The best Spa pedicure was excellently done by Tina as usual. I am relaxed and pampered. Tina always give the best massage. Thank you Tina.
The staff at Joy Nails is so friendly and kind. Tom did my pedicure and made sure that I was ok at each step. I’m in town visiting for work but if I ever come back, I know where to go.
My sisters and I walked into the salon at 6:30, feeling terrible for arriving so late. But our hotel check-in took a very long time and we didn't get to check-in until hours later. We planned to get our nails done before leaving on a cruise the next morning. These ladies (and the owner) were so welcoming even though…
Came here for my first pedicure in my life, I had Mr. T and he was awesome. Hot wax hot stone was awesome.
I was seen promptly, I was seated as soon as I walked in for me pedicure. My tech was friendly and carried a great conversation with me, and he did a great job on my manicure.
Excellent service. We came in without an appointment and were still seated quickly for pedicures. Kind and attentive staff.
Service is always great when we come to get pedicures. They treat their clients very well.
Can is the absolute best! My nails and toes always look amazing!
Great massage!!
My over all experience has always been AMAZING!!!!! Everyone is always respectful and patient. I’ve not been to another nail shop since I’ve started coming here. A major 10/10 experience!!!!!!!
Jasmin was great! It was pretty busy, but still helped me right away! Took their time and loved the color and environment! Since moving to the island this is my new nail place!
We came in from four different states and had a great time with wonderful service. Tammy was so patient and did a great job!

This is my first time ever getting a mani pedi. Tammy did an awesome job!! I'll be back!
I had a pedi last week back home. While I was in Galveston I decided to have a fresh pedi because the other didn't look so good. Before Tammy gave the message the pedi already looked so so much better! Thank you Tammy! You did a beautiful job!
A clean and friendly place! Can did my pedicure and it was a nice treat!
great customer service!!! and did a very good job on gel pedicure! super quick to squeeze us in without an appointment as well!!!
They close at 7pm, myself and 2 others came in at 6:15pm and they were inviting and welcomed us in. We were taken care of right away and we felt very relaxed. I almost fell asleep while she was doing my pedicure! Haha, but we had just came off a cruise and were very tired. Great experience! We would come back again, thank you!

My daughter and I are in town, and thankfully found Joy Nails! It was a wonderful experience! Can did a perfect job on my nails - and the other gentlemen who did my daughter’s nails and the two ladies who did our pedicures were great. We plan to make this a tradition every summer when we come visit!
Comfortable, fast and great price!
Wonderful services as always 💯❗️Chrome finish over bubble bath French by Caroline 💕

I always love frequenting Joy’s nails, they do a great job with reasonable prices!
The pedicures are the best on the island, hot stones massage, paraffin foot mold, wonderful massage. Love this place
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…
Awesome pedicure at such a great price! The staff was very friendly too!
Had such a wonderful experience! My feet were done with such care and I got exactly what I asked for. This place is run by kind people. Definitely recommend coming here!
Best pedicure in Texas. Relaxing. Clean shop. Nice people. Great prices. My favorite time of the month.
Very nice place and very good people
Me and my daughter went at 4 on a Thursday my daugthers acrylics are not straight and they got gel polish all over her skin. The old man that worked on me was extremely sweet however I’m missing polish on my nails, he didn’t cover the whole nail.his hands were very shaky I felt bad for him. $200 for both of us and it just wasn’t good enough for $200
Went with my husband during our honeymoon to get pedicures and everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Tina was amazing and gave us some great recommendations for things to do during our stay! Amazing service!
Tina done a great job on my foot.Thanks
Love love love my nails definitely recommend
Tom completed my pedicure and was gentle and nice. Would come back!
The service they gave me was incredible. They were very attentive and kind.
Siempre muy buena atención y amabilidad por parte de todos ellos
This was soooo nice. I really loved how they give you what you want and accommodate to everyone's needs. I also loved how clean it was! Everyone is super nice and I was able to get in fast. The massage was so good too! Overall a very good experience!
Super sweet employees and very attentive! Also very flexible!
From out of town. Called to schedule an appointment at the very last minute. Uber driver drove slow as watching paint dry. Finally got here and LE was amazing. Everyone was professional and customer focused. Not a lot side conversations from employees. Great place.
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.
I called them because I was in town with friends and needed a pedicure. They were able to accommodate me at soon as I arrived. Very nice and patient with my requests. Definitely recommend!
My daughter and I got pedicures together and it was amazing! The chilled orange slice rub was something I’ve never had before but LOVED! I’d go back again without hesitation! Highly recommend!
My Go to Place! Always a Pleasure, Thank you.
They were so friendly and the environment felt very positive and fun. Getting our nails done here was a great addition to our spring break vacation!
This was a great experience, my nail tech was a wonderful woman. Overall this experience was one I will remember on my break. 10/10 would recommend!
Mr. Thanh was great at Joy Nails II!!
Amazing. Never had pedicure done or manicure. Relaxing. Calm. And everyone is very sweet. Thank you for taking care of me!.
The staff were great! Came here for spring break and they recommended good places to visit as-well. We got simple pedicures but they turned out great!
Great place for a pedicure!
Great service! Everyone is super sweet I love to come here with my Oma 💗
I love Joy Nails! Tammy is the best nail technician!! I’ve been receiving pedicures and manicures by Tammy for 10+years! Friendly, polite and very courteous! Thank you!!!
I always have a great experience when I receive services here. They provide friendly, excellent customer service.
Do yourself a favor and go to Nail and Spa of Texas instead!! I would have given a "4" after our pedicures, they were okay, and the ladies were friendly. The reason for the "1" rating is, when my pedicure was finished, the man and woman started arguing about who would take me next. The lady walked up to me and told…
We were treated very poorly. Workers were arguing and the service was awful.
I walked in asked for a mani pedi, French tip gel on my natural nails. Tammy took care to shape and fix my nails before the polish. Everyone was nice when I entered, they greeted me and it was only a short wait on a busy night. I’ll come back again!
Joy Nails is great!! Today, I had the best pedicure with hot stone massage and parrafin!! Very relaxing experience, I am coming back!!!
Great staff, welcoming environment, and excellent pedicure!
Very nice salon, they were so kind and offer refreshments. Mr. Kan was amazing and took care of me very well and did a good job very gentle. Highly recommend!
Owner and Ms Tammy were such a pleasure . She has a bubbly , sweet demeanor and she made my first time visiting feel very at home . I will definitely be returning :)
I usually don’t indulge, but when I do. I make sure my wife is with me. Excellent service for the price. Great job
Excellent experience. Tammy & Jasmine are definitely artists!! Best Nail Salon Ever!!
Wonderful experience! My daughter and I stopped in while on vacation for a little mommy/daughter pampering. Pedicures were AWESOME, and the whole staff was super friendly. Would definitely come back next time we’re on the island.

