Happy Spa Nails in Angels Camp, CA

Needed to have my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. Called to get a quick appointment and she told me to come now. Got there in 15 minutes and was done in and out in no time. The place was busy, but wasn't rushed. Very reasonably priced too!

I have tried over and over to give this salon a chance but once again I am disappointed. Went in Sunday and received a horrible new set of acrylic French tip nails, they paint the white tip on!! Horrible shape after asking over and over for her to shape my nails thinner. Horrible service! I would give this salon a ZERO if I could

I called to get a soak off on an acrylic set and was told yes they do them for $10 and it takes 10-15 minutes. I went over there and when I sat down she immediately clipped off all the tips of my nails which was painful in itself and then started to rip them off and slide what looked like a letter opener underneath them to rip my nails off. I asked her if they do soak off because my nails were already thin and it was causing me pain and she said "you're fine" and I said again that it was painful and that was why I wanted them soaked off, and she tried very hard to talk me out of it. I had to really push to have them soaked, and when she soaked them once she used the electric file to get the acrylic a little thinner, soaked them again and proceeded to slide the letter opener under my nails again. If I wanted a painful experience and to rip them off I would've done it myself.

I am out of town from Elk Grove visiting family for Christmas, and I had a tiny window frame to get my nails filled and luckily they were open on Xmas eve. They didn't have a matching color to my base acrylic I already had on, so I requested to get a new set. The woman got frustrated that she was going to have to do a take off so she got up and walked away to the back. She was gone for well over 10 mins and the man who works there came over and told me it was going to be fine. He started scraping off my old acrylic then she comes back and took over. She was very rough making me flinch since she was grinding down so much into my nail bed. It was painful and burning. I repeated numerous times that I would love to have a short white ombré tip underneath the glitter ombré. The first nail she did was a full pink and I asked her when she was going to add the white. She told me this is what you want , this is what's in the pic. I had to pull the photo back up and show her that it says for this set you will need white tip (see in first pic). A deep sigh later, she grabs the white and started to do her thing. Ok awesome. Then she grabs this pink that is almost pastel and I said I'm sorry but that is too light for what I want. She said this is what's in the pic. OMG ma'am PLEASE listen to your customer and what she is telling you. This is a service that I am paying for you to perform. Is it too much to ask to ask for what I want, even an inspo? But this was not close to any type of inspo. This lady was older and clearly stubborn. At this point I was over arguing and I wanted out of there but I still had hope that it would turn out somewhat similar. Let her "finish" and the outcome made me want to cry. The shaping is way off, each nail is super lumpy, nails are thicker than a snicker, the glitter job alone is horrendous. I am not happy with the customer service. I ended up paying bc I was so exhausted from her lack of understanding of what I wanted and arguing with me let alone being there for over 2 1/2 hours, I wanted to be out of there. This was a subpar experience and I'll never let that lady touch my nails again.

If I could leave zero stars I would. The lady helping me left previous paint (green) on my nails. She painted over the old color. Which you could clearly see through, on multiple nails. When I mentioned it to her she did not understand what I was saying. Two other techs came over to inspect. The one which I think is the owner came over and she said "that's how your nail is". I told her "no, that is not how my nail is, she left old paint and didn't remove all before painting the new color". then said to her to put another coat over it. She did. But then didn't put another coat on the other fingers. So that nail is clearly darker and you can still see the old color.
