9/15/2026 i've been to Joy's several times and never had the service that I had today…read more I went in to get a pedicure and asked the lady to make sure to get the areas that were dry First off, she started scrubbing really hard, and I let her know it was too hard. when she was done with 1st left foot, she went onto the Right foot. I checked the left foot and it was cut up. At the end when I went to pay, I asked to speak to a manager because my foot was really hurting and cut up and I showed him. All he kept saying was we do what our customers tell us to do. I said I did ask her to scrub the dry areas, but I didn't ask her to cut me.. He repeated myself and proceeded to charge me full price. He ended up only giving me six dollars off. Why this didn't suffice, because number one she was talking to the woman that was working next to her and not paying attention to what she was doing. Number two, I go there frequently and had never experience this kind of service ever until today. Not once did he apologize or did they take accountability. Even when I showed him the pictures and my foot, all he did was blame me. Shame on Joy's. I know that you don't care that I will ever go back again and it's unfortunate because I always like to go in there. One bad experience negated the previous good service I always received because they were rough and not gentle like their website says, and they didn't take accountability nor apologize

Haven't been able to grow them out this long and hoping that builder gel will help me continue the growth! I came back after 2 weeks when a few nails were lifting at the tips and she fixed them right up. Called when they open and came in an hour and a half later, in and out in 30 min! I'm definitely a fan! Kim is IT!

I am writing this review to warn others about a serious and unacceptable experience I had at Famous…read moreNails. I was seated with the older male technician (he looks like a grandpa) who sits at the first desk on the right next to the entrance and window. The salon was busy that day, and multiple people were present, but not a single person stepped in during or after what happened. This injury occurred while he was removing my acrylic nails. Instead of safely soaking them off, he used the unsafe "popping" method, forcefully prying the acrylic off my natural nail. During this process, he was rough, rude, and aggressive, and he clipped my actual nail that was still attached to the skin, not dead nail or cuticle. This caused an open wound, active bleeding, and exposed nail bed. When I questioned why he was applying glue and a top coat after injuring me, he said he was going to add an additional nail tip because he had clipped my nail. I clearly said no. Despite that, he still applied nail glue and added a nail tip to my finger without my consent, directly over an injured area. When I reacted in pain and tried to pull my hand away, he grabbed my finger again and continued. I pulled back again to look at my finger because I was scared and wanted to see the injury. He tried to stop me from looking at my own injury and did not want me to see it. Instead of apologizing or getting help, he became verbally aggressive. This was not a minor accident. Part of my living nail attached to skin was clipped, leaving my finger raw, bleeding, and painful (photos included). What makes this worse is that even though the salon was full, no staff member intervened, checked on me, or addressed the situation. I did not feel safe. I did not feel respected. This is a serious safety, hygiene, and consent issue. I strongly do not recommend this salon. Management needs to take responsibility for technician behavior and how client injuries are handled.

Tina greeted me as soon as I walked in the door for my appointment, and took me right over to a pedicure chair to get comfortable and soak my feet. We chatted a bit while she took great care of my feet, trimming and filing my nails, treating my cuticles, and giving me a very relaxing foot and leg massage. This in combination with the relaxing massage chair put me in a very happy place. After a while I close my eyes and relaxed fully while she continued the pedicure and polished my toenails. I have to admit it's been awhile since I've had a pedicure and I finally think my toes look good again. There is no doubt that I will return to this salon as my favorite in Albuquerque.

Went there while visiting from out of town and got a dip manicure (something I've been doing for…read moreyears, I have had one a month since 2017). It was clear the man doing my nails was rushed and sloppy, but he followed the steps that I've seen at other salons so went with it. One nail chipped THE NEXT DAY. What was I doing you ask? Obviously something super hard on my nails because everyone knows dip can last while, right? Wrong. I was opening my wallet. I had to file my nail significantly down to hide it. Two days later, another nail chipped. What was I doing that caused this? Putting on a pair of pants. So that's two chips in 3 days. It's now day 5 and three more nails are very close to chipping. The edges are sloppy. It's laughable this is how they perform work, but I understand mistakes happen. I call the salon and ask for a refund and offer to send pictures. They refuse to entertain it, saying it's not their policy and I should have spoken up at the time. Spoken up about...what? Should I have had a sixth sense to know my nails were to chip? Come on. They did mention they have a 2 week guarantee, however being from Chicago and visiting, this is obviously not feasible. So I guess go here any expect poor quality but if you can go back every day? Who has that kind of time? Likely won't be back to ABQ, but putting this out there for local ladies. See pics below and good luck! Update 1 - 2 more nails have chipped since I wrote this 3 hours ago. All I did was put on my coat and reach in my purse for my wallet. Such a joke. A dispute has been filed with my credit card company with plenty of proof of this poor service. Update 2 - 7 days after getting this manicure, 9/10 nails are chipped. The salon refuses to do anything. This is without a doubt the worst manicure I've had in my life. Regular polish would have lasted longer. Avoid this place at all costs.

She was so kind, we chatted about our children and Covid, she talked me through different nail types, Acrylic, Gel X, etc. it was great. What I liked most about the experience is that it was so personable and everybody there seem to really get along like a family. Two girls came up to watch her finish my nails and show her how to do a different technique with the cat eye polish, and they were just joking with one another in a way that was warm and friendly. Sometimes we go for the nails... sometimes we go for the experience. This place has it all!!
