Joy Spa & Nails - Builder gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So I went in for new nail set and pedi, the staff was very very nice and friendly, their work on the other hand was not so great. They both took a very long time and both ended up sucking. My pinky nail chipped two days later. This is not my regular nail place so I wanted to keep it simple, I asked for silver chrome nails, took the guy like 10 min to figure out how to make the chrome stick, and had to get another tech involved and after rubbing the chrome on my nail vigorously it finally stuck, this was a long process, each nail took a long time for the chrome to stick, after all that, there were still pieces of the nail with missing chrome but I figured i'd leave it since he took so long already, a day later the nails chipped and the chrome was coming off like a peel, just peeling off. I am disappointed with the quality of work for the high amount I paid. I paid $175. Went to another nail salon to fix their terrible work, they said they'd never seen it peel like that. read more

Joy Spa & Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was a regular at this salon and saw a couple of things that looked a little less clean than what I thought I should see at a nail salon but I am not an expert so I assumed everything was being done properly. Maybe it is and I just had an off day there. After my last visit I wound up in the ER due to a severe toenail infection with pus oozing out of the bottom of my toenail. The staff are very nice but this is not something I would ever want to see from a nail salon. I will not be back. read more

I've come here twice because it's close to home and both times they made me bleed quite a bit. I take care of myself and I've never had an issue anywhere else. Probably won't be back. Update: 4/10 toes currently bleeding and it's literally turning the water pink lol read more

I saw this place on Facebook and was dying to try this place out! Their place looked amazing. I went in and they have an iPad check in and a wrist temperature check. The staff are super friendly and the place is insanely clean! They definitely sanitize between customers and make sure that everything they use is disposed properly. They have 3 different TVs that are playing different movies so that you can have some entertainment while getting a manicure or pedicure. I gave my nail technician an inspiration picture and she delivered! I will definitely go back and I highly recommend this place! read more

My favorite nail salon! They're always so kind and accommodating. I look forward to my appointments every month

This place is outstanding!!!!! I just completed a 12 mile training run and really felt the need to be pampered. My regular place was booked. I was recently at Jinja and noticed Joy Spa and Nails had opened. I decided to look on Facebook to find their site and get a phone number. Facebook page showed a really nice space. I called and got an appointment and went right in. As you enter, you are asked to sign in via a tablet and once you are signed up, you have access to discounts for your birthday and collect points for each visit. The place is really beautiful! Very clean and upscale. Sam was my manicurist. We started on the pedi chair. You are given a menu where you select what scale of service you would like. I chose the deluxe pedicure and a manicure. While getting my pedicure, I was able to get a chair massage which I was able to select from a remote menu. The service was great and my toes were looking sharp. Next up, a manicure. I chose the same polish for both my feet and hands. Manicure was great and the hand massage is by far my favorite part. I left feeling great! The service is exceptional and I will be back! Thank you Joy Spa and Nails for opening on the westside! read more

It's been a while since I've had a set done so I was on the hunt for a good place. Joy Spa is pretty active on social and their photos are always so nice, so I did my best to message and call to try and get in with the techs whose work was featured. There was no response on social and after a few days and calls, I was finally able to send a photo of the design I wanted to try and find a tech that could replicate it. I was assured that all the techs were good and any of them could do a great job. When I arrived, the salon was nice and clean, everyone was very busy and I was taken back to start my nails pretty quickly. At first, I was confused about who was doing my nails but realized the gentleman who prepped me would pass me along to a tech after getting my service started. My tech, Amy, was very nice, very quick and very good! She easily matched the photo I had shown her, my service was done in a little over an hour and the price was fair. I would 100% recommend Joy Spa if you're in the market! read more

Made an appointment with Amy for 11am on a Sunday. When I arrived I was told that Amy is off. Instead of making sure I could be helped by someone else the girl at the front desk proceeded to literally YELL at me and took at least 3 customers ahead of me. This place had been recommended to me by my lash girl. Don't know what she was thinking. I don't know how this front desk person has a job. Edit: wow I should have read the reviews before coming! Apparently the customer service here is a known issue. read more

My sister who lives in the nearby area recommend this place! And I was really happy for the recommendation. I made an appointment for 3 and when we showed up they took us almost immediately back. The service was amazing the staff was really patient with us even when we kept changing our minds in the colors we wanted. They offered us water. They really did a great job with services I really enjoyed my pedicure it was so relaxing! I was really happy with the quality of service. My mani and pedi were superb! My friends really enjoyed it also! read more

I have been a customer for 5 years. I took my husband in for a manicure today. Simple. They charged him for a $30 manicure where he refused any polish. However, since he agreed to a buff they charged him $5. The clear polish is free . I live in the neighborhood across the street and I've been a customer for 5 years I'm just a little offended that they also charged me 45.00 for a dip, 5.00 for soak off, 5.00 to shape, 10.00 to trim cuticle, 10.00 for chrome that I agreed to, cost them .50. , charged my husband $30 simple manicure and $5.00 to buff but the clear polish manicure was free and included . What a joke not to mention they have destroyed my natural nail because they treat, sand., and file all nails like artificial nails. Can I afford everything they charged me? Absolutely probably more than their average guest. Do I like being taken advantage of ? Absolutely not, and will not be . read more

I love them I got them for homecoming, I was not happy about the price though the lady was super nice but made two of my nails crooked and if I'm paying almost 100$ I would like them to be straight my nails on my left hand is a little longer than my right if you have the money to spend on your nails this is a great place for you but personally I can't pay almost 100$ each time but I don't think my little design was worth as much as I paid read more

I did a walk in without appointment for a pedicure and was taken back after a very short wait. I got the Pampered Pedi, my nail tech Hann did a fantastic job. She really made me feel so relaxed with the foot/leg massages performed at every step of the pedicure. She had great attention to detail with cuticles and dead skin. My feet feel amazing. read more

I appreciate this nail place for getting me in last minute, friendliness of the employees, and cleanliness. However, the services didn't last. I had the dip done and in less than 7 days two of my nails chipped very badly. One of the chips are large and jagged. I hadn't done any manual labor or slammed my finger in a door, so I am not sure why the service didn't last. I was traveling, so I wasn't able return to get them fixed. read more

I've been a steady customer for a couple of years and I have so much praise for this nail spa.

