It's a really nice salon, but I didn't have the best experience unfortunately. My biggest issues: 1. They told me you can't do chrome nails over dip powder, only on gel (yes you can, I've had it done before) 2. Nail tech did not understand that I wanted all of my nails to be the same length 3. Rushed through my appointment 4. The finished dip powder top coat looked lumpy and dull - nail tech would have left it like that if I didn't point it out 5. Pretty steep pricing - $55 for a dip powder mani plus $6/each for nail extensions. I used to pay $40 at my old salon, and that price included nail extensions if any of your nails broke. 6. Overall the experience was a bit stressful since I had to keep correcting mistakes throughout my appointment I went in for a dip powder mani. Two of my nails were broken, so early on I told the nail tech we need to make those two nails longer since they are way shorter than all of the other nails. I mentioned it maybe twice. As she got further into the manicure I kept wondering when she would lengthen the short nails. She was about to start applying polish when I realized it wasn't in her plans, so I said something to remind her. She seemed surprised and confused (I think the language barrier came into play here), told me there wouldn't be time, but then someone else jumped in to help (they did a great job). They charged me $6/nail to add extensions. This added maybe 5 minutes to the length of my appointment, because the nail tech continued working on one hand while the other lady added extensions to the other hand. I'm not sure why any nail tech wouldn't think to ask about making all of the nails the same length? Those two nails were significantly shorter than the others. She was planning to leave them like that. For the rest of the mani, this poor woman was RUSHING like crazy. Like, I've never seen anyone moving so fast through a manicure. I respect that this wasn't her fault, but she was probably overbooked with not enough time in the schedule for my manicure, and the extra 5 minutes to even out my nail length apparently threw the whole schedule off course. I also respect that they were probably just squeezing me in since I called for an appointment last minute, but they really shouldn't have added me to the schedule if there wasn't enough time. So when we get to the end of the appointment, my nail tech applied a top coat to the dip powder that came out of a squeeze bottle. I've been getting dip powder for years, but I've never seen this top coat before. When it dried, it reminded me of the old "shatter" nail polish. It was dull, lumpy, and just looked totally unfinished. I felt guilty pointing it out and I tried to be very kind about it - but for $55, I felt really unsettled about having my nails look like that for the next 3 weeks. I kept checking to make sure she also noticed that the top coat looked unfinished (I usually am not one to complain, but I promise these REALLY looked bad). She said yes but at first tried to only fix one nail. I had to point out that it was all of them, and if there wasn't time to fix it I understood, but maybe we could agree on not charging full price. The woman's boss made her do it over again. She re-did them and added a gel top coat instead at my request, and they looked much cleaner and nicer (albeit a little too thick, because she added a gel base coat AND a gel top coat, when only the top coat is necessary). I felt guilty the whole appointment, because I felt like I was throwing them curve balls the entire time, but at my previous salon (I just moved) I never had any of these issues. They would always even out my nails, my dip powder always looked amazing, and I was never rushed. I *may* try this salon one more time. Maybe it was just a bad day. Maybe I should have been clearer when I made the appointment. Everyone was nice, and the finished product did come out good, but it just took so much effort to get there and the appointment was a bit stressful.

I have had my eye on 4U Nails and Spa for a while now and had the chance to come check them out this past Saturday. Walking into the salon I was greeted by the workers who all looked happy to be there. As my pedicure was getting set up I looked over their selection of nail polish which seems pretty endless I decided on my color and went to sit down. The woman doing my pedicure was lovely and gave me one of the best foot massages I've ever had. I like how they line the pedicure tub with a plastic liner for sanitary purposes. While I was having my pedicure done another woman came over and started to take off my gel manicure on my hands and put them in gloves so that I could still look at my phone. Thought that was really nice. Once the pedicure was over we walked over to the manicure chair where my lady was waiting for me. I looked over their huge selection of gel colors which seemed endless and I loved it! A lot of places don't have such a large selection but 4U Nails has the largest nail art collection that I have seen to date. The nail art that they can do is amazing! Take a look at their instagram account for examples that they keep really up to date and provide you with great ideas. I really enjoyed my experience here over all and absolutely can't wait to come back and get my nails done again! Over all the prices were good the place was spotless and the service was on point.

