Happy Nails

Absolutely love this place, they are so nice and my manicures are always top notch. Id recommend to make an appointment though because it is a small place and usually pretty full

I don’t know if this was just an off day or what but I have never been so disappointed after coming here My fingers are aching, there are angry red stripes beneath the gel where she gauged into my nails. She nicked, stabbed or dremeled my hands at least five times and the only response I got was that she was tired. Not even an «oops». It’s 3 in the afternoon and the place was empty, so why so fatigued? I will try coming back one more time, but will be specifically requesting someone else. Even as I’m typing this I’m noticing how uneven the paint is and how unfinished it all looks. So very disappointed. I think I’m going to go home and try to soak these off. I hate this so much. As I’m sitting here a piece of the underline just chipped off! They look diseased.
However after I had a chat with Abbie, she took me back in and fixed my nails! They still ache but at least they don’t look horrible any more. I am so relieved, was so scared I was going to have to live with that for two weeks, my hands are very visible for my job, so that would have been terrible.
So if you go here, please ask for Abby if you want a good job on your hands. Julie is wonderful as usual for pedicures.

I have been here a couple times none of them have been great experiences. I won’t be going back after today; shillac nails start to peel off within a week and today mine peeled off within an hour of leaving on one of my nails. They are very rough with their pedicures, the other two ladies next to me today also mentioned it to the employees and kept saying «ouch». The last time I went in the water was so hot it burned to put my feet in. I went here after going to another salon that was a little more expensive and I was looking for a better price… but you get what you pay for.
I will gladly pay a little more up the street to be able to enjoy my pedicure.

Went here because of the glowing Unilocal reviews… meh. It’s not bad, but it’s not good. It’s a very standard Vietnamese nail salon with some techs that are obviously more skilled than others. Note that other reviews mostly praise Abby and Julie– unfortunately, neither worked on my nails.
When I first walked through the doors, it was very «norm». Greeted with, «Hi, how may I help you?» followed by, «Pick a color».
The woman next to me was balancing a UV nail lamp in her lap while one tech worked on her pedicure and another worked on her manicure. They were chattering to each other in Vietnamese and randomly acknowledging the woman with a few English words here and there.
I hate getting manicures done in the pedicure chair, and it wasn’t even crowded. To top it off, the tech working on my manicure accidentally cut me. HARD. I understand we make mistakes, so I brushed it off and assured her I wasn’t mad. At first.
She cut me so bad that blood was literally pooling up in my nail bed and covering the whole thing. She kept dabbing at it with a paper towel and applying a blue liquid on the wound. Not only did it burn like crazy (To be expected), but there was so much blood she was getting it on the brush and consequently dipping my blood back into the bottle. Hahahaha, so gross!!!
This blood/​blue liquid dipping went on for a while, when I finally asked her to leave it alone and please just give me a bandaid. She said «Okay, I’ll help you» and proceeded to put nail polish (A clear top coat, specifically) on the cut. This is when I finally got mad– clearly, putting more and more junk on the cut was not helping. Not only was it painful, but I cringed at the thought of other people’s blood possibly mixed in their polishes.
Anyway, when she finally got me a band aid, instead of covering the cut with the gauze portion, she covered it with the sticky part! Oh my goodness… I re-​applied the bandaid myself and she continued with my manicure. She insisted on putting polish on my abused nail so I finally just let her.
You guessed it, she made sure to put extra nail polish on the cut, and did not offer any sort of apologetic discount. I didn’t bother asking for one, and didn’t want to waste my energy having to negotiate some sort of compensation. I just wanted out of there, ASAP!
Long story short, I would have rated this place a 3 for being a very standard nail salon. I dropped it to a 1 due to literally seeing my blood get mixed into one of the nail polish bottles. Accidents happen, but being insanitary with shared products is not acceptable.

I haven’t even left yet, but I have to post a review so I don’t forget. This is easily the best nail experience I have experienced in Snohomish county. I came in at 11 on a Sunday (right when they opened) and they were visibly slammed. The woman that approached me didn’t try and sugar coat anything, she asked if I could come back. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this! It shows they value their customers time. So I came back at 1, she greeted me, repeated what I wanted (pedicure and full set acrylics), and had me pick out a color. I typically have a hard time conveying what I want for the shape of my nails… I don’t know how short and round is confuaing, but I am not in the industry! The woman who did my hands got the shape PERFECT. My pedicure was awesome and relaxing, and they were able to do both at the same time, allowing me to be in and out in just over an hour. All things considered, plus the super competitive price, I will definitely be back. The single downside I noticed was the lack of available polish colors. But that doesn’t bother me too much as I have so much at home, I’ll just bring what I want next time.

The best nail salon I’ve been to in a while! Walked in and was immediately greeted at the door. I brought my 5 year old daughter in with me and she got her nails painted. They were super nice to her and let her take her time picking out her colors. I got a full set and was very pleased with the outcome. What really makes me happy is that they actually talk to you while doing your nails lol! Even one nail technician sat in the waiting area with my daughter and held a conversation with her while my nails dried. Definitely my new go to place!

First time, i came today to get my gel manicure and delux pedi with Sally. she is very nice, friendly and professional. she did as amazing job on my hand and feet. Abby who is the manager (i guess) is nice too, she always take care about clients. Moreover, the salon is very clean. i highly recommend this place. Must come

Abbie is the best!
Friendly, quick and very professional
Salon is clean
Amazing job by Abbie and Julie!

