon for the first time and I can say it will be my last. First I'll start by saying they shouldn't assume that customers that come in don't understand or speak their language. With that being said they sit there and talk about every customer rudely and then make you feel bad about coming in to pay to have nails soaked off and color removed from your toes. This is a "paid service" they offer on the website but then you come in for it and it's like your shamed for coming in for it. it's not like I came in asking for it to be done for free, no I came in to pay for the service and then was going to set up for an appointment at the end of the month for new service once my nails had time to breathe. I will be looking for a different salon and would not recommend this place unless you want to feel uncomfortable. *and I'd like to note the reason I didn't go back to the salon I went to for the service is cause my sister's got it done for me when we were out of town. read more

I followed Amy from her previous salon. She recently opened and completely remodeled Happy Nails salon. It's beautiful with all new equipment. Her prices are very fair for excellent service. I highly recommend you give her salon a try and I am confident you will not regret it. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would, worse nail experience ever and I get my nails done a lot. I asked for the first picture below and got the second one and when they coudnt do the design, the tree looked like a 2 year old scribble it I asked her just to do all one color and she did I different blue. Also charged me 70$ for this set at most salons where they actually do good work it's 65$ for longer and better service and quality. I learned my lesson never go back!!!! Also the whole staff had an attitude the vibe was horrible read more

Happy Nails is a good place to have Pedicures and Manicures. Friendly services and nice place. I like Ann even she speak little English but she does nails very well. She takes her time and do good work. My stepson and his girlfriend recommended to ask for Ann for Pedicures and Manicures. We will come back to ask for Ann. Thank you Ann. Have a nice day. read more

this place is just so pricey, they also do take a while. i noticed they could be rude & with no patience, after checking out & paying i asked for a receipt & she didn't know how to give me one she had to call the owner & was so frustrated as if it was my fault she didn't know how to give customers their receipt. don't recommend this place. read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY 3/10 (generously given) NAILS 10/10 This is my second review for Happy Nails, and it's less cheerful than the first one. Make no mistake, Kim did a phenomenal job on my nails, but let's get into it. I knew it would be a busy week, so I called on Monday afternoon to make my appointment for today, Friday at 11:00am. I showed up at 10:51 seeing Kim just starting on a client. I picked out my color and at 11:00am I asked Kim, "Are you running behind today Kim?" She responded and told me to come back in an hour. If I didn't have two young children (one still breastfeeding) this wouldn't bother me as much because it was my first experience like this at Happy Nails. I reminded her that I made my appointment 4 days ago, and at 11:15am someone else wrapped my nails (I get SNS Dip). 11:45am rolls around and Kim finally starts on my nails. Nearly 1:00pm she finished and told me it would be $60.00. I said, "Why is it so much this time??" and she asked me, "What did you pay last time?" while she was laughing. I told her that the last TWO times it was only $50.00 - I had to get one tip put on my first experience here, my last visit I had two tips put on, and this time I had one tip put on. Her response? "$55.00 today then" I just shrugged, and gave her $60.00. I typically tip generously anyway, so I am used to spending $60, it's just a shame when it cuts into her tip. As I was walking out the door Kim wrote me a coupon for $5.00, so in my head I can't help but think that she knows she overcharged me?? Very weird. I will go back again, and make an appointment, and see what the experience and cost are like before I decide to continue to make Happy Nails my go-to. read more

Truly sad because from what I've gotten done on my nails the quality and talent is great within the staff but I never fail to leave FRUSTRATED BEYOND WORDS due to their lack of professionalism the staff attitudes are absolutely insane. I went to Happy Nails and Spa once and said "okay let me give them another chance" maybe it was a bad day. NOPEEEE today I'm leaving from what was supposed to be a relaxing time I'm spending money on to one of the most inappropriate interactions with a nail technician I have ever had. Truong the male nail technician handled my hands today as I was a f***ing rag DOLL throughout my entire manicure. I tried to ignore it but there was one instance where I was trying to simply look at the color of my nails and Truong yanked my finger to bend it towards his view so hard I had an impulsive shout of "please don't do that again" in the salon. I'm not even one to care about my nails this much to give a review. But this interaction was absolutely UNCALLED for. Save your coins and go elsewhere. read more

An excellent pedicure!! Done with great care and detail. I will definitely be back next time.

Went for a fill which ended up being $75 dollars plus a $10 tip. Less than a week the gems had come off and all the gel polish was chipping. Absolutely ridiculous what a rip off and crazy expensive. read more

What a great experience! The owner is amazingly kind and full of love for her clients. Tracy is one of my favorites, and I just got my nails done by Mindy. They look amazing! I will keep coming back! Thank you so much to all of the amazing staff here. read more

I love this place! I can usually get right in everyone is very nice. I love my pedicure when I'm done!

I love their whole salon and what always go above and beyond in providing the service. I am always complimented on my nails. Thanks Mindy for looking out for me and keeping me on trend read more

Happy Nails is a friendly, well-run place to get my nails looking beautiful. They did a great job!

