As you can see my natural nails are perfectly fine. I asked for them to be filed down a little and she went over board. She also cut and made my cuticles bleed all over. I came in just wanting them to be shaped and painted and she cut off more skin than was needed. After the woman in the photo butchered my cuticles and cut me, and my nieces fingers, she handed me off to a new tech because I couldn't hide the frustration on my face. The next girl she sent me to, was much younger, and was very gentle with me and kept apologizing for her. She cleaned it up as much as she could and offered to do a no chip at a discount but I didn't care for a discount. I would much rather pay full price and NOT get by cuticles cut up. The first woman prepped my nails as if she didn't want to. The second woman did a great job on painting my nails. I was satisfied with how careful and neat her work was. I was just very unhappy about the over all experience of the nail prep. I've been coming to this place for years. I have sent my family and friends here because I used to trust in this place. I used to live in the neighborhood and even though I moved out, I still drive here to go to them, but this experience has changed my mind. We won't be coming back. I stopped getting manicures for a long time because this has happened before, so I would usually just go in for a pedicure and do my own nails at home with a matching color. Looks like I'll be back to doing that after this experience. Please do not let the woman in the photo do your nails. I cannot stress enough that she doesn't not care about the health of your nails. The other women there are good and I have never had a problem with them but unfortunately my time here has come to an end. read more

Shocked they didn't have higher ratings - they are great. best manicure ive found in the area

Manicure and Pedicure have been here twice and left happy they do an amazing job. professional, friendly , Vibe friendly calm. All techs are amazing. read more

The owner contacted me and she was very nice. I did want a detailed design and not all the techs are skilled at that so call in and specify. The pedicures are great and my mom's no chip lasted over 3 weeks. read more

Clean nail salon and quality work from friendly staff. We were taken for our appointments on time. Will be back!

Christine is literally the best manicurist I've ever had. She knows how to do any design idea I have and has great suggestions when I need them. The salon is friendly and welcoming! read more

Went for a polish change. It's $5, but since they have a minimum credit card charge of $10, I had to pay cash. Their polish selection is not good. They are old & you can tell by the separation of dark color and old color. There's a few selection of Essie, which I like on my manicure. A little less than half of them were OPI, then other brands such as Orly, Color Z (or of sort but that's a lot of highlighter type summery colors). I would give it 1 star but since the technician was nice (not necessarily friendly), I'd give it 2. There's a parking lot but space is limited & tight so you risk getting your car hit or scratched. Since it's a corner store, they tried to display everything away from the windows and therefore, I felt very crammed in there. I didn't have a good experience. read more

I've been a client for a good five years at least. I used to go for the convenience (it's close by me) and the M-R $ 30 mani-pedi special. I put up with the eyesores and I'm not too squeamish about hygiene----it needs a rehab since the 90s and there's dust from before the pandemic. Further, they rush you in and out and I'm sure it was inadvertent, but they've literally scraped my ankle open in the past. Well, I was there today and the mani-pedi special either no longer exists or is now $35. read more

I've been coming here for your years. I've sent people here but they are really hit or miss as of late. The last time I came the owner cut my cuticle so short that it bled because she was going so fast for absolutely no reason. She didn't apologize. So she started her speedy pedicure again and I had to tell her to slow down or will walk out if I am cut again. After this experience I took a break from them for some time. I came in with my daughter today and a new girl took me. I sat down put my feet in as she told me too. The HOTTEST water was turned on directly on my feet. Sorry Nail Care. I will not be returning. read more

Not sure if it's the nail tech that I ended up with, my experience was not good. My full set wasn't the greatest here's why: First reason: Square shape came out to be lifted upwards and no it wasn't my fingernails that made it that way cause it's not my first time having a full set. Second reason: French tip was to thick and when asked to make it more of a slim look she said it was because of the nail and French are supposed to cover the tip part. This may have been because the tip was upward Third & final: The top coat was bumpy it wasn't a clear coat nor a pinkish coat. When I asked about it she said when it dries it should be better WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. In addition the premises is dirty ( oh I almost forgot the paper towel she used to clean her brush with fell and she continued to use it! Nasty & yes I said something but as you can tell she has a reason for every comment). The ladies did sweep up while I was there so I can tell they attempt to make it clean but the dwelling itself is just run down. Color selection not to updated and most of them look like they have already been refilled with the chemicals they use to water down. Not sure if I would go back read more

It does not look like much from the outside. But customer service is great. They do a wonderful job on my nails. I usually get a mani/pedi. I also love how they remember their customers. You can tell that most people are regulars. Its my neighborhood nail place, and I am really glad I found it. read more

I love these ladies, patient, kind and easy to work with. Not forgetting accommodating.

