This was just a bad no-chip. I wanted white but the color (as shown in the pics) is inconsistent in each nail and more opaque on some than others. I had red nail polish on when I came in and it wasn't fully removed, the excess polish around each nail was stuck to my skin. It just does not look good, and was not worth the price. I'm going to have to go somewhere else to get it redone. Very disappointing. Update: owner partially refunded after I posted this review. I appreciate that customer care. read more

I found Felicia through Yelp, and had to give her a try because of the great reviews. I used to get a no chip at a mall salon across the street from my work, but stopped after just 2 months because the way they scraped the polish off my nail was thinning it out! Felicia gently removes your polish using her own nail- and actually takes the time to soak it long enough. The product she uses is great, and so is the conversation. My favorite part... the salon is so quiet! Just me and her having a nice relaxing manicure. I can't wait to return! read more

I found this place through Yelp and have read the reviews. I decided to give this place a try yesterday evening. I have to say Felicia is awesome. She's a very nice person with great energy. She made me feel quite relaxed and happy. I'm also very satisfied with my No Chip Mani and Vinylux Pedi. The color I've chosen isn't a color I'd usually wear, but it's a very pretty shade. I plan to go back to her for occasions and my birthday. Thank you Felicia for great service and great nails ^_^ read more

No Chip Queen - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fabulous nails from the fabulous lady who does them. First thing's first: the product. If you look it up on the Internet the Biosculpt products she uses are the best there can be: no acrylic, no junk, nothing that will turn your otherwise healthy nails into yellow dried stumps. Props on that- I love my nails and had them damaged by thoughtless technicians who hid the reality of the product they used from me before, so this is a welcome change. What I absolutely love is that she does not force you to wear the nails all year round and admits that your naturals have to breathe every now and then no matter how good the product is. Now that is honesty, and not being driven by profit at the expense of someone's health. Again, love that. She also does not file the surface of the nail before polish application and that is something I appreciate. Moving on: application takes some time but the result is as awesome and clean as possible. The color is perfectly even, you can't see any streaks (I've had this happen with a no-chip manicures at other places I've been to). Removal is also a painless process, as she puts solution-soaked pieces of cotton on your nails and wraps them up to melt the polish. No dipping your hands into acetone that's being heated from below. No dry fingers afterwards, no fumes, no headache. It may take a few minutes longer than an acetone bath, but I'd take this over the nightmare of a soak nail removal any day. The choice of colors is more than enough, and she's constantly adding new ones in. You can find a color to match any occasion (this was one of the issues with other places for me- they had maybe 10 colors, 5 of which were different shades of pink- how often do they expect me to wear the same color, I like to change it up every time I come in). So there, that's covered. The cost is as reasonable as it gets. It's actually less than any other place I've ever been to and it's twice as better here, so that's a win right there if I've ever seen one. Last but not least- the quality of the actual manicure. Adding to what I've already said about it being flawless and all, it really lasts. No peeling. None. None from the bottom, none from the sides (again, I've had this happen when I went elsewhere). I know it's supposed to last two weeks, but I can proudly show my nails to anyone at the end of week three and gloat about how awesome they are holding up all this time. If it wasn't for the grow-out, you wouldn't be able to tell. If you're going anywhere else to get your no chip manicure done, you might as well just go ahead and say it out loud: you don't care if your nails will hate you afterwards. Seriously, go visit Felicia- your nails will feel the love. P.S. I usually don't care much about what others write in their reviews but this one caught my eye. There is one clearly unhinged person, who left a review about the salon not calling her to confirm her appointment and ripping the cool nail lady a new one without ever seeing her face to face. Lady! It's not the dentist, and it's not a colonoscopy. I've had my nails done in a few different countries on two continents, and nobody, no matter how fancy the salon was, ever called me to confirm an appointment. Places wh9ch do nails and hair usually do not do that, because how hard is it to put down a date in your calendar? Dentists and doctors do that because they stand to lose hundreds or thousands from your missed visits, and nail artist and hairdressers usually do not. What you wrote is cray cray. read more

