    By far the best nail salon in Chicago! Amazing service, amazing staff, and of course amazing nails. They always do such a great job and are great to chat with. I cannot recommend Izabela's enough!!

    Nails after 2 weeks. Done by Basia.

    My mom has been going to this salon for 7+ years and has raved about all of their services. I was visiting town and went to see Basia for a manicure and pedicure (Basia is who my mom usually sees) ans I am SO impressed! I got my nails done over 2 weeks ago (gel) and they still look perfect (pictured). This is honestly the best manicure and pedicure I have ever gotten. Basia's attention to detail and care are amazing. I look forward to going again when I'm in town!

    In love

    I love Love LOVE this salon! Izabela took such good care of me! I have problem nails and she is the first artist that truly put a real effort into making my nails pretty! Such amazing attention detail and she is so pleasant! I will never go anywhere else and highly recommend this salon! Thank you sooooooo much!

    I'm super embarrassed! This is what $40 and 1.5 hours will get you.

    I really wanted to like this place! The nail tech was extremely nice and friendly, it was clean and they had a great selection of polishes. The problem lies in the fact that they couldn't do a fill in 1.5 hours!! For me, if I cannot get in and out with a pedicure and fill in two hours, it really doesn't matter how my nails look. The tech insisted on filing off my existing gel polish and acrylic BY HAND! Even though a drill was readily available, she insisted on using a nail file to strip away the layers. She was meticulous in the application of the acrylic powder too... (At this point we are 50-60 mins in) and then proceeded to file down the new acrylic with a nail file once again. After 1.5 hours of buffing, she was finally ready to apply the polish but her 3:30 customer was on her way and I was informed that it would be another 15 mins to polish my nails. I had to leave without any polish because I had to go to work. I asked if I could come back tomorrow and she told me she was booked.

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL acrylics, done by Aya. Used IBD Just gel Polish in 'Just Me n' Capri'

    The ONLY place where I will get my nails done in Chicago. Excellent work EVERY time, very consistent. No matter who does my nails, it's always done perfectly. Tip for those who have an issue with how long their services take: in my humble opinion, I would rather they take their time and do a fantastic job that looks great and lasts for a decent amount of time, than for them to hurry up and do a sloppy job. Good work takes time and I get acrylics and gel nails here that last 3 weeks to 1 month without lifting or chipping (which is more than I can say for some other nails shops in the city). If I'm already paying them, I might as well let them do a great job and get the most for my money :) FYI, that GORGEOUS red color is 'Backstage Beauty' by OPI

    I've been going to Izabela's for almost 6 months. The BEST gel no chip manicure in the city. My manicure lasts an easy 3 weeks and I could probably push to 4 but I just want a refresh sooner. Highly recommend! Just make sure to call for an appointment.

    Anelya is amazing. She is nice and professional, precise and thorough. I really appreciate that she worked so hard and meticulous on my nails and cuticles to make them look perfect!

    Gel nails with no-chip polish on top. LOVE IT! My nails have never looked better.

    See all

    I've been booking with Indira at different locations for the past 14 years. I've always booked one…read moreof 2 services (a partial highlight or full highlight with toner). I've always had ease booking and getting the same service and never had issues with the results I've gotten. The last 2 times, after booking the text service reached out which ended up being the owner in a very attacking tone. All of a sudden the what I wanted was going to take twice as long and cost twice as much. I highly recommend finding a salon with better owner customer service, with all of the options out there, don't be swindled by Tracey and her long texts to your phone demanding she knows what she's talking about for a salon you're a regular at while trying to double your service needs. Horrible communication and customer service from the top down which is sad to see given the stylists there don't have anything to do with the way they are conducting their client communication and scheduling.

    I had such an amazing experience at Indira today! I've come here off and on over the past few…read moreyears, and I've always had a pleasant experience, but today's visit was truly five stars. I was able to book an appointment day of through the website which was super convenient. After checking in, I waited for maybe a minute or two before being introduced to my stylist, Gaetano. Right away he sat me down and started inspecting my hair (it was clear I hadn't been in for a trim in quite some time...busted!). He asked me what I was looking for and made suggestions for a cut and style. During the wash, he used a shampoo and conditioner that was particular to my hair needs. The head and neck massage was much needed and so good! Gaetano took time and care cutting my hair, and it was clear it's something he's passionate about. After a blow out, he even curled and styled it for me! The haircut was amazing, but chatting with Gaetano was the cherry on top. He's originally from Rome, and moved here for a better life for his children and family. We discussed our love for Italy and the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Throughout the haircut, he gave me tips and tricks that I can do to improve the quality of my hair. I normally book a haircut with whoever is available, but moving forward I'm definitely going to be seeing Gaetano! Grazie!

    Be aware that this shop puts an illegal 3-month expiration date on gift cards. My friend bought me…read morea $30 gift card in October 2025 and the owner put an expiration date for Jan 2026. I thought she was just putting there as a courtesy and did not bother to ask thinking she would still honor it if just a few months late. Oh boy No. She declined the gift card when I went in Mar, only two months after the expiration date. My friend just basically gave her $30 and she took it without blinking. According to Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, Gift cards cannot expire for at least 5 years from purchase or last reload. Illinois even has stricter rule about it stating that retail gift cards generally cannot have an expiration date. If a card says it expires, that term is typically unenforceable in Illinois. I don't care how often you need to go threading your eyebrows, but 3-month expiration period for gift cards is illegal. I will be filing a complaint with Illinois Attorney General's Office Update: your terms and conditions on the gift card are ILLEGAL. I was not rude to your staff. You did not want to provide me the service so you asked your assistant to do my eyebrows to get me out of the door. I did not want to waste my friend's money so I accepted and tipped her well. The gift card is good for two services and you took it and said that's it. If I'd known this is illegal, I would have kept the gift card as evidence and refused your service.
