What a way to start my Sunday. Sara was amazing!!!! She did my pedicure and manicure. Upgraded pedicure that included a mask treatment and a paraffin. Then a dazzle manicure. Very detailed in all treatments. Even had a sparkling water. read more

Sara was incredibly rude. I called and made an appointment and she was rushing through my nails and was complaining the whole time. I told them on the phone I wanted to get overlay removed and I specifically said I didn't know what was on my nails and I said it was a powder and the woman on the phone said "probably acrylic" and I said "probably but I'm not sure" then she said I could come in right now. It took me two minutes to get there since I live so close. Yet the entire time Sara was doing my nails she a was frantic and looking at the clock and when I asked how it was coming off instead of just answering she goes "if you had acrylic you should have just said you had acrylic! Not gel!" Never once on the phone did I even mention gel let alone say I had gel on. I even said I could have come a different time if you were going to be in such a rush. Idk why they said I could come now. Such a bad vibe from her the entire 30min she was doing my nails. Then I was happy to be done with her and enjoy a relaxing pedicure. Well that didn't happen. Sammi said I booked a regular polish appointment yet when I called all I said was I wanted to get my toes done and no other questions were asked! Then she said I could pick out a regular polish if I wanted a pedicure and she didn't have time for gel. Would never come back here or recommend it. There's a lot better places in Park Ridge that respect the customer and make them feel welcomed. Such a weird and disappointing experience since I was excited to try a salon so close to my house. read more

I've been coming here for several years and the service is usually excellent. My last couple visits for spa pedicures have been just okay. It used to be that the nail technician would help you from the chairs and to the sitting area while your nails dryed. They would check on you again to spray the drying solution on your nails, help you remove the toe spacers, and put on your own sandals. This no longer seems to be the case. My feet are often slippery after the treatment which makes it difficult to get out of the chairs (which are very close to the bowls) and down the steps without assistance. I'll definitely come back one more time and hope things are back to the original excellent service read more

Walked in at 5:55--first time there, and definitely the last. I get that they close at 7, but the energy was immediately frustrated and rigid. I asked for a mani-pedi and was told only one service, no flexibility. Even after explaining I fly out tomorrow and actually needed this for my trip, there was no effort to accommodate--just a hard no. I ended up settling for a pedicure and a basic manicure instead of the no-chip I came in for. Not because it worked for me, but because it was the only option. Not mad about policies. Just the attitude. Service should feel like service--not inconvenience. read more

First time here first time wearing gel tips. I'm the indecisive low maintenance kind of person but I wanted to try gelx so I brought some nail designs and Ally was patient with me (I went back forth many times ). Nails came out cute I'm just trying to get used to them definitely would come back! Thanks Ally ! read more

It was my third time here getting a manicure and I've been happy every time! Sammi did my no chip manicure. She was efficient, but was so precise with each part of the process. Very pleasant experience. Nice clean salon. Good OPI color choices. Recommend! read more

Lacquer Lounge Nail Spa - No chip manicure with OPI Bubble Bath - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I needed a quick manicure for a work event and was able to get a same day appointment at Lacquer Lounge Nail Spa. Their website is easy to navigate, and I was able to schedule my appointment in less than 5 minutes. The salon itself is actually really nice. It's practically spotless and decorated beautifully. It's a very relaxing atmosphere in general. I arrived about 20 minutes early, and when I walked in, I wasn't really greeted or directed anywhere. I understand the estheticians were preoccupied with other customers, but a quick turn and "hello" or a simple acknowledgement would have made it a lot less awkward. After standing around for what felt like forever, I decided to just go in and pick my color. My manicure was great. It was quick and done exactly how I wanted. One slight annoyance was the lack of drying machines. I'm used to having the ability to sit under the dryer and walk out without having to worry about my nails getting ruined, but unfortunately, Lacquer Lounge did not have those tables. It's not at all an issue, but just keep that in mind if that is something you're looking for. There's street parking right outside and I believe there is another pay to park parking lot on the opposite side. Overall it was an okay experience and this nail salon is definitely great for the area! read more

I just had a very disappointing experience at the Park Ridge location where I was charged an extra $10 to have polish removed. When I booked the appointment, there was no where to select that I needed polish removed for a Dazzle Dry manicure. They added the charge on without notifying me. I called to express my disappointment at their customer service and was told I made the mistake! All I was looking for was some validation about my experience and they turned the bad experience on me! I will NOT be going back to Lacquer Lounge and anyone reading this should consider not going there either. read more

First time trying Lacquer! Cute little space with plenty of street parking available. Seems like a lot of regulars in the area come because it was busy and they all seemed friendly with their customers. I booked a classic, regular mani and pedi which runs $60. Gina was great, professional, and had great attention to detail. She did a wonderful job with my toes and nails. I have a broken toe nail which usually requires glue or a patch, but she felt inclined that I didn't need it which was interesting. That toe nail looked great when she finished though! I like this cute salon, but a few things threw me off: 1) they don't use heel graters; I read a review that said it's illegal to do so which is interesting 2) no massage chairs for pedicures 3) no drying machines, just a couch and spray. Staff is super friendly, space and salon is clean. The the above reasons would prevent me from coming back or making this my staple salon for my pedicures but everything else was fabulous. Would still recommend if you don't mind the above reasons! CASH ONLY for tips or you can venmo the assistant. read more

Lacquer Lounge Nail Spa - Regular manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

Always a great experience here. This is the only place I go to for manicures and pedicures.

