I have been coming here for some time. The employees are all very skilled and friendly. My favorite is Tina! I never go anywhere else!!!
Our yearly tradition is a girls’ trip to Galveston, and we could not begin our fun without pedicures from Joy Nails. They never disappoint. 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!
Love this place! Came in with 4 people, they already had several people in the shop and they still got to us immediately. Tina did amazing and treated my ugly little man feet well. Will definitely come back here when I’m in town.
Jasmine at Joy Nails in Galveston is the best. The customer service is superb. Jasmine is so welcoming and talented. She knows exactly what looks good and makes sure you are happy with her services.

I've been getting my nails done here for years, and I love it! They are kind and attentive and do a great job. Today I got a pedicure done by Tina, and she was awesome.
got a pedicure and gelx set, they did a great job! Tammy was so sweet and did my nails so well, making sure I liked them every step of the way! will be returning! I got the second cheapest pedicure for $35 and it was great! The nails were $65 but the gelx sets start at $55!
We found Joy Nails by accident! Saw it as we walked along the seawall🤗 They opened the door for us to come inside, even though they had not opened! Tom and Jasmine were just wonderful! My wife and I always have pedicures together for our anniversary, and we were given royal treatment!
Helen was indeed great, did detailed work and took extra care on my pedicure. Nice easy location when visiting Galveston. Would recommend!
Loved the team at joy nails. They did my manicure and pedicure at the same time. Fast and efficient! Favorite nail place in Galveston
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…

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.
On vacation and dropped in to spoil my lady. Read the reviews but once we stepped in they were fast friendly and efficient. Her nails look great! Detail oriented.
I wish I could add more stars!!! Definitely worth the visit. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and professional. If you’re in the area, don’t pass it up!
Joy Nails is a fantastic spot with a clean and relaxing atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff is friendly, attentive, and provides excellent service with great attention to detail. I always leave with beautifully done nails and a great overall experience! Best nail salon in Galveston!
I've been coming to Joy Nails for 5 years. Miss Jasmine has been my girl for three of those 5 years. She always does a great job and the owners and staff are always pleasant and professional!!!
Hands down the best nail salon on the island. They offer tons of great services which I have experienced first hand at both locations. They are always kind and treat everyone like family. Local or visiting I definitely recommend!
I love this place! I have fallen asleep several times in the chair getting my feet done. They are so sweet and do such an amazing job.
Jasmine is the kindest and most talented nail technician. She makes sure you are comfortable and always listens to my requests. If you want a place that is clean, friendly, and full of great talent, then Joy Nails is for you. Ask for Jasmine. You will have a delightful time.
Caroline did an amazing job and did exactly what I wanted on my nails!! Great environment and experience besides a slight wait time!
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 !
The ladies were so nice that worked on my Mom and I. They took their time for our pedicures. We were there on vacation for my birthday and it was a real treat to get the deluxe. I recommend it because of the paraffin wax makes your feet feel amazing! Great place cannot wait to go back during the summer and get my feet done again!
