I went in there, and the lady grouchy told me the woman I was looking for was not there .. then she kind of yelled at me to go sit down in her chair. I sat there for a minute and I thought why am I giving this grouchy lady my money ? so I got up and walked out and I will never go back. Why give people your money if they're gonna treat you like crap!! It was just plain wrong. I would give these people zero stars if I could. read more

Saw reviews first but I'm in a bind b/c I waited too long to book my regular tech at my regular spot. Started well. I was greeted and seated immediately. Huge salon, well staffed for a Sunday. Yikes ... lukewarm water. Tech kinda scoffed that I wanted my nails cut shorter. (Don't judge me ... I know my time constraints ... I need my appointments spaced out more). He punished me by filing my skin. LOL. (NP. I'm tufff ... I ate that!) I came. I saw. I conquered. Pleased to get a pedicure in a super timely manner. Will definitely plan better to not miss my regular tech but overall, don't discount this place & tell them you saw it Yelp. read more

Happy Nails & Day Spa - Trying ANOTHER salon. *sigh* - Nail Salons Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

My friend took me out to get my nails done for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! The design was absolutely stunning - delicate, yet vibrant, and perfectly matched the festive mood. I came prepared with a few designs from Instagram and the technician was pleasantly going over them and help me picking out the design that work for the budget. She paid such great attention to detail, ensuring that every nail looked flawless, and frequently checking if I was happy with the shape, length and color. I received so many compliments! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to feel extra special on their big day! read more

I went in for a basic gel manicure and pedicure. The nail tech rushed the entire service. The tech didn't remove all of the previous polish I had on properly. I had to constantly ask the tech to fix imperfections which didn't help at all. The new gel polish from my nails somehow transferred to my clothes after a rushed UV lamp drying. My pedicure looked absolutely horrendous. Nails not filed straight. Polish all around the nail. If you want to leave happy after your service, DO NOT GO HERE!!! It won't happen. read more

I'm sitting here now in the nail salon getting a pedicure and it hasn't even been 10 minutes. I got the basic pedicure like I always get at my normal nail salon. This lady has rushed through my pedicure. She didn't put the stuff they put in the water just ran regular water. I didn't notice because I was on a call until after she was done. She didn't file my toe nails I had to calll her out on it. I told her no cut down but you always get a file. I mentioned to her that this was a fast service! I don't recommend coming to this salon. I like to enjoy my pedicures. The basic comes with shape, cuticle trim, massage, and polish. I didn't get anything but a damn polish! I'm pissed off! I want to give them no stars. I only thing I like is that she took her time to polish my toes. They were neat! read more

Haley is phenomenal at her craft I refuse to let anyone else do my nails. I was a walk-in when she became my nail tech, I had a a not so good experience with another establishment and never returned. She takes her time and makes sure your nails are on point before you leave. Best decision I ever made sitting in her chair. read more

I typically don't leave reviews however this place deserves my review. With this place called happy nails and spa..I wasn't so happy at all. I went in on 5/9 to get a manicure and full set by Tiffany. I went to her due to her being at that salon for so long. I've never had a mani and fully set take less than 30mins and it showed. Keep in mind I had somewhere to be so I really didn't look at them until I got to my destination. The job so rushed and the design was sloppy. At first glance I was like ok they look decent. When I sat and stared, I realized how rushed and sloppy the job REALLY was. I called today 5/10 letting them know I wasn't happy with my nails and I wanted them off. I went in today to have them soaked off . Tiffany tried to fast talk me into getting a new design/ color . I told her no I wanted them soaked off because I didn't like it. I asked if was going to be compensated, she tells me "no" because of their policy and because I changed my mind . Mind you there is no policy posted about being compensated for a sloppy job done. I do not recommend her ask a nail tech and I won't be returning to this nail salon ever. read more

I just left. Tiffany has issues. I never in my years have felt this much disdain and contempt from a nail technician. She was very nasty, distant and rude. I felt so uncomfortable. She did my fill and gel in less than 25 mins. And, boy do they look as such. The gel is thick and the nails aren't shaped well. She left paint on my fingers and oiled one hand and not the other......what a mess. I didn't care at a point as she was rolling her eyes and grabbing my fingers so tight. I just wanted to pay and go. She threw my credit card on the table and had the nerve to watch closely to see if I would tip. I told her I would be right back......I will never come back to this dirty little dive. Bad energy. read more

