Came back for a vacation and visited Joy Nails . I was happy with my gel manicure 3 years ago and just as happy today . Cassie did an awesome job and gave me exactly what I wanted . Thank you ! read more

I came in while on vacation and the gentleman (don't remember his name) was the BEST technician I've had for my spa pedicure! I told him I was having terrible leg cramps from traveling and he literally made my legs feel brand new! Hot stones yes but he took so much time on my legs! I only wish you were closer-I'm from Arizona but I wanted to make sure I let all the Galveston people know how awesome you all are read more

Made appointment for 5 ladies and the owner even brought in wxtra staff to make sure we were all able to be pampered at the same time. Everything was exceptional. read more

Got my eyebrows done by Jacqueline, she did perfect! I was nervous considering I just moved to Galveston and it was my first time at the shop... But the Yelp reviews didn't lie. read more

Amazing services! Everything was super clean and staffs was very professional. The best manicure and pedicure I've had in a while.

The staff was friendly and efficient. Even though they were short staffed, they made us feel welcome. Our mani-pedis were relaxing and we had a lovely view of the gulf. I also had my eyebrows threaded and she did an awesome job! read more

I am not the person who writes reviews but the quality of the service was so horrible that I am going to spend time doing it this time. I have been doing sns dip manicure for 4 years and I've never had such a poor service before. At least one nail gets chipped or the powder cracks right in the middle every single day. Only nails that still look intact has a thickness of powder like a drywall. There is no reason for it to crack and chip from nothing! I was able to pick and crack crabs when the service is done property. But I am vacation right now and don't even do dishes! I would given it no stars if I could. On the pictures you can see that the application is very sloppy and for some reason no cuticle work was included in sns manicure in this place read more

While visiting the area, we decided to treat ourselves and get a mani and pedi after having been out walking along The Strand earlier in the day. We loved the Christian atmosphere and service quality. Of all of the places that we could have chosen, I'm grateful that we were led to Joy Nails. When back in the area, I would absolutely visit again. My ocean blue pedi and French mani will still look great when I return home. read more

I always get what I need. Everyone is willing to give their opinion if asked for it. That's very helpful.

They were fast and did a great job! They give a discount if you use cash. I'll be going back.

Worst mani/pedi I've EVER had. I paid for gel fingernails... they chipped/peeled off in less than a week. I had to file my own nails as soon as I got back to my Airbnb because they weren't smooth at all. My toenails were so rough they were catching the sheets when I got in bed. Again, I had to file them myself. I paid for the "upgraded" spa pedi and got some lotion barely slapped on my legs with no massage, a couple of minutes of attention given while the guy talked to coworkers, and that was it. I couldn't get them to match my (non-gel) toe polish to my (gel) nails so I said just give me a French mani and put color on my toes. The guy was very short with me and argued like he was extremely irritated. He actually "shushed" me and sort of manhandled my hands, grabbing and pulling them! My son also got a "premium" pedi (no buffing, just barely cleaning up) that took maybe 20 minutes, leaving his feet rough, and again, lotion just slapped on. Seriously, I rarely give bad reviews but this was $120 wasted. I had to get my nails re-done when I got back to Austin. Awful experience all the way around and a total waste of money. read more

Came here prior to getting on my cruise ship. Got right in and it was a great value! It was busy but they seemed to be very efficient. My dogs feel great and I'm sure just about 1/3 the cost I would have paid on the cruise! read more

Took my girlfriend here during a spontaneous beach trip, and we couldn't have been more satisfied. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Being by the seawall, I was impressed on how clean the salon was. My gf and I trekked sand into the salon, but they were quick to clean our mess with no hesitation. I highly recommend the Royal Pedicure. My girlfriend also got a gel manicure, and she raved about how she didn't have to wait for her nails to dry. Next time we come back to Galveston, we will definitely be back. read more

You can not do any better than Joy Nails!! I'm new to Galveston and I've previously tried some other nail salons on the island and, boy, am I glad I kept searching for something better...because, today, I found it! I was immediately welcomed as soon as I walked through the door and I didn't have to wait at all...I picked my colors and was shown right to the pedi chair, where they offered me complimentary water or soda. :) I was feeling the need to be pampered, so I got the Signature Pedi (omg...I love hot stones!) and fill-ins on my gels. My nails were done right at the chair, while my pedi was in progress...I LOVE it when salons do that! Kinda makes you feel important! :) I also decided to get my eyebrows waxed (ALSO done at the chair) and some fun, island-themed nail art. Everything was FANTASTIC! The ladies that worked on me (darn it if I didn't get their names) frequently asked me if I liked what they were doing and if I was comfortable, etc...they really paid attention to every detail! My nails and eyebrows turned out beautiful! I'm so excited that I found Joy Nails, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! I can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Just moved to the island - found my new place! Walked in today without an appointment. Absolutely loved my experience here. Not only did they take great COVID precautions, they are extremely friendly and EXCELLENT at what they do! I love how my full set + shellac nails turned out. Exactly what I wanted. I will definitely come back to see Tina! read more

Chose this store base on Yelp reviews as I am new to the area. Was skeptical at first when I asked my nail tech for the OPI Bubble Bath gel color and she didn't know what that was but someone else quickly got the color for her. She did a wonderful job at naturally shaping my nails and the coats came out very even without lumps or streaks. Kind and courteous interactions and pricing was $35 for mani with gel polish. Wish I took pictures the day of, but these are my nails after a week of wear and tear. Still beautiful! read more

Joy Nails - Week old gel mani, still looking great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Galveston, Texas

