Rainy day fall nails! I got the perfect burgundy color! Larry always knows what I like, and he knows the shape that is really good. He is a perfectionist when it comes to dip powder, so that is why I go to him. He's really good at smoothing out and making the nail look very natural. And pretty, I really like the atmosphere today. When I went, it was calm. And they always play nice, relaxing music. read more

I rarely spend money on my nails. I decided to treat myself and my niece to a little girl time. First of all, I'm not sure if they're not aware of the pricing on their menu, but we had booked for a kids manicure and pedicure, and a full set of acrylics for myself. They immediately asked if we wanted a gel polish, I asked what the charge would be and he said for the pedicure alone it would be $56. I pulled up the menu, to show them that it should only be $10 in addition to the $20 kids pedicure fee. We ultimately decided to go with regular polish, which I had to explain to him that the menu shows Free flower design with the manicure pedicure combination. The manicures polish is clunky, doesn't cover the full nail, and they didn't seem to clean up the cuticles at all. When the nail tech was working on the acrylics, he was super distracted and kept filing my skin on my fingers, eventually drawing blood on my pinky. I kept advising him that the shape was wonky. Some of the nails are more pointed. Some of them are shaped to the left, some shaped more to the right. They didn't make you feel like a valued customer, they were just so busy, and the guy who was working on my nails was so distracted, taking care of every question every other person had, that I really wouldn't recommend this place. I also got upset that they tried to upsell designs for the kids manicure and pedicure, Even after, I said nothing extra than what the price is on the menu, they kept making suggestions to my niece and then asking for permission to do the work, which had me advised them three times that we did not want anything that would cost extra. The man did apologize but he didn't listen when I pointed out my nail shape and by the time we were done, I could have cried about all the little things that went wrong with my experience. read more

I went in to Joyful Nails because I generally do my own nails, but I was tired and felt like someone else doing them for a change. I walked in without an appointment and asked for a dip manicure. I was assigned to Kevin and WOW! I was so lucky to have him! I chose turquoise and he did a tremendous job. I was so happy. I am writing this review after wearing them for 3 weeks (sorry, no photo because I forgot before I took them off myself) and they were still absolutely perfect. No chipping or breakage whatsoever. There is no question that Kevin will be the person I request when I go. His work is exceptional. I had him add a tip to one of my nails because it broke and you couldn't tell which one if you tried. When I infrequently treat myself to nails, I care most about longevity and quality, and not so much the "spa" experience-- so my review of Kevin is focused on his skill of mastering both of those things. I brought in my own powder today (Kevin was available on short notice, thank goodness!) and the results speak for themselves. Absolutely beautiful work. Thank you, Kevin! read more

Don't let the older woman touch your feet! She cut my cuticle, made me bleed really bad and it hurt really bad and 10 days later I had an ingrown toenail cut out. Spent $65 going to urgent care to get on antibiotics. I will never trust them or anyone with my feet ever again! read more

Jen was great and did a great job. I would definitely recommend going to see her. She listens and pays attention to detail.

Mimi is the best! She's been doing my nails for 12 years now and they're always perfect!!

I ve never had a nail artist get what I was looking for so completely, so quickly as Brian did this morning. I was travelling through town and desperately needed a new set. I texted him and he met me at the salon at opening. Omygosh! So grateful. Such impeccable service and his artistry! Just wow. Thank you Brian, Absolutely extraordinary! read more

The nail technician was good, and the pedicure was nicely done, BUT.... Knocked off one star because, although I told her twice and pointed to the "basic" option on their menu, she did the deluxe option at a higher price. Knocked another star because I picked out one color, and she used a different one. Bottom line: I came in wanting one thing and left with another. Disappointed because I don't usually get pedis, and this was supposed to be a treat. Won't be going back! read more

Great, friendly service! Professional service. They use plastic covers for their pedicures which is huge for me. Kevin, my usual tech knows what I like and always always takes his time to ensure he does a great job!! read more

Mimi is the best period!!!! Atmosphere is great always satisfied!! I highly recommend

I am familiar with the salon when it was Lily's salon. Unfortunately, the very basic ingredient of a good salon was not met here. The guy that did my nails took the tools out of a plastic box that he carried along with the rest of his tools and products in a larger carrying box and did my nails. I asked him if the tools were clean, but unfortunately, we couldn't communicate. He worked on my feet which was all fine, put the nail clippers and other tools back in the box, and then moved on to the woman next to me, and used the same tools on her feet. I told her that he was using the same tools and we both were a bit frustrated that we couldn't get the message across. I always like to support enterprising local businesses, but joyful needs to get this act together or the word will get out. Clean tools are basic, basic, basic to a nail salon! read more

Mimi is 'my gal'...having used her service for a number of years; always does a great job with my nails.

