I have been going to J Salon for the past 3 years and there's a reason why I keep going back - their work is impeccable! I always leave admiring my nails, and because I get the strengthening manicure, my nails always last me 5+ weeks. Their prices are higher than other places I've seen but it truly reflects the work of the service and lifetime of the manicure. Their salon is always welcoming and everything is so clean. I will be getting married soon and can't wait to get my wedding nails done here too!
It was my first time visiting J Salon and I already cannot wait for my next appointment! The staff is so kind, the space is clean, and the service is just incredible. I showed up just a little early for my appointment and they sat me down and got to work immediately. I saw Angela for a Russian Manicure. I came in with a very old manicure and therefore some crazy nails and she fixed them up beautifully. I highly recommend you see her. I definitely recommend J Salon to anyone who is looking to get an amazing Russian Manicure, which I personally think is hard to find in Chicago!
Has been one of my favorite nail salons! I started coming when I moved to West Loop and it's constantly so professional, I have seen many of the staff and it's always great quality, very kind. Also my nails last soooo long - truly is 5-6 weeks and no breaks of nails/chipping.
I had a wonderful experience at J Salon with Asel and Viktoria. Both nail technicians are professional and attentive. The atmosphere is modern and inviting. I love my new look! I always leave taken care of :)
Love J Salon for Russian manicures! I'm always happy leaving the salon. Grateful I found the salon
The BEST Russian manicures in the area, with the best prices! I live in the suburbs about 40 minutes away and the drive is always worth it. I have never been disappointed with any of the nail techs and always appreciate how detailed they are.
It's been about three weeks since my first appointment with Valentyna at J Salon, and I felt compelled to come back and share an update. I genuinely cannot believe the growth and health of my nails in such a short time. I have never seen my natural nails this long or this strong, especially considering my history with nail biting and cuticle picking. And this transformation started after just one session with her! I went back for my second appointment, and the experience was just as exceptional. Valentyna put the same level of time, care, and intention into my manicure as she did the first. You can truly see it in the quality of her work, everything looks incredibly clean, polished, and thoughtfully done. Beyond the physical results, the impact she's had on my confidence is something I honestly struggle to put into words. I feel so much more comfortable and proud of my hands (sounds silly, but most women know!), which is something I never thought I'd say. I am beyond grateful to be Valentyna's client and feel so lucky to have found her. If you're on the fence, especially if you've ever felt self-conscious about your nails, I cannot recommend her enough.
I have been going to J Salon since September 2025 when I was searching for a salon that truly specializes in Russian manicures. J Salon provides the best, most top tier manicures I have ever received from any salon. I travel from the Chicago suburbs into the city every 4 to 5 weeks to get my nails done and it is worth it every single time! Taya is my manicurist and she is incredible! She is not only kind and friendly but also extremely talented at what she does. My nails come out perfect every single visit. J Salon also provides an experience that stands out from most salons I have been to. The space is very clean, the attention to detail is exceptional, and the customer service is wonderful! They offer everyone a drink after checking in and even hang up your coat during your appointment. I am so happy that I have found my forever nail salon at J Salon!
If you're looking for the best nail salon in the West Loop, J Salon is truly unmatched. I've been getting my nails done monthly for over 15 years, and this is by far the best salon I've ever been to and the healthiest my nails have ever been. The nail and cuticle work is absolutely amazing and incredibly precise. They take their time and pay attention to every tiny detail, and it shows. My nails have never looked better or felt better. They are the strongest they've ever been, and the results are always flawless and long-lasting. I consistently get 4+ weeks of wear with zero chips or lifting, which still amazes me. Every nail tech here is highly skilled, creative, patient, and truly passionate about what they do. They're happy to give ideas if you're unsure, but can also flawlessly recreate any inspiration photo you bring in. The talent level across the board is incredible. Some of my personal favorites are Taya, Mary, Tori, and Nilyusha, but honestly you can't go wrong with any technician every single one is amazing and highly talented. Beyond the quality of the work, the entire salon is warm and professional. You feel welcomed, cared for, and completely confident you're in expert hands. I recommend J Salon to everyone I know without hesitation. If you care about beautiful, healthy, strong nails that last, this is the place.
I can't say enough good things about Mariana and J Salon. For over a year, Mariana has taken exceptional care of my nails, and the difference is undeniable. Her Russian manicure technique has completely transformed the health of my nails; stronger overall, incredibly clean nail beds and cuticles, and consistently beautiful results. She also truly understands a classic red, almond-shaped nail and executes it perfectly every time. Beyond her technical skill, Mariana is kind, efficient, responsive to feedback, and deeply trustworthy. She takes pride in her work and it shows. My manicures last a solid four weeks, and honestly, I could easily push them another week if needed. More often than not, I'm still getting compliments on my nails the very day I'm heading in for my next appointment. Mariana is also navigating an exciting life change, and I've been so impressed by how proactive and thoughtful she's been, clearly communicating her timeline and genuinely supporting me in transitioning to another nail tech at J Salon. That level of care says everything about her professionalism and character. I've referred countless women to J Salon, and every one of them has been impressed. The space itself is bright, airy, and immaculately clean, with plenty of room for both clients and nail techs to feel comfortable and unrushed during appointments. I already have my appointments booked through July and highly recommend J Salon to anyone who truly invests in their nails and nail health. Book ahead months ahead if you can. They are worth every penny, and I'm so grateful I found them over a year ago. I am only two days into my new nails and I'm already collecting compliments. Thank you, Mariana!

