Happy Nails

Absolutely horrible. My first visit was okay, second visit I was livid when I left. I had the lady who sits 2 seats over from the guy in the first row. She was so disrespectful and even raised her voice. It took everything in me not to react to her ignorance. They tried to charge me $ 3 to change my polish although I was still sitting in the chair. The lady put the polish on thick and uneven. And caught an attitude when I asked her to fix it. Service is terrible, they do rush jobs and if you ask them to fix a mistake or to go over something that they missed they will start talking in Chinese amongst each other about you. DO NOT GO HERE. You will regret it sooner or later. Trust and believe all of the bad reviews that has been wrote about this place. I will NEVER RETURN.

Beware! Do not come to this place regardless of how inexpensive they are. Something is definitely wrong with the top coat they use. Nail color chips within days. Happens every time I’ve gone. Shoddy job on pedicures also. Spend a few more dollars for a Manny and a petty that will not be rushed through and will last longer than a week

I cant even give this place 1 star, but I have to or I wouldn’t be able to post this review. The facility is a definite upgrade from the previous location. Cosmetically the place looks great, but my service was in the dumps. I started off with ice cold water for a pedicure. The buffing of my nails didn’t look good at all, and did not want to polish them with a clear coat to compensate for the lack of shine on the nail. Needless to say I’ll be going back to the old shop a little bit further east on Chicago Ave until further notice. Go to the Nail Garden ask for Annie

I was driving by and decided to stop in because I saw the Grand Opening sign and figured there would be some kind of special going on. (I’m cheap.)
They were doing a mani-​pedi for only $ 30, so I was like, «Let’s DO this!!»
I got Zoe who did a very thorough pedicure — really cleaning up my ragged cuticles and addressing a rough patch on the pad of my foot without me having to ask (EVERY other salon just ignores it and I have to plead with them to do something to soften it.) The generously hot water felt great.
The manicure was standard (which is fine). Only complaint is that the cuticle soaking water was cold (not gonna soften your cuticles for better removal).
While I was sitting there thinking what a great deal this was for $ 30, I decided to splurge and get my eyebrows touched up… it WAS only $ 8(!) after all. I didn’t catch the name of the lady who did my eyebrows but got the impression she may have been an owner or mgr. She did a fantastic job! It was the same quality wax as I pay $ 20 for at the Brow Bar at Ulta. She didn’t just slap some wax on/​snatch it off and walk away (which is what usually happens when you get this service at a nail place). She also trimmed and shaped my brows. They looked great even without any brow pencil.
Overall I was quite pleased and will return regularly
UPDATE: My first experience here was great. Unfortunately, today was nothing like that. 2^nd visit today (02÷13÷16). Service was awful. I got «Lisa». She was rushing me every step of the way. They were very busy because Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. She wouldn’t let me take off my coat, rushed me to select a polish, did let me adjust the chair or turn on the massage on the chair before she was literally yanking my feet and toes around. It was a stressful, not at all relaxing pedicure. It was super-​fast not attention to detail. She didn’t massage at all, got oil on my pants and didn’t even look at the areas she was scrubbing with the pumice– scrubbed soft areas that didn’t need it and didn’t do anything to some rough areas (wtf?!). Then she gave me the worst manicure. I still have cuticle overgrowth on the surface of some of my nails and the polish looks like a 4 year old did it. She rushed the lady ahead of me out of the chair while she was trying to put her shoes on. The woman said, «Damn, can I put my shoes on?!» Just a bad experience all around. Won’t come back :(

After the rude worker I dealt with the last time I was at the Avenue Nail Spa in Oak Park, I decided to try somewhere different. I’d driven by this place the other day and since bright colors attract me like a kid, the grand opening flags caught my eye. I decided to stop on in.
Right on the corner of Chicago Ave and Ridgeland, it’s a very convenient location. Parking outside is ample, but I’m sure it can get tight during high peek hours.
The inside is very clean. Plenty of work stations! I was seated at a station immediately. Lots of nail color choices for no chip and regular manicures.
The worker who did my nails was okay. I’ve had better work done but I had no complaints besides the fact that I felt she was a little too rough on my cuticles. No chip manicure was very reasonable; pedicures are only $ 18.
I’ll definitely be going back and perhaps have found a new nail home!

I cheated on my nail salon by sliding through this place for a no chip manicure and then again for a pedicure. Not bad.
No chip manicures — $ 30 –3 stars
Pedicures — $ 18 ($ 15 on Wednesdays) — 2.5 stars but decent given its price point
There were at least 8 employees there during each visit. It’s a huge space but it seems the lighting for the nail techs and machinery is inadequate given its volume.
Expect a bit of a language barrier when communicating anything beyond an initial greeting and stating the service you want. As for color, numbers and questions, pointing is best. That said, learning a second language is hard for every human being, especially Americans … So you should pack your patience and put yourself in their shoes.

Actually gotta give LESS THAN half STAR! 1^st visit was ok worth a 2^nd chance (or so I thought) 2^nd visit went for fill in explained that 1 nail had small crack & requested that the overlay is thicker. Needless to say NOT ONLY DID THIS guy (Jupiter) not do the request it took 4days & running 3 other clients out did they fix 1 nail the worse one cracked… the co-​owner (Alex) says to come back after 3pm (its 10am during all this) he denies having any authority at all! I WITNESSED 4 OTHER CLIENTS RETURNING FOR REPAIRS FOR THE POOR QUALITY! Even messed up a young ladies eyebrows! Refused to re-​do the complete fill in! Refused to refund my $$$ so I may go elsewhere… MORAL TO TIHIS… HAPPY NAILS 88 corner of Ridgeland & Chgo Ave in Oak Park is terrible with poor quality work!!! 1 thing I do agree Jessica did a nice pedicure (the 1^st time)

First time going here. I got the regular $ 12 manicure. My nails were done by Brooke. The clean up around my nails was done very poorly and the color is lighter towards the bottom of nail…

Wow, Jessica gave me a great pedi and massage for only $ 32. Have to stick close to here now!
