Smiley Nails & Spa

Worst place to go to. They are not clean and they are rude. The girl did a half ass job on my services.

I will never go back here. They wanted to charge me $ 5.00 extra to use OPI infinite Shine nail polish for my manicure. That is ridiculous. OPI cost $ 10.00 a bottle for there regular ail polish and $ 12.99 for there infinite shine line. How can they justify charging an extra $ 5.00 to use the polish in my nails. I don’t go to places that nickel and dime you.

Great experience, lovely staff and great prices! The only downside was that we couldn’t sit together. But it was overall a great experience.

Smiley nails is very clean and gals are friendly. My manicure was perfect and the chair was relaxing. I will return.

My go to nail place! Extra clean and never disappoints. They also accommodate my little girl– with friendly and great service!

Your no chip will only last 1 week. I went back hoping it was just a fluke… Nope, no luck. Shop is clean and provides a great selection of polish however, I’d rather have my no chip last more than 7 days. Skip.

I should learn to trust my instincts. Three strikes and they are out.
~First experience, I did the no chip, lasted two days. Thought it was just me, but today when I was there a woman complained that her no chip that she’s done twice, chipped within days. The response she received, «you must have not done no chip» She was not happy, nor would I be.
~I was there this summer for my second visit, took my niece and daughter for pedicures. When I went to pay, the gentleman who walks around like he owns the place, (which he very well may own it) actually told me I did not tip enough and told me he was putting more on my card. I was flabergasted, who in the hell has the right to tell a person they don’t tip enough. I gave 20%, to each of the ladies who did our pedicures. Needless to say, I did NOT allow him to do it and tipped what I thought was necessary.
~Final visit: I went today with my daughter, after a long winter we both looked forward to a nice pedicure. Oso who did my nails was rude, she was inefficient and the most unfriendly one there. I have seen her crack her gum in people’s faces before, therefore; avoided her due to that. But today, she was who was assigned to me. I thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt. (Gum was gone, someone must have said something to her.)
Turns out the hot water was not working. While I thought we’d enjoy that nice pedicure, we received a half assed one and with cool water to top it off. The pedicure was done in 10 minutes, and the woman who books all the appointments and stands up front came around and gave everyone a $ 5 off coupon. While that is appreciated, it’s hardly a make up for a pedicure that didn’t occur and cool water. My pedicure consisted of lotion, filing and some pumice stone, all of which took a total of 10 minutes.
The woman up front, who I have been told is the owner, should have given everyone money off today and the coupon. She knew I was not pleased and asked me if the girl I had was good and I told her no. (My daughter was appalled, however, if you receive bad treatment, and no one says anything, how can it improve?)
I am done going here. They rush you, they don’t stand behind their poor work and they are quite simply put, rude.

Great service with clean relaxing environment. Staff is always friendly, and their manicures come with a light back massage. Would recommend.

So I’m a pretty regular customer here & I’ve started to try out new places in the area bc I’m getting tired of coming here & feeling super rushed by every nail tech or like they don’t want to take any time or effort on my nails & toes! On top of that– the last time I was here & got a no-​chip– it chipped on 8 out of 10 of my nails within 3 days (I came to get a few fixed & then just gave up)! Today while I’m here– I came with a friend & they started us at completely different times & we never even got to sit & chat, which was the whole point of coming together! Seriously getting disappointed about the situation bc I like to come & support local businesses– but the service & quality are not matching the prices here anymore! Guess I’ll be frequenting the newer places popping up in PR or EP!

First horrible manicure experience here ever. I’ve been coming here since they’ve opened. Walked in at 1:57. Manicure done by 2:16 not busy. Male manicurist, heavier with glasses. Seemed in a major rush. Seemed like he was pissed that I didn’t tip him $ 5 on a $ 15 manicure. Should have waited till the end to pay. Sloppy paint job, uneven filing, fuzz in my polish on my nails, no cuticle oil so it looks dry around my nails. Hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

This place has gone completely down hill. Just left and not only did they file my nails too short. They gave me the Wrong shape. I took me an entire month to get the length i wanted and with out asking they destroyed that effort. They also can not do nail art, even the simple line i wanted. I am never going back.

