Excellent service and facility!!
Mimi did a fantastic job! Had mani pedi and eyebrows
I really enjoy Joy Nails II. They are thorough and professional. I like seeing the water while being pampered.
Jasmine is the best. Great service!!
My friend I came in for pedicures. David did an excellent job on our toes. He was professional as well as courteous! Will definitely return.
I convinced my husband to get his first pedicure with me, he’s typically shy since he has psoriasis, but the staff was so accommodating and reassuring. They kept checking in with him with each step for his comfort level, he walked out happy and relieved! I wish I can take them with me back to Dallas. Thank you!!…
My favorite place and my favorite people. I drive 100 miles each direction to have my nails done. Yes, that’s crazy but I won’t give up Tammy.
Tom usually takes care of me and he is great. Today with no appointment, I got Kim Gold. Language barrier but she is great. I do gel on my toes. They have this new paint on polish and it’s great for removing the gel. Their towels are soft, not scratchy, Love that! I asked and they put softener in the wash 💖…
Great pedicure and friendly staff. David gives an awesome massage!!
Very friendly staff! And I had an amazing pedicure by Mr. Can!
Thanks for making sure the water is always hot, not to point that it's uncomfortable, but soothing. Thanks for always listening to the customers.
The lady took her time and I appreciate that 😊
Stopped in for a pedi and mani and was really spoiled! Great service, nice, peaceful atmosphere, and the young man who greeted and seated me offered me a cold drink. The technicians are all about the customer, I got some extra massage time and my favorite, a sugar scrub! Reasonably priced with excellent services! I…
Update: I’ve been going here pretty consistently since my first review, but unfortunately won’t be returning after my last visit. A few of the nail techs are very good, but many of my recent visits were rushed. At my last visit, the nail tech was inpatient and honestly very rude to me. After painting the shellac on…
Service was great my grandson was also happy with his pedi now time to sail on😉
Do a great job but prices are really going up. I chose this location as prices were reasonable, now they are just as pricey as all other shops.
Tammy was my tech. I received a mani, pedi, and brow wax. Very patient and detailed. Tammy explained everything she was doing, which I appreciated. The business was very clean and all staff were smiling and friendly. There was a very positive vibe while sitting there. The lady that did my pedi, sorry I didn't get…
Great service. Did exactly as asked. Will be recommending to friends.
Keily and Ann always do my nails wonderfully! Great service, with a great view!
Joy Nails is the best in Galveston! Both locations are GREAT!
Best Pedicure on the Island!!!
I always love coming to Joy Nails when I’m in town! They truly live up to their name :) All the nail technicians are so kind and friendly. I’d highly recommend to anyone wanting top notch treatment!
I love coming to Joy Nails! I got a mani and pedi and they did such a great job. Everyone is very friendly and sweet. 10/10 recommend!
Great staff and customer service ❤️ Highly recommend!!!! Thank you!🙂
Love Joy Nails II- I have been going here for 8 years. I recommend you make an appointment for peak days/times! They are so popular.
Terrible customer service . Ladies treated my daughter and I terrible . I got a Mani Pedi , missing spots of polish chipped already and they charged me alot for nothing . When I asked about the charges the guy at the register proceeded to talk to my minor child , asking her to add the math up . Very very insulting…
This was our first time having mani and pedi done at Joy Nail II in Galveston, TX. I and my husband were very pleased with their services. I had white and pink Ombre for my fingernails and French tip for my toes. It turned out perfectly good looking. The nail technicians for me were Kelly and Helen (I think that…
The nail girl did Great the pedicure lady older with glasses didn't match my nails I let them know, they didn't ask if I wanted a redo wasn't happy about that and didn't ask if I wanted a design but I asked for one they didn't do a great job on that either.
I only ever go to modern nails in Galveston. They’ve always given me the best service and nail experience. But, modern nails had an hour wait and I’ve only ever heard good things about joy nails so I went there today. Worst pedicure of my life. They didn’t even exfoliate my feet or put any products whatsoever on my…
Great place!!
Always an excellent experience! We travel all the way from Deer Park for the best pedicure
if I could give them 0 stars I would. This was one of the worst experiences for me. I got there around noon, they weren’t busy at all. it was just me and another lady. I asked for just a pedicure and the lady kept trying to give me a full set of nails when I kept saying no thank you. The pedicure tech. didn’t care…
I worked until 6pm today working on the East end so of course I was in a hurry as the salon closes at 7pm. Let me say this, I walked in at 6:35 pm and she was about to take off. The lady HAPPILY took me in for a mani/pedi. Not knowing that life has been tough lately. I needed this pamper time and she made my entire…
The website does not reflect what the store looks like inside. Very crowded and overall worn look to it. The very loud lady that greets everyone did my toe nails and for some reason she used this scraper tool that ruined my nails. I am still waiting for the damage she did to grow out. She was very aggressive and did…
Had such a great experience with them tonight! They were so nice and got 5 of us in and out in only an hour! Couldn’t have asked for better.
The Lady I had was Sou she did an amazing pedicure she took her time and really did an amazing job not only did she do an amazing massage she took her time the whole time and never rushed. She also matched my nails to my toes and was super friendly she laid me back and made me relaxed. She even added stars on my…
Caroline and staff do an incredible job! Best and most professional salon in Galveston County!
After many months, I'm getting a pedicure with gold metallic gel polish. Bless her heart, she's earning EVERY PENNY...😂
Stopped here before leaving on a cruise...specifically picked them because they had pictures of art work. The guy that did my nails offered stickers, I am not a child. Then he didn't like what the art looked like so he took it off and refused to do art work on my nails. He did not offer to have someone do it, when I…
I’m not from Galveston,but when I do come back, I’ll be going here again!! Best Pedicure and Nail fill..So very nice and friendly, can’t beat the view of the water either! Anne was great!
