The deluxe signature pedicure was awesome. Legs felt refreshed after sugar scrub and hot towels applied. Helen was very attentive to detail and friendly along with the other staff. Welcomed upon entering. Helen did a great job on the pedicure. Asked if the rub was too soft, hard or just right. Attentive to detail read more

Caroline gets me straight every time. You have to be clear in what you want, communication is everything. Here's what I mean...if you want your eyebrows threaded and you want a clean up vs shaping, make sure you specifically say that. I learned the hard way. I went in wanting my eyebrows "done". That's all I said and I left with an entire shape up. I wasn't happy but to her defense, I wasn't clear. Now when I go I specifically say cleanup and by the end we're both happy. It's a good salon to get your nails and feet done, waxing (not brazilian), and facials. Everyone is also happy to see you coming. read more

Mr T does such an awesome job!! They are always super professional and very clean there. I definitely recommend them. read more

Joy Nails II - Waxing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Nice people , great service ! Listened to what I wanted and didn't charge an arm and leg

Landed in Galveston a day before my cruise and realized I forgot to get my toes did. My friend and I stopped in and got amazing service. The staff was very sweet and accommodating. They provided neck warmers and water bottles and even let my friend sit next to me while I was having my services. I will definitely forget to get my pedicure again the next time I come to Galveston. thank you for the great service. read more

Edit: I was contacted by the owner after seeing my review. He apologized for the service I got and asked if I'd give them a chance to make it right. I had high hopes when I initially selected this salon so I decided to go for it. I have to say Caroline at their other location did a beautiful job. I'm very happy and completely satisfied with their customer service and the quality of her work. Thank you for making it better, if I'm ever in Galveston again I'd definitely go back. read more

January 3, 2020 Their original location on 61st is closed on Sunday's but the owner, Caroline is a work beast...thank goodness and fills in here to give most of her staff the day off. Saw her today after a YEAR long absence...yep, I had abandoned ship...I had been going to the nail salon near Target and my usual tech there had gotten sloppy, money hungry and doesn't chit chat with you...after a year you'd like some conversation, no?! But, more importantly, it had gotten to the point where my nails (the dip) would crack after 2 weeks,..soo, back to Joy nail I go...Caroline specifically. Caroline takes her time... is detailed oriented and friendly. My SNS dip powder nails were done perfectly today so let's see how they hold up for the month. Oh! And before or after you visit this location...try out the teas/smoothies from Teaside Tapioca next door...Caroline's daughter owns it...her son works there too! Entrepreneurs in this family!

Wanted to treat my mom to a manicure and pedicure while we're traveling . They took us right in without an appointment. We each had someone doing our pedicures and another person doing our manicure. Very clean and friendly staff! We got the aloe pedicure. Omg. So soothing. I highly recommend it! read more

The service was personable, plus the view of the ocean was an extra bonus. I love sitting in the massage chair, as I was being pampered. The lady who did my pedicure took her time massaging my feet and legs with sugar scrub, tangerine, lotion, hot stones, as well as put the hot towels there. It felt really relaxing. The design she did on my nails were amazing and really cute. The manicure was also great. Love how it looks. The place was clean. Never been so pampered in my life. Will definitely return next time I'm in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Best nail salon hands down! High quality service every time, and never rushed out of the chair. The staff always go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable, and you get an awesome ocean view while you get your nails done! read more

Joy Nails II - Acrylic Nail Set - Waxing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Wonderful staff! They were attentive, friendly, and accommodating. My best friend and I were greeted immediately upon entering. They also presented us with a menu of all available services and their respective prices. I love their transparency! All stations were sanitized after every use. Everyone was also kept an appropriate distance away from each other. Service was overall great! My best friend stubbed her toe in the way to my car and chipped the new polish on her toenails. She went back in and they redid all the affected nails at no cost. Will definitely be back anytime I need a manicure or pedicure. read more

I received a gift certificate and decided on a pedicure! It was fantastic, the main complaint I had was that for 4 days afterwards my big toe was still very sore bc she had dug and dug and dug an ingrown toenail and made me bleed. Otherwise it was very relaxing! read more

I have been going to Joy Nails and Joy Nails II for 11 years. They are the very best! Exceptional service, clean, friendly and caring to everyone who walks through their doors. They also give back to our community in so many beautiful ways. I highly recommend Joy Nails and Joy Nails II. read more

I came in for a mani/pedi. There was one woman working and 3 customers total. I'm lucky I went first, because the other two customers just sat in the massage chairs without even any water in the bowls for the entirety of my appointment. I got a gel pedicure in 15 minutes. If you know anything about pedicures, you'd know it should not take that little time. My nail tech did not take her time on a single step of the pedicure. I could have done better at home. I even paid for an upgraded sugar scrub. She just smeared it on my legs and immediately wiped it off. Not to mention she made my toe bleed. After the pedicure, I told her I didn't want a manicure anymore, I paid, and left. I went 3 minutes down the road to KT Nails & wow. SO much better- just go there. read more

