Thought I would try Happy Nails since I live so close. Went in for a pedicure and left feeling less than happy. I received a nice looking pedicure from Mike (Mark?) and he was very kind. However, when I specified to him what I wanted (French tip but with off-white tips, not bright white), every worker came alive (they over heard my request) and started talking in their language to each other and laughing. This happened twice and made me very uncomfortable. I realize this happens in nail salons and I always find it to be rude, but this was excessive. The salon seemed chaotic and did not appear to be clean. Their pricing was weird, and expensive. I will not be back. read more

I thought I was going to make this place home but after today, Never again I been there four times now, normally Sherry or her husband would do my nails. The previous time I was there it seem like they rushed and Sherry husband choo my fingers up with his drill. I said I won't complain because Sherry design my nails so beautifully. Take in mind my bill was like 168.00 Something bout their prices puzzle me. There never the same and you always have to ask for a receipt because they won't give it unless you ask. Today I sat there and waited for almost a hour before they got to me. The girl doing my nails has to be in training. They kept coming over her watching her with my nails When she got done filling my nails she asked me what design? I show her she start speaking in her language. Their all speaking in there language to her. She tells me I give you yellow flowers? I'm telling her no, I want this design on my phone. Normally Sherry does whatever design I want. Their back speaking in their language. At this point I'm frustrated and say forget it. When she's done I'm looking at my nails the worst they ever look all the nails a different shape. I mean just horrible! She rings me up and it's 97.00 dollars, I ask what am I paying for cause she sure couldn't do a design? Worst my nails ever looked! The said thing is I tip every time I'm there. Lesson learned! I don't care what price they show you on that book some how when they ring you up, it's a bit much. I feel like they rush you and don't have enough staff.I didn't think I would have to spend Mother's Day with my nails messed up. For the high price you pay in there your nails should exactly what you want. I won't be going back there again I'll spend tomorrow at a different nail shop having them fix this mess! read more

I like the people here! Reasonably priced and experienced techs! I buy gift certificates for friends.

I came and wasn't welcomed. One lady and one man kept switching back and forth between me and my friend. The man kept fixing the lady's mistakes, and she even cut my finger. A few of my acrylic nails are crooked. read more

Happy Nails & Spa - Crooked acrylic nail:( - Nail Salons Near Me - Springfield, Illinois

Make sure you check the polish colors before they apply them! They will tell you they match...and even apply them even though they can clearly see they are different colors. Dip application was not done correctly...nails started chipping in a few days. Save yourself time and money...go elsewhere! read more

My friends and I had an appointment at 4:30 they got there on time and were sat down I was 20 minutes late by the time I got there they had only had their tips glued on I was immediately sat down my got mine glued on then we sat with the uncut tips on for over an hour as they got on their phones and or ate in front of us then between waiting for a tips to even be shaped three different people each cut my cuticle so by the time they were done they were bleeding! It took about two hours of me being there to even have acrylic touch my fingers remind you they were not busy at all. Then as me and one friend sat and waited they completely finished one of my friends set so she had to wait another hour for us to get ours. They finally start filing mine and they pushed the drill into my already bleeding cuticles to the point I was cringing then also shoved their ungloved sharp finger nail underneath mine that i was bleeding there as well . I'm also allergic to gel nail polish and i told them to use regular nail polish and they kept pushing to use gel until i sternly said its a chemical reaction to it curing i cannot use it. as they painted my nails i felt a strong burning sensation from the polish going into my cuticles. After my nails were finished they didn't oil my cuticles or even offer me any lotion. its the day after i got them done and my cuticle are extremely irritated. I am at work right now and putting my hand into the sanitizer or even just the dish soap makes my hands burn again. save yourself time and money and go somewhere else this was completely unacceptable i will not be going back I'm also sure they they didn't clean their tools in between working on my friends nails or mine and their bottles were mislabeled they had their monomer in a bottle labeled cuticle softener read more

I had acrylics put on fingernails and pedicure. They were very good! I scheduled an appointment and they were BUSY! But they were getting people in very efficiently! I highly recommend them for all your nail needs! read more

Discrimination. I was in the middle of getting my nails done today when I noticed the workers asked 2 separate black women to come back in a couple hours bc they were busy but they accepted 3 separate white women automatically while I was in there. Boycott this place. read more

I've been to this location for all of my pedicures the past 5 years. Sometimes, it is a great pedicure... other times super-rushed trying to turn the chair over again. Usually the polish is good on toes. The acrylics and gel nails are another story. I've kept giving them the benefit of the doubt and going back but after my most recent pedicure and a mysterious rash on my left great toe, I will not be back. Their salon is in poor repair, which I have overlooked, staff is also not super-friendly, also overlooked as I'm there for a service not to make a new friend. Their acrylics don't stay on well but are at least better than the quality of the gel nails. I've had a couple of gel manicures by the older lady that works there that were fantastic but every one else does a subpar job. The last 3 manicures I got started chipping immediately. So frustrating. Also probably my largest complaint is that they drilled so hard on my natural nails that they ruined them. It's been over two months since removing the gel nails and using a daily strengthening polish and they are still flipping up as they grow out and now they are splitting. (It isn't my diet either that is causing this. My nails were in great condition when I started using the gel nails again last December.). Overall, I would highly NOT recommend going there. They could definitely use some customer service , hygiene, sanitation and housekeeping training...they also argue with you if you point out a mistake. read more

In the past, they always exceeded my expectations at reasonable cost. Now, high cost with mediocre results. I might go back to see if they will make it right. Will update if I do. read more

I tried this salon for the first time to get a pedicure. Wynn did my pedi and he was fantastic!! I had one of the special pedi selections. I have a terrible time with my feet due to non-diabetic peripheral neuropathy. I cannot stand to have much length. I prefer to have short toe nails with the corners cut out. Wynn did a superb job!! He listened to what I needed and was very friendly. I will definitely be back!! read more

An easy, affordable place to get your nails done. They do a great job and take walk-ins, which I love. It's just so convenient. Don't expect to have a good conversation with your nail artist or anything, but expect them to do a good job. It seems sanitary from what I've seen. I've had a couple manicures and one pedicure done here and each time was very relaxing. I'll keep coming back here! read more

I Had an appointment at 3:30 I was there for 3 hours.There we're people that walked in after me and got done before me.There is no reason why I had appointment at 3:30 and a girl had appointment at 6 and they started on her nails before mine.I will not be returning. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Went in and asked for acrylic pastel yellow nails. showed the lady a picture of what i wanted too. and she ended up giving me neon yellow trash nails. she was so rough on my nails that they were bleeding by the end of the appointment. she was very rude too. whenever i asked her to file a certain part bc it was too sharp she got mad. when she gave me one color palette to choose from for my nails i asked for more. she THREW the color palette at me. and to top it all off she charged me more than what their online prices say. online says $28 and she charged me $40. went to nail time to get them redone where i had a wonderful experience. i don't care if happy nails is closer to me i WILL NOT GO BACK! read more
