Their pedicures are meticulously done, and the leg and foot massage are so relaxing. The salon is always clean, and the employees are welcoming. We love Joy Nails!

Pedicures
Ben always does a great job on my nails. The atmosphere is always inviting and friendly.
Awesome place! Pedicure was best we ever had!
Tammy is awesome here! The owner is amazing too. She tried to preserve my nails during take down and I only lost one. Like that they are loud about their faith and they talk to everyone so nicely. They don’t rush through your appointments and take walk ins too. This is a gem in Galveston.
I showed them my inspo nail design from pinterest and they followed exactly! Very fast as well
Ben is the best

I love Joy Nails! Everyone is so professional and friendly! Have been a customer for many years and will continue to support them!!
I usually go to Joy Nails II when I am in town, but today I went to Joy Nails on 61st street. I had a terrific 30 minute foot and calf massage along with my pedicure! Definitely worth the price and the time spent! The staff are so kind and friendly! I noticed on their wall that they have received many awards for best nail salon !
I always go to Joy Nails. They are prompt and friendly, and when I ask for special top coats, or they have to try to figure out what I want, they always come through. I've tried other salons in town when Joy Nails is full, but I have quit doing thar because i really never have to wait too long, and I have had bad…
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!
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.
