1st time here and my nail tech Amy was bomb. The shape i got was perfectly done! Just short square, but still it was perfect. It wouldve gotten 5 stars, but there was a worker there that didnt respect personal space. This place is huge guys, he had no customers, he kept bumping me with his foot, and having a conversation on the phone right next to me. Its hard finding a good nail tech, so ill be back. If you go, bring cash for the tip. read more

I would leave 0 stars but you can't. Horrible service. No hospitality or professionalism. Had a horrible experience with them the one time I went there. My moms nails was no chip but chipped within the next day. read more

I go to this nail salon about 2-3 times a year. Went last week and the male stylist cut two cuticles and one bled quite a bit. The area still stings and slightly tender. The no-chip polish was done well but the nail techs were very unprofessional. They were having a conversation with yelling and laughing across the salon. I put my earbuds in and they were still loud. Reminds me of why I live in the area, and could walk but travel to Lincolnwood to get nails done. read more

I have no idea how to feel about this place. They have a $10 minimum on credit cards or something and since I usually just get a polish change (I workout every day and type a bunch for work so manicures often get ruined after a day and are therefore not worth it) it never meets the minimum. I'll usually be like "okay nevermind then" and then they say that they'll take me because they don't want to lose my business. Why don't you just remove the minimum then? They also don't allow tips on credit cards. I do not carry cash around so I don't tip them. I'm not going to carry $2 around so I can tip the woman who spends 10 minutes doing my nails if I'm so inclined. Take credit card tips. The quality of the work is so-so. Some of the women are super good and quick, and others are so sloppy it's not worth even the small amount of money I pay. I also come here on Mondays to get my eyebrows waxed. There is one woman who works there, I believe her name is Amy, that is AMAZING. Barely any pain and she takes no time at all. I tip her 50% every time because I'm such a baby about pain and she's so nice to me. I go here because I have no other good options, basically. read more

If I TRULY had to rate this place -0 is my answer! This place is HORRIBLE!!! They don't do what you ask, they attempt to tell YOU what you want, they rush their work (especially the guys) resulting in a cut cuticle, uneven and lumpy overlay..this list can go on!! Last, but not least, the prices DO NOT match the crappy job!! Rude and unprofessional staff..NEVER AGAIN!! One guy tried to slick OVER charge me by $10...like I stated the list can go on about this place. Save your money and just find a place where they value quality, conduct business with professionalism, and can actually do the job you requested!!! read more

Im so happy! I don't have to travel all the way to the south side, old town , etc! I have been trying to find a new salon for a year! MR. T got me right together ! Im so glade I took a chance on this salon! Its clean,comfortable, convenient, an i got a chance to watch POWER! Lol! read more

I never do reviews but I had to do one after my horrible no chip manicure. I went to get my nails done here after my sister suggested it. The place is really nice and inviting I will say that. But I would not go here for a no chip manicure. I got my nails done on Wednesday and by Friday my nails started to chip. I would have went in to get this fix but I was already on vacation... can you imagine my regular painted toes lasted way longer than my no chip manicure. The no chip manicure didn't last even 3 days, by a week the nail polish was chipped off on all of my fingers read more

Lee Nails is my favorite nail salon on the north side. The staff always greets my family and I with a warm welcome. The salon has been renovated with new massage chairs and manicure tables. Tony is my nail tech of choice. His coffin nails always come out even and sleek. Clients receive complimentary wine as a little perk at Lee Nails. read more

I haven't reviewed in a long time but needed to say this about this place. They're decent. Pretty clean the staff is friendly but they're unprofessional in that they don't honor appointments. 4 times now I've made an appointment and end up having to wait sometimes as long as a half hour. It's fine if you're not on a schedule but I am usually on a schedule. read more

Horrible manicure! My go-to place was full so I decided to give Lee Nails a try. They barely had any nail polish options for a regular mani. I tried 3 different color and none of them dried in the 25 min that I was waiting. Decided to play it safe with white. While getting my nails painted I asked the nail tech if the nail polish would dry as it was very thick and not painting smoothly, he reassured me that it would. Nails end up drying ok but didn't even last 24 hrs. Here are pictures of day two of my mani. Horrible! My manis usually last 6 to 7 days. read more

First of all the place is very relaxing and I never feel like they are rushed. Peter is the technician that I see most often, and he is so peaceful. I enjoy this establishment. Give it a try. read more

I went to get my nails done here for prom (regular nail polish acrylic full set) and I loved how they looked. But then in the next week, three of the nails fell off at the tip. I wasn't doing anything that should have made them fall off, so I'm very confused and disappointed. I will not be going back here. read more

This is by far the worst shop ever the manicure is a joke this shop has no clue on how to pamper somebody. The polishes are old and crusty and the man who did my manicure couldn't polish better than 2 extremely nasty. Not worth going to because when they finish you'll feel like you're just left the twilight zone! read more

