I took my mom to this salon yesterday for a little mani-pedi pampering for her birthday. I called in the morning to make an appointment, as I am not a fan of walking in and having to wait, and the woman on the phone said she could get us in at 12:30pm. We arrived at 12:30pm and thought the salon was pretty empty, until we poked around the corner to see all the pedicure chairs completely full. All technicians were working as well, so we knew we would have to unfortunately wait. We picked our colors and they surprisingly had us in pedi chairs within 5 minutes. Once we were comfortable we soon realized that we would be waiting a while. 35 minutes later, as we were about to dry our feet off and leave, but the woman must have heard our discussion and swooped in to proclaim it would only be "1 more minute". We again contemplated leaving, because we weren't going to pay to be rushed out of this salon. The technicians were busting their butts to get to all customers in a timely manner, so it wasn't as if anyone was dragging, and they all appeared to appreciate the busyness of the salon. We decided to stay and I have to say our experience changed from there. The gentleman that did my nails was a little rough with my cuticles, but he took his time, and did not seem irritated (as most do) while he was going through his routine. He did a great job with my cuticles and the painting of my nails. He moved fast, but I didn't feel rushed, and he made very few, if any mistakes. The woman that did my mom even gave her an extra special birthday back massage. I have never been to this location before, so I don't know if thats customary? I assumed it wasn't since I received the standard arm and hand massage. It appeared that time management was the simple snafu in this salon. I can only imagine how difficult it is to manage walk in's and folks that call in to make reservations. Anyway, my nails look great, my mom was pleased with her birthday mani- pedi, and it turned out to be a pretty good experience. There are a couple other salons in the area, but I will keep this one in the rotation :) read more

Came to leave a great review only to see all the negative reviews. Had me double checking to make sure it was the same place, it is. However, my hubby and I have a wonderful experience every time we go for our pedicures. I am always in awe of how clean and spotless the place is. The ladies always have done a great job with us. We actually look forward to our appointments here. Strange to read bad reviews of this place. read more

This was one of the first times I've gone for a pedi in about a year... I have nerve damage from past back surgery and I can no longer do my own. I went in just for a basic pedi and was met by a wonderful woman who gently took care of me. It was one relaxing experience. My feet and legs have never felt better! Cannot wait for the next one! read more

Focus on your client, I went for a toe nail clipping and she cut my toe to where it was bleeding, she was focused more on talking and not concentrating on what she was doing. Will never go their again , I guess my service was not expensive enough, they only want pedicures and manicures where it cost more, when they found out I only wanted a toe nail clip no one wanted to take me read more

This salon was dirty and chaotic. The woman's tools were unsanitary and she cut my finger when filing my nail. As I was bleeding she attempted to put some strange chemicals from a dirty unlabeled bottle on the open wound and I had to ask her to stop. I will never return and my finger still hurts. read more

I had the worst experience twice in a row at this place! If you are lucky to have the owner do your nails then you might walk out happy - but everyone else will not be worth your time or money! Bad manicure or color change, worst pedicure, and unfriendly employees!! I walked in today for a color change and I got a service that I could have done at my own house for free!!! The technician had no idea what she was doing, she was very aggressive and cut me twice while filing my nails, a few of them were extremely rude before I even sat down, and the owner didn't care! Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else. I used to like this place but the quality has gone down drastically. read more

I made an appointment for a pedi with Lena recommended by her long-time customer, my good friend , and she was too busy for my apt that was set for me with her. I was taken almost 30 min later by someone else no apology. The whole time, she's on her headphones talking to someone. Her scrub down was weak, and she didn't do great on cleanup on nails. I was very disappointed. It was super unprofessional, and now I probably won't be back because of it. It's a shame. She talked highly about Lena. She didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. Didn't like the way I was handled. It's a shame. They lost a new customer right off the bat. Guess I wasn't important as a referral. Never again. read more

Had a pedicure on Saturday afternoon and it was a poor experience. Technicians need to think about what they've doing!! I had already cut my nails at home but the technician immediately started to cut them without even looking at them. I stopped her. The cuticles on my feet were non-existent except maybe my big toe. She cut and cut without even looking at them first. I don't have them use a scraper for calluses, only a pumice which I supply because it's stronger than theirs. I had to redo the calluses when I got home. The scrub and massage were marginal at best. The experience was a waste of time and money. I'll be talking to the manager asking to give me someone who thinks the next time. read more

I use to love going here, but today was terrible! I had to leave in the middle of my no chip! First off it took 1 hr 1/2 just to remove and file my nails! The guy didn't have a clue what he was doing for sure! After he filed my nails they were so sharp like knives! Ugh then he proceeded to start painting them! I knew it was time to just get up and be done with this. They charged me 21 dollars for this also!! So disappointed read more

I am extremely Happy with Lena.. I get nail dip done and pedicure regular nail Polish.. Lena takes care of me professionally..