This is the place if you want any kind of bling on your fingernails or toenails. Nail bling really isn't my cup of tea, but if I ever want my french manicure tips covered in rhinestones or my toenails covered with silver snowflakes, the gals here are glad to oblige. For me, a simple spa pedicure and no chip manicure will suffice. I walked in with no appointment and even though the place seemed busy, they were able to get started on my pedicure within 5 minutes I walked in the door. The gal that did my mani/pedi was super sweet and did a great job. I hate it when the tech cuts down the sides of the toenails and I instructed her not to do it and she understood and complied. Unlike some places that just nod yes and still do what you tell them not to. Their no-chip color selection isn't as vast as other salons but its still a nice selection. What I didn't like about the place was that it is really run down inside. The walls need some patching and a new coat of paint, the floor needs new tiles and the stations are stained with past polishes. It's also quite cramped in there so conversations carry and the aroma of nail chemicals is pretty apparent. Another reviewer said that parking was a breeze...really? I snagged the last spot and it was a pretty tight squeeze. NC shares their lot with a Dunkin'Donuts/Baskin Robbins so it makes for a nice coffee before you get your nails done, but the parking situation seems quite tight. read more

Actually two and a half stars...unfortunately. In my search for another manicure salon (my favorite girl has cut her hours way back) I heard that one of my other favorite manicurists "Cindi" has now switched to this salon. Cindi was there...the quality of salon I like...wasn't. We were under a time restraint so Cindi worked on my daughter and "Tony" did my manicure. Now don't get me wrong....Tony and the rest of the staff were very, very nice but..."Nail Care" is... not the most attractive of salons, not the cleanest of salons, does not use the best quality products and, does not have the freshest/newest of nail-polishes available. The worst part...my nail polish is now all bubbly. (I left before I was fully dried, or else I would have addressed it before I left the salon) It's driving me crazy every time I look down and see my fingers! To close on a positive note... 1. They honored our reservation and didn't make us wait (there were ladies waiting) 2. Plenty of available parking in their parking lot 3. Monday-Thursday they offer a mani/pedi special for $30. Don't think I'll be going back...even for Cindi. read more

Love this place. You walk in and they know your name very friendly. Comfy massage chairs. Sometimes they will leave me in a chair for 15min. I love it getting massaged! ! They do a great job on cuticles. Monday - Thursday is $30 mani pedi. So it might be busy. read more

I have been going to Cindy for many years to get French manicure. After a short consultation, I couldn't be happier. She suggested me a perfect shape for my nails. The product what she applies at the end keeps my regular!! (not no chip) manicure stay for 2 weeks. Unbelievable! Amazing service! read more

I went to get a no chip manicure yesterday. Not only was I there for 2 hours just to get my nails painted, the process of them doing my manicure wasn't what I asked and now my fingers have cuts on them. This is not ok. I may get an infection due to the lady cutting my skin with the tool too deep. It's so painful! Just horrible for a nail tech to cut your fingers. I've had my nails done before and I never had anyone cut me like this place did. They didn't even offer a discount for cutting my fingers. Pictures are attached. I told the manager I wasn't pleased with the service, and she just said "it's fine, ok" and didn't really listen to my complaints. On the other hand, the no chip polish wasn't applied properly nor my nails aren't evenly filed and they are shorter then what I had asked the lady to do. When you look closely on the 3rd picture attached below, you can see a black hair strand on my middle finger. Nails looks just awful. I am really upset with how everything was handled and I will never go back there to Nail Care again. The whole ordeal just wasn't professional. Oh and to mention this place is so filthy. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Today's my birthday and I decided to get my nails done at a new place. This is my first yelp review I've ever written but I feel this place really deserves it. She took her time and made my nails perfect! I 100% recommend, I was being very picky with how I wanted them and they were so sweet about it and did exactly what I asked. read more

First and foremost, it pains me to even give this nail salon one star. I have never experienced such an unpleasant and painful experience in my life! I walked in expecting to get a gel fill with No chip over and the girl started drilling and tried to pick my nails off with her nippers. Instead she was stabbing me and I was screaming to her and she continued to stab me, then she just threw my nail in pure acetone!! I started screaming! It was burning and throbbing with blood!!! I walked out! I did nails for twenty five years and have never hurt anyone!!! I would NEVER RECOMMEND this place! Not to mention how filthy the place is! Watch out for infection!! The Absolute Worst!!! read more

I called ahead of time to see if they had a waiting time frame... and the lady said "no come in" As soon as I got there everything was rushed!!! I couldn't even choose my color she was rushing me to sit down...(I was getting acrylic) she practically glued the nails to my skin! And as she tried ungluing my skin she cut me!! GREAT!! Then a someone comes in and says she has an appointment with that lady so she goes even faster... the nail lady and whom I believe is the owner started arguing.. that she didn't know she had an appointment... the owner then said to wait that she would finish my nails... she started on my nails..she was Using the nail drill super rushed as well (it started burning my nail) !!! And then someone walked in wanting their eyebrows done so she stops what she doing to go do someone's eyebrows..didn't even want to stay there any longer just paid for what was done and left!! read more

