I've been here three times now and my experiences have varied from AMAZING to just OK. Jason was my first and last. The first was incredible, particularly the very deep shoulder and neck massage. It alone was worth the time and money. Unfortunately, my last visit with Jason was just ok and my manicure began to chip/peel from the bottom up about two days later. I saw someone else in between and she was "meh." The place itself is very new, nice, and clean. Parking is easy in this part of town. read more

Love this place! Came here for a pedicure, and it was amazing! I'm a nurse, so my feet are inevitably dry, beaten up, nail polish a disaster, and my heels terrifying. The pedicurist, however, took on the challenge and seriously worked harder than any one I have ever seen to whip my poor tired feet into shape. The sweet lady scrubbed my heels 3 times, for that alone she deserves a medal. She patiently buffed, moisturized, and otherwise gave my feet the TLC they needed. My nails look gorgeous, and I felt so happy and relaxed afterwards. I used to go to Nail Palette on Foster and Clark, but after some rude service there and after this lovely experience, I will definitely be coming here from now on! read more

Went here today, best customer service I have ever received/seen in a nail lounge. They make your nails look perfect! Very relaxing. Note to first timers:tip in cash read more

Went in for a no chip manicure and had a great experience. I hadn't gone to a nail salon in years! Mostly because of my bad experiences. After reading the reviews of this salon I decided to give it a chance. What's not to love about this place!? -nice and very clean! -it doesn't have a smell like most salons -the people are quiet and friendly, nothing like going into a walk in salon with all the chatter going on in foreign language, you never know if they're talking about you -the manicure was great, the woman took her time and made sure it was done to perfection -the neck, back, and hand massage I got was just delightful Overall my experience was a very relaxing one, I'm definitely planning on becoming a regular. I strongly recommend! read more

This salon has the best no-chip manicures I have ever seen! Two weeks after, my nails are still perfect, with the exception of the growth showing between the polish and my cuticles. Sunny and her staff are wonderful, the service is quick and precise, and the salon is very clean and organized. This is one of the quietest salons I've been to, which makes for a very relaxing experience as well. Just be sure to get an appointment, evenings and Friday afternoons can get a bit crowded. read more

Nail Lounge - This is my manicure AFTER two weeks! Not a chip in sight, they still look perfect except for the growth. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here today for a pedicure and they did a really nice service. The room itself is pretty basic but the treatment was a little better than average. All in all a very pleasant experience! read more

Had a great experience here. Booked two pedicures a day ahead over the phone. Had to push them back a half an hour, which they accommodated, and then eventually, due to traffic, was even 15 minutes later than expected. Not cool customer conduct! Even though it was less than an hour before closing, they were still super friendly and agreed to honor our reservation. Great pedicure, clean place with a nice environment. I'm really happy with my pedi read more

I am happy to have found the Nail Lounge! On my first visit, I got a no-chip manicure that was beautiful and lasted for more than two weeks. I would have been able to keep it on even longer, but my nails grew out. I also went with several friends to get pedicures, and we were all very happy with the service and the results. Two weeks later, my toenail polish still looks great. I will definitely be back soon! Julie read more

I tried this place recently for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Great staff, clean facility, fantastic job on my manicure & pedicure. Highly recommended! read more

Frankly I left there so unhappy I'll never go back or recommend it. Yup, I'm trans Sara at nail lounge! Do you have a problem with that? Next time someone trans comes in please don't laugh because you don't think their voice is femme enough for you. I'm happy with myself just as I am and paying money and having to deal with that crap won't cut it for me. Maybe bio females get better service? I sure hope so! I left with average at best cuticles a pretty crappy buff and my toes look like I could have done a better job myself. 45.00$ (+5.00 extra because I chose an OPI long last polish??? seriously?) so for 57.00 tip included (yup still left 20% my bad). I feel ripped off! read more

I've been to Nail Lounge twice now. First experience was great with Ashley (mani/pedi). I also had an unexpected shoulder massage which was an added bonus. This place is also open on Sundays which is great! Prices are competitive. Wait time minimal. My second time was good but not as good as my first because a different nail tech didn't apply color evenly. I do like this place though and will ask for Ashley next time. read more

I live right by the Nail Lounge and it was my first time. I went in for my first pedicure today and I loved it. I didn't get the lady's name who did the pedicure but she did an awesome job and gave me the best massage ever. Sunny finished off the actual painting and did a great job as well. In the end they finished it off by giving me a back massage. Everyone there is super nice and friendly and the place smells nice and clean -very important. Overall it was a great experience and I'll forsure be coming back! read more

My nails looked really scary before I went in here and I think Jason did a good job fixing them up. He did nip me a little on one of my thumbs but he cleaned it up quickly. He gave me a shoulder and hand massage at the end, which isn't really my style, personally, but it added to the relaxation. I didn't wait and the service was thorough but quick. It was a little quiet for me - Jason is not much of a talker, but he did a good job on the nails and said I could come back and they'd fix them for free if anything happens to them. read more