The one thing in life I was still a virgin at....no-chip mani....jk :) Alas, I got some recommendations from yelpers on a thread and good old Bella E. suggested this place. Me and two friends make the trek up here from downtown on a Wednesday to see Felicia. Its easy to find and a quick ride on the expressway. Bonus to free street parking! The salon is no frills, which is fine with me. Felicia was there and super nice. She did a fantastic job explaining the product, etc. However, I know nothing about no chip manicures so she could have been selling me a used car for all I know. It looked perfect after she was done and two weeks later it was next to perfect. After the second week, the sides started bubbling a little, but you couldnt really tell. It was great! It was weird having the polish on that long where my nails were growing out...haha. There are an array of colors to chose from. Felicia herself is totally nice, hilarious girl! Easy to talk to, but not fake....like you know when you go to a new stylist and they talk your ear off and you dont really care....this was NOT like that. It was perfect conversation...not too much, not too little Plus, we got authentic Serbian coffee from the cute boys next door that made me cracked out on caffeine. First time is $25, I dont know how much it is after that. Like I said, its a bit of a drive, however, honestly its like 10 mins in the car, free parking, cheap and great quality! I am glad I went to Felicia to pop my no chip cherry :) read more

I've been going to Goca's Salon for my hair (Goca is fabulous) for a few years now, and recently when I was there I noticed a new nail station in the salon. I was in desperate need of a pedicure and Felicia was able to take me for both a no chip manicure (my first ever) and regular pedicure. She was amazing and I left feeling so taken care of and pampered. That said, if you're expecting a "spa" of sorts, then this isn't for you. If you're coming to Felicia, you appreciate an extremely well-done (and reasonably priced) manicure or pedicure by someone who truly takes pride in her work and wants you to be 100% satisfied. I have never experienced a pedicure where someone really spent several minutes (for lack of a better term) "detailing" my feet and toes prior to polishing them. Felicia also uses great-smelling products and spends the extra time to give you a lovely massage with a salt or sugar scrub. I really have to say it sounds like Chu b.'s review below is from an entirely different experience. Felicia is easily the most fastidious, professional, lovely, detail-focused nail professional I have ever had the pleasure of having do my nails. The no chip will last for at least two weeks, if not longer. My regular pedicure lasted about three weeks, looking GREAT, and in the fourth week it still looked okay. She worked really hard on making sure both were done impeccably, and clearly takes pride in her work. Also, Felicia recently got a new chair and has beautifully redecorated the nail area of the salon. She is such a sweetheart and I have already been back once. Go see Felicia--you will not be disappointed. read more

My no-chip toes are gorgeous! Felicia is AWESOME! She is one of the most thorough & hygiene-oriented nail techs I've come across. I found the No Chip Queen on Yelp & these reviews had me confident I would come out happy. Fellow Yelpers, thank you for your reviews -- Felicia is so nice & welcoming, she wants to make sure you have a great experience & that you leave happy with her services. Her prices fit my budget nicely too. She gets after your cuticles too! My toenails look super clean & the polish is flawless. Now that it's getting cold I typically get no-chip pedicures so I don't have to worry about my feet looking too jacked. She explained about how I often I should no-chip my nails & how best to care for them. She's available 7 days a week, which fits my schedule perfectly. Felicia is customer-oriented & uses Biosculpture, the best no chip product. But she's also very sanitary & knowledgable. She's got a great array of colors... looking forward to trying Cast Iron next month! read more

Felicia the No Chip Queen is FABULOUS! I've been getting no chip manicures for over a year and I needed to find somewhere closer to home to get my nails done. I found No Chip Queen and am so happy with the great quality of the products and the personalized service! She offers a great price for a no chip manicure and it lasts for at least two weeks! read more

Felicia does an amazing job! At first I was hesitant to try no chip manicures, I've heard they can ruin your nails almost to the same extent that acrylics do. However, that is not the case with Felicia and her Biosculpt products. I had a manicure last 3 weeks with only one nail peeling a little because I broke it first. When she took off the manicure, my nails didn't look any worse than before I got the no chip manicure. She has a huge selection of colors and takes her time. I definitely agree with DB - she is very hygiene oriented, which is a nice change from other nail places I've been. She is also easy to talk to and makes you feel very welcome. This last time I got my original no chip manicure removed, another no chip manicure, and a regular pedicure. She did an amazing job on both my hands and feet and her prices are very reasonable. I look forward to seeing her again in a few weeks! Make sure you call or text her 1-2 weeks out for an appointment, now that spring is coming, she is starting to book up quickly! read more

