    Came into Hot Nails with no appointments and was quickly greeted by the lovely staff there. I knew I didn't want acrylic so I asked if they could do hard gel. Seems like they do not do that but they did powder gel or the new dip nails. Ended up telling them to do powder gel with form for my nails with pink and silver no chip on top. The guy who did my nails was Lee. He did an amazing job. He made sure my nails were exactly how I wanted them to be. He kept asking me if the length was right and if the shape was okay. There's also a mini parking lot in front of the store so that is a plus. The only thing I want to comment on is the strong smell from all the chemicals when you first walk into the store. I felt suffocating at first, but then I got used to it. Other than that, this place was a hit and not a miss. I only had time for a mani but will try to get a pedi on my next visit. I would definitely come back to Lee to get my nails done in the future.

    Omgosh this place needs some serious ventilation!! I cannot believe the customers here stayed considering how bad the no chip smelled. It was a Saturday evening, around 7 pm and my preggo self really needed a pedicure and foot massage. I searched yelp to see which salons are open until 8 pm and this place came up. I called just to double check if they were opened and allowing walk-ins. They said yes, come through. The location is easy to find since it's on a main Street (Touhy- close to Cicero and Touhy). There was plenty of parking in their little plaza. I didn't like that there was no fresh air coming into the salon or that there were no ventilation. The people working there had masks but I didn't and I felt like I couldn't breathe. It was horrible. I was literally two seconds away from just walking out because the smell of no chip just consumed the air. The only reason I didn't is because my mom was with me and she had already started her treatment and I was her ride home. When you go to a pedicure, you went to relax but I was just practicing my breathing because I couldn't handle the smell of the air. I don't know how the other people in the salon weren't phased by it or that they didn't seem too terribly concerned. The lady who worked on my pedicure was nice but I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon just because I didn't feel like it was a 5 star pedicure. When you're almost 8 months pregnant, you can't reach your feet. You're lucky if you can see your feet, nevertheless touch them. I needed a pedicure because the heel of my foot needed some scrapping and some tender love and care. Homegirl definitely did not scrape all the dead skin off. She did cut and file my nails but she didn't put top coat on my nails so it doesn't have the shine of a fresh pedicure. They charge $22 for the manicure- not crazy expensive but I didn't think I got a good pedicure for the price. I always say, check a business out for yourselves because everyone's experience is different. I personally don't intend on going anytime soon but I highly recommend you see if it works for you!

    Hot Nails has been my salon since 2014. Since the day I walked in Lee has taken the best care of my nails giving me the most beautiful gel French manicures. Kim does my lashes and she shapes them so beautifully. With the renovations the chairs for the pedicures are so luxurious, the services have expanded the space is more open. The most affordable best service and location is great. Open late.

    French Manicure.

    I got a regular french manicure - the manicure is $15 and they add $5 for the white tips! She honestly did a great job and made them look very clean and the white top wasn't too thick. I wanted a super simple and clean look! I'd go back again. They also do walk ins which I did!

    Lee did my nails (highly recommend) Cathy did my facial (highly recommend) Kim did my pedicure (highly recommend) First time having a facial here and love it! They are open and follow CDC guidelines. Felt very safe and came out feeling fabulous.

    Decided to try this spot out because I desperately needed my previous no chip removed and it's near my office in Skokie (I usually go to one particular place in the city and didn't want to drive that far). I came in at around 6pm and they were able able to get me in right away. The person doing my nails didn't speak a whole lot of English but that doesn't bother me at all. A woman did the no chip removal and a man did my new no chip. Very happy with the outcome - the shape was a little more square than I usually get (pointier corners) but that's on me for not saying anything. Application was good, although there are a few spots that I can see the brush strokes which isn't usually the case. Provided that this mani lasts as long as those at my normal place, this may end up being my mani place of choice for after work!

    20+ years I have been getting my nails done by Kathy!!!! She is a true artist of her trade. If you want a nail salon that will always leave you smiling, this is the place. They are clean, safe, and highly skilled. Oh and they ALWAYS treat their customers like family.