Literally the worst fucking full set I ever got !!!!!!!! I'm so mad rn. Customer service in this place is trash. Manager is careless. This place is seriously ghetto as shit for it to be in Clinton..... The only black Staff cursing throughout the establishment, making us look absolutely terrible. I can't even describe how pissed off I am right now. I've been there since 2:00 It's almost 5 and I only have my toes done. Look at the damn line the nail tech put on my nails!!!! Then the black tech tells my mom she don't massage hands, she just polish and tell people to go. I-------am lost for words. Wow never coming here again read more

Well unfortunately I have to change my review to 2 stars ... my first visit it was an easy going Thursday morning, the service was excellent, she painted a design to perfection ... well I said this is her. My new nail technician . I recently relocated from another state, and was satisfied... OMG Saturday morning I show up as her first client and about 15 minutes into it she began to rush and I notice the place has a few more customers and .. low and behold the service went to Sh*t real quick !! My gel was sticky and dull, I mentioned it and said touch it , the nails are sticky .. my nail polish is not even close to the cuticles .. so I'm on the hunt again read more

The worst nail job I have gotten ever!!! Its not even Halloween and my nails look like candy corn. I went back to the shop the next day not only did they let the same lady mess up my nail after be insisting that someone else do it she ended up changing my pedicure polish to the wrong color. My nails and feet were still done sloppy. I've gotten ombre for years and instead of them admitting to the sloppy job they tried to convince me that I should've went to the place that did my nails originally. I just happened to be in Maryland and couldn't get to my normal location in va. The service was so shabby and rushed. I paid for a spa pedicure and didn't receive proper services. I tried to give them the benefit of doubt and rectify their mistakes and they made it worst. If you wanna be unhappy....definitely go to Happy Nails. read more

Happy Nails & Day Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

This place is exactly why you see people making fun of nail techs and how they mistreat paying customers in a black community. BEWARE OF THE BAIT AND SWITCH!!! This was the worst nail experience of my life. After having stopped in Saturday to check whether or not I needed an appointment. I was told no, just come in. I inquired about a "specific polish color" that was on display when you walk in. I was told that I could get that polish on my toes and that it would be an additional $5. So I went in today. When I asked for the polish I had inquired about just two days earlier, I was told that all of the colors with a "dot" beside it they didn't have - mind you, even the dots are different colors. So, I chose another gel polish. As the woman was doing my pedicure she rolled down my pant legs as if she were finished. I asked when she was going to do the callous removal? She said, "I do". She proceeded to begin to polish my nails and I stopped her. I inquired of another employee when was she going to do the callous removal which is supposed to be included in $45.00 spa service. She said, "She did it". OMG!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was so upset but decided to just finish this awful pedicure. Oh, by the way, the extra $5 is on top of the $20 for gel nails. It cost $70 dollars for the worst pedicure ever. She hit my big toe with the curing light and she then tried to patch it. I insisted that she remove the gel and redo that nail... by the way she used cuticle scissors and chopped off the side of my nail on my big toe closest to my second toe. I paid begrudgingly. They are lying, stealing and treating people like they are stupid. .... And of course it goes without saying that they talked about me in their language the whole time. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AND I WILL MAKE A POINT OF TELLING PROPLE TO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! I'm pissed!!! If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Sloppiest paint job ever-ever ! Two people painted, then the manager wanted to trial but I was too done. I still paid full price. They'd ought to be ashamed of this bull$?!@. read more

I just went here for the first time, not my usual salon, just one on the way home... and I must say, THIS IS THE UGLIEST SET OF F'N NAILS I EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!! The only reason I could not get them fixed is because I had a deadline to pick my children up. First of all, I asked for a overlay. Which is of course acrylic covering my real nail. Man just look at it!!! Their BULKY!!! THE GEL HAS BUBBLES IN IT!!! I would NEVER go here again and I recommend you don't either!! It's literally 9pm as I'm posting this, not even two hours since I left the salon and my nails look horrible!!!! Tomorrow I'll be going to get them done over by some place that knows what they are doing!!! STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!!! My best advice!!! read more

