Happy Nails

Friendly staff, decent pricing and below average polish application. I came in for a pedicure and was immediately put into a chair with my feet soaking. My wait wasn’t very long. The scrubbing and massage was rushed. My heels don’t look any better than when I came in. The nail tech was really nice but she wasn’t the best at painting nails. Also a lot of the polish bottles are almost empty, so it kind of limits the selection. I will look for another place to get a pedicure.

So, after reading many good reviews, I decided to try out Happy Nails.
The location was abysmal. It was dead silent inside. The nail color selection was out of order and pathetic at best. Most were dried shut, unable to be opened and tested.
The mani/​pedi for $ 35 was mediocre. The pedicure was decent. She took her time and was attentive.
My huge disappointment came when she painted my nails. A manicure is great, but if I leave needing to go home and touch it up, I’ve wasted my money. I attached a picture. The were lumps and hairs from the brushes and the paint job left so much to be desired.
While the staff was friendly, I would not come back. I’d rather a rude staff and a great manicure.

I just moved to Gainesville and found Happy Nails!!! they are great Jenny did and amazing job, and they have great prices !!

They are always amazing here and the prices are very inexpensive! I made the mistake if going somewhere else for a quick fill and never again. Everyone here is so nice and they all do wonderful work!

The most attractive thing about this place is the price. That being said, you pay for what you get. Two days ago I got a mani/​pedi and my nails are already chipping! The girls were nice, but overall the place was not very impressive. I plan to try other salons in Gainesville next time.

It was great, only thing I noticed later that she filed one of my finger nails a little crooked, but otherwise really nice service considering I was a walk-​in (exploring my way) it was 34 bucks for both the mani pedi. And did I mention they have a massage chair for u while u get ur pedi.
However I wasn’t too happy later when I went back for an arm and underarm wax. It was way too expensive for the service provided and there were still plenty of broken hair and some skin abrasion.

There are two things in this world I must do no matter how broke I am and that’s get my eyebrows done (I recommend BrowArt 23) and get a pedicure. That being said, it is such a mission to try and find a place that consistently gives a good pedicure. I think I found it in Gainesville though: Happy Nails.
No matter who you get on staff, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get a good pedi. They’ll always take their time to focus on you, no matter how busy it may get. The biggest perk for me is that they include a hot stone massage on your legs and feet at no extra charge.
Their other services are fantastic as well, including the manis. Kenny is the go to guy for manicures there but I would try to book an appointment since people are always requesting him.
This place is a great gem.
