Phouvone purchased Emily Nails several years ago.  She really cleaned the place up, which made a huge difference for me.  Phouvone does meticulous work.  If you get a pedicure, she provides an incredible foot and leg massage.  She will always find a way to fit you into her busy schedule.  Additionally, she is one of the kindest people I have ever met.  I will be a lifelong customer.

Emily's Nails is the best!!! I went here exactly 4 weeks ago for a gel mani and pedi before a trip. My friend comes here regularly and recommended that I come here, and it was the right choice! Emily owns and runs this shop, mostly by herself (sometimes on weekends she will have a second staff person helping her). She is really, really sweet, and the entire time I was there we chatted and talked about life. Because I had called her at the last minute for an appointment she came in early to meet me (which was so nice of her!). I highly recommend that you do not show up at her salon without an appointment, because since she works alone, she usually books up pretty fast.She did a GREAT job on both my gel mani and pedi, to the point where only a month out are my nails now are starting to have problems (and this is after a week long trip and moving to a new house)! Def a great salon and good way to support local small business in Normal Heights! Read Less

All ladies must go to Emily! She helped me late last night. She stayed a little extra but oh my gpsh i love the job she did. I had a broken nail and some other place made them all square and she look my nails from "hell girl, you get what you pay for."  To no joke, SEXY. Sleek sexy shiny and nail polish on point! Call her ahead of time tho! Read Less

Awesome Pedicure! Just under an hour to get it. I upgraded to the sea salt scrub and callous removal. At $25, it's a no-brainer. The space is small, just two pedicure stations and one nail station, which is great because it's quiet and relaxing. Dark Horse Coffee is right next door, so I grabbed a cuppa before my pedicure.

Im as picky as it gets when it comes to nails services. I found this place after walking by in my neighborhood and thought it was cute. After reading reviews, I decided to give it a try. I called to make an appt today and got in at 2pm. Emily runs her own cute shop solo, so this works best to call ahead. Not only was Emily accommodating to me being 9mths expecting, but also to my dog who I randomly brought in. I would say to ask first since I may have just been lucky due to being the only one in there, but Emily made us feel like family. The service was efficient, chair was comfy, massage very good, and I opted to try gel on my toes for the first time and they look fantastic. I will definitely be back, i found Emily to be easy to talk to like a friend :)Highly Recommend!Tiffany Read Less

It's a  convenient nail salon in my neighborhood.Great price.Service is good. The owner is nice and very friendly. $20  for a gel which last you 3weeks or more than that. I recommended my friend here and Emily found out something suspicious in her nails instead of putting acrylic nails which is more she recommended her a regular polish and told her to take care of her nails first,  put some vinegar before she can put acrylic again.My friend listens to her and her nails is back to normal. I will definitely recommend this place. Owner is not too pushy like other salon which wants you to keep upgrading so you will pay more. Whatever you like she do it for you to the best of her skills.

Terrible job, these women do not know what they are doing. My mother in law and I went in for a manicure and pedicure. I got gel and she got her acrylic filled. They nipped both of us during the pedicure and left our feet looking like a 9 year old painted them. My gels were just ok, but the paint is uneven and globed towards the ends. My mother in laws nails were atrocious! Smudged and lined and dented, soooo bad! I could hardly believe it. I went to this place because of the great reviews, but I also saw that there was a change of ownership. It's too bad! They might as well have little kids doing nails here for the quality you get.