I've been a customer for about 2.5 yrs. I always have a positive experience here and never feel rushed. The salon has a relaxing feel and is clean - I appreciate they don't have jets in the pedi bowls which is more hygienic. So many OPI colors it's often hard to choose which one to get! All the nail techs are so talented yet quiet which could come off as rude but I think they're just shy. The receptionist is so sweet and does her job so upon walking in she is sometimes on the phone making appts or running around assisting where needed. They have online booking which makes it easier for me to make my appointments at any time without having to call during business hours. The one thing I wish they had is massage chairs at the pedi stations. read more

Very easy to make an appointment. Have been there twice now and received complete satisfaction from the beautiful job done by Michele and Emily. read more

Hmmmm....service was okay. Didn't like that I wasnt offered to tip on a CC and wanted me to QR a zelle tip...very strange. Accidently booked the wrong appt and asked to change it. It would have been a 15 min difference. They made a big deal in out of it, while the tech was doing her own nails at a station. In the meantime, they took a walk in. So I am not sure why a 15 min change in appt was a big deal. read more

Super happy with my experience here! I recently moved, and became desperate when it was time for vacation and I needed to find a nail salon near me that had great review. Enter Lacquer Lounge. This will forever be my go to spot! The space is feminine, with hues of cream, gold and blush, and extremely calm. Even with other clients getting services, I felt relaxed and not at all rushed, making it a truly enjoyable experience. There are plenty of color options, and they're organized by shade, which is another huge plus for me! My appointment started right on time, was extremely clean, and I left feeling (and looking!) fantastic. Like I said, this will be my salon from here on out! Highly recommend. read more

I've tried a lot of nail places around Park Ridge and NW Chicago and Laquer Lounge in Park Ridge is absolutely the best. The attached image is from my regular nail polish, almost 5 DAYS after I got them done. Still perfect despite the fact that I clean, cook, and garden a lot. I don't get them to last that long always, and it probably depends on what color and/or which technician does them, but they always last far longer than any other place I've tried. read more

I have been with Oyuka for two and half (2.5) years. I didn't use to get my nails done, but I felt having a pair of manicured-hands would be important, for I worked luxury retail in the past and now web fulfillment that I utilize my hands heavily on pulling orders, lifting boxes, and packing. I found Oyuka via Yelp and NEVER looked for another nail salon ever since. She's very hard-working, and you can call her a perfectionist if you want. However, in this business she's made for doing what she is doing now. I'm very happy to see that her salon has expanded and upgraded to be where she's at. "Lacquer Lounge Nail Spa" has four (4) manicure and pedicure stations. Therefore, it's still intimate just like her old "M Nails Studio," but she's got space to truly accept walk-ins when she or other staff is able to take them. In addition, her spa pedicure is very thorough. Oyuka takes time to connect with me while massaging my feet and part of my legs. The paraffin treatment is always a nice touch. She doesn't rush her steps; she takes her time. By the same token, don't expect getting in and out of the salon fast. If you want to use the time to relax, SHE'S GOT YOU! Oyuka's no-chip can last. Mine often look clean after three (3) weeks until the nails really grow out. She has high standard and does her job 100% each time. I know many of you don't go to a nail salon and intend to build a long-lasting relationship or friendship with your nail tech. Nevertheless, Oyuka is not only my nail lady, but also a friend of mine. Oyuka cares for her clients and you can definitely tell. Once again, I'm glad she secured herself a larger place for her business because she certainly deserves it. One thing I must say is that her prices are higher than most of the competitions in the city and burbs. I'm willing to pay for quality work and a very clean venue where the work is performed. read more

I visited the salon in October to scope it out based on the positive reviews. The salon did not disappoint! I dread going to nail salons because of all the chatter, the loud TV and the customers who choose to speak on the phone their entire appointments. This salon is the definition of relaxation. It is quiet, serene and the music helps set the mood. Everyone is there to relax and leave with a beautiful manicure/pedicure. I highly recommend the Milk/Honey Spa Pedicure. There are plenty of color choices. Regulars know that once you walk in you are expected to walk directly towards the bathroom (the back of the salon) and wash your hands before you check-in for your appointment. I know this now as I will be coming here for all nail appointments going forward. read more

