She stuck the dirty wax stick back in the wax after use!!!!! She didn't throw away the wax stick after every single use. Literally: illegal. Don't get waxed here, it's a major health risk. Herpes and other venereal diseases could be spread with practices like this. When cutting corners becomes a customer liability, you know you're running a BAD BUSINESSSS! I went here yesterday and just got alerted they added a higher tip amount than I had signed off on. More bad business practices only solidifying more why NO ONE should go here unfortunately. They charge more for a leg wax and a bikini wax and pedicure than anywhere I had been in Manhattan, NYC getting it done for the last 8 years. They charge more than any European wax center. They charge twice the amount of the spa I went to three weeks ago and that included my armpits. DOUBLE THE AMOUNT. I wasn't happy with the scam prices and the patchy wax, or the health risk so I DID NOT tip 20% -it is what it is. I should not have tipped at all But, regardless yall gotta eat that and be grateful for the tip a costumer gives you RGARDLESS IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. Point blank period. You do not change a TIP AMOUNT. Illegal. You DO NOT reuse the same wax stick over and over: ILLEGAL. They don't have their prices listed for wax anywhere. Hence why I tipped what I did to round everything to a still UNREASONABLE amount. Prices are fraudulent. Wax was extremely patchy. Thighs barely are hairless at all... and the fact they added an extra tip for themselves. THESE practices could cost them their license. SCAMMERS I should have taken a photo of my receipt. Unfortunately you can't trust any business anymore. And I don't know why I didn't say anything when she was reusing the same wax stick over and over. I was genuinely in shock. -won't ever make that mistake again. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IVE SEEN THAT DONE. Disputing the amount with my bank currently. I'm Not happy dealing with fraudulent business practices.... EVER. But this one feels personal SO I WILL GO THROUGH GHE DISPUTE PROCESS FOR THE $5. -the quality was low and prices WAY TOOO HIGH and not marked anywhere. She had told me a price, wrote it down for me to see- then she scribbled it out and changed it within 10 seconds in front of me TO FIVE DOLLARS HIGHER. THEN WENT AND CHANGED MY TIP AMOUNT AS SOON AS I WALKED OUT??? Unfortunately they got the wrong one. I hope I don't break out with a disease... genuinely I may call the board. And to the management reading this: Yall better grip your licenses tight because now you've poked a bear. Get ready for a house visit from the health board. Genuinely, yall don't mess with customers like this... read more

Tai has been doing my dip manicures for over a year and does the most amazing work. Very natural looking - lasts well over three weeks with no problem every time. The salon is clean and the staff is all super professional, I call for appointments and have no problems with that at all. read more

Tai is truly an artist when it comes to nails. She's incredibly detail-oriented, making sure every manicure and pedicure is done perfectly--not rushed or sloppy. She actually listens to what I want (a rare skill these days) and even offers her own expert advice to make the end result even better. I recommend Tai to literally everyone...except maybe not on Friday afternoons when I need my spot! Happy Nails in Ann Arbor is such a relaxing, friendly place too--it's the perfect backdrop for Tai's amazing work. read more

I would not go here again. I had the worst experience I have ever had in my life. It was very rushed. I showed that I wanted silver nails and when I got peach colored nails I politely asked if we could stop and adjust the color. They charged me an extra 30 dollars to do what I asked for in the first place. During this procedure she appeared angry and filed both my cuticle and nail bed down until they bled. When I pulled away in pain she appeared frustrated at me even speaking to her colleagues who came over while I kept apologizing for something I should not have been apologizing for. To the point where the lady next to me felt she had to say something. I did not feel relaxed throughout this encounter. 75$ down the drain. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could the lady there was so rude to me she was arguing with me about changing my nail polish. I went in with navy polish. I requested change to a light semi sheer sparkly pink polish... While removing my navy blue nail polish she managed to get the dark color underneath my nails and into my cuticles. When I asked her if she could remove the blue powers from underneath my fingernail bad she started arguing with me saying she could only do that for a full manicure. I explained to her that a polish change involves removing the old polish. She continue to argue with me...Unbelievable seriously a polish change she shouldn't be this complicated and a person shouldn't be so rude. Last time I will go there or the lady sitting next to me said she was getting poor service as well. read more

I want to start off by saying this five star review is specific to Anthony and his pedicures! By far the best pedicure I've ever had in my life. He cleans up around the nail so well. His attention to detail couldn't be better. He is perfect at his job in this aspect. He gives wonderful massages as well! My nails never looked better than after Anthony does them. Who doesn't want a skilled perfectionist doing their nails? He also does great with shellac finger nails - same as with a pedicure. However, the only reason why I don't go to Anthony (most of the time) is because I prefer to get the dipping powder on my nails and the time I went to him for the dip my nails started chipping about 9 days from the manicure. But a lot of people don't do well with cleaning up around and behind the nail, so if my hands are looking particularly rough, I will go to Anthony and just get shellac. I will say that I have gotten a pedicure here from someone else (a woman, I didn't catch her name) and I would have rated it about two stars. Go with Anthony and you will get your money's worth and be very pleased. read more