This place is trash. Especially KEVIN. I went in asking for an overlay with A LITTLE length. Kevin was about to lay acrylic WITHOUT even cleaning the cuticles or nails so i requested a manicure beforehand.. cool.. he sloppily laid the acrylic making it uneven and longer than requested. Due to the fact he didn't clean/trim my nails before applying acrylic it showed when he did the French. I didn't like it so i requested a soak off simply due to the fact he couldn't perform said service i requested. He charged me for the soak off AND DIDNT EVEN TAKE OFF ALL THE ACRYLIC NOR CLEAN MY NAILS BACK UP. This is how i walked out.. if it wasnt for the fact i had somewhere to be i would've sat there until my nails were neat but he's clearly incompetent in this field. read more

Happy Nails & Day Spa - Manicure/soak off. - Nail Salons Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

My experience was awful. I came for a pedicure, fill in and two fixes. The pedicure was okay, nothing special and I had to ask several times for her to use new/sanitized equipment. On to the fill. I walked in with straight square nails, no frills, no taper, I asked for a cut down and to keep my same shape. The cut down was fine but, she proceeded to file them in a rounded tapered square. I stopped her and explained the shape again. Still ignores me. I filed a nail myself to show her what I wanted but the two nails she did were already ruined. I asked to simply soak them off and I'd leave. She calls the manager over and they add a ton of acrylic and try to reshape. I explained it's still not what I've asked for and I'd like to pay for my pedicure and go. The manager loses her mind! She is yelling at me, saying I wasted their time, I owe the woman for all the work that she's done (all she did was fill and cut down so, what ?). She snatches my card out of my hand, yells she's going to charge me $70, I had to threaten to call the police to get my card back but, she proceeds with the yelling. She's yelling and following me as I walk out. Everyone at this shop thinks they can talk to and treat people any kind of way. No customer service skills, dirty shop, limited understanding of English and unskilled. I wish I'd read the reviews here before going. A treat for my birthday turned into a a hassle and overwhelmingly awful experience. I also noted in the two hours I was there, 10 people came in for nail repairs, chipped polish, etc. manicures and pedicures less than a week old and already having issues. 2 women said this was their last time as patrons. I also took note that when they yelled and performed and refused to pay for a fix - nothing was said to them but, since I was mild mannered she thought she could bully me, wrong!! Turn around and run from this establishment! read more

One of the salon tech "Tiffany" does not practice safety cleaning by disinfecting her area due to Covid. This person did not wipe down the Pedicure chair before I sat down. This person did not wipe down per station chair after a previous customer left, or did she change her station towel after doing last customers nails. "I" myself grab paper towels and cleansers to clean off these areas before sitting, and when I asked "T" to change the towel, she got a smart attitude. Although I'm not a person to slap; so I hit her in another way because she had the nerve to think I would tip her after paying//NOT!! read more

This is the worst pedicure I've ever had in my entire life. The nail tech was a clearly a novice, the process was so brutal. I picked a bright orange nail color and it was everywhere. If I didn't have dinner plans I would have left. If you sit down and feel the person is inexperienced, just leave or wait for another tech to become available. I would give zero stars if this was an option. read more

Man... I'm so disappointed in my set of nails today. I could throw up. Seriously idk what the people there always insist to talking the customer into something they don't want. IF IM PAYING FOR MY SET OF NAILS DONT TELL ME I SHOULD GET THIS OR THAT INSTEAD. Don't do what I didn't ask you for. Worst set of nails I've ever gotten In my entire life. If I could give this no stars I WOULD. The workers here are lazy as idk what. This is the sloppiest job I've ever Seen!! Never coming back! You lost your money with me. read more

When I met Kevin, my nail technican he was pleasant and positive... until he could not upsell me on power and gel nails. I only get acrylic. He was rough with my hands and I actually had to remind him that my hands were not an object and not to push them away when he was done with them and not to file my fingers and not my nails in his rush to finish my service. The main reason why I'm writing this review because Kevin demanded I pay for my service before he painted my nails! I had never had a nail technician do this before. I found this very rude and unprofessional. I sensed the more money you spend, the nicer some of them could be. Not to extend quality service regardless of service is a slap in the face of the black community that it serves. This just makes me more determined to find a black-owned shop in the neighborhood, at least I will be supporting one of my own. #ItsAboveMeNow read more

