So overpriced for such a lousy, regular mani pedi. Since COVID start, I've had few nail services, except when I was in NYC for work. Some perspective: regular mani pedi in NYC is $35; $25 in outer boros of NYC during this pandemic. This was $45. Granted, I was a walk-in who happily waited 20 mins and brought my own polish for toes only. Irrespective of walk-in status, it was a rushed and lazy application. I am a perm St Auggie Bch resident (part-time NYC) and will NEVER come here again. read more

I guess there are new owners now because yesterday I went to get a regular gel acrylic manicure , and the lady who worked there was so beyond rude to me. They would pull me forward a bit violently to get me to stop moving, and they charged 65 damn dollars. you can get an acrylic gel manicure for 40-45 somehwere else. I also asked why she upcharged me so much and she literally said "you got too much color." Don't work at a nail salon if you are going to complain about your job :) read more

Always a great place to come to. Service is attentive and has excellent quality. I have been coming here for years.

I went here as a last minute visit and they were very accommodating. I was visiting from out of town and never get my nails done anywhere except my regular salon. He did a great job on my nails. They looked even better than they usually do. I was very pleased. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would! This place is AWFUL. The owner has horrible customer service, he does lousy nails, and he'll call you picky if you ask him to fix HIS errors. Super overpriced for absolutely mediocre sloppy work. Pick somewhere else, the negative reviews are 100% true. Going to the salon should be relaxing, I was on edge counting down the seconds till my pedicure was over. I should've ran out the door the second I got greeted with "what do you need?" and not a welcome! How are you today? read more

The gentleman that did my nails did an amazing job! I had a gel mani and pedi. He took his time and was very precise. I would recommend this place! read more

I have never been treated so disrespectful at a business or had a worse manicure. My nails were done super fast and aggressively with no attention to detail. I have bleeding cuticles and my nails are more uneven than what I came in with. I told him I don't like them and wanted them redone (which I have never done before) and he proceeded to argue with me, blame it on me and tell me whatever I decide I still have to pay full price. Awful customer service, awful nails. read more

Terrible customer service. Rude, and unprofessional. They actually cut my wife's big until it bled. No apologies, blamed my wife for asking for short trim. No wonder they are so slow. read more

Should change their name to nails so angry. I have never come across a ruder human being. The man at this shop basically bullied us the entire time we were getting our toes done. My mom didn't even get her nails done. & the group behind us also left. Beyond bizarre experience. Incredibly rude service and the woman just backed up his horrible behavior. So odd. read more

My girlfriend and I came in here with our family and we got dip color with many different colors. The staff was amazing and our nails turned out amazing! Thank you so much! read more

Made an appointment over the phone, got there 10min before the scheduled appointment time, and was blown off and said it would be another 45min after I had to approach someone and stood there for 10min. No thanks, will go somewhere else who appreciates my money and knows how to treat people. read more

For over 12 years, I have been going to this salon with no issues - always feeling like I was going to visit my second family. The family that used to own it was funny, loved listening to good music, and cared so much about their shop and customers. I was nervous when I heard they had made the difficult decision to sell the shop but supported their decision as to what's best for their family. The first visit under new ownership was the polar opposite how I normally felt going in and I feel everyone should know about it. The work stations had been moved around to be much more closed off, instead of an open everyone-can-talk-to-everyone kind of feel. There was very low energy - not that I expected a welcome parade by any means - but the fun-loving atmosphere was definitely gone. I felt very unwelcome by the new staff members I interacted with. As soon as I told the new owner I had an appointment already scheduled he said nothing and turned away from me - no offer to have a seat or if I need to look at colors or anything All the new staff members actively avoided me after that. They clearly have no interest in keeping the personal family-like business that the previous owners has built and that's unfortunate. I hope to find out where the previous owner is taking her family. I'd much rather follow them then stay around and be treated so indifferently by the new owners. read more

Went in just to have nails cut and filed. Left with uneven nails, rough filed nails, and sharp edges. Will not be a repeat customer.