Happy Nails - Amazing - Nail Salons Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I've come here about four times in the past two months & I must say, that overall, I have been pleased! I always love the shape of my nails and the comfortability of the place in general. The product: 5/5 My nails ALWAYS look great... I usually get gel over my natural nails, but soon, I think that I am going to try the dip powder! I always love my nails when they are done and that's why I decide to come back. The service: 4/5 I had one issue here over pricing misunderstandings/quotes...There were two great women that helped settle it for me, but one woman was being super rude, cutting me off, telling me that I was wrong. That was about a month and a half ago & I haven't seen her again, so I'm happy and continue to come back. Lol The price: 4/5 It's a little pricey $40 for a gel fill-in/cut down, but they last me a good 3 weeks, so I can't complain. You get what you pay for. As long as I'm in Ann Arbor, I will be back. read more

I will not be back. Anthony is very unprofessional and unpleasant. I make an appointment and still I am waiting for 30 minutes. They are not good here read more

Great price, good work, and clean. What else could you want? Oh, how about...lovely people.

I went with my two sisters and no appointment. They had plenty of staff working and were able to get us in right away. Everything was very clean, and the spa tub was even lined with a disposable bag. The actual pedicure was great (basic with gel); however, the girl who did my pedicure talked on her phone the ENTIRE time I was there. I have never not tipped, but for that I made an exception. read more

I hope the picture is self explanatory enough. The old woman who did my nails here either couldn't understand English and was blind, or acted like she couldn't understand and was lazy. I paid $60 for that middle picture, when what I asked for was the top picture. So, I went and used my $40 UV light with my gel polish, liquid latex for cleanup, and a make up sponge... fixed them at home myself and the bottom is the result. Save yourself the grief and go somewhere else. read more

Happy Nails - What I asked for, what I got, and what it looked like after I fixed it at home. - Nail Salons Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

I stopped in at happy nails several times to see if they had someone who could do a pedicure without an appointment. They could not. So I made an appointment. I got there right on time, they put me in the pedicure chair. They left me sitting there for 30 minutes. And then when I got up to leave, they said "Oh someone called in sick". When I arrived, they did not indicate that there would be a wait, they did not ask me if I had the time to wait. They just had me sit there. I had another appointment and could not wait any longer. What I cannot understand is why they made me wait if there was no one who could provide the service. Very frustrating and I will not be back. read more

This shop has completely lost my business. I have come in here 3 times now and I've learned that customer service and satisfaction is not a priority for this establishment. I decided to give Steve a 2nd try this afternoon. I've been very busy these last 3 weeks so I haven't gotten in to get my nails done, but it's sick season so I've been washing my hands A LOT. My nails were moist underneath my prior acrylic. I was worried it was going to be painful. I called about 20 minutes before to specifically ask for Steve and they said I could come immediately. GREAT! Well, I told him I would go for a fill in and a file down, but he recommended we take them off and start over. I agreed and thought he was right... Especially as I started to see the acrylics come off. Omg! My nails were SO DAMAGED!!! Not from this salon, but they were so so damaged from a prior salon. Well, I'm worrying that it's going to hurt seeing all these shards and splinters. Fortunately, he got them off as painlessly as he could and I was so thankful, and noted that I would tip well. So he's continuing and getting them off, and when I see how damaged they are, i decide to just get them cleaned up with regular polish, no new acrylics because my nailbeds were destroyed! After a few minutes, he says, "I think your nails can do full set." I'm thinking - NO FREAKIN WAY. THESE NAILS NEED AIR, REST, AND GROWTH. So clearly you don't have my best interests in mind if you'd lay acrylics on top of thin shardy nails. That's how you permanently damage a nailbed! Well, after we are sure, he says, "How about you pay before?" ... Pay before? First, I never pay before a service. Second, we are midway right now uhmm this is awkward... Well, whatever, I want my nails done. So he says $13. Cool, watch this - I give him $25 cash. HUGE tip. He seems happy, says thank you, and wa-la. Let's get my nails back right. Right after the money exchanged, he goes for the polish. Hold on dude! My cuticles are horrible, this needs filing, what are you doing??? He says, "oh cuticle. Well then you want manicure" *looks at the cash on the table* "that be $26" HOW DARE YOU? I just tipped you so so well, and you think you're going to trick me to reach back into my purse? You think you're going to be THAT freakin greedy with me??? After leaving such a huge tip, you'd think you'd want to be like "definitely, let me take care of you" No, he actually verbally huffed, rushed through it, and the next person was sitting next to me before he was done with my nails. No one said thank you on the way out. Terrible. This place is going out of business. read more

