    Also, aside from the infection, this isn't even a great pedicure. It's only been two days. Do better.
    Wallis Y.

    Took forever. Chunky, poor sculpting skills for sculpted (acrylic) nails, which had to be redone and ultimately were completed poorly with one coat of gel paint, not several covering the re-shaped area resulting in uneven paint application. The first person doing my manicure also braised me with the drill on my fingertip, which he shrugged off, dismissing my pain. Insane. I also woke up to left with a toe oozing pus yesterday because they are overzealous at removing side cuticles during pedicures and dunking your foot into unsanitary tubs. Overall would not recommend, the level of service for the price point is wild left $120 poorer and what do I have to show for it?

    Best no-chip manicure! They really take their time and the quality is impeccable. I've had it on for 2 weeks now and color hasn't chipped/faded and my nail beds are still in great shape. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful nails!

    Highly recommend! What a beautiful community spot! Great care and attention to detail. Loved the quality and the owner is so friendly and happy! Plus massage chairs!!!! LOVE!!!! I also got the volcano pedicure which was so relaxing. It include a scrub, fizzy water, hot towel and massage. At the time I went there was even a 20% discount on services!!!

    I went in for a manicure with gel. The lady who attended me was rude and wasn't answering my questions that were specific to the manicure. She grew impatient when she gave me two options of nail color and I took a few seconds to decide which one I wanted. The place only had four customers including myself. When I would put my hands in the warming gel machine my fingertips felt like they were burning. I hadn't experienced that before so I asked her why my fingertips were experiencing a burning sensation and she wouldn't answer. She was on her cell phone a lot too. I went on vacation the next day for five days so no cooking or washing dishes. By the 3rd day the gel was bubbling up. On the fifth day a piece of the gel came off. By the 7th day the gel of two nails had come off and on another one it was almost all gone. I went to get it removed and luckily I had someone else, probably the owner, do it for me. She was understanding and didn't charge me for the removal. She said she was surprised because the gel is supposed to last 6 weeks. If that was the case, why not offer to do my nails again for free or reimburse me for the $50 unsuccessful nail work? I will not go back even though the lady (probably owner/ manager) said that she would take care of my nails next time instead of going with the other lady. Maybe the day was off and the nail tech had a rough day so she made a mistake. I really don't know what happened.

    Dip French manicure

    This was my first visit to this nail salon for a dip manicure, and I couldn't be happier. April did an amazing job! I also really appreciate that they respect appointment times and don't overbook walk-ins, so there's no waiting if you have a scheduled appointment. I'll definitely be returning!

    April was so kind and nails turned out exactly how I wanted !!!! Would recommend this place to anyone & everyon

    I moved to Chicago in January and was overwhelmed by the options for nails, but chose April's because it was close. I am SO glad that I did. The atmosphere is relaxed and kind and my nails have looked incredible. I feel like they spend as much time is needed to make the nails exactly what you want. I've never felt rushed there and my nails have never chipped and usually last until they have grown out. They are always able to squeeze me in and are genuine (somehow they remember what I do and ask about my partner every time!). I will not be going anywhere else. For the quality and ease of always being able to schedule a time or walk in, their prices are great. I've gotten a few more complicated designs on my nails and they were able to perfectly match a photo I brought in. I cannot recommend them enough. There is also always (free) street parking which is another bonus.

    Really great pedicure with decent price point! My mom and I had a great time. Everything looked sanitary and clean. Will be back.

    French manicure

    Loved this place will definitely come back. I got french tip manicure and pedicure, it was very well done. The vibe is bright, open, and very friendly.

