Been getting my nails done here for over 10 years. Service was great but has gone down . A no-chip shouldn't chip after 2 days.

Cindy is the best! I've been A customer for years. Cindy takes her time to make sure my nails and pedicure are exactly what I'm asking for. I'm always able to get an appointment with her. Not only is this salon clean, all the staff are kind and accommodating to my needs. I recommend my friends and family all the time. read more

Ive been a random patron of this place over the years, and consistently was disappointed in the quality of the work. My whole family goes here, so I thought maybe one day I would actually get a good mani-pedi. I don't like anything too fancy, and usually just like my hands cleaned up and cut very short and painted clear. They always give me a hard time and always are insisting that I get tips or gels. I always decline, and they rush through my mani, and my nails are always chipped by the next day. Now onto the real disaster... I went to Lee for a party where we all got our mani-pedi's. We had a blast by ourselves, and then the nail technicians came up. My sisters nail tech kept yelling at her about her cuticles. My other sisters nail tech kept being very rude to her and made everyone feel uncomfortable. My nail tech was quiet, but cut my cuticle on my hand and made me bleed once. My sister noticed that when they go crazy with the skin razor on your heels that they pull a tray out from under the pedicure station where they catch the skin. She said it was disgusting and they don't empty it, and they just push it back under the chair when they are done. Piles of skin sitting under a pedi station is just not sanitary. On top of that, the tools they use do not seem so sanitary. I left my party and a few days later I saw a strange white spot under my finger nail. Then my whole nail from that spot started to fall off!!! I finally went to a higher end nail salon where I was told that I had either had a nail fungus from Lee or that they had damaged my nail bed. Needless to say- this was my last trip to Lee nails ever again. read more

This place isn't too far from my apartment, so I thought I'd give them a try. I stopped by one Sunday afternoon for a manicure and pedicure. I ended up getting a male nail tech, which was a first for me. Still, I don't discriminate, so I hopped up in the chair and tried to relax while soaking my feet. Unfortunately, this guy kept trying to chat with me, which I found rather annoying. Like, HELLO..... I'm trying to watch Geraldo. Anyway, he eventually got the hint and just focused on my feet. Except then, I thought maybe he was focusing on my feet a little TOO much as he gave me a foot massage that seemed to last a little longer than necessary. But there are worse things, I guess, weirdness factor aside, so I just let it go. After a basic french pedi, he did my nails. He seemed totally confused when I asked him to make my nails shorter (my job requires a LOT of typing) and almost begrudgingly obliged me. Whatever. He then he proceeds to trim my nails in possibly the most piss-poor manner possible. Seriously, about two weeks after visiting this place, I had hangnails on 8 out of 10 fingers. NOT GOOD. I decided on a french manicure to match my pedi. It looked decent enough, with the exception of the bubbles in my polish. Grrrr. I won't be back. Which is too bad, since it's close to where I live. read more

The only reason why i'm going to this place is becauase I don't have a lot of time today and I really need my nails done, otherwise I'd make the journey to somewhere else. And that Sunday Nails place a few more blocks down East, they suck ass too.-Rude assholes... Anyway, Lee Nails. They pull my cuticle on my big toe and the lady said, "Beauty is pain" and I almost kicked her in the fucking face. Then me and my boyfriend went. I thought I'd surprise him with getting his toes manicured. (yea, some guys like that. My bf loves being pampered) anyway, She said, Clear nail polish or buffer? and i said "Buffer" and she said, "buffer?" and I said no clear polish, two totally different words, right? and she said, "Buffer?" and I said, what the hell, yea buffer. And turns out she charged us EXTRA $5 for that damn buffer. Like I said, I don't wanna go, but have to due to time constraint. read more

