    This was my first time going here and it was incredible. I went with my sister after getting a recommendation from my friend to come here. We both got full acrylic sets, and they came out so great. Ivy did both of our nails and was very meticulous. She constantly checked our nails to make sure they were even and shaped properly. She also was very good with asking what we wanted and following our inspiration pictures. I totally recommend this salon, and especially Ivy.

    2 nails completely off after a week. 4 others chipped and about to come off as well.

    Nothing like laying $55 for a sip to have it only last a week. Unbelievable. At my regular place I have to pry it off after three weeks! Joke. 2 nails completely off already, and 4 others chipped about to come off.

    I LOVEEEE THIS PLACE. I've been going here for years, as I don't trust ANY other nail salon to bring the heat. NICE NAILS in Park Ridge may be small and it may look luxurious, but the quality of their work is INSANE. I've never felt so lucky to have such wonderful salon so close to home. All of their nail techs have proven to be very detail oriented AND time efficient

    I've been coming here for years and it's the only place I go to when in Park Ridge. Always the sweetest staff. They're great and deserve a review so I finally got around to it. They know what they're doing. I've always been happy w my no chip manis from them. Nails look good for 2-3 weeks after & never chip - I just get them redone bc they obviously grow out. Always happy w my regular pedicures, as well. I've had all different girls and all of them know exactly how to handle my ingrown toenails (ew, I know but it's important) and are super clean and careful.

    Owner is rude and unprofessional with a nasty attitude
    Summer T.

    The owner had a nasty attitude and is unprofessional. When I was asking for Her to make my nail sharper and define them more she wanted to huff and puff in my face like a child. And rushed on my nails aswell, her work was sloppy i had 3 broken nails fixed and you can tell which ones they were because she didn't even spend her time trying to make them all the same shape and size. The polish was sloppy and rushed as well, if it wasn't for the pretty color i picked out or the fact I had work and this was the only place close by my job I would not have came here at all.

    Always 5 star work. I get acrylics done by Faye and as you can see by the pictures, she knows what she's doing. Very meticulous when it comes to reshaping during a fill. I've come here since I was in high school and even though I moved to the city, I still pop in when I want acrylic done.

    This is my nail exactly 1 week later.

    I came here about a week ago to get my nails done. I came at 6:15 and I asked for acrylic with gel on top. I showed ivy (owner) the shape and just wanted black. She went and did my nails and cut the length way shorter than I wanted before even asking how long I wanted the nails. She proceeded to rush and do my nails. She got done with my nails in exactly 25 minutes. Usually when I get acrylics it takes at least an hour how and a half. My nails are all chipped and one of my acrylics broke, and ivy was being extremely rude to me for no reason. This was the last time I will ever go there. I almost didn't tip but I did.

    The worst nail place I've ever been! They honestly do not know how to do nails. the girl that did my nails didn't even cut the cuticle, what kind do manicure is that? The paint job was awful too... my nails look like it's been a week since I got my nails done, and it's only been a day! They don't know how paint your nails close to cuticle... after all, they had no idea how to do cat eye effect , nevertheless, they still tried... and then said you'll see the effect better in the sun?! Lol charged 60$ for that shitty job and made sure I added a tip... and 2$ extra charge cuz I paid with credit card! DO NOT GO TO THAT PLACE, save your time and money: thank you

    no chip mani

    SWEETEST LADIES!!! they do a great job!! LOVE this place :):):) have been coming here for a while now!

    Anna I.

    I broke a nail at work and needed an emergency mani. I received a fill with no chip and Mia did a FABULOUS job! EXACTLY what a wanted for a fair price! And waited only 5 mins despite being a walkin! AMAZING work!

    Nails don't even fit my overall fill size

    My nails are okay but the lady cut them really short and when I asked for a coffin shape, she rounded them a LOT. When I asked for a half sparkle on my ring finger nail, the lady put sparkles on the entire nail. Anyways, it gets even worse, my experience was horrible. I has made an appointment and they made me wait about half an hour for me to even think about what acrylics I wanted to get. The acrylic nails don't even fit the overall size, and the painting was poor because main parts of my nail were left out. I do not recommend going here unless it's for a pedi. I had to pay $45 for this job.

    Worst gel manicure ever.

I got a pedicure with gel polish to treat myself for the upcoming Easter weekend. Nadesh did a wonderful job taking care of my cuticles and removed the ingrown parts of my big toenails. I had no idea I had them, but I'm so glad and relieved that Nadesh carefully removed them to avoid future pain. If you're looking to pamper yourself with pretty nails or to treat yourself extra, Boujie Nails is the answer. And making an appointment online is straightforward and easy.

