The owner, Tina, has been doing my nails for years! She is excellent. She has been certified to work during COVID-19 and keeps her shop safe and sanitary. Even my 83 year old mom, feels safe enough to go there. As a small business, she really needs your help, so no matter if you want a regular mani, peti, fills, gels, acrylics, no-chip-she's the professional for you! Below is my mani from this weekend! Looks like my own nails, right? They're not! My nails don't grow well and I don't like tips, so Tina extends the gel and makes me natural looking nails-Free-hand! This is our silver/pink French with a touch of sparkle. Thanks, Tina!
I've been to this salon quite a few times, I would say five. It's close to my work and they offer great prices. They prefer not to take credit/debit cards (the transaction fee is pretty expensive which I understand) so I normally pay via Zelle directly to the owner Tina. The first time I came here I was impressed by the service and how carefully Tina shaped and filed my nails. Even using the small drill bit tool around the cuticles to make sure there wasn't any dead skin and the application appeared natural. I came back two weeks later for a mani and I was satisfied, but not impressed. Third time, Tina (the only nail tech licensed for acrylic) was out and when I spoke to her she said her associate would be able to do a gel polish over the top of the acrylic after it was filed down and it would look great. It did not. I spent over an hour getting a mani and pedi and worked up the courage to finally tell them I was unhappy with the application of the gel polish, which should've been clear because it looked awful. Just awful. Bubbled and uneven and she had painted over my cuticles. They removed it with the drill bit and even though Tina was out of the salon due to personal reasons I will not disclose she FaceTimed her daughter and offered to come in to redo my nails. I did not have the time as it was closing in on 6:30 and I had been there for 1 1/2 hours and had dinner plans that same night. So I left with naked hands and a half decent pedicure. I say half decent because the nail tech (same older woman that did my gel manicure) did not scrub the bottoms of my feet and I think she felt embarrassed about the nail situation so she was trying to rush to get me out of there. I had a manicure in between here that was okay, nothing to report. But this last time really upset me. I called ahead as I normally do and told her what I wanted and scheduled a time. Showed up on time and she immediately started on my nails. When removing poly gel Tina was berating me on my naturally already extremely thin nails and it was uncomfortable. I'm sorry I get acrylics to make up for the thinness which in turn makes them more thin, a catch 22. Next time please be gentle and offer a solution for your client. Next, a young woman comes in for a pedicure. She was apparently a few minutes late as she had called ahead about 15 minutes prior saying she would be there in ten and upon arrival the owner said "you told me ten minutes." Then proceeded to mutter under her breath about the woman who had just arrived in front of me. She finished up the application of my acrylic and filed my shape, no filing of the top or cuticle to ensure an even nail shape and sent me over to the pedi chair. This pedicure was actually pretty nice. A good massage and I felt like he did a good job with the bottoms of my feet. Shaped my nails nicely and applied the polish evenly. Tina came over to finish my hands and only ran a buffer over each nail twice. Front and back. Then when they still had the dust on them she applied the polish. I had to ask her to go back to fully coat some nails and reach the sides. My cuticles looked terrible and the shaping is dismal. Uneven surfaces and on my right hand you can see the middle finger has an indentation on the side. It felt very rushed and I walked out feeling disappointed because I'm now on the search for another nail tech since the overall attitude towards customers here is indifference, and at times, even annoyance. I'm attaching pictures of my nails from this last visit.
I thought the nail tech did a good job until I left the salon and looked at my nails in daylight .. yikes. Gave 2 stars because they were able to take me in quickly but will not be returning.
U want the BEST place w comfort & safety in getting ur spa day, we'll head over to BEST NAILS & see Tina! U won't be disappointed.
My moms been going to Tina ever since I was a toddler and now here I am and I've never cheated. There's a reason for that. Tina (the owner) does a phenomenal job, maintains professionalism, and is kind and caring. She's become family and every referral I've sent over feels the same way. If you ever walked in there and were dissatisfied, give it another try, she doesn't disappoint. I'm always happy with her choices (because I can never pick a color) and the quality of her no chip manicures.
I came to Best Nails twice for no chip manicure. First time was fine, second time was the worst. First off, the lady that took my no chip off used her own nails to scrape off the old polish! Then she didn't even clean my nails before putting the new polish on. I've had manicures at other places before and they use cuticle remover to remove my cuticles, and they just make sure my nails are clean and smooth before applying polish. She didn't even let me wash my hands after removing the old polish, so I had a bunch of residue left on my hand. Now I have a bunch of bumps under the nail polish. Really disappointed in this place. She wasn't even busy. She was even just showing me videos on her phone instead of focusing on my nails. Definitely not coming back and do not recommend. **UPDATE** It's only been one day and my nail already chipped
I've been going here for awhile now and Tina always takes care of me... i tell her what i want or the style im thinking of and boom she on it!!! She's funny too! Shes always making me laugh when i'm getting my nails done.
I needed a new local nail place and thanks to YELP I found one! I called to make an appointment and Tina (the owner) scheduled me for a no-chip manicure and pedicure. I walked in and was greeted with smiles. They were super busy but Tina still acknowledged me and asked me to pick a nail polish. There's a huge selection of both OPI and Essie polishes. The lady who did my pedicure was very meticulous and did a fantastic job. A different lady did my no-chip manicure and she was as sweet as pie. The environment is relaxing, the ladies are professional, and I am overall very pleased with how my nails turned out. With all that being said.... Check this place out! :) You won't regret it.
Visiting from Vegas and stopped in here for a quick manicure before a fancy dinner. Kim did my nails and she was so sweet! It took about 35 minutes which was the perfect time... Not too long, but long enough that I didn't feel like she was rushing me. I even asked her to add a glittery top coat and she did! I was also pleasantly happy with the price. Only $12 for the manicure.
I love this place. It is so difficult to find a good, clean nail salon, where you don't get haggled to get more services than what you originally came here for. I got acrylics with an almond meets stiletto shape in mind. Tina did a great job with the length and making it smooth. Tina always does a great job on my nails. I always get compliments. I will continue to go to best nails as long as she is there.
Lady was nice, the shop looked clean, and she was able to fit me in quickly... only issue with my mani pedi was that she never used base coat before putting on the polish. I will have to give an update in the near future to see how long it last and how it affects my nails when the polishes chip off. UPDATE: It been one full week and the nails didn't upkeep.
This is definitely one of Morton Grove's hidden gems. It's hard to find a quality nail salon in the suburbs. Attentive to detail, meticulous, and clean - I walked out 100% happy. I'll be coming again!

