Ben always does such a great job! I’ll keep coming back for him.
This is my first time ever getting a mani pedi. Tammy did an awesome job!! I'll be back!
So kind and attentive! We were visiting from out of town and had a wonderful experience.
I’ve tried other nail salons, I prefer Joy Nails on 61st
Always a great experience at Joy!
My daughter and I are in town, and thankfully found Joy Nails! It was a wonderful experience! Can did a perfect job on my nails - and the other gentlemen who did my daughter’s nails and the two ladies who did our pedicures were great. We plan to make this a tradition every summer when we come visit!
Tom gave me a pedicure today and did a beautiful job! I've been going to Ben for my manicures and am always pleased with his work. He's the ultimate expert!
I’ve been a customer over 5 years now. Always great customer service and great nail work. If you never tried them it is a must.
Do yourself a favor and go to Nail and Spa of Texas instead!! I would have given a "4" after our pedicures, they were okay, and the ladies were friendly. The reason for the "1" rating is, when my pedicure was finished, the man and woman started arguing about who would take me next. The lady walked up to me and told…
I think this may be one of the only places on the island to get your eyebrows threaded. They do a great job! I’ve also gotten my nails done here several times and they always do great. Check out my engagement nails!
My absolute favorite place to get my nails done! Beautiful environment, the kindest owners and Jasmine is my nail guru. Love coming here every 2 weeks.
Wonderful!
I flew in for a trip and made an appointment right away and they were able to get me in without any hesitation. The place is incredibly clean and the owner was so nice. Tammy did my nails and she was so kind and skilled. Great experience!
Wonderful place to get your nails done! My husband and I each got a pedicure and manicure. It was so quick and reasonably priced. It’s super relaxing, clean, and the staff are very professional. If I’m ever in town again, I will be coming back!

Very happy!!! Did exactly what I asked for. Definitely will be my nail place!!!
Greeted by the SWEETEST owners, Lynn & Caroline. Everything is spotless! Anne was so helpful and patient with color choices - there were soooo many new colors. Very professional and a mani/pedi that was super relaxing and pretty! Plenty of parking spaces was also a big plus!
I really loved this place. My first time visiting and the staff is very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area
What a ‘joy’ it was to visit Joy nails today! The friendliest salon I have gone to in a over 20 years across the states. Tammy was amazing!

Ben at Joy Nails in Galveston TX is fantastic! Great job on my nails!
Always a great experience. Staff is friendly and I always get compliments on my nails. I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Excellent service! They were so kind and accommodating! I wanted to change my nail color halfway through my service and they didn’t even blink and even brought me multiple options! The best place to go on the island- no contest!
Caroline does beautiful nails! Very kind & professional!
Ben always does my nails and does an amazing job. Tim did my toes today and did a great job. I love joy nails. I’ve had Helen do my toes as well before.
Amazing!!I love Joy Nails!! They are so sweet and very talented.
Joy Nails is my favorite nail salon on the island by far! The owners are wonderful people, and they along with their staff take great care of their customers.
Mr. Can did an amazing job on my nails and nail art! Beautiful! I’ll be back.
Me and my husband have been coming to Joy Nails2 for years. Tammy has been great and also do a great job.
My absolute favorite nail salon . I have heen going for 7 years . Helen & Can take care of me every single time . I travel for one of my hobs and tried salons around united states and always come back !
I've been coming to this place off and on for about 8 years. I've always loved the service. Everyone is so friendly, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. I have enjoyed a few different kinds of nail services with them and they keep me coming back! Absolutely recommend!
Very pleased. Had polish change on toes and dip on hands. Caroline was very accommodating for me as we were getting ready to go on a cruise and my nails I had done before leaving home was not a quality job. Will make a point to come here before my next cruise. She did a fabulous job. Clean shop, relaxing music. Thank you Caroline!!
Y’all, Caroline is amazing. I have had every nail technique done and there is nothing she can't do. The whole staff is top notch. Dana & Tom are the bombs, too. Go see for yourself. I highly recommend.