Went for my 1st time ever pedi. After many races I just needed one. It was well worth it and I LOVED it!! Went a 2nd time to have the same experience. Couldn't say I did The lady(different from 1st time) was ok, but became annoying after giggling & speaking her language to someone else then looking at me. Very rude ,I must say. Who knows what they were talking about? My toes? It's their specialty. Though it was my first time, I did keep up with my toes. Anyways, I decided to get a full set of nails too cause the Blackhawks had me at the edge of my seat and... my nails. Ughh! Just thinking about it upsets me again. My Acrylic nails were not cleaned underneath, buffed for a smooth finish, they were polished beforehand & the result of them were not great. Got home & cleaned them up. Noticed they looked scratched (of course, they were filed but not buffed). After 3days I noticed the top part near the cuticle was already coming out, as if needing a "fill in" I just got these!!! Not going there for a fill in that's for sure. ...new search! read more

Lee Nails - ...the result only after 3days. Unbelievable! Onto a search again... "Sad face" - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love every time I go to Lee Nails my specialist is Guitar, she is sweet genuine and her work is outstanding. I've been going there for a very long time, years and the atmosphere is wonderful, all the ladies are very genuine and friendly. read more

Tatiana is the best Nail technician!!! Her work is flawless and designs are amazing!!! I never miss an appointment!

I only came to this nail salon because it's near my job and decided to give it a try. They have a ton of no-chip colors but when you actually see the colors in the fake nail roller where you choose your color(s) is way off! They don't even match. I went in for a repair because I was going out for the evening and couldn't get to my regular nail salon. The guy who did my nail repair has NO idea why he is doing. My nail is SO chunky I am posting a picture of it because it's disgusting! Will never go here again, I told him how ugly it looked and still charged me $5! Never again read more

Lee nails never fails to provide amazing service in a timely manner at an amazing price! I've been to so many nail salons in the city and Lee Nails is still my favorite. The staff is super friendly and I never have to wait long to be seated. Their new pedicure chairs are super comfortable and they feature a USB port so you can charge your phone which is super convenient. I told Rosa what I was wearing for an event and let her have full artistic reign and she definitely delivered beyond my expectations. I absolutely love my nails and would recommend Lee nails to anybody looking for an amazing experience. read more

The place looks clean, 5 STARS!! But... the manicure I received was absolutely wretched. It's like they completely skipped the buffing step and I am staring at the ridges on my nails as I type. Mind you, I did point out the annoying ridges on my nails and how I'd like to see them disappear!! Oh and I had the pleasure of watching in horror as they poured accetone in my brand new $8 bottle of Essie polish (I always bring my own in case the salon doesn't have a shade I want). Their polish selection was used up, dried out and out of date. You will not find the current line of Essie and OPI polishes here. read more

Just save your money and go somewhere else. Sloppy job on no-chip. Basically at this place if you don't book with Rosa then you're 50/50 set up to have a mediocre experience. Gave two stars since I've seen Rosa before and she did a great job. However, as an overall business their employees need training. read more

Go to NAILED AT SKOKIE! I used to go to this nail salon & I am NEVER GOING BACK. Their employees have the worst customer service ever! Plus they rush through the job & whenever they mess up on something, for example) the size of the nail. They will blame you And tell you that you have crooked fingers HAHA. The last time I went here they were talking rudely about a customer and calling her crazy. Honestly getting services from this nail salon is not a nice relaxing time. I like to have "ME TIME" when I get my nails done and de stress but that's not something you'll do here. You'll end up leaving even more aggravated than when you walked through the door read more

This place isn't too far from my condo, so I thought I'd stop in. I went there on a Friday and it was packed with waiting people. I wanted to turn around but stayed, because the wait was about 30 min's long. I got my eyebrows waxed and they kept asking if I wanted anything else. I managed to get out of there without getting suckered into any specials of the day. It's been about 6 months and I keep going back. I got my nails done there once. I would never do it again. I told the guy that I was a chef and that my nails needed to be very short. All I wanted was acrylic fullest. I walked out of there with long $50 nails. The people that work there are nice but they could work a little more on their people skills. It's a nice place to go check out and see if it works for you! read more

