Charged me $200 for a nochip mani pedi! For my daughter and I. The biggest waste of money. This place isn't even luxurious so I didn't expect to pay much. The girl who did my pedicure kept pulling on my toes and ended up cutting the bottom of my pinky toe. When I tell you it's a basic mani/pedicure. No designs no nothing. A solid color. I would NOT recommend this place. There was no effort to get my feet soft. She literally scrub all areas once and was done. Smh. read more

I've been going here since they opened (7-8 years now). No Chips are always on point and last! Pedis are super relaxing and my feet always look great afterwards (pay for the extra massage time, so worth it)! All the ladies (and Bob) are so friendly and wonderful!! Won't go anywhere else! read more

This place does a good job, but they are ALWAYS running behind. Be sure to have an extra 30 minutes to wait for your appointment. They don't seem to care that they've wasted your time either. read more

Very pretty place, bright clean modern. I got a pedicure. It was the quickest pedi I've ever had. Took 20 mins. I looked over and the lady next to me had a quick one too, so my person wasn't faster or anything. There was no massage included. I told her I like my nails short (ie not long). she cut them way too short they were sore for 2 days. There was not much rubbing of dead skin either (i would say 60% but again not amazing). All in all, not the best pedi I've had but pretty darn good if you'd like something quick and pretty. My feet looked amazing after. Their prices are pretty standard, $35 for pedi read more

Very nice pedicure. The place was busy but they got me in and took their time - didn't rush!

Came in for a gel mani today, and they were clearly overbooked and rushing. Nail technician cut my fingers in 4 spots from filing my skin roughly with a nail file while attempting to remove old gel polish, nails were cut short and extremely asymmetrically after asking for them to be kept long. Had to try a few times to get them even but eventually gave up asking for further corrections. When nails were done, technician ran over to a new customer before I could even look at my nails. She had missed parts of my nails that had no polish on them so I had to ask another technician to fix them. Will not be returning - nails turned out okay but I am in pain and nails are still uneven and different lengths! Have had better experiences in the past, but this was enough to turn me off for good. Everyone had masks on but there was zero social distancing and it was packed full of people. read more

Smiley Nails II - Love Smiley nails. So clean and never disappointed... stays over 3 week without chipping. :) - A hand with dark red, glossy nail polish is displayed in a nail salon setting, with the salon's name 'Smiley' visible in the background. - Nail Salons Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

When you think of nails spa/salon, you think of a relaxing, good vibes, de-stressing environment. Well, I didnt get it here at Smiley Nails II. They should also change their name to "Grumpy Nails" than Smiley because Ive never seen anyone that works here smile aside from Julie! We came here (we are 2 adults, 2 kids) on Sunday (yesterday) not busy we also had an appointment. The vibes here was grumpy, tired vibes! The service I've got here from Ana (the one in the dark red shirt) was terrible!! She gave me this attitude that she was irritated Not Pleased that she was giving me the service! She was also wearing a headset the whole time she was giving me the foot spa pedicure and manicure. So her attention was not 100% and was distracted. During the foot spa pedicure Ana kept telling me in her annoyed tone to "Pull my Foot Up" so that's what I did but then she put my foot harshly pinned down! That confusion happened many times so I ended up asking her "okay..., what do you want me to do"? She didn't answer. However, she continued with her struggles with my feet in where to put that freaking UV Light and how to put my foot under it! Smh! Ana for the Foot Spa just washed my feet quickly, scrubbed in (literally) 2 strokes, dried and done. Cut nails, buffed and pretended that she was getting some cuticles and done. I was surprised my Feet Spa and the Gel pedicure was done in 7 mins! During my manicure session with her, she was talking to one of her colleague ( in their native language) with their annoyed, grumpy facial expressions then all of a sudden Ana asked me what is my name? So with a smile I told her my name because at that time it hasn't sink on me yet that they are being mean to me and they were talking about me. She was also pressing my fingers hard that it hurts and I noticed. I was about to say that it hurt but she went to another finger. After she buffed my finger nails, Ana in her annoyed tone and facial expressions asked me to wash my hands in the sink. "Go, wash your hands in that sink!" While she Pointed at the sink in the curve. Then while washing my hands, I saw all these clear square bowls with pebbles on the side. Julie was getting this square bowl with pebbles to bring to my sis in law so she could comfortably wash her fingers on that bowl while sitting comfortably there and doesn't have to stand up. Julie was nice and treated her well. That's when I realized I've had a mean lazy sneaky b!#@h nail attendant in this salon. I paid and gave them 20% tip because I am being considerate of the people and always gives them benefit of the doubt. In this less than an hour stressful time I've spent here for my Mani and Pedi I felt unwanted, uncomfortable, and attacked. So I couldn't recommend this salon because Spa/Salon any services shouldn't be this way! Ive had way better experience and treatment from other salon than here. read more

