It's very clean establishment. They take in walk-ins. The prices are reasonable and you can find people that you can understand and communicate with
Wonderful, beautiful people, take time with you and they seems to be proud of there work. I’m satisfied and “YES” I would go back, if and when I’m in that area again. The boss who is the owner is outstanding. Man of God.
Great place! Clean and they are friendly
Got my wedding nails done here and they did an amazing job! Will definitely come back!
This was such a fantastic experience. My nails and toes look amazing and the technicians are friendly and very talented. This is the second time we have come to Galveston with a group and our second time to get pampered by Joy Nails. We brought 14 ladies and the staff were well prepared and worked us in…
Joy Nails is the best nail salon on the island by far! Every employee is talented and professional. The salon is always clean and the results are amazing every time. I always will suggest Joy Nails to anyone looking for top notch service. I have been a loyal customer for years and will always come back.
Ben was fantastic! Great nail place, everyone is so sweet and accommodating.
My absolute favorite place to get my nails done! Beautiful environment, the kindest owners and Jasmine is my nail guru. Love coming here every 2 weeks.
Such a relaxing place and everyone was so nice! Ken is awesome! He was so kind and gave the most relaxing foot massage!
Such a great experience! We came in very last minute, were greeted right away and started nail treatment with no waiting! The owner stopped to chat and told us the history of Joy Nails. Very friendly staff and just a lovely experience overall!
Amazing! Definitely be back!
