    Middle finger done by them
    Kristen B.

    So I had a bit of a crisis at the airport lol. I was leaving this morning from ATL and had a layover in Chicago. I got my nails done on Saturday and had a some issues with my luggage and ended up breaking a nail and was so sad. So I got here and came by my sisters place and found this salon nearby. I stopped by quickly to see if they could try and match the nail to the " glazed donut " SNS nails I had with chrome. They got me in right away and fixed it in about 10 minutes! And they did their best to match it exactly with the colors they had. I also had no idea what the references were for the colors I had so he just did it by looking at it! I was really impressed! You can see a very slight bit of sparkle on the one they did but honestly it's not noticeable in real life and only in bright lighting maybe if you looked closely. I'm super happy and so thankful for their speed and skills to match it! Also I was only charged 6$ and they had to remove the other nail, add an extension, ass SNS, add gel polish to match the color and add Chrome!! Highly recommend! They were so nice, I'd definitely come here if I needed to get my nails done again in Chicago!

    Gel X almond medium length with French gel color.

    Excellent service. They were able to fit me in last minute with an appointment on a Saturday morning. I got gel X extensions. Medium length and almond shape. I got a light orange French tip with a nude base. I started with absolutely nothing and no nails. It came out exactly like I wanted. The girl was a perfectionist, and she took her time to make sure everything was perfect. She also was considerate and asked me my opinion the entire way through. I will definitely go back. It took about two hours for everything. The price was decent for gel X nails with design. Only downside which isn't the salons fault is that parking is really hard so plan ahead. It was the same day as the Puerto Rican festival so that could be why western was so packed up, but I would still plan ahead in the future to get a spot.

    Thumb nail fell off

    I'm very disappointed. I decided to come here to get my nails done before going to a wedding in Malibu. I got a dip powder manicure on MONDAY and on WEDNESDAY, two of my nails fell off. I'm going to get a new manicure now. However their customer service was great, they offered me a free dip manicure to fix the issue, So I appreciate that.

    Builder gel full set

    I absolutely love my new set!! Vincent did them and he was very nice with an amazing attention to detail. Salon was clean and the front desk reception was very kind as well. Definitely would recommend!

    This salon is incredible. It is beautifully designed and the owner, Linh, is an amazing and talented nail artist. I don't think I've ever stepped into a nail salon as pristine as this one, it blew my expectations out of the water. I was given the best dip powder manicure I've ever received. Linh is a master at nail art and is incredibly kind and creative. Book an appointment now because it's going to get hard to get an appointment soon!

    The place is phenomenal in a lot of ways but out of nowhere my 60 Dlls fill in set turned 90 dollars? I've been getting acrylics all over the city and have been here before and never had I been charged so much. It wasn't even a design. And it wasn't a full set, it was a fill in. Wow. I've gotten harder designs for 75 Dlls in the same two block radius. Other than that it's a good place to

    My new go to nail salon! Owned and managed by one of the nail technicians, support local business! Reasonable prices for amazing nails. They offer a variety of services and amazing nail art!!

    Excellent service! Was super quick, and the nails are beautiful. I had a nail tech cancel last minute and they were able to fit me in. Building is clean and pretty, staff is nice. Nails look even better than the reference photo/ Would recommend! :)

    This is the only place I come to do my nails and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is nice, the staff is friendly, caring, and listen to your needs. It's always easy to make an appointment!

    Went to this nail salon for the first time on Sunday and loved it!! Super clean and nice - support a local, woman owned business. I got a manicure with gel extensions, they make my fingers look so long and sleek! Can't wait to come back

    This place is so great! Love the nails and they were very attentive! I got acrylics for a trip and they used the reference photo and even added the dots and made it even better.

    Lihn was amazing and she definitely knows how to greet and help customers out. Did my hands and gave me vip treatment made me feel amazing and offered me something to drink. Love my nails and they look great. See you again soon guys!

    I needed my nails done for an October 2024 wedding and found Ipop Central. They had glowing reviews…read moreso I booked an appointment over the phone with owner Mylinh the week of the wedding. MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

    While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.

I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!
