First time getting a Russian manicure and I must say I'm in love. My nail tech Megan was so nice…read moreand took her time. It was worth every minute. I've been looking to give the acrylic a break and grow my natural nails and think I found just what I needed. Didi was there and she was nice to talk to as well. The space is nice and clean and I felt very welcome. Will definitely be back can't wait to see my nail progress on the next visit

I am so tired of establishments charging an arm and a leg for less than stellar service. The…read morepretentious policy and shoddy work don't align with the cost. I booked a service in February. I was going back and forth about a design, in which the person working there was of no help including the Tech that was a "Pro". After some time, I decided to do a French with 2 small hearts on 2 nails. Apparently, that's considered "Complex nail art". The tech who had a mask and heavy accent told me the price in which I clearly didn't understand until I went to pay. YES, I was upset that my nails cost me $150 (no extension etc) when I went to check out! Despite me being surprised, I STILL TIPPED HER (something I regret had I known they would deny me service moving forward). What's more upsetting is that I had to CONTINUOUSLY CORRECT THE TECH (a "pro") while she was doing my nails. Why am I paying so much money and she can't make sure the white on my tips are actually covering the nails properly? Why did she leave actual gel on the sides of my cuticles? Lastly, why did I pay $150 and had BUBBLES IN MY NAIL BED? I showed the girl at the desk, and she HAPPILY TOOK MY MONEY DESPITE SEEING THE BUBBLES. Let me guess, that's all my fault too, right? You think they cared about the actual work done on my nails? HA! Yet, I'm supposed to happily fork over my money for mediocre work and accept it? You guys did me a favor by denying me service. Oh, it's very telling when your nail techs don't stay long in either of your locations! SMH!

Jessie's has never really closed as much as it made a slow but eventual transition to becoming…read moreElegant Beauty [& Nail] Salon. I haven't had anyone else cut my hair in the last 6 years - I will carry on with a shaggy, unkempt mane for months at a time until I overcome my laziness and make it to Elmhurst. (I'm really lazy; I moved closer but I have tired cat lady bones now.) Jessie is quick, gentle, and methodical in her ways, and has a tendency to get a little more excited about you than you yourself probably do. This is nice. She makes me feel special. Luke has never cut my hair, but has taken care of a few friends of mine and I will admit I highly enjoy watching him work - see Gavin K's review for a more relevant assessment. Yeung gives wonderful scalp massages when she washes your hair. Jenny and [Sally? Connie? I need to get back to you on that...] are professional and particular nail technicians who also really know how to give a firm foot & leg massage. Sure, it's a bit of a hole in the wall/basement (you need to take some rickety stairs to the lower level to get to this place). Yes, it could probably use a new paint job. But the staff is kind, the work is up to par, and the prices are fair. I always tip at least 20% because here, I genuinely enjoy every visit, and I can actually afford it!

The lady who did my nails was…read morevery nice, always checking with me to make sure I was ok with her work (eg: offering different services, confirming nail length and color, short conversation). I showed her my inspo pic and she pretty much nailed it! They came out so cute. I also got a pedicure which was very nice, she took her time and it was pretty relaxing. I wish I would've gotten her name but all the ladies there seemed nice and capable and the owner was nice too! I would definitely come back.

Prep work for Acrylic wasn't done such as cuticle trimming, hangnails, drilling the natural nail for tackiness and longevity, shaping gel x almond without checking the work, the glue was still on the side of my fingers to the next day, not shaping my toes for pedicure and prepping (saying they were too short to cut when they were originally saying they could do round over square)... just overall fast 15 minute gel pedicure which i could've done at home.. just body scrub on my legs for 10 seconds which is ok... I asked to shape the thumb after, cuticles and ask about toe nails being cut but just work was not looked over Granted I was the only customer at 5:50pm so they wanted to close earlier (closed at 7pm) -(speaking in chinese) I spent 100 + $5 shaping + $5 credit card fee + tip $120 total

Since English is not first language, don't be turned off about asking questions, they will do their best to help. Also, they take credit cards which is a plus for me. They also offer waxing services. I went to repair my index nail. I cut it off from the mid nail bed and had a graduation to attend the next day. I got an acrylic nail and cat eye manicure and regular pedicure ( mini massage included).

I would rate the cleanliness of the salon a 3.5 out of 5 stars. On two separate visits I didn't notice in-between cleaning of the manicure tables and drying stations. They do however line the pedicure tub and use fresh water for the next customer. I have called ahead and walked in two times and received prompt and kind service. There is some pushy upselling of pricer nail services, but stick to your gut on what you want. The clean-up, shaping, and filing of my nails was thorough on each visit by separate nail technicians. I received a gel manicure the first time and it lasted four weeks without chipping, The second time I had a regular manicure and was charged an additional $5 for choosing an OPI Infinite Shine 2 10-day wear polish. Unfortunately, it started to chip on the 3rd day, so it wasn't worth it. Overall, a good place to stop in for a manicure and pedicure when in a pinch.
