Stopped in at Gloss without an appointment. Friendly greeting as soon as I walked in and assigned a tech right away. Henry took his time and did a great job on my nails! The place is very large, clean and has lots of techs so it didn't seem to be much of a wait for anyone. Would highly recommend! read more

I called for appt at the last minute on Saturday and I was able to get in! Yeah! Place was clean, they use disposable files and smoothers as well as the sterilized packs of tools. I usually do the basic toes, which came out nice. My hands needed a bit more work to remove the old liquid gel but it was handled easily. read more

Loved the service, so kind! Great quality and so quick too! I came in a big group and they got us in so quickly!

Place was very busy but was able to walk right in and get a pedicure right away. Nice place, clean and staff were friendly.

Our first time here. Great service, Bright and very clean atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly. This will be our "go to" salon!

Mariah os your girl! Best pedicures and nails I have ever gotten! However if you get Jenna ask for aomeone else she is very rude​

long time client almost every time I go there...another up charge when you ask for an explanation ...they pretend they don't understand English!!!! extra $5 because the tech spent extra time filing your nails ..the tec did the fill in record time 45minutes ...great tech!!! they act like they are afraid to answers any questions(the techs) once a nail fell off during a fill Up charge $5 dam those replacement supper high LOL that's what I doing there ...I tip my tech $20 for a fill!! its not the up charges that upset me ..mostly it attitudes when paying. Because they know its wrong ...sadly I'm looking for another salon ...maybe back to LA nails lots more respect just a litter further to travel ..what some business don't think about I tell 4 ,those 4, tell 4 more !!! also you meet the same people going up the ladder...as when coming down!!! Rockford is full of solans who are more honest, respectful and appreciate your business !! THIS REVIEW IS FOR GLOSS MANGEMENT NOT THE TECHS THEY WATCH THEM LIKE HAWKS!!!! read more

love the service, Tammy was so sweet and professional. I loved the foot massage she gave me as part of my pedicure, I look forward for my next visit! read more

Great staff and beautiful results from my gel mani and normal pedi. Bringing my Mom this week as part of her Mother's Day week of fun!

My nail tech seemed very new and was on the phone pausing to answer calls while doing my nails. The ends of my nails aren't painted all the way and polish is uneven and lumpy looking. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I went with my friend a month ago to get our nails done and I had a HORRIBLE experience. To start, they really push Gel-X on you (or our two technicians did, I don't want to speak for the whole business). They asked us, I said no and my friend said yes. I got asked multiple more times and after the 3rd no, I said yes because I felt pressured and uncomfortable by the constant asking. After the first GEL-X nail was applied, my nail started to burn. Now, I know how it feels for the heat / burning of acrylics, especially under the UV lamp, but this burn was a lot worse and lasted over 30 seconds. I asked the nail tech to stop and he did. I waited and since the burning wasn't stopping, I went and washed my hands. This helped, but I didn't want to continue the service anymore. I had to tell my technician I didn't want to continue 3 different times, and then a bunch of the salon workers came over to my chair. There were 2 older ladies talking to my technician and hovering over me, and I had to keep repeating myself that I was Ok and just did not want to continue. I had to explain it to so many people, they kept coming over and it was really embarrassing. I finally asked them what is going on because so many people were talking all around me and not telling me what is happening (they were talking in another language). They all looked at me and the technician doing my friends nails said "we just feel SO BAD that you can't get your nails done". Well it's funny because nobody said anything to me. I was ignored and talked over and snided at. I TRIED to give my technician a $5 tip and he walked away from my table and did not accept the bill, which I felt even more embarrassed at. So then ANOTHER older lady came up to my table after he left, i tried to hand her the $5 and ask that she gives it to my technician bc he didn't accept it. She then gave a look to the technician who was doing my friends nails, and that technician FINALLY acknowledged me and said she would give it to him. Why didn't she do that when I was handing it to him and he was ignoring me?? Why did she speak to me when I said something to another worker? I want it to be clear, I do not care at all that I had a bad reaction to the GEL-X. I know some people are sensitive to different treatments, and I do not think it is the salons fault that I got burned from the GEL-X. They should not be penalized for the reaction my body had. However, the salon SHOULD be accountable for the unprofessionalism and rudeness they provided me. I was ignored, laughed at, treated like a spectacle and embarrassed by the employees of this salon. I was embarrassed already that I had to refuse a service I wanted, and instead of accepting it, they blew it into a huge issue and made a huge scene. I was so mortified and uncomfortable leaving this salon. read more

