Happy Nails is a very well-run, clean and pleasant salon. All of the staff are welcoming, polite and friendly. I usually have Gina do my manicures, and she does a fantastic job for me. She always makes my nails look great. I know people who go to the other manicurists, and they are also very pleased. I've known the owner Carla since 2007 when she was a manicurist and manager at another salon, and it's very nice to see that she owns 2 salons now that are doing very well. She has always been a hard worker, and she has set a high bar with a good work ethic and desire to please her patrons that all of her staff follow. Thank you Carla, Gina and all the staff at the Montvale Happy Nails Salon.

So unhappy with this place. I had high hopes because the lady who took down my appointment was very kind and when I arrived I was seated right away. However a few minutes into my gel manicure a customer came to my nail tech without an appointment asking her if she could fix her nail. The lady doing my nails said “10 minutes” to her. Meanwhile my manicure literally just started. The nail tech rushed through my manicure so much she did not even leave my nails under the UV light to cure the full 60 seconds and when I pulled them out at the end they were still wet. The polish also does not completely cover my nails on my right hand. I have no doubt that this manicure will not last more than a few days which is ridiculous considering you pay $35 plus tip. Everywhere else I’ve been to around here has left my nails in 60 seconds each coat and at the end an extra 5 minutes to be sure it lasts. The pedicure I had was nice but the lady who was giving my pedicure kept trying to get me to do a manicure and I explained multiple times I had literally just finished one. Poor service for the price I paid. So disappointed as I was getting my nails done for an engagement. With my manicure experience I will not be returning.Services: Pedicure

I LOVE Happy Nails?I go to Park Ridge but also one in Pearl River. Gina does such an amazing job on my nails. It’s relaxing extremely clean and ALL the staff are super super nice…it’s like a community/family kind of place. Carla the owner is super cool and welcoming to everyone who steps in the door. 5 ⭐️

Gina is amazing!!! She transformed my sorry nails into clean and stunning nails!She is very gentle with the gel removal And is a perfectionist with the new color!! I've tried a lot of local salons but this is the BEST! Last time I had the orange peel pedicure and let me tell you this was transforming- my rough tough heels became soft and smooth- I look forward to my appointments here because of such high quality service and products. I highly recommend this salon

I've known Carla since I was an infant and my mom would go to her in Park Ridge. I've never had any issues here and always received great service.

Gina did my gel manicure today and she was AMAZING!!! Very gentle taking off the old polish- other nail salons I’ve been to are in a rush and really hurt me. I showed her a Pinterest pic of the design I wanted and she replicated it perfectly!!!I’m so happy and excited to show off these fun winter nails. I’ve also had pedicures here. They use top shelf products and they are so relaxing. My pedicure has lasted 3 weeks with just regular polish- definitely give Happy Nails a try:)Services: Manicure

This was my first time at this nail salon. This was the most painful UV gel set I’ve ever received. I went to the nail salon with my cuticles perfectly fine and without a cut on my fingers or hands and left out of there bleeding. When I tell you she cut me up to the point where I started bleeding. I asked her to be gentle the first time she cut me with the filing tool. Then she did it again and again and again. It got to the point where I started pulling away from her every time she cut the side of my finger. What made it worse was when she grabbed the cuticle cutter to cut. I asked her not to because she filed away all of my cuticles and I am in pain. She told me that I have hangnails, I informed her that you filed all of my cuticles away to the point that I am bleeding, there’s isn’t anything there for you to cut besides skin which you have already cut too deep. I don’t think she knows what she was doing, till I ask one of the ladies for something to clean my cuts and that when she started saying sorry, I’m sorry. By that time it was too late because she refused to listen to anything I was saying to her. At this point, I didn’t care what my nails looked like I was ready to go. I spent $100.00 just to receive a painful service. Never again, I will not be going back. Why is it so hard to find a great nail salon?

I just got a french gel manicure here this morning and I won’t ever go anywhere else, the service was amazing and my nails look great (especially my mini pinky toe nail)! I wish I got the girl’s name who did my pedicure, but I HIGHLY recommend! I will be getting my manicures here as well in the future!Service: Pedicures

No clue what the bad reviews are about, but DISREGARD them. This place is amazing. I am a licensed cosmetologist. I did nails for many, many years myself and i also ALWAYS did my own gel nails and pedicures. I started treating myself to getting my nails done in 2009 and that’s when I met Carla (2009). It was at another place where she worked at the time as the manager and doing nails. I’ve never left her since. When she opened her first salon, i followed her. She opened her second salon (Happy Nails in Montvale) and i followed her there from her first place because the Montvale location is closer to me than her first place. But make no mistake, i would follow Carla and her salon and workers ANYWHERE. They are really good at what they do. The girls who do pedicures are absolutely TERRIFIC. My girl is Joanna and i LOVE LOVE LOVE her. But to be honest, they are excellent, although I’m loyal to Joanna. I am ridiculously picky with my nails and i am literally afraid of the electric file (i know, I’m crazy and I’m a nightmare), but Carla deals with my antics and she has NEVER hurt me. I don’t like to go to anyone else for my nails or feet but recently Carla was out for 2 weeks and i tried someone else there. Normally, i would wait until Carla came back no matter how grown out my nails were. But this time i agreed to try someone else. I got Michelle. She did a BEAUTIFUL job on my nails and i was EXTREMELY happy. I would go back to her if Carla was too busy or not available. I bring my elderly mom here and she gets a terrific manicure and pedicure no matter who she gets that day. Carla and all her employees are top notch and professional. You get what you pay for. I’d pay anything to get the job i get on my nails and feet. The pedicures….hands down the best ever. Joanna is my baby girl!!! She is the sweetest and most patient person I’ve ever met. She appreciates her clients and she’s so polite and most of all, she does the best pedicure I’ve ever had. Anyone who says anything bad about Happy Nails doesnt know what they’re talking about. Carla is a great business women with a great business ethic and it shows with her success. I knew her when she worked for someone else and i am so proud of her success. She is a real person and truly cares about her clients. I’ve known her for 13 years. I’ve never left. I never will. Go here!!! You won’t be disappointed.Alexa ParrinoServices: Manicure
