    I have been going to mid city for about 4 years now and can't say anything but great things. Every nail artist is fantastic, but I highly recommend Kim. She does the BEST dip and gel nails, always finds the best colors, is very thorough and takes her time, and my nails last me at least 5 weeks without any chipping. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid nail salon!

    I've been going to Midcity Nails for 5 years and Kim is truly the best nail tech. She takes her time, helps you pick the best colors (I'm very indecisive), and is the sweetest person. I truly only trust her with my nails. I do dip manicures and they 4-5 weeks, which is insane! Highly HIGHLY recommend seeing Kim, you won't be disappointed! :)

    Wonderful experience. My daughter and I both got spa pedicures and gel ex manicures. We will be back!

    Updating my review to say Midcity is still the best and Gina does it all!! Cannot recommend enough- she can do any design and my nails last a month.

    Called for a last minute mani-Pedi appointment since I had a couple of hours to kill in the area . My esthetician was really sweet older lady whose name starts with Y but is pronounced U . Got a no chip manicure and regular pedicure. Was done in 1:30 minutes. The place was packed to the max on a Monday evening after 6 pm. Locals seem to like this salon very much ... will definitely come back!

    $37 no chip mani, by mimi. Color is OPI "Got the Blues for Red" #54

    This is my new favorite nail salon! On a Thursday night, I was in a pinch for time and wanted to get a no-chip mani to attend a wedding on the weekend. I called around to quite a few places in Lincoln Park and Midcity Nails came through! They were open later than other salons (which I appreciated and helps so much for someone who works a 9a-5p). When I called, they were able to squeeze me in with Mimi who is fantastic. At my request, she gave me almond shaped /rounded nails that was a first for me but I loved this shape. The filing was impeccable and when I came here, a little frazzled with trying to find a walk-in, Mimi was calming, no-nonsense, and a pleasure to work with as the nail tech. As of Dec 2021 a no-chip mani was $37. Several things made my experience really enjoyable, they have a parking lot (since they're located in a strip mall) next to a 7-11 and Mo's Asian Bistro. Plenty of spots (depending on the time of day) and walking distance across the side street to Tsaocaa Lincoln Park. Nails followed by a milk tea... what a treat! This neighborhood/area serves a lot of DePaul students and has a lot of restaurants & shops that are easily accessible. I came back again for a walk-in in January 2022 for a no-chip mani & regular pedi with Quy. She did a great job too! At the time of writing, this set was $67. Their prices are reasonable and they have plenty of staff and walk-in availability. Every time I come in, it's bustling and has a community feel. A lot of the clients have their go-to nail tech and I can tell that folks are regulars. After coming here twice and having a great experience each time - I am soon to become a regular myself!

    I don't love strip mall nail salons in general. I've had mixed experiences and typically prefer a salon as a stand alone store or store front. However, this place was good. I called in the morning to make a mid morning appointment for a dip manicure. They confirmed availability, took my name and number. You can also use Booksy app to book. I arrived a couple minutes early because you never know about parking. The salon is in a tiny strip mall and parking is touch and go. You might not get a spot and I parked on the side street for free. The side street isn't permitted and mostly houses so easy to park close to the salon. I came through the door and was pleasantly surprised at how large the salon was. It's tucked in a corner so I wasn't sure how cramped it would be inside. The receptionist confirmed my appointment, told me to pick my dip color and told me to wash my hands and then assigned me a table number. Hang was my nail tech and she was polite, attentive and confirmed my color choice, opened the dip powder to ensure I still wanted that color and then proceeded to remove the old dip. She used acetone and the machine filer but was very careful of my actual nails. Overall, it was a good experience and I will be using them for my dip powder nails. I finally found a place that can create a narrow oval shape without needing me to come home and file them again. This is only a four instead of a five because of the parking. Please note, not every dip tech is great. Hang is great.

    Pretty in PINK!  Dip manicure by Gina

    I've been going here for years! If you want your nails done perfectly go see Gina and her BFF Quiy! If you haven't had a dip manicure now's the time to try it and Gina is fantastic! Dip manicure will NOT ruin your natural nails. Not only is Gina a perfectionist she's hilarious we laugh the entire time I'm there. Quiy did my pedicure tonight and is the nicest lady and did an Excellent job! I don't write reviews often but these 2 ladies deserve all the recommendations!!!! Thanks Ladies!

My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

    I noticed the business name change from Sapphire Halsted to Black Onyx when I booked on the Booksy…read moreapp and was admittedly a little hesitant until I saw Gala's name. I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!

For the pedicure.: the nail part was cute however the bottom and the side of my feet looked the same as I came. I brought this to the techs attention and she's goes next time you have to book a callus treatment. WTH? I still have dead skin on my feet. What a scam!! I'm so mad I wasted my money and time. Thank goodness we live in a city with options!

    I've found my new nail place. And actually, I didn't even realize I needed a new nail place…read more I'm in the process of trying to beautify and pamper myself in the days before I give birth, and getting a manicure and pedicure was on my list of desired treatments. I haven't had a mani pedi since at least October 2019, if not further back than that. They haven't been my #1 priority for pampering (that's a facial), but it do enjoy it. I learned about Dazzle Dry polish in the last year or so and have been curious to try it ever since, but it appears that there's only a few salons in the city that use it and so that's what led me to Spa Avenue. When I got there the woman who worked on me was ready to start immediately; it just took me a few minutes to choose my color. I suppose it was a fairly standard manicure/pedicure, but still I appreciated her attention to detail and she had a great touch--not too rough or anything. My hands and feet feel so nice and soft now. My hands had been really dry lately but they feel soft and supple a day later. Dazzle Dry is fantastic, so between that and the good service I experienced here that will keep me coming back. I usually don't get color on my fingernails when I get a pedicure, I just get them buffed because if they aren't chipped by the time I leave the salon, they are by the end of that same evening. Over 24 hours later, there's not a chip to be seen on my nails currently. It's supposed to last something like 7-10 days and I believe it. It's also great because unlike no-chip, it doesn't have to cure or anything and you can remove it with regular acetone nail polish remover I think. I didn't realize how excited I would be to be able to wear nail color on my fingernails again, or how much I love the look of it! I'm not kidding when I say I gave up on nail polish well over a decade ago and haven't worn it since, and now I can't wait to return and try other colors. I wish I had gotten the name of the nail tech who worked on me today because she was excellent and I'd love to request her specifically next time. But all the folks here seem to know what they're doing so I would expect to have a good experience with anyone.
