Just what I wanted

I definitely want to go back here. I went to a woman named Kiki and she was attentive to detail and I think she did an exceptional job. I am a customer that changes my mind often and she was patient and flexible. I recommend this salon and I recommend Kiki!

This is the best kept secret of Brighton Park. The ladies here take their time with a pedicure, whether basic (classic sea salt $26) or spa. This place is CLEAN-CLEAN and there was no wait time. Other places in the area are very unsanitary so I value this. If it's gel, add 15$ extra. I paid 41$ for a gel pedicure. Prices are comparable to the area and I firmly believe this place was worth it.

Fungal infection

I've been a client for years now, getting pedicures and manicures every month. My last visit was so disappointing, the fact that it lasted 3 hours wasn't even the worst part. For context my regular services are a gel x manicure / fill in and no chip pedicure. They seem to have hired a new lady, she asked me multiple times what services I wanted, she was on the phone the entire time. She began to soak off my gel x - I asked for a fill in not a new set. Then she proceeded to put acrylic on my nails - I asked for gel x. I ask that she remove the acrylic from my nails and she was unable to do so fully. She would buff it down and tell me it was gone, it wasn't, she would buff it down a little bit more and say that now it was gone, it wasn't. I was able to scrape a portion off myself w her tool to show her, she said it was "my nail". Well the nail where the acrylic "was gone" from according to her, began to hurt 2 weeks later. It was a throbbing pain, worse with touch, as if I had dropped something heavy on it. As I looked at it closer I noticed some discoloration coming from underneath the gel. I was able to remove the gel only to find the horrible sight you see in the pictures. I had to seek medical attention to address the infection acquired. I returned to the salon to make them aware of the situation but they said they couldn't contact the owner or the manager. They said it looked "fine", "if you want to do gel X again today it will be ok". I will keep that in mind if I ever get tired of having 10 fingers.

Wont be back. Paid 50 for very, very poorly shaped nails. Charged extra because I chose white.

I do not recommend anyone to go here after my experience. Wont be back and will make sure everyone I know is aware. God forbid you get something you don't like, prepare for some unprofessional attitude. Yes you will be charged and not told about the charge until payment. I came in and asked for a replication of the picture below. I was given a white pudgy, over-coated gel on top of acrylic. I requested almond shape before even being filed and received the complete opposite. I was trying to be nice and work with the tech since I didn't like the shape so I requested a coat of glitter on the pinkies and if it were to cost anything, she said no. I figured I'd wear this for the trip, and then come back and pay to have it removed and try dip powder since the sole purpose of these nails was just for a weekend trip. Upon payment she charged me $50, versus the discussed price $35. I asked here where the additional 15 came from and she said because I chose the color white. That upset me because those things should be communicated. She had a careless attitude about it, and to be pushed into a corner to pay like that is unethical. I called after I left and requested to have the nails thinned out a bit because they look over coated and unnatural. I initially rated 2 stars. Below is the update of the next encounter which really set me off and is the reason I will make sure this business understands the weight of my experience to a full effect. *Update* down a star for poor customer service Went back, try to resolve, got treated kindly at first until I asked for a breakdown of what I was initially charged for versus what I asked for. I asked for acrylic nails with regular polish which was 35. They gave me gel nail polish, charged extra for the color white, and charged for one coat of the glitter on both pinkies totaling $50. I was upset because they didn't tell me these charges were being made. I would have been okay if those things were communicated. I requested I get what I ask for and the tech can keep the rest of my refund as a tip...until they actually started fixing my nails. The lady who initially my nails did not look at me, speak to me, and was only speaking in a different language to her coworkers. A different coworker did my nails and handled me roughly and with an unprofessional demeanor. I tried to converse and ask what the cross streets were and they both ignored me, so I asked two more times and again ignored; a client sitting next to me was uncomfortable and answered the question for them. After that, I decided on getting my refund which should equate to $15. The manager? i spoke to who was initially very kind and willing to find a solution gave me my $10 back after I requested, to which I corrected him and said it was $15. He rolled his eyes and didn't even hand me the $5. What kind of business operates like this? I'm all for supporting local, small, companies, but it's just very difficult to when there's a problem and an ego/attitude interrupts the solution. Ill make sure everyone I know stays clear of this place. And I hope everyone who does come here has a way better experience than me. But seriously, go anywhere else.

Dark pink when cold/light pinkish nude when warm

The man who did my nails was very sweet and tested some of the colors on his own nails so I could see them. He also recommended the color changing polish which I've never seen before!!

It was ok over all I liked it it was 85 dollars which was good and there cute I would recommend good quality

French tip...
Edith R.

Did a good job..! They treated my daughter like a princess too. Not too expensive either.

Everyone was nice but I was very unhappy with the nails I got. I'm not someone to write reviews but I really was disappointed with the service. I was not told that there were extra charges for things that are normally included in the manicure price. I asked for short French tip nails and was charged $90. I will not be returning...

Pay attention to what your tech is doing. They will charge you for services you did not ask for. First and last time going there.

Bad customer service, they are only in it for the money and techs will be talking on the phone the whole time they serve you.

There is one little disappointment I had but it wasn't a huge deal so I still give 5 stars. My only disappointment: I booked them via Instagram after seeing mutuals post about them. I sent them multiple reference pictures to inquire about the price and I settled with the muted dull rose design I included in the pictures down below. They confirmed with me and I booked the appointment. When I sent them the pic, I was hoping to get a close match. The tech asked me to choose a color from their collection but I thought they would choose it for me to get the same color as the reference picture I sent prior to appointment. I was expecting the tech to help me since they knew the colors they had available. Either way, I asked my nail tech to help me get an appropriate color because I didn't see any that I thought was a good match. He choose it while looking at the picture but it turned out too purple. I was too timid and nervous to voice it so I went with it. The purple was a bit too flashy and not muted as I wanted. The other nail tech by him also said the color was wrong when he applied it to my nails but he said I was the one to choose the color , which was untrue, I just said okay to his recommendation since he knew I wanted the nails from the picture I showed. That was the only part I had a slight issue with but everything else was amazing. They had really pretty and quality nail gems! The nail tech had good skills and shaped my nails well. The prep was minimal but efficient. The salon had a good atmosphere and vibe was good as it was really bright and clean. I felt welcomed and attended to. They made sure to take care of me right away. I only had to wait about 10mins when I walked in since they were finishing someone else up. I got a guy nail tech but I was looking at the other female nail techs' works on other clients and I liked them a lot so I think next time, I'll specifically request one of the female nail techs. They seems very detail-oriented and made sure the clients were truly happy with what they got. I liked my nail tech too but I think he didn't pay as much attention to what I wanted as the other techs to their clients. My nail tech was nice and had good attitude! I would go back again. Really nice salon and they offer brow waxing and lash extensions too!! Price: it was definitely pricey (yes I had an estimate prior so I went in knowing about how much I was gonna pay) and no cash discount (which is completely fine!) but I do think it was justified with the extension, the length, the ombré, and the gems. It is considered full design. Good quality work!

I've been here a few times and they always do a phenomenal job. The most recent time, Liz did my…read morenails and she was so sweet and respectful. I'm a cuticle biter/picker, therefore my cuticles are always damaged and I'm slightly self-conscious of it - and it never fails that a nail tech always comments on them. Well Liz did not, and it was such a relief that she didn't even do a double take or switch up her tone. She remained bubbly and made me feel very comfortable and accepted. I will definitely become a regular here.