This review was long overdue. My daughter and I reserved a day to ourselves to celebrate our birthdays on March 9th. Her wish was to go eat out and to go shopping. Halfway through our day, she decided that she would like to have a mani /pedi. I told her that it is Sunday and no one will be taking us at 4 p.m. Well, she checked and saw Joy Nails in Galveston. We didn't even know about this new nail place. My daughter called and ask if we could be seen in an hour and they squeezed as in! We showed up, with my 13 yr old son, tagging along. The owner was very friendly, got my daughter and I both seated and comfortably, with our preferred drinks (they offer water or soda). The spa atmosphere of the shop is what I loved!!! My son was getting a little bored so the owner was nice enough to have him sit on one of the massage chairs and he enjoyed it so much! I tell you, for the service and the price, you can't beat this place. We are definitely coming back. THANK YOU JOY NAILS for a very nice end to our birthday celebration! Connie H. read more

They did great on my feet but when my nails started to come off my fingernail came off with it.!

This place had great reviews and needed to get my nails done before I heard out for another trip after this one so gave it a try. I loved it! Great service, very friendly, and they did a great job. I recommend if you are in Galveston and need to get your nails done. Best part? I paid $32! I mean I don't even remember the last time I paid $32 for a new set of nails!! read more

This place was quite and nice people . But the actual attention to details finish of the service was sub par . My nails were cut square and callous on wife's big toes were not even addressed . She had to mention to them to work on them and once done the job was not good . Some other lack of service when getting the crown royal package , expected a bit more care and service . read more

Got hombre acrylics today and Caroline Le did an amazing job! I will definitely use her when I go back again! read more

Joy Nails - Hombre nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Went in and they weren't busy, got set up with a lady to do my pedicure when a regular comes in and suddenly I was switched to a new lady because the regular wanted the one who was doing mine which was annoying. They got busy soon after and suddenly it seemed like it was a race to get me out to accommodate the others. I left with some pointy nails and some round nails--basically, my nails looked like a hot mess that weren't shaped correctly. It's embarrassing to look at. read more

Exactly what I came here for! Went in for a full set of SNS Dip Powder and Caroline took note of the simplicity of what I needed and wanted. Will go here every time when in Galveston. read more

In town for a conference and decided to splurg! Had so much fun! Able to fit four of us in for pedicures right away. Spend a little extra for the hot stones! read more

This was my first time at Joy nails. I just moved to Galveston and needed a fill in bad. I saw all the great reviews on here and decided to give this place a try. I just walked in since it was around 4pm. I was greeted right away and was told to get a seat. Lee ended up doing my acrylic fill in and gel polish and she did amazing. She took her time and cleaned under my nails and even re-acryliced a nail after I noticed a flaw. The shop was really clean. The only bad thing was one of the workers was on her phone talking almost the whole time I was there. Lee was super nice and I would definitely go back to her! read more

They were very nice and the nail tech named John was honest and professional. The salon had my all time favorite color for my toes, so I was happy with all services. read more

Best nail salon on the island. I've lived here all my life and been to almost every nail salon. This is by far the best all around. From pricing to technique to the pleasant atmosphere. The people are always friendly and eager to make sure you are relaxed and leave refreshed and happy. read more

Tom and Tina are wonderful! Did a great job on my toes and nails! Definitely going back to them

I was in need of a pedicure, and I had heard good things about Joy Nails from a friend of mine, so I decided to check it out. The owner, Lin, was very nice and attentive. He made sure I was comfortable and it was nice to have some light conversation. He really knows how to make his customers feel welcome. Lily did my pedicure, and it was wonderful! I felt so relaxed. She was never too rough and in the end my feet were smooth and soft, with a beautiful shiny pink polish on my toenails. I will be returning. I'm so glad there's such a quality nail salon on the island. read more

Returned to Joy nails today, for the second time, and I believe I have found my go-to nail salon on the island. I've tried many in Galveston and they are always inconsistent. I had the citrus pedi today and it was amazing. Caroline did an excellent job. She took her time, did not rush and gave one awesome stone massage. And my nail polish looks great, no missed areas or painted skin. Caroline told me that they will be introducing both a chocolate and aloe Vera pedicure soon so I cannot wait to try these in the future. The owners, Caroline and her husband, are very kind people and I will definitely be back to support this family-owned business. Thanks Joy Nails read more

Came in because of good reviews. The Place is quiet and small. Got in before another woman and she was served before me even though she came after I did. That's lame. The guy I got had no clue how to cut nails. They didn't clean their stuff well and used dirty tools. Yuck! The pedicure bowl beside me was half hearted cleaned. I preyed mine had actual disinfectant used on it. I got them to get me new stuff. I shouldn't have to ask for clean tools. They did a crap job on my nails. Lord I hope I don't get anything gross from here. A reply to joy nails: The woman did not have an appointment, she walked in right after I did. Do not make things up. You all did not clean the bowls. I sat there while I waited and watched. They wiped and filled, no care was taken. Dirty tools were used! There were nail bits from the last person who used it. I had to ask twice for clean stuff. I asked the man to trim my nails shorter, he did not understand. He smiled, nodded and kept doing as he pleased. He spoke poor English. And crap job means he was messy. The coats were uneven, or he just missed the sides. And lastly, lost half a toe nail. Came right off two weeks after visiting your shop. Thanks but no thanks, if I'm ever back in town I'll go elsewhere. read more

Great place to get pampered on vacation. Friendly owners/staff! Will definitely come back anytime I'm in Galveston. read more
