UNSANITARY! i went here and spent 150! on a full set acrylic & pedicure for my nails to look this way! Sam the nail tech was in a rush doing my pedicure he insisted that I have my toe nails cut. he cut them super short & made them sting . doing My acrylic for my full set he was applying thick layers and applying the leafs on my nails( I got a fall set design) with his fingers so much that the acrylic was all over his own fingers and just became a whole messy ordeal then when asking him to be a little more gentle and organized he got mad and Insisted he cut off all my nails that were already done . He called his manager The manager said that she didn't see an issue After showing her the obvious mistakes he had made told me if I wanted him to finish that i will have to " be quiet & let Sam finish" which I did because I had no time to sit n wait to have the nails get token off. Cleanliness is HORRIBLE! Sam continued to use the same tools over n over without sanitizing!! he drills the nails horrible that it burns underneath the acrylic!!! sam is the worst mail tech ever !!! This place is the worst place I been too!! my nails are alredy looking outgrown and acrylic alredy chipping wasn't filled correctly at all !! WASTE OF MY TIME !! HORRIBLE NAIL PLACE DO NOT GO HERE !

This is only two days after my fill in from the shop. When I first came I was already mad because the full set I had before was so thick but all my nails where still attached after 3 weeks they already raised their prices and charge for every little thing the first nail broke two hours after I left the shop it was closed so I came back the next day they were trying to make me pay after they know I was just there when they closed. He shaved my nails down so thin there is no way my nails could have any strength to not break I been coming here 6 years but I Think I am done now their customer service is so horrible it hurt because this is the only nail shop I've been at for 6 years but bad customer service raised prices rushed jobs and rip off nail techs is not what I'll keep putting up with read more

Pedicure was extremely subpar and rushed. Absolutely no attention to detail. I explained this to the "Manger" but all she offered was to fix one toe nail. Terrible customer service and the shop was dirty. I will NEVER give them my money again. read more

Magic Nails is what I call my convenient nail salon. It's super close to my house and work. Despite the crowds sometimes, I never really end up waiting that long. They have a fairly large selection of polishes. Their prices are pretty average: $55 for a no-chip mani, regular pedi, with a salt scrub massage (not including tip). And the staff are all very friendly and do a good job. It's just not my favorite salon. But it's certainly better than other salons that I have tried in the West Loop. The other West Loops salons I've gone to, I've always felt like I was part of a machine line, where they wanted me in and spit me back out. It doesn't feel that way at Magic Nails at all. While every time I've had a different Nail Tech, they're all good, they make you feel welcome and it feels like they care to do a job well done. Though, just yesterday I finally got Sam as my tech and he totally rocked it out! He's relatively quick, but VERY efficient and you can tell he's a perfectionist. Plus, he gave me an actual foot and leg massage, not just a gentle rub. So all in all, I like Magic Nails. Helpful tips: Definitely ask for Sam for excellent work. Also, be very careful in that parking lot. It's ALWAYS packed, it's chaotic, and people literally don't look when they're pulling in and out of spots. read more

This is a wonderful, peaceful nail salon to get great service...now if the obnoxious patrons would quit complaining about the price, and starting fights with each other, it would be paradise. The staff is very friendly and I have been very happy with all the services I get there. I have had several people take care of me for my gel nails and pedicure with no chip. Never have I had a complaint. My suggestion for anyone using Magic Nails is, if you don't want to pay the very fair price and tip fairly, please don't come there and ruin it for the rest of us that are happy! ALSO, if you don't like someone who is getting services there, take your fights out to the parking lot like other hoodlums do. read more

Came in yesterday as a walk in. Initially I wanted a regular manicure even though they kept pushing for a gel manicure. I'm happy I went with gel she did such a good job and took her time. Go to Ivy she's very sweet and patient. Only compliant I would say is if j want a regular mani let me be. But overall I think I found my go to place ! read more

Magic Nails Spa - No chip manicure. Did an amazing job!! Took a picture with flash that's how you know it's perfect. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Customer Service is horrible. The employees I encounter was very rude and seem to be in a hurry. Didn't listen to me as a customer, cut my nails to short, tried to raise the price twice. I had no shine on my nails.They didn't seem to know the answer to anything. They charge .75 cents per credit card / debit transaction. From my understanding there should be no charge no for debit which comes directly from your bank account to theirs, but they hurriedly ran the transaction for credit without giving me an option to run debit. Crooks!!! Those .75 cents add up!! Never intend to visit again. I don't think they respect or appreciate the customers in that area that pays their bills. SMH... read more

Went here for the first time with a friend today. The wait was a little long, but definitely worth it! I had Sam help me with a no-chip full gel set and they look and feel wonderful! My friend had an acrylic set done and also loves them. Decent pricing, pretty similar to most places. read more

There are plenty of nail techs that work here which makes the wait very small. I have only come in the morning so I am not sure how it is during other times or on the weekend.

