Happy Nails Day Spa II

I was floored by the décor when I walked in, I only went there because my regular place lillian nail had a wait for 1 hour, lovely place and service

«Lash Extensions…»
Went here on a recommendation from my hair stylist as I wanted to get my eyelashes done. I made an appointment for 6pm with Vivian for lash application and when I arrived at 6:18pm (not from the area and did not anticipate heavy traffic at in that area coming from 10 minutes away on a Sunday evening) I was told I had come too late and she had already begun to do the nails of another client. Totally fine as that was by my own fault. I was passed on to another technician which I really had no issue with as I had never been to this establishment before and had no real preference. As I sat down I attempted to take off my mascara and she insisted it was fine. First red flag. No where have I ever had my lashes done and they allowed me to have ANY product on my lashes. She got started as was done within 15 minutes. I was speechless and confused. Upon getting to the register the flyer had nearly 4 different lash extension options with VERY different pricing options. I NEVER get box lashes ‘professionally’ applied as it is a complete waste of money in my own opinion and gives a fake and cakey look. If you have multiple options for lash extensions why wouldnt you ask me as the client what it is that I am looking for instead of glueing on cheap packaged ones. She said they would last 2 weeks with care and it was MONDAY AFTERNOON when a chunk of 3 in the middle were hanging right off. Incredibly irritating and hoping none of you make the same mistake.

Vivian and Vicky. See them and you’ll be altight! Vicky for acrylic and Vivian for gel manicures. NO to Cindy!!! Cindy us not so great at acrylic. Her foundation isn’t good at all and she doesn’t listen to what you want. The men are alright. Nick and the guy that sits 2^nd row to the right (Isle seat)…Sadly I forgot his name but he is BOMB! He never rushes and is very thorough. Maybe because I’ve been coming here for years and they know my whole family (lol) but my experience has been good each time I’ve gone here EXCEPT that time I saw Cindy. never again.

Do not go to this nail salon and I repeat do not go to this nail salon. I had the worst experience in my entire life here. I had this guy name Ben who was assign to do my manicure and pedicure. When I got in to the chair, this dude start talking shit about me when he was scrubbing my feet in Vietnamese. NOT REALIZING THAT I SPEAK AND UNDERSTOOD everything he was saying about from how ugly I was to how my feet shows that I am a poor person to he stated that he did not want to do my nails because I am probably cheap and tip him poorly what makes the situation worst was this whole entire time this man did not spoke to me about anything except if the water is okay. I was so in shock that he talk so much trash that he is oblivious of who was right in front him. Someone who fucking spoke his language. I was so upset about how bad he was talking about me, I had demanded the manager and when he was confronted he lied in front the manager saying that he didn’t say anything. The manager took me and did my nails and apologize but it was still upsetting because all he told me was he was going to talk to him about it. That was the end of it. Never. Will. I. Ever. Go. There. Again. I feel sorry for people who actually don’t speak vietnamese. I can guarantee they will be talking bad about u.

The negative comments really did make me nervous about coming here. But after I visited I was pleasantly surprised. They did exactly what I asked. They even offered wine! lol the lady that I had on my full set did move very fast and that does make you think she’s rushing but the end product was lovely. My pedicure Is always bittersweet because my feet are extremely ticklish so I can’t really enjoy it. The lady did a great job with the application of the white polish however

they have horrible customer service & they rush to get you in & out. i only visit this salon for quick fixes because its close to home. this was my third & final visit!

I came to this salon because I was in the area and had time to kill. Bad idea… I got an acrylic fill-​in and it took all of 15 minutes! I’ve never been to a salon that rushed through my service so quickly! I literally blinked and she was done.
As for the nails… she put the acrylic on so sloppy! Acrylic all over my skin. Which wouldn’t had been so bad had she been diligent enough to clean it up afterward. Didn’t happen! Then she used that electric file thing and was soooo rough. I guess she called herself cutting my cuticles but she took way too much off. And cut them in some places so it looks like I have a bunch of peeling skin on my fingers.
She did a decent polish job. But I wouldn’t come back here. The price is comparable to any other salon in the DMV, so I would def go elsewhere for a better experience.

