    This was a rather frustrating visit. I was grateful that I managed to get all my errands done much sooner than I thought I would. I live in Beaverton and was in downtown on this Sunday afternoon. I really have been needing to get a pedicure. There were a few places right by where I was but was hoping to find somewhere that was on my route home so that I would not have to deal with street parking. I am currently rocking a big boot and a cane so walking a distance can be a challenge. I should have just done that. After an internet search I found Happy Nails which was by itself for that area and with the drive over it would be committing to them but their website showed them open much later than the other spots in downtown and it said walk ins welcome! I drove straight there and was a touch nervous they would have a lot of people waiting. I was so happy going in because there was one pedicure customer who seemed to have her feet wrapped at a later stage and one other customer who was getting a manicure from another tech. No one was waiting and they were still open for over an hour more. Plus their sign matched the internet saying walk ins welcome and the hours. The person doing the manicure just looked at me and said they have no appointments available today and then goodbye...like...WOW....GET OUT, in other words.... Not even an offer for an appointment in the future or anything other than an outright dismissal. If you do not want walk ins perhaps you should update the signage at your shop and on the internet so that people do not bother to drive out to your location. I won't bother to go back since they clearly do not want my business.

    Well, no one wins the gold every time and today was one of those times when this place missed the mark. Because a good friend goes here and because of the reviews, I sent my daughter here with said family friend to get a full set. We usually go someplace that never disappoints but she was between sets and wanted to give this place a try so she and our friend could match for a trip we are taking. When she sent me the pic of her nails I couldn't believe it. I was told by her and our friend that after length was determined, they were filed down even more. The shape doesn't look fresh or even, they hardly look like they were professionally done. She had a Mickey Mouse stamped on one and it looks messy and uneven. I called to express her disappointment and very respectfully requested removal and a refund. I was very rudely advised that his 25 years of experience are more important than anyone's opinion of his work. He didn't even offer to redo them. I've already made an appointment to have them removed and redone, tomorrow, that is how bad they look. Good thing they have an established base, I don't think their level of customer service towards new clients would gain them much return business.

    Always an amazing job! Thanks, Brian!!!

    I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. Brian is one of the sweetest people and is a wonderful nail technician. His wife is quiet but also a sweetheart and an amazing nail technician. Both great people and great workers! They follow direction and are great with answering whatever questions you have as well as recommendations to have your manicure/pedicure last longer. I highly recommend Happy Nails! It's a good idea to make an appointment because Happy Nails has a lot of long-term, loyal customers and they're very frequently booked up. (Understandably so!)

    I have been going to this place for YEARS and they never disappoint me. They do such a good work and make my nails so beautiful! Brian is so friendly and kind and can be funny. His wife Amy is also friendly but more quiet but once you get know her she is very fun to talk to. The place is small but they do such a good work unlike some other nail places that are big that I have been to that don't do very well. I recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a very good nail place!

    After 3 weeks and they're all so secure still. Brian is amazing at what he does. I come from NE Portland because nobody does it like he does

    Happy nails is the best place to get your nails done because Brain actually cares. He make sure that your hair does not get caught underneath your nails he makes sure that your nails are not too thick, he also makes sure to take his time and do it right. Brain is always friendly and always has funny stories to keep me entertained. I drive out from Northeast Portland and I will continue to do that because nobody else can do nails like Brian can. PRICES- they're awesome too. It is a true 5 star establishment

    I drive out from Northeast Portland and I will continue to do that because nobody else can do nails like Brian can.