Best nail salon in Chicago hands down!! The salon is incredibly clean and all the staff are so professional. The quality of service here is unmatched and my nails have never looked better. I've never had manicures that last as long as my ones do from J Salon. Great selection of colors and they can do all kinds of designs. read more

J Salon never disappoints. I had a wonderful experience with Dasha who did a gel Mani Pedi. I'm absolutely obsessed with the colors and the customer service. As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by a very kind check in person at the check-in desk and then they offer you a beverage while you wait in the seated area. Every time I come, they're always adding new and better equipment. The services are incredibly clean, and relaxing. Try this place once and it's hard to ever go anywhere else! read more

I have had an amazing experience at J salon everytime I go! I've been going for the past year, and have seen a few different technicians, and have had an amazing experience every time. I've gone to both Valentina & Nilyusha and was impressed by their attention to detail and perfectionism. Will continue to go here! read more

I've been coming to J salon for a little over 3 years now and they have never disappointed! The updates they've been making over the past year have made it even greater (didn't even think it was possible). Upon entering, you're kindly greeted and offered an array of refreshment options. Once seated, each station is equipped with a bag holder and phone stand which makes for seamless use of your phone during your service. There're also TV's that each play something different so there's something for everyone. I've also never been to a salon that paid such great attention to cleanliness, especially with all the foot traffic they have you can tell sterilization is at the top of their priorities. I've seen most of the techs and they're all great. An honorable mention though is Mariia who pays wonderful attention to detail which allows for great longevity. I'm able to come in every 4-5 weeks and even then my nails are still going strong. I've also never had a Russian pedicure prior to coming to J Salon and it's safe to say I'll never be going back to regular ones. Overall, if you're looking for great quality, a relaxing vibe, and to walk out with a smile on your face, this is the place to go! read more

I've been coming here for nearly four years and absolutely love it. I try out new service places often, but I always come back because the quality is truly unmatched. From the moment you walk in, they offer you a drink and get you seated with your nail tech right away, which sets the tone for a great experience. Even a basic color takes an hour or more because of how detailed and thorough the service is. I've recommended this place to at least five people, and they are all regulars now too. Every top technician I've worked with has been amazing, and if you want a specific design, you can always ask ahead of time to make sure the right tech is available. I love this place and can't recommend it enough. read more

NAB Beauty & Spa is a super cute salon that offers waterless manicures and pedicures. I had heard great things about their Russian manicures, but it wasn't a really great experience for me. My actual service was nice and relaxing and I had a tech that took her time, which was appreciated. I got my manicure done with Dazzle Dry and loved that they had so many different colors to choose from. I found the Russian manicure to be a little uncomfortable as my cuticles got a little cut up and I bled a few times. I loved how my cuticles looked at the end though, so maybe it just isn't the right service for my sensitive skin. I was a little disappointed by the end result of my manicure, as the polish wasn't applied all the way to the sides and base of my nails, but unfortunately didn't notice until I was already on my way home. I left for vacation the next day and my polish had already started to chip, so I ended up having to take it off. I love the idea of a Russian manicure, so I think I may give NAB another shot in the future. The salon is beautiful and the staff are all very friendly, so maybe a different color would have better results. read more