Wanting to feel pampered? Don’t come here. Wanting to feel like you money is well spent, don’t come here. My boss took our office for pedicures but since I’d recently got one I ended up getting a French gel manicure. Not sure if it was my luck but I think I got the owner. She was doing 100 +1 things, kept trying to convince me to get inlay or onlay, whatever the fuck it is even after I said no. Vicky, Vivienne whatever dressed nice but seemed to out more attention to her attire than her customers. She had spent 2 – 3 minutes cutting my cuticles managed to book maybe 2 appointments and started another customers pedicure all the while attending to me. The white on the nail wasn’t even on each finger and blamed it on the fact that some nails were longer than others because I filed them (of which I only filed the edges) and left them uneven. I almost thought I wasn’t gonna get a hand massage but managed to sneak one in that lasted 15secs/​hand. My gel manicure only lasted me 4 days and even after the bad experience decided to go back to let her fix it and she was so rude and accused me of picking at it and said it was because I had short nails. Day 6 and I’ve just decided to peel them all off, and yes, I still have nasty looking cuticles. Don’t come here if you’re looking to feel pampered. They definitely just lost a costumer.
Oh! Side note, she talks shit infront of you to her co-​workers.

Good service love my nails! I will be going again! Selena was great and she did a great job on my nails, toes, and eyebrows. It was expensive but worth every dime.

My first time here about 3 weeks ago, was ok. My nails and toes looked perfect! I did a hot, neon pink color and I honestly looked like I did gel. That’s how precise the application was. I do not like gel or acrylic or tips on my nails. I prefer my natural nails and toenails polished. I also did eyelashes, which were problematic. Vicky, might be amazing at nails but not lashes. They were left too big and puffy. They felt heavy and when I got home and inspected more thoroughly, I saw what a sloppy job she had done. There was glue everywhere. Needless to say, I went bald due to pulling out these lashes in 2 days. The only problem with this visit is that I made a 4 o’clock appt, and she saw me maybe at 4:30? Also, there’s nothing more annoying when they try to pass you off to someone else and say, «Ok go to the back, so and so will take care of your pedi.» I stood my ground and said «No, I made an appointment with you, I’ll wait.» What I don’t get is if you have a 4 o’clock, you know you cannot take a full tip set at 3:50 and think you’ll be done. That was annoying, but my nails made up for it… Because I usually go to Bliss on Lexington and 59^th in NY, transitioning out here and finding nail technicians that can actually do decent job (note decent, not great being the operative word) has been difficult. I will come back, until I find a great nail technician.
As far as environment, g-h-e-t-t-o…ok, this is not a spa, so do not expect a spa-​like relaxing experience. It’s in the hood in New Carrollton. One woman walked in telling anyone who would listen that her father died… and we all knew not because she was telling us, but because she was having a convo on her cell phone on speaker and she refused to switch or even say goodbye. I was relaxing on the pedi chair, having my feet massaged… and she totally killed that vibe. So let’s just say it can be loud, and this is not the establishment for professional, working class people. But like I said it will do. From what I read on here, Vicky is the go-​to. She’s nice and friendly however my prob is do not try to add on more products and services, once I said «NO» that’s it, leave me alone, drop it… Well guess what on my 2^nd visit, she asked if I wanted a special callous remover for an additonal $ 5. I sure didn’t because I’m always on my treadmill and number 1, the callous can come back, and secondly, my feet need the protection from the treadmill. I remember her scrubbing vigorously, but I thought this was the regular pedi, I certainly didnt feel anything «extra,» however, at the end, she said she charged me an extra $ 5 for the remover. I told her I would pay for it, but I did not want it and I told her I did not want it .So when you go, just be aware and question everything if you’r not sure, so you don’t get hit with extra charges. She does her job, but I have a feeling if I was getting a full tip set with airbrush, designs, rhinestones and all the other nonsense – yes, it is THAT kind of establishment & spending more money she would be a whole lot friendlier.

Now I always come to this location because its close to my house. But no more!!! The lady name CoCo drop and metal foot cleaner on the floor and picked it right back up, and used it on my feet. I was like oh no in my mind what is going on, then she stop! Very unsanitary. Everything just happened so fast! Then she would bring out clean metal foot cleaners with dirty ones, and its no reason for clean to be by dirty, I watched her very closely to make sure she did not use it on me. Now these are the same metals that can transfer deadly diseases. And when she so called waxed my eyes, I realize after I left that she did not clean it up, so there where still a lot of hair. When i say keep it thick and not thin does not mean don’t take off hair at all!

