I came here for regular mani pedi a couple of times meanwhile my daughter was next door on tutoring. Overall they did a good job. The place looks clean and the personnel is friendly. read more

definitely not the place to go to for any design work. several missed spots on my nails. Even after asking to fix them multiple times I gave up. they don't look anything like my inspo picture. wasn't asking for anything to crazy except solid color and polka dots. This is also extremely irritating since my job has a lot to do with show my hands and nails on camera. Do not recommend read more

Jimmy and Candy are true artists! Meticulous and efficient work that lasts 3++ weeks on every fill. Love this place because of the two of them! read more

$15 regular manicure $30 gel manicure $20 gel only Was persuaded to do a gel manicure by the staff, and since I had never gotten one before, I gave it a try, and I love it! My technician did a very clean job, cutting all my cuticles away and helping me match a color. The gel nail polish will last a lot longer than regular nail polish, so I think it was worth the money! read more

Nails So Happy - Gel manicure - $30 - they did a great job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I have been using Mimi over 2 years now and love my nails. People often comment on how nice they look. I highly recommend her. When she travels, I have also used Chris and was equally impressed. read more

Bad service from the guy manager/technician. Very rude to tell me many times to stop shaking my right hand when I told him of my health nerve problem. He is very clueless and very uneducated. My first time to try this place but will never come back. Avalon and Sugarcoat salons all in 210 are all deserving nail places. read more

I had an amazing experience. CANDY was awesome, very sweet , gentle and professional. She did my daughter and myself waxing and also the best manicure I ever had! Absolutely thrilled! Thank you Candy! read more

I love this place. They do amazing work. I can't recommend it enough. I see Cherry and she is a true artist, but the work I see done on other people is extraordinary as well! read more

The only thing I don't like about this salon is that I can't interpret what the nail technicians are saying to one another.... There is always jovial giggling and enthusiastic chatter that makes me wonder if there is some sort of gossipy jokes that are being discussed on behalf of their unsuspecting customers.... That being said, I loved what I experienced here at Nails So Happy!! I didn't even care if I had any nail polish applied to my toes during the course of this pedicure. The massage was lengthy and between the kneading of my feet and calves and the Shiatsu massage the chair was providing, for the first pedicure ever, I almost fell asleep! I was sooooooo relaxed. Ask for Titi Titi when you come in, she is definitely the go to girl for awesome massage and a beautifully done French Pedi!! read more

Nails So Happy - Loving my Pedicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

I love this place.Always busy with happy customers. The pricing is fair and I never feel like they are rushing through my service to get to the customer. Today I stopped in and had a really great pedicure with Mimi. She was so kind, caring and always asking if I needed anything else, was comfortable, etc. you really don't see much of this anymore and I was so impressed at how she went out of her way to ensure I had a nice experience. They will allow call ahead if you need to use this to set an appointment as they do get really busy during peak times. read more

Nails So Happy - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

Let me start this by saying that I have been a customer here for over 6 years, and really use to love going here until the past few months. The service has really started to decline with rushed services, rude nail techs, and sloppy work with higher prices! My last visit, I happened to get Helen as my tech...run the other way if you get her. First, she was rude until it came time for her tip. She also gave me the cheapest pedicure when I asked for one of the more expensive packages that include the hot stone massage. She barley shaped my nails and left the edges crooked. She gave me literally a 1 minute leg massage with almost no lotion. Then, she left nail polish on my skin. Absolutely pitiful, especially for the $28 they charged for that service. Do yourself the favor and go elsewhere! read more

So tried this place for the first time yesterday after seeing some 4 star reviews. I was not thrilled with the "spa" pedicure I received. This was the quickest spa pedicure I ever received and not worth the $28. Also the technician cut way too much of my cuticles off. He showed me a not so clean looking file (which looked like a cheese grater) and asked if I wanted my feet filed. I declined and I'm glad I did. Another thing I thought was strange was how he sprayed alcohol on my feet after the massage (which burned). I've never had alcohol sprayed on my feet before. Nail places typically use Sea Breeze spray. Something else that bothered me was the place had incense burning and it was making my nose itch. My hair smelled like it the rest of the day. read more

