First time here as I live in the city but was in the area for the day. Great job taking off my no chip manicure. I was worried about how some salons are more damaging to the nail during removal. Jenny was gentle and also did a great job on my regular manicure. I will be back next time I'm in the area and need a mani! Read Less

I live in town and have been going to another local place until one day I couldn't get in to the usual spot, I decided to try nail time again( I had been a few years ago) I was very pleased by the atmosphere, cleanliness and just how nice everyone was there !   It's not the most updated but it's really all about the manicure !  They have a huge selection of polish, 7 days mani polish etc .  I will be back there ! If you haven't been to nail time I suggest you try it !!! Read Less

Polite and fast service in a clean shop, but my no chip manicure chipped on Day 5. A no chip normally lasts me at least two weeks. There are too many other, better nail options in Hinsdale to bother with this one. Read Less

This is my absolute favorite place to get my nails done! I always leave the salon with the cleanest and shiniest nails! The atmosphere is very soothing, and the treatments are so relaxing. I highly recommend you try it out! People always tell me how nice my nails look and I owe it all to nail time!! Read Less

I have been here twice and the service has been great. Very attentive and accommodating staff. They never say no! I would suggest placing the hours of operation in the window or adding to Yelp profile. I'm standing outside to see if anyone comes at 10am?? Going to get a cup of tea next door first. Read Less

Absolutely reccomend this place, technicians are very friendly, they don't talk too much but they doing their job perfect. I had a pedicure, it included a lots of extras, i love the music and foot massage. Read Less

I took my Grandmother here. It was like Cloud 9 - VIP service. They took great care of her! I would highly recommend it to anyone. Exquisite shop and professional staff. High tech equipment and decor makes this a vacation spa setting.Read Less

Very very friendly, but I feel like for a 35 dollar pedicure they should atleast rub and scrub your feet more. I go to places that are 24 dollars and get better services there. The pedicure itself was wonderful but I feel like I paid more for what I got... Read Less

Since the new ownership, Nail Time is terrific.  I get my nails done all around the country but this is by far my favorite place.  They do lots of nice added extras  which have spoiled me for other places.  Their standard pedi comes with a scrub and paraffin wax on the heels.  Shellac manicures include special collagen gloves that condition the skin, and more importantly protect the skin from harmful UV.  Their prices are really reasonable, service is always friendly, everyone speaks very proficient English and the end result is truly beautiful and professional.  The salon is extremely clean and their hygiene practices are very obvious.  Absolutely recommend this place for an excellent value nail service.

This nail salon is the best!!!  I have two little girls and every time I bring them into the salon to get their nails painted, everyone is so accommodating and patient.  I can't say enough about this salon.  Super clean and super friendly! Read Less

The owners are friendly and are always there to greet you at the door. The staff take the time necessary to do the job right. My regular manicure has lasted up to two weeks on many occasions. They also add a quick shoulder massage at the end which I love and have water/ hot tea which they will happily give if asked for. I recommend no-chip and regular manicures here! Read Less

I hate giving bad reviews but I was here about 6 weeks ago, and man was the girl doing my nails angry!  Maybe she was having a bad day, but it made me super uncomfortable.  I think I asked her to file down one of my nails a little more and she actually said "oh my god."  Oh my god is right.  I didn't say anything for the rest of the appointment!  She did a good job but what an attitude!  I know this was one nail tech but I will not be returning here, sorry. Read Less

I think this nail salon has negative reviews based on the owners from several years past. The new owners are absolutely wonderful. They are a lovely kind couple, keep the salon extremely clean, and have created a very relaxing peaceful environment. It's not the most posh or trendy salon, but every mani pedi I've gotten here has been a great one. And you can't beat the convenience in the heart of downtown Hinsdale near the train station, Starbucks and all of the other shops and restaurants. Read Less

Try it once and you will not want to go anywhere else.  Nail Time is a hidden gem with quality products, genuine service and an owner who really cares about his business.  Great colors, massage and waxing too.  Hard to believe it's all so good, but it really is! Read Less

I just got a terrible manicure here yesterday evening (4:00 pm). I paid $40 for a no chip manicure. I usually go to a place in the city and have been getting no chips manicures for about a year and they usually last at least 3 weeks.  My manicure from here is already chipping!! I top coat is peeling off and the tips of my nails have chipped off. It hasn't even been 24 hours! Huge rip off! Do not go here for a no chip manicure! Read Less

This place is close to home so my daughter and I decided to give it a try.  I made appointments for us together and when we arrived only one pedicure chair was open so my daughter sat immediately.  The man who greeted us as we walked in, I assume the owner, was apologetic so after 10 minutes when a chair opened he rushed over to hastily clean it for me.  I sat down and was very surprised when he started to do my pedicure!  He didn't wear an apron like the other technicians and didn't use gloves either.  One part of the treatment he sprayed something on my legs from a clear spray bottle that had Disinfectant written on the side.  The technicians do not interact with the customers, and a Harry Potter movie played on the TV screen across from the chairs.  I watched the technicians work and clean, and was disgusted.  They rinsed the utensils in running water - no soap or cleanser and placed them, wet, in a drawer.  The woman sitting next to me had a fungal infection on many of her toes and after the technician filed her nails she put the nail file back in with the rest of the files that they reuse.I understand why this place is so inexpensive - you get what you pay for.