    Today I was in the area and decided to come by to this particular location out of all the places in…read morethe area. Just to clarify this is by first time coming to this location. When I arrived I specifically asked for a "French no chip mani" lady asked me like 30 questions before proceeding to do the job and I was very clear explaining what I wanted. Through out the entire visit as soon as she started applying the color I had asked for she kept complaining that "the job seemed to be easy, but it is not". I totally understand the job wasn't easy and that is the reason why I pay for someone to do it for me. I pay from my pocket I don't expect for it to be FREE. She kept making mess herself and painting her own finger tips and she did once on the center of my nail. She kept complaining over and over again that the color was too messy and talking to her colleagues next to her in her language and I can almost guarantee that she was talking about my nails since the guy was too obvious staring at my nails. Please note that I had in mind that I was going to pay over $60 since I know this is what they normally charge in other places and I did not care about it as long as I received the service I wanted it and that I like and on top of that I normally leave a tip which is over the % they normally tip them. She did not do what I had asked for and only she only applied once coat on each finger. She made me put my right hand once because she kept messing up. When she "finished" she asked me "if I like" my mistake was saying yes since she already looked exhausted and upset and I didn't know that they only require cash tips. As soon as I told her that I was leaving tip on the card with the front person she immediately said "only cash" and I said to her I didn't have any cash and she immediately said "Zelle, you have it" I said yes to her and I proceeded sending her the tip I should her I had already send it to her and saw the amount which was $15 her face expression changed instantly not sure if she was ashamed of the actions and complaining throughout, but she even grab my hand as a form gratitude I am assuming. As I proceeded to pay the front desk immediately ask me for Zelle also and charged me $70 which I did not care because I know that was a "hard work". As I am in the car I checked them again and you can see the spots and the edges not fully covered. This is the very first time I come to a place where they only do I coat and specifically for a dark color (black) I am very dissatisfied and disappointed. I am also sure that in a couple days the color will start fading away. But will definitely not recommend and never commit back!

(We were lucky to get in last minute with a major football game falling at the same time as our appointment). The interior of the nail salon is so calming, love the soft lighting, the pleasant background music on, TV with close captioned Golden Girls going and bohemian interior with its crystal chandeliers, Moroccan stencils on one window, subway tile on a wall, and French chic pieces throughout. You don't feel like you're in a nail salon. Estella and Michelle did our honey and milk spa pedicures (the upgrade was worth it) and regular manicures. Both were great and our paws and hands feel so much better as a result. I wish this salon existed back home... I love the little touches as well on how this salon supports good causes and takes the longer route to remove gel versus electric filing which always feels like it damages the top of my nail. Really great business and looking forward to return visits!

It's also less expensive than other places I've been to. However, I came for a no-chip mani and regular pedi, and it took over 2 hours, and the no-chip chipped the next day on one finger. I've been to other nail salons for the same service and it took half the time and did not chip. I wish them well but don't think I'll be back.

    TLDR: DO NOT COME HERE FOR DAZZLE DRY, spend your money elsewhere!…read more I booked an appointment here for dazzle dry manicure and pedicure, about $15 above the average price in the area. When I arrived, I saw to my dismay they had a much more limited array of dazzle dry colors, so I had to compromise on a toe color that was an off red when I wanted a more classic red. It was hard to tell though how off, as the space was dimly lit with blue white light that made it hard to picture what it would look like in sunlight. I unfortunately do not know the name of my nail technician, as on the reservation it said a female name but he was a man. My pedicure and manicure ended up being much faster than at other places, and as he started my left hand a female technician came up and started chatting and they just continued to talk the rest of my appointment. My manicure was a light color and I was outside I realized the thumb was not only very clearly not even layers, but it also had ripples. I unfortunately did not take a picture, but by the time I was able to come back five hours later I also realized there was multiple pin prick holes on my left hand nails; which means he likely did not know how to apply dazzle dry and put the layers on too thick and without drying, which already did not look great and also meant they were likely to chip further within a couple days. When I came back and asked them to redo the hand, they insisted I be seen by the same man as before despite me asking for someone more experienced with dazzle dry. He redid my thumb but refused to redo the other nails with holes other than to put clear. While the thumb looked better, it still had either a crack or a dark hair or something and still wasn't even. At this point I asked if they could just refund me the $20 for dazzle dry as I was going to need to repaint it soon but respected they had done the rest of the manicure/pedicure and they said absolutely no refunds. They finally gave me someone else who actually did fix it, but this meant my second trip took forty minutes, which was really upsetting because I had paid for dazzle dry as I was busy and wanted something that would dry fast and last a longer time. I have attached photos of fingers after the SECOND ATTEMPT. He also did not file my big toes evenly, they still had bumpy edges.

He went so deep that I jumped in pain. His boss then intervened. Over the 2 visits he had removed so much nail that my nail beds were tender. The owner redid the job and I told her of my dissatisfaction. Now, about a week later, my nails are chipping again as there is no nail to support the gel. My nails are ruined.

When I left, I wasn't completely satisfied the tips were a bit crooked and too thin, and the French base was more milky white instead of the neutral pink I prefer.