I was very happy with the service here on my nails. The lady who did my nails was a pregnant lady I wish I caught her name but she was amazing. I was skeptical at first because of the reviews but don't let that deter you. I was a bit disappointed on my pedicure but it was done by a new lady so I will let that slide, my feet still ended up looking great. The cleanliness and decor of the shop was also nice. I will continue to come here. read more

Nails So Happy - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

So the first time I came here and got a full set, in less than a week my nails started breaking off. So I had to come back and get the ones that broke fixed. So fast forward- i got a fill in. During my appointment!!!! I asked that my nails be thicker due to the length to recent breakage, and not even a full week later !!!!! My nails started breaking yet again. So I call and ask if k can come in and I was told there wasn't a wait. I show up! And mentioned it's happening yet again and I get told that if I was getting a new set there wouldn't be a wait but since I'm getting a repair I have a long wait??? What in the world.... Shady and just unprofessional. Do Not come here. Not worth the drive or money. read more

Such a good place to go and get your nails done and if you even want to get a wax of any type they have it as well!! I've been going here for 6 years and they are wonderful and very kind. Such a friendly place to relax and watch the tv while getting your toes done or nails. I recommend this place 100%! read more

Let me preface my review with I am a former nail tech, so I am VERY picky because of my prior professional experience. Made last minute appointments for 4 pedicures as a fun girl's outing. My normal place was booked. In the future I will try to plan farther ahead, because the pedicures were sub-par at best! The water was lukewarm and I asked for it to be warmer and the tech was not friendly about the request. She asked if I wanted my nails trimmed and barely cut them and the shape of my big toe was crooked. Helen used a cheese grater on my feet without even checking with me, never would have consented to it and she barely touched them with the block file. My children give firmer massages than she did! She only rubbed lotion on my legs and, the foot she did rub, was barely touched. The only reason I gave it two stars was because the place was clean. read more

I agree with another reviewer... Nails So Unhappy. They are not very friendly, nor very clean, and definitely not very good with pedicures. I went twice because you never know when you catch a business on an off day. That was not the case here. The owners/ workers make the customers feel unwelcome. I also like when people speak English around me. It's a little thing but I truly believe you should greet your customers in English and use Vietnamese less. It felt like a foreign film without the subtitles. Not all shops speak exclusively in Vietnamese and that is what makes their customers enjoy the experience more. It was also loud with the barked orders in another language. It's a spa and should be relaxing for the women and men who take the time to have some "me" time. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! If I can give this place a negative five I would. The employees here can't do nails at all and they will overcharge your nails even if it turns out horrible. It was completely different from what I asked for, and when I changed my mind because of how ugly it was, they charged me the same price. Don't even get me started on the shape, it was literally a fill in and they manage to mess it up. They are also very aggressive while doing my nails and was giving me attitude for no reason. Also don't even bother ask them to do any designs, YOU WILL REGRET IT! Whoever gives the employees' nail technician license needs to get fired..... This is by far the worst place I have ever been too. I am sorry for anyone who came here before, and for those who haven't yet, consider yourself lucky ..... read more

got an acrylic full set, they look really good. employees are sweet and got me in and out like nothing. prices aren't bad at all. definitely recommend! read more

Recently had my 3rd visit. The polish always looks bad and I thought a different nail tech would be better but it was still a mess. On my cuticles and uneven. Sadly, not going back here either. I was really hoping.... read more

I made an appointment at the shop on 210, next to Publix, and got SNS put on my nails and my toes painted. The lady that did my nails didn't talk much (which I liked). She did a good job, the shop was clean and spacious, and it wasn't super busy. The only downside I have, it is expensive. To have the same services done at a place about a block away would be $35 (they also do a good job, it's just much more crowded-their shop is much smaller, and harder to get an appointment). This was $50. I won't be back due to the cost, but if they were to get their prices more in line with the other place, I'd rather go here. read more

