Happy Nails by Thea, LLC — Local services in South Plainfield

I can’t stop telling everyone about Happy Nails. Last Saturday I had my baby shower and I normally never get my nails done because I’m an ICU nurse and I find that it gets in the way sometimes when I work. Now that I am on maternity leave, I was in dire need of getting a manicure/pedicure done before my baby shower. Since I rarely go to the nail salon, I literally thought I could just walk in and get my nails painted. Called several places and no one had availability for me. I was so down cause I wanted to at least get a pedicure since I’m more than 8 months pregnant and can no longer reach my toes. I was embarrassed to have to attend my own baby shower without getting one done. I didn’t realize my amazing husband made a call to happy nails and spoke to Thea and basically begged her to try to squeeze me in if there were any cancellations. Later on that day, my husband told me he was able to get me an appointment with Thea for a gel manicure and pedicure. I was so grateful they were able to squeeze me in. When I arrived to the salon, I was quickly greeted by Vincent and met Thea shortly after. When I tell you I felt like I made a life long friend, I instantly felt their kindness and warmness as soon as entered the salon. Thea was such a pleasure to get to know and she made me feel right at home. The part that touched my heart, was that I don’t believe there were any cancellations at all. She told me she was so touched my husband called on my behalf that she and her brother stayed after closing just so I can get a manicure and pedicure done before my baby shower. I literally wanted to cry out of such gratitude I had for them and my husband. Since I know they were only staying for me I wasn’t going to be picky with whatever services they were willing to offer me. Thea ended up still doing an amazing manicure and gifted me a design on my ring finger out of the kindness of her heart. How blessed am I to be surrounded by such sweet people. She doesn’t even know how beautiful she made me feel that day. Vincent stayed behind to do my pedicure and I can’t stop thinking about how amazing this family is. Turns out the whole nail salon is run by Thea’s family. Vincent was Thea’s brother and I could not stop thanking him for staying just to do my pedicure. I was the last person left at the nail salon and I was there with Vincent’s wife and daughter who was waiting for him to finish up my pedicure. I really was so touched, I told him to let me know when to call my husband so they don’t have to wait too long for me to get picked up since I was dropped off earlier. I was even willing to wait outside for my family to pick me up so Vincent and his family could just go home and spend time with each other. He insisted that it wasn’t a problem at all and that he told me to relax and started the massage chair for me as I waited. He then went along and did his wife’s nails cause his toddler asked him too. It might’ve been my pregnancy hormones that day, but man I teared up. As someone who is going to be a first time mom to her rainbow baby, it was exactly what I wanted to see before my baby shower. I’ve had a lot of anxiety during my pregnancy but to see Thea still working as a mother with her dad watching her son at the salon and Vincent painting his wife’s nails as his daughter sat on her lap, it gave me such great joy for the journey ahead of me. That day was more than just a mani/pedi for me, it was a day that will never be forgotten for me. A day that I will always look back at and smile. These are the days that makes life all worth it! I will forever be a customer now of Happy Nails. I will tell everyone about this amazing business and most of all I can’t wait to bring my future daughter here and get our nails done together! Thank you so much Thea and Vincent for your kindness towards me! It meant the world to me! I didn’t just leave with happy nails, but also a happy heart! May God bless you guys for all the...

WE FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE! First time here. This will be my new place. I will give up my place near home that I’ve been going to for about 20 years to drive 30 minutes to come here. I will bring friends also!!!!! Greeted by a friendly, English speaking woman. (Owners mom in law I believe). She actually SMILES!!! This place is about 4 months old. Sparkling clean. Beautiful salon. Vincent did my nails. I had a polish change. He made helpful suggestions because I was short on time. My nails 💅🏽 came out perfect. His work is perfection. They also have 6 beautiful pedi stations. Can’t wait to go back! While I was drying - I watched a Lion King on a big TV! One bonus is that there aren’t a bunch a girls sitting around talking in their language or not understanding English. It’s important to be able to communicate with and understand your customers. The owner is very friendly too! * side note - she was doing a mani in the station in front of me. Her client was coughing, and she jumped and ran to the back and got her a bottle of water! I thought that was very kind, and accommodating!! There are about 20 nail places in a 3 minute radius from my office. This place nailed it! I had so many compliments on my mani! Would give 10 stars. You will not be disappointed here. They also have a waxing room! Call for an appt!!! So happy my friend found...

I am so happy to I was referred to Happy Nails by Thea! Despite the 30-40 minute drive, each trip is more than justified by the exceptional service. Vincent, my nail technician, consistently delivers on my requests with precision and care. Along with Vincent, I go to Leon who gives the best pedicures. He listens to all my requests, takes his time and makes the entire appointment relaxing. Thea, the owner, is an absolute gem. She goes above and beyond to personally connect with every customer, greeting each by name—a small gesture that truly sets this salon apart.

The salon itself is spotlessly clean, offering a diverse selection of colors and services. What truly distinguishes Happy Nails by Thea is the welcoming salon created by the friendly staff. Every employee here is friendly. Unlike other salons where wait times can stretch to 20-30 minutes, they honor appointments promptly and prioritize client satisfaction.

I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. If you're seeking a nail salon where your time is respected, and where personalized service and cleanliness are paramount, look no further than Happy...
