“Ben did a great job with my regular gel pedicure, on my first time visit to the salon.”
“There is no reason it should be ripping already if he would have not grinded off my gel builder as if it was acrylic I feel my nails wouldn’t be messed up.”
“Very relaxing, clean facility, kind and caring/gentle approach, and ensured all was my my liking throughout my service.”
“Staff was rude messed up completely on my nails and rushed the whole time”
“I recommend this place and seeing anyone, but I’ll be retuning and requesting Danny every time now!”
“Won't be back and definitely dont recommend if you want great service!”
“I also got the deluxe pedicure, which I highly recommend, the massage portion of this is worth every penny.”
“It felt rushed and overpriced for less than 30 minutes.”
“” This was for my 45th birthday, on my next day-off work.”
“…pa whenever we need our nails done or a pedicure - excellent service, great follow-up while you're there, and fantastic art!…”
“Finding a nail salon you can completely trust is a total game-changer, and Happy Nails is easily the best in town.”

I’ve been coming once a month for about 3 months now! I went yesterday and requested Danny as I heard good things and I absolutely loved how gentle and also precise in how he did my nails! He took the time and really did his best! We chatted a bit and he showed me some of his other work and I was so shocked at how well he does nails ! I recommend this place and seeing anyone, but I’ll be retuning and requesting Danny every time now!

Ben did a great job with my regular gel pedicure, on my first time visit to the salon. Very relaxing, clean facility, kind and caring/gentle approach, and ensured all was my my liking throughout my service. Will definitely go again. (For context, rarely “treat” myself to self-care/professional beauty services, so when I do, it’s a rarity and I’m hoping for a good overall “treat.” This was for my 45th birthday, on my next day-off work.)
Thank you!
