I just left the nail shop and TanIesha was my nail tech.. she was absolutely amazing. She had an amazing personality. She was very kind and very personable. I would recommend her out of anyone, also the manager there is really good too! there is one girl would not recommend and her name is Livia I'm pretty sure.I had her last time and she had such an attitude I'm a very nice person and am not rude whatsoever even if they mess up I'm not rude. I will politely say something to make sure they're cute ofc but yeah I would avoid her If possible. Again Taniesha is AMAZING!! she does amazing work!! Thank you guys!! read more

GIGI IS A PERFECTIONIST! Her attention to detail is phenomenal! Thank you so much for taking your time to do such a beautiful job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! read more

Nails N Joy - Beautiful Christmas manicure! Thank you so much Gigi! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

To start, my nails were not prepped at all, just ran a drill over them. I showed pictures of the exact shape I wanted, but it seemed like my tech, Diep Nguyen, wasn't listening or couldn't understand. When I tried to explain, she was defensive and combative, but I explained to her that I do my own acrylic nails at home most of the time and I've never had this problem. Two hours later, these are the nails I left with, leftover polish/glue, and dead skin that was never removed. read more

Just moved to Jacksonville & was in desperate need of a pedicure. Didn't have anything to go off of besides price list & reviews. This place had the best of both. Steven was great & the pedicure was on point. Definitely found my goto nail salon! read more

The shop was clean and so cute! Steven did my GelX manicure and he was incredible! Recommend this place 10 out of 10

Joy has been doing my nails for most of my life (15 years) and she is a true artist! She takes any inspiration pic I bring her and always manages to make my nails look better than the inspiration pic! The salon is beautiful and all of the staff is so kind and truly masters of their craft! 10/10 recommend! read more

I come here regularly. Joy and Woody are the owners and they are just fantastic. This salon is right outside my neighborhood and even though they don't live in the 'hood with us, they are definitely part of our neighborhood. The salon itself is nice. There are 8 nail stations, 8 pedicure spas and a place for Joy to do waxes. There is also a private room that occasionally gets used for facials but it's only when a specialist brings a client there. It's not something they offer as one of their services. They have a great selection of colors, gel and regular polish. Woody always does my nails and toes and he does a fantastic job. He is a perfectionist! Joy is my moms go to and my sister goes to Joys brother, Denny. They always make time for me! It's a great little go to spot and super convenient. I recommend them to everyone! read more

I enjoyed my experience at Nails N Joy 3. I recently moved here and found this place after so much research because I've had bad experiences by going without decent research. But here? It was welcoming, comfortable & clean, the employees in general were all very friendly too. I will definitely be coming here for my nails and I'm glad I found this place! read more

They really take care of you and make you feel comfortable! Services are beyond amazing. My feet haven't felt this good since, ever!

I've been searching for a nail salon since we moved here and have been disappointed by a few. One (highly rated one) even sanded down my nails too far that I'm now growing out. Nails N Joy is amazing and I would give it 6 stars if I could. They take their time, they are meticulous and extremely friendly. I brought my 8 year old daughter for a pedicure and they were extremely patient and kind with her even when she wouldn't stop moving while they were painting. I highly recommend them. read more

New to St. John's and needed a place to get a little pampering. I walked into Nails N Joy and immediately loved it. It was over-crowded and didn't seem like a place that would tell you to have a seat and sitting for an hour. I was right! I asked for an overlay on my nails and was told an appointment was coming in but I could come back later in the day. I appreciated they didn't try to squeeze someone in, making the person with an appointment having to wait. I made an appointment instead and when I walked in I was immediately sat down. My nails were so beautiful! I've been back three times since then, each time making and appointment. Will start getting my pedis here too! read more

I went to Nails and Joy today for the first time. Woody did my pedicure and he was awesome. My feet really needed it. I will definitely go back. very convenient for me because I live nearby. so glad to finally go to a salon that I like. Highly recommend. Maria read more

