I had my first visit to Smiley Nails this afternoon. I was VERY impressed and happy with their service. Lucy did my pedicure and was wonderful! She was so gentle and sweet. My nails are a little "funky" but she made them look beautiful! She massaged my feet and calves and really made me feel pampered. Amy, who did my manicure, was great and my nails look beautiful. I am thoroughly pleased with them. The sparking color she suggested is perfect! She knows her stuff! The beer for my hubby and the wine for me were wonderful surprises and very refreshing on a hot afternoon. When I go back again -- which I will! -- I will definitely request Lucy and Amy! Thank you, ladies, for a relaxing and pampered afternoon with (what I consider) VIP treatment. read more

They have been and wine. What a way to relax. My nails also look great. ;) They where so nice and I loved visiting with my sister from California. read more

If I could...I would give them 0 stars. I went to this place off and on for 3 years. I visited them right before my trip on Thursday and I had to wait 25 minutes for a guy to do my nails. He rushed and did not do a great job on my nails. The paint chipped, cracked and is very uneven. His work space was filthy and so were the floors and walls. I only came in for a manicure. I walked in and let him know I was unhappy a couple days later and all I got was attitude and him saying hr will redo and it might be free if i kept the same color. Poor customer service. Do not waste your money. This place has gone completely down hill. read more

this is the worst place for a fill Kim claimed she had 26 years experience but i dont think so for 43 dollars i paid the over all job was shitty my nails are not square they are all lumpy they are very dull no shine to them i walked out with sticky nails never again will i go there much less recommend that salon. come on ladies be truthful of your experience there they do not do a good job.There was a customer there getting her nails done she had to have the lumps in her nails drilled done and one nail was longer then the others come on if you have 20 something years experience you should be able to do nails with your eyes closed read more

Although I'm currently sitting in the pedicure chair, I have been here a grip of times and absolutely love Smiley Nails!!! Super convenient (right by Bank of America, Sakana Sushi, AND my office), reasonable prices, great service, and SUPER friendly staff!!! 8 pedicure chairs, 8 nail stations , and a waxing room. Relatively small but I have never had a wait. You can consider me a regular!!! read more

Poor service. Do not come here if you are not a regular. Just another rude nail shop. Charged an extra $5.00 to scrub Calluses on my feet. Wow! Take your money somewhere else. read more

We're going to find a different nail place in the Ahwatukee area next time we need a mani/pedi. Although the staff was very nice I was rushed through both my pedicure and manicure despite there being no wait (but it was a full house). I was done with both the pedicure and manicure by the time my mom was done with her pedicure. My feet were left rough and polish was sloppy. The polish for my manicure was bubbly and not cleaned from my cuticles. Pricing is average compared to similar nail salons. read more

Becca is the BOMB! I have been going to her for almost 10 years. She is SUPER friendly, and more importantly VERY good at what she does! Anything from Mani/Pedi to Acrylics.. or even freehand art design on your lil piggies.. Becca will make you look fabulous. I like to call ahead of time and ask if Becca is available. If I'm in a rush for a pedi and she can't fit me in (RARE OCCASION because Becca can ALWAYS squeeze you in somewhere) Go to her brother Henry! He is hilarious! And handles you with just as much care. Any time I pay extra for Becca to freehand something artsy over my nails, I tell her to do whatever she wants to do.. and Voila! It comes out GORGEOUS! I get compliments even when I'm WAY overdue. When I used to religiously get Acrylics, I had a hard time being available for fills every 2 weeks. Most nail salons will make you take them off if you've waited longer than 2-3weeks and start all over again with an expensive new set.. But not Becca. She knows her stuff, and will take care of you even when you're overdue! Tell her Brandee sent you! read more

Extremely rude staff, poor quality job. The pedicure was fine $20 plus $5 for callus removal, paint job is sloppy. Manicure was $12 and absolutely awful- the paint was bubbling and peeling while I was still there. One finger was particularly bad so I asked her to fix it, which she tried to do with nail polish removal but this finger just obviously needed to be redone. When I expressed this to her she took the end of her tool and hit it down on my finger and scrapped right through the polish- just removed it. No need for the rude attitude. She continued to slip 6 thick coats on one after another which of course didn't dry and just slid off my nail. I said okay I have to go can I just have my money back and be done with this. They refused. Flat out rude and very poor quality that they will not back up. read more

Smiley Nails - What my nails look like immediately after a manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ok, Ahwatukee...this is now my go-to nail salon every single time. I recently moved back to Ahwatukee after three years away and am very impressed with the changes at Smiley Nails now that it is under new ownership. The staff there are very good at what they do and they want their customers to be completely satisfied. I've been rough on my nails the past few months, as I have taken on some major house projects, and my nails have taken a beating. Whenever I break a nail, Kim always takes care of it for me and does not give me any hassle. Smiley Nails can do it all, including the power dip nails, which is my current preference. They can usually handle walk-ins but it is best to call ahead if you are on a tight schedule. read more