Just went to see Felicia, the No Chip Queen today, and my experience was exquisite! Even though I arrived about 30 minutes early, Felicia was able to take me right away. There is a cafe next door, and she had a cute waiter bring me a complementary cappuccino, which was delicious! Felicia and I chatted throughout my entire no chip pedicure, and I must say, she is an absolute delight! She is extremely nice and took the time to make sure my pedicure looked perfect. So, to sum it up: Felicia is a sweetheart, she does amazing work, and to top it all off, the no chip pedicure was only $35!!!!!! This is by far the best deal in town. I used to go to a competing no chip salon and paid $65, but never again. I've found my new salon, and I'll be here every month. Thanks Felicia! read more

I had my first no chip manicure done somewhere else. But after learning that if the wrong person removes your polish, that it would involve scraping, leaving your nail damaged and weak. So I decided to search for a nail tech that knows what she is doing. I found No Chip Queen through Yelp and trusted all the great reviews she had. She removed my polish gently with no damage to my nails. Whew! Felicia gave me a no chip manicure and pedicure right before I left for my vacation to Italy. It withstood 10 days of sandal wearing, non-stop walking on cobblestone roads and rocky trails, several stubbed toes, countless times of packing and unpacking, and rummaging through my bag every other minute to find and assemble my camera gear. In fact, it lasted 4 weeks (work got the best of me after my vacation and a part of me wanted to see how long this would really last). The nail polish looked as smooth and shiny as it did the first day it was applied. If it wasn't for nail growth, this manicure would have lasted quite a long time. I've gotten a regular mani+pedi from Felicia, too. She really is detail oriented. A perfectionist, even. My cuticles are neat, my nail bed is smooth, the shape is perfectly round, and the polish is shiny! Most importantly, she offers something no one else does - a very sanitary experience. Ever wonder how many times that pumice stone at your local nail salon has been used. Who it was used on before you? If it has ever been cleaned. Or if they ever clean the water jets in the foot bath? Doubt it. Felicia uses a new tub liner for each session. And uses a one time use foot scrubber. Nail files and nail buffers are all new and just for you. Felicia is a sweet girl. She is a one woman show and she runs a great business. I always look forward to seeing her! read more

After almost a year and a half I am still going to Felicia and loving it! I look forward to 'nail day' not only for the nail refresh but also for the fun company. Felicia is the kind of person you just can't help but be friends with. She genuinely cares about her clients and takes her time with you! I'm so grateful to have found this place and look forward to booking my next appointment in the upcoming week. read more

After spending hours on the internet scouring for a new nail salon/technician, I stumbled upon the "No Chip Queen." Felicia truly stands up to her namesake! Not only is her work amazing, she is a genuinely nice, sweet, and caring person. She takes pride in her work and it really shows. Her mani pedis are out of this world! I received a no chip manicure and regular pedicure over 2 weeks ago and I do not have one chip or lift anywhere. If you are looking for a high quality nail technician, Felicia is your woman! She has decades of experience in high end salons throughout the Chicagoland area, including the Gold Coast. She rents a space at Goca's Hair Salon. The salon owner never answers the phone; make sure you text or call Felicia directly to book your appointment. She will get back to you as soon as she can. This was by far the best mani pedi I have had in YEARS. I will not go anywhere else! Felicia is extremely sanitary. She always uses disposable pedicure bowl liners, new files, etc. While her pedicure chair does not have spa jets, it does have heat. This did not bother me one bit, as the quality of her services outweighs spa jets!! All of the polishes and products she uses are top of the line. She uses CLEAN products, free of harsh chemicals. If you are in need of a high quality manicure pedicure, Felicia is your lady!! read more

