Happy Choice Nails & Spa

Usually go to another nail salon but decided to give this one a try. The place is very clean and the staff is very accommodating. They have many spa pedicure choices and don’t rush. Gel manicure seemed to hold up well. I’m on week two and it’s still ok. Massage woman is wonderful! Would definitely recommend this place, but it can be a little pricey so I would recommend keeping tabs on the prices if you are low on money because it can add up quickly !

Once you walk in you’re a bit skeptical of the place because it could use a bit of an update. But I must say they are amazing! Very clean, they wear gloves when sterilizing their instruments. Linda is the best! They all are always very attentive and friendly. I absolutely love that they speak English and can hold some sort of a conversation with you. I highly recommend them!

I moved to Norwalk a year and a half ago — when looking for a nail salon I looked on Unilocal for the best rated salon and I am so glad Happy Choice was listed! The owners May and Jackie are wonderful — always so welcoming, make you feel like you are there only client. The pedicures are right on point with a 10 minute massage offered or included in all spa pedicures. Manicures are wonderful, the staff takes their time to make sure you are satisfied throughout the whole process. Prices are lower than most places in the area! I would 100% recommend Happy Choice for your next mani/​pedi. Oh-don’t forget a chair massage — free with the offer to add more time :)

First time I came to this salon and got my first gel manicure. The price is $ 25 for a gel which is a steal around here. The salon is very clean and the staff were welcoming. I had Phoebe, she did a great job and was very attentive. She had asked me if the shape was okay after each hand she filed. I asked for a design (chevron stripes) and asked me if I liked it and sadly I did not, she tried a second time and I was still unhappy w/​the design. She was very understanding and patient w/​me. So, I settled for simple stripes and afterwards my nails look beautiful! I do wish they get more of a gel color selection… And my only gripe is I didn’t get a lil shoulder massage. I was looking fwd to that after the reviews I’ve read :/​
Update: Gel mani didn’t hold up well after a week. The polish started to crack on some nails yet, the paint still adhered. But, since I have OCD it bothered me and I removed most of it. Went back here to try their mani & pedi special for $ 25. I also told the owner about my disappointing gel mani, he didn’t charge me for the rest of the removal of the leftover gel mani. The pedi was very nice and relaxing. Pedi was great she used a scrub on my feet and legs as well as a hot stone to massage them as well. I like that they also put in a plastic bag in the tub so you don’t have anyone else’s feet germs. The mani, they offered me a free paraffin treatment (dk if they do this regularly or were making up for the gel mani) and I got a great free 10min massage during my mani. That was to die for!!! I’m still going to come back here for this special :)

I moved to Connecticut in September and love this nail salon! Yuki is awesome… They are professional and exceptionally clean/​sterile. Love the paraffin treatment on my hands — so soft afterwards. There are many nail salons to choose from but this by far is the best!

I enjoyed coming here. They were very welcoming and did a good job. The rushed a bit because the place was packed and my nails chipped shortly after but over all I’d recommend this place to anyone. Reasonable prices too.

Happy Choice is great! The manicurists there are so nice and friendly. The prices are on point as well. It’s always a fun treat to get a free 5 – 10 minute massage while you get your nails done. I’d definitely recommend this spot over the others I’ve been to in Norwalk.

I recently moved from Texas to Connecticut. I tried nail salons in Westport and in Norwalk, and this was by far the best. Happy Choice Nails was clean, the people were genuinely kind, and the mani and pedi was well done for a great price. Again, I tried the salon by Whole Foods several times… IT WAS HORRIBLE AND EXPENSIVE. THEY CUT MY CUTICLES SO MUCH THAT THEY CREATED HANG NAILS. If you want a great job for a great price, come to this nail salon.

One of the best nail salons, especially for their mani & pedi combo. Definitely worth it!

WORST nail shaping ive ever had. IN MY LIFE. I got a regular manicure and had to file my own nails! I do not recommend if you are specific about the shape of your nails. Horrible

This place is great. The prices, customer service, and skill levels are all on point.

I’ve been here about 3x and each time they do such a great job! I get gel pedicures and they last forever. The staff is very friendly and I really feel like the place is clean. They’re not very busy on weekdays so I always get to walk right in. Lots of color choices and the I think the prices are unbeatable! Love this place!

Everyone at this salon has been very helpful and meticulous! Today I went in for a pedicure and eyebrow wax, and the manicurist graciously offered to fix the chips on my gel manicure free of charge. This is by far my favorite salon in the Norwalk/​Stamford area! For $ 25, their gel manicure is outstanding!

I’ve come here 3 times, and really only for their FREE mani w/​a SPA PEDI deal. The service is excellent, and the finished work is ‘acceptable’. The spa pedicures are the usual at any other local nail salon, the massage is alright (I prefer a stronger shiatsu type of foot massage) and for a free mani, it’s a very quick and basic mani.
I gave less one star because I leave there not feeling thrilled, and not completely satisfied that this is their best work. So I am still on the hunt for a local nail salon… to be continued…

Theyre so thorough but get everything done in a reasonable amount of time which is fantastic. Great prices, excellent service and the free massage when getting a manicure is perfect. I have been coming here for almost a year and refuse to go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

I was in a time jam and wanted to have my nails done. When I walked in, the place was nearly empty and their friendly staff was so inviting, I decided to do the Lemon Spa Pedicure with a free manicure included. I could not have had better service! They knew I had limited time, and the pedicure was well done and not at all rushed. Because of the time crunch, I had two people working on me at once to get the manicure in at the same time. I would definitely go back!

Since moving to Norwalk a few months ago I have tried a few salons for gel mani/​pedi– and Happy Choice is above all the others.
The staff is very friendly and makes small talk with you. My gel manicure is always perfect and lasts on average 2.5 weeks. They are very thorough but efficient so I’m not stuck there for hours.
I’ve had a regular and a lemon spa pedicure– both were amazing. Again, thorough and so relaxing! I believe they run a combo deal of free mani with a pedicure.
After paying $ 40 for gel manis for years their price of $ 25 is fantastic!
They also give you a massage with your service and that’s the the cherry on top.
The gentleman who does them spends time on your neck, shoulders and back and it’s so relaxing.
I love this place (obviously) and totally recommend it! Great find!

I’ve been coming for over a year now and still think this is one of the best nail salons in the area.
The prices are reasonable and the service is fantastic (post manicure shoulder massage???)
I’ll keep coming back! Hopefully for years!

Update– I actually went back to give this place another chance. The price is just to right– $ 25 for a mani and pedi. They actually did an excellent job, and took their time. Possibly I just caught them on a bad day last time.
Another nail painting factory. After several months of enjoying this place, it has now gone to the dark side. Went it for a gel mani yesterday and it looks like crap. The women doing them didn’t even rinse my hands after filing and the nail dust is now trapped in the gel. On to the next one ladies and gents…

Excellent mani pedi. I highly reccomend the lemon spa pedicure. Any spa pedicure includes callus removal and manicure only $ 50. They really took their time, did a fabulous job, and friendly staff. I will definitely be back! :)
