I am a licensed private nail tech of 4 years and a new client came to me very upset with the work done at this salon. They used MMA acrylic that is not approved by the FDA. The lady said she could do the design my client asked for and proceeded with the service. The nail design was not at all what she asked for. I'm not sure if this salon keeps up with their nail education but obviously something is lacking on their end. The lady charged $60 for these and had the audacity to ask for a tip. Please do your research before booking an appointment at any salon! read more

I got a no-chip manicure. On day 4, they were chipping. During my manicure, I noticed that after my polish was all put on, he aggressively filed the tips of each nail. I have never seen any one do that before. I am assuming that is why they chipped so fast. Seems like an odd thing to do. read more

Got dip nails they came out not how I wanted. Super bumpy and uneven. They cut the absolute mess out of my fingers though. I'm not talking about small cuts. Like sliced open my cuticle and burned me in multiple places. I'm lucky I didn't get an infection. read more

Friends. Do not go here. Backstory: my car died while I was on the road picking up a Facebook marketplace purchase. I was stranded, waiting for a tow. I walked in, asked if they had time for a regular mani. Sure yes. Come on. The staff literally started shouting at one another. Shouting. At one point, their voices became strained bc of the shouting. It was funny, for the first 10 mins. Like SNL skit funny. Then they calmed down. Then it started up again. Their faces were RED while shouting. I paid to be there. Aside from my car problems- it was already a bad day. This doubled, no tripled the insanity. Please skip this place read more

Nancy was kind enough to fit me in same-day for dipping powder the night before my business trip. Not only is she so sweet and kind, but she is super efficient at dipping powder and can get it done in under 45 min and it looks perfect. She even offered to do a color change on my toes, and stayed 20 min past closing to do it. Kim is also great and will take care of you. These people will go out of their way to make sure you have good service. read more

my 22 yr old daughter and I made appointments and went in for Mani/pedi's. The pedicures were painful-the man doing them (1 guy) asked no questions, offered no options/packages for pedicures and was so rough it actually hurt. There was nothing relaxing about them and my daughter was literally bleeding after it. When we brought it to their attention, they gave her a discount- should have been free. The dip/manicure was better but after urging from the nail tech i switched colors and it is not even close to the color on my toes. 2 hours wasted and hundreds of dollars later -never going back and do not recommend. read more

The customer service here is awesome! They are very attentive, hold a conversation with you and take care of you. I came into their shop today with my 9month old while waiting for my car to be serviced and my daughter was going nuts.. one of the ladies walked around with my crying baby so I can get my nails done! They were so understanding and I couldn't be more grateful! They even did my pedicure and fill together to help speed up time! Highly recommend these ladies!! read more

My pedicure was great relaxing and well taken care of with care. They called me by my name and also remembered me from a year ago

My nail person was more into his phone the. What I wanted. The language barrier was horrible. My polish was so thick that they added something to it that it never dried! My toes were all messed up before I got home. I asked for my nails to be trimmed and he just filed them. I will not be back! I really used to like this place! Not now! read more

I went in for an acrylic fill, tech has a poor fill technique for sure. I always say I will never go back to this place again and still end up going back because they are so close to my home and easy to get to. This is the final straw, I will not be returning. My fill was horrible, able to see where the fill and the old acrylic starts, didn't use enough to blend, blending just sloppy. Then she filed my natural nail down so much, when the acrylic was removed, it looks like an entire portion of my natural nail is gone. Never again! read more

A Q Nails - Poor fill technique - Nail Salons Near Me - North Aurora, Illinois

Went here before with my son and they were very nice and didn't mind him sitting with me. This time around it was so different the receptionist was asleep and ignored me when I came in. Then I explained that I had acrylic every natural nail I wanted soaked off then a manicure yo give my nails a break. They starred with filing down the acrylic then she started just ripping off nails they are completely destroyed and they didn't decide to listen to me till I was literally in tears. My nails are now short and completely ruined and I have to start all over again to get them grown out again. For sure am never going back after this experience I actually went to another salon to see how my nails could be saved after this whole ordeal read more

My mom, brother and I came in on a Sunday morning with an appointment for 3 manicures and 3 pedicures. We were promptly greeted when we walked in and were taken back for our pedicures. My mom and I got started immediately with our pedicures and my brother sat with his feet soaking until someone was available to work on him. He ended up sitting with his feet soaking for ONE HOUR before anyone came over to start his pedicure. By the time they started working on him, his water was cold and both my mom and I were done with our pedicures AND manicures! Very disappointing since we made appointments a week in advance. My manicure was decent, although I had to remind the girl to put clear coat on my toes before putting on the color during my pedicure. Very disappointed, will not be returning. read more

I went into this salon and showed the technician the photo on the right as far as what I was looking for. The photo on the left is what I got... I feel like she rushed the whole process. She put on the tips and cut them into the "coffin" shape which seemed to turn out way more pointed than I wanted. She then used a pink acrylic gel on top which when dried is a lot more clear than anticipated. I can clearly still see my real nail underneath. I've been to this salon multiple times and obviously asking for something different than a regular manicure is just something they cannot handle. read more

