Cosmos Beauty Bar

First time visitor! Loved the ambiance, had a tasty mimosa while getting my pedicure, & the gals were all super friendly! I dropped my phone in the pedicure tub while getting my nails done– worst feeling ever. However, I quickly plucked it out of the tub, the gals threw it in rice, & my phone was saved! Service above & beyond! Will definitely be returning here!

Came here for part of a girls night out. I had a wonderful experience. Booking was a little hard so we were there for about 2 hours switching off mani/​pedi services. Nbd since there’s booze! Jennifer my technician was amazing. She was super helpful about picking a color. Very engaging in conversation, we had a great time story telling! I’ll make the the trek from Elmhurst again for a special occasion! Hit up A todo Madre for dinner after you won’t be disappointed.

I love this place and look forward to coming out from the city to meet my friends from the ‘burbs here. The services are top notch, the staff friendly, and the drinks are a treat!

Love going to Cosmos. I can always count on a great pedicure and delicious drinks. Everyone who works here is nice and couteous and generally pleasant to interact with.

We recently held a private event at Cosmo’s and had a very mixed experience. The «non management» technicians were terrific! They were polite, engaging, and did an excellent job. Unfortunately, we found the owner/​manager difficult to work with from the planning of the event to up to and including the night of the event. Annie prides herself on excellent customer service, however, we were not privy to this. We host several client events every year and have never experienced this problem. So, unfortunately we will not use this venue again.
–In the contract they waived the private party fee. Upon receiving the bill it was included and they we very reluctant to take off this charge.
–Even though we were guaranteed a private event there were other customers there 30 mins into our event and 30 mins prior to ending.
–When we first walked in we were asked who we were and offered no help of direction on where to set up. We waited a couple of minutes and finally took it upon ourselves– again no customer service.
–They discussed payment and pricing in front of our clients.
–Never received detailed invoice-​only received total bills for services and drinks.
–Atmosphere between us and management seemed very tense. We felt there was no respect or appreciation.
–Lastly, we were never thanked for the business.
**Our party consisted of 13 people and the bill was approximately $ 600

Was here last weekend for a bachelorette party. If I lived closer I would get my nails done here regularly. The place was very clean and hip. And the staff was professional but also laid back. Great atmosphere. It was nice to enjoy a beverage while getting my nails done. They also did a nice job with my pedi and no chip. It was nice that they told me they would help me match my pedicure color to my nail color. Will be back!

I’ll keep this simple and short
1. I was a new customer when I made my appt and here are my thoughts on how the appt call was handled. Good Except the person making my reservation told me about the cancellation policy which required a credit card, but she should have told me about the cash only tipping policy. FYI, a no show or no timely cancel results in a 50% charge to your credit card.
2. Mani and Pedi were exceptional, and the Italian Wedding Cake Martini was delicious.
3. Website– please add your address to the contact page and enlarge the font and color of the address in the lower right corner of the home tab on your webpage. I could not read the address on my computer and it’s probably harder to read on a smartphone.
I’ll be back, thank you

I came here a couple of days before my wedding for a manicure and pedicure with my maid of honor and had a great experience. I didn’t want a big «to-​do» but it was kind of perfect for what I was looking for. I can see how it would be a lot of fun to have a group of girls here for a larger party as well.
When we arrived a few minutes before our appointment to pick out colors, the owner helped us with some selections and in picking out a drink. She suggested one of their flavored mojitos since they grow their own mint. She helped me pick out the perfect color combos and got me set up with a great girl who did my nails. I loved that the person who did my nails was able to carry on a great conversation with me, didn’t speak in another language to their co-​workers and bark orders at me. It was a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. It is a little pricey, yes — BUT here is the great thing. I came in for a gel manicure which I have had at other places before and it has been two weeks now and I don’t have a single chip on any of my nails. I have been other places where within a few days I was going back asking them to fix it. That alone makes it worth the money, forget the fact that I was able to have a watermelon mojito with fresh mint while I enjoyed my services.
My only negative was that I was never asked if I’d like another drink. I would have had one — I was celebrating afterall. While I was there getting everything done, a guy who my nail lady told me was a regular was there getting a pedicure and I watched as the owner brought him a drink refill 5 times while he was there. He was having what looked to be a soda, but still I felt that they would have at least offered me an additional drink. I will tell you though, that because my manicure came out so great that I am going back for another.

