I enjoy this place. Have been here 3 times now. Each time before this last visit I would pick out the color for my pedicure I want and get it done. This time there was a man at the front who checked me in. I was looking for a color and he was rushing me to the chair and said, "here's a book of colors you can pick from". I've never had gel color before so I've had no experience. I picked a color and got the pedicure done. Was charged $20 more on an already expensive pedicure for the gel color. Understand that it's not the end of the world and I paid for it and didn't say anything. The more I think about it I just feel like they totally scammed me. He never disclosed it was more money for those colors and tricked me into picking from the book instead of grabbing the color I wanted. Even though I love the job they do, there are just too many good places to get a pedicure done that don't try to take advantage of me to make a few extra bucks. I hope it was worth it to lose a customer who was becoming and would have been a very regular customer.

Most racist nail shop I experienced in my life. I went there to get a full set n pedicure when I got there one of the nails ladies told me you know that's gonna be expensive like I didn't have the money. I was pissed and said did I ask you or tell you I'm broke so she wanted me to pay now. I said no wtf. So they did my full gel set I ask her to do what I wanted she says she couldn't didn't know how so I told her to free style since I was there for 2 hrs and my nails wasn't they way I like them. Then the pedicure lady gave me blue toes instead of purple after I showed her the color. I was do over it I just paid $109 for a b******* service. Then three days later two nails broke I went there cuz I was at Vons so I needed to get them done before work. But never again worst experience ever if you black or Hispanic don't go there.

I go here all the time. Everyone is professional and they do a fabulous job. The business is clean and my gels always turn out perfect. I just started having dips done and I love it. I highly recommend Happy Nails.Services: Gel manicures

This is the most AVERAGE experience you will encounter. It's big, much bigger than the traffic demand. I was able to walk in and be helped immediately. Sat for a spa pedicure. Girl was nice enough, spoke no English, so I could not converse at all with her. Took about 45 minutes. Was definitely on the higher end of pricing for a spa pedicure. I would only come back in a bind and if in the area.

The worst job of my life. I came for a gel manicure. The lady started removing my gel polish with an electric file - I wish I got up and left right away. I have my nails done every three weeks, so having an electric file is not something extraordinary but the assumption is that the technician knows her job. She seemed to know what she is up to - apparently not. She badly damaged my nails. I got up 15 min too late, should have never even come. All nails have been dented due to the aggressive use of the electric file. She likely was planning to cover up with polish and nothing would have been noticed. Sorry, that's noticeable. Sloppy and unprofessional.

Since moving back to Scripps Ranch I've been visiting Happy Nails frequently. My gel manicures are well-done and last for weeks! I went in today to have a nail repaired that began lifting. Melissa went above and beyond and freshened up my entire set, free of charge. Made my day! I look forward to returning soon.

last week i went in and asked for a simple design (see reference photo) and the girl that did my nails couldn't do it. i told her in a nice way that what she was doing was not correct or what i wanted and she kept telling me that it was right. she couldn't draw a simple heart and when i would tell her that it wasn't right or it didn't look like a heart she just said that it did look like one and proceeded to do my nails. (see results below) (honestly a five year old could draw a better heart)

I love this place. I have been here a couple of times and I am sure I am going to visit often to pamper myself. Apart from a refreshing pedicure and manicure, I love the massaging chair?. Overall, it has always been a relaxing and comforting experience ?

The woman at the front desk spent more time trying to up sell me than painting my nails neatly. My gel manicure started lifting after one week. She was mad at me for not upgrading my pedicure to a gel pedicure. They gossip about co workers that aren't there.

Melissa is great! She always does a wonderful job making sure you're happy and you're not just a number to her. She's personable and I love from what it seems everyone at the salon really loves her. She makes the salon very welcoming.

I've tried this place time and time again. It seems to be getting worse. Cheap products, poor application. Won't come back.

DO NOT GET YOUR DIP REMOVED FROM THIS NAIL SALON.I had gotten dip done for the first time from another nail salon and my nails had grown out so it was time to have them removed. I had never done dip before so I had never gotten the dip removed. I live just up the street and had gotten an okay gel mani pedi here (very basic to begin with... didnt do my cuticles etc) So i went in for dip removal and a gel manicure. This lady took an acrylic nail and started sliding it under the dip then RIPPING IT OFF MY NAIL BED. It was painful and uncomfortable and I told the lady I had never done dip before and didnt know that is how they took it off. Since I am not a professional and this is supposed to be a verified business... I trusted her doing best practices and continued to wince while she ruined my nails. My nails were absolutely destroyed and traumatized from that process. Literally the tips of my nails were RIPPED... it was worse than a child who bites their nails! I was so concerned and she could see that but she continued to smile at me as if it was normal. I tipped her well even though I was uncomfortable because she really had me thinking that is how you do it and she gave me a decent gel manicure after. As soon as I left I googled and asked some friends about the dip removal process because i just couldnt believe people endured that constanly. In fact my friend persuaded me to do dip because it was better for your nail beds. WELL Just about everyone will tell you that this is absolutely NOT HOW TO REMOVE DIP. It is 100% advised against because of the trauma & destruction it causes the nails. It has been a week and some of my nail beds are still sensitive to touch. My nails are now very weak & thin(and I normally have very strong thick nails.) They will tell you they pride themselves on high standards but that was absolutely not up to standard. I'm praying once my nails grow out again they will be thick/healthy and that this didnt cause permanent damage.*the only reason I didn't give 1 star is because I had gone here in the past and have had good service, but i will definitely not be back to this business after this horrific service... totally destructive.Service: Gel manicures

This place is hit or miss. I think it depends on who you get. I went yesterday to get a basic pedicure and was charged $51 and the lady basically sawed my cuticles with an emery board and rushed the entire time. Did I mention I have a broken leg so she only changed my polish on one foot so $51 for a subpar pedicure on one leg!!!! My toes are still sore from the sawing she did!!
