I’ve been to Happy Nails twice now, and both times the workers have been so wonderful. Also with both times, my gel manicure has started to peel off within 1-2 weeks of having them done. When paying $80-$100 for a service, I would like the polish to last longer than 2 weeks. I do not think the owners are at fault for this, but I think the gel polish could be of higher quality. Not sure if I will return, and if so I will try the dipped powder next.

Got a mani-pedi kudos to Joanna (sorry if I misspelled your name) Pedicure was AMAZING definitely worth the money to get the seashell pedi. My nails are paper thin and she did the best with what she had to work with when it came to the manicure. Great conversation and a great time. (Orange/ purple & French toes) Visited again, Christina did a great job on my pedicure. I didn’t get her sisters name but she did an awesome manicure. (Blue & pink toes)

I just moved to the area from CA and this is definitely my new go-to nail salon! They are so sweet and do a great job! I've never had an issue getting seen but I usually call the morning of and sched an appt mid-afternoon. On my first visit about 3 weeks ago they talked me into getting dip nails (it wasn't that hard since I was already interested lol) and I'll never go back. I am very hard on my nails and gel usually chips within 2-3 days but with the dip color I had ZERO chips after 18 days! And I love how vibrant the colors are!
