So I decided to give Every Nails a try this morning. What a peaceful quiet place to get a no chip mani & pedi. One of the few times I actually got to relax in my chair for my pedi without having another person talking on their cell phone. The pedicure stations are separated by a class window in another room which helps keep the noise factor down. The owners could not have been more pleasant. The place was immaculate and there's so many colors to choose from as well. My no chip turned out ahhh-mazing. I had Sarah who did a fab job. Part of the no chip included a paraffin wax on my hands. My hands haven't been this soft or moisturized probably since the early fall. Great place in the north shore. Prices are within the range of everyone else I go to, but the shop itself was just I what I needed to unwind.

When I arrived, they said I could choose any color for Dazzle Dry, which sounded to me like it was available (I mean, don't you agree?). It was only after I sat down and they started, that they mentioned they could not do Dazzle Dry. At this point, it really didn't matter. This was the lowest priced mani I've had in several weeks -- $20. Weird to me: - completely dry - no soaking of nails - I mentioned that I don't do no chip anymore cause the drills freak me out and then they took out a drill to do my cuticles - nail tech stopped halfway through and someone else finished However, I did like: - peaceful ambience - quiet - tech said I had hands like a doll - relaxing hand massage - inexpensive They let me sit for a few minutes to let my nails air dry (no dryer) but I always hate that so I left as soon as I could. I thought I might have messed up with the seat belt but it was ok. As of today--nails still look great.

A friend of mine texted and asked if I wanted to join her for a pedicure on a Saturday afternoon…read more The answer to that question is always yes, so she gave me the name of Spa Dabin and I called to schedule an appointment at the same time as hers. Tucked away in a small strip mall, I'd never seen or heard of Spa Dabin before, but I'm so glad my friend knew of it! She used to frequent their location in Old Town before moving to the suburbs. This location is a bit on the smaller side and the layout felt a little peculiar. We were greeted warmly and given our choice of aromatherapy options for the pedicure. They had a great selection of colors in all of the standard brands. The pedicure itself was great - very relaxing and the woman who did mine went above and beyond to remove some calluses. The pedicure seats are across from a tv but if the volume was on at all, it wasn't noticeable. We were easily able to hold a conversation. When we moved to the dryers, we each got a quick but very nice neck and shoulder massage. Pricing was comparable to other nail salons in the area, and I appreciated being able to tip right from Venmo.

Good professional and friendly service. Attention to detail. Ease of scheduling appointments.read more

Not here! When you pull up, you wouldn't expect much. It's in a safe yet deserted/depressing strip mall, but the inside is very clean and tastefully decorated. The manicurist herself was very sweet and did a wonderful job with my nails. I am truly appreciative of how long they've lasted! You can't tip using cash, from what I remember, and they offer Venmo as an option. The Venmo address is of the owner, and she joked that she would take most of the tip herself, but then she said she was kidding. It was a bit confusing, but I think she was just trying to joke around with customers! They play good music here too. If you have been wondering what Mongolian rap and pop sounds like, you do not have to wonder for much longer. (Spoiler: It sounds a lot like whatever the US makes, just in Mongolian!)

It's a bit nondescript from the outside, no signage, although the logo is on the door. It's striking and different inside -- lots of black and plants, botanical plant mural on the wall. It seems quite spacious, although I was the only customer (best for last?). I've been looking specifically for dazzle dry manicures around the area, and that's how I found Legen--wait for it--dary, and I booked online. They did reschedule my appointment because the original nail tech couldn't do DD. Gulzat handled my manicure and did a very nice job, we talked about perfumes (Baccarat Rouge, she complimented me), she offered me a drink, changed up the color when I asked for more sparkle, and did a neat and clean job, nice cuticles. The manicure was a bit more compared to the other salons I've been to recently, and my hands were dry (no lotion). There are other beauty services offered at Legen--I'm allergic to--dary, so I might check them out. All jokes aside, I think my manicure at Legendary was nicely done.

They typically do very well at match mart and Marianne takes great care in ensuring my nail beds never got compromised during removal. Unfortunately this is not the standard for all salons. Whoever helped me exclusively used a drill, I am assuming because she wanted to save time. I had to tell her multiple times that my nail bed was getting too hot and even jumped in pain. Only once ever did I get a removal service like this elsewhere and I never went back - unfortunately I won't be back at this location either. Two weeks later and my nails are still splitting as the grow up and in incredible pain. In short, It took me weeks and weeks to grow my nails out and now I have to start from square -10. This is hurts like crazy, I told the lady she was drilling too much and she said "that's what she had to do". This is just unacceptable.

My friend and I decided to get pedicures at Astra for the first time after noticing it is a new salon. I am so glad we did! I received the best pedicure I've ever had. It lasted around an hour and was very relaxing. The staff was welcoming and experienced, and the owner was very friendly! The place was nicely decorated and everything was very clean. Everyone was patient while we decided which polish color to use, and as soon as we sat down we were offered water and coffee. The massage chairs were great, and the man who did my pedicure made my legs and feet so smooth! Great massage as well. They even used a hot stone on our legs and feet, which was something I've never experienced before. It was awesome! I absolutely loved my time at Astra and will go there exclusively. I'm excited to try some of their other services as well, such as eyebrow waxing. I'll recommend it to everyone I know. Can't wait to return! read more

I wanted to try a new place out, as I normally get my nails done at a salon in Highland Park. I am so glad my friend and I went to Astra Nails & Spa for a pedicure. It was hands down the BEST pedicure I have ever gotten. The staff was very kind, the price was reasonable, the scrubs/oils smelled good, and the hot stone felt great. There is so much to love about Astra Nails. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely experience. read more

There's large flat screen TVs that are always muted (for peace and tranquility) but are playing something entertaining to watch while you relax. There's beautiful crystal chandeliers on the ceiling.

When I called, was told they do not do walkins- but could make an appointment if I could get there in the next 10 min. Not sure if the no apt policy is new to their reopening, but I totally agree with it as the best way to keep fewer people in a confined space. On the inside, they had a TON of protective equipment- plexiglass between each station as well as between the technician and client. They were also taking temperatures, and everything was disposable- from the soaking bowl for nails to paper towels instead of washcloths, etc. On top of that, the entire salon was spotlessly clean. As for the manicure - I went for a gel no chip. It was a little more expensive than my place in the city ($40 total, its about $30 at my usual place). But honestly, worth the extra $$ for the level of cleanliness/ protective gear. Tons of color options and I love that they have them all painted on acrylics in a big book - much easier to see than just looking at the colors on the shelf. Also, they had TONS of white options which is my go to in summer- loved that you could distinguish between a plain white, shiny white and sparkle white (totally different, iykyk). I was in and out in about an hour, which is pretty fantastic. Super glad I stumbled on this place and trusted the reviews! Would absolutely go back if I am ever in the area.

They have a nice selection of colors good social distancing good sanitation I would highly recommend this place and the manicure so I want to ensure six days a week my other girls there only on Mondays.