I usually get my eyebrows threaded at Deva in Walmart on Touhy but they have closed. I have been growing them back out from a disaster threading 1yr ago. I haven't done anything since December so I figured I'd just get them waxed real quick to shape them up. So I think her name wan En, and the first brow was fine (the one that was jacked up previously) but once she got to the second one I felt her having a hard time getting the wax off and she says, "it's stuck". So now I'm like. "What's the problem"? Then she plucks one more time and days, I got it the glue was stuck". Now I feel a little sore around the eyebrow and she just says " it's better than before". I get the mirror and notice she done fucked up the good eyebrow! Thankfully the manager saw my frustration when I can back for a receipt. I have grown a lot and not so confrontational but boy did she almost make me go crazy! I've decided to just do my review while I wait for my refund to be posted on my card‍‍ Never again. read more

Had my first mani/pedi here today and it was amazing!! Not sure how they only have 3 stars, they were great all around. The shop was decorated nicely & very clean! Not to mention their set-up for social distancing due to Covid is top notch. I felt very comfortable with all of the steps they have taken. I wish I would have gotten the mans name who did my nails because I couldn't be happier! Thank You Lee Nails :) read more

These folks destroyed my nails. It's been three months since my last visit here and my nails have yet to fully heal. Never returning here.

I was pleasantly surprised how AMAZING Lee Nails (in the Gateway Center next to Jewel) is! Under new ownership, it is a big, clean, comfortable place. The massaging pedicure chairs are wonderful and I had a relaxing experience getting a hot stone massage and a 5-star pedicure. I also tried getting a "nail-dip" manicure which is like a no-chip manicure, but a little stronger. I'm so thrilled about how great my nails look and feel and for my experience today. I will be back and I'm so glad I gave Lee a chance despite the older reviews on the previous owners. read more

I received the best pedicure ever from Lisa yesterday! I ordered the top of the line and it was well worth it! She did the paraffin wax after the polish which initially made me nervous but turned out to be amazing. My color is bright and shiny and my heels (which tend to be very dry) feel soft and look great. Highly recommended! read more

This is a nice shop. It's very clean and they give polite care, but like all other employees in these spas they speak their language right over your head. I believe they have every right to speak whatever language they can and choose, but at the end of the day you should provide an honest and open environment for your client. You can't do this if you're not being transparent. This is the same reason whispering around people is discouraged. If this doesn't bother you then they are one of the best for manicures and pedicures Also they are a little more expensive. read more

I was about to cheat on my nail salon here but The Universe knew better. Was in the area, plus my salon is way out the way, came in and was greeted, plus the place looked really nice. I got as far as getting my nail color when I was curious about pricing (No chip, etc), long to short, too much price switching to the point I got up & left. I rather go out my way to my salon (Fantasy Nails) for what Lee Nails tried to pull. No telling what I would of been paying once done. read more

USE THE OPI GEL COLORS! I received my first gel color and had NOTHING but issues; it was the lower quality Kiara Sky and it peeled, chipped and four nails ruined within 4 days. I went back and had a new tech do my nails. He said to ALWAYS use the OPI. I did and my nails looked great for 3 weeks! Every time I go in, Michael does a great job and I ask for only him. And, Amy does a FAB pedicure. I highly recommend. Also, to note, they only take CASH tips. read more

I've gone to this place several times and must admit they are horrible with time management. I took my friend here while she was in town to get a nail fixed. I was able to get a pedicure polish and dried and she still hasn't even been called to get her nail fixed. Finally she spoke up after they let 5 others ahead of her to get it fixed. Later on that day the same nail broke again. They aren't that good at shaping and polishing. Every time I go there after a few days my no chip is chipped. As if they put a thinner in the polish to make it last longer. I started going to another place in glenview. Way better service and my no chip nails don't chip. read more

Highly professional. Top notch customer service! Clean. Beautiful salon. Tony and Amy treat you like family and are truly appreciative of you. Fills, no chip, pedicures are outstanding. Great staff! Highly recommended!! Great location. Plenty of free parking. Reasonable prices. Appointments are accepted as well as walk-ins. Incense in the air... Very relaxing!! read more

As an Initial appearance it was clean, crowded but organized. I went for a fill in. It took a while to be serviced but I was pleased with the end result. The tech Ken seems to know what he's doing but don't complain to your customers when they are paying their money for a service. read more

I wanted to give myself a few days before I wrote this review so I wouldn't make my experience worst than it was. My last full set was less to be desired so I went to this place since it was close to me and I had an event later that day. I set of up my appointment online (first mistake) and asked for a gel full set, nothing more, nothing less. I get there and the tech brings out a jar with powder. I've seen the back and forth arguments about if there is actually a gel product that is power. From my research there is no such thing. I was foolishly under the impression that they must have meant that the actual set was powder but the polish would be gel since there is no options to select regular nail polish or gel polish on the website. The actual application for the set was trash. I had to fight with the tech to cut the length of my nails the way that I, THE PAYING CUSTOMER, wanted them. He kept saying, "They will look nice that way." I should not have to explain why I, THE PAYING CUSTOMER, want my nails. JUST DO IT. I have a job the requires that I type all day and I cannot have my nails too long. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO A NAIL TECH. JUST DO IT! This was also the longest that any tech has taken to do nails. Do not come here if you're under any kinds of a time restraint. I get up to the desk ready to pay my $40 (too much for what I received) and leave and the person at the desk tells me about a rewards card and I say sure I'll get it, whatever. Then he tells me that the cost is $50. FOR WHAT?! He says because of the gel polish. I tell him that I never got the gel set I asked for. He says that the tech used GEL POWDER. I gave him back the rewards card and told him I will never be back. Ladies, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GEL POWER. THAT IS THE BIGGEST SCAM IN THE INDUSTRY. Salons that use this tactic are not legit and should be avoided at all cost. read more

