Mary is amazing at what she does! I've been here a few times now for both pedicures and no chip manicures, and have had a great experience each time. Mary is detailed and makes sure you're comfortable every step of the way. I will definitely be back again :D read more

This is the first salon I've been back to after trying two others since moving to Chicago. This salon is kept in good condition, has a large staff, many stations, many colors and options available, and even offers alcoholic drinks. They take credit for payment and Venmo for tip. Mary does a very quick job, I think it took her ten minutes to specifically do the cats eye on my toes. But it is also a pristine job where she makes lots of finishing touches to fine tune her work. (After having terrible work at another salon, I double check the work and it is perfect). And her leg massages are also very very relaxing! I recommend Mary. Also note, she doesn't work Sundays! read more

I've had so much fun trying out their different kinds of pedicures this summer. Don't make me choose a favorite because they're all divine! I discovered Luxo on Nextdoor, where Mary came highly recommended, and that recommendation was spot-on. Mary is the best! My no-chip pedicures last forever. Luxo is such a great place for manis and pedis. It's huge, incredibly clean, and friendly, with lots of amenities for both you and your kids. I love coming here to relax, unwind, and be pampered. Definitely recommend! read more

Recently went to get a pedicure at Luxo and was quite disappointed. My technician was cutting my cuticles and they cut too deeply to the point where it drew blood, which was obviously quite painful. Accidents happen and so I don't necessarily think that this is representative of their abilities, but she also didn't really do anything to put me at ease that it was getting disinfected for the rest of the service. I also booked one of the more elite pedicure options (NOT just a polish change to say the least), but the tech barely got any of my dead skin off which I would've expected in my very extra service option of a pedicure. What I found the most shocking was that despite making me bleed, before they went to paint my nails they came to me with a QR code to give them a 5 star Google review, which I think was quite bold to do as my toe was still red and bleeding lol. I'd imagine if you made your customer bleed you'd probably want to offer some sort of consolation rather than forcing them to submit a positive review. Based on reviews it does look like people are overall happy with their results, and again, I don't necessarily think that one accident should define the overall abilities for a tech (which is why I am not naming), but from this experience it kind of seems like some of these reviews may be getting forced during the service as that is what happened to me. Separately, I think some of their sample colors don't actually match their nail polishes - the color I chose and what ended up on my feet ended up being two different tones where I thought I'd chosen a peach pink and it came out super cool toned. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Luxo! We called and asked if they'd take two pedicure walk ins and they gladly welcomed us in. We got settled immediately and had our pedicures done within 45 minutes. Everyone was very friendly and our nail techs were attentive and detail oriented. We also enjoyed a massage and piña coladas with our appointment. Such a wonderful environment and amazing experience start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Love my experience with Mary! I've been coming here and going to her since I moved to the area in March. She takes her time and doesn't rush! I would recommend this nail location and Mary! read more

Mary is the absolute best! shes sweet and kind and absolutely amazing at pedis!!! my feet feel all the love and care. super meticulous!!!

Not a great experience. I already have two nails chipped on Tuesday after a no-chip appointment on Friday. This is one of those places that allows you to book all types of appointments online but then when you get there, they act like they don't know what you booked. I had to explain that I wanted builder gel with a very simple design on two nails. I was passed between two techs. The second one seemed sort of annoyed that I was passed to him. While he was nice and my design was pretty, my no chip manicure took all of 30 min. Zero spa vibes whatsoever. A tiny amount of lotion at the end with no massage. While I was grateful my cuticles were sort of cleaned up, it was all about speed rather than me actually getting a nice service. I get trying to make money, especially in this economy, but on the other hand for the price we also expect a somewhat nice service in return. The part I did like was the head spa. I did get the full hour. My biggest complaint would be that my hair was fulllll of tangles afterwards. Took me forever to comb it out since there isn't any selection of items like leave in conditioner or something to help. My partner and niece got a pedicure but again it wasn't what I booked. I wanted them to get this fancy CBD pedicure but they too were rushed through. I'm not sure what we paid for but it just seems deceiving. On top of that quality is lacking. Unfortunately I'll be continuing to look for a more thorough and more spa like experience. read more

Mary was great from start to finish and super friendly! I had gotten the lemon scrub pedicure. 10/10 service.

Mary gives a great pedicure. She's attentive and friendly and listens to your requests. Her treatment is always a relaxing treat.