I came here years ago and thought it was wonderful. Best experience in a nail salon I’ve had yet. A friend of mine recently asked for nail salon recommendations and I sent her to Cosmos… I wasn’t a Unilocaler back in the day so despite this review being late, I figured I’d add my two cents.
For those complaining about the prices… you DO have the power and ability to review the pricing before you go. They show them plainly on their website, as well, if you didn’t get the chance to review it before going you are able to do so once there. If you care more about the total on the receipt more than anything then just stick to your run of the mill places.
A pedi is a pedi is a pedi (unless you’re going to a spa) $ 10 extra dollars isn’t going to give you a life altering experience. You’re paying for a clean/​cute environment and the liquor license. Yes some mani/pedi’s last longer than others… if the color doesn’t get close enough to your cuticle… SAY something. Most salons would rather take 5 minutes to correct something you don’t like to make you happy rather than say no and get surly reviews. I’ve had friends continue to go and have always had wonderful experiences.
Just say upfront what you want and expect from your polish, etc and if you don’t like something, just politely point it out… not that hard ;-) If this is too pricey for you… you have all the power and choice in the world to not go. I, on the other hand, would rather pay $ 10 more in order to have a martini in my hand and someone I can easily have conversations with in a clean environment.

Hosted an event here over the weekend for a bachelorette party. The staff was great, the room was great and they were very organized. I highly recommend hosting an event here — it’s the perfect combo of something not too rowdy, but you’re still able to kick back, have a drink while getting your nails done and have fun!

I’ve been going to Cosmo’s for my Gel Mani’s for well over a year and a half and I have almost always had great results! The women who have done my nails have all been friendly and have made my nails look great. I go there every 4 – 8 weeks and I’m always surprised at the details about me they remember and ask me about which is very nice and makes me feel valued and listened to as a customer (I’m not a chatty person, so I didn’t rattle on about these things, the staff is just a bunch of sweethearts!). I had both my bachelorette party kick off here and brought my bridal party here fore mani/pedi’s the day before my wedding, and Como’s did not disappoint (be sure to book several weeks in advance for multiple people like this though!)
The few times my polish was warped, or dinged (prior to the final top coat), or peeled off within a couple of days and they fixed it without complaint and free of charge as a no-​chip mani shouldn’t do that. .
The prices: the gel mani prices are less than other salons in the area for the most part (or at least exactly the same), I’ve seen them easily be 40, 50, or even 60! The pedi prices also seemed about the standard for this type of salon, which IS higher than the speedy in-​and-​out strip mall places, but the experience is much better in my view.
Drinks are very yummy and I don’t think they are over priced, but maybe I’m just used to Chicago where everything is 10 – 20 bucks easy unless it’s a PBR.
Overall the price is fun, friendly, and unique. The quality of service is top notch and the girls are super fun. If you want «walk-​in» and get quick, cheap, strip mall service from a tech who cannot or will not speak to you, this is NOT your place. But if you want to take the time to make an appointment (I’ve gotten in same or next day), have quality service, and want girls who will take time to help you choose a color, make recomendations for you, remember you, talk to you, gossip with you, AND make you a drink, then this is your place.

Prior to leaving for a get away, I stopped by Cosmos Beauty Bar for a badly needed pedicure.
As noted, their basic pedicure cost $ 35, plus any tip you wish to give, which is more expensive than other places in the area; however, I left feeling they did a better job than cheaper places I’ve been to. Also, I appreciate that the person giving the pedicure took into account the fact that I’m a runner when taking care of my calluses without me telling them to do so.
At the end of the day, I got more for my money by going to Cosmos than I have in the past with other places. Also, there are places that charge $ 50+ for basic pedicures, so if you look at it from that perspective, a basic pedicure here isn’t so bad.
The only thing I would do different is that I didn’t indulge in one of their beverage choices… Guess that means I’ll have to go back!

I love Cosmos Beauty Bar and it is the only place I trust to do my nails. I love coming here for a martini and pedicure and they have a wide selection of no chip colors. I have brought several friends here over the years and to this day they say they wish they lived closer because there is no other nail salon that compares to Cosmos. Highly recommended