After having really bad experiences at First nails on southern - was at Sprouts and saw this salon. Decided to try it. Was very very pleased. Kevin did a great job on my pedicure and I asked for gel manicure. He was very patient when i changed my mind regarding the color several times. I plan to go back to Kevin from now on!! read more

the nail tech came out looking and acting half asleep. the polish job was not within lines of toes. just the attitude sucked and i wont come back here again. read more

LOVE this salon! The staff is kind and accommodating definitely recommend Luis and Minh for acrylics and fun designs!!

Worst salon i been to. It took them two hours to do just my toes and they had to switch people. I also wanted the deluxe package and they only did a few of the steps and still charged full price. I also told the lady i wanted square and she did them all different shapes so the next guy had to fix it. Then when she did the leg mask, she took the towels off and didn't wipe the mask off completely leaving it to dry on my legs. The second guy rushed to finish what she did but still did not complete the rest of the package. Its almost been a week and they look worse than when i walked into the salon. read more

Honestly the only reason this place is good is because of Krystal . She's great but either then that the place is trash the people are rude and if I'm going to tip you $50-60$ and make me wait a hour after my appointment that I made a week before ? Yeeasaahhhhhhh thanks but no thanks . Vibe weird . read more

I've been coming here for about 6 years. Mimi is excellent. I drive from Santa Fe for her.

Absolutely talented professionals! My nails always look perfect and last a long time. I do the powder dip on my nails and regular on my toes. Always sparkly clean. read more

This salon has gone downhill! The last time I had my nails done the tech filed them down so thin (and they're lumpy) that they're breaking even with gel on them. Also, this is the worst part, the tech had a fungus or something on his hands and now I have it! My hands are peeling. I wouldn't recommend this salon read more

My pedi could not have been more cursory or faster unless I paid my ten year old daughter to put nail polish on my toe nails. Once I declined the upsale I was persona non grata. This "classic" pedicure cost exactly $1 per minute. I was not allowed time to soak and the "hot stone massage" was a quick swipe over my legs. No lotion, no massage, nothing but nail cutting and polish application. I will not be back and will let my friends and colleagues know to not waste their time and money. read more

This place used to be a Lily's, I went there a number of times through out the years and the service was a hit and miss; hated how pushy they were about adding services. I also frequented other surrounding places because none were excellent in all ways: cleanliness, setting, good nail service and friendly! Today is a new day! I'm back going exclusively to Joyful and requesting Eric but all the techs seem to be more low key and professional. read more

I love this place and highly recommend it. Ming does a fabulous job with my gel-pedi. I'm so thankful that I found this place. I use to come here when it was Lilly's. I love the new management. read more

My daughter got fungus from this place. They don't clean properly and rush through everything. Stay away from this duty place.

If I could give a negative star I would. I was asked to upgrade my manicure, which I did, and never got my nails polished. She said she didn't like regular polish so I guess she decided what was best for me. She was rude when I mentioned it and they didn't seem to care that I was never going back. I also heard them pretty much harass the elderly ladies until they upgraded to get gel. read more

Horrible. She emptied out gross old nail clippings right in front of me before using them on my nails. My nails are filed crooked even after I requested she fix one. She was rough and not thorough at all. The polish isn't smooth and there's polish all over my fingers. Waste of $30, I'll never be back. Worst nail place I've been to on the westside. read more

I was loyal to Lilly's nails. Once the new owner bought it, I had terrible work 3xs. Went back twice to fix a broken nail in 24 hours. Tim is terrible. 130 dollars should last longer than a few days. After the last bad job, I am not returning. No quality and over priced. read more

I love coming here Lilis dis an awful job I'm thrilled a new owner took over. So friendly and fast I get exactly what I want everytime

As much as I love the woman who does my nails, Trinity, the management is horrible. They yelled and screamed and me when I asked for more hot water. The owner or manager filled the bowl for my pedicure while I waited for her to finish up with someone else. The water was not very warm so I asked for more hot. He did it. I waited 15 minutes and the water got very cool. So I asked him to warm up the water. He yelled and screamed at me said my girl would do it in 2 minutes...I asked again...he said I already gave you hot water, she will be here in 2 minutes, ok now that is 5 I was sitting in cold water by now. He is still yelling and screaming at me. Told me to leave and take my girl with me. I did not want her fired............I stayed, but will never go back again. He Yelled at me. read more