My granddaughter went to get her nails done for her 8th grade dance and graduation. The woman was extremely rude and not friendly at all! She rushed through the process. My granddaughter asked why she left so much space between the cuticle and nail. She was told something she could not understand. She filed her nails roughly and hurt her skin. There were many people coming in and she told each one a 2 minute wait. The woman never smiled and definitely was not welcoming. We will definitely not be returning. read more

This is my favorite spot to get a pedicure. Their basic pedicure feels more than a basic pedi. This place is not near me so sometimes when I want a pedi I will try a new place around me...then I am incredibly disappointed that they did not pamper me like they do at A.Q. Their basic pedicures lasts a little longer than other places (especially the massaging part) and I love the warm towel part. So I guess I will do the extra driving for the extra pedicure perks. I just tried their VIP spa pedicure this past week and wow talk about an hour of relaxation. They did a foot scrub, mint mask, paraffin treatment, another lotion treatment, extra massage time...I think I doze off for a bit. I also like that the place is very very clean and opened on Sundays. read more

Went there today, 12/15/19 to get a nail dip. I had picked #25 for a mauve looking color. Well, it turned out red. It was not the color that had matched the sample. Female worker who did not do my nails stated many things that could not be possible for the color to turn red and not mauve. She stated my natural nails were too pink, the base they applied was also pink, the sun made the sample fade. All of these excuses that made no sense for a color to change. How can the sun make a color mauve turn red when they have a black screen covering the window. I was so upset and asked for a discount that they refused to give me and and said I could change my color to a different one or go back tomorrow to change. I will never go back again. Customer service was not as high to me as other reviews mentioned. People often question Hispanics speaking a different language but never make any comments to those who do your nails who refuse to speak English as well. Let that sink in... read more

I should've taken the 3 stars as a warning. While the workers were okay, they still could've been nicer and neater. My nails ended out cute but they were nothing like my reference photo. The lady who did my nails was also very harsh on my cuticles. I would not recommend this business. Only come here if you do not care what your nails look like. read more

Love this nail salon! I've struggled in the past to find a salon I genuinely enjoy, and none can compare to A Q. The vibe inside is very cozy and welcoming. Interior is all updated and clean. Vivian is very pleasant and hospitable. She does a fantastic job. On a super busy afternoon, she still took her time on my nails, while also making sure other customers were being taken care of. Overall, great customer service. I will definitely keep this as my go to spa. read more

I loved my nails but they are thin. I put my hand in my pants pocket to get something and my pinky nail flew off! When i get my nails done where i usually go they never just pop off. But the lady did my design by hand and it's very pretty. read more

Went to go get my nails done today to get a manicure. And i had on acrylics. the worker could not take off my acrylics I had on before and ripped them off. I walked out of the salon. Worker also did not speak english and had me speak into her phone to translate. read more

Staff was not pleasant and unprofessional. The entire time the staff was fighting and yelling across the room. Pedicures are a form of self care and relaxation for me, and this was the complete opposite. I wish them the best but I will not be back. read more

I have been going to the salon for many years and appreciated them always trying to accommodate a walk-in. The last couple of times the pedicures have been pretty rough and they are pretty aggressive with the toenail cuticle scissors and end up pulling out the side of the toenail which can be very painful. I thought it was an exception the last time it happened but it's been a little tortuous the two times I went. it has been extremely rushed and the technicians feel pressured to finish quickly and because of that I think they work fast and aggressive without a delicate touch. Today I have two very sore and red irritated sides of my big toenails so I think unfortunately I have to give up on them. read more

First time getting my nails done here and won't come back. I got a dip powder. Color was nothing like the sample. It was very rushed, left nail polish on sides of my nails, and they didn't even put cream/massage on my hands like every other place does. read more

Just left AQ, I have been going there for years. Today's experience may have changed that. The technician was on her phone for 90% of my no chip manicure, uneven nail, and a bloody cuticle. I really have to think twice if I'll return. read more

I ended up coming here after getting a terrible pedicure at another salon and got the best service I have ever had. They were happy to help pick colors AND she even begged me to let her fix my pedicure from the other place. SO glad I chose to come here and definitely will be back!! read more

First and last time I will be going to this place. The staff that I interacted with was very rude and unprofessional. Overall an unpleasant experience. read more

Usually love this place but not today pushy,rude and cut my toe with cuticle nippers now it's burning up upsetting really

