***ETA The owner promptly replied to me and I will be working with him tomorrow to fix my nails. That's the professional way to handle things and I appreciate William reaching out. I'll update after my fix up*** I went in on a Monday for a no chip mani and no chip pedi. I scheduled with Michelle. When I got there there were 2 employees who seemed brand new. One did pedicure which has been fine. However, by Saturday my nails were chipping. Steven did my nails. I've left messages and no reply. Now I'm in need of a new no chip mani. For $90 before tip my no chip should last me at least 2 weeks. Do not recommend. Two stars in my because my toes still look nice. read more

If you are looking for a nail tech who is a master of their craft, William is the one you need to see! He is beyond talented, quick, efficient and friendly! I have never been able to get many designs at all on my nails due to the short length and the size (my nails and hands are fairly small). When I showed him my inspiration picture I was expecting a response similar to all the others I've received in the past, or an "I can do something similar" at best. To my surprise, he said without hesitation he could do it with no problem. I have never been more impressed! The base of the nail itself, fantastic. The application of the dip itself was great as well! The salon itself is clean, bright and well taken care of. The music was lovely (Christmas music) and the rest of the staff seemed very kind and welcoming. I highly recommend William and Creative Nails as a first time customer and will most definitely be coming back again! read more

Customer Service: I made an appointment ahead of time and still was waited (this was an hour before they closed) they had way more people for it to close on time. I waited for a bit and had to ask when my service was going to be done and then that's when my appointment began. So I would suggest speaking up a bit if you made a reservation ahead instead of the other walk-ins going before you. Atmosphere: They were all very nice and seemed like everyone was a regular customer based on the conversations. It was very comfy and welcoming except, maybe it was only that day,but it was very hot and humid in there. Other than that everything looked decently clean. Nails: My nails look absolutely amazing! I had a better experience here than some other "fancier" places. It did took a bit for them to get done based on the wait, the busy time, and my nail prep. She didn't seem to know how to get off my previous nails. I believe my whole appointment was 2 hours just for a removal and full set of a simple shape and color. I did have to ask for very specific needs: make sure the cuticle is cleaned up and smooth around, make them even, file a bit more to match the shape, etc. But she was very nice and listened to my feedback, while some other places could give you rudeness or arrogance. Cost: It was a bit pricier than I would hope, I think some other places would've charged more or less. I paid $65 not including the tip I gave. I would think these would be 45-55$ price range so hopefully the price go more down. Durability: A tiny corner of my nail did chip right away while I was trying to remove something. I'm used to my nails lasting 1month+ for acrylics so hopefully these pull through! If they do last long I will definitely come back! :) read more

Only gave two stars cause Will is nice. I asked for dip, instead I received acrylic overlay. This is not at all what i wanted. He created a strange chicklet looking shape. It looks SO strange cause it's completely flat and square. Theres no natural curve to the nail. I wanted natural looking nails. The longer nude nails is what he gave me, the pink nude and maroons pics are how my short natural nails look with no chip, and the nude almond is my natural nails with dip (no extension). Im honestly flabbergasted with how terrible these look. My nail beds some how look very short, they are SO square and flat, fanned out and look so terrible and unnatural. I paid $60 with $10 tip and next week I'm gonna go to my usual place and get them removed. Very very disappointed. read more

I love this place. They might answer the phone pretty impatiently but they're very straight forward and quick. This set is a simple pink / nude dip powder set. Cost $48 so it's pretty decent. I had a young girl about the age of 22-25 so my nails and she was very nice & talkative. My nail appointment lasted exactly one hour. I highly recommend this place. read more

Will was very thorough and checked in with me throughout the whole process to make sure I liked my nails. I'll definitely be returning

Their volcano nails pedicure was the best pedicure I've ever had and I've tried dozens of spas throughout the suburbs and in Chicago. The owner and her best friend did our wedding pedicures and they were so funny and sweet. I would go out of my way to make an appointment here when I'm in the area because it was phenomenal!!!!!!! read more

I really liked my nails but during filling my nail one of the employee kathy cut every finger with the nail file, i let her know she cut me she did not respond.The vibe was okay she was very friendly made small talk, but it was pretty awkward. read more