I paid $35 for a gel manicure. He didn't have his mask over his mouth as he chomped on his gum and did my nails. He finished in less than ten minutes, and it is shown through my already chipping nails; It has only been three days. A regular manicure should have lasted longer than this. I could have done a better job and I am extremely frustrated. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, I brought my younger sister in for a full set of acrylics for her birthday and she left with unfinished nails and bleeding cuticles. Everything was going good up until the woman started to use the electric file and repeatedly nicked each of her fingers, the photo does not do it justice because I snapped it real quick in the heat of the moment. Before I had even known what was happening all of a sudden I see my sister stand up and say ow please stop next thing I know the lady grabs her hand and says here and takes out a spray bottle and sprays her hand with something, right away my sister says what was that it's burning really bad, I told her to go to the sink and run her hands under the cool water. At this point my sister is so upset and her fingers are still burning and they are repeatedly trying to get her to sit down so they can finish her nails she said no I can't finish, my fingers burn. The manager proceeds to tell us we must pay, I said look at her fingers they are not finished and they are bleeding, he says you must pay, at this point I wanted to leave so I said what about half price, he then tells me "no, you have to pay full price, there's nothing wrong with my nail tech there's something wrong with your sisters fingers." Like what? What does that even mean her cuticles weren't bleeding until we came here. So at this point I just pay and he tells me I should probably take her to a doctor and have her fingers looked at Incase they get infected. Thank god they didn't but beware of this place. This situation could've gone much worse than just the horrible terrible service, my sisters fingers could've gotten badly infected. The way her nails look in the photo is what we paid full price for, unfinished, unpolished, bleeding and burning. I felt so bad as it was a birthday present. read more

I love Nails so Happy! I use Deep and she is just a doll. She has given me the best pedicure I have ever had and I've had a lot of pedi's. Stop in and ask for her, you will not be disappointed. read more

BEWARE***HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE***Instead of offering a good customer experience the manager talked on her mobile during half of the pedi. She spent maybe 5 minutes on a lack luster leg massage. The salon was not busy at all and if she didn't have the time to complete a service she could have asked someone else to step in. Others were sitting around on their mobiles. This manager is RUDE. She actually said "she didn't care" when a concern was expressed on her lack of focus. None of the staff blinked an eye at her outburst. ***WILL NEVER RETURN - SO MANY OTHER NAIL SALONS OUT THERE*** read more

I returned to st augustine for my wedding and it so happened that this was the closest to our hotel and the other place that I loved had closed. Everything else was closed or not on the island. I knew it was a mistake and then I walked in. I had my rehearsal dinner that night and I mentioned that to the girl doing my nails and she took her SWEET time. She constantly texted or changed the song on her phone. That is my biggest pet peeve. It took her an hour and a half!!!!!!!!!! Still true to this day : NAILS NOT SO HAPPY!!!!!!! read more

Love this place, they really do a great job and don't charge and arm and a leg. Love the hot stone pedicure.

I had a fantastic experience with an eyebrow wax and basic pedicure. The eyebrow wax took about 10 minutes and the man doing it was very meticulous. The foot massage for each foot was roughly 10 minutes per foot, which I appreciated after running a half marathon the day before. Overall a great job and I will be back. Its a convenient location near Publix on 210 as well. I noticed that one of the bad reviews was for another salon with the same name down in St Augustine on the island. read more

Came here to get my nails done and asked for a relatively basic design. I asked for the price before hand and it came up to around $50. With regular polish, not even gel. However, I sucked it up and just prayed that the nails would be worth it. When it came time to cut the acrylics' length, she simply chopped them wherever she decided without even asking. They were too short for my liking, but, again, I just held it in because I did not want her to take off and re-glue and file the nails. The design came out crooked and rough since she used cheap drugstore design brushes that come with the tube. I honestly could've done a better job myself. In the picture I showed her, one of the fingers wasn't visible so she just made up some ugly design without telling me. The whole time, the lady was distracted and kept getting up in between steps or to use her phone. When she filed and shaped my nails she was incredibly rough! It felt like my whole nail was about to get ripped off my hand and my skin was getting filed off. I probably would've been better off buying cheap press-ons. Do not come here. I usually hate talking badly on small businesses but unless they fix their service, do not waste your money. Literally took 3 hrs of my time and $50 out of my pocket just to be dissatisfied. read more

