    Where I got my manicure. I almost asked for polish but chickened out! LOL
    Mitchel S.

    It's so funny how our society dictates, and in most cases, we allow it to tell us what is masculine and what is feminine, what guys do and what gals do and never the twain shall meet! I'm enjoying watching my students at Elon cross lines in how they dress, how they identify themselves as far as gender and sexuality and how they express themselves on and off stage. I'm trying in my own way to follow that trend and be a little less concerned about what I look like or what I say and just be me. I recently wore a beautiful hand woven wool coat made for me by an appreciative woman in Marrakesh, Morocco that had been sitting in my closet for over 20 years. It's design and cut are not what men normally wear around here and so I have been self-conscious about wearing it. My students' openness encouraged me to wear it to class one day and one of the football jocks immediately said, "Hey Professor, you look cool in that jacket!" He said the perfect thing!! And so with that spirit, at the spur of the moment after getting my hair cut by Cristian right up the street, I popped into Happy Nails. I would not say the outside is particularly appealing, and if I remember correctly I could not quite really see inside which was a turn off, but Cristian said his wife went there and she liked it so I went inside. Once you got in, it was very cute and clean and friendly. I think it is Asian owned and staffed, and it reminded me of an incredible foot massage I got in Thailand, but that's a story for another day! LOL Anyway, I decided to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. My hesitation with these services have always been my discomfort when they cut my cuticles. I find it painful and it deters me from wanting to get a manicure of pedicure again. This time I decided to be a bit more assertive and explained to the lovely young woman performing the services that I was very sensitive at my cuticles on both my hands and feet, She did a magnificent job of giving me a great manicure and pedicure without any discomfort and with a lot of pleasure. I enjoyed every minute of it and I will be back! I don't know the percentages, but I would dare say there are few men in the United States who would allow themselves to enjoy a manicure or pedicure. I know, because for years I felt it was not masculine and wouldn't get one and now I don't give a rat's a--. It felt good to be pampered, it felt good to have somebody attend to my hands and feet. And to be honest attending to my feet are getting harder and harder the older I get LOL So all in all, I had a great time and I encourage all of my guy friends to break out of their box and enjoy something as nice as this. I thought their prices were quite fair for what you were getting and it was all done very well! I will be back Happy Nails. Now I've worn my Moroccan coat, I've gotten a manicure and pedicure ......what's next?

    Excellent shape!

    Mila is my girl! I used to travel 45 minutes to get my nails done and now I'm wondering why!?! My sns has never looked better! They all have a great rapport and make patrons feel totally at home. I love this place!

    Horrible!!! Why you even allow me to walk out of your salon looking like this!!!

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I only came in because I broke my nail and needed to fix it. Because they didn't have the same gel color to reprint the nail I had to change all the colors. As we continued through the normal gel color take off. The lady in the first chair on the right begins putting the top coat of gel on. I asked her what are we going to do with my broken nail. She tells me that she was just going to paint it. I have long almond shaped nails. I told her why would you paint it when all my nails look different. Then her and the other nail tech started yelling at me that I should've told them sooner that I wanted acrylic on my broke nail. I said why would you even allow anyone out your salon with different nails. That's bad business for you. Then they started speaking in Vietnamese and having an attitude so I just told them to just forget it. I am now uncomfortable and I don't feel good being in here. Then I asked how much for the gel polish removal. She said $10. I told her that's how much you charge people for gel color removal. Then she tells me it's $5. These woman are unprofessional and are just trying to rip me off. Never coming back. Left there and went to Elegant Nails right up the street to fix my nails.

    Mila did a beautiful service applying gel finger nails, although I paid $90 for both mani/pedi services + &15 tip.

    I just recently found this salon but I've been looking for one ever since my regular salon moved…read moreout of town. When I called they told me to come right in and I was really happy they were able to take me last minute. This has continued to be the case, as they seem to always have availability. I THINK I may have found a few salon to go to! It's super clean inside, as well as the bathrooms and they have beautiful artwork! They also have portable charges, cup holders and everything to make you feel comfortable so you can really really relax. Also, the first time I went there my daughter came with me and she was happy with everything as well. She was in need of a whole charger and one of the techs let them use hers which I thought was very sweet and so not expected but I did appreciate it and so did she! Also, the first day I went in there a woman was sleep so I know she was feeling too good! They have a wide variety of colors, I'm not sure of how intricate they are with being able to do designs though. Now onto my nails, they do pretty good, I think the prices are just about what you will find in other places. The last time before last however I went and I wanted to get a French manicure but the guy said he couldn't do it without the top of my nail showing, but I wasn't using tips so I wasn't sure why that was, also my nail broke that same day but I went back a few days later and they fixed it for nothing! That is why I think this might be my new salon because they took care of me quickly with no issues and everyone in there seems nice, they start up conversation and I don't feel out of place there. There set up is also quite beautiful so I love going in there because of that as well and they have free wifi! One issue that I could see happenings is they have a small parking lot that's shared with other businesses, but I've never had a problem, so it hasn't bothered me. All in all I've had good experiences there, just need to find a solid tech that can take care of me regularly, but overall very happy with their services & hospitality and the prices don't bother me!

    First time coming here and I got a pedicure and my first ever manicure. The pedicure was pretty…read moregood and the lady did a great job, I do wish the towels and hot stones were a bit hotter. They do give you a complimentary wine, just one though, and only if you get a certain package and above. Their chairs were nice and they had MagSafe/wireless chargers built in for your phone which I thought was really neat. There are nice paintings in there and it was very clean.
