Great service. Great product. People are so friendly going back every time.
Amazing!!!! I love coming here every time, I drive over an hour for this place!!! I can’t find no one better!!!
Got a mani and pedi by Kim she’s awesome no rush. She took her time with me and I feel amazing.
The staff was very friendly I got a Pedicure and Destiny my daughter got her nails done. I got the classic pedicure and it was better than the most expensive ones I get back home she was very good. We are here on vacation and I am so glad we stopped in. Shop was clean and a peaceful atmosphere! I do recommend them!!!

My first time coming to Joy Nails and the environment is so relaxing! I absolutely loved it! ❤️❤️ Hellen and Cam were so sweet, patient, and funny! Definitely will be my vacation nail spot! See y’all soon!
First of all, I love it there and I never wanna stop going, but they are sending me 5% off and it’s almost insulting. I’m not gonna go anywhere for 5% off over another place.

Joy Nails was the first salon I tried after moving to Galveston and I have never looked back! I look forward to my nail appointments with Tina every month - she is the BEST. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind and I have never been disappointed by a set. Tina executes my vision and wishes every time and my…
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.
Ben and Annie were awesome. Very welcoming environment!! Everyone here was super nice and respectful!!
Ben is the best
