Chicago Nail Pro is one of the best and most inviting Nail Salons in the city. I've been coming to Esme for years and since she moved to their new location the quality of the experience has only improved. Nelly/Yeli did an incredible job on my Gel Mani/Pedi and took her time during every step of the process. The new location offers free drinks and I had a latte with my Pedicure. The total after was $76 and I tipped as well and was still able to keep everything under $100. I highly recommend Chicago Nail Pro as THE go to Salon for when you're looking to leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and looking your best. read more

Chicago Nail Pro - Gel Mani - DND 878 - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

AVOID THIS PLACE. Expensive! Nasty place! It might look nice from pics but they are unsanitary! I got a bad skin infection that gave me sepsis from coming here! Dirty establishment. DO NOT COME HERE. Plus Esme was very rude and unconcerned when I called with my concerns! There are a lot better nail salons than this one. Theres Western Nail Bar across the street. It's worth the wait! They are busy for a reason. Better service by far read more

EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND GO HERE RIGHT NOW. I Booked an appointment online about 5 days in advance - lots of appointments available, which I love. I've been here twice and each time has been extraordinary! Tony is my guy. His pedicures are immaculate. His attention to detail is so impressive - he takes his time and is so incredibly careful with everything he does. Esme is precious - she'll chat you up as she's taking care of her clients. Not all the techs speak perfect English so if you're looking to be talked to the entire time, this isn't the place. But it doesn't matter, does it? The reason you come to 5 star nail salons is to walk out with stellar nails - and this place never disappoints. The prices are fair for the quality. They never rush. They take their time. They can do everything from a basic full color to intricate designs - anything you show them they can pull off! After trying around 10 different nail salons over the last few years, Chicago Nail Pro is the best in the north side, I'd not the entire city. I think it beats the infamous Old Town Nails by miles. This place will be as busy as Gingerslam soon...make your next appointment here - you WONT be disappointed, I promise! read more

Pros: clean, ambient environment, talented nail techs, offered earlier appointment time Cons: expensive, doesn't feel friendly/welcoming, owner is a bit rude I'm only writIng this review because this was my second time going & it felt just like my first experience, which wasn't good. I decided to give CNP a second chance since it's Latina & Woman-owned, which are two things I value. I made a same day appointment over the phone, which was cool. My appointment was scheduled at 4 & I arrived around 4:02. Upon walking in, I wasn't greeted by a single person. Most didn't even look up to acknowledge me, which felt invalidating. When the owner (Esme I believe) emerged, she very dryly greeted me and asked what my services were. I told her and she started naming off prices, which I didn't ask for. I'd done my research and had been a previous customer, so I knew what I was expected to pay. When I asked her about the nail design (which wasn't complex at all), she gave me an estimate of an additional $60 for the nail design I requested. When I asked her why, she chuckled & responded in a sarcastic way, which I didn't appreciate. Whatevs. She then passed me off to another nail tech (who's phenomenal btw!) and went back to her client (with whom she changed her entire tone for). My actual service was great. My nail tech was Kelis, who did such a beautiful job on my nails (would highly recommend!!!) Unfortunately, that isn't enough for me to want to return after having 2 not-so-good experiences in a row. One thing I really stand strong on is good customer service, especially when providing a service that's intended to make others feel good & confident. I'm hoping this review encourages CNP to reconsider how they interact with all of their customers and not just their clients. read more

This was my second experience with this salon and the only reason I had come back was because I had relatively good experience the first time around. Safe to say I did not feel this way with my recent visit. It's been about 2 weeks and three of my gel-x have already came off. While in the salon I kept getting very rude stares from Esmeralda and felt very uncomfortable. The tech wasn't even doing my nails!! I had also had a other party come with me and I heard her say to the other workers that my friend wasn't allowed which is obviously fine but, then we were never told anything and kept receiving cold glances. Not to mention that I had my appointment scheduled 2 weeks prior and Had to wait 15 minutes after my scheduled time to be seated. This salon will not be getting another penny out of me. read more