Today was my first time at Joy's and it won't be my last. I came for a gel dip manicure. Woody started me off by soaking and filing my nails and Joy did the actual painting. She is a perfectionist! typically dip comes out really thick and bubbly. She took her time to file it down and make them look as natural as possible. They are perfect! I will be back!! read more

The best thing about this nail salon is the selection of nail polishes. The owner Joy constantly updates the store's collection. They carry various brands of gel polish including OPI, Shellac, Gel-ish, Karina, etc. More recently, she added the OPI Hello Kitty collection. The spa is clean and well-maintained. The entire staff is also friendly and attentive. Joy, the owner does the best pink and white you'll ever have. read more

Joy and Woody are so sweet and know their customers so well. Quality is top notch and my nails always last longer than other places- they take their time, they only take clients based on appointment best to schedule ahead!!!!! read more

They do beautiful work! I go here for pedicures and I am always happy with the quality of the service. They make it fun and very friendly.

Made an appointment... they were able to schedule me that day!!! I arrived a little bit late for my appointment so I had to wait 30 mins to be seen... understandable, NP. Nail tech Denny was super cool... nice good listener and kept good convo while doing my pedicure at a steady pace. Great foot massage!!! ‍Since the COVID I haven't had much socializing lol ‍so I got caught up talking with fellow customers... Denny & the owners were respectful and joined in the convo. I enjoyed the pedicure, conversations, and the atmosphere that was there! Relaxing, inviting, welcoming, accommodating & professional!!! I will be returning!!! read more

Went in for a pedicure while my kids were next door at Creative Me Art. I asked for the regular pedicure which was $25, and was awesome! Excellent work with the glitter polish. Done just in time to pick up my kids so it took a little less than an hour. read more

Nails N Joy - OPI Polish - You're Such a BudaPest - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I've been a customer on and off for a few years and I've never been disappointed. Joy and her family are friendly and skilled. Plus, their product seems to stay on better than when I go to other salons. They don't have as large of a color selection as some places BUT I've never had a problem finding a color I liked. As far as pedicures... everyone in there is excellent when it comes to keg massage. And I don't know about you but it's annoying to me when they mess up that part of a pedicure. That's the best part!!! What I also like is that it's a family run business. read more

I got a regular gel manicure, nothing special. And the lady that did mine (not the owner) messed up so many times. It was streaky and not clean on the cuticles. There was a lot of polish on my skin and she told me "just take it off, when you get home". And this manicure lasted less than 5 days because of how messy she painted them. read more

Nails N Joy - This is my right hand that I haven't pealed off yet, but my left hand is completely off, the edges stared to peel up. - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I have now been here 4 times. I really tried giving them a chance as they are right by my house. Unfortunately the pedicure always chips quickly after I get it and they never really evenly buff your feet. This time I ordered a deluxe pedicure and I had to ask the guy if he forgot the scrub and hot towels. I have had 4 different people but unfortunately they are all just as poor at giving a pedicure. Disappointed. read more

I've been to Nails N Joy 2 three times now. I love it! First of all, it's CLEAN! I'm severely allergic to latex which makes it extremely difficult to find a salon that is not contaminated with latex everywhere. Only one girl uses them, but only at one station. The entire staff is friendly and they actually make good conversation with their customers. My nails look beautiful and my pedicure always feels and looks wonderful. If you're looking for a nail salon that is clean, and friendly staff, this is the place for you. read more

Love this place! They did such an amazing job! Definitely coming back! Got French gel on my hands and the lines are perfect. Also French on my feet and still perfect! Woody is awesome! Very friendly in here as well! :) highly recommend this place! read more

The greatest nail salon I have ever been to. Hands down. Will never go anywhere else. Joy is the best.

