I was disappointed…read more I just moved to Arlington Heights and needed to find a new nail salon. I came across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was easily able to make a same day appointment. When I arrived, no one was there and the shop was locked! I waited a few more minutes & called the shop and they said someone would be there soon. I'm guessing this place only has someone there if they have a scheduled appointment - however it definitely frustrated me that my nail tech was late. Once inside, I was impressed with the color selection and how nice and clean the salon was. The tech did a great job on my gel manicure and my pedicure. However, since I was the only one there she rushed me to leave and didn't check if my toes were dried- so by the time I got home all of the polish was smeared. I tried calling to schedule a time to get it fixed however never received a call back on the voicemail I left.

Although they did a good job doing my nails when I went there for the first time, I got no chip…read moredone, but within a week, my middle fingernail chipped (see photo), so I stopped by to ask if they could redo the middle finger but the lady at the counter said we don't guarantee even if it's no-chip polish . I consider this very poor customer service so I will not be returning.

My nail beds are flat and my fingers slope up. This means having artificial nails is a challenge for me. Not with Michelle though. She's found the right products for me and knows how to build my nails where they are not popping off and lifting every week! This saves me a lot of money in the long run. I love all the work she's does and I highly recommend her!

My first impression was it was a beautiful nail salon. I was greeted promptly and staff were very…read morefriendly and professional. I picked a chrome color with a no chip polish change. My appointment was with Kelly and all seemed well until I got home and noticed my hands didn't match and 1 hand(4 nails) only were chrome and the rest were glitter. I went back and she fixed it in about 10 minutes and now they look absolutely perfect. I had to ask the owner if there would be a charge for fixing it and he said no problem. Once again the front desk was very nice but I think Kelly seemed annoyed but I paid $45 for a polish change with chrome and tipped her 20%. I'm not one to complain or go back for repairs but I'm very satisfied now. Not sure yet if I'll be back - hopefully they last at least 3 weeks.

After finding the salon on Instagram - I was impressed with the designs. I also felt the majority…read moreof the staff was friendly. But I felt that for the amount that was paid (170.00) the service was lazy and services are offered for profit and not for skill. The nail tech said that completely removing the builder gel with prior gel color would be a new set lol. He left me with ombré nail beds let me know a lot. He treated my gel overlay like acrylic smh. Also, the cuticles were not attended to or the natural nail bed. Then the nail tech wanted to argue with me about color. Im telling someone 6 times what I want - knowing that many artists have and can complete the task- is insane. Also expressing that I wanted alternating colors and an artist telling me I can only pick two is also insane. I've been trying to save time by staying in the suburbs for self care but it looks like we're going to have to go to the city. The design was pretty. But the service and nail care was sub par. I also had to get clear on the price which was another task in itself And there are too many salons that offer exactly what you're looking for , with great service and don't skip parts or nail care to rush you out of your service in an hour or 90 minutes. So I'll just go to Butterfly Nails or indie nail techs at this point.

I'm really surprised on the low reviews here…read more I decided to check out L. lovely nails after breaking up with my previous salon. I have had nothing but great experiences!

Part of the reason was I couldn't find a place I like nearby. I'm so lucky this place is only 5 minutes from my house. The place is so incredibly clean and their sanitary practices are perfection. That has been a big problem finding a place in wheeling that follows all the rules, where this place does all they are supposed to do and more. The inside is beautiful and they offered me coffee or tea. I had brought my own coffee so they gave me a little tray with some treats on it. Oksana was so kind and very thorough. My feet are like as smooth as a baby's feet right now and my polish is beautiful. I will definitely be returning!