Miss Kim did an AMAZING job with my dip powder french tip manicure! I have a hard time finding someone who will do french tip dip manicure, and she knocked it out of the park and was SO attentive throughout! The staff was so attentive and accommodating throughout my service as well. My pedicure was very relaxing and super detail oriented as well and I would highly recommend! read more

Mary did a fabulous job with my nails. I swear somewhere way back in the family line, we must have ogre blood because my cuticles are always such a challenge. Both Mary who did my hands and Thuy who did a cucumber pedicure on my feet did a lovely job. Five stars. Highly recommen! read more

I have come back now twice just to see Mary! She is extraordinarily gifted, kind, and a warm presence. My nails are the best they have ever looked and the best I have ever felt about a manicure and pedicure. I have never been loyal to a nail salon until now- I will always come here just to see Mary! Thank you so much, Mary! Hugs, Elisabeth. read more

I've been coming to Luxo Nail Spa for about a year after moving to the area. The salon is clean and everyone that has done my pedicures or nails has done excellent work! I typically do walk-in versus an appointment and rarely have to wait more than 5 minutes. Highly recommend Luxo Nail Spa. Sandy, Emily, and Tammy have all been my personal favorite technicians read more

I've been going to Luxo Nail Spa for about a year now. I typically get builder gel nails and sometimes pedicures. I go specifically to Thao and Eric for my manicures and then anyone who is available for my pedicures. Thao did my nails for my engagement (I didn't know I was getting engaged but my partner told Thao months before); they turned out amazing and I am so thankful that my nails looked fantastic for my special day. I have been to a few other nail salons in Chicago for gel x/builder gel, but Luxo Nail Spa is the best. Their environment is friendly, you can tell they all enjoy working with each other and consider each other family, and they're always respectful to their customers. read more

Mary gave a wonderful pedicure! The massage was amazing and she took extra care of me since I was pregnant.

Super lovely here and great colors, but unfortunately both times I've gotten pedicures here, my polish has chipped within 3 days, which has never happened before. Maybe stick with no chip polis read more

I do not understand the good reviews even a little. The only positive attribute to this salon is that there is a parking lot. I've been here twice, and the bad service was not a one off. My parents were immigrants AND they spoke English. If most of your staff can't speak basic English, at least assign a translator!! Customers should be able to to ask about different services without playing charades. I don't know why I was assigned to a torn pedicure chair that was ripped and had the stuffing coming out. Not a fan. read more

Mary is my go-to for pedicures! She is incredibly thorough, and her attention to detail really shows. Her polish application is always clean, precise, and flawless. On top of that, she gives the most amazing leg and foot massages--they're the perfect finishing touch and make every appointment feel so relaxing. I always leave with beautiful nails and feeling completely refreshed! read more

I've been getting my nails done by Caitlin for two years now and she is the best!! She is detail oriented and down to try a new design or suggest the perfect color. I love my builder gel nails and I've never had any lifting or chips! The salon is always clean and there is lots of parking available (plus close to the Blue Line). read more

I really hate to leave a bad review, especially since my first visit here for a pedicure was a great experience with a different technician. However, my appointment last Monday at 6:30 PM for a pedicure and Gel X manicure was disappointing. It felt like Nikki was rushing through the entire pedicure. She missed applying polish on part of my toenail, and when I pointed it out, she just painted over the existing layers instead of fixing it properly -- leaving the nail uneven. When I got home, I noticed she had still missed spots. During the Gel X manicure, she seemed distracted and in a hurry. Another staff member kept interrupting her, instructing her on how to go faster and use a heavier drill bit. They were speaking in Vietnamese, not realizing that I could understand everything being said. The process felt rushed and careless -- Nikki nicked me a few times and ran the drill too close, causing sharp pain. I asked her to add a few accent lines on four nails, and when I double-checked the image to confirm the design, she complained to the nail tech beside her that I was checking her work. The final result was sloppy -- the underside of the nails had thick excess glue and white powder. I showed another nail tech, who was finishing my friend's nails, and she had to call Nikki back to clean it up. When I got home and looked closer, I saw uneven edges, unpolished sides, and a visible bump on my right index nail where she had over-drilled and tried to fix it with extra polish instead of replacing the nail. To make matters worse, by Thursday three of the nails had already started separating from my natural nails. I'm currently out of town for conferences -- the reason I had them done in the first place -- so it's been especially inconvenient and disappointing. I now have to find a salon in Florida to remove them and hope my natural nails aren't damaged. For $170 in services, plus a $20 cash tip, this was a very poor job. I usually don't write negative reviews, but this experience fell far short of what I expected given my previous visit. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as I really wanted to make this my regular salon. read more

Mary was great! Such a kind and sweet woman and very detailed. Best nail experience I've had.

