This was such a fantastic experience. My nails and toes look amazing and the technicians are friendly and very talented.

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!
Great friendly staff and amazing service.
Rude techs and did not appreciate their attitude when I was trying to decide between colors. Prices are very expensive and not transparent with the cost of everything
Wonderful place to get your nails done! My husband and I each got a pedicure and manicure. It was so quick and reasonably priced. It’s super relaxing, clean, and the staff are very professional. If I’m ever in town again, I will be coming back!
Ben and Tina are the best!!!! They are my go to people!! The best nail salon on the island;!! Their always super sweet and professional!!! Go check em out!!
Had a great experience here at Joy Nail 2! They are finally open and here to stay.
Greeted by the SWEETEST owners, Lynn & Caroline. Everything is spotless! Anne was so helpful and patient with color choices - there were soooo many new colors. Very professional and a mani/pedi that was super relaxing and pretty! Plenty of parking spaces was also a big plus!
I really loved this place. My first time visiting and the staff is very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area
They’re wonderful people Always love my nails
Ken and Cindy were amazing! Beautiful work and very kind people. Offered a drink when we walked in and were very warm and welcoming throughout the visit!
I got a very nice pedicure at joy nails, Tom did a great job!
We walked in and all 5 of us wanted pedicures and 3 of us wanted manicures as well. Caroline and the entire staff were kind, quick and professional. They got us all in and out and did a beautiful job on all!
Awesome experience. Will definitely come again!
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…
Caroline is the best owner, nail tech. I have been her customer for over 20 years. She's very pleasant and professional at all times.
Dan did pretty good. Apologized any time he accidentally burned the side of my toe with the sander tool to remove shellac. Could have used more muscle in the foot/leg massage to be honest, but he was nice.
I'm extremely happy here with this place. My eyebrows, my eyelashes, my nails, look wonderful.Thank you!
Joy Nails is the best on the island!
I have been coming to Joy Nails for years now. Never ever had any issues. All the staff is polite, yet professional. Fast, friendly, great service at a reasonable price!
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!!!
My kids and I have been coming here since 2016 and every time we are in town we come to see Caroline her husband and her entire staff! Some of the sweetest people I have ever met! They treat you like family and always make sure you are happy with what you have asked for! If your ever in Galveston come check them out you won’t be disappointed ❤️❤️🎄
