Hands down the best no-chip manicures!! I'm a nurse and work a ton with my hands. Other places I have had issues with the no chip still chipping, but not here! They last for several weeks no issue. The girls are so personable and we always have great chats. They don't have the massage chairs, so if you're looking for something a little more traditional I would go elsewhere. They also don't do the dip manicures. For me, though, the quality of the nails outweigh the seating situation. The shop is cozy, clean, and always has fun art. I would highly recommend booking in advance. They often don't have time for walk-ins since they have so many regulars, but they are super accommodating/flexible with their schedules. read more

Came here for a classic pedicure which is listed as $30 on the website but it actually costs $38 (they said they can't update the website for some reason). I am happy with the pedicure and they had a nice variety of polish to choose from. This place definitely has a boutique vibe - pretty small and simple. Regular chairs and a round bucket (as opposed to the massage ones with built in foot spa). They don't have any fans or drying tools so I sat and waited for quite a while for the polish to dry. Best to make a reservation because it seems that they have many regulars. read more

Nails Boutique - Inside - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First time at this salon. Great atmosphere and the ladies took their time to do the style and color we wanted BUT on the second day after my visit, my thumbnail started chipping. For a no chip manicure at $53, this is very disappointing. I wish I could recommend this place more because my tech was extremely precise and overall did a great manicure. I was super happy when I walked out but now I'm pretty frustrated that my nails are already chipping after 2 days. read more

Obsessed with my fall green nails!! But who is surprised- nails boutique is the only nail salon in Chicago I will go to! They take such nice care of my fragile nails, they look perfect every single time, and I have never had so much as a chip on my nails when returning for a new set. They are so friendly and accommodating to my weird schedule! read more

Nails Boutique - Army green no-Non-Chip Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I made an appointment for a mani/pedi for me and my fiancé on Valentine's Day. It was such a relaxing experience! The ladies who work there are friendly and attentive. My polish came out great and my fiancé couldn't stop staring at how clean his nails were! This place is BYOB so bring something to drink if you'd like. They wear gloves and masks at all times and guests are required to wear masks too. I will definitely be back! read more

I started going to Nails Boutique about 2 years ago when I moved to the neighborhood and cannot recommend it enough. Bozena and Nina are the absolute best - kind, funny, conversational, accommodating, and by far the most talented nail technicians I've ever been to. I see Nina regularly for no chip manicures and spa pedicures (highly recommend if you're seeking a more indulgent pedicure - complete with essential oils and warm booties) and her work is stunning. I always get tons of compliments on my nails and it's thanks to these women. Walk-ins can be a little tough to accommodate because it is a smaller nail salon and they have many loyal clients that book further out, so make sure you call ahead and book what you need (and bring a bottle of wine or champagne to your appointment ). read more

I found my "nail"-home. This place is a hidden gem that is tucked away in Lincoln Park. I love this nail salon and love how cozy and homey this nail salon is. There are two nail technicians and both are phenomenal. I get my nails done by Bozena and I have never loved my nails more. She takes her time and is EXTRA patient with my indecisiveness. I highely recommend their no-chip gel maniure and Bozena does the best pedicures. *FYI - Call to make an appointment (really hard to "walk-in" especially because there is just two of them). *FYI - street parking directly across from the nail salon *FYI - toilets are downstairs down a windy stair case so use the bathroom PRIOR way prior to getting anything done on your finger nails or toe nails... cuz girl you bout to ruin them on the way up. read more

Had the best gel manicure here! It lasted for almost 6 weeks perfectly! The staff was so friendly and attentive!

We brought our bachelorette party here and let me tell you, they were freaking amazing. They were so accommodating to our needs with getting in 4 of us, and were ready when we arrived. Nina and Bozena did amazing jobs on all our nails, and just overall a 10/10 experience. Bozena also became the best photographer at the end and now we have so many photos to remember this experience. If we weren't all from out of town, I would 100% make this my new nail salon. read more

These women are horrible and I've had nothing but awful pedicures never ever again. They are mean and nasty. Horrible service.