Let me start out by saying this is beautiful salon and the owner is so nice, sadly the workers are the one who earn bad reviews. This is my second time in this location and the last time! I came here twice to get no chip pedicure, the first time I ask to make sure they clean all the dead skin around my toe nails. I have grown in nails so I need someone to do good job. I heard so much negative comments about my grown in nails. It was so uncomfortable to sit and listen to it. My second visit was worse, so I tried prep my feel at home however I need it good job scrubbing and cutting the dead skin as they were hurting. The lady just scrub little bit and that was it, I ask her again- she inform me she will do it at the end. So let me get this straight you will color, put location and once they are done you will try to cut/scrub underneath my feet again! Once my feet were done, she started scrubbing but since my feet were too dry it was so hard to do it, after a while there was no progress. Next, she put lotion and oil to softener and started scrubbing again but now it was too soft to get anything done. I ask her about it- with an attitude and rolling her eye stated her opinion. She was so rude about it, at some point she even push my feet backwards. I do not recommend this place. read more

Smiley Nails II - A person is getting a manicure at a nail salon, with a technician wearing gloves working on their hand. The salon has a wooden floor and various nail products visible. - Nail Salons Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

Nail tech did a thorough job and was nice and professional. She took her time cleaning my nails and when the no chip color I picked was too see-through she called it out and went in for a third coat then double checked her work when she was done to make sure they looked good. I appreciated that. She did accidentally cut my pinky and was apologetic so no big deal, to be honest I've never gotten my nails done where one finger hasn't accidentally been cut. I walked in on a Sunday afternoon and did not feel rushed at all which was nice. The space is very cute they have good music, offer water, and play tv shows like Friends for viewing. Overall happy with my experience and with how my nails came out. A bit pricy at $70 for a no chip mani & regular pedi but it is close to home and they do a good job so I will be back! read more

Update- Two weeks later, my no chip still looks flawless! Original review- Recently moved to town and it's right down my street; what a nice surprise! Adorable place, I found it kind of charming all the technicians wear the same colored shirt and matching dress-style aprons. Wonderful service!! My hands and feet were beat from the move, so the pedicure and no chip were long overdue. Left looking like a new woman and will certainly visit again. read more

I have gone here many times to get pedicures and they never disappoint. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. My nails always look great and last very long. read more

This place is so unpredictable. I've had nice techs and ones that didn't even acknowledge my presence sitting and talking to each other in another language. I liked the fact that their awards program was based on the amount of money you spent but when they supposedly pulled me up, it was a totally different person. Took 3 times to find me. My 2nd no-chip mani-pedi was good but I accidentally touched my toe and messed up my regular pedi the first time and they were not nice about fixing and did a lousy job. They are also more expensive than Uptown. I will try one more time cause parking is easy. read more

First time trying this salon and I won't be returning. As soon as I walked in, whoever was in charge looked me up and down, walked away, and said nothing. Not even a hello. It was like they gave off the impression that they were upset you were patronizing their business. When she finally turned around and acknowledged me and I told her I was there for a pedicure all she said to me was "wash your hands and pick a color." The tech wasn't very pleasant either but she did do a good job. They also asked me 3 times what my name was and kept checking their schedule despite me informing them (3 times) that I would not be on their schedule because I was a walk in and did not have an appointment. So many other salons in the area, go to one that doesn't seem angry that you're trying to give them your money. read more

So rude. I walked in and stood at the counter while they finished their conversation before they even acknowledged me! The girl who did my pedI cure was like a limp fish. She was so interested in talking to her coworker, she could barely do my nails. She barely buffed my feet and she massaged both legs/ feet at the same time. She walked me over to the drying station, plopped my shoes down and walked away. So sorry I bothered her today When I went to the register to pay, again, stood there for a minute or so before I was acknowledge. I kind of felt like just walking out if I was so invisible to them! read more

They were very quick, but my gel nail polish peeled off within 24 hours. I got my nails done for my sister's wedding and they were ruined before her wedding the next day. It was a huge waste of money and they didn't even look good for the event I got them done for. read more

Smiley Nails II - No chip peeling off within 24 hours... - Nail Salons Near Me - Elmhurst, Illinois

I went in for a no-chip manicure. The website listed $35 as the price. I was charged $40 and when questioned was told it was $40. If that is the price they should change the website. In addition to incorrect pricing, the girl I had talked and laughed with her co-workers the entire time and was not paying attention to working on my nails. I felt it was very rude on her part. She was distracted and my nails show it. They are uneven and have many rough spots with the polish. Very disappointing particularly because I paid more than expected. read more

I goto smileys regularly after trying all the salons in Elmhurst and they're by far my favorite! Always clean, technicians very nice and great work. Happy customer :) read more

