I used to go there regularly, but they have a problem with staffing. There is a very high turn over; every time I find a technician I like, they quickly leave. I have notice that the manager/owner can be rude and condescending, not only with the customers, but the staff as well. Sorry that they are struggling because it was a nice place when they first opened. read more

Absolutely disgusting service. My two friends and I came in asking for regular manicures, yet we were each charged $74. While I was checking out, a man who didn't even do my nails briefly looked at them and then rang me up for a no-chip (gel) service--which is NOT what I asked for. There was zero communication about pricing or upgrades during the appointment. I later called to question the charge and was transferred multiple times, only to be told that my simple French tip design was an extra $22--again, something that was never mentioned beforehand. To make things worse, I was told to come in person if I had an issue, and then the employee hung up on me mid-conversation. Being overcharged is one thing, but the complete lack of transparency and disrespectful customer service is unacceptable. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Happy Nail Bar. I came in for a lash service that I was not happy with and politely asked if it could be corrected. Instead of being met with understanding or professionalism, I was treated with rudeness and complete dismissal. The worst part of the experience was the staff member at the front desk. I waited about 20 minutes before being acknowledged, only to be told to "check back in," which meant waiting even longer. When I asked for an estimated wait time, he avoided answering and repeatedly told me to "just wait," offering no clarity or courtesy. His attitude quickly became disrespectful--rolling his eyes, acting irritated, and even telling me "you talk too much" when I calmly asked why he seemed upset. I remained polite the entire time and simply expected basic customer service and respect as an adult. Overall, the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and disrespectful behavior made this a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this place based on how I was treated. read more

Last month I had no chip for the first time instead of dipped nails. Two nails chipped and broke. This time I decided to go back to dipped nails. After a couple of days one entire nails' polish fell off. Two days later in the morning another polished nail fell off, that night another on the other hand. Now I have lifting on several fingers and chipped nail on one. Never in my years of manicures have I had such results. Very disappointed and my hands are embarrassing. read more

I've been a customer here for almost five years and have always scheduled appointments for eyebrow tinting--confirmed by years of text messages. Today I drove 30 minutes to my appointment only to be told they "don't schedule appointments for eyebrow tinting," which is completely inconsistent with my experience. The lack of consistency, communication, and respect for returning customers is extremely disappointing. After years of loyalty, I expected better. I will no longer be visiting this location and encourage others to be aware of their unreliable scheduling practices. People of Color STOP GIVING THIS PLACE BUSINESS. RUDE RUDE RUDE read more

I'm not sure why they don't have close to 5stars because this was definitely a random walk in GEM! first of all, the place is gorgeous! to me, it's clean and up to date. I got a no chip pedi and I swear this pedi was probably top 3 of my life! lol I'm 35 weeks pregnant and my tech TiTi was AMAZING! noooo complaints. My feet and legs were in heaven. she took her time and went to WORK! they also passed out fruity non alcoholic drinks which me and baby loved. I will be back for sure and request her again. read more

I think that they do a very good job I have been coming here for over 5 years and now brought my baby with me for the first time and they took very well of her and me!! read more

Everything about this Place is really great! The service is excellent, the atmosphere is relaxing, everything is clean and new and the people here are very friendly read more

It was my first time I try this place. I got a full-set and pedicure. The pedicure was not that bad the same lady did my full set and it was horrible. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she did them so square and ugly. It looks like a nice and fancy nail salon the staff was friendly but the nails were horrible. Now I have to fix them myself. SMH not with the 117 dollars I paid!!! read more

Tony does a very great job with pedicures he takes his time and makes sure you are well taken care of!

I waiting for 2hrs had appointment and they lying to me about my nail tech coming, then finally thanks to Tina and Vivian I was taking care of.. they grown people at front desk and they better start taking better of their customers read more

Now I know why I stopped going to this shop. I thought I would give them another chance- big mistake! I'm being generous with 2 stars. The tech was nice enough, but the tips with dip he did are terrible. Not to mention he nicked the cuticles on 4 of my fingers. He did zero shaping - even after I asked him to fix a few. Lastly, it's very strange vibe to have other techs come over and just watch over your service and stare. No plans go back. Only perk was 15% off before 3 pm if you pay cash. However, not worth it as the quality and skill of the tech I had was poor. read more

Walked in, was asked to sign in. As I went to the machine, the same guy (3rd time) starts pressing buttons on the screen. I had no idea what he did, and as I told him to stop, he did. But this was the 3rd time. Their front staff says he does it all the time. You go back to get your service and they hand you a list of services- with no pricing. Last time it was $55 for a pedi. This time? $70. Same thing. Mgr came and said sorry, ge will talk to guy. Everyone kept saying sorry about his behavior. Never again. read more

3rd time's a charm??? Don't bother with this place. There are soooo many other nail places. I have booked 3x to have Sam as my nail tech (she's outstanding), only to be told 2x she's not there (why book an appt then), then to have you come in, tell you, and then try and get you to have a different tech (there's a reason why I BOOKED with Sam). Today's appointment, the girl claimed to have rejected my appointment. Yet, I have nothing in my emails or text messages to support her claim. I call b.s. Because I receive all your advertising texts, emails, and phone calls. Smh. Sorry, Sam, you are very good at what you do. Relocate your employment to a reputable establishment, and you will follow. read more

Love the service and the pedicures are wonderful! The manicures are also great. I always see Tammy.

