I stopped in here as a walk in because I missed my appointment wirh my regular nail shop. I got a basic pedicure and manicure. The salon was clean and had a peaceful atmosphere. The services itself was what you would expect for basic service. Nothing extraordinary just basic. The prices were reasonable. The pedicure didnt contain anything bur water. No bath salts, fizzy bubbles NOTHING! The nail tech started off by taking her time but as it got closer to closing she began to rush.. Some parts of the service was not consistent. She was going to completely skip the foot massage until I mentioned it. She massaged one foot with oil and the other with lotion. The manicure was wack! It didnt have any thing special in the bowl just warm water and she dropped some.oil in it. I'm use to flower petals, marbles and some kind of creamy cuticle treatment. She left as I was drying, forgetting to put top coat on my nails. I washed my hands too soon and totally ruined the manicure. Thankfully, I'm guessing it was the manager,, she fixed it for me and applied top coat. Overall, a basic experience. Good for a quick walk in but not somewhere I would go again on purpose. read more

The manager at this establishment is racist and rude. My Gel X nails were applied crooked. So much glue applied nails looked ridiculous. He called me stupid and was angry I did not like unacceptable work. The star rating is 0 but I had to add something to post review. i will also post pictures if he he told lady to cut my nails down due to my dissatisfaction. read more

Called ahead for an appointment for a basic pedicure. Female tech handed me a menu and I pointed to the BASIC PEDICURE. She pointed to the one beneath it for $20 more and said, "you do this one". I said no. She asked if I also wanted a mani. Again, I said no. She was NOT happy. Had to ask her to apply an additional coat of polish as it was very sheer. She scowled and said something in Vietnamese to her female coworker. She finished the pedi and said, "you do manicure now?" I said No thank you, again. She said something else in Vietnamese and the next thing I know her coworker is taking pictures of me! I said, why did you just take my picture?! She said, "I no take your picture. I take picture of my coworker". What a bunch of pushy creeps! Couldn't get out of there fast enough and I'll never go back. read more

Got a regular pedicure and a fill in with no chip they charged me 85 dollars I wasn't thinking before I left to question it so if the pedicure was 30 dollars why 85 total 55 dollars for a fill in and the polish chipped off 2 days later never again read more

Had a pedicure on a Wednesday by Saturday toe nails started chipping. Never has a pedicure only last 2-3 days!!

Do not go to this Nail shop, horrible service. I went back 4 times for them to fix my nails. I had to go somewhere else. I put in a dispute because it wasn't worth 56.65 and they refused to refund my money. Do not use this nail shop. read more

Got a 15 minute pedicure a fill and to nails repaired and was charged $97 . A full set and a full pedicure I could see but not for a fill and a slop job. My two nails that were repaired are on a major slant and some nails are thick some thin. Worst job ever and for extreme price. And the toes and nails do not match at all. They claimed it was close but look at pictures decide for yourself. read more

This is actually a three and a half star review I discovered this nail salon by accident when I was actually across the street from it trying to get nail Services which was the very unprofessional place that kept trying to coerce me into get something that I did not want I'm a grown woman I'm capable of making my own decision making when it comes to nail services that I would like and what I am accustomed to they also were a little bit higher in price that clientele was different from myself and that's all I will say about that And that's all they seem to cater to it was my daughter and I did not pay too much attention to us and was almost like we're we're just not even there they didn't care to acknowledge us so we went across the way to City Nails Here is City Nails I've only had two nail technician service me one being Miss Tina she does Nails she does mani pedis pedicures and she also does eyebrow waxing my daughter was very nervous and apprehensive of getting her eyebrows waxed for the first time but Miss Tina did such an excellent job and accentuated her eyebrows she got so many compliments on it it highlighted her face and her eyes were to her best feature and she won't let anyone else touch her eyebrows it must be Miss Tina read more

City Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

I am extremely disappointed i left with tears dropping down my face. I made an appointment for pedicure & nails. I asked for the last picture that was on their google reviews. ( Last photo on my review) My first time here Big Mistake! I thought I was sincerely playing it safe just because I chose a picture of nails they were familiar with from the past. I believe I had Kathy that was the name on her station. My nails were bulky from the top part of the cuticle. Bulky & curved looked nothing like what I asked for. When I asked for it to get fixed she was trying to proceed in putting clear coat. I was told that the original picture only looked as if it were not bulky because it was just a picture. You can clearly see the difference. The only thing I changed was the color pink to nude. Until they realized I got emotional. I just wanted my nails to look beautiful for my wedding. I was given a card with the name Andy for "next time " And proceeded to charge me $60 for nails that weren't what I asked for. My pedicure was the princess package. I did a white no chip. Payed $60 And left her a $20 tip she did a decent job with my feet. I WILL NOT PAY 60 DOLLARS FOR NAILS THAT DO NOT COME CLOSE TO WHAT I EVEN ASKED FOR. That RIDICULOUS. I had to clip them off before leaving as if I was really going to keep them on. Acrylic was everywhere on my nail she hid it with putting oil over them. I'm such an understanding person if she didn't know how to do that style they could've let me know so I could change what I was asking for. Wasted my time. read more

I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE A 0-STAR RATING. RIDICULOUSLY PRICEY. Absolutely horrible job the technician did on my nails, his technique to apply acrylic was horrible, he literally just patted it on to my nail and my whole finger for that matter. The application of the nail glue to the nails was horrible as well, he didn't bother checking to see if my skin had adhered to the glue, the technician seemed to be in a hurry to leave somewhere else, the service was just horrible. The whole time he kept having trouble with his drill, they didn't have the colors I had originally picked out, NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY GOING HERE. This place doesn't even have sinks for you to rinse your hands out afterwards. A WASTE OF MONEY. I paid $48 for this garbage. I've paid 35 dollars for a full no chip set before at other locations, never going back. read more

My regular salon was too busy to take me so I tried something new. I wasn't disappointed. On the recommendation of the tech I tried dip nails and they were good. Came back a second time and got my nails done and eyebrows waxed. girl was good and quick. I will be returning instead of my old place. read more

If you love to get pampered (I.e massaged while getting your nails done) this is not the place to come! Came by for a pedicure and manicure with a friend. We decided to try this place because we heard you can have wine/beer/beverages while getting your nails done which we originally wanted to do to get our girls night out started but opted not to last minute since we needed to eat dinner first. Saw plenty of others ordering drinks from the wine bar next door. I opted for the Princess Pedicure and the service was mediocre. The cost was $35 for a princess pedicure and the lady that did my toes was not into it at all. She didn't attempt to "massage me" which is what I look forward to most when getting my nails done. I had to ask her to trim my cuticles and scrape the bottom of my feet. All she really dId was rub lotion/oil in my feet legs. At the end she didn't even apply a top coat. So when it was time for the manicure I asked for someone else. Hoping for a much better experience, I was bummed to experience the same service. The lady that did my manicure did not paint my nails evenly. And I can see where the top coat ends on the side of my nails. This was my first time here...and definitely also my last. read more

Was in the area and decided to give this shop a try, my review is for a full set of no chip and shape --$53 total WITHOUT pedi or cuticles trimmed. Pros: Little to no wait. Cons: There is no menu posted so I had to ask the price for each service. Sink was clogged so I had to rinse my hands off at an empty pedi station. Had to ask for standard hand massage and lotion after my polish was dry. Signs are posted everywhere on the wall asking for tip (very tacky btw). Final thought: Wayyy overpriced for a mediocre experience. If this was a spa, ok fair game, but this is a hole in the wall. No chips are $28-35 in Chicago and $55 with pedi. I paid $53 and pedi/manicure wasn't included. I got shafted. I have an air pocket in my thumbnail, I'll be returning to have it fixed...after that I'm done w them. BYE! read more

City Nails - Air pocket?! Not worth $53... - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Lawn, Illinois

