    We were in the Naperville area and wanted to get pedicures. We stumbled into this place because they were accepting walk ins and were close to where we were. This was my boyfriend's first pedicure and he went in not expecting to love it as much as he did! This place felt a little more luxe than the places I go to for pedicures so I'm glad my boyfriend got a good experience! Upon being seated, we got the choice to pick a scent (lavender, olive, green tea) which is what will be used for the water, the scrub, and the lotion they use at the end- which I thought was really cool since more places I go to just use the general salts and scrub. The lady that helped me was super nice and patient when I was choosing a color. I believe they also provide drinks and wine since there was a drink fridge and wine bottles on the wall, but we didn't get offered any and were too shy to ask but if it's provided, we'll be sure to enjoy it next time. After the pedicure, and after giving us time to dry, they had us sit at the regular waiting seats and they gave us a nice little shoulder massage which was just the icing on the cake for my boyfriend! There was construction going on at the front so be mindful when coming into the suite. Overall, really great experience! No one was mentioning the price, but the price for a basic pedicure was $38 but for what you get, I think it's worth it!

    First time client, called for an appt was able to be seen same day within an hour. No waiting once I got there, checked in and sat within 10 mins. Ryan did my nails and was amazing, helped me pick the perfect color and made sure I liked my nails before completing the service. Highly recommend!! My nails turned out amazing.

    I wasn't planning to review - (I had decided to myself to not come back here). Then I talked to someone I know who used to go here & now I feel compelled to write a review..... The after photo is great. My nails look perfect, but it's been over 5 hours and still extremely painful to the touch. My nail tech was very rough & I kept flinching but she didn't seem to notice. (She was very interested in the TV show behind her which I thought was a little strange). I recently moved & this is closer to home so I was really hopeful it would be as amazing as my regular nail salon but I definitely won't be back.

    Fall no chip nails!

    Always get in on a moments notice. Very accommodating to my work schedule. Ryan is the best for seasonal fun nails! Thanks Ryan !

    I got a full set and a basic pedicure today, done by two different technicians. Large variety of nail polish to choose from. They take appointments and walk ins. My nail tech was very friendly and he was extremely knowledgeable about current looks and styles. I actually enjoyed the social atmosphere here. Everyone (including the ladies getting nails done) were chatting amongst each other and just being kind, yet it was still relaxing. Full set (35 with coffin shaping) : Great polish work, perfect length, perfect shape. He even cut all my cuticles off and didn't leave any dead skin. Basic Pedicure (30): She massaged for a very long time, but unfortunately there was no pressure so I didn't feel it. She did however get ALL of my callous, cut my cuticles, trimmed and shaped my toe nails, and did a great job on my polish. The basic pedicure comes with an oil and hot towels. I will definitely be returning for my fill in a few weeks!

    I went in on a weekday in the afternoon and they accepted my mom and I as walk ins right away. We both got gel manis and I didn't know they charged $35 for a gel manicure (I'm used to $30) but it turned out so nice that I'm ok with the price! If you get something extra then it will probably be a $5 charge. For example, I got the "cat eye" gel mani (check out the pic). I wanted to try it because I've seen lots of pics of it online and wondered how it was done. The "cat eye" nail polish is actually magnetic, so they hold a magnet at an angle above your nail, and it moves the polish to form an angle. I wouldn't get this every time but definitely worth it to try once! Overall, I thought my nail tech was really nice, but some of the others weren't as friendly as my lady. I appreciate the extra effort they put into the manis. My only issue is $35 for a gel mani (and mine came out to $40 because of the $5 charge for the cat eye)... But I guess that's the norm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This place is trash. Nail tech was talking to another client the entire time she was working on my nails. She was so distracted talking she cut my cuticle and drew blood... I let it slide until she cut another finger because she was so distracted. At that point, I didn't want to waste any money there because she obviously doesn't value customer service? The tech still charged me $18 although she didn't paint my nails or anything. Now I have two bandages and bare nails. Save your money and go to GLO down the street.

