    2 weeks with this no-chip and aside from growth, it's still perfect!

    Andersonville Nail Lounge is so wonderful. The staff is consistent, polite, talented, and kind. I have never had a bad experience in the 2 years I have frequented. They remember their clients, and they give wonderful advice on nail care. I highly recommend them!! Tips are preferred in cash, so be prepared. :)

    New favorite spot! I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the salon and the attention to detail. I will definitely be back!

    The scene - pretty dead

    I came her to get a much needed mani and pedi. I got the "spa" mani and pedi. I look forward to the hot wax treatments. The experience was a standard "ok." Nothing earth shattering. One thing to note is that they don't do "hot wax." They do collagen treatments. I had never had this done before. It wasn't as relaxing as the hot wax but the end result seemed the same. I would go there if I needed a service. However, I wouldn't expect to feel pampered or special in going there. Pretty much a standard kind of place.

    Second week of no chip manicure.

    I enjoyed the ambiance of this place and honestly loved the fact that it was close and convenient. 1) no mani no chip options. Literally there is like 18 colors. 2) they don't do dip powders...so nothing is really making up for the lack of color variety. 3) they don't seem to get a lot of customers of colors cuz I was getting gawked at from the stuff and customers. - I understand you can not control people ... but... customers won't comfortably stare if staff isn't also staring. 4) no chip should not be chipping on the second week if manicure. 5) so, I got a pedicure as well.... and the tools were NOT new. Everything that was used on me were tools that were simply rinsed off. - at a nail salon, the tools that are used on customers are supposed to be completely new.

    While the color and experience was fine, I feel like the woman doing my nails just did not want to be there. Granted, it was 10AM and for the first 15 minutes she was the only one of 3 women doing something and I'm sure she would have rather taken that time for herself. The only downside is that my cuticles that have grown into my nails (that most salons push back and cut off) it's still there. $35 for a fast gel is not awful but, I could also spend that amount for someone to do a full manicure.

    This has been my go-to no frills nail salon for a few years. The staff is great, they know me by name, it's clean, and I can always get in quickly. There's also a great selection of gel manicure colors. I really like Sandra and Ashley; they both do excellent work. Bonus: the massage chairs actually give you a great massage! Usually, I just feel like a fool, sitting in a vibrating chair while my boobs jiggle around, but these chairs leave my back feeling sooooo good!

    Sad big toenail. Plastic wrapped while still wet.

    Friendly staff and a nice place but when I was done with my pedicure, I was told to sit under this table for my feet to dry but there didn't seem to be any fan or heater or special anything under that table. so after about 5 minutes the woman put plastic wrap over my feet so I can put my shoes on. This seemed premature but I've only had a few pedicures in my life so I trusted her that my toes were dry when they were not. When I got home 10 minutes later, I carefully peeled the plastic wrap off hoping everything was okay but instead my big toes we're completely messed up. They were nice enough to squeeze me in at the end of the day but I wish they had not put plastic wrap on my feet. I was hoping to go back today for a touch up before I leave for vacation tomorrow a.m. but they are closed on Mondays. I'm out 37 bucks which is a bummer. Live and learn I guess.

    After a visit to Nail Lounge!

    Today, I had a really pleasant experience at Nail Lounge! I called at about 1pm to see if they had any open afternoon appointments for a mani/pedi; luckily, they had an opening at 2pm! I arrived shortly before my appointment time, was told to grab a color, and was in the pedicure chair right on time! As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is very quiet. Low music, muted TV, minimal chatting - just very chill, which I appreciate during my mani/pedi time. Sandra was great! Friendly, speedy, and very professional. I never felt rushed, but it was clear that this was process that was very efficient to their establishment. Price was great - $40 for mani/pedi combined. That included hot towels for my hands & feet, a light shin & calf massage, and a short neck & shoulder massage! No extra charges for any of those things! I'm from Indianapolis, but if I ever end up needing my nails done while I'm in the CHI, I would definitely check them out again!

    I popped in on a Wednesday afternoon (it's now Friday) for a gel manicure and pedicure. The space was clean and they were able to get to me quickly. My pedicure was done very fast with very little scrubbing to remove dead skin or attention to detail. The nail polish is already peeling on some of my toes and it's only been 2 days. My gel manicure was done quickly which is normally appreciated and a nice neck massage was included. However, I'd rather have had the time spent on the actually polishing. The coats are inconsistent and lumpy (the kind of lumps that start to peel mid-First week) and is already peeling is some spots. Super bummed and won't be going back.

