My sisters and I walked into the salon at 6:30, feeling terrible for arriving so late. But our hotel check-in took a very long time and we didn't get to check-in until hours later. We planned to get our nails done before leaving on a cruise the next morning. These ladies (and the owner) were so welcoming even though…

From out of town. Called to schedule an appointment at the very last minute. Uber driver drove slow as watching paint dry. Finally got here and LE was amazing. Everyone was professional and customer focused. Not a lot side conversations from employees. Great place.
Amazing. Never had pedicure done or manicure. Relaxing. Calm. And everyone is very sweet. Thank you for taking care of me!.
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…
We were treated very poorly. Workers were arguing and the service was awful.
I walked in asked for a mani pedi, French tip gel on my natural nails. Tammy took care to shape and fix my nails before the polish. Everyone was nice when I entered, they greeted me and it was only a short wait on a busy night. I’ll come back again!
Joy Nails is great!! Today, I had the best pedicure with hot stone massage and parrafin!! Very relaxing experience, I am coming back!!!
I usually don’t indulge, but when I do. I make sure my wife is with me. Excellent service for the price. Great job
