Summer fun nails by May! When life gives you lemons, make the most of it! Clean place, friendly staff!

I have been getting my nails done at Nail Tech 8 for over 10 years. The service is always great, very clean and friendly. They have great selection of services and nail colors. They always check and make sure I am happy with the color or design. I usually get pedicure with no chip color and full set gel manicure with no chip color as well. I always call ahead and make an appointment to avoid waiting. With the COVID I really missed there service. Now that, they are back and opened, they fallow all the necessary guidelines. Every time I go, I get my own meni/pedi set, that includes all the supplies they used while working on my nails. Each customer gets their own. I also got my eyelash extensions done which looked beautiful. It was done with precession and expertise. I really can't say enough how great this place is.

Kenny shaped my nails.

Tracy does awesome pedicures and Kenny is good with gel nails. The owner is very nice one thing I wouldn't recommend is going to the older lady she doesn't shape the nails nicely and does not listen to what the customer wants she just does her own thing. Other then that this place is awesome. It's clean and the pedis are awesome.

Dip manicure

The place was clean and the woman who did my nails was nice, but she picked at my skin and caused a bit of bleeding, and the dip has chipped on 3 nails and split in half on one nail not even a week later. They were done and a Friday and by Wednesday it was cracked off in half. I've never had a dip manicure get ruined so quickly.

I had a wonderful visit at Nail Tech 8 last week. I went in for a no chip manicure and a NuSkin pedicure. I had a medical procedure done a week prior have been unable to maintain my feet for a while. The woman who took worked on me today (Mandy) was incredibly patient with some of the muscle control issues I was having and did an amazing job, especially on with my pedicure. It has been over a week and both my manicure and pedicure have held up beautifully.

Decided to do no chip mani and pedi at this place since I have an event this weekend. The employee that did my pedicure did a great job, but then she switched with another person. This other employee started doing my nails in a hurry since more people came and it was an hour before closing, which I get and have no complaint about. My nails seemed to look fine when she was done, but I really saw the botched nail once I got outside since I was trying to move fast out of their way for the next client. This is definitely frustrating since I don't do acrylic nails often. Make sure to really check your nails before leaving the place.

Yelped for a good nail spot around the area and found a 4 Star place with many reviews. I was so excited to try this place out as it's been rare for me to find a nail spot with 4 star reviews. I went in on a Thursday afternoon as a walk in since I literally did a Yelp search for around the area. When I first entered, there was that 10 second awkward silence that I didn't know what to do. One of the nail technician asked what I wanted, which was a pedicure. She said the typical line, "Pick a color." And so I did. 5 minutes pass by. 10 minutes pass by. 15 minutes pass by, and I am wondering, when am I going to get my service? I look around the workers to see if they'll be done soon. That was my sign to leave right there. All of them were in the middle of service, which most of them were gel nails. I patiently wait another 5 minutes. So after 20 minute mark, they sit me on a massaging chair, "thank God! I'm going to get my service soon." NOPE. I waited another 15 minutes on the chair. So from walking in to someone coming to provide me a pedicure, it took 35 minutes. I wish I had a heads up on how long it was going to take. The lady could've said it's going to be at least 30 minute wait. Or ask me if I can come back later. The pedicure service was good. I see why this place has 4 stars. However, at that point, I was so frustrated with 35 minute wait, which I could've been doing something else. Had she given me a heads up how long I had to wait, I would've made an appointment at a later time after running errands. I went in thinking it typically takes 45 minutes for a pedicure. I spent well over an hour for my pedicure service. If you're going to this place, take my advice. Make an appointment.

Very professional and relaxing, yet playful environment! I will definitely come back. The ladies wear matching pink tops that were so cute! Just moved from Georgia and searched nail salons and the reviews led me to try this place out. Walked in on Sunday and was seated instantly. I had dip powder/SNS on my nails and they patiently took it off (very difficult to take off). I got a no chip manicure for $30 and it looks great! Kenny was precise and did a wonderful job on my real nails!

By far the best nail salon! Moved from Cali to Chicago and have not been able to find a permanent nail tech until today. Hannah is AMAZING! Will be coming back for my fill.

After finally choosing to change nail salons.. I made the right choice. My nails grew out and I needed a fill so I came here. First impressions it looks like a overall very clean laid back place. They had music playing on the tv which I found pretty enjoyable. I picked out my nail color and asked the price of the fill because I was new to the nail salon. The prices were pretty fair with my two broken fingers. My nail tech (forgot to get a name) which was male did such a great job with my nails. This is for my nail people who are really picky with detailed work. He really took his time to not only fix my old badly shaped "coffin" nails and made them look so much better than before. I could tell he really didn't do a rushed job because he took his time making sure the sides where clean and painted as well. This is something my other frequent salon failed at. I was very happy with my experience here. Would recommend this to any people who are specific with there nails. Relaxing, precise, detailed work.

I've been shopping for a new nail salon since my girl left my old place. FOUND IT! I've been going to Lana - and she does an amazing job! Let the pictures speak for her work.

This is after my mani/pedi. These were "buffed" and I got charged an additional $3 for it.

The lady is also very nice. She recommended a pink cream style that suits my skin tone. My whole temperament is completely different!