Terrible place I went there for the first time last night and the lady Rose was doing my nails to rest through my nails she rushed through my nails because they were going to close and she had me sitting in front of this dryer and I was drying my nails and she proceeds to get herself together to leave and she throws on her jacket and she setting up a station for the next day so she can leave what are you far as very unprofessional so she tell you that my nails are dry which I mention that they weren't in she continues to just say bye I'll see you later as soon as I walk out of the door they are turning off all the lights and getting in the cars I go to grab my doorhandle and my nails are messed up because they weren't dry like I said I called up there the next day to try to get a refund because this is hindering me since I don't have time to get my nails fixed before I have to go to work and they are telling me that I do not do refunds which is completely ridiculous I will never return to this establishment is completely unprofessional every person that answers the phone claims they are the manager and they talk to you like you have no clue what you're talking about I went to school for nails I know what I'm saying read more

Do not go here to get your nails done!!! I have given this place two times and each time they tell me what they can't do. They lady told me no one in the shop does acrylic nails. Ummmmmm isn't this a nail shop. She just lied straight to my face. Her behavior was very erratic. I am not sure what was really going on. The lady at the front desk told me to "go some where else". She was extremely rude!! I will never come back to this place. If I could give zero stars I would. They need to close this nail shop. read more

Great nail spa.. great atmosphere. Not super expensive. Every time I need my nails done I go here and I'm never disappointed.

First time here and last time. I was in a pinch wanting a polish change. I have silk on my own long nails. You would've thought I asked for the impossible. Just a polish change seemed like a big deal. They kept trying to get me to get gel. No. I don't want gel just polish change. Such an impersonal staff. Just very underwhelming. read more

Don't ever go here. They can not do nails!!!!!!. This lady did not shape them right and cut them too short. These nails look terrible it looks like a little child did it. The lady acted like she was blind and couldn't see what I was talking about. Terrible just terrible and there prices high for these dirty nails. I suggest you go somewhere else. read more

Came here because my friend recommended this location and I needed a pedicure. It is pretty easy to locate from the street and it is rather nice when you walk in. Aside from that I really wasn't pleased. The pedicure was rushed and the technician tried to up sale everything from a spa pedicure to waxing. The pedicure itself was sub par, I think it may have lasted ten minutes max. I requested a white on white French and was told that they could not or would not accommodate. I wasn't pleased with the way the polish came out an asked for it to be done again. The technician told me no! Who says no to a customer? Horrible pedicures horrible customer service. I won't be returning. read more

I had a really good mani-pedi here. I had a pedi with added massage and scrub, and a manicure with acrylic overlay. It has been over a week and my nails are still in really good shape all around. The polish on the pedicure is still perfect and shiny. The acrylic work still wraps artfully within my cuticle edge, no lift, perfectly even and very shiny as well. * Pros: very good job overall * Cons: close early on Sunday read more

I'm not sure if because it's Tuesday or just an off day but the service was practically horrible. For four very good reasons, is why I must change my rating to two stars. 1. My mother scheduled appointments, but when we walked in, we were told that both ladies hadn't been to work in weeks. 2. After sitting at the pedicure bowl for 10 minutes, the nail techs finally came over and started our pedicures. I had to ask over 5 times to change the temperature of the water because it was to cold, and in the end I gave up because she couldn't figure out how to switch it from cold to hot. 3. The nail tech badgered my mother into getting the most expensive pedicure, when she told her multiple times she didn't want it. 4. The nail techs were talking about how much they hate when clients don't tip as they were doing our nails. Needless to say, I will not be returning. #sorrynotsorry read more

I love the atmosphere. Very welcoming on a Saturday afternoon. Expecting to be very busy and a long wait but I was seated as soon as I walked in. I came for a spa pedicure I $30 & a gel manicure $35 and it was worth it. Pricing is reasonable. Offered water or wine during your service as well! I will be returning read more