I usually go here, but have really considered finding somewhere else because they never actually charge what they have advertised. My daughter went in there with average length nails to get a fill, and they were gel filled however she decided to save me money and go with basic nail polish. So with that being said they had advertised a acrylic fill was $20.00 and she also got her eyebrows waxed which was $10.00 except they charged me $40.00 when I confronted them about the misrepresentation of their prices they had clearly advertised they said they were charging me an additional $10.00 to take off nail polish. There was nothing advertised on their billboard reflecting there was a charge for that so again I said that's ridiculous and they conveyed well if you don't like it then leave and we're finished. I was appalled by their attitude when you clearly displayed YOUR OWN Prices out in the open. The nails were not even done that well. After how rude they were I would not give them a second chance nor do I recommend them. They don't prioritize nor do they charge what they advertised. One unhappy customer. read more

I would never go back there again. First, they do not use sanitary practices, they reuse utensils without sterilizing. There was a gentleman walking to the back with a huge ball of paraffin wax...OMG, please do not tell me they reuse the wax. eek! Secondly, the workers were very rude! The gentleman doing my nails kept making rude comments and throwing himself back in his chair almost in a child-like tantrum manner. I was uncomfortable with his actions and was happy when he finally finished. He was sitting in the first chair on the right, and I THINK HE WAS THE MANAGER! read more

I have no complaints at all after going to this nail salon for 9 years. I have never had such courteous and friendly service and great looking nails as well. I run into many repeat customers here who also appreciate the attention to detail. You'll find many moms bringing their little girls in too for hand painted designs on their nails. I would imagine the unkind comments previously posted reflect the general attitude of people who are just impossible to please and leave a trail of misery no matter where they go. What other salons or services have they disparaged because they felt more entitled then a customer sitting next to them.?.You won't be able to get in at prom time when it is full of teens wanting beautiful nails to match their dressed and they can go-anywhere on 210. I have found no other salon that offers a great service and friendly people all in one read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for 8 years. The employees are fantastic and I have never had less than stellar service. I tell all my friends and family about what a great job they do and they too keep coming back as well....I still look forward to my appointmnet every 2 weeks after all these years....NAIL SO HAPPY CR210 is the BEST in my opinion....give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

I went on Sunday to get my nails done and had a wonderful experience. The new remodeling was awesome, they still had a little more to do before completion. Heather my technician was AWESOME!! I have been going to this salon for over 4 years. All my mani/Pedi's have been Great. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon. It's a given most of these places have employees that don't speak that great of English, but they still try their hardest to give you a good experience so you are a returning customer, this place obviously doesn't share this view. I brought my daughter in for both of us to get a mani/pedi, as a cosmetologist myself I noticed a large list of issues from the get go, but ignoring my gut feeling I continued with the service.. My toes were eh. Whatever they usually look ratchet anyways because I'm always barefoot running around the backyard with my kids. But my fingernails were awful, bubbles all over and the nail wasn't even completely painted. When I expressed my unhappiness I was told she didn't have time to fix them, then I said that I wasn't going to pay for them if they wouldn't fix them. Now I was trying to keep quiet because I didn't want the other clients to know what was going on, she started screaming at me and telling everyone what I was saying... Don't forget my 5 year old was standing there watching me get screamed at. The only reason I gave this place 1 star is because I couldn't leave it at 0. I went down the street to another nail salon(by mcdonalds on 210) and they fixed my color with no problems. read more

Much like the prior writer, I walked in and asked if they took walk-ins and the said yes. Then placed me in a filthy seat and made me wait for 45 minutes with my feet soaking in water as I watched other people come in and proceed through their pedicure. When I asked what was going on they said I should have made an appointment. The whole time they continued loud banter in their language. Overall rating is extremely poor as the place is not clean, they are rude and very inconsiderate of their customers. read more