Been coming to Joy Nails I & II for the longest time and couldn’t be happier with the quality of the services!
Hello, after reading all the reviews and deciding it would be a great place to visit since moving back to the island I was discouraged after leaving. Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. Although The woman who did my pedicure was very friendly, the quality of the pedicure was not what the price or description…
Great service very friendly people
Wonderful!
Such a relaxing place and everyone was so nice! Ken is awesome! He was so kind and gave the most relaxing foot massage!
I had a great experience at Anne Pedicure. Anne is incredibly friendly, professional, and really takes her time to make sure everything is done perfectly. The space is clean, relaxing, and never feels rushed. My pedicure turned out amazing and lasted longer than usual, which says a lot about the quality of her work.…
Tom did a great job with my pedicure, and the entire staff was fantastic. As a man with truly terrible feet, they somehow made me feel completely comfortable before my cruise.
Tom did a great job! This was my first time here and I’ll definitely be back. Every time I come I get amazing service! Only place in town I’ll go.
Very relaxing
Such great service every time we stop in for our girls weekend!
Fast and friendly!

🌟 Joy Nails II – Galveston’s Warmest Welcome & Flawless Pedicure 🌟 Visiting from out of town, I stumbled upon Joy Nails II and was instantly embraced with the kind of hospitality that makes a place unforgettable.

Really liked coming here! I believe it was jasmine who did my pedicure, and she did a lovely job! Made sure I was comfortable throughout the experience, and even added some cute flowers to my toes. I will definitely be coming back!
If you are looking for a place to get your toes done while you are on vacation, this is the place! Jasmine did my toes and she was amazing!! They take their time and make sure you are comfortable so that you can relax. They are very attentive to your needs and are very patient when you can’t decide on a color lol.

Tina was great
Culng is a really nice guy and does a good job
Relaxing atmosphere with great services!
So happy we chose Joy Nails during our visit to Galveston. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. This was the best pedicure I’ve ever have. I chose a citrus pedi and the tech took her time, confirmed pressure and temperature was good. Loved that she used fresh oranges too.
Great experience, well staffed and friendly!
Love this place! Always come in with the wife before a cruise!!!!! Ann and coung are the best!!!!
Great service and friendly staff
I really loved this place. My first time visiting and the staff is very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area
What a ‘joy’ it was to visit Joy nails today! The friendliest salon I have gone to in a over 20 years across the states. Tammy was amazing!
They’re wonderful people Always love my nails
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!!!
Great pedicure!!
I visited this salon about 1 week after having surgery. It was the first day I felt like getting out of the house. The tech asked very nosey questions, very persistently about my surgery and what I had done. She asked 3 times and then proceeded to fuss at me for being out of the house after surgery. This woman…
Really good experiences! Ben and Helen are my favorite! Ben for manicures and Helen for pedicures!!
Professional and very friendly, Helen did an excellent job on my pedicure.
The staff is very sweet and did an excellent job!
Kim was amazing! Probably the best pedicure I’ve ever had in Galveston, and I’ve been to many nail salons! Make sure to extend your massage because it was so worth it!!!!!
They stayed open past closing time so my husband and I could get pedicures. Great customer service!
Joy nails is very friendly and does a job, very clean.
Kim here is wonderful for pedicures!
Tammy did a wonderful job on my nails and pedicure! I love designs and stone work and she didn't let me down. They are very clean, and so kind. I'm pretty picky about my acrylic nails and she didn't get frustrated with any request I made. I am about 2 hrs away but it's definitely worth the drive and I will be back!
Joy Nails always provides great service. No appointments needed, I prefer to make an appointment. Helen is kind and courteous. Love my mani and pedi!!
Love this place! Great customer service. They quickly get you in for whatever service you need. A+ Should definitely check this place out!
I’ve been here twice and they are so friendly and my nails stay polished and looking good for about three weeks.
Can is awesome. Always!
Jasmine did an amazing job on my pedicure.
Born and raised in Galveston and by far my favorite nail place! Love this place and people! They are always helping walk-ins and doing great work! I got my nails done by Kim and Lin, and i absolutely loved them.
This is our go to place for pedicures. We love how clean it is and the staff is so friendly. We were just treated to pedicures from Tom, Jasmine, and Helen and all did a great job. Very relaxing!
