Do you do acrylics for short bitten nails?

Hi Sally, thanks for your question. For short, bitten nails, you would have to come in to the salon to have our technician take a look at them and then he can give you the best answer

Do you do the dipping manicures?

Yes we do

Does any of the nail techs have experience or know how to do marble designs on nails?

Yes! Cristina did an accent marble design on each of my hands.

Is it closed today? I tried calling multiple times to see if I could make an appointment but no answer

Hi, no we are open today the phones are working fine we have been getting calls today. 847-375-8383

Do you guys work on short bitten nails? If so, how much are your gel nails?

Hi Kendra, I wasn't able to answer your question before but I have privately messaged you the answer. Thank you!

I've tried calling the salon a few times today. Have they closed?

Hi Hippy, we are actually closed today because it's Crystal's high school graduation. Sorry for the inconvenience!

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.

The lady pulled out nail snippers to cut my cuticle from some drawer and after finishing put it back in there. Let's stick to facts: 1. Overfilled sidewalls to the point of pain 2. Very strange shape to the nails. 3. After applying builder gel the lady went in with a mechanical file and drilled my natural nail near the cuticle. (That's not the buffing before product application) so now I have damaged nails. 4. The product is lifting at the tip of at least half of the nails and food and debris is stuck in there and starting to smell. 5. I did call the business to try to recoup my losses but was only offered to come in. Needless to say I won't let them touch my nails again. This review is written and pictures taken 4 days after nails were done. I paid close to $60 to have this done to my nails.

I've been a loyal customer of Luxe for the past 6 years. They were truly the best of the best in Des Plaines. Unfortunately the old owner seems to have sold the business to new people and I tried to give them a few chances but will never return there again. Back to finding a new nail salon. The new owners don't seem to care about getting to know the clientele or even greeting you at the door. The salon no longer has the welcoming feeling. Now when you walk in, it's this cold strange place. Not to mention... the place is filthy! It is so dirty compared to before. Another thing is the prices of services have gone up. I don't mind paying extra for quality products but the stuff the new owners have brought is cheap and my skin and nails can tell the difference. If you're gonna raise the prices at least buy good quality things. My no chips have been chipping when they have never chipped before. My dips have been super thin and crack 2-3 days after getting them. Either they're thin or they're so thick it hurts. Don't know if it's because of the new owners or if they also changed the no chip products... I wouldn't be surprised. Time to look for another nail salon. read more

I have been getting my nails done by Cristina (and Monica) for years. I've known Cristina since she was in middle school and would spend time in her mom's salon. She and Monica are like family to me. They are two of the best around! I live in Chicago and spend the 30 minutes in the car out to Des Plaines because I cannot find the same level of service and perfection. My nails and cuticles look amazing EVERY time. The salon is so clean and they have done such a great job with the remodel. I cannot say enough about Cristina's quality of work, Monica's, too. Luxe Nails & Spa is the best! read more

Went here and got a pedicure for myself and a Princess pedicure for my daughter. I'm very picky when it comes to my nail salon because some nail salons have accidentally cut my toes or didn't do a great job. I tried Luxe Nail Spa and thank God I finally found an Nail Salon that does great work and has an amazing staff. Super friendly when you walk in and they use all natural products for their services. My daughter was super excited going and loved her Princess Pedi. It's been a week and my feet and toes still look like I left the salon. I definitely will be going here from now on. read more

My favorite nail place in the whole wide world. The staff is always friendly, listen to you and cater to what you want. My no chip manicure last three weeks. I've been going there for three years and I've never had one complaint. They are fairly priced and it's not hard to make an appointment and get in on the time you want. I always leave feeling pampered, I love that they use all natural products and they always mix essential Oils In the lotions that they give you a massage while after they are done with your nails. read more

Wonderful experience!…read more I was able to book an appointment for a full set acrylics just an hour ahead of the appointment on a Saturday, online , which was so easy! Parking is easy since it's in a strip mall. I was greeted by one of the owners, Lynn, who showed me which colors I could choose. She was ready for me as soon as I chose a beautiful teal. It was my first time getting acrylics. And my first time getting my nails done in years. I explained that I wanted them very short and was doing this just to try to stop biting my nails. Instead of finding that weird, she immediately said "oh you look at your nails and think 'Yummy!'" Haha - that's it exactly. They're exactly what I wanted. Natural looking enough that my husband was surprised they weren't real, and beautiful enough to stop my biting! Highly recommend.

Even when you schedule ahead of time, you still end up waiting, and they don't seem to respect their own appointment times. The owner, Lynn, was also very rude and unprofessional. Instead of trying to resolve concerns or make the experience better, she came across as dismissive and unfriendly. Another frustrating part is the constant extra charges. Everything seems to cost extra, $5 for this, $3 for that, and it quickly adds up. By the end of the service, the total is much higher than what you expected. Customer service and transparency about pricing are really important, and unfortunately this place lacks both. I wouldn't recommend it if you value respectful service and clear pricing
