    The set I had done

    An amazing place to be, great energy, wonderful conversation and a beautiful shop. If you go anywhere you should go here.

    Nova nail bar.

    Yes it took 3 1/2 hours for Gel X but it Angela perfected my nails to the absolute T. I will be going here from here on out for my Gel X to grow out my natural nails because this product is absolutely amazing for your nail health! And I would say the vibe is of course for more girly girls, really positive girl vibes!

    Loved my experience! New gel set for $35 plus tip. My gel nails had been cracking and breaking because of many previous experiences of getting them drilled when removed. I was pleasantly surprised to know that they removed my gel nails in a less aggressive way with acetone! I didn't feel that typical burning sensation when drilled. I also like that they asked me to wash my hands at the beginning (something that other nail salons don't, unfortunately) and they appear to have sanitized their main metal tools using an autoclave. The only suggestion for improvement I have to offer is to keep the general work areas cleaner/tidier. My tech was Molly and I loved her! Will be coming back.

    I live in New Orleans so I don't normally get my nails done in Rockford however I needed to get a fill and my toes were in desperate need of being done so I choose this one... I'm not mad at all they reshaped my nails to coffin because I wanted to go back to that shape. They were a tad pricey but no worse then I'm used to.

    Pros: - Very clean - COVID protocols (hand washing when you enter, face masks, wipe down area after each client, distance between other clients, shielding) - Great color selection - Very cute aesthetic and welcoming - Nail techs are polite & attention to detail - Equipment/work areas were clean and tidy Cons: - Not really a con, but they only book by appointment. Common practice due to the pandemic. They did take me right away when I called. Just make sure to call ahead. - Their card swiper was down. Long story short, bring cash. Lol saves the hassle of trying to figure out paying with apps. Suggestions: - Play something on the TV. Music was playing, but I like to have something to watch during my manicure. It could've been anything. It's just a nice distraction. Overall, I had a good experience!

    Tom Nook nails!!!!

    The ladies here were so sweet and made me feel super comfortable, the place looked absolutely gorgeous, and they completely KILLED IT with my nails!! I asked for animal crossing themed design and it's so much better than I ever dreamed!! I don't even get my nails done -it was just a birthday gift- but now I NEED TO come back!!

    I would highly recommend this place! Very clean, modern atmosphere. They have all the new "up to date" trending styles! The staff was also friendly and inviting. I got a simple no chip manicure and pedicure, but will definitely be back to get one of their designs next time!

    No chip manicure

    This was my first time here! I usually have bad anxiety going to new places, but the staff here are welcoming and made me feel comfortable! Julie was my nail tech and she was AMAZING! The place it's self is very fancy! I made a appointment and they took me right away! No waiting! Hands down my favorite nail place!

    Finding a nail shop that's open on a Monday in Rockford can be a challenge. Luckily, I found this gem of a place on Yelp! I love when a business allows you to book services online and responds to Yelp or Facebook messages. Let's be honest no one really likes having to call to make appointments. Nova Nail Bar responded to my message for 2 no-chips and pedicures within 30 minutes. Less than 10 minutes my mom and I were booked for our appointments. Boom! The nail salon is in a strip mall that I've passed a billion times. Honestly, never even noticed it was right there. The salon is clean, brightly lit and modern. I do wish the price menu was a bit easier to read. We were greeted and our tubs were already prepared. The nail polish selection is pretty solid. Seriously, their no chip color selection is amazing! I changed my mind 15 times since there were so many colors and finishes before my pedicure was even done. The nail technician, Mout, did a great job! She was professional and detailed. One thing I did like is that this salon is not as chatty as other nail places I've been to in the area. When I get my nails done I like to zone out and relax. Yes, they will chat if you want, but you're not required to. The last nail salon I went to in Rockford felt like it was an interrogation. The no chip from Mout looks phenomenal! She did a great job shaping and painting my nails. Bless her heart for putting up me and my I can't figure out what color to choose!! I ended up doing metallic a no chip that used a magnetic for the design. See pic below. My mom and I both really enjoyed coming here. The service and quality are spot on. I cannot wait to come back!

    See all

    This is my favorite nail place in Rockford. They are very clean- they line the pedicure tubs with…read moreplastic, use autoclaved instruments, and often wear gloves. I have diabetes and have gotten infections from other locations in Rockford- never from here. The interior is cute. They respond promptly to Facebook messages. Depending on who you get, I've had my gel nails last anywhere from 2-4 weeks without chipping at all. Massages for manicures and pedicures vary based on who is performing them and how busy they are. I would definitely recommend making an appointment. Edit: this place is really hit or miss depending on who you get. Some of the employees do not listen or understand what you may be asking for. If the owner is there she will usually set things straight, but otherwise it's a bit difficult. My last appointment took 2 hours for a pedicure and no-chip, but it was because I walked in during a super busy time. Edit 2: since I had a different person this time, the manicure didn't last as long. I got a chip after 1 week. However, the pedicure is holding up better. Trade offs I guess! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Ahhh.. I've been going here for years! Before every vacation and never had a problem. I would get…read moreno chip pedi, and a regular manicure... this time. 12/07/2024 I went to get a regular manicure.. he started to do gel (I don't like gel) once I noticed, I declined and stated just regular. Well he then just rushed the polish on my nails and sent me away. Later that day the polish started cracking on my nails... so now I have cracked clear polish.. I don't understand how hard it is to get a nice manicure.. especially charging 32$ for something so simple. Part of me wants to go back and get it fixed.. but I rather not. I'll find a new nail place.
