Happy Nails n Spa

This place is poorly run it’s cluttered dirty and they don’t have enough staff to even handle clientele that comes in the door so they seemed rushed in a hurry of course it wasn’t enough people there to work in the door so she did a rushed sloppy job on E and I am not happy they seem nice enough but this place needs to be inspected by the board cosmetology

Came for a manicure and gel pedicure. I love when they can do both at the same time, saves time for me! They got me in right away on short notice and did a great job on both. The salon is clean and the décor is nice and updated. They have about 10 spa chairs for pedicures and 8 – 9 manicure stations. I liked the spa chairs, great massage… the only thing is this is the first time I had a chair massage your thighs and butt! I got quite a surprise when it turned on! Whoa! I could not figure out how to shut that part off. I feel like the prices are very affordable and plan on returning again. The only negative I would say is I called twice and they don’t pick up their phone.

Got an amazing calf and foot massage during the pedicure, they painted my nails in the fun way I wanted. I will return, and soon.

I go to this nail salon exclusively because Holly does the best job on my nails. I get the pink and white nails. They always look perfect. They also do a great job with pedicures. They are also very competitively priced. I’m always happy with the service I receive and the results.

I was really hopeful that this place would stand up to at LEAST a 3 – 4 star review, but my pedicure is horrendous (and that is after me asking twice that they clean up the polish, which was all over my nail beds.) This place was hopping on a Sunday, but I was happy to have an extra long soak (30 minutes) before they started working on my feet (I’m fairly confident they forgot about me.) The man did a 3 star job on the massage, cut, cuticles, and exfoliation portion but I was only getting the basic pedi so I could let that slide. But the polish job is just terrible, I’m super disappointed and left no tip because it wasn’t even worth the $ 20 (with a coupon.) Do yourself a favor and skip this spot in lieu of another chain nail place in the area.

I went to Happy Nails on Saturday. I went to their website first,
, to see what the cost of a gel manicure would be. It was $ 22, which is a lot less than other places. However, when I arrived, it was actually $ 27. I figured, it’s only $ 5, so I got my manicure. The girl didn’t make eye contact with me one time, and the guy next to her was the only one who spoke to me the whole time. All of those things I could overlook, however, it’s Thursday and my gel manicure is already peeling! She only did two coats of color, where most places do 3 or 4 and last at least 10 days with no peeling. Honestly, there are a million places to get a gel manicure, just go somewhere else!

I used to go here all the time for manis and pedis. It isn’t very expensive and it is nearby. But the last time I went, my gel manicure peeled in about 3 days. I haven’t gone back because I don’t want to waste my money. I will have to find a new nail place in the area!

I chose this place on a whim. I needed a pedicure BADLY, and I pulled off hiway 5 near a Walgreen’s, reasoning that the shopping center behind it was likely to have a nail salon.
That’s how I found Happy.
I went in, and was assigned Juliette. Juliette had tons of personality, was talkative (which I like) and we had a fun rapport and chatted throughout the pedicure. She actually upsold me to a Deluxe (which NEVER happens), just because she was doing such a great job on the standard pedicure.
I should say here that I really like having my toenails done because I can’t do as good a job myself – but I am usually not very impressed by any of the other work on your feet that they usually do. It might SEEM great at the time, but my feet are usually still scraggly when I check their smoothness when I get home. I feel like on my feet and callouses, I do a better job than most places, and I often wish they would offer an option for Toes Only.
That was absolutely not the case with Juliette, at Happy! She did a great, and very thorough job on everything, I still have the callouses I need for my athletic pursuits, but everything from the calves down is smooth and wonderful. Not only would I go there again, I will book my appts with Juliette. (And it’s not in my neighborhood!)
I also had her give me an eyebrow wax. The mirror there was in kind of a dark area, so I didn’t know until I got home and looked in my lighted mirror, that she had also done a very fine job of that as well.
I hesitate posting this review because now it might be hard to get an appt with her when I want to!
(Only giving 4 stars because the salon, while fine, is nothing special in and of itself. If they had offered me a bottle of water, that would have been a nice touch.)

This is the only place I go to get pedicures. Out of all the times I have been there (10ish times), I have only had a «not so great» experience twice. Once one of the ladies kept suggesting a special foot treatment because my feet were «so dry.» She asked like 3 times, so that got annoying. Another time I had a small piece of my toenail not clipped all the way and it would push in on the side of my toe (painful!) but I think that could happen to anyone. They always do good work, so I would recommend it.