I just got my nails done by Kim. She's friendly and takes her time to give you just what you want. I got a fresh acrylic set with a hand painted French tip. $30 total before tip. This is definitely my new permanent nail place :) read more

Smiley Nails - Perf frenchies! Thanks Kim!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Worst full set of my life. Super sloppy.. had to ask her to remove excess paint from sides of my nails. My fingers are covered in thin layers of acrylic. The pedicure was equally as horrible. Don't give this place the benefit of the doubt. read more

I have come here on and off for the past five years. Becca is great, but is always booked with regulars. I have seen Cindy/Nhi and she is really good. A few weeks ago I went in for a gel manicure and got an older woman I hadn't seen before. She tried to up-sell me the polish powder for $8 more. I told her the gel polish was fine, She kept insisting (4 times!) saying that the gel would peel. I told her that I hadn't had trouble with peeling gel before. Then I noticed (too late) that before she polished my nails, she didn't spray/wipe my nails with alcohol nor did she use the gel primer. After about three days they did start to peel. Getting a manicure a few times a year is one of the only nice things I do for myself. I don't like feeling cheated or that someone did a half-assed job because I didn't opt for the more expensive service. I will probably never go back to this nail salon. read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SERVICE!!! I went in and was charged double what I was suppose to and they said they would give me a discount and I never got anything!! My nails look so bad and I told them I was unhappy and they told me oh well wait a few more weeks and come back! They cut my cuticles too short and made me bleed! So unprofessional will NEVER go back read more

Over priced!!! The women who helped me was extremely nice. The guy was arrogant. Won't be going back.

Not a bad place for a spontaneous pedicure. It was the middle of the afternoon when I dropped in and the place was devoid of customers. The place looked clean and my nail technician seemed pleasant enough. My major gripe with the staff, though, is the fact they do not speak English very well. (Nor do they contribute to an overall spa-like, calming environment with their smartphones dinging every minute. Literally.). Now, before you all get ready to jump down my throat, let me state a few things: 1) I am Asian, 2) I am an Asian who lives in a predominantly English speaking country, and 3) I speak English well (I do still get asked "where are you FROM?" after random strangers hear my impeccable English language skills). My nail tech hardly spoke any English. She tried to ask me a few things and I simply could not understand her due to her thick accent. From the context, I believed she wanted to know if I wanted a foot and leg massage for an extra $5. I got tired of asking her to repeat herself, so I just said "sure." Turned out that my context clues helped me to gauge her words correctly. My total cost was $25 before tip (basic pedicure is $20). My toes look pretty and I think the pedicure will last for a long time, given my nail tech's focused attention during the session. For my first visit, I'll award 3*. I may update on my next visit. read more

I visited with my best friend for a pedi. She had Kim and I had Cindy. Both were terrific. Two of the best pedis we've had, and we've had MANY. The sugar scrub they use is very effective and the citrus scent is a nice change from the typical cherry scented lotion used by most nail salons. I want to mention that Cindy is quite the artist. She painted our big toes for the holidays - a snowman and a snowflake. It looks great from a distance and when you look very closely, the detail she put into it is amazing. I love it when a person puts that kind of effort into their work. 5 stars for the whole experience. We will definitely be returning to this salon on our next visit to Phoenix. read more

I drive 45 minutes to go to this salon because I ALWAYS get a beautiful mani/pedi from Cindy. I have been coming here for a few years and the new management has made it even better with wonderful changes to the decor, basin liners for pedicures, new colors, etc. and they are planning even more upgrades. The salon is clean, they greet me when I enter and their prices are great. I love this place and don't go anywhere else. read more

ABSOLUTELY Terrible! Came in on a whim because my place was full. They're rude. My nails are bumpy and the Polish is sloppy. Its all over my cuticles. When I told them about it I was told that it was the polish and then I was told that if I didn't like it I could go to another person. I gave it one star because I couldn't leave it blank. read more

I used to go to Smiley Nails for years, but when my nail tech left, i didnt care for the others and went somewhere else. Well, my friend suggested Smiley Nails and I thought I would give them another chance as they are close by. BIG mistake. There were only 3 techs there, one was the owner. He did my pedicure and manicure. Both were completed in 30 minutes!! What a rush job! Barely any massage! I had forgotten my glasses and couldnt see the results until I got home. Ugh. I had paint on my cuticles and lopsided nails. My 3yo grand daughter could have done better! My cuticles were chopped at and had hanging bits of skin. It has only been 2 days and my polish is chipped and looks worn off! My polish usually lasts about 6-8 days! Save your money. read more

Moved out from Chicago a few months ago and this nail salon makes me feel at home. Everyone is so nice. They remember my name and always do a good job at my weekly regular manicure pedicure. Great customer service and really great prices. So glad I found them! read more