A nice salon. Not a Hollywood-looking salon, but not a hole in the wall salon either. They did have a towel on the floor by the register counter for the snow, looked tacky but not the end of the world. First visit. Emily was great! I got the Princess Pedicure, very worth the $35. The warmed salt massage with the wax soak made my feet feel great! I tried the dip powder for the first time and loved it. They tried to find a color to match my toes and if I could tell they cared. Second visit. It was PACKED. But I love how they always have enough workers. 10+ to make sure your wait isn't long. I had a mishap w a dip powder color because the powder did not match the display. However, the nail tech (didn't catch her name) made me feel like it was my fault for picking the color. But the powder formula was wrong. Raymond (the manager I think) tried to help me out and start the job all over. However I had to ask for a discount for my inconvenience, he eventually agreed. I was in a rush and could not wait for to start all over. So I just came back the next day to get them redone and my nails were flawless. I loved them. Will keep coming back but with caution. Some of the staff, I'm not sure about. But Raymond was nice and Emily was great! read more

This is my new nail home! There are only a few people in south Chicagoland that are true nail artists, and Andy is one of them. Although he can do anything, his speciality is all powder and no chip designs. They have so many beautiful foils and crystals to choose from, not to mention colors and glitters, I was like a kid in a candy store eyeballing everything. Take it from me, it is really hard to find a good nail artist, because it is a more than a skill, it's a talent! You will not be disappointed. They have flexible hours and work hard to make sure your nails are perfect! read more

I never usually have a problem here but I waited an hour for my pedicure that I never even got to enjoy. My feet say soaking in water for 45 minutes and at that point I was just done. so much for having a relaxing Sunday. My feet look worse than they did when I walked in because they left me soaking for so long. read more

Loved loved this place very convenient close to work. Went in one day no appointment and was waiting for a bit. Place was empty but short staff at the moment. One lady took me but then moved me because her appointment came in. Okay so next time I made an appointment waited for almost half an hour. But was not disappointed in my nails. So next time made another appointment same thing waited over 40 mins. So why make an appointment and have to wait. But yet when I went in the one time I was bumped because their client who had an appointment came in ?? And it's not like they don't know me I go in there all the time for pedicures and nails took my daughters there too. I know my review won't make a difference they'll still make their money. I tip well and friendly with all staff. Just disappointed now I have to find a new place. read more

Do not get your nails done here! The place was so dirty- there were ants everywhere. It didn't look like their equipment was sterilized or cleaned. The man who did my nails did such a horrible job- it looked like a 5 year old did them. I asked him to fix them and he didn't. There was still dirt underneath my nails and when I told him he blankly starred at me and didn't do a thing. I also went with 2 friends and they wouldn't let us sit together. Not accommodating at all to their customers. I was very disappointed as were the 2 girls I was with. 100% will not go back. I wish I could give 0 stars. read more

One of my coworkers recommended city nails and I tried it out after work and I wasn't disappointed great work and plenty of women recommended me to paint my toes blue but I went with the clear coat. Thanks for a great job!! read more

Experience was not good. I've never been here. Stopped in because my normal shop was closed. It was emergency so I thought. I was greeted well I explain I have one nail lifting and wanted it repaired so I guess the worker misunderstood and took me in right away when I said I only wanted one nail fixed he said oh sit and wait. After having file up to high and cutting it for whatever reason . I explained these are my nails with gel overlay. Terrible Kevin is the name read more

No stars would be given if possible. If you have time to be at a nail salon for 4+ hours this is the place for you. Came in for a manicure and pedicure and the pedicure was done so terribly I left without getting a manicure. read more

My son and I are visiting for Atlanta. We wanted to get pedicures and get him a manicure and for me a no chip. I was driving pass and called, made an appointment for the same day. OMG, Kevin was amazing. I felt comfortable and he took his time with my pedicure and my no chip. Prices are reasonable. We are relocating to Illinois in July and this will be my place. Go see Kevin, you will not regret it. read more

