I visited this nail shop for the second time ever yesterday. My daughter lives in Champaign and the…read morelast time we came was in February of this year to get pedicures for her birthday. We both thought they did a great job and our pedicures lasted a long time. Unfortunately when I came by myself yesterday, I had a very different experience. I called ahead to reserve an appointment at 4pm just to be safe. The gentleman who worked there answered my call and just agreed to my appointment time and was about to hang up, I said don't you want my name? He said what's your name? I told him, and he said ok see you at 4. When I arrived at the nail shop the man who answered the phone was at the first nail desk closest to the door working on a customer. There were two other women nail techs working on customers who just looked at me as I walked in. No greeting. The man didn't look up and said "can I help you?" I responded saying I have a 4pm pedicure appointment. He said "ok pick your color" never looking at me once. I picked my color and took a seat. I did not wait long before one of the ladies came to get me. I do not have much to comment on related to her pedicure on my feet. She didn't ask me if I wanted my toenails cut which usually is common practice, but other than that, the pedicure was pretty standard. She made some errors with paint on my skin but cleaned it up and the finished product is fine. She made no conversation whatsoever, though I cannot confirm or deny whether or not that was due to her limited English because I only heard her speak another language. The disturbing part of this visit was the conversation between a white woman and one of the nail techs right next to me. That nail tech was definitely trying to keep up conversation with the white woman and at at one point the white woman mentioned that she didn't realize she had this coming Thursday off. (Due to Juneteenth) The nail tech, who is an Asian woman, asked what's the holiday, the white woman fumbled for an answer and ultimately googled to find out what the holiday was and what it represented. The Asian woman asked "are you getting paid for the holiday?" The white woman said yes. And the nail tech responded "well as long as you're getting paid who cares that's great enjoy yourself!" As a Black woman who is literally sitting in the chair right next to them as they had this conversation- and NO ONE had the self awareness to recognize how deeply offensive that exchange was!! #1 for both of these women, one of whom is of a marginalized identity, to be oblivious to WHAT Juneteenth is, is disgraceful. #2 after they both "learned" that the holiday was about the eradication of the enslavement of Black people, and then to say "who cares as long as you're getting paid" is the most disrespectful and disgusting thing a fellow woman of color could possibly say. And to say it in front of a Black woman. Her deep need for white acceptance made her oblivious to how terribly ignorant she looks. I hope she reads this review and I hope she understands she has betrayed herself and her sister in this world. I do not recommend this business to anyone, but especially not for any people of color as they clearly have no respect or desire for our patronage. There are plenty of other options and I hope this business reaps the karma it is sowing.

Because the pain was so intense I went to Christie Clinic and saw Dr Okyne who ordered tests. By Saturday July 12 my whole foot was swollen and red and hot so I went to Christie Convenient Care where I saw Dr Johnston who told me I had a serious infection called Cellulitis. He prescribed a ten day antibiotic (Augmentin). I am convinced that the source of this infection is the pedicure at Angel Nails in the Meijer store on North Prospect. Also, they did a terrible mani/pedi on my husband. The tech cut his toe nails so short that they bled when he took his walk the morning after.

I was seated for my pedi and I felt like the process was rushed. When I asked about the pricing, she talked to me in a rude way like I was asking too many questions. She barely put on the polish right to my satisfaction. When it was time to for my mani, I ended up getting the full set because regular mani was $45 and gel was $50. The guy that did my hands seemed to be rushing as well and cut my skin using the file board He did't ask if I wanted my actual nails cut and it was too late before I could say anything. I was not too happy with this visit.

First, location is close to campus, with a small parking lot, and the first thing I saw when walking up was an unhoused person sleeping on the sidewalk. Because the business has windows in the front and chairs right by those windows, it was just a little uncomfortable. I made an appointment online for 3:45, but my Regular Pedicure took until 5:15! Another girl came in after me and we were done at like the same time- did I get the slow guy? Price can't be beat- there is a small fee if you use credit card, so, bring cash. And the pedicure itself was well done! My regular pedicure was $30 and included a scrub, lotion, hot towel, and I was sitting in a massage chair, so, relaxing. Overall, the pros are price and a good pedicure. Cons were timing and vibe.

The store was pretty busy so I'm not bothered by that. When we were finally sat, the guy doing my nails started doing his thing. I asked for gel extensions ( which they say they have on their website ) and he gave me acrylics. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to upset anyone and I wasn't going to have these nails on for long. I just needed them for a trip I was going on. He was very aggressive with the drill. My nail beds are sore from the aggressiveness. I showed him a picture of what I want and he gave me french tips in white with a blooming gel flower. They're cute but not at all what I asked for and they're a little uneven. My friend was stuck with the tech that was running around doing 4 people's nails. As soon as I was done after an hour of getting my nails done she only had her tips on. She also wanted gel extensions but got acrylic. He was doing the beads very fast and sloppily. Her nails ended up being very cute and she's very hot with hers. While she was getting her nails done he was answering phone calls on speaker and hanging up on people. He seemed very irritated. Our nails cost about $80-$85 each. When we came in before we were seated we were waiting in the chairs and a lady who had been there for an hour already even though she had scheduled an appointment had not been seated yet. She ended up being seated after my friend and I. They do not care about appointment whatsoever. I will most likely never come back here. The only reason this place is rated 5 stars is because he forces people to rate it 5. He took my phone from my hand and put in a review with 5 stars on TWO of my emails. He was going thru my phone basically. It was actually insane and I was very uncomfortable. My friends phone died so he used mine for both of ours. I deleted all the reviews he put up. I'm putting pictures of what I asked for and what I got.

For starters just for my fill it was $50, and my friends was $80! For very simple designs. Secondly, she cut me, yanked my arm, told me it was my fault I scuffed my nail when the lady is aggressively pulling me every which way. How is that my fault? She gave me "advice" on how I should hold my hand and I just was in shock. The nails look nothing like I asked for. I wanted to keep the oval shape but everything is big and bulky, color everywhere. I didn't want to be rude to the people so I bit the money and left. You can find better business somewhere else for cheaper. I will now be doing my own nails and covering up whatever this is.