The spa is clean and comfortable and it's very easy to schedule my treatments on their website. I truly appreciate Joy Spa and Nails! read more

Best pedicure and salon experience I've ever had!! I called them to see if I needed an appointment, after a short conversation they invited me to "come on over, we will take care of you" I was pleasantly surprised when entering the salon. It's beautiful and sparkly clean. I was greeted right away and asked to sign in. They have a tablet at the front counter that signs you in and puts you in line. I only waited maybe 10 minutes and was taken right back. Which is amazing because they were BUSY. The stations are well kept and super clean. I even observed them cleaning chairs between clients even thing they were so busy. I was given a menu with details and prices as well as two books of available colors. When my tech arrived, all of the supplies were individually packed and sealed. Lotion, scrub, tools, etc. My tech took excellent care of me, I'm sad I didn't catch his name so I could call him out here. It was honestly the very best pedicure I've ever had. Time, attention, care and meticulous detail. This is my new place and I can't wait to go back. read more

Only nail place ill ever go to in Albuquerque. They always do every good on my nails never have an issue with them !!!

I honestly use to love this place . But it seems like each time I would tip nicely they would treat me worse . I made an appointment for 11AM and I didn't get in the chair til 12pm and they had another girl working on me til they could get to me . I wanted a cute cat eye on my toes and they told me No and that my toes are too tiny . They gave me some gross ugly hooker looking pink on my feet . I don't feel comfortable here . The only good nail artist is Krystal. read more

I began going to this Spa for pedicures. Their pedicure services are top notch and so relaxing! Then, when I started getting acrylics on my nails, I went right back to Joy.

I booked one week in advance. One hour later I'm sitting in the waiting area... I feel like it's the salons responsibility to keep an appointment at said time and to make sure they're staffed. This is not the first time I've been kept waiting but dismissed it because I didn't think it'd be a regular occurrence. They staff is nice I will say. But that's all the positive I have to say. read more

Clean and beautiful nail spa! I moved from Seattle to Santa Fe in December and have not found a nail spa in Santa Fe I've liked. So I drove all the way to Albuquerque for Joy Spa & Nails and it was worth it! This will probably be a regular place to go for my manicures and pedicures. read more

Amazing experience. Everyone was so attentive. The place is clean and I felt safe. The instruments and supplies used for my pedicure we clean and sealed. Very happy with the whole experience, I will definitely return. Thank you all for being so wonderful. read more

Very disappointed. Nail tech never introduced herself nor made an attempt. No one greeted, thanked me for coming, spending $75. No one said goodbye come again--this is not my first rodeo here!! Talk about inflation---I looked at my receipt and was charged a service fee--what!! I most likely, and my boyfriend will not be returning. They have become not customer service happy, guess they don't need our $170/month; prices must have increased. read more

We made an appointment at 4pm for 4 people one couldn't come. So 3 full sets and 3 pedicures. The women who got there after us were given the full set service after we had already been done With our pedicures for 30 minutes waiting for a nail tech. I saw 3 nail techs assist other women with later appointments before us, we spoke up they did nothing about it. The customer service is ridiculous, clearly they didn't want a good tip because they treated us like garbage even though our appointment was clearly way before all the other women. Willll NEVER go back. We didn't leave until 830pm. How is it that the women with the same pedicure and full set appointments got there after us and left before us? Please explain. Don't take appointments if you're not going to coordinate and schedule properly. Don't give excuses when you clearly went with the people that barley got there. Over priced for terrible customer service and disorganized. read more

I had an appointment at 9:15AM on Saturday morning. I arrived at 9:10 - checked in and then waited until 9:50 to be seen. My appointment was for a snsDip manicure and a pedicure. However, since I had to wait so long - I was only able to recieve my snsDip manicure. The entire time I was being treated it seemed like I was an inconvenience to the staff and I was asked to change technicians twice. why was I only allowed to get one service when I originally had an appointment for two? read more

I love this spot. I only recently started getting my nails done again, but Joy is so reasonably priced I am going to continue to do so. I typically get acrylic with gel on top but I like my nails short as I work in IT. Most places struggle with this and try to talk me out of it or completely ignore my wishes but Joy Nails does exactly what I want every time. The employees are always kind and do quality work. There usually isn't much of a wait and it is a clean space with good energy. read more

10/10 this place was so nice both the salon and the ladies working there. They had a lot of color options, as well as gel and regular polishes. I got the luxury pedicure and it felt so good. I also got dipped nail polish set, for it being a regular polish it really sparkles. I can't wait to go back soon! read more

I have been going to this salon for a few months and had a mostly positive experience. They are a bit more pricey than others but the most recent experience is why I am giving a low rating. I went in for a pedicure and was charged over $100! Folks, this was their basic pedicure but I did have the gel polish. I also had a design on both big toes. The design was $7 for both but was charged for a full ombré. When I questioned the guy checking me out, he gave me some song and dance for the ridiculous price. My polish was one color. Interestingly, they had tried to overcharge some other customers before me. I am disappointed in how unethical this spa is becoming. They have 2 strikes on my list. One more and I am done with their business. read more