I have been getting mani/pedis with Felicia at NCQ religiously for months now, but simply have not had the time to write a review. Upon reviewing Felicia's reviews, I was really upset to see the 3 star review Felicia was given by Sam K, certainly not deserved! But instead of attempting to counteract every negative thing posted about Felicia, I will simply rave about her stellar services and let that speak for itself. First and foremost, I live in the South Loop and drive a good 20-30 minutes for Felicia's services. Felicia ALWAYS makes an attempt to fit me into her schedule. In fact, Felicia has taken me at late as 7:30-8:00ish before due to my hectic schedule. That is just one example of how dedicated Felicia is to her work and her clients. Secondly, Felicia's work speaks for itself and she stands behind it. That is hard to find these days and that is what I really appreciate about her services. I have never felt rushed and that is definitely something I experienced frequently before finding NCQ. Felicia takes her time and pays attention to the small details, that is why I always leave looking and feeling like a million bucks. Third, Felicia is the epitome of a professional. She usually books her appointments via text which is nice because she isn't constantly interrupting my services to book clients. Another thing I really appreciate is that Felicia goes above and beyond by making sure everything is sanitized and that her clients are comfortable. I've never observed Felicia wearing a coat, and in fact, she has always checked in with me in regards to my comfort level of the temperature in the salon. She has only explained her rationale behind using new buffers and files for each client and introduced the concept of the pedicure chair she uses at my first appointment. After that, I never heard about why she does things the way she does, but I continue to observe her pull out a new liner for my pedicure every two weeks in addition to pull out a fresh file and buffer for my services. While to some, this consideration may be overlooked, it is greatly appreciated by me. I pride myself on having beautiful nails and toes and I am glad Felicia keeps me looking beautiful and healthy at the same time. Bottom line is Felicia is amazing at what she does. You can tell she really loves to make people look and feel beautiful. I always leave my appointment with beautiful hands and feet and a smile on my face. read more

I am soooooo happy to have found Felicia the No Chip Queen!! I had my first no-chip manicure last summer and fell in love with the product -- now I've found a nail professional that has the attention to exquisite detail and fautless cleanliness that I must have. I can't wait to go back for my first no-chip French manicure! Just down the road from the Jefferson Park station, it's well worth the trip. I got the regular pedicure (since I plan to change that polish a bit more often than the fingernails) and am kicking off summer with Russian Navy toes and very soft heels, courtesy of her disposable callus remover pads -- anyone who has been unlucky enough to contract a fungus from a shared pumice stone or other pedi problem will be extra pleased with those. And to top it all off, Felicia is a delight to natter with and gives the finest foot massage I have ever experienced. I'm still loving that spring in my step! read more

I love my nails! Felicia is very thorough and knowledgeable which is important for me. She doesn't rush her clients and is very precise. My manicure lasted for 3 weeks and I am VERY pleased with my current manicure. This has become my new treat, I cant wait to get a pedicure. If you want great service and excellent quality, then call Felicia for your no chip manicure! read more

Felicia is a true to The game nail technician! Still loving manicure and pedicure from yesterday!! I'll be back to see her in two weeks!!! read more

I'm still a loyal client to the original No Chip Queen. She's a one woman show and has never let me down. Still cash only. Still appointments scheduled by text or phone. Still renting a small space in Goca's Hair Salon. Still a great conversationalist. Never a dull moment. Ultimately a hardworking mom doing what she loves. The supposed outdated salon space and lack of a jet water spa chair truly does not affect what you pay for- best quality no chips manis and pedis (even regular ones) that last long and look great. That's what you want in the end and it's guaranteed going here. Trust me! I've been to the high end nail salons, even others rated 5 stars not so high end, only for the end result to make me regret ever going anywhere else. See my other reviews. None compare to the longest lasting no chips I've received here. Today is my last visit as I relocate to another state. I doubt I will find another like the No Chip Queen. I've been going here since 2011! I will miss her greatly but best believe when I come back to see family, I will make sure to make my appointment here. PS- Summer is very busy so book ahead of time. Look past that the space is not so high end for now. (Goca will be doing a remodel soon if that really matters to you.) Regardless, you will receive a very personable service and a quality mani and pedi. Affordable. read more