I came in with terrible natural nails, I did a manicure with gel overlay and I came out with the most beautiful nails ever! Top service! I don't remember the girl's name, but she was very attentive and kind. Also - the salon looks very nice. By the way, I came to this salon on the recommendation of a friend, whose nails always look flawless! And she definitely gave me a good recommendation. But, I obviously have some problem with my nails because everything peels off my nails. I put on acrylic - the whole nail falls off, I put on gel - the same. I tried Amelia paraiso in hope that it would be better, but unfortunately it was not. The same situation happened and these peeled off after just 5 days. However, if I have a problem, that's not a reason to rate them bad, it is not their fault. They really work beautifully and are worth a visit. I will have to keep looking for a place/technique that will make the gel stay on the nails for at least 2 weeks. but if you don't have problem like I do, go and visit them, you will be delighted!

    LONG REVIEW WARNING: I've read the few reviews on this place but I've had a different experience…read moreand hopes this helps. This IS A VERY PRICY nail salon but I don't mind because the QUALITY is worth it. You get what you pay for. E-File technique is just more costly. The decor is sleek, modern, simple, and warm colors...gold, emerald green, pink, and white. It's a clean and an inviting environment. First of all they take their safety and cleanliness serious and during COVID it was amplified. Each client must wash their hands before your appointment begins. They sterilize all of their reusable tools that are sealed and have disposables files for each client use. I've watched them sterilized each station after every client and even Saran Wrap the pedi chairs. What I love about this place is there is no waiting. Whatever time your appointment is booked for, that's what time it starts. The only reason they would be late is if the client before you ran late, I've only experienced that twice. The 1st time I waited no more than 5 mins. The second time my tech called me ahead of time to warn me to come 10 mins later. There are no random ppl in the salon, only ppl actually getting a service done. There is a waiting area but no one is ever waiting unless they come like 5 mins early. The time allotted for your desired service on the booking site is TRUE, so plan accordingly. I love the quality of the products they use, they last a long time. My manicure (gel overlay) last 3-4 weeks. My pedicures last 6-7 weeks. If you add up the cost from a typical Asian salon that is cheaper, you'll actually spend more because you'd have to go every 2-3 weeks. They have an assortment of colors. I also like they don't have a ton of different polish brands. They may have two if that...probably 1 brand difference types. I've never had an experience where any of the ladies were rude to me nor did I witness that with anyone else either. There is definitely a cultural difference for me and sometimes it may be just a TAD bit difficult to understand everything so quick but it is not bad at all. What I've learned dealing with various cultures, some react differently. Because of this, I think they limit conversations unless you initiate. However, they are focused on working and doing a good job. They aren't overly out going and bubbly personalities but they are kind and professional. The owner and her team take their quality serious. One time she didn't like how my nails looked and she didn't charge me. They looked fine to me but it wasn't to HER standards, the tech was fairly new at that time. I didn't complain at all, the owner didn't like it. That made a forever client. If you're looking for trendy designs, this isn't that type of establishment. They specialize in technique, classy and classics. They do designs but minimal and classy. Their weakness is staffing. It is not fully staffed but the owner has been actively working to hire ppl. For a long time during the pandemic, it was only 2 girls plus the owner but they have added a 3rd person that has been there since the beginning of 2022. Because of this, it is HARD to get an appointment on top of them being good. The regulars know to book for future appointments. Lastly, their cancellation policy. I have to admit, I've fkd up a couple of times with this policy and it was a hard pill to swallow. However, it was my fault each and every time. If you don't cancel within 24 hours, they will charge you 50% of your service. If you are a no call no show, 100% and I've done both. Imagine having to pay $200 and not getting your nails done. Then rebooking and paying again. Lol I wasn't laughing at the time. But to be fair, it is hard to get an appointment so to have a cancellation or a no show on the day of and not be able to fill that spot can hurt the techs pockets. It was my fault so I just ate it. However, as a regular, the owner did accommodate me in another way. I was grateful about that. The only suggestion I have is that they give you a 48 hour reminder of your appointment instead of the 24 hour. By the time you get the notification, if you cancel it's a charge. Now I put a reminder on my calendar 72 hours in advance. However, all of these policies are stated on the booking site. I'm a happy customer and will always give them business.

The most recent time, the nail tech was on FaceTime the whole time with her phone on the floor so constantly looking away from her work and into the phone.

I've only had this pedicure for a few days but I will probably soak off soon because of how rough and sloppy it looks. $45 for a 8 minute careless pedicure. Won't be back.