This is the best nail salon I have been to since moving to Chicago! Everything is clean and staff is incredibly courteous and accommodating. There's also a nice selection of the current magazines set out by each pedicure chair. There are three nail technicians who work there and it never feels too busy or like they're rushing you. Also, they have a wide variety of colors in regular polish as well as gel. I have an appointment here every two weeks for a mani/pedi read more

Nina is the best! Always does a perfect job! My nails last for about a month when i do no-chip which is amazing. The place is so cute and relaxing. and the owner is super sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend it. read more

Nails Boutique is the salon I've been waiting for! I live a short walk away and the service here was impeccable, so I will definitely use this as my go-to nail salon. I got a gel manicure and the attention to detail and care was the best I've had. She spent so much time on each finger and they look awesome! I went on a Tuesday at noon and I was the only customer, but she said to always make an appointment because they do get busier closer to the weekend. Total was $40, I didn't have cash for a tip so doubling up next time :) worth every penny though!! Thanks again! read more

Nails Boutique - New gelish color - I already forget what it was called ! But I'm obsessed. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing service and best non chip in town. Really more than just nails, very friendly time! Also, BYOB which is fun for a ladies night! read more

Such a great Saturday afternoon @ Nails Boutique. This will be my new go to spot! My no chip mani and pedi are to die for! A gem in Lincoln Park! read more

The best!! I genuinely look forward to getting my nails done now. I started coming a little over a year ago after damaging my nails with acrylics. Nina has worked with me since to regain my nails health & strength. After about 6 months my nails were completely healed and I regularly get no-chip now with absolutely no issues. read more

I've been going to this place every 2 weeks for about 6 months now and I'm obsessed! It's cute and comfortable and I'd trust my nails with any one there. I love Bozena or Samara for classic no chips and Jessica is amazing for more creative/artistic designs. Can't go wrong here! During the terrible winter months I kept having issues with breaking nails and Bozena was more than welcoming when I would wander back in for a quick fix. Highly recommend! read more

Nails Boutique - Nails by Jessica - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love nails boutique. I have been a client of Bozena's for many years and I was thrilled when she opened her own salon in 2014. I am always warmly welcomed by both Bozena and Samara as if I am a guest in their homes. They have every color imaginable across several brands of regular and no chip polishes. Salon is very clean and comfortable. Nail services are top notch, always relaxing and pampering. They always offer drinks and usually some small snacks too. It is wonderful to have Nails Boutique in the neighborhood and always a treat to visit. read more

To start off: I will be back! This is now my go-to for my nail needs! These ladies are so friendly, funny, sweet, and GREAT at what they do! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and charming. I love that it's smaller because it makes you feel like you're in someone's home vs. get in and get out. Nails Boutique is an EXPERIENCE to be had! I will be highly suggesting them to all my girlfriends looking to treat themselves. I got the spa mani + pedi since it had been awhile since I've gotten my nails done and they were in tough shape. I can't even believe the bottom of my feet - so smooth and nourished! Definitely not a necessity for each time, but definitely worth it every so often to keep my feet healthier. I'll be back for more often now to help my nails grow out & become more healthier thanks to these ladies! read more

I got a spa mani-pedi with Nina on a Wednesday night and it was wonderful. She did a great job and was very sweet and didn't seem to mind I was zoned in on my magazine instead of chatty. I was so relaxed I could have fallen asleep. Love the space, it is so cozy and warm and I felt at home! I actually quite liked that they have a separate basin that they fill and wash out completely after each pedicure -- to me it felt much cleaner than a faucet/basin combo for pedicures at bigger salons that I always worry can't be cleaned completely. read more

I've now been here three times and feel confident saying that this place is great! The women who work here are so nice and professional. I've never had a better manicure! I've had two regular manicures and one gel. The regular ones didn't chip until about 6 days in...which is a miracle considering how hard I am on my nails. The gel one was also great and didn't get weird looking before it was time to take it off. They like to make sure that you get a nail color you want. I ended up getting two colors mixed per their suggestion to get the perfect pink. I usually don't like to get pedicures due to a really bad experience with one at a nail salon, but decided to take a chance here before I went on a beach vacation. They are super sanitary at here. They use basins (not the stations with drains/hoses like at most) that they fill at a sink and completely sanitize between each customer. I'm really glad I found Nails Boutique! I'll be back! read more

