    Hard gel manicure
    Rachel H.

    I came in on a Sunday early afternoon with an appointment, and was seen right away. The pedicure was amazing, and I didn't quite catch his name but he made sure everything was good during the entire pedicure. And Ms Lynn who did my manicure was so good and professional. I didn't realize they do hard gel, which I was pleasantly surprised. It's as sturdy as dip without the heaviness of the layers. The music was loud enough to hear but not too loud so you can still hear conversations. I cannot wait to come back when I'm in the area visit family!

    Love this establishment! Friendly competent staff and mgmt. Lynn is fantastic, new tech Dorothy is great too Recommend highly. Fun relaxing peaceful atmosphere. My favorite spa!

    Very nice and friendly environment. I scheduled an appointment for a full set and was greeted and given a book of colors. Peter did my nails and I'm not thrilled with the results. It felt very rushed. I asked for this design and it was fine. Not the best, but I understand how detailed it is. I'm more upset that these photos are taken 3 days after my appointment. Peter did not put the top coat over all my nails, and he got glue in my fingers that is now stuck. The French tip is cute but I'm upset with the inconsistency :((

    I went in to CE Nail Spa for the first time after trying many places around the area. I wanted a full set of acrylics done so I made an appointment. When I arrived I was seated right away. I had Tony as my nail tech. He is one of the best i've ever had. He was very personable and listened to what I wanted done to my nails. He made sure I was happy with them frequently. I will definitely be coming back for Tony!

    I hadn't had a full set in over 5 years as the last time I had them done I was cut pretty badly. I expressed my concern and fear of being cut to my nail tech Lynn-- who happened to be the salon owner-- and she immediately put me at ease. She took her time and was cautious without making me feel like I was an inconvenience. The shape was exactly what I wanted and the color was flawless. It's been 2 weeks since I had my nails done and they are showing normal wear, but holding up beautifully. The salon is clean, bright and inviting. I can't wait to go back for my fill! Thank you Lynn for providing incredible customer service and making me feel like you actually care. UPDATE AFTER FILL: I will never return to this place. My pointer finger acrylic had popped off prior to my fill so I had to have the entire nail replaced (not a big deal). That same nail that I had replaced just popped off again and my natural nail underneath is brownish green. I reached out to an out of state nail tech friend and was told this is due to either dirty tools being used, moisture being trapped between the natural nail and acrylic, or poor prep. Any of those reasons are a reason to not go back here. Very disappointed.

    I really wanted to like this place but it desperately needs to be cleaned. It was probably the…read moredirtiest nail salon I've ever been to and I really really don't want to say this, but I have to be honest, it smelled real funky in there. The staff was literally so sweet, so kind, treated my grandma so gently. So patient. They did sincerely wonderful work. But everything needs to be DEEP cleaned in there. I will be keeping an eye out for other peoples reviews to see if the cleanliness improves and if it does I'll come back for another service and consider changing my review.

    I made an appointment here after reading so many praises on a local Facebook group. I made this…read moreappt with Tony for a dip manicure and a pedi. I called several hours before the appt to inquire if I could add on an eyebrow wax. I was told "yes, just come in half an hour early". So I did. When I came in, I told them I had an appointment with Tony and I reminded them that had said it was fine to add on a wax. I was told to sit for my mani. Not with Tony btw. I told the man I wanted a silver mirror style dip but did not want to use the nail UV lamp. He told me that was fine but they didn't carry the mirror polish and showed me my options. It came pretty close so that was fine. The UV lamp was used the entire appointment. I just kept quiet. My cuticles were never touched and the polish does not go all the way down to my nail bed. I didn't even realize my cuticles weren't touched until I got home, washed the oil off my hands and really saw my nails. When my mani was done, I was told to go to the wax room where I stood there and waited for almost 15 minutes. It was around this time I was asked, no less then five times, if I had an appointment. Weird. WHY have an appointment portal on your website if you don't look at it? I wasn't asked one time for my name, what my appt was for and for what time. When you walk in, they either know you and what you want or ask and then tell you to sit and wait. The eyebrow wax was fine. Not bad, not great. However I had no privacy. People who were getting pedicures watched me the whole time. In 30 years of getting my eyebrows waxed, I have always had a private room with the door closed. Also, the room was filthy. The whole place is filthy. I do not believe for a minute, that the sterile techniques here are true and accurate, according to legal standards. User beware. The pedicure was fine. Again, NOT with Tony btw. I asked them to explain the highest cost procedure that includes: "Unique feet soak in the detox crystals in a CBD volcano eruption." I never understood the answer. I will not be back. Not only did they not know I had a reservation, I was questioned multiple times about it during my appointment. I did not see who I had made the appointment with. The place is filthy. If I wasn't leaving for my vaca early the next morning, I would left. The whole check out procedure is weird, wanting me to use Zelle. Which was a whole issue itself and ended up not working for me. I will say the place was packed. People coming and going the whole time I was there. They must be good at acrylics, with Tony apparently. I don't do those however.