    I've been coming here for the last 2 years already and they are the best! So accommodating and caring! My last no chip mani so many compliments

    Per my hard hitting Quick Tip, their massaging pedi chairs really "get all up in your B-hole." Like whoa. Now, I haven't decided whether I'm going to file that under the 'good' or 'bad' touch category as of yet; I'm leaning towards bad, however, I will admit that I pressed the butt button *at least* three times, even after I knew it really f*ckin' hurt the first time. So take my massage masochism for what it's worth. Bimonthly (meaning twice a month, not every 2 months-btw), I like to get a little rehabbing and polish change on my nails and a pedi- because even though my personal affairs and affects might be a mess, my digitals are ALWAYS in some sort of order. On this particular visit, I chose for that order to be communicated in the form of sparkle, and lots of it- butt loads, if you will. What I liked about this nail salon goes a little something like this: The best cuticle work I've ever had, the shape of my nails was stellar, and they have a more than decent color selection with tons of sparkle selection- which is not normally my thing at all but they had a variety of really teeny tiny fine glitter polishes and I really wanted them to spackle on the sparkle so at the end my nails would look like they'd been dipped in mercury. What I wasn't so fond of was the cramped and kinda cluttered look of the space. Some feng shui 101 is defo in order here and maybe it's the blank walls, or that there's a few too many chairs or tables but it just wasn't cozy; like the DMV of nail salons. Also, the teen working the front desk was testing my patience with her inability to STFU and stop whining about every little thing that popped into her head, and I mainly wasn't a fan of how hostile it felt in there between the employees. No smiling, not much talking, and just an overall uncomfortable + awkward vibe. Plus, my guy was kind of a crabby patty know it all. I wanted a base coat and glitter on top and he wouldn't stop trying to convince me that all I wanted was glitter. Literally 10 minutes of going back and forth while he just kept saying it'd be too thick and wouldn't look right but FINALLY, he realized I had sparkle on the brain and that I wasn't going to give up on my argument, so he quit his bitchin' and painted my digits up real nice like- and guess what guys? My nails looked f*cking fantastic and I got sososoooo many compliments on how shiny and minx-y they looked. So, myeh. I win. I kind of want to go back for the intense cuticle treatment they do, but if getting the blue and gold sparkle tips I want is going to be such an ordeal, well, I think Everclear puts it best: Sparkle and Fade.

    Broken Nails Within Days-Poor Quality & Service at Luxia Nails and Spa…read more I've been going to Nick at Luxia for months, but my last visit was unacceptable. I paid $149 total (plus cash tip) over two appointments in June 2025 for acrylic nails and a color correction after he used "Piglet" instead of "Cashmere." I even simplified the design to make the second installation easier and quicker. Within hours of the second visit, a nail broke. After they fixed the first nail, another nail broke two days later. I had to go back four times in 10 days just to fix their mistakes. Despite clear evidence the application or products were faulty, the manager refused a refund or proper installation. She offered only to fix one nail or give me a discount after I'd already spent nearly $200 and was missing a nail days before a wedding. Unprofessional, poor quality, and no accountability. I do not recommend this salon. Save your time and money.

The lady barely, scrubbed or messaged my feet !!! She was just rubbing her hands over my legs and feet for 2 minutes, hardly a massage !! I am actually really sad to write this review.. but I had a really bad experience today... I feel like the last few times I've come in the service has been lacking. Today was by far the worsthe lady never introduced herself and was so rough with the tools. It was not very relaxing. My polish is so thick and streaky that I asked her to fix it. I hope this is a one time occurrence because I do like this place.

You can book online which is also super easy and much appreciated! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I had the Oat Milk And Brown Sugar Pedicure: Purifying soak baths to cleanse and soothe the skin. A detox masque to cleanse the skin of impurities, excess oil, and toxins. A gentle exfoliation using our sugar scrub. Callus treatment to smooth rough patches. Steam massage to relax muscles and enhance circulation. Warm towel wrap and paraffin wax treatment will melt away your worries and soothe your tired feet. I highly recommend this one. They scrub my legs with actual oranges and milk. It was really nice! I also really like getting calluses removed and the paraffin wax. My only complaint is I wanted a little bit more done with the callus removal. Next time I will just tell them that. The massage chairs are excellent. Overall, I'm happy with my pedicure and it was a very relaxing experience. I will be back!

Now, Im super particular about my nails and my nail tech Jessica had the patience of a saint. Told me to my face that what I wanted was a waste of money and she was 100 percent correct. We ended up doing something super cute and very me. The prices are so reasonable. Again.. I'm from the over priced hell hole that is NY where a Gel X manicure easily 150 dollars.. the entire serve plus tip was 140. Thats a manicure, spa pedicure and tip.
