Smiling Nail & Spa

I love it here. I got the 60 minute reflexology, a fill and a pedicure. I can tell you it was the most relaxed experience I have had. I will so go back again for the massage. 15 min in your back and 45 on your feet. Thank you Sarah my
Nails look great !!

This is one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. The owner is extremely friendly, and always greets customers with a smile. The salon atmosphere is very clean and inviting. They offer bottles of water to each customer and have candy around to take.
The pedicures, manicures, and eyebrow waxing come out great every time. Furthermore, the prices are competitive. I will continue to come here.

Had a mixed experience at this salon yesterday. I went with a friend to get a pedicure. The man who started my pedicure got snippy with me when I asked him to please remove his latex gloves, since I am allergic to them. He then went into a raging tantrum when I asked him to please wash his hands after removing the gloves. I’m sorry buddy, I don’t want to drop dead in this salon from an allergic reaction. I was so pissed I was ready to walk out of the salon, but the owner came over and said that the angry man and the lady doing my friends pedicure would switch.
All went well until my friend asked the angry man to file her nails down a bit more. He argued with her that they were too short already, and it started to get heated. The owner again came over, my friend explained the problem, and the owner took over from there and finished her pedicure. Angry man then disappeared. I believe, from watching him interact with myself and my friend, was that his poor understanding of English is the majority of his attitude problem. I think when I was trying to explain my latex allergy, he had zero comprehension of what I was saying.
The lady who finished my pedicure did a wonderful job. They also give lovely foot massages, and shoulder massage as well. We were also given small bottles of water, which I thought was a nice touch.
Unfortunately, my experience with the angry man there, and the fact that some of the employees wear latex gloves will probably prevent me from going back there.

Came for a gel manicure which ended up being super rushed, she never cleaned the excess polish out from under Nails after filing and painting was done and there definitely was no hand massage just slathered some lotion on and then wiped it off with a hot washcloth. I asked if there was time for a polish change on my toes I made it clear that it was OK if it didn’t happen today she insisted she could do it quickly and boy was it quick; she barely removed the original polish and when she put on the new one she left it smudged and did a horrible job. Reviews of this place were excellent I was very disappointed and will not be going back
Gel manicure was $ 26 and polish change on toes with $ 12 not terrible prices but terrible service

I enjoyed the pedicure I received. Free mini water bottle and an awesome neck/​leg massage! Bring cash so that you do not have to pay tax. :)

I have tried nearly every nail salon in the area and Smiling is definitely the best. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. On my first visit they gave me a voucher for a free eyebrow wax which I used on my next visit. They did an amazing job and from my experience it’s rare to find a nail salon that does good waxing. I now go there every other week to get a manicure and pedicure. The prices are very reasonable. I pay $ 30 for a mani and pedi. They do a great job. They are very attentive, they don’t rush, and they give a very good massage. I like to get the callus remover also which leaves my feet very soft and smooth. The polish always lasts me a while too with no chipping. They also massage you while your nails are drying. They remember me every time I go in. I have brought several friends and my mom there and they all love it! I also like that it is tucked away so it’s not ever busy, I always get right in with no wait. It’s also clean and I like that they have TV that I can watch while getting my nails done. I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Best nail salon I have visited in the Farmington Valley. Clean, friendly, welcoming, and good prices. They did a fantastic job with my pedicure and gel manicure. They took their time and the finished product came out flawlessly– no bubbles or polish around the cuticle like I’ve gotten at other places. Come on, I’m paying good money for a pedicure please don’t leave polish on my skin. I would definitely return to this place. They had 20% off when I visited, hopefully they still have the 20% off when I return, but even without it I would go back. Don’t worry if there’s a bit of a wait– just go to Fancy Bagels in the same plaza and have a bagel while you wait.

Nice people, good prices, never a super long wait.
However… I’ve never seen them throughly clean the pedicure tubs with more than just a quick antiseptic spray. Gotta get in there better!
Also, some of the employees smoke and come in after a smoke and do your nails and you can smell it so strongly. My hands actually smelled smokey after a manicure.
A pet peeve of mine is when I don’t see employees wash their hands when going from feet to hands to massaging shoulders of a completely different person.
My toes felt a little itchy after last time… And a friend told me she got a fungal infection from her pedicure there.

Very friendly, clean and comfortable salon. great reasonable prices and the neck/​shoulder rubs are so relaxing! My daughter and I go every 10 days. We’ve been very happy with the mani/​pedi and eyebrow waxwings. I would highly recommend this nail salon.

I went for the first time today and I agree with other reviews. It seems clean there because it is a new salon. But I had a gentleman doing my pedicure and he cut my toe while cleaning my cuticles and although he saw I was bleeding, he tried to hide it by quickly shoving my foot back in the tub. When I realized he cut me because I saw the blood on the paper towel, I confronted him about it but he didn’t speak English. I quickly took my foot out of the tub and I asked him to spray the antiseptic on it and he asked one of the women what I said and I told her I wanted it because he cut my toe and she ignored what I said too. I was not happy! I travel up here for work often and will be looking elsewhere to get my pedicures.

I agree with Laura… this IS a hidden gem. Funny thing, I live within walking distance and didn’t know it was here. I was going to another salon in Bristol for a few years. When a business is open at 10am .then they should OPEN at 10. Multiple times I waited well over 20 min before they would show up… done with that!
Smiling Nails has to be the best salon I heve ever been in. The cleanest ever! Jennifer who greets you, is the sweetest lady. My nails and pedicure done by Jason… fabulous job! I had a hot stone pedicure, just heaven. It’s too bad the town has such small signs… very hard to see traveling on route 6. Turn in the driveway of Tractor supply and then tun left into small plaza with the bagel shops… drive around the back… give them a try, you’ll be glad yo did!!! I’ m hooked forever!

i am really like here, i always do the manicure and pedicure with vicky she is very nice to customers and shes understand English thats great.

I stumbled upon this place about 1 – 2 months ago while searching for a new place in between my new job in Farmington and my home in Bantam. I tried googling, Unilocaling and nothing was helping me locate a salon that did Acrylics. So on my way home from work I stopped in at each salon I saw on the way. Luckily this was only the 3^rd stop. The salon was gorgeous & clean. The spa chairs were the most viasually appealing that I had ever seen. They were amazingly friendly and give you a ridiculously good neck rub while you are getting a mani or while your nails are drying. They actually make it a point to try and remember you. Aside for the visuals and the hospitality their work is excellent. I went in this past Saturday to get a new Full Set and I couldnt be happier.
FYI: They also do massages and waxing.