    QT Nails & Spa is one of the best nail salons in McHenry. Originally I started going because they…read morewere open on Sundays which was rare, and I have been going faithfully for over 6 years now. All of the staff is amazing, they're all so kind and skilled at what they do. Each person has their own skill set so it might take you a few times to figure out who can help you the best, but you will definitely leave very happy with your nails. Everyone is very willing to help each other, you will often see the nail techs rotating stations on the busy days to help each other out and it shows how much they care about their customers, they're all trying to make sure everyone is getting a good service. They truly do care that the customers are happy, if you're not satisfied with something or if something breaks, you should always speak up or return to get it fixed, they are always willing to fix something to make sure you're happy. They are all human though and sometimes the salon can get busy but they try to take walk ins as much as possible, and even if it's busy, they at least try to get your feet soaking or your hands wrapped and let you know they'll be with you soon. Dana, the owner, is so talented at what she does, her designs are amazing. If you find a picture of something that you want, you can bring it in and show it to your nail tech and they'll do their best to recreate it for you, and if they can't personally do the design, they'll have another tech come and help just to make sure you get the design that you want. Dana and her sister Queen are constantly keeping up with social media to follow all of the latest trends for nail art and always buying new supplies to make sure they can do the newest designs. They can free style designs on your nails, they've got foils and stickers, a ton of different glitter and cat eye options, air brushing techniques and they'll even mix different elements to get you the perfect color. The color selection is INSANE, they have so much to choose from for no chip and dip, you're instantly provided numerous books of color to choose from and then the techs will get the bottles for you so you don't have to search along the walls. Pedicures here are also top notch, they recently got all new chairs for the pedicure area, including themed chairs for kids. The new chairs have so many massage options and a heat option. They've recently added new pedicure packages so that customers can have a spa-like experience for their feet. All of the prices per packages are listed right away so there's no secret charges which is super important. You're presented with a list of all the packages and allowed to choose, and even after choosing your package, you're then given multiple scents to choose from to make sure you're getting the best experience. QT Nails & Spa is very active on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. They're always posting videos to showcase the unique nails that customers are requesting to provide inspiration for others. I recommend QT Nails & Spa to everyone, it's the only place I'll go to even after moving.

    Saw mixed reviews & gave it shot…read more Called & made 4:30 weekday appointment. They were able to fit me in for a no chip manicure & standard pedicure. It was easy to communicate & they were prepared when I arrived for my appointment. It is a very clean salon, which I've learned isn't easy to find in McHenry. They take pride in their place & it shows. Staff was nice & made you their focus which is always nice. No chip manicure - I went with French. Good job. I struggle to hav nail growth. I did feel like it was a rushed job, but it's been almost a week & they are doing well. My cuticles always need work & I am not that satisfied with how they look 5 days later. Standard pedicure - it was just that. No frills, but in a good way. They were mindful of water temp & your comfort. I asked for them to pick color since they know what looks best & is popular. Happy with the color. Nail shaping & cuticle's could have received more attention, but in no way was it a bad job. Also, probably needed color applied 3x vs 1. My heels are actually soft & they did very thorough pumice work. Many salons have drastically increased prices & its well over $100 for a mani & pedi which is why I hadn't been going as often as usual. Pricing here was very fair & what I think is reasonable: $65-70 No Chip $35 French Tip $5 Standard Pedicure $30 Customers were all also "kind" atmosphere & it wasn't a loud TV overly gossipy & judgy culture which is also great. Will definitely go back to find my person & hope to get consistency.