This was my 2nd and last time at this place. My nails look like a 5 yr old did it. Anna did my manicure and pedicure. She was very slow. Got there at 5:40 pm. Left at 7:10 pm. She also did not seem to speak English. She filed my skin, hurt my cuticles, didnt shape my cuticles or nails properly. Put polish on like a 5 yr old could. Never ever again. Heres advice to you 4U nails......Hire people that can actually do a good job. Not a crap job. And to the public, Dont waste your money!

I went back today for a gel manicure, and it was a much improved experience. My nails look great. I even got a sweet little heart design. Alice, the creative director, did it. I'll certainly be making an appointment with her again!!

Hard gel ombré. These are my real nails. Dana filed and shaped them down more.

Just found my new go to place. Today was my first time going and I'm in love. I got hard gel ombré done with Dana, efficient/perfectionist knows what she's doing. Very happy knowing I got my money's worth and can't wait for my follow up.

French gel manicure

Have been going to 4u for years and they've never disappointed me! Just got a French gel manicure and Jane did such a great job! My pointer finger nail was actually cracked and breaking and she did a patch job and you would never know!

If you want quality nails, this is not the place to go. I don't think most the staff wants to be there, and although they are polite most of the time, many seem disinterested, while the nails fall apart within the next few days. Poor quality.

I asked for a strong massage (she didn't do it and had an attitude that she could care less - the chip on her shoulder was the size of Texas). The place does not provide hot stones for a regular pedicure while other nail salons do. I called the owner (Irene) to let he know that my gel manicure started to peel off a little over a week after I had gotten it done. Additionally, my cuticles were raw on some nails from Lia over filing. I was out of town on business and was not returning until the following week and asked about having it redone. She gave me a stern "NO" since it would be after the 2 week time since my last manicure. After explaining over and over again that I was not around therefore I was unable to come sooner to get it fixed., I was met with the "I don't care attitude." Moreso, it should not have happened to begin with. She out and out refused to do anything, which is horrible business practice. This seems to be a money grab for her as she has no customers the couple of times I have been there. The place is nothing special when you walk in as it looks and feels like many other nail salons. Additionally, my son went for a pedicure and the employee spent all of 10 minutes. I looked at the clock. When I told Irene this, she told me "no." A pedicure for a child takes longer than 10 minutes. Totally disgusted! What a waste of time and money!! Go elsewhere. There are plenty of other places to choose from. I was able to find a nail salon close to where I was staying on my business trip and they did a phenomenal job! You can't compare. This place is a ripoff, the help is terrible regarding attitude as well as service (including the owner). As a business owner, she has alot to learn. Upon returning home, I have an appointment set up with a place that has clients who expect only the best. Happy to drive to receive the service that equates to the price. It's all about knowing your worth.

I've tried other salons in Park Ridge but this place always has the best service. I walk out every time feeling like every cent I spent was worth it, and that says something about the care these ladies give because I'm very picky when it comes to my nails!! I go to Judy for my nails because I get fill ins but before I got them, I used to get my manicures done by Silvia or Carmen-- they both do fantastic jobs on my nails and are very friendly!! Judy does a terrific job shaping my nails to the way I want them and is great at picking colors. On days when I don't know what color or design to pick she has the best suggestions. I highly recommend Lucy or Mindy for pedicures and spa pedicures because they are very gentle and do an excellent job at trimming and shaping the nails. They pay attention to details and take extra care whenever I ask for something specific like my cutting my ingrown nails, which is also very much appreciated! I get massages from Joon time to time and they are amazing. He is so nice to everyone and is very skilled-- 10/10 would recommend! I love this place because they make me feel welcomed and valued. Every time I walk in they greet and smile at me warmly which is always much appreciated. I love the atmosphere of this salon because it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.

The place is clean, well-maintained, and easy to get to, with lots of parking right outside. Plus, it's fully accessible and has a restroom, which is a big plus.
