Loved the team at joy nails. They did my manicure and pedicure at the same time. Fast and efficient! Favorite nail place in Galveston
Always great services and massage chairs
I absolutely love this place. Every time I come to Galveston, I stop by to get pampered. I like the massage chair, the classical music, the massages with hot stones, tangerine, salt, and oil, as well as the callous removal and hot towels. I love how my nails and toes look. I love the friendliness of the staff and…
Dan did pretty good. Apologized any time he accidentally burned the side of my toe with the sander tool to remove shellac. Could have used more muscle in the foot/leg massage to be honest, but he was nice.
Cindy did really good nails. Very kind and lovely.
Cindi was amazing!!!
Expertise and excellent customer service!!
This place is clean and everyone there was so nice. Helen gave me a great pedicure but OMG, she gave the absolute best leg and foot massage. I’ll definitely go back and request her.
Always have great service with jasmine
The sweetest people and cutest pink building! Great service!!
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.
I'm extremely happy here with this place. My eyebrows, my eyelashes, my nails, look wonderful.Thank you!
We came in late in the day and they took care of all four of us. We left feeling pampered and rejuvenated. Friendly and great service plus they were super knowledgeable.
Ben and Annie were awesome. Very welcoming environment!! Everyone here was super nice and respectful!!
Great time here! Got a mani pedi!
Ms. Helen is the absolute BEST! Definitely get the Volcano pedicure, 100% worth it. Mr. Ben did my daughter’s nails and they couldn’t have been more perfect! Everyone was so kind and accommodating, will definitely be returning.
