    My right foot while waiting for the nail polish to dry.
    Ben T.

    It was awesome. Mary and the team are very welcoming and seem to be genuinely cool. When I arrived everything was pretty much ready to go because I made my appointment online which was super convenient. I also thought it would be fun to get my nails painted but being a guy, I tend not to ask for fear of being judged. Nope not here: they just asked if I'd be interested like it's something they would ask anyone. Looking forward to taking friends with me next time I go.

    Best pedicure I've had in Chicago, hands down! I walk A LOT in this city and my feet needed some serious attention lol. Cuticle has an intimate feel and cozy vibes. They were thorough and delivered high quality service with serious attention to detail. They took their time, and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. I will definitely be going back soon! Highly recommended.

    There aren't many nail places near me in Uptown, so glad I discovered this spot! You have to make an appointment, but they are pretty flexible. They are super accommodating and didn't even cancel my appointment during the snow storm last week (I told them it would've been fine). I went with my girlfriend and we were the only two. It's a small space with three chairs set up for manicures and three for pedicures. We both got no chips and loved them. They did such an amazing job. We built a dresser the next day and our nails survived. That is the ultimate test Highly recommend this spot - just remember to bring cash for a tip (they accept Venmo too)!

    Cuticle is a one woman show. .. opened, owned and operated by Basia. I recently stopped in for a manicure and pedicure. Let me rephrase that. I didn't stop in. I made an appointment first as Cuticle does not accept walk-ins. Basia runs her business without a staff, so I completely understand her policy. She's extremely passionate about her work takes a meticulous approach to her mani-pedis. Basia is super cool and friendly. We laughed and talked the entire time. Her schedule fills up quickly, so I suggest booking in advance. Manicures and pedicures only. No other services offered.

    In a world of so-so nail salons, this one is a beautiful gem shining through the muck. Basia is hilarious and snarky and so fun to talk to. Her employee, Julie, does an excellent job making sure your nails turn out perfect. She made my nails look like they just grow shiny and brown and I'm so amazed at the level of perfection. I actually went here months ago to get gels taken off, and Basia just glued my broken nail out of the goodness of her heart. She really cares about the health of your nails and will make sure you leave happy. Clearly I left happy, because I came back later to try out the $35 no-chip manicure. I'll end by saying that I'll definitely be back again in a couple weeks.

    No chip manicure - I will have to find out what color this is!

    Loved my first no chip manicure with Basha. My experience was truly 5-star worthy. We chatted and laughed about life together. Not only is she a badass female business owner, from the other end of her station she's ready to chime in and give much needed life advice if you're ready to listen -- like a wise sage mail technician. I'm not the type of person who likes to sit in silence at nail salons. I'm a people person and like to chat. It was a nice change of pace to sit with someone who I felt actually enjoyed my company instead of viewing me as more money in her register. I will be back!

    Basia was able to see me the same day I called, and she was very friendly and efficient during my mani-pedi.

My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

    I noticed the business name change from Sapphire Halsted to Black Onyx when I booked on the Booksy…read moreapp and was admittedly a little hesitant until I saw Gala's name. 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!

    Started of good then it wasn't.. I came for acrylic removal and a pedicure. My pedicure was the…read moreworst. and my manicure removal went well. For the pedicure.: the nail part was cute however the bottom and the side of my feet looked the same as I came. I brought this to the techs attention and she's goes next time you have to book a callus treatment. WTH? I still have dead skin on my feet. What a scam!! I'm so mad I wasted my money and time. Thank goodness we live in a city with options!

    I've found my new nail place. And actually, I didn't even realize I needed a new nail place…read more I'm in the process of trying to beautify and pamper myself in the days before I give birth, and getting a manicure and pedicure was on my list of desired treatments. I haven't had a mani pedi since at least October 2019, if not further back than that. They haven't been my #1 priority for pampering (that's a facial), but it do enjoy it. I learned about Dazzle Dry polish in the last year or so and have been curious to try it ever since, but it appears that there's only a few salons in the city that use it and so that's what led me to Spa Avenue. When I got there the woman who worked on me was ready to start immediately; it just took me a few minutes to choose my color. I suppose it was a fairly standard manicure/pedicure, but still I appreciated her attention to detail and she had a great touch--not too rough or anything. My hands and feet feel so nice and soft now. My hands had been really dry lately but they feel soft and supple a day later. Dazzle Dry is fantastic, so between that and the good service I experienced here that will keep me coming back. I usually don't get color on my fingernails when I get a pedicure, I just get them buffed because if they aren't chipped by the time I leave the salon, they are by the end of that same evening. Over 24 hours later, there's not a chip to be seen on my nails currently. It's supposed to last something like 7-10 days and I believe it. It's also great because unlike no-chip, it doesn't have to cure or anything and you can remove it with regular acetone nail polish remover I think. I didn't realize how excited I would be to be able to wear nail color on my fingernails again, or how much I love the look of it! I'm not kidding when I say I gave up on nail polish well over a decade ago and haven't worn it since, and now I can't wait to return and try other colors. I wish I had gotten the name of the nail tech who worked on me today because she was excellent and I'd love to request her specifically next time. But all the folks here seem to know what they're doing so I would expect to have a good experience with anyone.
