I've been coming to Nailacarte for a while and wanted to share some honest feedback about my recent experiences. While I truly appreciate the skill of my nail technician, the front desk experience has consistently been a source of frustration. On multiple visits, the two younger women working the front desk have come across as dismissive and bothered -- whether I'm checking in, asking a simple question, or processing payment. I've also overheard negative remarks made about other customers, which was uncomfortable to witness. Additionally, I've found it difficult to accommodate basic requests, such as being seated with a friend or requesting a specific nail tech. The front-of-house experience has made it difficult to justify returning. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as I believe it reflects a larger pattern that may be affecting other customers as well. read more

I really wish I had a better experience here for my birthday nails. This is my first time having a crooked nail after leaving a salon. My nail on my thumb broke in the middle of my service and she tried to repair with the hard gel. I noticed it was crooked and asked her if she could fix it. She filed it some, still crooked but not as bad as it could've been if i didn't speak up. She also seemed annoyed I was getting a basic color and no add ons. The whole experience was uncomfortable. I did mention to the front desk staff I didn't get the type of nails I wanted and they let me know how to ask for it next time. The only thing I could do was tip less, leave this review, and let others know about my experience. read more

I would've rated this place 5 stars if I was just talking about my own experience. I scheduled an appointment for me and my friend to get our nails done. I was paired with Jay, and she did a wonderful job on my nails. I was disappointed to find out that the one nail polish I found in the rack that I liked they ended up no longer having, but I found a good alternative. Jay was very attentive to everything, fixing a nail until it was right. I finished before my friend and oddly they dont let you tip on the machine, I had to open up Venmo after to tip Jay. I didn't mind though. There was a woman and a man sitting at the front desk, telling Jay how to properly input the price into the machine (didn't really get a friendly vibe from the two at the front desk, but I didn't really make much note after that). I tipped Jay and then left. My friend was doing a pedi so she took longer and I had somewhere to be so I couldn't wait for her. When it was time for my friend to pay for her set, she did the same as me, went up to the front to pay, woman and man sitting at the front desk in surveillance the process. And this is where my five star review turns into a three...they tried to convince my friend that I didn't pay for my nails and that she was supposed to pay for my set. They insinuated that I had just walked out without paying. My friend knows me well, but did want to double check with me. She told them that she was going to call me to just double check that I hadn't paid, and then shortly after she said that, the woman at the front suddenly remembered that I did pay. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt but it felt kinda shady... and after feeling a rude vibe from them from my own interaction, I feel this review is warranted. I would love to come back for Jay, but due to this service issue, I probably won't return. read more

I went into nailacarte to get a gel-x manicure. Sarah was my nail technician and she was great. She did a fantastic job! Her attention to detail and her eye for the perfect color made this a great experience. I wanted to do something different so we decided on an amber cat eye! The salon itself is nice and the staff are great! read more

High quality and clean salon. My full set of cat eye Gel-X cost about $120 including tip. Yes, it's expensive - but compared to other west loop or city salons it's about right. Even though it was expensive, the quality of my nails are the best I've received from any salon honestly. I was in and out in 1.5 hours - and they are perfect. My nail tech Heather did a great job and was polite. I know this place is expensive, but if you are looking for creative designs / perfection, I think it's worth the investment. They have a standardized process and really know what they're doing! read more

I came here for a gel manicure and regular pedicure before my wedding. Full disclosure, I won a gift card from an influencer on Instagram so I barely spent my own money. The salon itself is very clean and much larger inside than it looks from the outside. My gel manicure is French style and looks really pretty. The pedicure also looks good, but during the foot scraping part the technician got distracted and I left with a pretty noticeable cut on my foot. It was a bit of a bummer since I was hoping to feel totally pampered before the wedding, and now I am just hoping it heals up in time. Overall the nails turned out nice, but that part of the experience definitely took away from it. read more

Thank you KENNY for killing it with a new GelX Set fresh for the upcoming bears game! I can't say it enough - every single one of NailaCARTE's locations (particularly their west loop salon) is high quality - every single technician I've ever worked with did nothing less than an excellent lovely job. Staff members are friendly and accommodating. The vibes (in particular the west loop location) are super positive, trendy, yet still very relaxing. JUST GO! read more

Just tried here for my first time! I love the space! The guy working the front desk was awesome, he brought me tea!! I went to Marisa, I love the color of my nails. I got tips, there was a lot of trouble putting them on and I have nail glue on the back of my hands. I like the almond shape but these all seem to be different lengths. My nails are very streaky from the top coat, and some have chips/white streaks? I'm thinking from not allowing them to dry and putting on lotion too soon. I would like to try again to be able to have a better experience, I will need to try someone else. read more

I'm not usually a review type of girl but today I got a no chip manicure with kevin and deluxe pedicure with ana. no complaints about the pedicure whatsoever. but my manicure was the most rushed and half assed thing i have ever experienced in my entire life. cherry on top is they charge you a wrong price and don't apply a discount then when you ask them about it and want a refund, they can't even refund you although you paid in cash. they will only credit it al thought it was their mistake. honestly last 3 times there has been a bad experience and i don't plan on going back. when you have someone good, they're great. but most of the time their nail techs are not the best. read more

If you're looking for flawless nails and top-tier service, NAILacarte is the place; especially Eva, my go-to nail technician. As someone who is extremely particular about my nails (the shape, length, and especially making sure they don't look too thick), finding Eva made me so happy. She transitioned me to builder gel, which gives a much more natural-looking enhancement. She's incredibly detail-oriented while still being efficient, which I really value given my ever-changing work schedule. She also does beautiful nail designs. Once, I showed her a photo and she replicated it flawlessly. Eva is also super patient with me (and my indecisiveness), and helps with color selection without ever making me feel rushed. I go every two weeks and the flexibility in scheduling, sometimes even same-day, is such a relief. The salon itself is spotless and thoughtfully curated. It's always clean and inviting, with complimentary wine, water, or green tea, most times offered during your visit, but also available upon request. Multiple TVs throughout the space make it feel modern and relaxed, and the receptionist is always warm and welcoming. There's one receptionist in particular who always remembers my name, and it's those small details that make a huge difference. They also have a massive selection of polish colors! Honorable mention: Sunny! She's been doing my pedicures recently, and she is phenomenal. She's quick but meticulous, and her attention to shaping and overall nail care is top-tier. I had an issue with my big toe (cracked it in half--ouch!), and Sunny not only did an enhancement to protect it, but also gave me guidance on how to prevent fungus while it grows out. That level of care and knowledge really builds trust. If you're someone who values quality, professionalism, and a little pampering with your service, NAILacarte is it. Highly, highly recommend. read more

I'm so glad I got a chance to stop by this location! I live in the South Loop but I heard so many great things about them I had to try them out for myself. The customer service is great; everyone is really nice and helpful. They have a wide range of colors and they're great with designs! I had designs on my toes and they were amazing. The place is really neat, friendly and very comfortable. They havea ATMATM that doesn't charge a fee. Please note that there is a fee if you use credit card thus the ATM. But I will be back again and you guys should definitely check them out. They'll confirm the design you want to see if that's something they could do beforehand and I really do appreciate that read more
