Mia was my nail tech and she did an amazing job with my manicure and pedicure. She did exactly what I requested. I’m in town this weekend for a wedding and desperately needed my nails done. I was a walk in appointment and they were able to accommodate me right away. She was so welcoming and friendly through out the whole appointment and gave me a lot of nail related advice. Would highly recommend to anyone!

This may be the best manicure I have ever received. I am so incredibly impressed by this salon! John the owner did my nails and the attention to detail, time, and care he put into these nails is truly remarkable. Mind you these nails cost me only $60….. I am from the suburbs of Chicago and I nearly fell backward at the price because of how affordable these nails were. I’m genuinely devastated I am not from here. I don’t think any other salons can top this! Don’t be deceived, they are open, just under construction.

All the stars! I just had the most fabulous gel mani-pedi with Kevin at Nails So Happy, and I’m still admiring my nails like they’re tiny works of art. Kevin is a true gem - time efficient without ever rushing, precise, and full of warm, uplifting energy that made the whole experience a joy. Fun conversation about travel and life. My nails look stunning - glossy, clean, and flawlessly shaped. He has such a talent for detail, and you can tell he truly cares about his work. Bonus is his vibe is calm, grounded, and kind - just what you want when you're treating yourself. Highly recommend booking with Kevin if you want to leave feeling pampered, polished, and totally radiant. 💅✨

Was my 1st time getting my nails done here. I have zero complaints. John did an amazing job and made me feel so good being there. I just moved to St. Augustine and I am happy I found a nail place that is welcoming and super nice! Highly recommend!

THEY ARE OPEN! Don’t let the construction fool you. We’re in town for a wedding and I got a fantastic SNS manicure from Mia. My mom got a great French SNS manicure from Kevin. My sister’s gel manicurist was great too, though I didn’t get her name. As someone who regularly gets their nails done, I was nervous about going somewhere else I wasn’t familiar with. They did not disappoint!!
