First time coming here and I loved itt! Workers were very nice and caring.
I have lived in Galveston for 14 years. This experience was exceptional! I made the appointment and as soon as I arrived they received me. There was no waiting. I had a pedicure with shellac and a fill. They performed both services simultaneously, which was greatly appreciated. It was a calm, relaxing environment…
Islander’s favorite! I’ve been coming to Joy-1 regularly for years. Caroline and her staff are very experienced, their prices are perfect, and they’re easy to find at 61st & Seawall. Highly recommended!