    TERRIBLE!!!!! I use to love this place.. sadly it hasn't been the same the last 2-3 times I have gone it's really busy I wait but then they rush to finish to take the next person .. this was the last time i went in .. I decided to try dip which is $45 ... the guy who took care of me left glue all over my hands my nails weren't shaped right the topcoat was overflowing that it make my nail on the sides stick to my skin it was awful then he cut me 3 times each time I said ouch and he just laughed not even a sorry he was trying to rush it to take the next person! ;( I don't like reviewing places but I had just got out of work I wanted to destress and it was a horrible experience!

I was nervous, I did a bunch of research, I was skeptical, and I had no idea what to expect. When I arrived, Ella was personable and welcoming. She offered me coffee or water. We talked about what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. I showed her some images, she made some recommendations, and then she got right to work. There's something about Ella that makes her automatically trustworthy, so I laid there and let her do her thing. She was careful, accommodating, and a damn good time.

It looks like I'm wearing makeup all the time. They're stunning. When I first arrived at Ella's place, I realized that I hadn't even thought about the style I was going for. The last time I got my lashes done, I was given a "cat eye" look that really did not match my eye shape. Ella took the time to figure out a good style that would suit me better, and she got right to work. She is very methodical - she knows exactly what she's doing. Her fun music and soothing voice are a nice touch when you have to lie still with your eyes closed for two hours. The pricing is also quite reasonable - just note that she prefers Zelle as a payment method. Because I have a smaller bank that doesn't use Zelle, she downloaded Venmo for me to pay her. She is so accommodating and I am excited to go back in a week or so for a fill.

    I am sorely disappointed.. after the disaster of going through my lash lift through Milita (see…read morephoto evidence), I was upset. Milita offered to re-do some lash extensions at their expense, which I thought was really generous. However, after conferring with about 4-5 other lash studios and having them take a look at my lashes, they all advised me not to have any lash lift or lash extensions done to my eyes until they had time to fully repair. I waited several weeks and did not get a lash extension fill anywhere. Now that it has been months and my lashes have finally had time to heal, I sent an email to Milita asking for the lash extensions and even offering to pay. They declined me on the premise that "since we could not handle this privately, they cannot offer me any service." I am sorely disappointed in this entire situation. I have always been a huge supporter of the lash extensions at this place. I have only sung praises about the extensions. However, my eyes were burned and my lashes were fried, frayed, and simply unacceptable after the lash lift that the tech tried to do on me. I know that it isn't just my lashes because I was able to get the lift right at another location (see my other reviews). Rather than making good on their promise to allow me to have lash extensions done, I am now denied service entirely. When I expressed my frustration at the situation, I was emailed back that they simply did not want to make me unhappy again. Which makes no sense as I had only sung their praises at the beginning (see below) and have never been disappointed in the lash extensions. Regardless, it makes me feel as though I am being denied future service because of a poor review I left on some genuine low-quality service that really did damage my lashes and ruin a lot of my self-esteem for a while. I would never return to get that service, but I am sorely disappointed that I am not welcome back for the services I did enjoy. I will move on to another location.

    Odette is the best! She made my first lash perm a comfortable experience!…read more I attended a family wedding 2 months ago and wanted to do something different aside from doing fake lash extensions. I've done the fake lash extensions for years now and they just don't do it for me anymore. I also don't want to look like Mr. Snuffleupagus when I'm trying to look cute. If I do get falsies I'm lucky if they last a week. I've also done magnetic lashes too but those don't stay on well resulting in the corners being undone. I wanted my lashes to look as natural as possible with some curl to it. My lashes naturally lie flat and even with mascara, they don't appear to stand out. Lash perms can give your own lashes the extra curl needed. Most of all the perms last for at least a month! Odette was sweet, calm and patient with me given this was my first time doing this. She explained the process and checked in with me often since the perm solution they put on can cause mild stinging. I felt that but it didn't cause serious discomfort. In the days ahead, my eyes did crust up but what I was left with were a beautiful set of lashes that were of my own, just a bit enhanced to give you that va-va-va voom oomph to your look. If paired with eyelash primer and a coat of mascara, they stand out guaranteeing you won't get that Snuffleupagus aesthetic. I would definitely recommend lash perms for a special occasion/vacation. My session lasted an hour allowing for relaxation. In fact, I took a 20-minute nap while on the table! Parking is a breeze with Posh Beauty situated in a large strip mall with adequate free parking. Get your lash on and look fabulous!
