I always get a great mani pedi at Phabulux Nails. The staff is very friendly and they use top notch supplies. Never disappointed

I probably go past 15 other salons to get to this place. Family run, smaller place in Wheaton. They do a consistently good job for a reasonable price. My go to salon. read more

They did a great job on my nails- I'd give it a 5 stars, however, the people doing my manicure and my mom's manicure didn't talk to us at all besides just asking what we wanted. Personally, I don't care that much, but it might be important to some people so whatever. Anyways here's my regular manicure: read more

Phabulux Nails Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

This time I was just a walked in I was so lucky the man gave me a pedicure and my no chip manicure. It was very relaxing and pain free pedicure how sweet. I took the Metra and left me right by it. I had a hard time finding this nail spa because I not a normal salon is a House turned into a nail place. When I walked in they told me to go sit in the back to get a pedicure I almost walked out because this place looked dirty and all the spa chairs were warned out. My first instinct I don't want to get an infection. I figured Google you sent me to a ghetto looking place but I figured all this trip and go empty handed no sir I stayed! The manicurist gave me the best pedicure ever. I had a good massage it included warm stones to caress my legs, a sugar rub, and also a warm towel wrapped my feet. What I loved was the fact that I was NOT hurt in anyway. My manicure was the same. No pain, no pulling, no poking. I made the right decision. I truly enjoyed my manicure and pedicure. $47 not bad since I was not hurt Nor cut. Thank you. Another thing I noticed is the machine were they keep the scissors and. Clips are being sanitized way to go read more

I had horrible experience at this place. If I could zero star. The no chip lasted 5 days, plus during my appointment Kim was pushing for me to get powder dip . I go to get my nails to relax not to walk out frustrated with experience and Kim was standing by me when I was signing the receipt to make sure I tip. I did tip but never going back to this place ever. read more

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. read more

Phabulux Nails Salon - This is how I walked out. With bubbling nails. Terrible! - Nail Salons Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

I love this salon! I would highly recommend this place for people with anxiety. There usually isn't more than three other customers in the store, and it's quiet and relaxing. Prices here are much better than other salons ($50 for a gel acrylic nail fill and replacement of two nails). They really take care of you here! I would recommend that you make an appointment to help them out because of the small size of their salon. read more

I decided to take my mom here to get our nails done, we both got full acrylic sets with plain polish over top. No designs or special requests and they charged us $45 each. The service was quick and efficient. Both of our nails look good, but considering they up charged us a total of $20 for no reason this place is definitely not worth returning to. The pricing board clearly stated acrylic full sets are $35 and up, which is already significantly pricier than most other salons. Anyone who's been to a nail salon before knows that basic polish on top of an acrylic set is included in the cost. It's pretty clear the workers just wanted to pocket some extra money. read more

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 uber satisfied returning customer! read more

My nochip looked really bad; could of used another coat of color. Mentioned in salon twice & ignored

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. read more

Not bad at all, but not awesome. Upgraded to their 3rd tier pedicure. Pretty expensive for the addition of some cheap lotions and scrubs. Massage was whisper soft and ineffective. Relaxing, nice environment read more

Horrible experience. I've been here before and they took 10 Mins to do my feet. I thought oh I'll give it another try. Nope.... you can tell she had someone waiting because the second this client walked in the girl began hurrying. If you have another person let me know or get someone else. She didn't even rub my feet or legs longer than 1 min. I started a timer because I wanted to see how long she took. She was so horrible. She did my pedicure in 14 Mins. Only because I told her that this was he quickest pedicure of my life. She said they have other ones. Hahaha bs. The bottom of my feel are the same. I came here to relax. Definitely didn't!!!! Never coming back. read more

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. read more

Cannot say enough great things about this place! It is so quick to get a response and an appointment the next day. They are conveniently located. Always clean and uses plastic covers in their bowls. I was getting no chip, but that was not lasting more than a week for my nails that grow quickly, so I went in and they offered me dipped nails, I have been so happy with them! Thank you! read more

Nice shop. Always clean. Good prices. BUT, every time I go, I make an appointment, which usually doesn't mean anything. They take walk-ins and often they trump their appointments. I waited 25 minutes for a technician on my last visit. read more

It is a cute, clean salon - BUT they are not very friendly. They took other people before my mom and I who had appointments. The price was right and they did a good job, but I don't think I'd go back - I didn't feel very welcome. read more

