It seems like they do not have a walk in culture, which means it's less crowded. In terms of services, they actually soak off the gel/no chip polish with acetone, rather than grinding it off! This is the major reason why I like them because practically every other nail salon grinds it off and then my nails get too thin. They also take their time and make sure that the gel is properly cured, so I've never had a problem with the gel peeling off too early. They don't have the widest selection of colors, but they do such a nice job it doesn't even matter to me. The only thing that I wish was different is that I wish they did NOT have the TVs on with the sound on, but I didn't ask for them to turn it off, so that's on me. Also earbuds exist for a reason. Make an appointment you won't be disappointed.

The technician cut my toes so short that one started bleeding in addition to just looking hideous. She didn't use a grater, I asked her to please go back and use it. She went back and did it on dry skin. I was too shocked to say anything. Both of these services cost 100 dollars and I am flabbergasted at the quality of service provided.

After my service, I paid the amount I was initially told and left a tip. When I returned from the restroom, I was unexpectedly asked to pay even more money because they claimed the price was different than what I had originally been quoted. I felt caught off guard and uncomfortable, especially since I had already paid and tipped. The pricing did not feel transparent, and the experience left me feeling misled. I would encourage future customers to confirm the total cost of every service before the appointment begins to avoid any surprises.

Walking in the area and came across this nail salon in the train station. I was able…read moreTo get a walk in appt for a Russian pedicure. When I asked if they did Russian Pedicure the young lady said yes. She proceeded to run water and sit Me in the chair. I had never had a Russian pedicure so didn't know what to expect. She told me it would be work on my cuticles and that's what made it Russian. Also there would be an extra $20 on top of the $65 gel pedicure price. No problem. While sitting in the chair I googled Russian pedicure and learns that it's a waterless process and usually takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours. I was done in 45 minutes and couldn't tell anything really different than I normally have done at the nail shop. The massage on my legs was very soft and lasted about 30 seconds per leg. The scrubbing on the bottom of my feet with the sponge was so soft that I'm sure none of the dry skin was removed. The salon is clean and they played good music but I was disappointed with the service I received. I would not recommend them for a Russian pedicure since they don't follow the Russian pedicure process. The pedicure in general was subpar at best.

I'm usually stressed while getting my nails done but this was relaxing! The shoulder massage was a great perk and they even gave me a little lotion as a Christmas gift. I left with chocolate, moisturized hands, and cute nails. Will return!

Y'all, it's been REALLY hard for me to find a solid pedicure spot in Chicago…read more Was running errands on a Friday afternoon I requested off and this was in the area. I desperately needed a pedicure and noticed they have a special Monday - Wednesday (just wanted to note). The reviews seemed good enough and I was pleasantly surprised! The salon was packed and one person was waiting before me. Always a great sign imo. I walked in and waited less than 15 minutes. Didnt catch the name of the lady who did my pedicure but she was awesome! I chose the regular producer for $39 and she was very thorough. She scrubbed the callous and took her time. I didn't feel rushed at all and I also didn't feel like I was sitting too long. They also give a quick shoulder massage while you dry your nails which is a nice touch. Out the door, everything cost $46 which isn't bad for the city. I have to note how lovely she painted my nails too. She didn't overpaint - I've noticed some places have been doing three coats of color - yikes. They had about six pedicure chairs and maybe eight for manicures? I didn't get a manicure but one thing I noticed and love is that they keep the services separate. It makes it feel so much nicer. There's also a few spots to park in a private lot - super convenient. I'll definitely be giving them another shot.

I've never had a bad experience, but you can sometimes just tell if someone is rushing or newer. If I've ever booked a random appointment and wanted to make 100% sure I got a really great manicure (i.e my wedding nails) I just tell them "I really want someone who is going to take their time" / "I really want someone who can do some design work" when I check in and they will accommodate that. Fiona did my nails for Lolla and did a great job! She took the time to understand the design I wanted, and if she didn't think it was good enough she wiped it off and tried again. Most techs I've had here ask a lot of questions to check that you like the shape, etc of the nails as they go. I never have to wait more than 15 minutes, and they seem to always be able make room for you if you give them a call.