Nail Lounge - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I don't usually write reviews, but this was so bad. Will never go here again. I went in just for a simple eyebrow wax. First, I was bleeding because the tiny bit of tweezing she did after she pinched my skin horribly. Second, she missed a TON of hair. I had to tweeze a bunch at home. Third, I had to remove globs of wax from multiple parts of both eyebrows myself. The worst waxing I have ever had. A huge waste of money and time. Very disappointed. Save yourself the effort and go somewhere else. read more

I have been going to Nail Lounge every 2 weeks since they first opened- 5 years ago? I always make appointments. I have never been late, never been a no-show, and I have brought in many customers. One time when Sunny accidentally double-booked, I was happy to wait 45 mins for her. And then, one day, I admit, I was careless holding her polish display, but I assure you, it was not intentional. She humiliated me in front of the entire salon. Then, she refused to talk to me. I was stunned. It did make me feel better when I read some other reviewers who had similar stories. I feel bad for the many hard-working technicians there, but, sadly, I will never go back there again. read more

There are a bunch of nail places near, or in the neighborhood. Andersonville, Edgewater, Rogers Park, Uptown etc. This one didn't stand out much from the others. Not bad. Just nothing spectacular. I will probably try one more time and see though. 3 stars for now. It's a nice clean place. You get a nice massage if you'd like too. Would be nice if they had a lower price (like many other salons nearby) on Mondays & Tuesdays for manicures. read more

Love this place for nails and waxing. Always get in when I need to. I appreciate the non-overwhelming gel color selection. If I ever get a chip, they will fix it for free. Tips are only in cash. read more

I stopped in here recently, randomly too, and was very happy. It's super quiet, which I wasn't expecting but was very relaxing. The next time I am in need of a pedicure, I will definitely go here just for the calm atmosphere. The massage was also unexpected (should have read the reviews!) but so, so nice. I will definitely be back. read more

I absolutely ADORE this place. Sunny & her crew are absolutely top notch and I can see why people were devastated when she left her last salon. But now, she has her OWN salon and it is perfect. It is almost unbelievably spotless, they use all the best products (including using the nice OPI led no chip dryers...no gunky, gross old ones) and they are the sweetest crew around. I am so lucky that this is literally a 5 minute walk from my house, but even if it was further, I'd come here. You will not be disappointed! read more

My favorite place in Aville to get my nails done! I've been like 3-4 times now. Super friendly and very clean. They always do a fabulous job! I usually like to call about an hour ahead of time to make sure I can get an appt but many times people walk in and only have to wait a few minutes. Definitely very reasonably priced also. read more

Very clean, good prices, great colors. Just an excellent place all around. And the no chips last forever. i wish Sunny would open another one near Broadway and Granville. read more

Popped in on a Tuesday for a quick, pre-Grand Canyon hiking pedicure. Place was quiet and relaxing. Sat and watched Jeopardy! on the tv while the woman went to work on my (sorry about the upcoming description here) ugly, calloused, ingrown toenail- infested feet. She did a great job. So gentle and quick, yet thorough. I got a great calf and foot massage, as well as a shoulder rub at the drying table. This was all in a matter of 45 mins. I noticed that it would've been cheaper to get the mani/pedi for $35 dollars (just the pedi plus color was $30), but having hiking- ready feet was more important than cute nails to match. Thank you, ladies. I will definitely be back!!! read more

Despite the poor review on waxing I went in for a quick eyebrow wax while my boyfriend was at the dentist across the street. I did not like the results my brows look uneven and very round. it was a nice environment but definitely will not come back for any waxing read more

Highly recommend. Clean, good products, excellent color selection. If you like no-chip they offer a wide variety of shades and brands and they are the best I've experienced (most careful) at removing no-chip polish. Pedicure stations have massage chairs and all technicians do a good job with hand, shoulder massage for manicures. read more

Ehhh. There are so many nail places in Chicago, and this one just doesn't stand out. My no chip manicure only lasted a week, and even chipped on the same day that I got it. My no chip manicures usually last about three weeks at other nail locations around here. Other than that, the technicians were nice and the place is relaxing, so three stars for that. read more

I have been going here for over a year for manis and pedis. Very clean and professional. I love their extra back massage. I have never been disappointed. A perfect manicure every time. I recommend this place to all my friends. And have taken friends and family here with me. I have been to other more expensive spas and they pass them in quality and cleanliness. read more

I love Nail lounge. They are so conveniently located close to my apartment. Soko is absolutely the best. She is always kind, thorough in her work and has great taste in helping me pick out colors! Very cozy atmosphere but most of all I go back every time for Soko. read more

This has become my favorite nail spot ever. Yes, it took a while, but Nail Lounge did become my regular salon! Uka is amazing with no chip manicures. The 3 I've gotten from her have all lasted at least 20 days without peeling. Mostly my problem is just that I hate my nails going past my fingertip. If I didn't cut them, who knows how long it would last. Most of the nail techs are pretty quiet, but I think that's how Sunny likes it. Sunny (the owner) is very sweet, understanding, and accommodating. She has gotten me in to see Uka on very short notice and always takes good care to be sure I'm having a good experience. My advice is to go on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday evening. You'll want to make an appointment any other day. read more