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!! read more

Visiting friends in the local area from Los Angeles for a bridal shower and I needed some pampering before a bridal. I hop on Yelp and found Phabulux. It's a Victorian house converted into a nail shop with a relaxing atmosphere. It's within walking distance to downtown Wheaton's cafes, shops, and boutiques. I thoroughly enjoyed my mani/ pedi with a salt scrub and hot stones. And don't get me started on my eyebrows. I'm in love with this place and if I lived here I would frequent every two weeks religiously for their services. Check it out! read more

Phabulux Nails Salon - Mani w/opi Your so vainilla - Nail Salons Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

My co-workers get their nails done here and suggested this place to me. The prices here were the most appealing. They've both been going for a while now and my co worker indicated her last appointment was on a Friday, and the staff here took walk-ins ahead of her. That concerned me just a bit because I wanted to run over there during my lunch hour for a pedicure. I made an appointment for 2:00 on a Wednesday for my pedicure figuring it's not the noon lunchtime rush hour so I'll be ok. There is parking in the back, but I suggest the street/metered parking - .25 for an hour. There was plenty of it out front. I walked in and pretty much all the manicure stations were going. I was told to pick out my color, and I did and I proceeded to sit and wait and wait ... and wait till 2:15. Another woman was also waiting for a pedicure, she walked past me twice and could have at least started the water for my feet to soak but didn't happen. Finally someone who was done with a manicure made her way over to work on my feet. She actually multi-tasked and turned on the water for the woman next to me waiting for a pedicure as well. It was a decent pedicure for $22....so I'll throw this place a few stars. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're in a hurry, as they don't seem to honor reservations well either way. I'd go back as the prices and service aren't too shabby, just not on my lunch hour. read more

Totally the cleanest salon, best stylists, best value. You must come here! Extensive selection of gel polishes, basic pedicure for 22 beats the competitors 40 plus. Their ii,iii and iv pedicures are like a day at the spa! They can accomodate girls night out which I have done many times. By far my favorite place to go for a manicure or pedicure! read more

Don't bother making an appointment here! Made an appointment for 1:45 and didn't in a chair until 2:15. My pedicure didn't start until 2:25. I used to like this place but don't have half my day to dedicate to a pedicure. The owner could care less about the wait and never apologized for the inconvenience. read more

A year ago I would haven given this place 4 stars, but this past Saturday really put me over the edge. I now live in the city and only come here when I visit my mom and we make an appointment to get our nails done. It used to be my absolute favorite, clean, cozy, and they always did a thorough job. I've noticed over time they've really become a busy, popular place. I would be happy for them, but they don't understand how to prioritize people who have made appointments prior and balancing the walk-ins with those you have planned ahead. It's unfortunate to say, but just 48 hours ago I was getting my nails done and I know have not one, but two chips in my no-chip manicure.... It's really quite unbelievable. ESPECIALLY because I did not hit my hands, or do anything rough that could cause chipping. The young girl that worked on me was rushed, and at the time I did not really mind because I know how stressful it must be for them to be jam packed right at 10 am opening on a Saturday morning. $35 dollars later for my no chip manicure plus my tip for my mother and I, it's both sad and safe to say I will not be returning. read more

What a great little place! New to Wheaton area and headed in based on Yelp 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! read more

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!! read more

Family operated, fastest no chip manicure of my life. Won't go anywhere else (though I try). No chip lasts so long for me that the only reason I get them redone is because it's so grown out! They are always available for a quick fix if I break something. Love this place! read more

Just wanted to say thank you to Kim. She has been doing my nails for over 15yrs. She always takes great care of me, (toes, nails and waxing). I use to do nails many years ago in Arizona, so I do know what to look for in a manicurist. Kim and her Husband made a beautiful and very relaxing and comfortable salon. It is very cleaned and everything is sanitized after very customer. You can't go any other place that gives you this kind of amazing treatment. Thank you always Kit read more

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 read more

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

Received poor service and was charged full price after I presented my gift certificate. I was offered to keep the gift certificate but after the service I had I wanted to be refunded but was denied. Waste of money in my opinion. read more

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. read more

I have gone to a few nail places and I never really liked how any of them did my nails, they were either too rough, the nails were too thick or they lifted off in a couple days. I told the woman there that I'm not used to long nails due to me not having acrylics and that my nails don't grow past a certain length. She was very sweet and understanding about it and made them thinner and shorter. This has been one of my best experiences at a nail salon read more

Phabulux Nails Salon - at work currently have no smudging/chipping love the color - Nail Salons Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

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

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. read more

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