Brianna V.

I have been to Joy Nails a few times and every time I am pleased with my experience. I am rating 4/5 stars because the receptionist was pretty rude and gave me attitude for paying with card. I do appreciate that this salon has a stamp card, so at the 10th visit you get a free mani. Nails: I just came in this week to get a manicure and my lady was named Yvonne she was nice but there are some minor flaws with her job on my nails she didn't get the sides of my inner nail on a couple of my finger nails. She was really kind though and gave me a complimentary water during my wait. I will definitely come back because the prices are great and I like how they have a lot of color choices.

The lady name Carmen cut me in blood.
Tina S.

Beware ‍ The lady very rude her name is Carmen she was looking around but not my finger when she cut me in blood. I was bleeding and she has no apology just start my nail . I refused I told her you can't do my gel without clean my blood. Then she took out a very dirty towel. I took my hands back . I told her you can't clean my bleeding finger with that dirty towel. Long story short she refused to do my gel. Just told me set to the next lady's chair. Told her to do my gel. The second lady she is better but not good at doing nails and also her customer was waiting . she is very rash. Then after two days my nails begin crack and bobbles . I paid $50+$10tip. But this nail spay was very disrespectful and terrible works. So this is the reason why I have to give them 1

Stopped in to get a gel manicure ($30), deluxe pedicure ($40) would pass on this and just get a regular pedicure and underarm wax ($12) nail tech was amazing I'm loving my nails. Was so so on the pedicure very soft tech I like someone to really get in there and wax was perfect. They took me really quickly definitely will be returning.

She filed the polish off this finger too.

Never going back. The one lady who did my pedicure was nice and did a good job. However the other lady who did my mani clearly did not care. She was very rough, was hardly looking at what she was doing and left all my nails uneven, rough around the edges, lumpy, and left nail polish all over my hands. The vibe there was also kind of off when I got there if that makes sense. I felt uncomfortable. Should have taken that as a sign and gone elsewhere. I would never recommend this place again.

Chipped nails (day 4)

Follow up on my review from last night about my service done on Monday. I just walked out of the salon with no refund or free manicure. The manager (which I assume she is) told me it's out of her control and she doesn't guarantee how long a regular polish will last. I explained to her that I work in education, I'm not rough with my nails. She Blamed it on the fact that we wash our hands so much. Ummm no. I have gotten many regular polish manicures and they last 7-10 days not 4! I would've appreciated just a new color, not the whole manicure all over again. The manager didn't offer anything. Her words exactly "I don't care". I can't stand cheap nail salons. I was desperate and I came here, but I'm sticking to my girls at Cielo beauty bar in Uptown Whittier! Check them out.

I'm so disappointed like so disappointed I've never experienced a place where my nails were done so carelessly & have the workers see the disappointment in my face I've never wanted to cry about how my nails look this is so embarrassing the shaping is horrible my nails weren't even filed down correctly . All for giving chances but if you know one of your workers isn't good at doing nails then why try to rip someone off for their money I'll never come back here and I will be letting my family as well not to ever come back here .

Ombré Acrylics

Nikki did an amazing job getting my dream wedding day nails! I showed her a picture online and she matched it perfectly. She always asked if I liked shape and length so I felt comfortable making a change at any point. She was kind, friendly and took her time. Her next appointment arrived while she was still working on me and she did not rush her work at the end. Greatly appreciated! Thank you

Christmas manicure

I LOVE my Christmas manicure. Theresa always does a great job and adds the cutest details. Thank you

October 2016 . Great nail tech !!

After several disappointing nail salons in my local area, I decided to broaden my search and go a few miles away from home. I found this nail salon via Yelp. I called on a Saturday morning and they said if I could get there within 20 minutes I'd be attended to immediately. Vroom vroom ! Off I went. This nail salon is located in a shopping center, as most nail salons are. The nail shop environment is clean despite how busy it is. The ladies are professional and hospitable. I've felt comfortable in every visit. I decided to get acrylic nails after many years of not having acrylics. The last few times I've had acrylic nails, after a week or so they chip or peel off. Yes! Peel off! Not these acrylics. So far they've remained sturdy and chip proof. There are plenty of stations for nails and toes to be worked on. The ladies work speedily and still do a great job. They're honest too. On my first visit I told my nail tech that I wanted a specific design. When she was done with the acrylic application she handed me over to another nail tech who could finish the job. My nails looked great and I received so many compliments! I loved my nails so much I couldn't wait to go back and get them filled. And then a second time. Each time these ladies have done a great job with my nails. I'm so happy with this nail salon, I'm looking forward to more visits . Just check out the hours! Lastly, Lily is a great nail tech!