I find that businesses who insist on telling you why they're better than everyone else do so because they're not so sure you can figure it out yourself from the product and service. No Chip Queen is the perfect example of that. Expect to hear about how this place is special, and how other nails salons are unsanitary and give horrible service. Expect to hear this continuously for your entire manicure and pedicure. The manicure and pedicure I got was pretty great, and lasted through an entire vacation. And I honestly enjoy a little bit of snobbishness when the business really is great, but there were way too many problems with my experience to give it five stars in good conscience. 1. My appointment started half an hour late. No apology was given - in fact, she seemed annoyed that I came into the salon at the time of my appointment. She brushed me aside and told me to pick out colors, and I waited while she finished up with her last customer. She had even confirmed that morning and told me that my appointment would be lost if *I* showed up late. I hate when businesses value their own time more than the customers. 2. She took phone calls during services. Not emergency phone calls that were addressed quickly, but actual chit chat phonecalls she took her time with. She did this even though my appointment started late, and I said I was getting my service for a vacation and that my flight left later in the day. She took her time with everything. 3. The spa was freezing. Felicia wore a heavy sweater, a jacket, and snow boots, but I of course had bare feet for my pedicure and while my polish dried. I was uncomfortable for the entire time I was there, and my feet were freezing. I'd imagine that if you're cold enough to wear boots and a jacket indoors, you might have the sensitivity to maybe put the heat up for people who have to have their feet bare for their service. But there was nothing spa-like or comfortable about this experience. As my service ended, I thought "screw it," and rushed to put on my socks and boots, and she tried to urge me to walk out in my flip flops and just turn on the heat in the car. In December. While it was snowing. 4. Too much nail product got under my nails. It's an uncomfortable feeling to have sticky product under your nails, and when I go home i had to scrape it off myself with the metal attachment on my nail clippers. Again, it was a great no chip manicure, and it lasted, and Felicia was very thorough, so I'm giving the standard three star, above average A-OK rating. But my experience here was not worth the price or the hype. And mostly I just very much hate to feel like my time isn't valued. read more

I found this gem of a spot one day when I was super desparate in need of a pedi before going on vacay. I texted Felicia and she kindly responded that she could fit me in where a cancellation was. My no chip was pretty, she even incorporated some type of glitter as an accent nail. I really like the price of the services here but what is always most important to me is the type of service I receive. Felicia is so nice and genuine, which is super important in a business where you have to work with many people. When she is working with you, it's strictly your time and she works without stopping. I appreciate her flexibility. read more

Thank you Felicia for your wonderful customer service! Although I wasn't completely satisfied with my last service I really appreciate your willingness to correct the issue after reading my review. Bottom line, Felicia does fabulous no-chip manicures and unfortunately I caught her on a not-so-great day. I still highly recommend giving her a try. read more

Felicia is the No Chip Queen indeed! I texted the number on yelp the day before Christmas eve to see if she had any openings that evening and she was gracious enough to take me in. She told me a lot about the product she was using and why it was better than the leading competitors and boy was she right! I'm almost a week in to my manicure and it looks awesome, no fading or peeling! I look forward to my next no chip mani! read more

No Chip Queen - One week later! No chips, no peels, no lifting! I love this product. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My favorite no chip manicure ever without a doubt... from the nail color, quality of the products, and the hospitality Felicia provided. Such a sweet woman with lots of talent. She didn't hurt my nails, was very gentle, knowledgable, and really fun to talk to! Felicia is my favorite nail tech thus far, hands down! read more

I've been to nail shops ALL OVER the city, and each and every no chip I received had peeled off by the 3rd day! It was so frustrating until I found felicia at no chip queen...she truly is "NO CHIP QUEEN"....she is a perfectionist! Her manicures are so detailed and she pays attention to each and every nail! The no-chip formula used NEVER peeled until it was due for the next mani! I am so happy to have found her and will be a life long client of hers! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about the NO CHIP QUEEN - she is the best. I went here for my no chip manicure for my wedding and they still look perfect. I went to Jamaica so I was in the beach for ten days and they are still perfect. I can't believe what a great job she did. Some of the girls that went to my wedding had no chip manicures done at other salons within days they were chipping even the next day. I went on June 6 and today its the 20th and still perfect! I also got a pedicure and it was great, very sanitary and that is all that matters. She will be my new manicurist! read more