Tony and Nina are amazing at their jobs! I highly recommend this nail salon to each individual out there because they have the best prices, sweet customer service, and make you feel comfortable/relaxed. Tony and Nina do the best foot and arm massages as well as no chip manicures! Visit them, you wont be disappointed! read more

Linda, Cindy and Tony are great people. The other little sweet Asian girl that does pedicures is always nice too. Yeah, on the outside it doesn't look like much, the inside is small. However, the previous lady saying that they are unsanitary is FALSE. I've been going there for years and so has my mother and we have never once had a problem with them. Linda does amazing designs and they are one of the very few nail salons period that does NOT charge for a cut down. I get overlays on my nails with gel, and they always look amazing still after having them the full two weeks. I highly recommend anyone to go there for any kind of nail or face waxing services. They are reasonably priced and very kind, attentive people. read more

Came here because the other nail salon I go to in the area was very busy and I didn't have time to wait. Got a manicure and 2 days later, you can't even tell. Six of my nails have already chipped. Also, the people who work here are VERY rude and I did not feel welcome from the start. Last, this place is dirty. Will NEVER go back!! read more

My manicurist was nice. However, when it got busier she ended up ignoring me. I got a french manicure and at the end I showed her that my nails has air bubbles, and all she did was cover it more with another coat of clear polish.....I ended up leaving with air bubbles in my nails...and its not just few airbubbles....its ridiculous air bubbles! read more

The girls and guys are very talented and super nice, I've been going there for about 5 years.

Tony is the best hands down. He is the only one who does my nails, I've been going there for 2 years and never disappointed. I recommend nail care ask for Tony. read more

Fantastic friendly neighborhood place. Went there for the first time today and spent $25 on a Saturday for a pedicure. Definitely a fan

This is the only nail place I go to. Regardless of how busy they are, or how many people they have waiting behind you, they take their time and do a quality job EVERY time. I've tried the Lee Nails and Rose's Nails that are a dime a dozen, and I always end up coming back to Nail Care to fix what they messed up. They take the time to learn their customers' names, (they even ask me how my daughter is every time I come in), preferences, and genuinely seem to care about each customer. The prices are great, especially if you combine services (Mani/Pedi specials, fill-in/pedi specials, etc.) They even make my 8-year old daughter feel special. For only $5, the price of a basic polish change, they cut and file her nails, paint them, and do adorable designs on all 10 nails. She loves going with me. It's a little neighborhood place, so when it's busy you may have to wait, but it's worth it. Also they're always up front about the time.. "Jess, it's going to be about an hour. Do you want to come back? We'll save your spot." I've had places stick me in a chair with my nails in a bowl of room-temperature water for over an hour. I'll take honesty over being ignored any day. read more

Great experience here. I had Cindy 2 (there are 2 Cindys I guess lol) and she was great. I had a mani-pedi and she was gentle and awesome.

STAY AWAY!!!!! Been going there for years and they do a great job for the $. In early June I had an acrylic nail placed on my big toenail (I injured the matrix many years ago and it was too short). I started to notice a discoloration under the nail polish about 3 weeks after. Went to a professional and upon removing told me it was nail fungus! Eeewww! Was told to go back and show them as there equipment was likely contaminiated - not to mention performed correctly to avoid fungus. When I went to show them (I was discreet and professional so nobody could hear). The girl went to get the owner/manager...? who started yelling that "everyone knows you get fungus with acryilics - we tell everyone and you were told" ----I CERTAINLY WAS NOT!!! WHO WOULD THEN HAVE THIS DONE!!!??. She appeared annoyed and gave me instructions which I could hardly comprehend due to her accent. She then walked away leaving me standing there! I quietly left and decided I would make sure to post my review warning everyone. If this was handled in a better manner, I would not be writing this. Now I need to go to a doctor and spend money! I'm told it's very hard to get rid of and looks nasty! VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET!!! read more

I am a regular customer at this salon and while I agree they don't have the newest colors or freshest polish, up until today I thought that the service compensated. Today it did not. It was a busy day, but still no excuse not to take customers in the order in which they arrived. No one had a reservation, they just sat me down and said they would do my manicure before the pedicure, and then proceeded to ignore me. The 2 people who came after me were given pedicures while I sat and watched. I was there almost 2 hours and had people who showed up 20 min after me, leave 20 min before me. Absurd! read more

Love this place! I refuse to get a pedicure in Indiana - come all the way to Chicago to get my nails done here. They know the whole family and take great care of us! It is a small place, but that makes it nice and quiet. My pedicure time is my 'ME" time... I don't want to sit in a row of 20 chairs only to be just another foot. read more
