Phabulux Nails Salon

They did a nice job. I felt a bit rushed but they were also super busy and we didn’t have an appointment. They were very accommodating though.

Love this place! My no chip lasts a good 3 weeks! They have a lot of colors to choose from. Everyone is very friendly, too.

What a great little place! New to Wheaton area and headed in based on Unilocal reviews. $ 34 for mani/​pedi and a very nice job. I’m very particular with places as I am fighting cancer and cannot risk being cut! I would definitely return, lots of great colors to choose from and staff was very friendly!

I’ve came here for a regular mani once and a handful of no chip manis. Every time I leave very impressed with my nails… they look great and last 2+ weeks before chipping. Generally I have to come in because they’ve grown out before they’ve chipped. Great place and can always get me in right away. Free parking in the back as well.

I was not super impressed with this nail salon. the staff wasn’t very friendly and one of the workers even snapped at me at one point. However, they did have a decent selection of colors so I chose one of the no chip gel nail polishes. however, «no
chip» is not an accurate name for this nail polish. it began chipping two days after I got them done. waste of $ 25. go someplace else if you want quality nails. will not be returning

I am in love with this salon! It’s very comfortable and cozy, the pedicure chairs are top notch. The staff is quick and efficient, with great polish skills. They have a huge assortment of no chip and regular colors. I have not found a place as great as this since working in the city. I will only come here from now on, and I love within walking distance of other nail salons!

As an earlier reviewer said, this really IS a gem of a nail salon. The staff is friendly and very professional. And the location is great: Right off Main Street in downtown Wheaton, 111 W Willow is a lovely old house which has been changed into an elegant nail salon.
My daughter and walked in without an appointment, hoping we were not too late for services. Ms. Kim and the rest of the staff welcomed us graciously and we both felt we were treated to outstanding services. And this salon is CLEAN. VERY Clean.
Making an appointment is probably a good idea, especially because the more clients this salon gains, the more crowded they will become.
Prices, by the way, are more than reasonable. Color/​polish selection is outstanding. Go for the mani/​pedi combination and select the No Chip polish.
Wheaton is one of those towns that has managed to hang onto a high quality downtown shopping area. Stores like PHABULUX NAILS add to that ambience. Thank you Ms. Kim and Phabulux!

Pretty good overall. Been here five times now, today first pedi. Nice and clean in a cute house close to home. Staff not too chatty which I actually like because I just like quiet when in any salon. I don’t care for no chip manis so I still do acrylic short and they do a nice job, prices very fair. My only disappointment is that with all the competitors nearby that give a great foot/​leg massage included for the same price they could improve this! Could be a pedi deal breaker for me, let’s face it ladies that’s an important piece! I will be back for my acrylics though.

I used to go to a nail salon where I was regular but ended up leaving due to the rudeness of the owner. I decided to try out Phabulux and have been coming here faithfully for the past year. Unfortunately, their charm is slowly decreasing. I always make appointments and for the past couple of months I’ve either had to wait or my nail tech had been overbooked causing me to wait. I’ll wait but it’s frustrating when you take the time to call for an appointment and something is always happening. I don’t know what’s happening there but I hope that they soon get it together because I would hate to have to move on from them. It used to be a nice, relaxed salon but it is turning into your typical rush rush. No care type nail salon. Becoming very disappointed!!!

I have been here for pedicures a few times and I haven’t had an issue. I was here Friday for a pedi and decided to add a mani to my visit. I had no appointment so I waited about 10 minutes. I saw the owner I think, she answered the phone and the payment receipts were left at her station.
I had an old no chip on my hands so she wrapped my nails and took me to the pedi area.
My pedicure was rushed, she stepped away from me many times and left nail polish on my skin around my big toes, since she was rushing she never went back to clean it up. After my very mediocre pedicure I was walked back to her mani station. She removed my polish and began my mani. Again she walked away from me and stopped my service many times. I walked out with the worst manicure ever. The polish is all bubbled and not even. I was planning on going in on Monday to ask for a redo polish but I’m not going to bother. This is what I get for going to a shop like this. My manicure was 20.00 for 6 more I could have gone to my usual place and gotten an excellent manicure.
I did like my previous pedicures, the salon is clean and the price for the regular pedi is good. I recommend pedicures but my manicure was awful.

Great work by the stylists. Lots of color choices and, best of all, when you walk out, your nails are completely dry!

