Well, I spoke too soon. I left a raving review a day ago and then they started to chip. Not good for a $51 job with a $14 tip. read more

Joy Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I had been researching a pedicure place to go while I am at Galveston. I look for clean, friendly, and good customer service! I have found the place, took my granddaughters to get their nails done too! They were nice the place was clean and sanitize the tools that were used on our feet! ( a most for me). The ladies were very attentive to my girls and me! I will recommend and will come back next time we are in Galveston!! read more

I have been patronizing the owners of this place for well over a decade (followed them here when they opened their own place). Best nail spa on the island in my opinion. Everyone is so nice and welcoming to all, the salon is comfortable and relaxing and they do their best to accommodate the needs of all clients, even when there are a ton of walk-ins! They expanded to a second location a few years ago which also stays busy. The level of traffic through both places speaks for itself. I really only ever get pedicures and the occasional shellac, but they do full sets, dips, powders, gels and probably many things I don't know about. Also waxing, volcano spa pedicures, and I think massage. If you're visiting or live here and are looking for a new place, try them out for your self care needs! read more

Ann (sp?) performed my gel manicure on November 1 - beautiful. I walked in without an appointment. It was toward the end of their day, so it worked out for me. Ann was very gentle, thorough, and meticulous. I use my hands a lot, without gloves. My nail color did not chip. This is my first time using DND shellac - it wears beautifully, makes my nails feel strong, and it is super shiny. I went in again today, November 9, for another gel manicure because my nails grow rather quickly, and I like my nail polish completely covering my nail bed. I did make an appointment today, since I was going in earlier and thought that would be a good thing to do. I'm glad I did. The place was buzzing. Ann did a beautiful job again today. She also performed my classic gel pedicure - careful, precise. The short but thorough foot scrub was very nice; the sugar scrub leg massage was also very enjoyable. Thank you Ann, and thank you Caroline. I enjoyed meeting you today. I'll make another reservation the next time I'm in Galveston. Mags read more

I'm someone who rarely provides a review. I'm a 63 year old man who's finding it harder to do some basic things like clipping toenails. I'm very much not proud of this but sharing because when I decided to try out a pedicure, it was an amazingly positive experience. I didn't know what to expect and left feeling better than I could have imagined. My feet walked into the salon looking like goat hooves and walked out looking and feeling like human feet again. I can't recommend trying this strongly enough. Jasmine was the very kind lady who took extremely good care of me. I plan to make Joy Nails a regular part of my personal care from now on. Thank you for your patience and professional help. read more

My go to place for manicure and pedicures. Wonderful customer service thank you Caroline and family

My daughter and I got our nails done at noon... my daughters nails (regular polish) are more than half way off after an hour in the pool... I don't expect it to last forever but this is for a 6 year old so I didn't want to pay for no chip. I thought it would have lasted a little longer.. prior to get getting into the water, it was still a messy pedi with paint all around her big toenail on one foot.. my pedicure (no chip) is less than impressive, on top of my cuticle. I feel like I might have been able to do it better myself. We were just trying to get pampered on vacation. My manicure is nice but that was done by another gentleman than the lady that did my pedi and daughters mani/pedi.. didn't pay attention to names read more

Visiting from out of town and decided for a pedicure before heading on our cruise. Wonderful local owned establishment with great service that was very personable and welcoming. Thank you Joy Nails! read more

I was a walk in and was able to be see. Immediately. It was two hours before closing so plenty of time to do a mani/pedi since I planned on a basic pedicure. My first impression wasn't good as the second I sat down in the pedicure chair, the tech assigned to me said something and they all looked at me and laughed. Doesn't matter what she said whether it was about me being the last person of the night or something rude...the impression it gave me was that I was being made fun of before I even spoke a single word to anyone. The pedicure was rushed and the left leg didn't get more than a minutes massage. When she got to the right leg I asked her how her Christmas was and began a conversation with her and she then spent more than a minute in the right leg. Loved the color I picked and it looked nice but wasn't a relaxing experience. The nail tech who did my nails (Caroline) was the reason I'd come back if I lived here. She was very kind, made sure she understood what I wanted and we had a very pleasant conversation the entire time. She nailed the design! I appreciated her checking in with me throughout the service on whether it was still want I wanted and she was doing such a fab job. The other techs came over to watch her awesome work and agreed she did a great job. I'd definitely come back and make an appointment with her next time I visit. It's unfortunate the visit started the way it did and the pedicure wasn't relaxing like we always hope it will be. I still tip and I leave honest reviews. 99% of my reviews are positive and appreciative. I appreciated Caroline and her work. read more

Joy Nails - The design I chose from a pic online. She did it exactly as expected. - Nail Salons Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I love this place and have been getting my nails and pedicures done here since I moved to Galveston. Not only do my nails and toes always look awesome, but the owners Caroline and Linh have been wonderful contributors to the small business community, their church and feeding the homeless in Galveston. Additionally, they run their business with integrity and treat their employees well. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! State Representative Terri Leo Wilson read more

Friendly staff! Always willing to take walk-ins and I've really loved how my nails turn out.

I made an appointment for a mani/pedi this morning. They started on my manicure first which was nice, however they only soaked my nails for a total of maybe a minute, in cold water by the way, which that was a red flag. The gentleman proceeded to apply lotion instead of cuticle oil onto my nails. He wasn't thorough to say the least. The nail polish was bumpy and uneven. Proceeded to get my pedicure and was rushed and the polish was uneven and not smooth. I will not be coming back here. I felt like I was in an assembly line. It felt like, get as many clients as you can, rush and perform a unsatisfactory job. If had not been dropped off, I would have left immediately during the manicure. Spend your time and money elsewhere. read more

We went for pedicures and had the most awesome time! A little girl time and taking time to get a bit of pampering.

I got a full set with gel polish and it turned out amazing! The music and atmosphere were very relaxing and peaceful. The set that I got are the best I've ever gotten, they aren't too thick, and are super smooth. They also don't have that weird upward angle that some nails have. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend going here. read more

$35 for a rushed shellac manicure last evening that is already peeling not even 24 hours later. The color is light and 3 coats were painted to increase the color, but it was not evenly distributed across nails nor was it even covering the entire nail on all nails. My cuticles were not addressed because I was told I have "beautiful nail beds" (clearly not). I know I purposely chose a very light pink color which will show some nail imperfections, but there are still specs of my previous color showing through the paint so it was not thorough removed. read more

Wow this place was incredible! I called for an appointment and they were able to see me same day. Very sweet and professional nail techs. Love my dips they had plenty of colors to choose from and it was a clean place. Refreshing to see Christian bible verses on the wall and the service reflected the values they have. I recommend this place. My nails and toes match perfectly and I am very happy. read more

Awesome experience! It always makes me nervous when I go to a new nail place, because you really just never know how the quality will be. Joy Nails really deserves every bit of 5 stars! On first impression alone, the technicians were very friendly and the salon was spotless, and had a fresh feeling. I got the Royal Pedicure and the "dip" on my nails. They have the disposable plastic lining in the pedicure tubs, which always makes me feel better! The pedicure was very relaxing and she really took her time painting my toes, and always made sure I was comfortable with what she was doing. The same care and precision was taken on my manicure. I got a French "dip" manicure and she took extra care to make sure I liked the shape of my nails and the amount of white tip (I don't like them really thick). I walked in without an appointment and only waited about 15 minutes (they let me sit in the massage chair and soak my feet the whole time so the wait was no big deal). The price for all of this was no more expensive than I have ever paid anywhere else. I will 100% be back the next time I'm in Galveston! Thank you ladies!! read more