It's an okay job but they look like when I do them at home Maybe I'm just picky but not what I was hoping they'd look for my engagement pictures read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for 5 years and yesterday marks my last visit. I came in to get a fill, full set and my 5 year old nails painted. The service was fine; it's only when it was time to checkout did we encounter a problem!! The gentleman checking us out obviously didn't know what he was doing. Twice he said the payment wouldn't go through. I advised that there was more than enough money in the account to cover the services. A woman came up to assist him and they then took a payment of $45 and another for $55, and had the audacity to ask if I was tipping... at that point NO! I was definitely aggravated! We then walked out the salon and to my car. As I was about to close my car door, the same lady that took my payment advised that the payment didn't go through. I then decided to use another card. She charged my other card $102, the amount of the services. I called customer service while sitting in the parking lot to ensure the payment didn't go through on my other card before going back into the salon... and guess what... that payment did go through too! I asked for a refund, showed them where the payment came out and she stated I had to wait on the owner. I called this morning and was advised that the owner wouldn't be available until Wednesday; how pathetic!! What would've happened if I didn't have another $102 to make ANOTHER payment???? I would've had the police called on me.... That's it!! At this point, this is considered theft in my book and NOT ok! read more

Ok so Memorial Day this was closest place ope. Quiet place. The woman's name I believe was Lana. She was fun. I didnt want color I just wanted stronger nails. She said powder overlay. Pictures at end. This was very nice, she did a great job. I will be back. I came in with a picture on far left. The shape is perfect for typing. read more

Friendly staff, super clean, always enjoy going here! Their pedicures are AMAZING and so are their manicures, and eyebrow waxing. If you're looking for a new nail salon, this is the place to check out. :) read more

If I could give them no stars I would. I understand that with covid we have to be understanding but being rude and unkind to others shouldn't be part of that. I arrived for an appointment and they told me to wait a little bit. Half an hour later still waiting, no one came up to check in or anything. One of the ladies got angry with a customer and was rude to her as well. I called Ajita nail spa down the street and they took me right away with great professionalism. read more

I got a pedicure here and not only was it a disappointing one at that but i now have an infection on my big toe. I am on an antibiotic and have to watch to make sure it doesnt spread up my foot. Infections come from unsanitary implements. So the nail tech, or just the unlicensed person who was doing my toes, cut my nail wall when cutting my cuticles, which you are not supposed to do in the state of illinois, and then used a dirty brush to clean up the shotty paint job that was dipped into a bottle of acetone with a sponge that was disgusting. And then put it on my skin. DO NOT use this facilty. The tools are wrapped but pay attention on what isnt wrapped. The acrylic brushes, the nail files, the nail buff block, cuticle oil brush, the brush they use to correct polish mistakes, the dremel bits, pumice stones, etc... All of these items touch other peoples skins and do not get sanitzed or cant be sanitized because of their porous material they should be disposed of after every use but they arent. BEWARE!!! read more

Extremely rude technician! He had an attitude the second I sat down for pedi. He was rough and broke a glass right next to my chair. He never said a word while he judt swept up glass and returned to finish. He started my mani and said he couldn't do cause it was too hard. I have like a hand disorder where my fingers don't straighten all the way. I have had manicures everywhere around here with no trouble whatsoever. I needed last minute so came here. Never again! read more

Got a pedi and mani here and I loved it. Quick and just want I needed. Thank you Kim!

The staff was friendly but while i was getting them done the technician was very rough and on accident cut me at the bottom of my nail. also she didn't put enough coats of nail polish on and messed up the coffin shape and one of my nails are crooked. the technician was nice but didn't really do a good job. Do not think i'm going to return.. read more

Nancy does a great job. Lana is another favorite. Am very happy with their services and have been going there for years

Awful experience. First time at this salon, I had a manicure and pedicure the whole service took about 30 minutes. The lady was very rushed and did a very sloppy job. You could see where she missed painting my nails with polish and clear. I went back a day later because they were chipped and the people were rude, made me feel very uncomfortable I waited quite awhile when I had made an appointment. The same lady repainted over my chipped nails ( instead of removing the chipped polish) with globs of paint to attempt to make them smooth but that never dried and then went on to say next time a man can do your nails- like I'm sexist or something. Completely uncalled for and disrespectful. Posted is a picture of my nails hours later showing they never dried. They smudged trying to take my pants off... Terrible quality, terrible service. read more

They did a good job on our nails. Just wish they were a bit more friendly. The guy doing my nails seemed annoyed the whole time. I got a full set done and I took my little sister for a mani pedi! Didn't like that they charge full price for a kids mani pedi but oh well guess I'll take her elsewhere next time! Overall our polish looks great! read more

I'm from out of town and I've been looking for a good nail salon here and i think I've found it! It's clean, they use new tools on everyone, and they have a wide range of polish colors! I didn't get my nail technicians name but she did a fabulous job with my gel full set. I was in and out in 25 mins. She was really fast but at the same time and was careful not to make any mistakes and my nails came out perfect. Can't wait to come back! read more

Although I had gone to this nail salon a couple times before, I was not too sure if I liked it or didn't. When I went back today, I realized how bad this place really was. Although I repeatedly told them I wanted a gel set, they gave me an acrylic set and still charged me for a gel set because supposedly my nails were broken and they had to replace them. They didn't bother to help me with my stuff after finishing painting my nails so everything messed up. Employees seem rushed and don't seem to care about your nails at all. All my nails are not even the same size or shape. Very disappointed. Will never go back there again!! read more
