Happy Nails Bar and Spa

We first met Jocelyn about a month ago at Happy Nail in Wayne, NJ, after having a disappointing experience at another salon. I was particularly worried because my 14-year-old daughter had tried gel extensions before, and I didn’t want her to have something harmful or too complicated again. From our very first appointment, Jocelyn was amazing. She spent time with my daughter, looked through different pictures, and truly listened to what she wanted. They chatted and worked together to come up with the best nail design my daughter has ever had. The smile on her face afterward was priceless, and as a mom, that moment meant everything—my worries completely vanished. In addition to her great skills, the prices were much more reasonable than I expected, especially for the personal attention and high-quality results. Even better, a month later, my daughter’s nails were still holding up well, despite her swimming six days a week! Today, we returned, and once again, Jocelyn and my daughter are happily brainstorming their next nail art idea. Jocelyn isn’t just talented—she’s also patient, kind, and truly cares about her work. She treats every set of nails like a little piece of art and makes her clients feel valued in the process. The time, care, and attention she provides are absolutely worth it. We’re so thankful to have found her!

Jocelyn is truly incredible at what she does. My nails come out perfect every single time—clean, detailed, and exactly how I like them. She’s gentle, patient, and takes her time to make sure everything looks flawless. The salon experience is always comfortable and she’s so easy to talk to. I always leave feeling confident and obsessed with my nails. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants quality work and someone who genuinely cares about her craft.

After a horrible experience at a different nail salon I decided to try this place and I’m so glad I did! Today was my first time coming here and choosing Emily was the best decision. She did an amazing job and made my nails look so fresh and beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!

Yesterday I came to get my nails done by one of the gentleman working at this salon. I asked for a design similar to the tortoise shell nails. I left unhappy because the design was not what I wanted. It looked more like lady bug nails and the color was not correct.I did pay a good amount for these nails and it did not live up to its price. Today I booked with Natalie who did the nails exactly the way I wanted. She is very good at designs and thinking of the best way to achieve the nail look. I am very happy I booked with her and will come back to her. I am bit disappointed I had to pay again to fix my nails at the same salon. No discount was given despite having to literally come back the next day to get them fixed. The photo below is the nails that Natalie did!

I highly recommend Happy Nails Bar and Spa to anyone who is looking for a great manicure!! Wait times are short, great atmosphere, and most importantly super clean!! I’ve been seeing Natalie for 7 years I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my nails she is absolutely amazing and super talented. I always look forward to coming back:)
