Happy Nails & Skincare

I came here after being on a long 7 day cross country road trip. My feet needed some real TLC. My daughter and I had a mani/​pedi done. Everyone was super attentive and pleasant. The location is a bit tricky… there are 2 nail salons located in the same shopping area. This place is located around the building of the complex.
The nail salon was clean, relaxing music in the background with 1:1 personal attention from each nail technician. Lily took great care of my nails. I’ve got really sensitive feet and she was able to keep my experience pleasant! I’d recommend Lily to anyone who has sensitive feet!
My daughter was offered the same treatment, great customer service! We’re not from the area, but if I was to come back, this is the place I would come back to! Thank you Happy Nails & Skincare!

My girls and I went to Happy Nails many times over the past years. It’s a nice treat for us and we live close by. Michelle and her staff are very attentive and I recommend them to everyone I know especially in the Almaden area.

I have been coming to Happy Nails & Skincare since it first opened, in fact, I was their first customer. I love Michelle and her nail technicians. Whether you are clear and decisive on what you want or if you need help Michelle and the ladies always listen, suggest to give you what you want. I have never had a negative experience here and when I read the bad reviews I wonder if these people are chronic complainers or just generally unhappy. What I love most about Happy Nails is they ask that you have an appointment. If you are a walk in Michelle always checks her book and gives you a realistic estimate as to when she can fit you in. I have gone to other nail places who accept walk ins and the people with appointments get shoved in to a corner and forgotten. I love that Michelle is very accommodating I have gotten to the point that I just text her to schedule my appointment. This is truly the best place I have been to in Almaden Valley and I am glad to have them in the neighborhood. If they ever left the area I would follow them, because that is how much I love Michelle and the girls at Happy Nails & Skincare.

I’ve made three visits to Happy Nails & Skincare. Three pedicures for me, once for nails for my 13-​year old niece. On the plus side, the salon is very, very clean. Love that the tools are either sterilized or used once and disposed of. The hot rock leg massage was wonderful. The issue here is the quality of the polish. My niece’s nails were sloppily done and, even worse, the sides of the nails weren’t painted. She’s had many manis at various places and felt this one was quite substandard. My first pedi seemed fine. But the next two, after two weeks, THE POLISH STARTED TO WEAR OFF! I normally have a pedi every 4 weeks, and have never, ever had polish wear off at any other salon I’ve been to. First time I thought it was a fluke. But when it happened a second time, when I used a completely different color, it’s apparent that the issue is the top coat product that’s used. Disappointing to say the least. On my third visit, I also noticed once I got home that the nail on one of my big toes was cut crookedly… quite an angle to it. No excuse for that to happen. Definitely will not be returning.

I love, love, love this place! There’s a reason you need to make appointments though. If you plan on just walking in with the hopes of getting a mani/​pedi, you most likely will be out of luck. In the first 10 minutes from when my daughter and I arrived, the phone rang 8 times. I texted Michelle a few days prior, who responded back with availability and was able to accommodate my request for a gel fill/​pedi for me and a mani/​pedi for my daughter. The ladies are very gentle with my little one and are very sweet with her.
The hot stone massage is bliss and I love the choices of lotion scents. It’s a nice, quiet and most importantly, very very clean shop. You don’t get annihilated with the smells of nail solutions when you walk in. I just hope Michelle is able to stay in this location.
It is slightly more expensive than up the street at Lovely Nails, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

I love this place! They are so nice and the quality is amazing. My gel manicure lasted a month! The ambiance is great and they’re really friendly. I always do appointments so I would recommend doing that :)

It was okay not the greatest although the place us very clean. Kim was good but I wouldn t say she’s the best I’ve been to. Few of My toe nails color was all messed up after an hour walking around. I thought it was totally dry when I left so I’m not sure how that happened

Amazing place! Very clean and professional, im so happy i found it. Ive been coming here for about 4 months now and i think ive left happy every time

Great experience, my appointment started on time and they were efficient — got my pedi done in 40 minutes! Looks great, and was super clean and relaxing :)

Hi. Just had my lash extensions done by Michelle. She did a beautiful job. My sister liked them so much she went in the very next day and had her lashes done. Can’t wait to show them off at my daughters wedding on Saturday! She also waxed my eyebrows and lip. Quick painless and great results. She was also very sweet, funny but very professional throughout the entire process.

I have come to love this place. I was happy upon first entering just because it is so clean and doesn’t smell like a nail salon. It is open and nicely furnished. I’ve seen some pretty sketchy nail places and this is a major improvement over those.
The nail techs aren’t too chatty, I think are fairly new English language learners, but Michelle, the owner is very attentive and quick to translate if needed.
Last weekend I did something I never thought I would do and got eyelash extensions. I was nervous, suddenly realizing that I was paying someone to use glue so close to my eyes, but Michelle was meticulous and my lashes look great. They make getting ready to go to work in the morning so much faster!