Joy Nails II - Waxing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

So yesterday, I just finished a long tattoo session on one of my clients, I wanted to treat myself to a pedicure. Immediately after, I did my research and I ended up picking Joy Nails II on the seawall in Galveston. It was one of the few close ones to me. I arrived and there were no cars, so I was thinking to myself, "alright I will be able to walk in today for sure." It is always a tense moment entering a new nail salon for the first time. I just moved to Galveston almost a year ago so I wanted to find my nail lady or at least a salon. I walked in and there was one lady tending to a client and a couple workers sitting back. I had previously typed on my phone: I want a pedi: white polish no cut, just file. And me having a long day, I was hoping to decompress, get my feet soaked for a bit, maybe get offered a drink, something. So first thing when I walked in, all eyes were on me. Only person smiling at me was the client. I put one of my hand up to greet everyone. The woman in the back who was available was wearing a mask so I obviously could not try to read lips. I could see her brows starting to scrunch up and her mask popping fast like a speaker. I pointed at my feet and showed her my phone. She was so mad I made her read because I realized she couldn't understand English which is TOTALLY fine. It happens. She then aggressively pointed at the direction she wanted me to move and after I did, she grabbed my phone from my hand and gave it to the client so she could sound it out for her. After she sounded it out she swatted at me to go away and move over to another chair and mind you, there are like 10 chairs there and she got frustrated and started waving her hands all wild. I sat down, she didn't do any water, sprayed alcohol on my feet and I wasn't even sitting there 5 mins and she was done. She didn't do a bad job but she finished, put the foam shoes on me and rushed me to get up, I was trying to get up and she was acting like I was taking my time. Hah. I almost wanted to laugh because, what. the hell. is this. I got up finally and I started to waddle to the register. She charged me $14 which is fine but I was prepared to pay 30 or something for a full service but honestly I wanted out of there. I paid and left. I still had wet toes so I just turned my ac for the lower part of my seat and thankfully my car had that so I was able to get it dry before I got home. I arrived tense because of a new environment and left tense. read more

Joy Nails II - Waxing Near Me - Galveston, Texas

Better than average but not the great . They were busy and very rushed. Staff was nice, but extremely hurried to get to the next person. And I did make an appointment in advance. (Tuesday afternoon) Had hands and feet done. It was not relaxing at all, felt like i was part of an assembly line read more

Over the past three decades, I've visited numerous nail salons in Texas and in high end resorts throughout the world. I've tried countless gels, lacquer, dipping power in a variety of colors and styles, but nothing compares to the quality pedicure and French manicure I enjoyed at Joy! The shop is spotless. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Went while on vacation and wishing there was a salon this good near me! read more

Got my acrylic done 5 days ago by day 4 nails started popping off and went in multiple times to fix the nails that keep coming off. Today 12/21/22 2 more nails came off and yesterday another 2 came off. I honestly don't think they are doing the application process correctly because you're not supposed to dip the brush in monomer and put that on top of the primer before you put the color powder on the nail but hey, I'm not a nail tech or nothing so how am I supposed to know? Out of all the years I've gotten my nails done I've never had this experience within 5 days. read more

To start: I have never had a pedicure in my life. Ever. I went with my friend on Friday, June 17, and it was wonderful! Kim was very patient and gentle as she worked, and the French manicure style pedicure came out beautifully! Thanks for the great experience! read more

Came in to get my eyebrows threaded.. The room was nasty, the blanket on the bed looked like it had never been cleaned... I had dip on my nails from a while ago that was starting to chip. I asked while I was in there if they could please SOAK my nails to get the dip off. The lady, Tammy, took some cuticle pliers and just started to rip the dip right off my nails... everyone that gets dipping powder on their nails knows that you are supposed to soak it in acetone and lightly drill it off. It hurt so bad and when I told her not to do that she said "they're lifting up anyways". My nails are so thin now and look awful. I have never left a nail salon more upset! Please please don't go here! read more

Amazing services! Everything was super clean and staffs was very professional. The best manicures and pedicures I've had in a while.

I came in to get my nails done for my birthday. I've been here before to get my nails & eyebrows done & they were so nice to me so I knew they'd treat me right but y'all i'm so impressed !! I've always been into crazy designs & I was kind of scared to ask to get these done but my girl Tammy took on the challenge. She was so sweet & funny & a delight the whole time. We both were really happy with the outcome! Highly recommend it here !!! read more

Very pleasantly surprised when I walked in. The outside was a bit non-descript. It's small and newish but adequate for what I was needing which was just a toe polish. The reason I give it five stars is because of Hannah who did my polish. She was very sweet and did a surprisingly good job! I will be back just because of the very friendly atmosphere. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. My two sisters and mom were coming to Galveston for our cruise and stopped in for a girls day. We were absolutely elated at the joy each person brought to us and they went above and beyond to massage after both manis and pedis and were so sweet the entire time. A++++ 100x recommend. read more

There is no Joy in this nail place lol I had an uncomfortable crappy experience here. I could write a really long review but I'll keep it short and say if anyone is wanting " dipping " powder , there is evidently only one person there that can do this. They did not tell me this on the phone when I made an appointment and specifically told the guy I wanted a full set w dipping powder. When I arrived they tried to talk me into Shellac and I said no after that it all went downhill. They had attitudes and talked about me in their language.. It was rude and made me uncomfortable. My first time going there and my last. This place should change their name to... No Joy Nails lol read more

Service was horrible. My nail stylist was coughing the whole time, yeah she had a face mask but it made me very uncomfortable, I got my nails done on 5/18/2020 and today on 5/20/2020 it broke off and half of my nail came off. I called to just simply ask for my money back because I did spend 43$ on them and they refuse because "they don't do refunds" which is ridiculous for only having them for two days, I tried to be nice about the situation and just simply getting my money back but not offering a refund is ridiculous especially since I can't go get them repaired because it took half my nail off. And I know i'm not the only one with this experience because after I was half way through two separate women walked in at different times with the same problem only differences was they still had a nail. read more

They offer many different packages on the manicures and pedicures, as well as an array of services such as waxing, threading, tattoos, eyebrow tint, and eyelash extensions. It's a one stop beauty shop, minus hair services! read more