Came here last minute for a full set along with a pedicure and everyone was extremely friendly & accommodating. Steven did an amazing on my nails and will definitely be coming back. read more

First time there and they put a bowl of acetone on my lap and put both hands in for the entire 45 min pedicure. Poor results, no attention to skin and were not so happy nails. My daughters nails had air bubbles in the suns nails. Don't go here! read more

Non-sterile instruments! I came for a pedicure and gel manicure. Pedicure was fine, not much effort was used to remove dead skin on my feet but it was fine. Manicure was a big nope. Pulled out instruments from a drawer with other people's skin on it. I should've said no thank you and left but I didn't. He soaked my hands for about 5 seconds before saying there was no cuticle to remove. Gel application was messy, very rough and not relaxing at all. Didn't give a massage at the end of the service and still charged for a manicure although cuticles weren't removed and massage not given. Was offended when I didn't want to pay for the manicure fee. Will not be returning. read more

If I could give this place a negative star, I would. I've been going there for years. Lon always did my nails. This guy who took over is the biggest jackass. He nickel and dimes every single thing. I go to get my nails filled, he tells me would rather just take them all off and start again. I said, no, I want them filled so he proceeds to do a really crappy job. I finally just got up and left. The last three times that I've gone there, I said I'll never go there again this time for sure. be aware and make sure you look at their nail menu and check the pricing because he tries to change the prices, too. read more

Love Steve and his wife angel. They both do a great job. I have had numerous powder manicures and gel pedicure. Both amazing job.

Undecided after my first visit. Moving to the area from CO, it's always tricky finding "your person" whether it comes to hair, massage or nails. Super easy location- a 5 min drive from my house and a Starbucks is right there. Salon is clean which is a priority. I booked an appt the day prior so they were on time ready for me. The gentleman who did my pedi was a bit awkward and wasn't the most skilled. Multiple times I had to stop him from delivering painful filing or cuticle nipping... ouch. He threw his tools into my water while I was still soaking. Not liking that at all. The paint job was pretty sloppy. I had to touch it up when I got home. The foot massage was weak. Not impressed. The tech next to mine looked like she knew her stuff. Was engaging to her client, seemed very skilled and I was jealous of the foot massage her client was getting. My guy did both of my feet at the same time and it was more like jiggle here jiggle there. Within 2 min He was finished but the lucky gal next to me was still getting her first foot done!!! I was moved to the manicure table and was trying to figure out how I could politely request another person to do it!! Thankfully a sweet gal was the tech and she did a pretty nice job. Nothing painful and Polish was nicely applied. She was good. The staff likes to talk in Vietnamese too much.. they ask you a question but then talk in their language to one another and they all start laughing... hmmmm?!? What's up?!? You talking smack about me or just casually chatting about the weather? Not the easiest of environments with that weirdness. All in all it was ok. Not sure if it's my person or my place but maybe that one tech would rock it next time. Being new to St Augustine, I will keeping looking around before I head back in. 58 bucks for many/pedi. Decently priced but I am having to clean up my toes... always fun with my crappy eyesight. Update: This morning I woke up with sore toe. The tech cut my toenails so short and they are throbbing. The cuticle area is red and raw. This is not my place. read more

Cherish did an excellent job on my toes and her nail art was perfect! Will go nack the next time we're down here. read more

Never in my life have I been charged $50 for a set of acrylics. Especially if I have to pick the excess acrylic out from under my nails. Make sure to ask prices ahead of time. They charge much more than any other place I have ever been. On top of all that, the guy cut my fingers with the tool in multiple spots. read more

Southern people are hard core when it comes to getting their nails done. Dorian and I came here for a little Sunday morning beautification, and loved every minute of it. They did a great job on our fingers and toes, and we got the local gossip as well. It's a really family run business, and the kids (probably all between 18-23) work as certified nail techs. They were clearly enjoying it, and took pride in their work. It was a really nice environment, and there was family getting their toes done, including a father and a seven year old girl, who decided her dad needed green toes. Very cute and an inviting place to go. read more