Very happy with my gel nails. Tina does a lovely job and works quickly. She strives for perfection and I feel she achieves it. If I can't decide on a color, Tina offers suggestions. Michael does a great job with pedicures. I can honestly say the best pedicure I've ever had. Need to make mention that most of the staff doesn't speak English fluently, but Tina is always available to translate. She wants her clients to be happy and encourages you to ask for her assistance so you get exactly what you want. She's always ready to help. read more

Tina and her team do absolutely amazing work. I constantly get compliments about my nails and they last for longer than other places. They are clean, detailed and provide quality services. They do no-chip, acrylic, gel for hands and great pedicures. They also have waxing services as well. Definitely recommend this place for quality salon services. read more

I had a wonderful experience today. I am not a regular mani/pedi kind of gal, but I decided to try out a place by my house that had good reviews. First of all, the place was cute, clean, and relaxing. Also, the women there were top notch and sweet. I met the owner, Tina, and then had a no chip mani/pedi with Kim. She was outstanding. We had great conversation and she did meticulous work. I am excited to go back in a couple weeks (I already made my next apppointment). I have tried a couple other places in the area and, honestly, there is no comparison. I'm a fan! read more

Literally just got a mani pedi at this place and love it! After going to no joke, 4 other places which turned us down cuz they close at 7pm, my friend and I found this place! We walked in without an appointment at 630 and they were happy to work with us. I had a woman named Ivy who did my nails and she was really nice and took her time with me. Its really clean inside and nice decor! I will definitely be back :) read more
