I have been going to this nail salon since 2020 (6 years). They are by appointment only but easy to call and schedule. I like Spring as my nail tech. My gel nails always last 3 weeks. The salon isn't fancy or luxurious but they always do a great job for an affordable price. Couldn't recommend them more. read more

Service was amazing. I went to Ann and she was super kind and accommodating. I went for a no chip pedicure but last minute decided to also get a no chip manicure. The prices are VERY fair. Bring cash if possible! There's a fee on credit cards read more

CUT MY CUTICLES OFF... I told them not to do it on the other hand, it makes your nails more prone to infection. Also illegal in the state of Illinois... 3-6 months to grow back and is considered a medical procedure..will not be going back read more

We had a great experience at Lakeview nails today! My two tween daughters got their nails done with designs. The staff looked at pictures of what they wanted and worked very hard to make sure it was exactly as they pictured. Staff was very kind! read more

This was the best pedicure I've ever had hands down. It's been 2 weeks as well and they still look fresh. I only purchased the most basic pedicure as well and it was an hour long, super detailed, hot towels, massage, etc. and it was not expensive at all. Great place and staff! read more

Incredible experience! I got a no-chip gel manicure, and am so happy with it. The manicure itself was very quick and high quality. I spent 45 minutes really scrubbing dishes this morning, and my nails did not get a single chip! I would recommend bringing cash for the tip, as that is preferred. read more

They have the best prices in the city, and my nails always look great when I come here. I just went on Thursday, and I think this was the best dip manicure I've had yet. The artist Darlene did an incredible job, and these nails are the perfect shape and thickness. I just keep coming back here!! read more

I got a full set and it was really bad. First I left and when I got home my nails were sticky so I had to go back because they forgot the top coat. Like what?? Then not even within a week my extensions fall off at work. what? Will not be returning. I was even told after when I returned for the top coat by the manager that I needed a manicure like didn't you just give me one?!?!? read more

I have been coming here for over a year! I always feel welcome and my nails turn out great. My dip lasts for up to 6 weeks and they always are able to fit me in for an appointment. Great prices and a punchcard system. read more

So ... great place if you can get in BUT ... apparently regulars are no longer welcomed ... after trying repeatedly ... awww ...

I've been coming for the last 4 years, for a no chip and always have a nice manicure no matter who does my nails. After coming for so long, sometimes I feel like I need to change it up to see what other salons can offer. I always regret that decision and I just keep coming back. Pros: 1) Lynn, is very sweet and always makes you feel welcome and taken care of. 2) Fast, attentive, and clean 3) They do their best to stay on time for your appt. No walk-ins at this point in time, appt only. I also recently got into dip and my nails have never been stronger and every time I get them done I'm completely in awe. 100% would recommend. read more

I've been seeing Linh for acrylics since 2017 (so 5+ years). I LOVE her and all staff at this salon. Linh is so patient & kind. She takes her time shaping nails and always helps me choose a color. I always look forward to seeing her and getting to relax and chat- or not chat if I'm not up to it. Either works with Linh! She's usually very busy but all other staff are wonderful, too. I highly suggest Lakeview Nails read more

Got a mani/pedi. The manicure was alright but my god the woman doing my pedicure was so rough around my nails. When she was painting and the paint would go past the nail into the nail fold a little bit, rather than using a piece of equipment dipped in remover to remove the excess paint she used used her nails to dig into my nail folds and scoop the paint out. It was so painful and probably also highly unsanitary for her nails to be digging under mine. I jerked and said ow, and she still continued as it was. The skin around my toe nails are now looking red sore and puffy. I won't be going back. read more

Mani/pedi Excellent service, very clean, took their time and they were very thorough. read more

I just finished getting a full set from Linh and it's PERFECT. She did an excellent job and checked in with me through out the process to make sure I was enjoying it. Definitely coming back. read more

I walked in and asked for a pedicure. In a nail salon whose business is 99% no-chip manicures, all the ladies in the place swung their heads around and looked at me in that same manner as in the movies of the wild wild west, where the gunslinger enters a saloon and the piano player stops playing. I am not kidding--I was the only guy in a place where at least 8 women were getting manicures and no one was in a pedicure chair. And that should've been foreboding. The pedicure was ok. No frills--no scented foot soak, no foofy-foo three-layer lotion treatments. The basic $25 service provides cuticle work, callous buffing, nail trimming, a quick lotion rub down and one of those beat-your-feet-and-legs-type massage. Nothing special. My pedicurist did a nice job but didn't speak a lick of English. I also question their cleanliness. Do they sanitize the pedicure bathtubs afterward? Maybe. They also need to work on their appearance (see my photo of the controller taped to the chair). read more

Meh...had a no chip mani there yesterday and was very underwhelmed. The lady who did my nails was extremely rough - I think if you yell "ouch ouch" more than three times during one procedure, it's kind of a red flag. My fingers are still hurting from all the filing she'd done. Also, had to tell her all least four times that I'd prefer my nail tips short and approximately equal length (should be pretty self-explanatory). The whole process took well over an hour (I have mani every 3 weeks, and I removed all nail polish before coming in). Don't think I'll be back. read more

Great dip manicure, they really make sure that you are getting exactly what you want and do a quality job. Everyone who works here is so nice, def my favorite salon. It gets busy so make sure to call ahead read more

Four star review for remedying my nail situation! At first, I wasn't happy with the uneven shape of my nails, but she re-filed a few times to get them right. Then, I asked if the color I chose was sheer and she said no. However, after a few coats I could tell it was definitely sheer. She helped me pick out a new color as a base and layering the shimmer over the top. It was exactly what I was looking for! read more

My nail tech put a lot of effort into making my nails look exactly the way I wanted her to. She make a good amount of adjustments and was patient with me despite how particular I was. Nails were not very expensive. A full set with mail extensions and a design ran me 65. Pretty fantastic considering Chicago prices:) read more

Very kind staff and great detail to nails. Only have gone for manicures so far but have not been let down once.