BOOK WITH MARIA !!!!!! No offense to the other waxers, but…read moreMaria is literally heaven sent. She's fast, gentle, and so comforting during the wax. I've had 2 other waxers and my results were not as good as when I book with Maria. I got my first Brazilian wax ever with her, I told her how nervous I was and scared of the pain. She made it as painless as a Brazilian could be. Just returned for my 5th Brazilian and I'm extremely happy with how it went. I will never book with anyone else because of how good she is!!! Thank you Maria !!!

I've been coming to this specific location for years and it's gotten to the point where it's just…read moretime to finally speak up about the bad parts. My main issue was Mia at the front desk who, took about ten minutes to walk out to the front desk and acknowledge me at the location. She only walked out to check someone out, and when I gave her my name, she said, "you're an hour early, I don't have anything right now" and then continued to check out the other lady. I sat there and waited for a formal acknowledgment. I expected her to tell the other woman who was sitting in the room with me, you're next and tell me let's see what I can do and give you options. Nothing. I walked out, and had to waste an hour of my time for the appointment. When I walked in, she was still checking out the other lady, and then told me I would not be able to be seen because now I was too late, - 9 minute grace period, even though I waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged when I first walked in, too late. She told me there was nothing else left for the day although I had only one small prepaid service I was waiting for. I couldn't come the next day as I was heading out of town, hence the need for the wax. When I looked at my phone as I walked out, I got a text saying I had a no show and had 3 no shows before they don't take my appointments and can only do walk ins. I had to walk back in and ask her for her name - Mia, and who was supposed to be the waxer - Jeanette, who couldn't do the wax because they had just added new wax and turned up the heat. (This means nothing to me btw as I don't work there) She also told me she had been gone for ten minutes because she also has to sweep so they can close on time because there was only one waxer. This is an hour and a half at this point after I originally showed up when the closing was nearly 2 hours out. Not once did she mention, hey we only have one waxer, when I checked in, nor did she say look we are low staffed today can you com back at a different time or day. Nothing. It's rude and horrible customer service, I also don't appreciate the attitude when I called her out on her behavior. I didn't want to argue with a young girl, but I do find it incredibly disrespectful of me and my time. I will not be returning to the location and will be asking for my money back on unpaid wax passes. Additionally, EWC, get more employees and pay them fair wages. It's no wonder why people are constantly leaving, you leave the waxers spread thin, alone, and have compressed schedules for them making them make mistakes along the way. I really liked my last wax girl here, Stacy and ever since she left it's really gone downhill.

My second experience here is where it all went downhill. I got a dermaplane facial and requested a…read moredermabrasion as well. The technician informed me that the dermabrasion would be too much exfoliation since the derma plane is exfoliating as well. However, she still recommended doing a chemical peel and because I'm not that educated in skin treatments I proceeded with her recommendation. About a week later after my facial, I I noticed 2 burn marks on my face, which I assumed were from the chemical peel. While one healed, one has still not gone away, and this is a facial I received late in December 2025. I went back a month later and asked the technician(different one) what the mark was. She said it was like acne post mark because of too much exfoliation with both the dermaplane and chemical peel . She said it should fade away and recommended me one of their expensive skin resurfacing products. I did not buy it and this was my last visit here. 3 months later, I still have this mark on my face so I have an appointment with the dermatologist soon. I would still recommend this place for maybe the basic $70 facial, it's pretty cheap and worth the money. I do not recommend any other special services because it seems some of the technicians may not be as educated and it's not worth messing up your skin.

I have been going to the skin room on and off for years! Every esthetician has done a great job and…read moreI've always had great results.

The massage was not very relaxing. Juanita used short quick motions that made my muscles tense up... kinda reminded me of the same forceful motions that one would use on a manual washboard. And candidly, it felt like she was in quite a rush. (No, I didn't say anything to her because I wanted the full authentic experience that Fejjab Spa offers.) But she was very nice but not very skilled. Also, my massage ended way before my time should have. (I arrived a few minutes late, but even then, the massage ended at least 15 minutes earlier than the original time and there was no clarification if my time would be cut short or allowed to run for the amount of time that I purchased.) This was my first back facial. I was really looking forward to it because I knew there was a bunch of interesting things that I could not reach. The whole experience would have been immensely more enjoyable if they offered a heating lamp. What I discovered during my first experience is with all of the liquids, creams, lotions, and mask, my entire back was exposed and I was cold the entire time. I think the cold from the facial undid any relaxation from the massage. Perhaps the quality of service could have been given more grace, if the services weren't so expensive. I feel this experience was over-priced when compared to far more luxurious establishments offering the same services for less. Though my experience was disappointing,