Vivian is excellent. Tell her Gigi sent you! Customer service here is excellent. Upscale salon with reasonable prices.

Everyone must go see Vicky!!! That girl is amazing, I’ve been going to her for about a year after my last nail tech moved back to her country. Some days I give Vicky a picture to copy and somehow she makes my nails look better than the picture! Other days I tell her to surprise me and I am just speechless when I see the designs she comes up with. And if Vicky isn’t there on a day you decide to go, ask for her husband, Atin. He does amazing work as well!

This is my favorite nail salon. I get basic mani-​pedis there. My favorite person is Tin. He is real sweet and very thorough if you have calluses. He keeps my feet clean and warm and does a great job on my nails.
As others have noted, the parking can be a pain. But, the Starbucks next door makes up for that, in my opinion.

I absolutely love this place. The nail techs are very polite and professional. The atmosphere is very clean as well. The prices are reasonable and the service is great. I go just about every other week for a mani and pedi and once a month for a facial. Love this place!

Visit Vicki, shes quick, professional and does an awesome job! She’s very good at designs and 3d designs and she does great gel mani’s as well…

I was in a jam, pressed for time and my nails desperately needed a fix, so I opted to get a polish change (ONLY). I would say that they did a less than mediocre job AT BEST! The first thing that I noticed after the nail tech finished was that the side of multiple nails were missing polish. Also, one of my nails had a bubbled look. So I told the nail tech, and she applied more polish, which resulted w/​some of my nails being darker (due to having an extra coat). She also carelessly got polish on one of my fingers and failed to (even try to) get it off… At that point, I just didn’t even say anything.
The nail tech next to me seemed to do a great job on her lady… I guess it’s just the luck of the draw… and my luck had run out. Or it could have been the fact that the lady next to me got a full set of acrylics plus designs on all 10 fingers, so she paid at least $ 50, while I paid $ 8… So it could just be that money talks… and my lil’ $ 8 wasn’t motivating enough to get top quality service.
Anyway, I sat about 20 minutes to let my nails dry, then carefully drove home (approx 20 min)… No nail mess-​ups while going home. I sat around the house for a few and then went to bed. So I would say that a good 50 – 55 minutes passed from the time my nails were polished to the time I hit the sack. The next morning, ALL of my nails were smudged. Apparently my nails had not completely dried, which was utterly ridiculous that they were not dry in almost an hour. Immediately my mind jumped back to the moment when the tech put the top coat on and I remembered how old and decrepit the top coat polish bottle looked, but I didn’t pay it any mind… Well, I should have. Because my nails now looked like a 6 year old had polished them. Needless to say, I will NOT be coming back to this place again!

I came in today to see Nick. Even though he wasn’t at the salon when I got there, I made sure to come back a couple hours later to see him. Nick is hilarious and very talented. This time our conversation was different. …we laughed and chatted about everything. I told him that I was going to my brothers wedding in Jamaica on this coming Thursday & I told him that my dress was yellow and he matched my gel manicure & pedicure perfectly to it. He even came out with a great design. Nick is AWESOME and gets 2 thumbs up from me.

This business is ok they do pretty good work. They could wipe the hands stations down.

They do the best eyebrows here! I’ve gotten a few pedis and manis here, and I was throughly pleased. It’s very clean and beautiful inside (which is REALLY important to me.) The staff are really polite, and enjoy talking to their customers. If you have to wait, it won’t be long. They’ve never had me waiting for an outrageous amount of time. Walk-​ins are welcome.
The only thing is the staff tries to sell your the stars, moon, and the sky when all you want is the stars… I understand they are trying to make money but I’ve already expressed I wanted the stars… not the moon and the sky!
They also feature spa services here, but I’ve never tried. But judging on how clean the place is, I’m sure they’ll be to your liking.

They are clean, great services and people. Big and they do a good job, I always come and get a mani/​pedi sometimes I do their spa packages mostly where they take you in the back to their private VIP room. The prices are very reasonable! I recommend this place to anyone that loves to pamper themselves.

I was in Maryland for business and didn’t have a chance to get a mani/​pedi before I left. I found Happy Nails Spa while looking for a place to eat and thought it looked like the kind of place I went to at home. It was very big and the people were very nice. I didn’t know about any specials so I just ordered ‘off the menu’. I had a great pedicure with a massage for $ 35 and a basic mani for $ 15. The girl did a good job. I would go here again, next time I’m in town and need these services.