I came here for a mani/pedi the day before my wedding, and I had a great experience! The salon is a clean, well-lit, and generally relaxing space. My nail artist did a great job giving me the purple sparkly look I was hoping for. I also loved that I was able to book online. I would definitely return! read more

Lacquer Lounge Nail Spa - No chip manicure color was "do you take the lei away" - Nail Salons Near Me - Park Ridge, Illinois

I can't say I ever wanted to fall asleep during a service, but here I did yet in a good way! I was so relaxed :) funny thing is... it was only a manicure. The environment, comfort and gentle technique of the manicure had me so relaxed that I wanted to take a little cat nap sitting up. My nail tech did an excellent job on my no chip manicure. She also did the removal of the previous no chip manicure and it was a pleasant surprise to have her not use the electric filer to remove my polish. Place is tidy, covid cautious, nail techs are very professional and kind. Well organized and an efficiently run business. Few options to pay which is nice: cash, Venmo and credit card. Highly recommend and I'll be back for more services. read more

I was really hoping this was going to be new spot to get my nails taken care of. It is a cute space in a nice and accessible area, but this was probably the worst no chip manicure and pedicure I've had since moving to Chicago. My nails chipped after 4 days, the morning of a big event, and the pedicure was not great either. I had yo ask my tech to clean up the edges so that it wouldn't lift and she dropped the towel my feet were on on the floor 3 times and never replaced it. For spending $90, I'm pretty disappointed and I won't be back. read more

I had a No Chip pedicure. She did a very nice job. Next time I will be sure to get a massage as well.

This is the only nail salon I will continue going to. It is clean, quiet, and peaceful. There is street parking all around the salon. The workers are all great and do an amazing job. I got the no chip manicure/spa pedicure combo. The spa pedicure was the best pedicure I've ever received in my life. They have an option of milk and honey or lavender, I chose the lavender. They have a wide variety of colors to choose from for both no chip and regular nails. Pricing is fair as well. I will for sure be coming back here. read more

Meh. Mediocre pedicure today. Heels are still totally rough. Didn't use the scraper tool at all. Cut my toe. Leg massage lasted about 2 minutes. I'd pass. read more

I'm sorry but this was the strangest nail salon I've been to. The pedicure is just a bowl with warm water. No jets. Sit in a normal sofa chair. No massager. And there's no nail drying station... you have to sit on the couch in the waiting area while your toes dry.... Weird. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It's been 3 years since I've begun my relationship with Oyuka and I always leave 100% satisfied ! Lacquer main focus is on cleanliness and health. The ambience here is top notch.

First time in today and I really enjoyed it, super cute vibes and I loved that it wasn't a huge overwhelming nail salon with music and TVs blasting. Helen was my nail tech and she did a great job, no rush whatsoever and super sweet. I got a no chip pedicure which was perfect, wasn't to long or to short. She got the job done just perfectly for a better price than most places I've been, I found my new regular nail place read more

Never received better nail service than I have here. Each tech is better than the next. I cannot say enough good things. Such a wonderful business I feel compelled to share the word, but selfishly don't want to have trouble getting an appointment. A million stars!!! read more

Seriously the best! My nails last for over a week and it's just a regular manicure. Plus, they are so sweet.

Very chic, clean, and comfortable. After having a baby (8 months ago), I was longggg overdue for a pedi mani. I went with a girlfriend of mine and had the best time. I'm VERY ticklish and I warned the nail tech beforehand cuz I didn't know how uncontrollable/annoying my laughter would get. She was so sweet and accommodating. Even picking out the color was a process for me (I wanted to make the most out of this girls day so I was being extra picky) and they helped easily without making me feel like a jerk. I highly recommend it. It was pricier than most places but so be it. It was well worth it and my hands and feet can vouch for that! read more

This is by far the best place to get a manicure in the Chicago area. I moved over 45 minutes away but still drive to Park Ridge every two weeks for a manicure. The girls pay such attention to detail. If you notice something like a smudge, they are quick to fix it and they fix it well. And this attention to detail makes the manicure last AT LEAST 2 weeks. When my husband proposed it was after a 3 week trip to Italy while on a week long trip to Yellowstone. I was comfortable taking pictures because my no chip was still perfect (just a little grown out)!!! It is also not like those walk in salons, there is no drying station, just comfy couches; there are no bulky pedicure stations, just stylish couches and bowls. Each visit is an experience and like a visit to a friend's house. It does not smell like a typical nail salon either because they don't use acrylic products. The manicurists will have a conversation with you rather than the co-worker besides them. It really is a place where how you are treated is important. The owner makes it part of new employee training. They will also try different techniques to help your nails be as healthy and long as possible. They stopped soaking my nails because it caused the polish to peel once my nails dried, and now they only file my nails because it helps them not break. My nails have never looked better- and it is my natural nail not a thick fake looking acrylic set! read more