My best friend and I went in with her daughter that is 5 yrs old for a pedi/​mani. My experience was fine. However hers was completely different. The french manicure was crooked, the lines on her french manicure (underlined black to match her dress she was wearing the next day) was so crooked it looked as if her 5 yr old daughter did it and on top of it they took her daughter and put rhinestones and a flower on her nails without asking the adult then had the nerve to charge her for the service! I had her go back in and complain after she showed me how horrible everything looked when we got into the car. She came back out with nothing on her fingers and toes! The nail salon insisted that they remove all polish before she left!!! That and she was only discounted $ 20 after all of the money she spent. Mine was great… hers was bad…

I love this place. I have been going here for 5 years and it just seems to get better. The staff, the service. the atmosphere… I am lucky to live only a short drive away but I feel I would travel 30 miles for this experience. I always feel like a million bucks when I leave and people always compliment me on my nails. Happy Nails is definitely the best!

Was in desperate need to get some too-​long, too-​gross acrylics taken off my fingers, and I found this little place close to work! I stopped in during lunch time, and was in and out within 15 minutes!
She did a wonderful job, and was careful not to ruin my nails underneath. She buffed and shined them and they look good as new!
Love the cozy atmosphere… go during the lunch hour… I didn’t have to wait at all and they accept walk-​ins!

This is easily my favorite nail place and if I ever go anywhere else I end up regretting not going to Happy Nails. The prices are competitive and I love the pedicure room, its so soothing and the chairs are really nice. My favorite part is the hot towels they wrap around your feet, which I haven’t found many other places. I always really enjoy my visit to Happy Nails.

I agree with the others, as this adorable family owned nail place seems to be an Eden Prairie secret, and a great place to go for a deal.
I have been frequenting this place, every since my high school dance days. Holly has gotten to know my family well, and they are always very friendly and accommodating at getting everyone booked at their specific time of interest. They recently remodeled, and the place looks great! There are an overwhelming amount of pedicure chairs now, and they are always staffed will enough people, as it tends to be hopping every time I’m in.
My fave deal of theirs is their Mani & Pedi deal for a mere $ 30. I went last week, and they were able to do both at one time, and I was out in a little over an hour. I will never again go to a salon like Rachel W. stated, as $ 50 for a pedi alone is quite ridiculous. Twenty dollars less, for a quality manicure added in the equation? Now that sounds like the perfect beauty bargain in my books. Also, can we talk out the name of the place? Happy Nails makes me a happy gal.

I have been going to Happy Nails for years and have never been disappointed. A lot of nail places come and go but this place has been successful. It’s nothing special inside and tends to feel a little crowned when it gets real busy. You might even question yourself when you first walk in the door but be assured you’ll have a good experience. With some recent updates and addition of chairs it’s taken on a nice «new look». It’s a «family» operation and Holly is the owner. All the staff are very friendly and aiming to please. They offer coupons in local advertisements but usually those prices are not any different than what’s offered in the salon. Mani-​pedi combined is $ 30 to $ 35 depending upon if you go the «deluxe» route. It’s a great deal and don’t see why someone would want to pay $ 50 plus in the higher end salons when you can get the same end result.

I honestly can’t believe there isn’t a review for this place yet. Shame on my fellow Eden Prairiens!
Happy Nails is a hole in the wall, not gonna lie. It’s a relatively small space and you are up against your neighbors while getting pampered, but I think it’s worth it.
The staff is great, they are extremely friendly and never forget a face. My mother, sister and I have been coming here for years and it’s only getting better.
A few months ago Happy Nails started undergoing renovations — while it is slightly frustrating that everything isn’t perfect yet, you can tell there is a big difference about the place. Pretty much overnight they went from having about six pedicure chairs to having more like twenty, including two small pink-​butterfly chairs that will make any little girl feel like a little princess getting the royal treatment.
I have specific people who I go to for specific treatments. To be honest, my manicurist, pedicurist and eyebrow shaper are three different people. It’s a lot of trial and error figuring out who is best at what, but it seems that all of the locals have figured it out as well. If you want perfectly shaped eyebrows request for Locke to do them. She may be petite, but that girl has skills when it comes to the perfect eyebrows. (She also does the best nail designs)
A perfect little hole in the wall, Happy Nails promises a relaxing experience and beautiful nails. unless a soccer game is on the flat-​screen because all of the employees tend to yell at the television.