I've been coming here for a while, which is why this review is disappointing to write, because I've never had issues like this before. About four weeks ago, I got a gel manicure before flying to Europe for a wedding. I had my nails done on Sunday, flew out Wednesday, and by the wedding on Friday, every single gel nail had popped off. I reached out multiple times via the email listed on their website to see if anything could be done, but I never received a response. After returning from Europe, I decided to give them another chance and specifically requested a different nail tech. I got another gel manicure on a Sunday, flew out Monday, and by Tuesday one of my nails had already chipped. I went back to have it fixed, but now only a week later, multiple nails are chipping again. I've never had this issue with gel manicures before, especially not this quickly. Today added to my frustration. My roommate and I called ahead for pedicures and asked if they could accommodate us at 2:15. They said they could take both of us at 2:45, which worked perfectly. We arrived on time, and my roommate was helped immediately, but I waited about 20 minutes before anyone even started my pedicure. If they couldn't truly accommodate both appointments at that time, I wish they had just been upfront. I also asked on the phone if they could fix my chipped nails while I was there, and I was told that wouldn't be a problem. Once I arrived, the salon was extremely busy and that request essentially went nowhere. To be fair, the woman who did my pedicure today was wonderful and did a great job. My disappointment is really with management and the overall customer service. Between the lack of response to emails, repeated issues with manicure quality, and poor communication around scheduling, the experience has been frustrating. read more

The entire team at Luxo is amazing! Particularly, Mary is my go-to technician! She is very personable, caring, and dedicated to her work. I cannot recommend her enough! She is also quick, so I am never there for a gel mani or pedi for too long! She's the best :)) read more

wonderful staff and the gel pedis are fantastic here! Mary, Nancy & David are the best of the best!!

First time going to Luxo! The service was truly out of this world. Not like anything I've experienced before and a nail salon. Typically a downside is how long of a process it takes to get mani and pedis. However they're flexible. If you like the pampering, you can have a single nail tech. However I had a mani and pedi tech working on me at the same time! The employees were all so kind, even the ones who weren't directly working with me. The manager floor walks to ensure all the clients are satisfied and all d well taken care of. He offered me free warm green tea. Smoothies and water are offered too. Luxo is a bit more expensive that I typically pay for so look at the prices beforehand. But I truly feel like I got what I paid for. A flawless mani and pedi French tip with a design on a finger. I would go again and sign up for rewards to get value out of each visit! read more

This was my first and last time going here. I was really excited to go here since my friend said they were really good. I got builder gel nails and cat eye with Sarah. She was rushing the entire time, from removing my old gel to finish it was about 40 mins. I'm all about being fast and efficient but she was rough and in a hurry and my nails definitely reflect it. She was very sloppy-my nails are bubbly, thick and uneven. There's dips when you rub over the nails. I asked for round nails and it's a mix of square and round. Some of the tops of my nails are rough and not filed. Very disappointed I spent $80+ on these nails, they look horrible. read more

I recommend Mary for your pedicure needs! She is attentive, detailed, and gives the best foot massage!

I arrived at 7pm to inquire if they had time to fit in a mani and pedi or I was willing to do one service if they were busy as I know they close at 8pm. He assured me they would be able to accommodate both. I then waited a half hour in waiting room and then another half hour with my feet soaking in pedicure tub before they even came over to start me. It was downhill from there. They had two staff working on each the pedicure and manicure which okay I guess if I was the one in a hurry then I understand but they made me wait an hour before starting and now rushing all my services. Frustrating as it's really uncomfortable and both workers were demanding me to do something when it would sometimes conflict with the other. Not in anyway the self care experience I was hoping for! The manicurist immediately cut two of my nails so short that I pulled away as it cut me. She then on two more occasions either filed over it or cut with cuticle cutter in that area till I left literally bleeding. I asked her nicely twice to stop going over the area she cut without her respecting that or having any regard for cutting me in the first place. The pedicurist went also fast, cut my nails off center, cut me on big toe, and did a bumpy and not great paint job. It's like they punished me for being there late but I waited an hour for them to even start then had to endure another hour for them to do both at the same time and didn't leave till 9pm. Then at check out they wanted to charge me more for the pedicure because they were out of lemon and gave me lavender? I never asked for that. Finally able to get them to charge me the normal price they should have charged. Horrible experience. Not the first time I have had Such horrible and rude service from nail techs. I really want to like this place and I have been there several times in hopes that I will because they are close by and have a lot of staff so nice to do walk ins here. However I have had way too many bad experiences at this point and left bleeding which I take the risk of infection very serious. Super disappointed but not worth the risk when there are so many other options to chose from. Don't recommend. read more