So I have gone to this salon on more then one occasion. I was really hoping to find a nail salon close to my house, unfortunately this is not the one. Even after they over filed my nails last time, I was going to give them the opportunity to make them right. After explaining the issue with the first nail tech he said he didn't know how to fix them. A different nail tech had me sit down. After looking at my nails he said that the previous time they were obviously over filed on the side of my nails and he didn't really know how to fix them and that the really good nail techs weren't in and I should come back later. I asked for my money back for the previous dip manicure, since he acknowledged that they were done improperly. The owner wasn't there so no refund was given. They don't really care about keeping customers or Providing a good quality service. The lack of care and quality and such poor customer service is what compelled me to Write this review. I will be returning to Dexter Nails and Spa to have them correct Happy Nails disaster! Disaster Nails is a more appropriate name For This sa read more

Went in today for a Mother's Day treat with my mom! Service was great despite being busier than usual. I think it helped to make an appointment in advance. The technicians were really nice! One of the techs kept redoing the acrylics for my mom's pedicure, but was very sweet about making sure they were just right before she left. I would definitely return. The pedicure with the hot rocks and warm water and definitely worth the price. My mom's shellac held up for 2+ weeks read more

Awful experience. I called for an appointment and was told the person I normally have wasn't available. So, was told another person would do a dip manicure for me and she has been doing it for 20+ years. It was terrible. 7 fingers were cut, bleeding and very painful. Then, she put shellac on top of the dip. Then, was told the cost would be $50 where when I called I was told it would be $35. I told the person who answered the call that the price wasn't right and she said she didn't know the pricing. Very painful and an awful experience with fingers full of black nail polish and blood. read more

AKILAH is by far the most phenomenal nail technician I've encountered in the years of getting my nails done.

PS: spring for the designs, she can freehand nearly anything. It's just icing on the cake that this facility is beautiful, spacious, and clean!

Absolutely wonderful experience. I was almost scared away by other reviews but I had the most relaxing and beautiful pedicure. The attention I was given from start to finish was unequaled at any other salon. Thank you! read more

It was my FIRST and my LAST time going to this nail location. First off, I do not live in the area but approximately an hour away. I just so happen to be in the area for an appointment and figured "What better time than now to get a pedicure" being though they had JUST opened. I knew it was going downhill immediately when the pedicure water came out ice cold. Sign #1. Now, I'm no "pedicure expert" but one thing for sure and two for certain is that, I know that as a nail tech, one shouldn't just start pushing the cuticle back without first having the client to soak their feet. It went downhill from there. I am not sure if she was fresh out of training or what! Then she handed me a laminated price sheet with the pedicures. I opted for the basic $35 pedicure, can't go wrong with basic right? WRONG! Again, I'm no nail tech so when she pulled out this clear liquid to put on my toe nails, I thought "Oh this is fancy-okay!" Well little did I know, she took it upon HERSELF to give me a shellac pedicure which doubled the price and I didn't know that until I checked out. I asked, "Why is it so high?" She replied, "Shellac"--- Smack me in the face with a wooden spoon! I never NOT ONCE asked for that but...here it was, I was standing there in dismay after one, the horrible pedicure, then to have to pay double. Stick a FORK IN ME DONE! I felt like she pulled a slick one but me being the customer that I am, I STILL tipped her! That did not sit with me, so I got online and wrote my "Woman in America" email...thinking that the owner would respond-NOPE! I gave them 48 hrs to respond at that. After the 48 hrs, still nothing so I called. When I explained to the female that answered she asked, "What happened?' As I proceeded to explain she responded, "I do not speak English can you call back?" ***CRICKETS*** At this point, I was OVER it. I will chop it up as lost. Very UNhappy customer. read more

Went out for a girls day with two of my girl friends. We originally went to CK Nails, but found that they were closed from the first to the fourth or sixth of this month (?!). Panicked, we called Happy Nails and asked if we needed an appointment for all 3 of us to get our shellac manis and pedis done together and they said to just come right in. 30 minutes later, we walked in and were helped right away. We were able to have our pedicures done right next to each other and the women and man doing our nails were extremely friendly and did an amazing job. They were very understanding of two of us who were first timers and very ticklish on the bottoms of our feet. Our nails turned out perfectly and I couldn't be more happy with the results. They're flawless! This is an outstanding place to get your nails done. Best nail salon experience I've ever had. If you go, ask for Simon or Vi. They are husband and wife, and are an amazing, talented, friendly duo. Loved them!!! read more

He sat there for 20 minutes and we finally asked"where is she". The manager said she had a scheduled appointment at 1:00. Well 1:00 passed ;we left at 1:40 and Kathy was still hiding in the back.
