    Nails by Dustin
    DaVina S.

    I always get my nails done by Dustin and my pedicures here & it's always a great experience. Dustin is always able to create the designs that I ask for and my feet always look really good. thank you!!

    I like to base my decision on their quality of service. My first time here and was thoroughly happy with my nails. I guess that's why it's called "Happy Nails". I came when it wasn't busy, but I've been here with my sister and she had to wait 20 Min for her appointment. I'm a patient person, especially on a Sunday. So waiting is no issue for me. I got a deluxe pedicure and full set acrylic (stiletto shape/regular polish)- paid $75 including tip. Usually when I get the stiletto shape I need to instruct the nail tech on how sharp I want them. I showed him the pic & he did it great the first time, plus went in to perfect the shape. I love this! My pedicure was so relaxing & the lady who did the massage did a great job. I'll be coming here from now on. The cost is pretty damn good & if you need to wait there's a Panera bread, pieology, chipotle and Starbucks near by. Came back to get a fill and new design & im in love. He kills it every time! (Shellac pink set with glitter & rhinestones) I believe I paid 48? Somewhere around there. That's a dang good price if you ask me. I'll continue coming here for my acrylics.

    The guy was genuinely super nice and he had friends playing so the time went by super fast plus the price is amazing for the result. Totally recommend 10 out of 10 definitely going again.

    I was glad to return to my favorite Salon. Dustin as always, was amazing. The precautions put in place, made me feel comfortable and safe! #HappyNails #AmazingArtist

    I've been visiting this salon for at least 4 years on a regular basis and Dustin and his team are amazing. I have tried at least 3 other salons in the area and have had tearful experiences. I even tried a salon in LA with substandard results. Dustin has provided me with a great quality of work (especially since I love French manicures). I don't do reviews unless I see consistent quality and this nail salon has surpassed that. I can schedule appts easily via call or text and I love the professionalism shown to me if I arrive for my appt and the previous customer is taking longer than expected. In my profession, I realize the unexpected can happen and I treat it as if I was the one with the unexpected delay. I wouldn't want my service rushed. One day I had an appt and when I arrived Dustin was busy. He soon walked over to me, looked at my nails, shared he was running late and gave me several options. I waited patiently because he is worth it. This review has been longer than I expected, but being in the corporate world I've learned that customers love you until they don't lol! But I love Happy Nails and Spa. They are professional and clean. What I love most is Dustin being honest with me when I ask for a service that is not conducive to a healthy set of nails, thank you!

    DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES. I have had more than 10+ years experience with acrylic nails. I am well aware of how they should look and feel. My experience with this place before and after this ordeal will make me NEVER USE NOR RECOMMEND THEM EVER AGAIN. I came in to get a full set done on Tuesday afternoon. I walked in and asked for a full set, the lady standing at the front began speaking to a lady in the back. They where speaking in their language so I am not sure of their exact conversation. However, the lady toward the back was CLEARLY having an issue with providing a service. That should have been my first clue to leave. Once she was convinced to do my nails she started the service, as she was applying acrylic, I had to mention twice that there was a large dip in two nails that needed to be filled with acrylic before the second file Red flag number 2. She then had me hold my hands up to the light to dry the acrylic. (Acrylic doesn't need to be held up to a light. Period) Red flag number 3. The length of my nails vs the amount of acrylic used was no where near enough. There was absolutely NO APEX. A proper apex is needed to prevent a nail from breaking at the stress point (where the artificial nail is glued to the real nail) and to prevent the entire nail from being ripped off/causing trauma to the actual nail. I say that not only as a customer but as someone actively going to tech school for this exact thing! The lady who did my nails is Either SEVERELY under trained or not licensed. I only saw one license on the wall...so there is that. I came in today to share my experience. Not expecting a refund (the only take cash,imagine that) but to share my experience. The manager at first asked me " well how thick do you want them to be." Once I showed him the photo of how thick they where his tune changed to "well, BC they didnt split down the middle this isn't my fault." "I can soak them off and give you a new set." I won't ever recommend then again. Don't use them if you value ur fingers

    I made an appointment with Dustin and immediately he asked me to show him my reference. He did such a great job and really took his time for the small little details. I was really nervous about going but he did way better than I could ever imagine. I WILL BE COMING BACK!

    GA-ROSSSS! Looks like these chairs were found at a homeless encampment.

    DISCLAIMER: I did not receive any services from this establishment. And why would I? I called ahead, asked if they were free for a mani/pedi, and agreed to arrive at 1045. I arrived on time... and waited. I'm good with waiting for a few minutes, but when I hit 20 minutes, I'm done! This place wasn't very busy, which would otherwise be a plus. I definitely was put off by their waiting area. Their seating looked so grimy, I was disgusted. I'd rather stand on my head than take a seat to wait. Pics of the sofa seats included. I'm still on the lookout for decent customer service at a CLEAN nail spa in the area...

    I rarely get my nails done but my friend recommended Dustin and he did an amazing job. Exactly like the photo I showed him and it was a good price. He was very nice and understanding of my preference for wanting shorter nails even though it was hard to do with the design I asked for. I highly recommend.

    My three-year-old son picked the Barbie color! They were really nice to him. Honestly, this place is more than anyone could ask for. They seemed to have close friendships with their regulars. Like, a regular came to the shop just to say hi. This goes to show you, wonderful people work here. I'm not local...if I was...I'd revisit.

    My old dark blue polish is showing from under my new polish.  It was acceptable to the manager when I complained to him.

    Anyone else ever have a hell of a time getting thru on their phone line? I've been trying for an hour and it just keeps saying "sorry, the number you are trying is busy". Busy? For almost an hour?

    Yes! I am currently having this issue - someone answered last time but now it just rings and rings. Very frustrating.

    How much for an acrylic set?

    Full set was $70 Fill $45

I used to only do pedicures, which always lasted forever with zero chipping, but over the last few months I've started doing a Gel-X + dip combo with cat eye and I'm obsessed. I have never had a successful gel manicure that didn't lift within a week... until Vee. Whatever her technique is, these nails are staying on unless you literally break one. Vee is super friendly and chatty, and personally I love that. I genuinely enjoy our time every visit and it never feels rushed or awkward. The studio is in her home, but it's completely separate and downstairs -- just the garage and her nail space. It's all pink, pretty, private, and zen, and she always plays great music. It truly does not feel like you're in someone's house at all. One thing to note: this is a one-person business, so timing matters. If you want a longer pedicure with extra massage, just let her know ahead of time so she can plan properly. I love Vee and I love my nails every single time. Highly recommend.
