    Had the best no chip by Eva. Sadly she's going back to college so I don't know who to try now.

    One of the newest additions in town as far as nail salons go and Man, I am happy! I am a freak about getting my nails and toes done pretty regularly and so I have had my fair share of places I go to. It's very clean and comfortable. The massage chairs are great as I expect out of a new salon. The technicians are meticulous and my regular manicure lasts the whole two weeks as long as I reapply a top coat one time in between. The massage they give is great. The owner really cares and checks in on you. Great polish selection clean and inviting plastic liners for the pedicure bowls and they sanitize all equipment right after use quality products shoulder massage with manicure Rewards program where they keep the cards on file for you. relaxing Can't really go wrong. Check this place out!

    Do not use her ....

    Horrible experience at Smiley Nails on Saturday, January 25th at the Mt. Prospect location. I went in for a pedicure and manicure, unfortunately, it was the worst one I have ever had in my life. The lady that was assigned to me for my service was very lazy, did not act like she even wanted to be working that day. I had to ask her to add warm water as it was cold, she did not use the metal tool that gets dry skin off until I asked her to please do so as she said she was not going to do it. I had not had a pedicure in 6-months. My legs were wet from being rinsed off from the scrub, you would think she would dry them off before wanting to lotion my legs ....NOPE! To top it all off, she never even USED ANY SANITIZER!! I did address my concerns with the gentlemen in the salon! AVOID THIS PLACE!! NO MUSIC, NO WATER OFFERED, MUCH BETTER PLACES TO GO IN OUR AREA!

    The owner (tall male), I believe was very nice! The technician who did my no chip and pedicure did a good job. I was very impressed. It was also my first time and the owner gave me a discount (thank you!). I'll definitely be back :)

    I booked pedicures for 5 people and added on a manicure when I walked in. They said ok. Half of the way thru my pedicure my daughter was ready for her mani. They said, "we can't give her mani we are busy". I said, oh ok, because well, that does happen. No big deal. Then, 2 minutes later they took a walk in for a manicure. I asked them how come they had time for a walk got no answer. Not a word. So I asked again, louder. The guy doing the toes turned away and spoke to other people in his language for a few minutes then turned back and only said just "you booked 5 pedicures, no mani". No "I'm sorry, or there's been a misunderstanding". Nothing like that. Just "you booked 5 pedis, no mani." When I explained that I did mention add a mani at check in, they turned and talked to each other for 5 minutes then gave me no update. I asked again. And so it ended, with the walk in person getting her mani while my 8 year old stood there. Oh and also there was not one smile to be found at smileys. I took some pics which I'll attempt to upload. I try my best to support local businesses, but this is one I'm going to skip. We won't be back. Attached is a pic of my kid looking sadly at the walk in client who is about to get a mani and wondering why the place is "so mean" Only positive I can say is that they have a clean place.

    I was eager to try this location because I've heard about it in the Mt Prospect Facebook group and happened upon a coupon for a free manicure here when I visited Capannari's. I noticed the coupon didn't have an expiration date listed, so I wasn't hard-pressed to use it right away. I stopped by Smiley nails in the early afternoon this past week without an appointment and was able to be scheduled with someone for a no-chip manicure. I told the woman up front that I had a coupon but she told me it was expired. I told her I didn't see an expiration date, so she said she'd honor it "this one time." Ok. I picked my no-chip color and sat down with at the counter. The worker doing my nail seemed like she just really didn't want to be there. I had a no-chip on from another location, so she started the removal process and told me my nails needed to soak for ten minutes. I think that's pretty normal, so I waited there while she took her phone and headphones and disappeared into the back. Ten minutes came and went and she was still not back, so I was a little annoyed. I think the woman at the desk picked up on this and shouted to the back for my person to come out, and she eventually did. I was a little surprised that they don't have you soak your nails in water before they work on your cuticles so expect your nails to be dry. There's no lotion/oil that's applied to your hands, but they do at least have hot towels at the end. While I was sitting and getting my no-chip done, the woman at the desk told me that I actually would not qualify for a free manicure because that does not apply to the no-chip, however, the coupon would get me $15 off the regular price. I wish she would have told me that before they already started removing my previous no-chip, but whatever. I got my nails done in the end and the experience was just ok. The nice thing about them is the gentleman who works there and takes time to speak with the customers and gets to know them. If it weren't for him, I think I would have felt unwelcome. They do offer a punch-card option where you can earn your way to a free manicure or pedicure. They keep it on file at their location. You also get a free manicure on your birthday. As a heads up, for any of these perks, "manicure" refers to a standard manicure, not the no-chip. No-chips will get $15 off.

    This place is amazing! I've been to many of the nail salons around the area and have never been pampered this much! I got a no chip manicure that came with a shoulder, arms, and neck massage, which felt amazing. Plus, since it's they're grand opening, I received $15 off my manicure. Great service! My nails look awesome and I'm so relaxed. I will definitely be back in 2 weeks!

    No chip manicure :)

    They give you a quick shoulder and hand massage when you get a manicure which was a nice little treat.

    The owner is very nice and takes her time perfecting her work. Always a lovely experience!read more

    I was looking for a place in Mt. Prospect that is close to me and cheap for a mani-pedi. This was…read morethe cheapest I could find within a 10 mile radius with a mani-pedi combo for $34 instead of $36-40 elsewhere. What I liked about this place is I could make a last minute (2 hr notice) appointment and it is open late. For some reason a ton of other local places are closed Monday's. I was only in town a few hours and needed a mani-pedi treatment badly as I was trying to grow out my nails and wanted them shaped properly. The owner has a ton of patience as you pick out colors and if you change your mind (like I do) with colors as you sit and look around. They also have a great selection of nail polish colors. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. She's fast at what she does, but does it to perfection because if you're unhappy with anything, she will fix it and if you don't like a color you picked she will redo it for you if she can. She will look at your facial expressions to see if you make any gave of concern or are looking at anything. I don't think nice ever had a manicurist ask me "anything wrong? Tell me :)". So I wanted another coat on and said it and she did it right away. She also helps you with everything from taking shoes off, opening zippers on your purse, moving things over so you don't get your nails ruined. This time I came straight from the airport and has a small suitcase, which she took to the car for me! Just very nice lady, overall. For the pedi, some of the other ladies don't speak much but they take they're time and do a good job. They also give you a foot massage and then when your pedi is done, a back massage as you let your feet dry. At some more expensive places, by have you chose a massage of foot scrub and you get it all here. Overall, I'm happy with my mani-pedi and the pricing and excited to have such an accommodating place close to home.