This is my favorite nail salon in Chicago! The owner and technicians are super nice, very careful and extremely efficient for the great job they do. The salon itself is impeccably clean and always organized, and has a zen-like serenity. My favorite product that differentiates them for all the salons -- they use an amazing smelling lotion instead of that nasty smelling pink stuff. They have a $35 mani pedi special that runs Mon-Wed which I loved until I got hooked on the no chip manicure. I just can't go back to regular now for the shine and staying power, plus no fear of smudging post-appointment. read more

Completely the kind of place you'd drive past if you didn't know it was there. Yet inside is spa-like, very clean modern and relaxing atmosphere. Nice selection of polish to choose from. The nail techs were very good at what they do. I even got a nice shoulder message with my manicure. I highly recommend this salon! Here is piece of advice: bring cash for the tip. read more

I am so happy I tried this place! It is a new salon, so everything is new and clean! It is nicely furnished with new spa chairs and new contemporary furniture. It is not tacky like so many nail salons. Thankfully, there is no soap opera blaring in a foreign language- the techs are not talking loudly between each other -there are no oversized pictures of dragon lady nails. It is quiet -music on low and often feel like I could fall asleep during my service. I get the no chip with pedicure which is $60. Ashley ( I think that was her name!) did my nails last time and the manicure looks great. The manicure easily last two weeks plus but my nails grow out. I usually park at the paybox on Clark but there is street parking nearby on the side streets if you want to park a block away- it's a residential area so the parking is not bad during afternoons. Tips are in cash only and I have always been a walk-in during the afternoon during the week. read more

I've only been here once, but this is my friends' favorite place for mani/pedis. And it's BYOB! Great Friday post-work, pre-happy hour destination. read more

I'm glad to see Sunny opening up her own salon! she is amazing and the rest of the staff as well, I always find myself coming back along with my mother for our usual mani pedis& they also offer great deals on both! read more

BEST PEDICURE I HAVE EVER HAD. Seriously amazing! She worked on my dry heels until they were smooth as a baby's behind. Very clean, quiet, and relaxing. HUGE selection of Essie and OPI polish and nice products. Get the spa pedicure...you won't be disappointed! read more

MAGNIFICENT!! Nice, clean, and relaxing atmosphere. LOVED IT!! The lady Sunny who answered the phone was very sweet and accommodating. I made an appointment for 3:30 pm on a Sunday and by goodness! They were ready for me when I arrived. :) The polish I chose for my toes was a really light neon green Orly polish and unfortunately, it had a few "light spots" in it after my tech finished. I went back to her, pointed them out and she added another coat with NO PROBLEM AND NO ATTITUDE. I gave her a $10 tip just for that! My toes look FABULOUS and the massage before and AFTER I got out the chair was also TO DIE FOR. You can find a decent pedicure almost anywhere, but GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE with NO ATTITUDE and A REAL MASSAGE to go along with it is VERY RARE. And, this place had it IN SPADES. If you just want a cheap $20 pedicure to "get it done keep it moving," I can totally understand that. But, if you have the time and an extra $10 bucks, this is the place for you. It will be the BEST sawbuck you have ever spent on your tootsies. TRUST. ;) NOTE: They accept credit cards but TIPS ARE PAID IN CASH ONLY. read more

Really pleasant ecperience. I came in for a no chip mani and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. My nail tech was absolutely wonderful. She was so precise and meticulous and did a beautiful job. I never got her name but I'll certainly be looking for her next time. The place was very clean and welcoming, and it wasn't freezing cold from AC like a lot of places! That's a huge perk for me. It's fairly priced for the service they provide. $35 for a no chip mani, $40 for a frenxh no tip mani. Love it here, I'll be back! read more

Really a disappointing experience after reading all the 5-star reviews. I was the only customer with 4 tech's on hand . . not one said "hello" or acknowledged me when I entered or told me where to hang my coat. There is no excuse for rudeness. My nails were chipped and breaking the next day. I wanted to find a new place in my new neighborhood but this is not it. read more

Great new find in my neighborhood! The Nail Lounge is going to be the best kept secret until all my neighbors in Andersonville find out there's a new nail place on the strip. I got a mani and pedi, complete with a little massage. The place was bright, friendly, and ultra clean. I couldn't have asked for more! They are running an Grand Opening special of 20% off all services, I paid $32 which is like a Wednesday special everyday! I'm also signed up for a frequent customer program which gives me 5% toward future services ($1.90 in credit.) I will definitely be back! read more

Nail Lounge just opened in walking distance to my home so I thought I would try it. I will now be a regular! The staff was wonderful and the Nail Lounge is beautiful and spa-like. Everything was exceptionally clean and it was one of the best mani-pedis I have ever had. read more

Great place!! Everyone is super nice and the service is excellent. It was my first time here and they were closing in an hour but even with my mani/pedi done at the same time, it was a great experience. I would highly recommend coming here to anyone! read more