I've got mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, the ambience is much nicer than many of this kind of nail place. It's clean with a somewhat cohesive decor. As soon as I walk in, they take care of me...and the service is quite attentive. On the other hand, my manicurist was a little rough. I realize that with the language barrier, it's standard to just slap my leg to tell me to put it back in the water, but this gal was not pulling punches. The foot/leg massage portion was woefully short (I'm giving a jealous sideways glance at another review that complains about the massage being too long!). Also, at some point another customer tried to get my manicurist's attention, and this really seemed to bug the manicurist. I'm not sure if she felt like I didn't understand her (I did), but she kept repeating how I was her customer, and she was focused on me. And then proceeded to keep repeating that when I come back, I should ask for her...I mean, she literally said this at least 8 times, and I felt obligated to comfort her. She did a good job, and I may return to give her another chance, but I'm not optimistic. It's kind of a lot of pressure, ya know? read more

I enjoy coming to Lee Nails with my wife for my pedicure! They just had all their pedi stations replaced and they are the greatest! I always leave here feeling fresh and great! Thank you to all the staff here! read more

Lee Nails - My beautiful man feet! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came across this place randomly and was VERY impressed! Great space, equipment, services. So many places charge for a pedicure when all you're really getting is a polish change with some foot soaking and half-hearted leg rub. This was real nail care, real pressure point massage, and expertly applied polish! read more

So this is a not so bad place, however it is very easy to get the wrong girl! I always ask for Hannah for either manicures or eyebrow waxing, Sandra, if she is still there also does a wonderful job! Cheap place, great color selection, sometimes there is a really long wait, even if you have an appointment. So when its finally my turn, I do feel sometimes that the speed through just to get to the next person, except for Hannah and her girlfriend, they take their time, do it right and not to mention they are just really wonderful people :) read more

Lee Nails - Love my nails!! Rosa is the best! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Like a factory...very disconnected to me...no one smiling, no one having conversations, just creepy for a salon. My manicurist never smiled once and seemed almost offended when I tipped her (20%) I will never go here again. Bad experience read more

Place is clean and welcoming. Although I very much enjoyed my conversation with my nail tech (gentleman that sits closest to the door), my no-chip manicure was chipping off by day 6 and now on day 8, 1 finger nail is completely bare. Probably my most short-lived no-chip mani which made me want to write this review. read more

You barley take 3 steps into the place and either the owner's daughter or some nail tech yells "Pick a color!". No "How may we help you?" or even a friendly "Hello". One of the guys who sits near the back has ZERO customer service skills, he spent the whole time looking down and barley acknowledged me. He cut my skin while filing too hard and didn't even apologize. They all speak loudly in another language to each while doing your nails which is also extremely rude. If i'm paying for a service it would be nice to have the persons attention and NOT be treated like CATTLE upon arrival. This used to be my go to nail salon, I used to send may friends and coworkers here. We even had many parties up in the party room upstairs. After seeing how much this place has changed, I no longer recommend this place to ANYONE! It seems like the workers only act friendly when the owner Jenny is around. Please train your whole staff including your daughter how to properly greet and welcome customers. Yelling PICK A COLOR is not acceptable to anyone. read more

Love love love! It is def my go to place, they always do a great job and the girls there are always very talkative and polite I got a no chip for 35$ , which is what a no chip regularly is. Many colors to choose from for your no chip. Excellent place! read more

This was my first time visiting Lee Nails. I went in to soak off my no chip manicure and to get a regular mani to give my nails a break from gel. Before the tech wrapped my nails she grabbed the electric nail file drill to file the top of my nails. I don't understand why she did that. Every salon I visit just wraps my nails and let them do its own thing. The other tech who did the polish was exceptional. I removed my regular polish today and I am devastated. My nails have many dents on them from the file drill. They look like someone took a knife and went over each nail. I'm so disappointed. It's going to take months for nails to get back to normal. I won't be going back. read more