Do NOT go here. My husband set up a nail day for me, one of my best friends, and my sisters as a gift for me and it was absolutely TERRIBLE! The lady who gave me my pedicure was SO rude. Then I got a no chip acrylic mani with coffin shaped nails and each of my nails are different shapes and the polish has bubbles all in them. My left thumb nail is so messed up it looks like a wave at the point and it's completely crooked. My husband paid $240 for all of this and none of us were happy with our nails. I will definitely never be going there again! Very disappointed with the service and quality. read more

I've been going to City Nails for over 10 years and always pleased with the service and special care given to me by Kevin (my artist). I initially started with the pink and white nails now I'm really into the "dip". My only complaint is many times I can't match my nail polish with my toe polish...I might switch and try the "no chip" which has a larger selection of polishes. City Nails is the place to go for your nails you won't be sorry and the price is right...don't forget to ask for Kevin. read more

STAY AWAY from this place! No chip polishes are very low quality and none of the no chip swatches matched the actual color so I kept having to change my color with major attitude from the employee. Kelly did both my sisters nails and she was extremely rude... both of them left with bleeding cuticles and uneven nails. I picked this place based on google reviews and realized they definitely paid for positive reviews because not only did I have a bad experience several people around my had to complain as well. Very disappointed. There are so many nail places within the mile so I would definitely go elsewhere. Bad service & very bad at simple no chip polish. Update -- One week into my no chip, literally every single nail is lifted from bottom and top. They looks horrible and I usually am able to keep my no chip for at least 3-4 weeks if I need to. Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I used to get my nails done here frequently and I remembered them being good... the pedicures were nice. I got paraffin and my husband got hot stones. Wer got hot wraps around our necks. They were quite relaxing. Our manicures were a joke. My husband was done so fast and mine took forever... and they didn't even cut my cuticles. You can see the tips on my nails but after almost two weeks they haven't really chipped so the no chip part was good for me... I was there with a group and we spent a few hundred dollars... I guess I expected more for how much we spent. read more

I used to come here at least once a month with Ari. I stopped coming because of covid for a few months and oh boy!! I regret not calling to make an appt with Ari. I went in and This lady by the name of Tina did my pedicure, she came with a mini basket with bunch of tools that made me a little uncomfortable. I'm used to seeing the tools in a sterilization pouch. She rushed my pedicure, maybe because there was a few other people waiting for pedicures. I saw her going to the back with the basket of tools and 1 minute later she came right back with the same basket, to do someone else's feet. That is disgusting!!! Not to mention she told me to ask for her next time!' Absolutely not!!! If I come back I will make sure Ari is here!! read more

I love this place. I go in once a month with Ariana for my no chip. Every month when I go in for my appointment besides the growth my polish still looks perfect. I always come in with my picture of what I want and she always makes it happen. I always get compliments on my nails . Give this place a try you won't be disappointed. Ask for Ariana! read more

I went there on Monday for pedicure and no chip manicure because I was leaving for Florida Saturday I thought I would give this place a try big mistake he did a horrible job he didn't even do my cuticles and my no chip manicure started pealing off 3 days after I don't mind paying 58 dollars but at least do a good job horrible place I would never go back there read more

I don't think I'll be going back. Went in for a full set and pedicure on a Sunday around 11. The good: the wait was very short. Plenty of staff to accommodate. The pedicure was good. Chairs are really good. Color selection was plentiful. Apparently you can get alcohol from the wine bar next door and bring it in. They speak good English so there isn't a lot of communication breakdown. The bad: my almond shape ended up coffin. They're crooked and complete inconsistent as far as nail width. I was overcharged $5 for no apparent reason. read more