I am a relatively new client at No Chip Queen -- coming here for about 6 weeks - and finally found time to write a Yelp review. While Felicia operates No Chip Queen inside a salon, she is an independent business woman. As a sole practitioner, she provides excellent personalized service and gets to know all of her clients. She is funny, warm, interesting and most of all, highly skilled at her services! While I love the idea of French manicures, at my former salon, the manicurists would use a fake bright white tip color that looked like Liquid Paper. In a day or so, the white would chip off. I would try to ask to use a more natural tip color but most of the workers in that high volume salon did not speak English, making communication very difficult. I gave up and would get a solid color. That's not the end of the world but a little frustrating. The last straw at my former salon was when both my daughter and I got nail infections and a fungus a couple of days after our pedis. We were on a cruise and had to get antibiotics to slow the painful swelling. Now I found Felicia, and her sanitation practices are impeccable. My no chip mani lasts two week or so before I have it redone due to nail growth. For now, she is a one person operation but I could see her easily growing the business and opening a swanky new salon in the neighborhood. Give No Chip Queen a try and shop local! read more

A bit shout out to Felicia for what was easily the best no-chip ever! 4 weeks after her having done my nails with no-chip, the polish was still intact; she even has pictures of it on facebook if you need proof. Except for the growth of the nails, no one could tell that I needed a fresh application of polish. And 4 weeks is a loooooong time in the nail world. Add to that the fact that I cook a lot and do quite a bit work around the house, so that says a lot about how 'sturdy' the application is. When I went back, I got a regular pedi as well and Felicia was just as good with it. It's so wonderful to see a woman run a business efficiently, with the intention of providing the best service. She so is the Queen of No Chip! Good going Felicia!!!! :) read more

I've come to fall in love with no chip manicures because of Felicia. I've had 4 there so far and have loved every one. She has a wide variety of colors and has been extremely helpful and nice. None of mine have chipped, as I've heard some other no-chips have. She takes her time and gets to know you, which makes coming back even more enjoyable. Her affordable pricing, attention to detail, and hygiene-friendly practices have made No Chip Queen my number 1 choice. read more

Felicia is the best :). She makes you feel so at ease the best manicure and pedicure. My swoop coupon was expiring and she said since she was so busy but she would still honor it after 4 days. Love this place and will definetly be recommending this place to my friends read more

I am soooo glad i found Felicia - amazing mani/pedi right in my 'hood! Thank you youswoop! My 1st visit was using the deal - I upgraded to the no-chip mani and regular pedi, and I'm sure glad i did! I've had at least 10 no-chips so far at different salons (with and without a deal) but NEVER have I seen the no-chip color selection like Felicia's! WOW, there must've been a 100 of colors, i felt like i was at the Home Depot paint department. And guess what - she always has new colors! Back to my appt - pedi was perfect - the tub liner, nail files and all other tools are disposable, no more funky things swimming with your pretty toes! Oh, make sure you turn that massage chair on - it did great things to my sore body. Mani was just as fabulous. Total appointment time as about 2 hours so please plan accordingly. My nails looked great for 2 weeks, and if it wasnt for a previously scheduled appointment, I'm sure I could've worn my no-chip for 3 weeks. My second visit was for a no-chip mani, I got the beautiful and new yellow. The appointment was just as fab and fun as the 1st one. I will definitely be back read more

No Chip Queen - brand new yellow no chip! :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been going to Felicia ever since March and I am still very satisfied with her service. I feel as though people do not understand that she is the only one running this business and is the only nail technician. Her work says it all and I have never had an issue. I recommend all my friends to go see her because the products she uses (Biosculpture) that all those other salons wont purchase due to the cost. But its well worth it because my nails are healthy and strong and my no chip last for more than 2 weeks. read more

My no chips are flawless. I find Felicia fun, interesting, kind, warm hearted and genuinely concerned about her customers. To boot she is meticulous with her no chips from beginning to end. I've never been one for consistent manicures but No Chip has won me over. Run, don't walk, to No Chip! read more

The best non chip mani in Chicago. I have tried many other places and they all start lifting after a week. Felicia's mani's last almost 3 weeks and still look fabulous. So glad to of found her. read more

