    I was looking for a nail shop in Park Ridge area since I had about an hour to spare and was in a desperate need of nail services. There were so many choices but based on reviews and distance, I went with Nail Republic. I called during the day to see if they can take me in at 3:45 for a mani/pedicure. I was told to come in at 3:45. I arrived a little early around 3:40. I was told to pick a color and wait in the wait area, per usual at any place. Around 4, another customer that was also waiting asked me what time was my appointment. I told her mine was at 3:45. Hers was at 3:30 for a gel manicure. I asked if she had been there, which she responded yes. So I thought it must be good to wait... She waited 30 minutes for her appointment. I was is in need of nail service but didn't have time to go to another location, so I thought I'd wait. At 4:15, a girl walks in like she was late, and it turns out to be my nail technician. I initially told her I'd only do a pedicure since I have no time for a manicure. But she finished my pedicure job so fast in 15 minutes, I told her I'd do manicure. I should've known when a technician can finish a pedicure that fast, it probably wasn't the best job well done. I got the manicure anyway because I needed one. I paid extra for long lasting regular polish. It did last a week but after I took it off, my nails started breaking. I wouldn't return here and when I end up waiting that long, note to self, just leave.

    Had a great experience at Nail Republic. Got a great no-chip pedicure. Very comfy chairs. Efficient and relaxing pedicure.

    I received a great pedicure. They have a great color selection. They have VERY comfy chairs. Efficient and relaxing staff.

    Nail Republic NEVER disappoints. They are so precise and attentive to your nails. They do a great job on anything service: Acrylic, no chip, dip, even pedicures! They are so welcoming and kind. I love coming here!!

    The lady who did my nails cut me so many times from over aggressive filing which makes no sense when you look at them because they were poorly shaped. I was told my inspo pick could be done, however they kept trying to add a dark green with yellow to make the bright green, then couldn't do the auro at all. The French tip was wild..... I was upset at this point I just said paint them, paid and left. 138.00 for one solid color with chrome is insane. I've had fully drained nails done for this process.

    I got my pedi done today. I missed getting pampered, and this place was familiar. The actual toes nail paining is still mediocre, however, i'm really grateful that this place uses sanitary plastic liners for their bowls. I feel safe coming here, but i just wish they'd do a better job at painting nails.

    We're both smiling - trust me!!

    I've been going to Nail Republic since they opened. I've gotten service from several staff and have no complaints. My niece started going there and had issues with her no chip - they fixed it and she has been going to them for the last two years. She droves all the way from Pilsen in Chicago to get her nails done there. The are super Covid-19 conscious and I appreciate their efforts!

I showed a reference photo of the exact design, color, and nail shape I wanted, but the final result looked very different from what I requested. The shape was uneven, the color did not match the reference, and the design details were not executed well. I understand that inspiration photos may not always turn out exactly the same, but this set missed the mark in several ways. Another part of the appointment that made the experience uncomfortable was the overall conversation during the service. The technician spent much of the time talking about very sad and angry situations happening in her personal life. While I understand that everyone has difficult moments, a nail appointment is usually a place people go to relax and de-stress. Listening to a lot of negative personal issues throughout the service made the atmosphere feel heavy rather than relaxing. Between the disappointing nail execution and the overall environment, I left feeling very unhappy with the experience. I hope Level Nail Bar takes feedback seriously and focuses on both the quality of the work and creating a more positive, relaxing experience for clients.

    Hi I asked originally if I could get acrylic for shaping for my pedicure . I wanted a classic…read moreFrench tip . However when I got seated one of the employees that wasn't even working on me asked me what I wanted . I replied that If it was possible to get acrylic for shaping (like even just a tip on my big toe ) and it'll be a basic French tip. she asked if it was just for my big toe and I said yes . She then proceeded to say that they won't be able to do it . Already throwing me off but then I asked if she'll be able to do gel to give it shape then. THEN she said only if I get a manicure as well which I did not ask for. This was already baffling behavior and I am nervous and confused because I have gone to multiple nail shops that either do acrylic an gel or do one or the other but I understand and continued on with the service . Just trusting she understood when I explained what I wanted multiple times. when I thought she was done with the client next to me I thought she was gonna start on me next but out of no where she sent another employee that doesn't know what I asked. i had to explain AGAIN what I wanted now stuck in the chair. she asked if I wanted a file I said yes for all of them to be straight like I think that an obvious thing that every nail salon does I just wanted the gel or acrylic for the edges so it could be squared. I felt a bit awkward an during the whole process because there was another customer next to me while i was already feet in tub waiting and explaining to the employee that's working on the other customer what I wanted when she didn't even work on me nor communicate to the other employee what I wanted. ALSO SIDE NOTE !! I'm pretty sure they use the same foot scrub for every client I understand sterilization but I'm pretty sure you'll have to change those out for every client also while she was scrubbing me and washing it off she used the same water I've been dipping my feet after getting my heels scrubbed and that's why you have the hose to spray the clients legs down.

    Most of these ratings are for the previous owner. New owner now and it shows!…read moreI have been here in the past and came for a deluxe pedicure. I called ahead and they said I could come in. When I arrived the place was empty. The owner?/manager? Was curled up in a pedicure chair and covered with blanket. I was glad because now they do dips there. After the service I got I would not return. She did nothing t get up out of chair when I came in. I understand it was empty so the other 2 were on their phones. She told the gentleman to do my pedi. He got the foot bath ready for me. I had trouble communicating with him. He spoke little to no English. He kept talking to the manager during the whole service as though he did not know what he is doing. Needless she never got up to help or check what he was doing. While I was there another gal came in for a mani and a pedi by the third employee. She was finished with both before I was close to leaving. There was 1 coat of color put on my toes. At the time I doubted myself so I did not mention it. He was putting the polish on. He still had not done the mud mask for my feet. I asked the manager? What about the mud mask. She said that he would still do it. I thought how could he do it over the fresh polish. He used some CLEAR solution on my legs. Not mud and not mudlike. He wrapped my legs in a plastic wrap. Then aimed "steam machines" toward my legs and walked away and sat down. Did not say how long it was going to take. After 10-15 minutes I moved them off. It was not comfortable. The "manager" saw and called him over. He removed the wrap and looked at my toes. I was not sure if the polish made it to the edges. He said something to the manager and she came over. While she was he once again painted the edges of 4 nails. She took her finger to test if they were dry and smudged the polish. The color did stay but smudged. She painted over the 4 toes. He then attempted to put my flip flops on me in an odd way. Did not have success so I did it myself. She then said I could go when I wanted. I was not going to stay another 10-15 minutes to dry again. There was no drying table. I did tip him usually. I did not feel it was his fault. I think he was surprised. Also near the bathroom there is a sink to wash your hands. Above the sink is a large hole in the wall. You can see into the restroom! There was a picture or something against the wall from outside the restroom. It still left a nice size hole you could look into and still see the toilet. The highlight of the pedicure... online it said it takes 45 minutes. I was there 2 hours without staying to have my nails dry! I wish Rose had not left.

    Absolutely love it here. I've been coming here for a few months now and I have no complaints.