I LOVE this salon! I came here a few weeks ago for a pedicure with Samara and was completely impressed. I also just went today for a no-chip mani, again with Samara. The salon is super cute and small, which I like because the conversations are quiet and it's never too busy -- I always leave extra relaxed! Samara really takes her time with each hand/nail. My pedicure lasted forever (still looks good over a month later!) so I know my no-chip will be the same. The prices are more than your average corner nail salon, but I'm 100% okay with it. I love the service and the ladies who work here are so nice, so I'm proud to support it! Come visit! read more

Went for the first time today. And it was great! Samara was so lovely. I had found Nails Boutique by searching Mood No Chip Manicure. They had a lot of colors to choose from and were extremely patient while I was being wishy washy about a color. Very clean. And I will be returning! read more

This place is a small, cute and relaxing spot. The owner is wonderful. I was in the area looking at real estate and decided to get a pedicure post house hunting. This place was such a great find! Highly recommend read more

This place is amazing! If you're looking for a warm and welcoming nail salon with incredible employees this is the place for you. My girlfriends and I brought a bottle of wine and went in for manis and pedis for a birthday and had the best time. Everyone working there is incredibly professional and kind and our nails looked great at the end. It's a small salon so definitely make an appointment, but if you go in I promise you won't be disappointed! We will be going there only from now on!! read more

After living in Chicago for 5 years, I knew I needed to break down and find a place I loved for getting my nails done. I found it on the first try. The two owners at Nails Boutique are incredible. They have absolutely nailed the neighborhood retreat vibe. Before I even arrived, I called to make an appointment. The owner reminded me on the phone that they are BYOB and to feel free to bring a bottle of wine if I would like (it was a Friday). They referred to everyone that walked in by first name, and quickly picked up on mine as well. After being greeted, we were offered water, tea and snacks. The entire experience felt like I was hanging out with old friends. My pedicure was fantastic. $30 and my toes look like new! She payed careful attention to details and I loved that all of the products have natural ingredients. I got a $5 off coupon and signed up for emails to receive more offers in the future. I will definitely be going back and bringing friends :) read more

Just left Nails Boutique with a fantastic pedicure! The salon is cozy and the entire staff is delightful. This is a place I am hesitant to review, because it may become everyone's fav! read more

The nicest people work here. They are so funny, have a sense of humor, and I genuinely enjoy getting my nails / toes done here. Went for my first time last week for a pedicure (called to make an appointment), and it was a wonderful experience. You sit in a comfortable chair instead of a pedicure chair. Much more of a boutique-y feel than a typical hole-in-the-wall salon. $30 for a pedicure and $30 well spent! Only con is that you can't tip on the card, but no points off for that because I had a great, relaxing experience. No TVs either! Definitely my new spot for monthly pedicures! (Love that they have wine glasses so that you can BYOB.) Thanks ladies :) read more

Im visiting from New York. I called last minute and they squeezed me in for Spa Pedicure. Both ladies were so nice and the pedicure was amazing. I don't think my feet have EVER been this soft. I gave her a well deserved generous tip! The hospitality and service quality is one of the best I've ever experienced. read more

I love this nail spa , been coming here since it opened , and I have been getting my Mani/pedi's done by Samara for 11 years she is amazing , she truly is great at what she does and she is very nice and listens to what you want, or helps you decide on what service is best for you which is a plus for me! I would highly recommend this nail spa and any of the technicians here they are great and very professional !! read more

I am in town for work and overdue for a needed pedicure. These ladies were amazing! Not only did they do a great job on my pedicure, but the conversation was extremely delightful and funny. I don't think I have ever laughed that much while getting a pedicure. I will definitely be coming back, even if I have to travel from my home state. A+++ read more