**New ownership** I am so impressed with this place! This was my first visit to Nail Time, so I am not sure what has changed with the new ownership. But, it is certainly great now!I did not have an appointment, but walked in at 5 pm on a Monday for a pedicure and was taken immediately. The place is sparkling clean and neat. Even the wall of nail polish colors are perfectly organized by color and shade!My technician was friendly and she did a great job. I definitely felt like she gave me plenty of attention and took care during each step of the pedicure. The service included all of the steps I expected--scrub, lotions, massage, etc.--and even some extras that I didn't expect, like paraffin wax for your heels and a back massage while your nails dry (if you want it). It felt like a luxurious service but at a very reasonable price ($30 for pedi only).It seems like the old owners had mixed reviews, but the new owners are definitely doing it right! It exceeded my expectations for a neighborhood nail salon, and I will be back for sure. Read Less

Rude, racist, and bad service.  That pretty much sums it up.  I went to Nail Time yesterday on a whim; just happened to be walking by.  My mother and I picked a color and sat down. It was 2 hours before closing time, but they seemed really intent on trying to rush us out. The manicure/pedicure was pretty terrible - fast and sloppy. Then the kicker came when my mom went to pay. The lady insisted that the tip she was leaving on her card wasn't enough, about 12%. She started shouting, "15% maximum!." My mom calmly asked if she usually discussed employees' tips so openly and that she thought she meant, "minimum." The Korean lady, who I assume is the owner, went on a tirade, shouting that, "in the 21st century, no 10%!" My mother was surprisingly collected throughout the performance and finally said, "Okay, how 'bout, let's leave 15%." Korean owner lady runs the card, and if that wasn't enough, goes up to my mother and in front of the whole shop, asks, "Where you from?" My mother says, "The United States," and the Korean lady starts laughing. She then says, unbelievingly, "Sure! Uh-huh! Where are you from?" My mother was born in Wilmington, IL, a small farming town about 2 hrs south of Chicago. So...my mother says again, "The US., You know, apple pie? America?" and then asks the Korean woman, in attempt to make light of the situation, "Where are you from?" the lady laughs at her again, and says, "Oh yea, me too! America, international country." she then shouts laughingly, to no one, "Sure, America!"  The shop was silent afterwards and my mother tried to make conversation with the tech doing her nails, asking her if she'd always worked there. After our nails were painted they let us wait for them to dry for about 5 mintues. My mother got a pedicure and was wearing close-toed heels. But they insisted that she wasn't allowed to take the foam throw-away sandals, and that she wear her heels out. By the time we got to the car, her toe nails were completely smudged and ruined, and the Korean lady had locked the door behind us. I wasn't expecting this, I'm not sure what or who the lady thought we were. We're Latino.  Maybe she's afraid of brown? But damn, she treated us rudely. I won't ever come here again, I'll do what I can to tell others to stay away, and I hope that Korean lady learns that, "in the 21st century" racism doesn't fly. Read Less

It is A-OK...Korean owned which is a change to my usual Vietnamese owned nail salons in CA. The mani pedi for females are 40 and males are 50. They did a good job but the nail polish chipped away quickly and there was no foot/hand massage. They tried but it was so soft that I hardly consider it a massage Read Less

I have followed the owner of this nail spa around a couple of times to various locations; she used to own a shop in my suburb, sold it, and now has opened up in Hinsdale.  I honestly must say that she has done the best job with my nails and pedicures, and I have been to lots of places!  She does a unique type of nail overlay called a diamond set, using this powder to sculpt a very natural looking nail; and these are the hardiest, most natural nails I have ever had.  A diamond set  requires a great deal of skill to be able to work with them successfully, and I highly recommend her skills!Now, ladies and gentlemen both, rush here to get a wonderful pedicure and a foot reflexology; your tired tootsies will thank you!  If you are a runner or just on your feet all day, there is nothing like a soothing foot massage to cure your ills, and they offer a wonderful service here.  Their pedicure chairs are of premium quality, with an intense, rolling massage on your shoulders and back as your feet are made beautiful.And Choi and her husband Steve are always nice and very customer service oriented, offering to get you a coffee from Starbucks while you are getting a beauty treatment.  You can also bring a bottle of wine in and share a glass with a friend for some fun girlfriend time!