I wish I could write a glowing review; however, her lack of professionalism is why I'm giving her a 1 out of 5. I went to her every 2 weeks for about 2 months. I stopped going to her because of her tardiness and finally her failure to come to the salon for our scheduled appointment. When I was at the salon and sent her a text reminding her of our appointment, she said she forgot. She then proceeded to say that she's stressed out shopping for her vacation, and she doesn't need any more stress aka my reminding her of our scheduled appointment. She also kept saying she's human and makes mistakes. I totally understand that, but when she only takes appointments through text, I can see how it would be hard to keep track of all her appointments. Maybe she should invest in an online booking system or hire a receptionist. She would always check her phone or smoke a cigarette when my nail polish was soaking off or curing. Rude and classless. - The salon looks like it's from the 80's and is dirty. The bathroom is disgusting, and I refused to use it. - She charged me more than the pricing on her website, stating that she needs to update it, but she never did. - Files nail polish off so much so that it filed away parts of my nails, making them brittle and crack. - I would leave with bleeding nicks and cuts because of her aggressive filing. - Her pedicure chair is the most uncomfortable chair I've ever sat in. I understand the importance of having a disposable foot bath, but you can invest in a comfortable chair for your clients. - Does not take credit card or check. Only cash. Sketchy. - Takes twice as long to complete services and does not give a massage in fear that it will damage the nail polish. - Runs late with appointments, showing a lack of respect for the client's time. If you are looking for good service, honest pricing, a professional nail tech, and a chic, clean ambiance, I recommend you go somewhere else. I found a great new salon, and I will never return to this place again. read more

She is great. She takes her time to make it perfect, doesn't rush you, and explains everything along the way. Lots of color selection.

WOW!!! Felicia is by far "THE BEST" Talk about a Hidden Gem. I am not one for writing reviews but in this case I just wanted people to know what a kind and honest person she is. Just by looking at her web site you can tell that she has the best interests of her clients in mind. It is sad to say that often because of my physical disabilities I have had salons try to sell me services I did not need, this was not the case today. Felicia looked at my pedi and said it was still in great shape and I could wait. I thank her for her honesty it is wonderful to find someone with such integrity. My manicure looks perfect and I have already booked for a no chip mani/pedi because I know not only will they look great but I will be given the same great service she gives all her clients. Thank you. read more

Coming from someone who couldn't keep a manicure longer than a couple of days because my nails would break or get damaged, no chip manicures have become an absolute must for me. I was skeptical at first but now I'm due back for my 5th visit. Not only does No Chip Queen use a HEALTHY gel that doesn't weaken your nails, they end up strong and the results last for 2 weeks, sometimes longer! Best of all, you can't smudge your new nails because they're already dry when you leave. Great quality service overall, great color selection and great price! You get MORE than what you pay for and trust me, you'll want to return. read more

I moved to Jefferson Park in April 2014 in desperate need of a good manicurist. I found Felicia on Yelp and was definitely not disappointed. She lives up to her 5 star rating. I have had no chip manicures in the city and vowed to never do it again. They chipped and did not allow my nails to grow. Felicia assured me that the products she used were the best and they are! I took a 3 1/2 wk trip to Italy and all I saw was nail growth, no chipping. Not only are you getting an amazing nail technician but you are also making a friend. I recommend Felicia hands down!!! Don't be intimidated by the cash only/appt. by text or phone. She is worth it! read more

If you are not a perfectionist, I think you will be fine with the technician's work. If you are like me, and scrutinize any service that you have paid for, you may have a problem accepting the final product. Please note: the technician seems like a nice person. Her work, however, was inconsistent in my experience. I saw her twice; both appointments were for a no-chip manicure and no-chip pedicure. The first time I visited, I was not sure when the salon was last cleaned, because there was a large dead bug and cobwebs in the pedicure room. However, the service was very good. The pedicure included a relaxing massage, and my nails looked very pretty. The manicure left my nails looking professionally done also. I was disappointed that I did not receive any type of hand massage or even lotion. Also, the appointment was close to 3 hours! I was surprised because I receive manicures and pedicures often, so I know there isn't a ton of work to be done on my hands and feet. Overall, the manicure did not wear well. My first nail started lifting on day 6, and by day ten I had chips on two other nails. (I don't work in water i.e. wash dishes, etc). My second appointment for the same two services was very disappointing. The salon bathroom looked like it had not been cleaned for some time. The pedicure service was shorter, and included a lotion application with what felt like a 30 second massage per foot. The application of the no-chip gel for my manicure was uneven, lumpy, and too thick. It looked very unprofessional, and after 7 days of wearing it and feeling self-conscious, I went to another salon to have it removed. I feel like I wasted my money, and more importantly, close to 3 hours of my time on my second visit. Based on this, I will not return for future services. read more