Great nail place! One of the best in Chicago area I've been to so far. I've been here a few times now and had a pleasant experience each time. Jennie does a great job when it come to no chip and pedis as well, the staff is friendly and they make sure you are satisfied with their work. My no chip lasts for a while and still looks good at 2 weeks. Will definitely continue going here. read more

I've been to Magic Nails twice already and I'm planning another visit this week! Each time I've visited, I've never had to wait. The two women (they're sisters, from what they told me) have both done an awesome job on my toes and hands. I typically get a nail color change for my toes and a no-chip mani. Last time, I did the mood change polish, and I've had so much fun showing them off to my friends. I did an eyebrow wax during my first visit, and that service was just as good. Super convenient (about a 5 minute walk from my apartment), next to Pete's and King Wok, and love how professional the staff. They don't hassle the customers about "cash-only" tips and are very attentive! This place is a keeper! read more

Got a no-chip manicure that chipped within a week. Unfortunately, I was out of town when it chipped so I couldn't come in to get it fixed immediately. They refused to fix it. Not worth the money. Sloppy job in the first place. read more

I no longer feel the need to go to expensive boutique nail salons now that I found Magic Nails. I usually go on Wednesdays or Sundays as a walk in and am always started right away. I get no chip manicures and sometimes no chip pedicures. They always last up until my next visit (3-4 weeks). The technicians remove the previous visit's gel very carefully as to not damage my nails. I have been getting no chip manicures here consistently for 7 months and haven't had any issues with the health of my nails besides the occasional broken nail when I let them grow out too long. Prices are reasonable except for the chrome no chip option (extra $15). read more

I got a no-chip mani and regular pedicure a couple Saturdays ago. Usually my no-chip from other places would need to be re-done or touched up by now, but not this time! I'm really happy about this because they're really clean and close to where I live. This place did a great job with my nails, so I can't wait to go back, and suggest others to check this place out too! :) read more

Simple. Quick. Basic Mani. It's always packed, however, they are quick & efficient. My manicure usually last 2 weeks.

Best nail salon I've ever been to with reasonable prices. The service is great and the employees know what they're doing.

Giving the salons 5 stars because Tony is my guy! He does an amazing job; never too thick and always perfectly shaped. He's super quick but makes the effort to do it right. I'm always happy when I leave! read more

Well I tried them again and it is horrible. They use unsanitized, non sterile tools. The little loofa scrub things is almost worn out. The Magic Nail in Countryside opens a new pack of tools for every customer but I do know that most places just sterilize the tools in a machine but not this place. I see from other reviews further down others have noticed this also, sorry don't want others fungus so I will be taking my business else where. read more

Horrible service. 1st visit they charged me for no chip polish when it was regular polish. I informed the nail tech and she asked who did my nails. I showed her the tech who did my nails and she asked her in their language. Then proceeded to tell me that she couldn't prove she did my nails. I pulled up my bank statement to show the day I was there and she still refused to refund the difference. I asked could she take the extra few dollars off this visit and she told me no again. When I asked why not, she said told me to stop talking to her and get away from her. I will never go there again. And not to mention the quality of work isn't top notch anyway! read more

The place is convenient because it's near my house. That is the only reason I come here. I've come the last year approximately 1 time a month. I'm always friendly, I always tip, but I am always confronted with rude, abrasive attitudes by the woman who handles the flow/manager of the salon. My no chips don't last more 1 week about 50% of the time and they often don't properly cover my nail. The tools are rusted and as of lately I haven't seen them come from a fresh unopened package. They haphazardly clean the pedicure stations. I won't be back. I don't care if I have to travel a little father for good customer service and a lower risk of toenail fungus. read more

I've never been so disappointed or disrespected in my life. Everything that could have gone wrong at a nail salon went wrong for me. 1. The appointment i booked with a nail tech i was referred to was running behind and was told to sit with someone else. 2. I was told that the nail shape i requested would not work for the nail length i choose. 3. The nail tech started applying the wrong nail polish and when i told him it was wrong he said nope this is the color you picked. 4. The final result was horrible. I was so pissed! 5. Decided to call and complain. Mary said that i should have spoken up when i didnt like them. She then told me she was going to call me back and see what she could do. Upset with her response i called her back and demanded i get a new set and shape free of charge. Her reply " Im with a client, i need to call you back!" and hangs up on me! She calls me back and says it was wrong of me to keep her on the phone when she was busy with a client. I should know better. Are you kidding me?!?! This place is a joke, they have no respect for the customer. Mary the manager is extremely rude and unprofessional. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! read more