(We were lucky to get in last minute with a major football game falling at the same time as our appointment). The interior of the nail salon is so calming, love the soft lighting, the pleasant background music on, TV with close captioned Golden Girls going and bohemian interior with its crystal chandeliers, Moroccan stencils on one window, subway tile on a wall, and French chic pieces throughout. You don't feel like you're in a nail salon. Estella and Michelle did our honey and milk spa pedicures (the upgrade was worth it) and regular manicures. Both were great and our paws and hands feel so much better as a result. I wish this salon existed back home... I love the little touches as well on how this salon supports good causes and takes the longer route to remove gel versus electric filing which always feels like it damages the top of my nail.

I've been to other nail salons for the same service and it took half the time and did not chip. I wish them well but don't think I'll be back.

The tech was impatient and reluctant to address issues like debris in the paint and the fact that my nail is split on the side. She just said "your nails are weak" and that was that. I asked her to file it, she said it would mess up the design. Like she didn't want to correct the oversight if it meant she'd have to redo that nail. The owner knew I wasn't happy and offered to fix it if I come back. No ma'am. I'll get somebody else to do it. ON TOP OF THAT, when the tech put lotion in her hand, I let her know that I didn't want any. She opened the bottle and scraped the lotion off her hand back into the bottle. No gloves, just her hand. I'm sorry it's one thing if you do that at home with your own personal bottle of lotion, but not with something that you're going to be using with other customers. WILD.

They were able to fit me in as a walk-in and got to work right away. However, instead of using polish remover, the nail tech used a nail drill. I don't recall other salons doing this, but I didn't put up a fight. It was deeply unpleasant and left my nails all banged up. Once they were done, they talked me into doing a new manicure. I said why not, probably because I like the look of polish on my nails. The nail tech rushed through it. The layers were uneven, left polish on my skin, and there were bubbles in the application. They didn't tell me when my drying time was up, so I sat around for a while and then dazedly walked toward the front to pay. At least they didn't charge me for the removal, only the manicure, which was a very reasonable price.

Pedi: After cutting my nails, I asked her if she could go shorter safely- without making them too short. She nodded and cut the big toenail so short she drew blood. This is when I suspected she couldn't understand me. No massage, scrub cream was applied to my legs and then rinsed off-no scrubbing. No real attempt to get rid of calluses. Mani-my nails are on the shorter side and I just wanted them to all be the same length and shape. I had to correct her several times because she wasn't following those simple instructions. Some of my nails ended up lopsided anyhow. No hand massage, no lotion and sloppy polish application. I had to ask her to redo several nails.

I was able to schedule an appointment with Vanidy for the next day using the Vagaro app. The only issue I had with the app was if you want multiple services that aren't already bundled (i.e. if you wanted a regular manicure and a spa pedicure) then you have to book two separate appointments. Also there's a discrepancy on how much the no-chip upgrade costs (website says $25 but Vagaro says $30; I believe it is $30). I was one of the first appointments of the day, so it was quiet and everything was gleaming. Vanidy got my pedicure chair ready first before having me sit down, which I appreciated. The chair was more modern and the massage feature was clutch. Vanidy was very thorough and treated my feet and legs with care. I opted to add the extra 10 minute massage, which was worth every second. I wish there had been a little more attention on the feet, but having the pressure relief in my calves was needed and appreciated. When we switched to the manicure station, I was pleased to see the furniture was more midcentury than a typical nail salon; made it feel cozier. Again, Vanidy had everything laid out for me and was again so thorough. In recent manicures at other salons, I've had to ask the nail techs to clean up spots where they left polish on my skin or hadn't painted all the way to the end of the nail, but not so with Vanidy. I was pleasantly surprised to get booties and warmer mittens on my hands during the paraffin wax treatment, and I practically melted being so relaxed. My hands were baby soft, which feels like a miracle in this cold winter. I am obsesed with both my mani and pedi and can't stop looking at them. I've been texting friends about Flawless and encouraging them to go, and plan on taking my friend here when she visits in March. While it's pricier than what I normally can pay for nails, I will absolutely be back when I next need a splurge.

MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.