I've been coming to this location for awhile now and stopped coming at one point in time due to the poor customer service. Today I received an alert stating that I was overcharged for the original amount that was expressed and charged. I called to speak with the owner who claims to not understand my complaint or issue while confidentially letting me know I wrote a $10 tip for the tech that helped me that day which I did not do. I offered to come to the shop in person to help settle the matter while producing time stamped proof. The owner didn't want to look at my transaction emails, but wanted the tech to validate my statement instead... The tech was forced to look through the system for my receipt and became in enraged shoving money in my face while yelling at me. The owner (who was no help to begin with) came over asked for my number and explained the tech was wrong while still not trying to see the proof or let me finish speaking. Today will be my last time ever doing business in this not so creditable establishment. read more

I used to frequent this shop some years ago and apparently forgot why I stopped. Well, after visiting again I remember.....They SUCK! The owner over works her staff and does not care about the quality of work. What happened today is too much to write here. I've learned my lesson, and not go back. Do Not Spend your $$$$ here, I won't ever again. read more

Well i must say. I wouldnt have ever stoppd there if i wasnt pressed to get my nails done. I was pleasently surprised.

Thanks again Kim, see you soon read more

Happy Nails & Day Spa - This style is calld Cats Eye. Its the coolest thing ti watch them do - Nail Salons Near Me - Clinton, Maryland

The owner, Nai, cursed at me for no reason!! Terrible customer service and NEVER COMING BACK!! Nai used to do my nails in Waldorf so when he moved to this shop I recommended my mom and friends to go to him. My mom complained a few times about his service and attitude but I figured I would still finally go to his new shop. I was his first appointment on a Saturday at 10am, I showed up 5min early and he was 10 minutes late. Walked in like he wasn't late and then rushed me to come sit down. I showed him a picture off IG of a style and design I wanted. Asked if he could do it and he said yes. But it was kinda complicated so I wasn't expecting perfection and I trusted him enough to slay my nails regardless. I could tell he was in a mood but I figured it's early and he's rushing so I tried to chat a bit to lighten things up. He glued on the nails and cut them down to begin shaping. He asked if the nail shape was good on the first finger so I said that I don't want the sides round but straight. He asked again on the second nail and I said the first one was good just so he knew the shape was fine. He then says "just let me do my $hit!!" And I'm like "why are you cussing at me!?" He replied "go find that nail tech if you like that design so much! Have them do your nails!" I was shocked! Was there less than 5 minutes before all this happened. I immediately told him to take the nails off. He cut them down and I could tell with his attitude he was going to just pluck the nail off so I got up before he could further damage my real nails. If he couldn't do it he should've just said that and I would've been fine picking a simple color and design. Was trying something new for a special occasion. I was so upset and will never recommend him EVER again. I had to find someone else last minute on a Saturday to do my nails so I went back to the shop in Waldorf. So if you need a good nail tech, Escape Nails & Spa in Waldorf, MD and ask for Tiffany! read more

Very clean - very fast - very big! Pros: - Huge place, so no wait at all for a pedicure chair. - Lots of colors, and nice massage chairs. - Pedicure really lasts - I am on week two without a chip. Cons: - The ratio of chairs to drying station is confusing - there are maybe 6 seats to dry at, compared to the 25+ pedicure chairs, and even more manicure stations. - It felt a little rushed at times because of the size of the place, the ladies rushed from one person to the other to get everyone in and out. read more

Poor quality of work, I asked for square shaped nails and that's literally what I received, there was no effort in defining the nails at all, the tips were filed in a square but the corners were not touched leaving my nails rough and ridget around the corners. As I look down at my nails all of them are pointing to the left. The polish on my toes has somehow started to crack and have air pockets on the big toes. They had a nerve to charge $75 for their services, this was $75 worth of nothing. Don't waste your time or money ladies and gentlemen. I wish ZERO ratings was allowed because they would have earned it. read more

This was my second time visiting this salon, and I quickly remembered why I never returned after the first time smh. I only visited this salon because I was in a crunch to get a quick pedi and gel mani for my daughter and I, in preparation for our upcoming trip. This was the nearest salon in the area, so I decided to give it another try. BIG MISTAKE! The first issue is the lack of cleanliness of the salon. I cannot remember the lady's name that did my nails, but my pedi wasn't good at all. Also, when she finished my gel mani, I noticed a crack in the polish before even walking out of the salon. When I brought it to her attention, she got an attitude and began mumbling in her language. She ended up fixing my nail, but after giving attitude for an issue that she caused. NEVER AGAIN will I come here. I will just stick with the salons that I am familiar with! read more
