    My creation but Tammy's art!
    Melissa C.

    Feb 3, 2023 It's been a long time since I've been in here. Wanted to set Tammy but she was booked. Had Ken; he did my dip refill and pedi; pleased $82 plus tip

    Uneven surface of nails

    Edit: I was contacted by the owner after seeing my review. He apologized for the service I got and asked if I'd give them a chance to make it right. I had high hopes when I initially selected this salon so I decided to go for it. I have to say Caroline at their other location did a beautiful job. I'm very happy and completely satisfied with their customer service and the quality of her work. Thank you for making it better, if I'm ever in Galveston again I'd definitely go back.

    Great view from the pedicure chair

    Wanted to treat my mom to a manicure and pedicure while we're traveling . They took us right in without an appointment. We each had someone doing our pedicures and another person doing our manicure. Very clean and friendly staff! We got the aloe pedicure. Omg. So soothing. I highly recommend it!

    I love coming to joy nails!! Got a mani and pedi and they did such a great job. Will be coming here again!

    Best nail salon hands down! High quality service every time, and never rushed out of the chair. The staff always go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable, and you get an awesome ocean view while you get your nails done!

    My poor toe :( guess she decided my nail didn't need a corner anymore.

    I came in for a mani/pedi. There was one woman working and 3 customers total. I'm lucky I went first, because the other two customers just sat in the massage chairs without even any water in the bowls for the entirety of my appointment. I got a gel pedicure in 15 minutes. If you know anything about pedicures, you'd know it should not take that little time. My nail tech did not take her time on a single step of the pedicure. I could have done better at home. I even paid for an upgraded sugar scrub. She just smeared it on my legs and immediately wiped it off. Not to mention she made my toe bleed. After the pedicure, I told her I didn't want a manicure anymore, I paid, and left. I went 3 minutes down the road to KT Nails & wow. SO much better- just go there.

    Wonderful staff! They were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. My best friend and I were greeted immediately upon entering. They also presented us with a menu of all available services and their respective prices. I love their transparency! All stations were sanitized after every use. Everyone was also kept an appropriate distance away from each other. Service was overall great! My best friend stubbed her toe in the way to my car and chipped the new polish on her toenails. She went back in and they redid all the affected nails at no cost. Will definitely be back anytime I need a manicure or pedicure.

    Gotta love that nude gel plus evil eye by Tammy!
    Marjorie S.

    Five star service every time! Tammy is super sweet and friendly and always does a great job with my mani and pedi plus she will do any intricate designs I request for. Eyebrow threading with her is also a must. Owners are very sweet and friendly also. The place is clean, sanitary and they offer complimentary drinks. Highly recommended!

    Full set and pedicure!

I definitely felt a lot better leaving here and it was super affordable nothing fancy, but definitely a low-key spot to hit up for a last-minute massage!

    I gave a four because overall it was a good value. I have some feedback both good and bad. First…read morethey got us in right away despite other places being booked out. They greeted us and got us in right away, no waiting. In fact the form they provided we didn't even get to finish so they had no info on sore places we needed worked on, any medical concerns that might prevent some work etc. i would suggest they learn a bit before working on someone. Rooms were clean and its a nice little set up. Soft music but seems its a 15 min track that played over and over for the hour. Can be a bit distracting over a seamless 1 hr track. I never saw my therapist or got a name prior to being almost naked face down. I felt this was the biggest flaw of the experience. Luckily it was a woman and things went fine but they should definitely introduce you to whom will be working on you. It was a bit unnerving. My friend got a male and she is not bothered by that but some females may be. None speak very good English which is no biggie but I would guess they are Thai. She climbed on the table a few times and the stroke intensity was strong. So much so I had bruising the next day. I like a good deep massage but trained folks know how to not damage the vessels so again unclear if these are all licensed therapists. Ive been to many different types of facilities including thai massage places and Japanese. Im not a massage snob by any means, just experienced enough to know the difference. The lady was quiet and polite. The first few minutes were telling as she kinda just launched right in and transitions were not seamless. Once the hot stone part began however she really hit her stride and it resembled a more trained massage. Overall it was a good deep tissue massage sans the bruising. Everyone was polite, timely and the price of $65 + tip was unmatched in the area. They give you a bottle of water when you leave and the owner was very sweet. I would definitely give them a try. If you don't like deep tissue just tell them "light" or "not hard" and Im sure they will tailor. Ive read some reviewers who felt they didnt get deep enough and with the language barrier might be tricky to get the right touch but they are willing and kind so just speak up.

I truly can't express in words how thrilled I am with that decision! Not only was he helpful and knowledgeable, he was excited to make suggestions and it made ME excited to take a bigger risk and let him fully take the wheel with my hair. I have never gone as short as I did and now I wish I had done it years ago. He nailed the colouring and the style and I look f-ing fantastic! As an added bonus on a personal note, he is a wonderful person. He's super easygoing and incredibly fun to talk with. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and welcoming... the whole place is. I love the decor and feel of the place; it's cozy and cute unlike many of the plaza/mall salons that are very white, plain, and cold. The prices are fair and you're really getting the best of the best. I can totally see how this place won Best Salon at the annual "Best of the Island" awards. Plus, they have wine! If you're looking for a new happy place, search no further - Atmosphere is it.

I booked a treatment for my birthday yesterday and maybe my mistake was booking later in the day, it seemed like nothing had been refreshed.

This "tip" was for what, exactly? The service was nonexistent. Not one single time in the 2 hours we were using the facilities (BEFORE our massage) did a single staff member check in on us except the initial walkthrough. ​We had to serve ourselves completely: ​The cold towels were not stocked. ​The razors were empty. ​My wife sat in the relaxation lounge for 40 minutes, but no one ever came to provide her neck warmer. She had to get up and dig through cabinets to find it herself. (As did I) ​I had to walk the halls in my robe just to find an employee to restock the cold towels and razors, and again just to get our water and champagne refilled. After our massage, the amenities were empty all over again. ​The facilities are broken. The steam room was dark with lights out, and one of the showers did not work. ​The staff was rude and incompetent. ​When we first tried to walk in, we were told it was "too much of a hassle." ​We called twice to schedule and clarify our order, and they still got it wrong when we arrived the next day. ​When we finally left, not one person at the front desk acknowledged us, said thank you, or asked how our service was. ​Our masseuse, Miss Holly, was the only professional person in the entire spa. She deserves to work at a better establishment. ​This spa is part of the larger Hotel Galvez, and our entire stay was a catastrophe that brought my new wife to tears. The management is rude, the rooms are broken, and the billing is deceptive. We are deeply saddened that a place that was once special to us (I proposed here: https://youtu.be/Ldo23DDiyn4) has completely collapsed. ​Do not waste your money here. We expect corporate management to take extraordinary steps to make this right.