Love love love this place. I make the 45 minute drive (with my baby) because they are that good. William is amazing always does an awesome job on my naiLs, I can show him any picture and he does not disappoint. I have tried so many places closer to home but they either cannot do what I want or it doesn't last more than 2 weeks. I have gone 5 weeks in between appointments and my nails still look perfect (minus outgrowth) could not recommend a better place. Clean facility and everyone is super nice. read more

The negative reviews you see here are from the previous owners. I followed William here a month ago when his sister took over the business. I would follow him to the ends of the earth. Today is my second time back, and I got a Volcano Pedicure along with my fill. Michelle did it, and it was so wonderful! The massage was epic and the CBD infused line of products felt amazing. You need to give this place a try. read more

I recently moved to the Carpentersville area. We got so lucky with this place being right around the corner from our place. Katie, the owner, really takes great care of me and my specifications when it comes to my nails. Highly recommended! read more

It was a good introduction to the studio. I only wish I could've sat next to my friend during my manicure so we could catch up with our limited time, and since it was as her bday, but the staff was polite and cordial. I plan to return for a full treatment ManiPedi in a couple of weeks. read more

The owner truc was extremely unprofessional and rude to my mother, whilst also using belittling and racist remarks. On top of that, my moms nails started coming off after TWO days. Would definitely not recommend. read more

I have been a client at this nail shop for years.... I live in Schaumburg and began doing my nails when the shop was first located in Arlington Heights. I was so happy with the services that owners, Truc and Andrew have provided that I am now driving down to Carpentersville every two weeks without hesitation. I would recommend this salon to my friends and family! read more

My go to nail salon! Andrew never disappoints! Highly recommend to make appointment ahead of time.

MY GEL NAILS ARE FEELING OFF it has been a week worst service on top of it I wanted a design on my nails and the guy was like no pick a solid color design is too time consuming. I normally go to love nails in Algonquin but they're closed on Monday's. GO TO LOVE NAILS ITS 10 min farther and they do amazing and the ladies are amazing with your nails read more

Went there for first time and had a French no chip done, $30 is fair but it chipped in 3 days, I always give a place a second chance, big mistake! Did a pink color for 2nd time on Wednesday, Saturday my nails had cracked, split and chipped on all corners. Horrible. I called to let them know and ask if they guaranteed their no chip manicure, whoever answered had the audacity to say 'We don't make the polish, so no. You should take better care of your nails'. REALLY unfortunate that they would treat customers this way. Many places guarantee their no chip because they are confident in their work, never had to go back to these places so I'll continue to give them my business. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! This nail salon is close to my home, so a couple of weeks ago I walked in and spoke with a wonderful girl who talked to me about gel nails V.S. acrylics. I had never had either technique done before, so I wanted a bit of information before making my decision. I went in today and had my nails done by who I am assuming is one of the owners, and she was incredibly rude, disrespectful, and inappropriate. She took multiple personal calls while working on my nails all the while speaking and cackling (yes, cackling) unbelievably loud. It was very obnoxious and unprofessional. My hands were carelessly yanked and my fingers were uncaringly twisted. This "tech" is in desperate need of courses on professionalism. I will never be going back to that nail salon, and I hope that this review helps other first-timers find a more professional salon. read more

If I could have this establishment closed down, i would. My daughter almost lost her toe because of their incompetence. When approached about what they had done, they lied ans denied that thry had hurtt her. Plus they could not even produce a licence for the person who had done the pedicure... they are all about taking the money and could care less about the wellbeing of their patrons. Would warm everyone you know about this place! read more

This is the best nail salon ANYWHERE! I've gone to many places, and have been gravely disappointed. This place takes such good care of the clients. My feet are soft as a baby's bottom when I walk out the door after a pedi. Great place and great prices! read more

Okay, so I decided to go back to the salon after a few bad experiences a couple years ago. I was very impressed on how much they've improved over the last few years . The salon looks very clean &' nice, &' their work also got better. I got Andrew on my first visit &' I highly Recommend, he did a great Job! Definitely will be going back! read more

Absolutely love this nail salon! They're always able to match any nail design I bring in.

Came back after 3 years from a bad experience and thought I should give it another chance because it was so close to my house. Andrew did an awesome job so I'll definitely be back! read more