Jenna did a good job at making sure my experience went well. I did the standard pedicure and I enjoyed it. She was communicative and sweet .

I had 1 hour to get my nails done because i had a client to go see. It took an hour and 40 min. Mostly because I chose a finish that they offered that was not accomplished despite many layers on one finger trying to get it. Another tech picked a completely different polish and color and its simply not what I wanted. Finally I just told them to get the paint on my nails because I was going to be late for my next appt. I not pleased at all with how my nails look. At $75 this was a huge disappointment. The place looks nice but the work provided doesn't match the upscale Aesthetics of the place. read more

I get both a mani and pedi on average every 3 weeks. I see TT for my mani and either Johnny or Vu for my pedi. All of the technicians are highly skilled, always professional, personable and delightful. The location is always impeccably clean. A 5 star rating is just not enough. I highly recommend Gloss to anyone who is looking for a personal one on one experience with dedicated professionals. read more

Enjoyable experience. Pedicures were perfect. They have a lot of chairs and staff so no waiting.

I had heard about Gloss for about 6 months now since moving to Rockford, but didn't try them until today! I was greeted right away and sat down to remove my acrylic, went very fast and smooth. Then was passed onto the next girl, Sarah, she was absolutely wonderful! Took care of me and explained every step of my nail process, I went with "builder gel" which is new to me so I appreciated the explanation. I will definitely be back to see her! read more

Went for a pedicure and new set. The pedicure went great they asked if I wanted regular polish or no chip so I chose no chip.... the problem is they don't tell you is there's a $20 up charge for that! My pedicure went from $35 to $55 because of nail polish and they didn't inform me before it was time to pay.... next comes the nails. I asked them to remove the old ones so I could get a fresh new set and I'm aware that most places charge you for removal but they usually soak them off not charge you $15 to take a nail tip and rip your nails to shreds! If I would have known that I would have saved myself $15 and chewed my nails off at home!!! All the nails are misshapen the nail polish is so thick the nails just look bad! Definitely not happy with what I left with! Way to over priced for a mediocre job.....I won't be back. read more

Great services & Quynh was so nice and my nails look great! She didn't mind when I asked her to go a bit shorter, which I've noticed at other salons they can sometimes be a bit huffy. I appreciated her patience. read more

I went to this place because I was waiting for my eyeglasses to be made. I was greeted very quickly as a walk-in and was a great experience

I've used this place for a while and all I get Horrible service, rude staff, lies about walk in policy.

Thank you Karina for such a beautiful job on my nails. My first time at Gloss and I was pleased. I've only recently started getting regular manicures and this is the second shop I've patronized. The first shop can't hold a candle to Gloss. Gloss is 5 Star. read more

The girl that did my pedicure was awesome. She did them exactly how I wanted and helped me decide on a color.

Excellent fast service. Exactly what I wanted! Will be back. Beautiful nail salon - polite staff.

I have never had an issue, but called ahead today for an appointment at 4pm and came in at 3:45 and checked in. I cancelled my appointment at 4:30 since I had been waiting 45min with no communication and don't want to support a buisness with service like this. It's fine if you fall behind, but communication is key. Very sad to not come here anymore read more

Vi is great! Thank you for beautiful nails, easy scheduling & keeping us both on time!

All was great! Got in same day. Very relaxing. Loved the fruit and scrub. Massage on legs too.