This nail salon is so cute and the staff is so friendly! The 2 women who were working, got me in right away with no appointment. Definitely my new favorite nail spot in Lincoln Park. read more

Went for a No Chip mani after finding this salon on Yelp. I had searched for "very clean nail salons" after having a bad experience at another salon in the neighborhood. Bozena made me feel so comfortable and took great care of all my nails. She did a perfect no chip with a simple design that I had seen a picture of from their yelp page. It is close to three weeks later and not a single nail has chipped or broken. Their services are well worth the price and you can feel comfortable knowing the technicians are skilled and the salon is very hygienic! read more

Fantastic nail salon! I got a gelish no chip manicure and the appointment took exactly 1 hour. Bozena was incredibly friendly, thorough, and didn't rush through the appointment despite having a busy Saturday. I was offered tea, a warm neck wrap and an extensive hand massage. My nails look PERFECT. They even gave me a $5 coupon for my next visit and a free bottle of cuticle oil. The best part is they are a 5 minute walk from my house!! After 4 years of living in Chicago, I've finally found my go to nail salon. (I'm pretty picky so this is huge.) read more

White women. I say that with no good or bad inclination, just not a common thing to find in a nail salon. The ladies running the place were all very, very nice. The place is not your standard industrial salon. Eclectic furniture makes up the stations. Pedicure chairs are not spa or massaging; it is just an arm chair with a wash basin for your feet. No dryer which was inconvenient. Color selection was a bit lacking. It is in a great location. Overall, personally, I disliked their vibe. The quaint salon made to look like your living room, was an atmosphere I don't prefer. read more

This place offers warm and genuine customer service; You can tell that the girls that work here truly love what they do. My technician's name was Jessica and she was so kind to me. She did such a stellar job with my regular pedicure that I asked her if she had time to do a no chip mani for me. Without hesitation, she delivered one of the best manicures I have ever received. I used to frequent a salon in the 900 n michigan ave building for all my nail needs; I was convinced that they would be the best since they were so pricy and clean. I am such an idiot! Nails Boutique is probably the best in the city and at a fraction of the cost. This place has three pedicure stations and three hand stations since its three stellar girls who work there. I recommend making an appointment before coming in on a weekend or busy holiday. This place is definitely worth the wait! :) read more

I am beyond thrilled to have found Bozena. I am very particular about nail salons and a bit crazy about cleanliness. So much so, that I've spent several years trying to find a place I would feel comfortable coming to. Nails Boutique does not disappoint. It is cozy and friendly and my nails always look beautiful when I leave. I highly recommend Nails Boutique! read more

After three years of living in Chicago, I think I finally found my go-to nail salon! I called on a Saturday morning for an appointment and it was easy to get in with Bozena within a few hours. The space is small but cozy; 3 pedicure chairs and 3 manicure stations. They don't have the typical pedicure chairs, but they have phenomenally plush armchairs with pillows that you can arrange as you'd like. The other two women who were getting their nails done at the same time seemed to be regulars, which is always a good sign. I did the spa mani and pedi and it took about two hours, all told. My hands and feet look great, even five days after. Bozena took her time but I didn't feel like it was too much or too little. I'll probably do the basic ones most of the time in the future, but it's nice to know they have the spa option if you ever need a "treat yo self" kind of weekend. Plus, they are very grateful for your business and will give you a coupon during your first visit for your next visit. Thanks, ladies! I'll be back! read more

Just got a mani-pedi at this adorable new nail place in Lincoln Park right across from OZ park! This place is so much more than just getting your nails done. The two owners, Samara and Bozena, were so welcoming as soon as I walked in. I immediately felt right at home. Some of the highlights- the comfy pedicure chairs, heated foot pads, heated neck wraps, green-tea and BYOB wine. On top of that, it's very affordable! Highly recommended! read more

I'm so glad I tried this place! It is definitely my new go-to nail salon in Chicago. It's the best manicure I've ever received and the women working are very nice! read more