For the last six years now, I have been coming to A Q Nails and can say, without hesitation, that this is the best nail salon in the area! As someone who does not pamper myself often, I truly enjoy the atmosphere and experience at A Q Nails, not to mention how happy I am with the way that my nails look after I step out of the chair. The staff at the salon is extremely professional and go out of their way to ensure that I feel pampered. The salon is clean and well-kept, the staff is friendly, and I always leave thrilled with how my nails look... what more could you ask for?! -Bozena read more

Horrible service, made an appointment ahead of time and still had to wait 30 minutes. Never coming back

My wife went here a three times and no more. Dirty and unsanitary tools. Used nail files. She asked for them to be sterilized and got a huff. The third time she requested a specific person. Another staffer approached her in the waiting area to do her and said she is waiting for so and so. She got huffy and started speaking in her native language to her colleagues. Done there. She now goes to Orland Park where the tools are professionally sanitized and removed from a sealed plastic bag each time. AG can keep their unsanitary conditions and lousy attitude. Do you really want dirty tools from someone's fungus nails or toenails on your fingernails? Look at the other one star ratings here. There is much more to the big picture than "pretty" graphics to photograph on your fingernails. read more

I have to tell you Vivian the manager at A Q Nails & Spa are great I have been going there for years and today ran in because I had a few chips on my nails Vivian took me in right away and not only fixed it but re did my entire set of nails now thats customer service!

Great nail salon. I have been going there for years . Great customer service and very clean.

Made this my go-to mani/pedi location because of the experienced, efficient and stable staff. With constant turnover, inexperienced and inefficient staff lately I will try other places nearby for comparison. Especially after 3 hours for a regular mani/pedi with no chip removal. read more

I got my nails done here once a few months ago. I had gotten acrylics. The nail tech who had done my nails at this salon was somewhat rough while doing my nails and my nails looked pretty thick when you looked at them. It may have just been that nail tech that just didn't do a good job. My sister went with me and got acrylics as well and she didn't like how hers turned out. I decided that I would not return for a second visit. I wish that I enjoyed my visit because they are so close to my house! read more

Overpriced. I went in for a regular pedicure and a gel manicure and it was $72. No one had name tags so I don't know who helped me but she offered me two kinds of pedicure, the first one for $39 and the second for $52 but she couldn't explain to me the difference between the two of them. Overall the pedicure was fine but when it came to my gel manicure she was about to paint my nails without cutting my cuticles, she just pushed it back so I had to ask her to cut them short but she still didn't. Then I asked her not to cut my nails short because I like them longer, only file them, she filed them to the stub, super short. I really don't like short nails and this is the shortest I've ever had my nails walking out of a nail salon. And lastly I picked a color that I had before and absolutely loved, but because she only did two coats and not that well I could still see through my nail. I was very disappointed to spend $72 and walk out of there unhappy. Not going back again read more

Finally found a good nail salon. They stayed open an extra hour to finish my nails. They were so nice and did an amazing job.

I have been coming here for over 6 months now since I am new to the area. Powder dip was good but today I got a pedicure and the lady was so rude. My feet don't even look like I got a pedicure. I have dead skin all over my feet and my ankles are still rough. She also pulled out the side of my big toe and now I am in pain. She also added acetone to the nail polish to finish my nails and got upset because I told her not to do that since the manicure won't last that way. She was throwing my hand around and moving my fingers in an aggressive way. Will not be going back. Very upset. I hope I don't get an infection in my toe. read more

I've had my nails done here a few times and they've done a decent job. The biggest issue is customer service and timing. It's close to my house so I've given it multiple chances despite the fact that I'm consistently let down. Last time I made an appt and waited 35 minutes before i was acknowledged again after checking in. It was the holidays so I cut them some slack. I just came from another appt where I waited over an hour without being serviced. I understand overbooking and busy days, however this happens regularly and without the acknowledgement of the staff. It's frustrating when they don't inform you how late they're running or even apologize. Unfortunately despite the convenience, I won't be giving them another shot. read more

WORSE PLACE EVER DO NOT COME HERE, every worker was on their phones and i waited 45 minutes when they weren't even busy, the lady didn't even ask how long i wanted my nails and automatically clipped them so short when i never get short nails ever, i was already waiting forever so i was like whatever then i'm not waiting another 10 minutes for her to redo that, then i wanted marble nail design and she said they don't know how to do that, so i wanted an ombré glitter and she completely did the exact opposite of what i wanted, they were extremely rude and did not care about the customers's needs, i will never be attending this place again. read more

Love AQ! I've never had a bad mani or pedi. They're reasonably priced, clean, friendly, and when I'm in a pinch and have to bring my kiddos, they take the best care of them too! Don't believe these negative reviews, check them out for yourself! read more