I literally drive from the Northshore to come to this Rogers Park Nail Salon! The sisters who own this salon are great! I see Esme for my Gel-X nail extensions. She does an amazing job. My extensions last me close to a months time. For u die hard acrylic girls they also offer that service as well. The nails are available in all shapes & sizes. From square, stiletto, coffin & more. The sisters are well versed in what is currently trending out there. My nails today are a fine example. The famous "Glazed Donut" by Hailey Bieber is so fun. Pedicures and Hair services are also available as well. And what's easier than booking online? Be sure to download Vagaro app and book all services there. Be sure to also check out their Instagram & FB pages for any inspiration you might be looking for your visit! What I enjoy most about this salon is the friendly staff, the customer. service & it's quiet! Half the time I go to a salon and someone is always talking on their phone. I will follow people for great service. These girls do not disappoint. If you're in the Rogers Park area or even a quick ride from Evanston, YOU NEED to check this place out. Tell Esme I sent you. read more

Chicago Nail Pro - Glazed Donut Gel-X Nail Extensions - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So glad I found Chicago Nail Pro! I was coming into town for a week but hadn't been able to see my usual nail folks, so I booked an appt with Lizette for Gel-X over acrylics. This shop is super clean, the techs are nice and professional---I mean, she crushed it. I wish I could go there every month but that's a long flight! read more

Chicago Nail Pro - My amazing acrylic gel x! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Let me start off by saying that this review has nothing to do with the quality of my nails. I am very satisfied with my gel x set and they are beautiful. However, the prices listed on this business's website are deceitful. When I booked my appointment (a very simple set) I requested a short gel x full set with French tip. After booking the appointment my total was presented at $55 for which I paid an $11 deposit, leaving my remaining balance at $44. This price was stated after booking my appointment and paying this deposit. Firstly, my nail technician did not say a word to me the entire appointment. It was pretty awkward and uncomfortable for me. Secondly, while filing my nails, the tech filed my pinky very hard and left a very deep cut that is still burning. After my service I was expecting to pay the remaining balance I was presented on the website ($44), however I was told that I owe $89 after my deposit ($100). My issue is not the price but the fact that I was not aware of this price. Like most people I don't enjoy my money being played with. If they are going to be charging extra it needs to be updated on their website. read more

Never thought I'd get gaslit and blocked on Instagram by a business after being a client for two years. I will say, I only went for special occasions, so maybe 4/5 times a year, but in the beginning I was very happy with the service I got, and how I was educated. I even recommended this place to a couple of their clients, but now apparently I'm not a good enough customer. I tried reaching out to them so I could figure out if they were OK, if something had happened, or if there was anything I did and they ignored my calls, ignored my messages, blocked me on Instagram and I had no idea what I had done. Come to find out from a client of theirs that I was "playing them" because I had gone back three times in the two years to get a nail redone due to it not sustaining its quality for more than a day. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, it's insulting, and a really snobby way to run a business. If they would've told me that they needed me to pay for the repairs I would've been more than happy and understanding of it (even though I had to go back. Not a inconvenience at all ), but the communication at this place is not good and like other reviews have said they are not very personable and they don't talk to you even when you try to make conversation. This place had promise, but unfortunately due to potentially getting a big head as they were expanding due to getting a few more clients they got too big for their bridges, and now can block and deny customers service because they want the quality service that they paid for. Additionally, don't rely on their website policies because even though it says there is a five day guarantee, they don't obviously stay true to that. I wish them well, but if you speak up about your nails and getting what you paid for, don't go to this place because you'll likely get blocked and have your character judged. I've included a picture of their current guarantee policy, but just warning you, if you try to go by their policies, they may not allow you to come back. Let's hope they can reevaluate their policies and attitude. I'll be happy to go to a salon that embraces feedback and people that speak up about quality and desires to get better. read more

I cannot say enough good things about CNP. Esme is professional, talented, and kind. I have been going here for about a year already and I have loved each of my sets. She even remembers my preferences! I trusted her to do my wedding set and she couldn't have done a better job. She was meticulous and took her time and made sure I loved it. She puts so much care and love into her business and it shows. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great nail salon. read more

Esme has given me consistently gorgeous nails for the past few years. My gel manicures last up to two months, and I get compliments all the time. This is especially impressive since I work with my hands a lot. Pricing is very reasonable and since Esme is also both the owner and an instructor, I know she takes cleanliness and safety seriously. read more