I am a regular customer here. Sara usually does my brows and lashes. Friday sara wasn't feeling well, she was coughing really bad. I got medium cluster lash set. The moment I left my lash lifted, I immediately came back and Sara fixed it. I went home to get ready for my event a few hours later the lash came up again. I called they said come back and Sara would fix it. When I got there Sara was rude and didn't want to fix them. She told me to come back Saturday because she didn't feel well, and she would give me a new set. I have been wearing Lashes for 8 years never had this problem. I went back Saturday and Sara refused to fix my lashes and had Emma to re-glue them instead of a new set. That same lash came up again Saturday evening, and my eye is now really irritated and red. Poor customer service when there is error on their part. I checked my account I have spent hundreds of dollars at this place so the treatment I received was very disappointing. read more

Horrible place cut up my sisters toes and mine. The tech was more interested in what was going on around him. And the lady cut the cuticle way to much on my sisters toes then rubbed it raw with the nail brush. Definitely not Happy nails. We got them done not even 24 hours ago we left there 8pm last night and these pictures are 5:30pm next day and Her toes have been bleeding because of them. Have to go to the doctor now. read more

Tammy and Tyrone always provide good service and very friendly. highly recommend this location.

They are rude they rush the work, and business etiquette are horrible. I love Cathy the brow lady she can do no wrong. But toast was the 3rd strike with the salon I drove a hour. Won't happen again! read more

They change their prices a lot and they don't have the best nail techs. I just go for a pedicure and use points whenever I have them to get discounts. Otherwise I don't recommend. I really do like the ambiance of the place and it's a big space but they need new techs. read more

I wish I could give this place no stars. I knew the quality of the experience wasn't going to be the best but I took a chance because I was on a time crunch. The gentleman did the pedicure and it wasn't the best but the whole point was I just needed a polish. He began to do a worse job polishing my toes as I had done the day before when I only had 10 minutes to spare. It was obvious he was new and not ready to take customers for polish. I don't understand why nail shops do this. He wasn't able to even hold the brush to the polish properly. This is a practice that needs to stop because it frustrates both the customer and the staff. read more

I came in with a picture reference with the design I wanted. I sat there for two hours. mind you. no tip or anything since my nails are long. I could've done a better job at home. first time in two years since I've been to a salon for a manicure. this place is cheap for a reason. you get what pay for I guess. will not be back. read more

If I could provide zero stars, I would. When I went to get a no-chip manicure, the technician used an electric nail filer but obviously did not know how to use it. He filed straight through 3 of my cuticles and almost filed entirely through my actual nail. I now have a giant pink colored groove in my nails that will need to grow completely out. I left the salon bleeding in multiple spots, my no-chip manicure was soft and peeling off, there was nail polish all over my fingers and to top it off, they refused to give me a refund. They offered a "free service next time" as if I will ever return. When I complained, the technician also touched my bleeding wound with his bare (unwashed) hands. read more

First time trying out Happy Nails with my daughter and we were very happy with the outcome of my nails. I was a bit confused why they advertise at the mail desk 10% off for first time clients with a yelp or google review, then when I go to pay I'm told it's only Mon - Thur and it isn't advertised as such. That should be much more clear. Also, my massage chair didn't work the entire time which was a bit disappointing, however I appreciated the tech asking several times if I wanted to move. We were too far in to go through that hassle. read more

Every time I get a full set, I have to come back the very next day to fix something. My most recent visit. I wanted an ombré full set, simple right. The nail tech applied way too much product, and when she began filing it was like she was using the wrong nails drill bit B/c the drill was removing the acrylic to which she had to go back and add more. The finish product was lumpy and the three colors to create the ombré were not blended properly. Also once you start liking a nail tech and you call to schedule they no longer have that person. Why can't this establishment keep their staff. read more

This nail salon is luxury. I was mesmerized with the beautiful decor inside this place. It was like walking into royalty. My only dislike was when I walked inside. One of the guy's was like a vulture. Running up to me telling me to follow him. He never asked me what type of services that I needed. I read some of the reviews after my visit. Wow it's unbelievable how they would treat the customers. So glad that I wasn't treated in that mannered. The nail tech that serviced me was super nice. I was relaxed and enjoyed my pedicure. On that note. I will make sure to update my review on the next pedicure visit. read more

My daughter got a pedicure about 2 or 3 weeks ago. She has come here many times had no problems. Well this time she got an infection on her left big toe either due to the person drilling to close to the cuticle or unclean tools. My daughter had seen a couple of doctors and today 7/12/24 she saw a podiatrist. The nail has to be removed. I am extremely upset she is also pregnant. Will not be coming back ever. read more

I recently had the opportunity to check out Happy Nails and it was truly an amazing experience. I visited this location even after reading the reviews. I went in for a pedicure with Tracey she was truly amazing. The staff greeted me and were super kind and hospitable. This salon is gorgeous, clean and has several stations. The pricing was upfront so I am not sure what the other clients are referencing. The pricing is competitive with other salons especially if your getting nail art and etc. I had a luxury pedicure spa with no chip color and parffin wax it was 70.00 which is pretty normal with other salons. The salon takes walk in and very efficient. I would recommend this salon. read more

Purchased a gift card for my daughter for Christmas. They left her sitting in the bowl for over 45 minutes! The next day she has a infection that we have been treating for 2 days now waiting to see the dr hopefully on Monday. I would bring her up there but why ? So the rude lady that runs it can possibly offer us a discount on our next appointment which we will never book ?! Terrible place. Zero stars here if I could! read more