Don't go to this place. They have different workers all the time, and some of them aren't even qualified to do nails. I came here recently and got a no-chip. My no-chip only lasted TWO days, due to a poor job. Also, as soon as you walk in the door employees start rushing you to choose a color. I understand they're trying to make business, but It's my experience. I won't be coming here anymore. read more

Lee Nails - mini Pedicure and manicure in a kids special chair - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I will literally never go to this place again. The guy who did my nails was horrible and had no customer service skills. He snatched the no chip colors out of my hand while I was still looking at them.. ummm ok. He damn near filed my skin down instead of my nail and obviously an "ouch" or me pulling my hand back wasn't good enough. He was extremely rough. After my nails were done I looked at them and told him my nail was messed up. He literally snatched my hand and said it wasn't and with attitude began to fix it. My friend and I asked him a question and he ignored us. Oh and he also told me that I'm supposed to tell him before he put lotion on me that my nails were messed up. Ummm I thought that was his job. Again I will never go back there. It was a skinny guy who had a black watch on and glasses and headphones I think. He literally got no tip from me and I don't feel bad. read more

Never bother for DIPPING nails here! I gave them 2 tries. Both were horrible experiences. They tried short cuts and it never turned out right. Second time the man tried put acrylic style using the dipping power. Telling me it's all in my not liking acrylic and the shaving of nails; he knows what he was doing. I ended going back up the next day and 2 separate days after because polish would chip off. I decided to remove the whole thing. They looked terrible polish was peeling. The girl damaged my nails while trying to remove the mess the man did. Never again. My daughter gave them 2 tries also. At different days then when I went. Same situation. What's worst is my daughter went back next day and again 2 days later. She decided to remove it and they charged her full price for gel. What is horrible is they do not know what they are doing when it comes to Dipping Nails. Experimenting on the Dipping Nails but charging 45.00 as if they know. I truly believe they are experimenting and shouldn't be charging full price. When I went back to remove it within a week because I was tiered of coming 3 consecutive days to repair 1 nail each time. They still charged full price for my manicure. They won't admit to not having the knowledge for the job or not caring to satisfying the customers. As long as that money comes in they smile and nod their heads. We have been going there for years. Bu Never again. I have friends that go elsewhere for Dipping Nails and that's where I will go from now on. read more

This is probably the only place I go and I trust to go for amazing looking nails. I've gotten regular no chip manis here but I've recently gotten powder with an additional tip for length. Rosa is the best! She is very professional and knowledgeable with their products. I've gotten my nails done by 3 different employees here and I've always been happy with the results. They recently renovated. It's very clean inside. They are always busy which is always a good sign. Must mean they're good at what they do! Which is very true. I'd definitely give this place a try. They don't disappoint. read more

Lee Nails - Polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I absolutely love this place! The second time I went here I had the BEST pedicure I have EVER had! I am definitely coming back always!!

Let me start off by saying I am super disappointed with how much Lee nails changed over the years .I have been going to this location since I was 18years old. Almost half my life. It used to be so good that even after moving over 10 miles I used to make a trip at least once a month for a pedicure and gel fill. 90% of the time I had Charlie do my nails. I gave him chance after a chance in the last year. He has been so rough and cutting my cuticles.I don't know what happened with this place but never going back. Would not recommend. read more

Lilly,did an amazing job on my nails she is excellent! Best nail technician ever I highly recommend you to try her!

Awful. Dirty, disorganized and too many stations crammed in. The grumpy old man "doesn't do pedicures" so he wanted to do my no chip first. I said I usually soak my nails while getting the pedicure and asked if that was enough time to get the current polish off. He yelled at me and said "I know what I doing!" I didn't even get my nails done- if they try and use a drill to remove the top layer off of a no chip, run as fast as you can. Plenty of other nail salons in the area- I recommend you take your fingers somewhere else!! read more

I love this place because I absolutely love Tina! She is the very BEST! I have been seeing her for 15 years and she still does an amazing job every time! Very cozy and friendly nail salon :) read more