Great place! No chip manicure and pedicures are wonderful and very reasonable. The basic pedicure has hot stones and warm towels and is only $ 22. The deluxe adds scrubs also fantastic.

If you are looking for a cheap and fast pedicure, this is the place. The price is right – $ 22 for a basic pedicure, but be prepared to be rushed through. I could barely get out of the chair after the pedicure before the nail tech picked up my purse and book (without asking me) to take me to the ‘drying station’.
What really bothered me was that I made an appointment with the owner and was then told I would have another young woman as the tech. She was ok, but she trimmed one of my nails in a way that caused pain throughout the next month, something I had never had.
The last appointment with the owner was disappointing. She was very rough – where I yelled out in pain. This shouldn’t happen.
I thought I’d give her another chance and made an appointment for today. When I came in, I was told I would not see her, but the other young woman. I put down the nail polish and left. I will never return to Phabulux and would not recommend it.

Most inexpensive no chip I’ve had and the quality is better than any other nail salon I’ve been to. The pedicure is absolutely outstanding! You can pick from 4 types of pedicures and so far I’ve had 2. I can’t wait to come back. Literally in the chair as I type because I didn’t want to forget! This is by far my go to nail salon!

I think I’m one of the most particular individuals when it comes to getting my nails done. I would get them done every other week as a «work perk» at my previous job, and I went to salons all over downtown Chicago. But in between jobs, I would do them myself because my own jobs looked so much better! ;(I decided to get a no-​chip one day because one of my girlfriends swore on this place. PHABULUX is the PLACE, y’all. I’ve brought several of my friends here, and they all agree that their technicians do a great job. I highly recommend Pham. He’s incredibly thorough, clean, and is super friendly. I’m really sensitive and the thought of getting cut freaks me out (I’ve had traumatic experiences elsewhere), and I’ve told him just that, and he’s been really careful. (Thanks, Pham!) They’re super cost-​friendly ($ 25 no-​chip, $ 22 pedicure – like, so inexpensive), and they always, always do an awesome job. I’m surprised they don’t have more reviews because they’re seriously legitimate.

I stumbled upon this gem of a nail salon via the internet sometime last year (2013).
Although there are a lot of nail salons literally 2 minutes away from me (both home and work), I make it a point to drive to Wheaton just to get my nails done once a month-​ish.
First thing’s first — their prices are affordable, but their service/​work they do is 99.9% of the time impeccable.
My go-​to person is the owner of the salon, Kim. She is one heck of a power woman! Not only does she take calls while she is with a client without skipping a beat; she is always open to my nail design requests!
At times they get so busy to the point where I feel bad for their nonstop workload. I would highly recommend making an appointment ahead of time especially Fridays and Saturdays. Talk about walk-​ins nonstop!
Bottom line — I am a huge fan of Phabulux Nails and all their employees! I’ve had my nails done by most of their employees, and they all do a good job. I am an über satisfied returning customer!

I have walked by this place for years, finally decided to give it a try. It was very spacious, clean and organized. Kim (the owner) was very sweet, and she did my pedicure and eyebrow wax. Very thorough pedicure (I did upgrade to the $ 35 «deleuxe 1) and she gave me some recommendations on color, as I was undecided. I love the color she recommended. I will definitely be back.

Very good, friendly service and quiet, peaceful atmosphere. I got the Deluxe 1 pedicure for $ 35, a good value.

A gift card for a mani and a pedi was what drove me here. I really don’t have a favorite nail place, to me they are all the same, so I’m big on convenience.
This is located in an older house and it’s really pretty on the inside. There are hardwood floors and lots of natural light. It has a very relaxing experience.
I walked in around noon and there were plenty of people to help me. One thing I didn’t like was the «upgrades» to the pedis. I just wanted polish on the nails, but I was handed this elaborate menu for upgrades. You know the feeling you get when you go to a restaurant and there are too many items on the menu? Yeah, that’s what I felt.
I guess my lack of upgrade led to a quick job because I was out of there in less than an hour. I don’t have long fingernails, but I’m used to the pedi taking almost an hour. There was no friendliess or forced conversation, it was eerily quiet.
They did the job they were supposed to do, but there was nothing specatular there to make me want to return.
This is located near downtown Wheaton and while there is a little parking in back, you are probably going to have to park on the street. There is a nearby Catholic grade school that has dismissal around 2:15, so if you go then there won’t be any parking spots.

Got the deluxe #4 pedicure. Very happy and worth the money. Perfect way to pamper yourself