The good: They were able to accommodate a large group The prices were fair. Place was very clean Staff were very nice Great atmosphere The bad: They had a sign in book did didn't really seem to going off of it. read more

well, this bitch cleo fucked up my friends nail, she couldnt speak english, she left clumps, she didnt do the cuticle, she was giving attitude, she didnt dry the nails, and she was ugly asf.. and her breath stank. it also wasnt the hoco dress color which was lettuce green. read more

Best pedicure. Ever. I was visiting family so my sister in law and I decided to have some girl time together and get our toes done. It wasn't exactly a "spa pedicure" (I don't even remember the massage and there weren't any frills) but my toes have never looked better. We went to the beach the next day, I wore sandals my whole trip and did lots of walking and even with all of that plus it's now been almost two weeks since I was here, my toes still look perfect! No chips or smudges. I told her I would have to start visiting her regularly just to get my toes done, ha. read more

To be honest, 2 stars is very generous! Stopped in for the first time cause I thought I'd give it a chance. The man who did my nails was rude and did a horrible job on my dip manicure. I asked to match my toes with my dip manicure and ended up with two different colors. For the absurd amount of money I paid he should have at least let me leave with the two separators but I wasn't event even allowed to do that. The women was nice but the man really rubbed be the wrong way. I don't recommend! read more

No one wants to spend a beautiful vacation day at the salon but I broke a nail. They got me in and out super fast and did a great job. Now back to the beach! read more

Been to this place dozens of times and today I am told they can't put a tip on a nail, the same thing they have done EVERY single time I have been there. The owner is a complete jerk he will never get my business again nor my girls when they come visit! read more

Nails were not shaped the same. They all look different. The thickness of each nail is different and uneven throughout the nail. They chipped within a week. But, they haven't broken. read more

I followed Steven to this Nail-so-Happy Salon as I'm a loyal customer of Steven. He has been doing my nails for many years now and I have never had any broken nails or fungus issues when he has done my nails. I see him every three weeks and my nails have always been PERFECT!! I also get many compliments a day on his work. I highly recommend him to all my girls that I work with as well as customers who inquire about who does my nails. He keeps his salon very clean and uses only the best products. I have always told Steven that when he stops doing nails that will be the day I stop getting them done. He IS that GOOD!! Did I mention that I drive an hour to get to his salon? Yes, I drive an hour to get my nails done and it is well worth the drive... read more

My family and I have been going to get our nails done at Nails So Happy for several years now. The staff always did an excellent job and would also make sure they were giving you what you want. They were welcoming, gave the best advice when it came to what would be best for your nails and not push you to get something just to spend more. I have been once ever since they got the new owners and it was horrible. They were rude, pushed me to get something more expensive then what I wanted, snapped at me when I asked them to reshape my nails, gave me attitude the whole time. I just couldnt wait to get out of there. Too bad because this place was the best before they owned it. read more

I took my grandmother here to get her nails done and it cost only $12 and they were really nice! The space where this is located is not luxurious, but there is plenty of parking in the parking lot and it's just so convenient and inexpensive, I could not give less than five stars. These guys managed to work us in to a busy schedule with only about one minute of waiting. Loved it! read more

Len is the absolute best! We came here for a wedding party and he was so funny and did an amazing job on my nails! Highly recommend

Normally, I don't have my nails done while on vacation, but the timing was such that I needed a fill. Popped in, they were busy so I made an appointment for later in the day. I went back and was promptly seated. My tech was personable and we had a nice chat while he worked on me. He did an excellent job, very contentious. The charge was $38 for fill and shellac. It's $35 at home, so I considered this reasonable. Everyone in the salon seemed pleasant, I chatted with the girl next to me, all the clients appeared to be enjoying their services. I recommend making an appointment. I will definitely be back next year. LOL, he was not contentious at all....stupid autocorrect. It won't let me change it read more

Well, I went back again due to receiving a gift card. My toe was nipped again, was bleeding. Unfriendly man, not busy at all. Rushed through my pedicure, massaged cream into calves very hard, not pleasant at all. Took start to finish 20 min. and raised the price now to $30.00. Doing 3 people he makes $90.00 an hour. For sure not going back. Looking for a better place. read more