Went here 2 weeks ago for the first time to get a shellac gel manicure. Firstly, they were very welcoming when I walked inside. Immediately was seated with a technician, unfortunately I can’t remember her name. Anyways, she was very gentle and listened to what I wanted. She didn’t pressure me to get anything extra. Also my manicure has lasted these past two weeks perfectly. It is just now starting to need to be redone. Definitely going back and have been recommending this place!

This review is specifically for Abby who is the nail technician at this salon. I got acrylics for the first time with Abby (after asking a friend where she had gotten hers done) and she did the most amazing job.
I don’t like having my nails look «fake» — I just wanted to have something durable that wouldn’t chip or break for my job where I have to deal with clients every day, and Abby completely understood. She keeps them short and looking natural and I get compliments all the time on how great my nails look and people asking what I do to them. No one ever suspects that I have acrylics.
One day I asked her where to buy OPI shellac polish because I wanted this specific red for fall and she asked me the name of the color and went and bought it for me! She is such a sweetheart and works really hard to make her clients happy. She even does touch ups for free!

I absolutely love this place great customer service, my nail lady ivy only comes in at 1 now and I didn’t know and so she specifically came in early just to do my nails. They know my daughters name and ask me how she is doing :) this place is awesome and I would recommend it to any one! It’s very neat and clean and organized I’m never dissatisfied

This is by far my favorite nail salon in WA! I’ve brought my mom, dad, boyfriend and little sis for gel manicure and pedicures. Prices are fair but the quality is outstanding!
The ladies are super friendly and they talk to you! Which is very nice compare to other places where the people don’t talk to u. :)
I always get my gel manicure done here and sometimes it last till 3 weeks!!! You should def’ly try it out!

First off, don’t go into happy nails with expecting a luxury looking spa, because it’s definitely not. It’s pretty bare when it comes to décor. That being said though, they are incredibly customer focused and do a great job! I felt like I was at the «Nordstrom» of nail salons. Ivy did my nails and she is my new favorite! She was very good about getting to know me and chatting a little, but also taking note of when I wanted to just read my magazine. She would make sure I was enjoying the process, and asked for my opinion several times if I liked how my nails were turning out. For my manicure the color I picked didn’t turn out like I thought it would and ivy was quick to grab me a color she knew I was really looking for and redid my nails for me! She was so sweet and I’ll be back for sure! You can request a person to do your nails when you make an appointment, and I would highly recommend asking for Ivy!

Excellent pedicure. Will for sure be back! Sugar scrub was excellent. Great value! Everyone is nice and friendly. NOt to long of a wait at lunchtime.

After the other place that I go to refused us, we came right next door to Happy Nails. They were so polite from the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. There was about a 10 minute wait which was fine.
They don’t have a huge polish selection here but in a way, I appreciated that. Pedi will run you $ 22 but they do the sugar scrub massage which usually costs extra at other places.
I love the fact that they actually talk with you and joke around with you. Most of the time it is pretty awkward in nail salons.
I think I found my new pedi home.

I only got waxed there by Julie but oh my goodness!!! I wish I lived here she’d be my main girl! I have been getting my eyebrows waxed for 9 years now and they’ve never come out this perfect! She’s super nice and takes the time to make sure they come out symmetrical and perfectly trimmed! Every time I come into town I’ll be looking to her to do my eyes!

Was looking for a new nail salon and was extremely happy with «Happy Nails». I had a full set of acrylic nails put on and was in & out under an hour. Very excited about this, plus comfortable atmosphere. Very friendly and reasonable prices.

I love HappyNails! Susan does my nails, waxing etc. Ivy puts all the fancy designs I want on my nails. Everything is clean and all the ladies are professional. I have been going there over 2 years now. Very reasonable. Highly recommend.

I love this place. The pedicures are cheap at only $ 20. You even get a nice leg massage that feels amazing! Susan is the lady that owns the place and her sister (I forgot her name) is the one that gives the best massages! If you can, ask for her to give you a pedicure. She is the best, she really takes time to massage your legs and feet rather than just rubbing them.
They also provide Shellac, which is a gel based nail polish and lasts up to two weeks. I personally can’t keep a clean, fresh manicure without chipping my nails or pealing the polish off. Bad habits! But with the shellac, it has lasted for two straight weeks and allows my nails to grow out. Shellac is a little bit more expensive but it is totally worth it. Their massage chairs are wonderful. However since they are used so often, the buttons on the massage chair remote don’t work very well. Sometimes you have to push reallllly hard to get them to work but they eventually do. It sometimes can just be an inconvenience.
It is really easy to make an appointment here, Susan will always cater to your needs and make it work no matter what. She is the best. You can tell her I recommended you when you go!

I’ve had no problems with this place. A pedicure is just $ 20 so that’s pretty awesome. It’s your typical small nail salon; you’re not going to get an hour-​long foot massage or treatment, but it’s $ 20 for a pretty good pedicure so I’ll take it!
Everyone seems nice enough. It’s true that some of them don’t necessarily speak the best English but I also am not going to a nail salon for conversation. There are plenty of trashy magazines I can read instead. :)
I’ve only had nails painted here, no acrylics or anything, but it’s always been done well and has lasted.