This place is ridiculous. I went in last month for a dip manicure. Within one day, the dip had broken on a nail, so I went back. Because the person who did my nails the day before wasn't there, someone else was assigned to fix it. She literally put glue on it and a top coat. The following day the began to chip and peel and crack. I was out of state for the following 10 days so had to get it fixed, yet again, this time at another salon. On Sunday, I went for another dip. Within 2 days 9/10 nails were cracked throughout and the top coat on several was bubbling and chipping. The salon was closed on Monday, so Tuesday I called and they told me the person who did them was out of town. I asked if anyone else could redo them and was told "well, nobody will want to do that." I was told to wait until Friday when the original person would be back. Just called again and was told that she was still out of town until now, Sunday. I explained that I had already been 6 days now with completely horrible nails and could not wait for her to come back from vacation and asked if someone else would do it. I was told simply that no one would do it for free. I then asked if I could just have my money back so that I could go somewhere else and have them fixed and was told that that wasn't an option. If you don't do something right, you fix it. If your employees don't do something right, you take responsibility and you fix it. Not that they care at all, but they lost a customer today. read more

THE WORST PLACE. DO NOT GO HERE. I went in for a no chip and the lady that sat me down was rude and had an attitude. She pulled the nail tools out of her drawer that were CLEARLY NOT SANITIZED. I politely asked her if she could get a new pack of tools. And she said "they're fine" I asked again politely and said I would like a new set of nail tools. She was clearly annoyed and rolled her eyes.And took a water bottle and barely sprayed the tools. I got up and told her I was gnna go somewhere else. She then tried to say " okay fine I'll get u new tools" but it was too late . How completely disgusting and unsanitary. The young man at the front did apologize for her behavior which I appreciated. Definitely will NOT be going back here and I would never recommend anyone else to go here. read more

Racist. I had been waiting an hour and they took 3, yes 3, WHITE women before me. Black people need to stop patronizing these racist Asian nail salons. They do not like or respect us so give them the same. I'll do my nails at home or find a respectable, service oriented business. read more

Honestly, the worst no chip I have ever had! I received a gift certificate here and that's the only reason I came. This was my second time and I will never go back again. The woman was rushing and extremely rough to the point where I was bleeding. The paint job was terrible, leaving a thin line unpainted. Then when I got home, I realized she never put a top coat on my thumb. Safe yourself frustration and time, do not go here. Valley Nails down the street is way better. read more

I use to really like this place, but they have really started to go down. They treat you more like a number than a customer. I recently went in last Thursday for a dip with a design. It seems that only one person in the entire salon knows how to do designs on nails *eye roll*. I showed a picture of the nails I wanted and he immediately starts rushing through my nails he shook his towel in front of him instead of changing it, pushed my cuticles back, and just started the base coat of the dip... The nails looked NOTHING like the picture so I ask him to stop and make them all one color. I was asked if I wanted a pedicure and when I said no they asked why not. Very pushy. A day later two nails were already chipping. Here we are a week later and one nails has cracked and fallen off. $50 for nails that didn't even last a week. UNACCEPTABLE. The nail salon is no longer cleaned regularly and nail techs are rushing through your service. I only like one nail tech and she is only there on the weekends, everyone else treats you like a object or a number. Not to mention the time prior to this last time I went the nail tech was tasked to remove a full set, when she was done my nails were weak, hurting, and she left some of the acrylic on my nails. I'm fed up and will not be returning to a once nice, clean shop. Also, they charge you to use your debit/credit card. read more

Dirty. Bad customer service. Rude employees. Rushed services. I wont make the mistake of going there again.

AVOID IT !! Kelly did my pedicure and it was awful. I pointed out a mistake with my polish and she started throwing things. She put on my flip flops immediately AFTER polishing and messed up 2 nails. The massage was horrible, she poured a bunch of oil on my legs and barely touched them. I told the guy she had a bad attitude and he said, "I know. I'm going to talk to her later." I hate not tipping but there was no way I was going to. Plus, I'm sure this paint job won't even last a week. read more

She sends me on my way.my eyebrows weren't looking special.no one noticed I had got them done but the real horror story was my upper lip.bumpzilla!!! It got irritated then I started feeling the bumps then the next day the bumps were clearly vissible.