Clean, bright and airy atmosphere. Technicians are skilled and efficient. I like the quick service; pedicure and no chip mani are done, and I am out the door in about an hour. So I guess if you are looking for a «spa experience» maybe a different salon would be more to your liking Also love the back massage afterwards.

As far as nail salons go, Smiley is the best in the neighborhood. It’s clean, spacious and very accommodating. The staff and the owners are very friendly. They have a great selection of colors, both no-​chip and regular nail polish. How can you go wrong with a loyalty punch card and a free birthday manicure?! Did I mention to ask for Julie? She is the best!

Great place! Friendly owners and staff! They are efficent, clean, and get you out fast if you are in a hurry! Accommodate walk– ins quickly. They also give repeat customers little extras at holiday times! The massage that goes with the mani is wonderful! Also have punch cards so you can earn a free mani/​pedi after so many visits. I have recommended this salon to many people. Reasonably priced too! It’s a win win

Love this place, my go to for no chips. The staff is very nice and courteous, and it is clean! I also enjoy the shoulder massages they give you after any mani or pedi. Don’t forget to get their punch cards which gives you a free mani or pedi after so many visits!

This place offers great deals! I came in for my birthday, and got $ 15 off my bill.
Sweet! I was also given a card that was valued for a free service with any purchase. Why free manicure yes!
The salon is clean, has a great variety of colors, including a variety of no chip options, and my nails looked great.
I just may become a regular:)

I really wanted to like this place. I went about 3 times over the summer. First 2 manicures were good, see my pic of nail art. (That deserves stars.) it was done by Namuk who I saw on my first couple visits and did a great job.
However, my last visit in August was my final. My mom and I made appointments but we literally waited an hour to be seen. They did apologize and gave us a certificate for a free mani in the future, but then my nails were cut crooked, and this is when I noticed that utensils were being shared… Which is just the last straw for me. Cleanliness is my #1 priority at nail salon. I now go down the road to a place where everyone has their own instruments set side and labeled with their name.

Overall it’s a solid place to get your nails done in Park Ridge.
Most tidbits have already been shared, but I’ll run down my perspective:
–The exterior is totally unassuming and a far cry from the sleek, modern and super clean interior.
–The folks who work here are quiet and professional, so you’ll definitely have more of a chance to enjoy the massage pedicure chairs or TV on in the background rather than ladies talking amongst themselves.
–Their polish selection is about average — Essie and OPI. They did, however, have a pretty wide selection of colors for the gel/​no chip manicures.
–I saw a sign and setup for short neck/​shoulder massages.
–They accept credit cards for services AND tips.
–Free parking right in front if you can score a space. Jut be careful backing in!
–My pedicure ran me $ 30 and was pretty sweet with a scrub, lotion, hot towel and accurate paint job.
If I find myself in nail need in PR, I’ll definitely stop back in.

I wish I could a zero rating. I had originally written a review the day after my mani/​pedi, but because of what has transpired in just a couple of days I deleted it. I didn’t want to have anyone use my review as a reason why they go in there, as I paid $ 65 for what turns out as a lousy mani/​pedi.
I went in, for the very first (and last) time on a Wednesday. I needed my mani to last a full two weeks, so I was getting a no-​chip manicure. I was dissatisfied with the pedicure I received because she tried cutting my ingrown toe nail with the regular clippers instead of some smaller ones. It hurt and when I said «ow», she stopped cutting it and left it the way it was. The pedicure felt very rush. In fact, she didn’t take off all of the red polish. I decided to give her the doubt and let her do my no-​chip manicure.
She wasn’t paying that much attention to my nails, as she was busy watching the World Cup game. Keep in mind that I was getting a no-​chip gel polish manicure. Thursday night I noticed an air bubble in the polish of one of my nails and by Friday there were two air bubbles. I’ve gotten these type of manicures for years and I have never had a nail break with these. Well, on Saturday, while on vacation, my thumb nails cracks right down the middle.
So I’ve wasted $ 65 and will need to have work redone, this time by someone who cares about what they are doing!

This is my new favorite place for nails especially OPI no chip nails. There’s a great color selection, the place is clean and the staff is professional and friendly.
The girl who did my nails was very attentive. I didn’t feel rushed and she did a great paint job. I’d recommend this place to everyone!
They also give clients punch cards which gets you a free mani on your birthday and a free mani after ten punches.