This salon would be great if they did not thin out all of their polish. The people are nice but the fact that their polish quality is terrible is a deal breaker for me. read more

Don't bother setting up an appointment! I made an appointment and had to wait another hour. When they took another client, I asked how long it would take and the lady told me to basically reschedule, then the older man told me to just wait. Ultimately it was still another twenty minutes so I just went up the street too Nails for You and they took me immediately. read more

Please, never go here. It's the worst nail salon in comparison to all nail salons in Jacksonville. They're not concerned with promoting good customer service, and instead are more concerned about taking your money. I had the worst experience here (2/10/2016) that I've ever had. When I came in, I told them that I simply wanted a fill ($15, according to them verbally and according to the board in the entrance.) They said okay. I sat down, and the owner (female, talkative) began to work on my nails. She then began to remove my acrylics that were already on my nails, without telling me what she was doing or asking me. I let her do it, assuming she knew what she was doing. As she was removing the already existing acrylics, she broke one of my natural nails. The natural nail was hanging and was almost entirely ripped off. I ignored it, assuming she was going to clip it off. Instead, she tried to put acrylic over the nail she broke. I told her to stop, and that that shouldn't be done because the nail is not attached and it could rot. She said it was okay. I said no, do not do it. She seemed frustrated, but said she'd glue on a plastic nail for me on that nail, as if she was doing me a favor (after she broke my nail...). After completion, she told me to wash my hands and that when I wash them, she'd be ready to paint the polish on my nails. I said before I wash my hands, I'd like my nails to be shorter (they were a ridiculous length, and I work in a professional field.) She, frustrated, said "next time someone does your nails, tell them you want them short!' This is funny to me, because when she first began to work on my nails I did claim I wanted them short. I guess she ignored that. Here's where it gets absurd. My nails are done and I go to pay. She claims it is $25. I say "a fill is $15. Where did the extra $10 come from?" (not that I mind, it's only $10, but I can't believe I'm getting charged for something I did not permit her to do.) She says "oh, I put on new acrylics and the addition of a new plastic nail because your nail broke is $5." SHE broke my nail and CHARGED ME. Also, she charged me for something I did not want without telling me. This is the owner, mind you. Don't go here. read more

I LOVE JOY!!! She is the sweetest lady ever! I've been a customer for years!!! I always go to the State Road 13 location because they're all so friendly and sweet and most of all talented!!! Even the men that worked in there waxed my eyebrows better than some women have!! Their prices are the best in the area for the most quality work. BEST place in Jax for your nail & beauty needs. read more

First experience (3/23) at nails n joy was I thought a good one. My nails were done by the owner and instead of focusing on doing a good job, she decided to chat my ear off about family stuff that happened to her many years ago. I was fine with chatting, until I realized my nail appt was done after 30 minutes and I could tell they were half assed! I had a friend coming in town the next morning until the following Tuesday, so I had no time to fix the issue. After the weekend, my nails started lifting and chipping. It was so easy to take the polish off, it was as if I had regular polish on. Wednesday I called and asked if I could come in Saturday (4/1) to get them redone since they had chipped and peeled after less than a week. Gentleman said sure and scheduled my appointment, saying nothing about me having to pay or anything. Saturday arrive at salon for scheduled appointment and wait 15 minutes for anyone to help me. Sit down to another lady (not the original/owner who did my nails previously) and told her I was in last Thursday and my nails chipped/peeled, etc. She asks me who did my nails, I point to the owner and they start talking in their language about the situation. The owner proceeds to tell me, in more words, that basically it's my fault and maybe my nails don't take to the gel right?!? What!! I've been getting my nails done for years with zero issue. She then says, in a rude tone, she's been doing this 20 years and has never had a peeling issue with any other customers (clearly that's a lie, as another yelper complained about the same thing). She even carried on a conversation with the customer she was helping, about this situation, right next to me. They took $5 off the full price of a gel "manicure" and never apologized. Terrible business management and customer service. I will never set foot in this place again! Word of advice: should you have peeling or chipping, make sure you complain within 3 days of your service, or you pay full price for the mistake to be corrected. But really, find a different place! read more