Horrible service. They drill too far in your nail bed and act like they don't understand your criticism. They also cut my foot during a pedicure while carelessly scrubbing my foot. Maybe if they weren't so busy trying to get fed orange slices by theirs colleagues I wouldn't have gotten cut. read more

Best full set I have ever done in Chicago. The shape was done really well and nail polish was real nice and smooth. The only problem I have was that I was charged an extra 5 bucks because I wanted a coffin nail shape. I don't know if this is a thing there or if the technician was just mad I change my mind in the middle of doing a square shape. Lol. Will definitely be going back. read more

I went to get my overlay fill in at 7:32PM and whoever opened the door said "we are closed" and I said "you close at 8pm" and he said, "last service is at 7:30pm and it 7:32pm" but that they can do my eyebrows if I wanted. Completely baffled by that! Didn't want to make money I guess. Horrible business. read more

BUTCHERED MY EYEBROWS!!!! Never ever again will I ever come here. The girl doing eyebrows has no idea what she is doing and was completely unapologetic after the fact. My brows are now HALF the length they were before I walked into this joke of an establishment. I couldn't even stay to enjoy my pedicure that's how upset I was. I'm just disgusted at what just happened to me! read more

Magic Nails Spa - She Ruined my eyebrows!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Magic nail spa on madison and western in the Mimi market is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! There "no-chip full set is $40 and the perfect match polish is no good! I had to go back several times and had issues every step of the way! I was giving excessive excuses and a drastic hard time to get my nail issue resolved! Mary the manager is highly inconsiderate and do not care after you have paid your money. read more

My first experience was alright. Second time I came back I got a guy that is at table 1. He said my nails are so long I need overlay on all of them or they'll break. Okay. After that I was told cutting cuticle is not included in the price and is 10$ more. What? I still agreed to that . I asked if he could do a simple design - no problem. After trying to draw it for 15 min he did a terrible job and I asked it to be wiped off. So I'm left with a dif color nail without design that just looks stupid. I asked for matte finish, he forgot so we had to redo that part too. He filed my nails SO MUCH with the machine that there's nothing left of them!!! One broke underneath the Polish next day, it'll take a while to grow them out back to health now. And he put so much overlay on it that it looks too thick like theres 10 layers of polish . I left very upset. Not sure if I'm coming back to the salon but never back to this person for sure !!!! read more

This salon is just ok. They are always busy so the tech's tend to do a rush job and there is ALWAYS kids in there. I always find that annoying. There is limited seating as well and majority of time kids are taking up the seats that are there. I wouldn't go if you were going for a relaxing experience, but if you need something done quick it is a decent place. read more

Good service but they charge $5 to get your nails buffed, $5 for a foot massage, $5 foot buffed, etc. Ended up paying more than I typically do but it's a nice place. read more

I visited them on my 1 hour lunch break during the noon hour and was able to get a pedicure and my eyebrows done in under a hour. I told the nail tech that I was pressed for time and even with the time she had she did an awesome job. Angela did my pedicure and Jenny did my eyebrows. And I'm more than satisfied with both my feet and brows. read more

I thought this place was pretty good at first and now that I've gone a few times I realize its pretty terrible. 1. They use rusted tools on ur toenails for sure, hands I'm not sure. When I asked the woman to use new tools she told me no then asked the woman in the front who spoke English. She just gestured to her to get them as tho they have them somewhere and knew where they were but dont normally use them. Then she started talking about me in her language to her coworker which I could tell from my app. 2. The entire place is disgustingly dirty. It looks like they never clean up from the day before so theres juat dist and powder stuck on everything. Chairs are broken and some with holes. 3. I came in at 730p I understand thats late if they close at 8p but my pinky nail popped off today I got them done there less than a week ago. She asked me what I needed and when I showed her my pinky nail she said sorry its past 730p. Why ask me what I wanted to just deny me service anyway? I reiterated it was one pinky nail and she said sorry and that was it. 4. The last time I was there I spend $100 in service, that alot to budget for and when I didn't give as much tip to their liking they talked crap about me again. I think this is tthe reason they denied me service after she could tell who I was. Time to support Black and Latino nail shops cuz these Asian ones treat u like crap! read more

This is a really good nail salon. I am so happy they opened one right near me! Mary, the owner is super nice and sweet!