Same review - just added more pictures to show the damage - do not go to happy nails if you want to be treated like a liar if your nails are damaged they will say it's your fault and not theirs. - replying to the owner...I have been doing my nails since the 90s- however, I haven't had dip, acrylic or gel in a VERY long time. I got dip three weeks ago from one of your other technicians and my nails were in perfect condition. So either that tech or this one damaged them. Don't worry, you won't need to refuse me service, I won't be back. read more

Tried this nail salon close to my new home after using the same nail salon in Houston for as long as I've been doing my nails. I was nervous but ended up being very pleased with how my nails turned out. Pricing was higher than i was used to paying. $110 for a refill on solar nails and a signature pedi. My technician Kim was amazing. My pedicure was nice too but water was not warm and when i asked for warmer it was scorching . I was not offered any water and waited a little for both techs even though i had appt. It was SUPER busy on a Sunday at 1pm so make sure you make an appt. You will probably still have to wait but you will feel more in control if you have one. Overall, nails will look nice but no pampering here. read more

I was in town for a wedding and needed my nails done Happy Nails took me right in and did a fantastic job on both my mani and my pedi!! If I lived here, I'd definitely come back read more

I came here for the first time cause it was the highest rated I saw in Dripping Springs. Was excited to take my fiancé cause he's just gotten out of the habit of biting his nails and was hoping they could pamper him and I and reshape his nails in particular. They ended up making his super short when he asked them to just reshape and now all the progress he's made to grow his nails has reset. With mine they also ended up making them way too short as well My ring finger in particular was made shorter than the nail bed and now uneven to the rest of my hand. They cut all of them below the tip of my nail. When I brought that up she was like "oh I'm adding a tip to them" when I never said I was doing so. The color SNS turned out nice but now my fingers feel weird cause they were all super short. As for my toes, she sadly messed up my left big toe by touching it while it was wet while trying to put their paper shoes on. Then to try to fix it did a rushed job hoping I wouldn't notice the rough tip. Over all I'm just really disappointed. If it had just been one of us that had our nails messed up I would have blamed it on the technician but it just seems like a regular practice to cut them to or below the nail bed even when asked to just reshape. Sadly we will not be returning and will go further into Austin to look for better nail service. read more

No wait. Friendly, professional service. Was able to sit back & relax!!! Loved my pedicure experience

They did a great job. A little pricey but well worth it. I will definitely come back here again. Great location close to home.

Horrible experience. I checked my bank and noticed that they charged me 50 dollars more than what I signed for. On top of that my gel toe nail color fell off in 24 hours and my fingers are crooked and not chrome at all. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

First time visiting Happy Nails and pleasantly surprised! My normal place was booked for Good Friday so decided to call Happy Nails and they were able to fit me in. I got there and they were so busy I could barely find parking. Fortunately they share a lot next next a Texaco gas station right across from Belterra entrance. The ladies were so nice and professional. I was surprised the lady who made my appointment remembered my name. She looked at me slowly said my Tony. Again, not expecting people to remember my name when they're extremely busy. Needless to say, I felt welcomed as a normal guy among so many women who they catered to. The manicurist, Dana, took extra care to thoroughly trim my cuticles, trim my nails very short and clean them. The same care and attention was given to my feet. The other place I go to normally doesn't prioritize cuticle care and nail shaping like this place. In all, Dana did a fantastic job, and I recommended the place to my wife who's more particular then me. Thanks again Dana! read more

Biggest pet peeve... not keeping the appointment time. I had to wait 30 minutes to be seated in spite of taking an appointment a week prior. I had to cancel one of my work meetings since the services would take longer than expected. I had a gel mani and signature pedicure done. The technician was friendly and did a decent job with the services. I wish she had been a little more careful with the gel polish since a few tiny bubble popped up over time that I can't get rid of. Feedback to the business - please change your towels. They may be clean but look really old and worn out. Also, please stick to the actual appointment time. read more

Jack does a great job and really cares. He's a great communicator and he loves people. It's truly evident

Mindy is awesome definitely will be coming back and I definitely recommend her. I'm from out of town. They took me in an appointment immediately. I was very pleased. read more

Great Experience! I had a horrible acrylic experience SOMEWHERE ELSE and had a broken nail under my nail and lots of pain in that finger. Once we communicated and they realized what was wrong Kim did an amazing job helping get the old nail off and put new, healthier ones on so it could heal. She was so gentle and understanding. I will be coming back here... and not getting acrylic ever again. read more

Horrible service, my lady didn't say a word to me and didn't let me pick out a color. I showed her a picture of the color I wanted and even gave her the name of the color and she still gave me nails that look nothing alike. She took forever on the application, making me believe she was new. She also made me bleed and laughed when she did. At checkout she told me my total was $70 when on the phone I was told it would be $60. She also held the receipt down for me when I was tipping which guilt tripped me to actually tip her. Don't recommend unless you get the guy who is very funny and nice. read more

Always available, always nice... Thank you. I was half an hour before they opened and they took me anyways, super nice. read more

I had my nails done at a different salon and my experience was not up to par. Considering the area I expected top notch! I came to Happy nails to see if they could live up to my standards. It's hard finding a new place when you've had the same nail tech for three years. THY did my pedicure and did an awesome job. The gentleman did my nails they look fabulous thank you Happy Nails for making me a happy and now regular customer to your salon. read more

I had a mani, pedi today and happen to get in right away (my first time there.). Kim, and my agents were remarkable. They listened to what I wanted and worked to get it done thoroughly. Good massage time, and they were very friendly and showed interest with making sure I was ok at all time. Good vibe, I will be back. EA read more