Low quality and unprofessional. the paint on my big toe is all smushed and globbey. She would not redo it. Even said the store was closed at 5:30 when their closure time is 6. absolute disappointment. read more

I thought it was a really nice place to go when you just want 1 basic color! I don't think that is a good place if u want a hard detailed nail design! read more

I have been coming here since they opened. The service is not the same since the owner had a baby and she is rarely there anymore. Pedicures are so rushed, cold water, no time to soak before getting cuticles pushed back (ouch), and the exfoliation (really important part for summer) is almost non existent (like 2 brushes with the scrubbing pad), and the scrubbing exfoliation gel / massage is about a minute. My technician hurt me multiple times and ripped/tore part of my toe nail off. After my speedy quick pedicure(that I made an appointment for 2 days later because no one answered the phone, they scheduled it for 30 minutes later than what I booked, but did accept me anyway) my toes where under the UV dryer for 3 minutes when the technician came to spray my nails and put my shoes on. This has not happened in many visits, so that is why I always time how long my toes are under the UV lamp. It was way too early and she messed up my polish and had to redo a few nails. Also no more massages while you are sitting at the drying station. I want my old Smiley back. read more

I have never had a bad experience here! I come religiously every 2 weeks for my no-chip mani! The service is great, and my manicure always turns out the way I like it. Every technician I've had has been good. Added bonus-they play friends on the TVs, and give you a back massage while your nails dry!! read more

I don't normally write bad reviews but my second time here was awful. The first time I was here I got a gel manicure and had no problem. I had a coupon so I came back for a second time. The pedicure was okay and clean however the manicure was not. One of the tools that they pulled out of the box had a piece of someone's skin still stuck to it. She cut my finger and used some sort of clue to close it however that brush that just touched blood was put back into the bottle which seems like a huge safety concern. I washed my hands right away and didn't have any long term issues. read more

Service was nothing shy of horrible!! I went in to get a pedicure the technician NEVER asked how I like my nails she cut them down so low that they couldn't even be filed! Then at check out they don't give you an option to tip or not I feel like I was just taken advantage of! I will NEVER patronize this establishment EVER again and I will NEVER recommend their services!!! read more

The girl who did my nails deserves 5 stars. She was excellent. However, the gentleman who was the cashier and also worked on someone's hands, was wearing his mask incorrectly the entire time I was there. I was there for one and a half hours. He wore it under his nose rather than over his nose. This is wrong in this time of COVID. I was uncomfortable whenever he was near me. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! They have outstanding service and the way they do your nails are so pretty and neat!

FINALLY a nail place is that is so great. The ladies that work here are wonderful, friendly and attentive. I love coming here.

Was able to walk right in, no problem. My gf and I both got mani/pedi's and had really great experiences. Definitely will go again!

THE CLEANEST SALON WITH REWARDS PROGRAM! I've been coming here for a couple of years now and I am impressed by their efficiency and cleanliness. My regular polish pedicures last for weeks without chipping, even in the summer! Highly recommend this nail salon! They do a great job. Only negative is they do not do dip or acrylics. read more

Love Love this place. Friendly, clean and super helpful. I used to go to a bigger nail salon but I didnt feel like they cared about doing a good job. Smiley really cares about you. They learn your name and you can tell they appreciate your business and want to do a good job. Twice my no chip chipped within 10 days of service. I went back in and they fixed it for fee. That is customer service. They have an awesome rewards program that makes worth your wile to go back. I do try to make an appointment since they are smaller and they tend to get busy. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a spot. read more

Never had a bad mani or pedi here. A little pricey but I'll pay they $5-10 extra to know I'm getting a the best quality and service. The place is clean and they have a pretty good selection of regular polish colors to choose from. Only wish they would have a few more no chip color choices.... they also have a points system, which is beneficial if you go there once in a while because you can get $ off your next service or a eventually a free mani. read more

Service was so bad. Everyone there was evidently talking about us. I needed them to take off dip and just paint nails and toes and the girl literally acted like it was impossible. I'll never go back. read more

Awesome, awesome awesome!! This place just opened and I went today for the first time. I only needed a Polish change on my fingers and toes but I wish I needed a full mani/ pedi. The place is super clean and everyone was so so nice. The polish change was a bit more than I am used to paying, 25 total, but they take such great care of you that I didn't mind. Warm towels, filing AND a shoulder massage while I was drying I can't wait to go back!! read more

Great no-chip manicures! Salon is new, clean and bright. Convenient and efficient. Highly recommend!

They are expensive but always did a good job. Made an appointment earlier in the week for Friday morning at 10 AM. When I went arrived I was informed that be a 15 minute wait every chair was taken I chose not to stay. Not sure what the point of making an appointment is if you're just going to take walkins ahead of people. There are plenty of other salons in the area I will find another read more