I would like to have a better review but I don't. At first one nail broke when I went back they fixed it for free. The about 4 days later 2 more came off. I wasn't doing anything to make them come off. They just were breaking so easy. I paid $60 for these and it was not worth it at all. I wish I could get my money back because these were for my birthday & I just hated them. And I didn't even get what I asked for ethier. read more

Tina did a great job. Just ask if you want them to use other supplies for your feet because if not you'll get a generic pedicure. I let Tina know I really wanted them my scrubbed and she did a very good job. read more

Very kind :) Will assist you with so much kindness. Open to diversity! I felt like everything was also very clean. I was assisted with new tools. The pedicure chair was so comfy as well. read more

FYI $28 for a basic 15 min pedicure ONLY!!! And no clear top coat over color. NEVER AGAIN... All beauty no brains! The place is spacious and pretty but the nail techs are too uninterested in their work or the effort (not that my feet are in bad shape or anything). I do like how they are sanitary with the basins and tools. Sanitizing is the main reason why I came but I wish I could find a place like princess nails (I miss the tech named ICE!) who didn't mind putting in work that leaves my pedicures LASTING. Lee gives you a hot towel "massage" which was more like just wiping my legs down with it and a less than average finish (sloppy polish) that isn't worth the money. My feet were not throughly exfoliated. The overall quality is cheaply performed. Princess nails on Clark if only I wasn't scared you'd give me foot fungus we'd be the bff's I long for...sigh. Also, a tech sat next to mines and chatted the whole time distracting her and disturbing my "spa" like experience they represent. Puh-leaze!.... read more

I made an appointment for 6 pm for a mani pedi and was not seated until around 6:30. I really love this place because they do a really good job with my nails always (the men at this place do amazing nails), but I had to be somewhere so I was only able to get a mani. The front desk person was very apologetic and accommodating but I just couldn't give the time. I think that having an appointment is kind of important and they should not have let other people who just walked in without appointments in front of me... Which is the reason I had to wait for 30 min for my treatment. That being said, I still really like his place I would just avoid it Friday afternoons. read more

So happy I paid them another visit! They're the nearest salon to my home so I gave them another try out of desperate need of a pedicure lol. Kim was overall AWESOME!

I came here to get a no chip manicure.as I came in they greeted me. The place is warm and lovely.they have quite a few selection. This is my first time to come to Lee Nails but I was disappointed .During my service, I have to wait for a while for my tech to do costumer eye brow and they just walk in I've already told the tech I won't have time to do mani&pedi . Now that I have to waited longer . I won't be back read more

Skip it. My no chip manicure looks like it has bern on for a week and I just got it. They don't paint close enough to the cuticle. No chip and dip manicures are too expensive to not be more precise. read more

I visited this salon the other day for the first time. The staff were very rude. I asked for the tech's name to report this matter to the owner and they wouldn't give me her name. I never post or rate but my experience was terrible !!!! I love Lee nails on Devon, way nicer and better staff. Stay Away!!!! read more

To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. Not so much with the quality of the work; but the most recent experience I had with the management when I returned to the salon requesting that my nails be redone after my no-chip manicure was chipping on every nail less than 48 hours after receiving the service. Instead of politely "hearing" what I was saying, the manager's demeanor was instantly defensive. He proceeded to argue with me, telling me that I was wrong-- and in front of other customers! I totally get it that sometimes manicures don't last as expected-- that is why there is a guarantee. Not a big deal. What *is* a big deal is the fact that I have been to this place many times. I am always considerate and a generous tipper. And, this is the first time I have returned for a re-work. I am not a customer who looks for every opportunity to get free work done, just because of a tiny chip (and they know that). Bottom line: if you have a good customer (or want to keep your customers), if they have a complaint, just do the courteous thing and listen. Even if you don't agree, suck it up and say something like "I'm sorry this did not work out, let me make it right for you." If I had received even a hint of good customer care, I would not be writing this review and they would not have lost a loyal customer. Shame on them. Good for the next place I choose to take my business. read more

They treated my feet and legs like they loved them. Very nice, clean, relaxing. Have been here before and will come back.

This nail shop is the best. I love the environment and the staff is so friendly and pleasant. I have been to this shop 3 times and each time I went, I've had a wonderful experience. My nail tech is Chinh. He does such a phenomenal job and treats me good every time. Thank you all so much for your delightful customer service and patience because you all know it takes me a long time to decide on a color. Lol. I would definitely recommend this nail salon to anyone looking for a nail salon in Rogers Park. read more
