I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!

I came to this salon in May after an acquaintance recommended it and because of its positive…read morereviews. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. During my appointment, the nail technician caused deep rings of fire on 8 of my 10 nails. While I don't believe the damage will be permanent, it will take time for my nails to grow out and recover. I've had my nails done at many different salons over the years, and this has never happened to me before. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this salon.

Got an appointment quickly on a weekday afternoon (unheard of with my regular place), centrally located in Wrigleyville, clean, relaxed, the staff were easy going and super nice. Sarah was my tech; she cleaned up my grown out no chip like a pro. I wanted them to look natural and very clean. Mind blown! Best no chip I have ever had in my life! Thank-you Sarah!!! And this no chip was $20 less expensive than I have been paying for the last two years. Will be back again and again and again!

They are funny, kind and do a great job. One of my nails was broken, but to fix it would have required cutting my nail super super short...before my wedding. It wasn't an issue to them. They put some tape on it, glued it, and painted over it...and you can't even tell. My nail is perfect. Thank you for such a great job! $40 for regular mani + pedi. $55 for gel.

Wayne is hilarious and simply the best! Prices are very reasonable and decently less expensive than downtown Chicago. It's a bit of a hike north from where I live but always worth the trip! 5 stars for Hi-Way Nails and 10/10 recommend!

Amazing service & even better customer care!…read more I recently moved to the area and it took me a few months to find a nail salon I really liked. I walked past Pride Nails, loved the aesthetic, and decided to stop in for a no-chip chrome pedi. The experience was so relaxing, but the next morning I noticed I needed a small touch-up. I sent them a photo and texted to see if I could come back & this is where they really earned the 5+ stars... Vi was apologetic and immediately offered to get me in the next day. Work got away from me and I couldn't make it, but instead of forgetting about it, she actually followed up with me to make sure I came back and got everything fixed. That really impressed me. She got me back in, made the touch-ups I needed, and I left very happy. Great service is one thing, but customer service like that is what makes you come back. Safe to say I found my new go-to pedicure tech! Definitely recommend Vi & Pride Nails.

The base price was $68, with an added $20 for "cuticle trimming." Is this not a standard service for manicures? I've been here before and I do not recall it being nearly as pricey, so I'm not sure what has changed. In addition, my nail color (both times) ended up being completely different than the one I picked out on the display. I'm not sure why. Don't come here unless you plan to spend $100+ for a basic manicure that's a drastically different color than you chose.

I thought service here was nice but felt a bit rushed. I think it's because i walked in and came before another persons appointment, so the nail tech had to rush to make sure that persons appointment was on time. Despite the affordable price, I don't think I'd come back based on the quality which is a shame because it seems like tons of people on Yelp love them.