TL;DR your appointment is meaningless and you will wait. And wait. And wait…read more.. CeCe Nails 2 is a clean, bright salon and their prices are competitive. The biggest issue, unfortunately, is time management. While they take appointments, the experience feels more like a walk-in system. Even today, I had a 1:00 PM appointment. I wasn't brought back to the pedicure area until 1:30, and my actual pedicure didn't begin until 1:55. Unfortunately, this has been a consistent pattern every time I've visited. Once my pedicure finally started, the technician seemed distracted, constantly looking around the salon, and the entire service felt rushed. Another disappointing experience. She even handed me off halfway through. The worst experience happened when I booked an appointment about a month in advance for myself, my sister, and my niece. We intentionally scheduled morning manicure and pedicure appointments because we already had afternoon plans. When we arrived, we were brought back to the pedicure area and asked to start soaking. After about 15 minutes, someone began my pedicure. Then things really went downhill. Thirty minutes passed, then forty, and my sister and niece were still just sitting there with their feet in cold water. No one acknowledged them or gave any updates. At one point, I asked the person working on me if she could please stop and begin my niece's pedicure instead. She responded, "5 more minutes, almost done," while pointing to other clients who didn't even have polish applied yet. After over an hour, my sister finally decided to skip her services altogether so they could start my niece's pedicure. While my niece was getting her pedicure, someone simultaneously started working on her manicure, which made the entire experience feel rushed and awkward. After more than two hours: *My sister received no services at all *I only received my pedicure My niece ended up with a rushed pedicure and *what I'd loosely call a manicure The most frustrating part wasn't even the delay itself, it was the complete lack of communication or acknowledgment. We were simply left sitting there with no updates. So if you need appointments to actually fit your schedule, or if you're planning a visit with a group of 2-3 people, I sadly can't recommend this location.

First of all, I think this is the first time I've been the first person to review a business…read more.. yippee !!! Second of all, I just don't know why it's taken me so long to do. With that said, if you live in the Niles, Des Plaines, Park Ridge areas, this is the BEST manicurist around, who is AMAZING at nail art (even if you don't live by, she's worth a drive). Even better are her prices! The value she offers is well worth the service. If you are new to the nail art game, it can be a time investment - my appointments for example are 2hrs - but, again, soooo worth it! The logistics; Elixir Beauty Bar by Traci Garcia is located INSIDE a salon called Chic Couture. It is not a stand alone business so you will not see Elixir on the outside of the salon business. There's plenty of street parking (free and paid) surrounding the business. The salon may or may not have someone to greet you at the door, but if you just let someone know you're there to see Traci or for Elixir Beauty, they will point you in the right direction. There's a coffee, tea, and water bar available right outside her door. Always good to stay hydrated! Traci, outside of being artistic, is super sweet. Very friendly. And she plays great music (especially if you like 80's music or 90's R&B, but also has a wide variety of genres). It's a good idea to have your ideas ready to share or show her, but even if you don't, she has sample art of what she can do all over the room as well as a deep range of colors. I book my appointments on styleseat.com and that also gives you an idea of all the treatments she offers. I specifically go to her for nail art on soft gel overlay, but she offers all kinds of options AND she's actually an esthetician, so there's an entire additional menu of services there that I haven't experienced. Additionally, she will send coupons out on occasion for different services. Hopefully she doesn't get too popular, otherwise I will have to fight to get on her schedule! But if she does get crazy busy, she deserves it. I love my nails every time I leave there.

Traci is a hard worker who is passionate of what she does as an Esthetician and Nail Tech. My daughter and I drive two hours for our appointments and I can say it's worth it!!

Here's an updated…read more PLEASE BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. I decided to give this place a chance anyway, and I seriously regret it because they completely messed up my nails. First, I called to make an appointment for three people. They asked what kind of nails we wanted and told me to send our nail inspiration pictures so they could decide which nail tech would be the best fit. I sent everything, but they never texted me back. When I arrived, they sat me with a lady named Vivian (or something similar). She immediately pulled out Gel-X nail tips. I told her, "No, I want acrylic nails." She then took out polygel instead, and I told her again that I wanted acrylic because I'm paying for the service I asked for. She kept insisting that acrylic was harmful for my nails and convinced me to get polygel instead. I also had an injured fingernail and specifically asked her to leave that finger alone. She ignored my request and put polygel on it anyway. While shaping my nails, she kept hurting that finger because the nails were extremely thick. She even admitted she wouldn't charge me for that finger because of it. Then she started filing with the drill and repeatedly burned my nails because she wasn't lifting the drill properly. The nails ended up looking bulky and way thicker than I wanted. The rhinestones looked terrible--they were just randomly placed on my nails with no attention to detail. To make it worse, she got nail polish and glue all over my hands and never bothered to clean it up. When it was time to pay, my total came to $115. My nails weren't even long, and I was shocked to find out I was being charged extra for polygel--even though I had originally asked for acrylic and only got polygel because she talked me into it. No one explained there would be an extra charge. To make matters even worse, the nail tips started coming off shortly after I got them done. For the amount I paid, I expected them to last, but they didn't. They began lifting and popping off way too soon, which made the quality even more disappointing. The whole experience was frustrating from start to finish. My friend's nails were almost identical to mine, yet I was charged so much more. Before I left, the nail tech started talking to the owner and seemed upset with me. They ended up not charging me for the rhinestones, but that honestly didn't make a difference considering how poorly the service was. I would not recommend this salon. They didn't listen to what I asked for, ignored my concerns about my injured nail, hurt me during the service, left my nails looking thick and messy, and charged me for something I never wanted in the first place. On top of that, the nails didn't even last, and the tips started coming off soon after. Definitely not worth $115. THIS PLACE IS ALL LOOKS IF YALL WANT CUTE NAILS LIKE THE INSPO JUST DONT