I really liked this place… My kids and I came here late Sunday they did pedis for both my daughters 8 and 6 yrs old it’s $ 20 total for pedi and mani with 2 free design on feet and hands! My girls loved it they were very nice and the place was very clean! I came again today for a pedicure for myself and had a great experience I love that they use opi nail colors and if you pay cash they give you. Discount! For a pedi and hot stone massage it was $ 19.00 cash! I will definitely be back!

This time was a great experience. I got Kim again for my pedi and she did a much better job! My massage was even longer than usual and I overall really enjoyed my time there. Every time I’ve been here I’ve chosen a different lotion for my massage and I think I found my absolute fav one! Citrus mint. Mmm so fresh! Thank you Kim for my fantastic pedi and thank you Michelle for always being so accommodating!

I don’t have much to write about this place other than they did the job. I’ve just recently moved into this area and was in need of a pedicure so I decided to try them. This place seems pretty clean. They have two flat screen TV’s for you to watch shows on (they had bravo on today).
The lady who worked on my pedicure did an ok job. My toes look good. When I first put my feet into the tub, I had to immediately take them out because I was going to be cooked alive, it was SO hot! My foot is still really dry at the bottom, most other places I’ve been to do a better job in scrubbing the bottoms. She didnt ask me whether I’d like it short (I do) but I’m used to being asked. She also didnt say a word to me. Most nail salon ladies small talk with me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a chatter box and would actually prefer to be left alone during the session, just noticed this lady didnt let out a single peep. And when she was scrubbing my feet, I giggled and said it tickled and she uttered an «oh».
The owner, I assume the only guy there, was very polite and nice.

Great experience today! Tried the «pamper me» pedi and mani. Cindy did a GREAT job. Massage was a full 20 minutes for feet/​legs and full 20 for hands/​arms (they set the timer, no skimping!). That plus hot stone was heaven! I had not been coming here much because my experiences in the past were just okay, but it seems like there are now more skilled nail techs, and I will definitely be coming back to Cindy.

I seriously don’t even know where to start. On a whim my friend and I decided to try this place because we were bored one Sunday afternoon and it was within walking distance of where we were. I’ll start with the good. Friendly welcome, pedicure was decent, good weekend hours, lots of colors to choose from, seemed relatively clean.
Now to the bad. Manicures took forever, I had lumps, bumps, hair, under my shellac. My nail perimeters weren’t painted, they had no idea what I meant when I asked for full on glitter on my accent nail. I had to settle for some weird spotty glitter on top of the shoddy nude glitter they put on before. They didn’t listen to my friend when she asked to put a pale pink atop her splotchy 2^nd white coating so she could get that nude pale white/​pink look that OPIs bubble bath has to offer. Instead the tech kept saying, «it won’t look right, use glitter on top.» Why she needed to combine pink and white? Because the OPI bubble bath concoction looked very weird, cheap and off color. And when we told them that, they began chatting with each other in their language which always makes me feel like I’m the topic of discussion and therefore should be privy to the conversation, but that’s neither here nor there because that’s not even the worse part.
Two to three days later, splits, cracks, chips, lumps, bumps, dings, and broken nails all over the place for me and said friend. I had to get my nails redone 6 days later because I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m going out of town this weekend so I planned for the two weeks wear but had to shell out more money to get them done again.
Fast forward to getting my 7 nails wrapped in acetone (because 3 had chipped off completely). 10 minutes later, the color didn’t give, 30 minutes later, nothing. My nail tech had to really scrape and file to get them off and by that time, my nail beds were kaput! My nail tech said its because they used a cheap base and polish, which I believe since bubble bath should be the same color everywhere and shellac/​gel should literally fall off your nails after being soaked in acetone for 10 minutes and especially after 30! Save your money for the gas it’ll take you to find another place. Any other place will probably be better than this one and you’ll thank me later. Smooches!

Clean. Friendly staff. So many colors to choose from. Prices are great. Never have had any issues with a pedicure or gel manicure. Always a pleasant experience. Starting to drag my friends from Campbell to this location as well! Can’t beat it!

I really love this place. They took me in about half hour before they closed on a Saturday. I got a pedicure and manicure with shellac. This was my first time having shellac done. It turned out great. I’ve had it for just over two weeks now and they’re both still going strong! Very surprising for my hands since they get pretty beat up lifting boxes at work.
The owner was super nice and remembered my name. Not to mention she spoke really good English and was telling jokes. It was a relief! She stayed and finished the job after all the other ladies went home. She let me know that they don’t do acrylic. Which I like because it seems to keep the place cleaner (air quality, tables, tools, etc.)
I have high expectations when it comes to customer service since I work with the public. And I have nothing to say about this place, except Thank you for my awesome, long lasting nails! And I will definitely be back.

This is my new favorite place to get my nails and waxing done. It is very clean and well maintained.
I like that they have 10 lotion options and a lot of nail polish colors to choose from.
I also get my waxing done here. Michelle is very good. I like that she takes her time to make sure all the hair is removed.

Been there several times. Always real, always pleasant. Good work An and Michelle.
