Day two in the mountains and I made the executive decision to embrace my true identity: lodge…read morebunny, not snow bunny. While my friends hit the slopes, I treated myself to some serious self-care--and Happy Nail Spa absolutely delivered. True spas in the area were booked months out, but I was able to snag a facial and deluxe pedicure here, and I'm so glad I did. From the outside, it looks like a typical nail salon, so I was a little hesitant about the facial--but WOW, I was pleasantly surprised. My facial lasted a full hour, and Hannah was incredible. The facial massage alone could've put me to sleep, and the attention to detail left my skin glowing and me fully relaxed. I was ready for a nap afterward in the best way. The deluxe pedicure was just as amazing. After a day of skiing, asking for some extra leg massage attention sounded tempting--but I didn't even need to ask. Between the herbal soak, sugar scrub, mud mask with hot towels, paraffin wax, volcanic hot stones, and multiple leg and foot massages throughout it all, I felt like royalty! Three different staff members helped throughout the service and every single one was kind, attentive, and skilled. My legs and feet have never felt better. Friendly staff, great service, and way more spa-like than expected. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in the mountains.

My gel mani will normally last at least two weeks, with this one I'm sure my nails will look grown out within a few days because despite repeatedly asking for the polish to cover my entire nail bed, it just didn't happen. There's a clear line without polish around most of my nails. Not happy! The space is nice and looks clean but my service felt rushed and not careful.

I went to another place in Marion to get help with my nails. I had three that were split vertically…read moreand I could not fix them. I was looking for something to hold them together long enough to grow out. I thought I will get the dip because I have had it before and I know it. They talked me into acrylic, then battered my fingers pushing back my cuticles so bad that my hands hurt for more than a week. I said short and round and I got long and pointed. By the time he was done I just wanted out. I went home and cut them down myself just so I could live with them. When they started to grow out I knew I needed to try somewhere else so I called Galaxy. They said to come in at 5pm and I hustled over. I told the gentleman what happened and what I wanted and he would take care of me. He was amazing. He did not push my cuticles back so far into my fingers that I felt my eyes water. He cleaned them up but gently. They did not hurt at all. He took the length down to short like I asked. They are actually rounded, and they are not as thick. They feel so much more comfortable. AND he put a little flower on two fingers. So cute.

Really disappointed. They booked me an appointment ahead of time for 5:40, at 6:15 they seated me…read more At 6:30 someone finally started working on my pedicure. They started soaking my nails to remove my builder gel at 6:15. I didn't know builder gel couldn't be soaked? By 6:50 I had to ask them to remove my foil wraps soaking my nails, because the product was drying on my now pushed in nails from the foil. This hurt and misshaped my nails in a really weird way. My nails are not curved and the product soaking, re drying while wrapped caused my nails to become very misshapen and painful. At 7:20 and I'd been sitting with my pedicure done for ten minutes STILL waiting for someone to remove the product from my nails. I will never come back here. They shouldn't have booked me an appointment if they couldn't actually accommodate me. As soon as I walked in they told me most of the staff were off on vacation....just don't book so many people if you can't actually provide an efficient, good quality service. I wish they wouldn't have booked me so I could've gone somewhere else and my nails wouldn't have been messed up I had to pick my son up by 8 and I didn't get out of there until almost 8:30p. Which is crazy considering they close at 7.... Their salon was dirty and the drainage lines from their pedicure chairs stink like sewage, I suspect they have a leak somewhere in their plumbing. Anyway, I will never go back. They didn't care that I had somewhere to be they didn't ask how I wanted my nails shaped and cut then beyond where they could be shaped. They had no consideration for clients times. They're just trying to quickly get to as many people as possible, which good for them, but that's not the kind of service I want

I was a walk-in customer at Hollywood Nail Spa, and while they took me back right away, that was…read morethe only positive part of the experience. The man who did my pedicure could barely understand me, which made communication frustrating from the start. More importantly, he did a terrible job. Later that night, after the lotion wore off, I realized my feet still had noticeable dead skin and hard, rough patches all over them. It honestly looked like little to no real exfoliation was done. I paid $67 plus a $10 tip for what was easily the worst pedicure I've ever had. To make matters worse, we were visiting from out of town, so I didn't have the option of going back to have it fixed. If you're not a local, you're taking a risk because there's no easy way to address poor service after the fact. I do not recommend Hollywood Nail Spa, especially if you're not from the area.