Not happy with this place. I live in Tucson and was in the Phoenix area visiting my parents when one of my acrylics fell off, and I was about due for a fill so went in with my Mom for a fill and gel color change. Had an appointment. There were two people waiting. The woman who did my fill rushed through the entire process. When I asked her to slow down, or take the gel off my cuticles, she acted put off. Barely touched them up and continued on. There was absolutely no attention to detail, speed was the only thing that appeared to matter to this tech as I asked her several times to slow down and apply the gel in a more uniform manner and avoid my skin. The clear coat has bubbles in it. Unfortunately I just wasted an hour of my time, and more than $40. There's no way I will allow my nails to look like this for two weeks until it's time for another fill so I am going to have to pay an additional cost at my normal salon to ensure clean and uniform application. Now I know not to change to a new salon when I'm used to the one that I love. I will not be returning here, and suggest you don't either if you want someone to take their time with you. read more

This place gone downhill, I used to have fantastic nails but my last visit 6/13/19 when it was time for my mani the lady nearly screamed 'pay now' before even getting my nails painted. My nails are smeared as soon as I got into my car and a mess by the cuticles. Will not be returning. read more

My nails are so bad that I'm going back in to make them remove all traces of product this joke of a technician put on my nails so I can get them done properly elsewhere. Simply disgusted. read more

Absolutely AMAZING. I have been coming here for 5 years and have never had a bad experience. They are extremely friendly and listen to your requests. My friends and I all got complex designs for prom and they turned out amazing. Would 100% recommend read more

If I could dive this place zero stars I would, worst service, horrible nails, double charged me and when confronted they said they carrried the price over from the polish... complete bullshit. Chunky acrylics, gel polish sucks and is so so slopPy. Never again will I spend money here read more

I have been coming here for more than 10 years! Kim is amazing and now she is making this place even better! Great prices, great massages/ pedicures and now serving beers and wine! OMG I may never leave!!! Everyone here is awesome! read more

Although friendly she did not do a good job on my nails. The shaping was mismatched with some nails and she didn't fill all the way. She is supposedly the best one there. read more

I just got back home from Smiley Nails - very satisfied with the pedicure I received from Becca! She was great. Very sweet and personable, really acted like she cared. I have nothing negative to say about my experience there this morning, would definitely go back. The prices were reasonable and they don't hand you that laminated "menu" of services like most nail salons do. Would recommend! read more

UNDER NEW MANAGMENT! New techs! New services! New products! Literally over 200 new colors to choose from. Get a brow wax while sipping some wine. And now offering lash extensions. I've been coming here 17 years and I've never been happier. read more

Wow, smiley nails more like frowny nails!! Just walked in for a manicure & the lady at the front was so rude! She told me "it will be a while so come back" and didn't take my name or anything. I will not being coming back just based off the 30 seconds I was was in there. First impressions are everything! read more

Smiley nails is under new management and so clean and the staff is friendly. I love the new chairs and decorations. Lots of new nail colors to choose from read more

I have been going to Smiley Nails for over two years. Kim and Becky are great! Kim always does a great job and is always willing to fix any breaks. The owners are extremely friendly. read more

I don't get my nails done a lot. Can't remember the last time I had a manicure. I had a holiday party and realized that I really needed one. Smiley Nails was empty and able to take me right away- I was the only customer. It was the person that did the manicure that I have an issue with. I did not get her name, I don't know if she told me, and don't remember seeing any tag or sign at her station. She demonstrated the ability to speak English well enough to find out what I wanted but did not speak for the rest of the visit. I don't mind people who are quiet, but she kept making comments over her shoulder to her coworkers in their native language- that is just rude. Also, I had a nasty papercut on my thumb that had just scabbed and stopped hurting. Despite me telling her twice that it was a scab and not dirt, she scraped it off- ouch. I've seen some reviews that were positive but it looks as if it is a specific employee who is getting them. If I had known that, I would have asked for them. I will not be going back. I actually do plan on continuing to get manicures- my nails really did look better, just not there. read more

This is my regular nail place. I really like the owner and how he does my manis and pedis. But I've tried all of the technicians here and they have all done a great job. read more

Worst place I've never been to. Nails are filled horribly. I give them negative five stars.

Looking for a new nail place, this was convenient. Very average job though. Got a pedicure. People not that friendly. Place looked average clean. I decided not to get nails done there and probably will not go back. read more

Becca is awesome! A few of the folks there aren't the most outgoing and before I started going to Becca regularly I wasn't thrilled with the mani-padi, but Becca fixed all of that. I've been going there for close to 10 years. Even though I live in Mesa, Becca at Smiley Nails is my first choice for mani/pedi and waxing. read more

I love the girls there. I get my eyebrows done every two weeks and I get my nails done there as often as I can. Recently, I just did the gel nails (just the gel polish not like the fake nail stuff) and I LOVE it. I can't tell you how happy I am that I did it. I always just did my toes because I'd always manage to goof up my fingernails in the first hour after I get them done- but with gels, you can't do that because after they're put under the UV Light, they dry immediately. No goof ups! Plus, they don't chip. The lady said they'd last around two weeks. I'm so happy with them. It's been a week and they still look pretty good. :) read more

My nail tech was nice and did ok, but careless after I paid and tipped (25%) before finishing my nails. Also they do not use any bowl liners for pedicures. read more
