I have been going here for years! I get compliments all the time for my nails. They always accommodate my nail designs. Mimi does an amazing job. Everyone is super friendly and I can trust that they will do a great job. Highly recommend.
Tried this place for a regular mani and pedi and thought my technician Kim did a great job. I only go for these things about twice a year so I'm not a pro, but the salon itself - although busy - was a pretty chill environment. There were no TVs, which at first I was disappointed about, but after a while, the background music was very soothing and I felt myself relaxing more. I even got off my phone so I could be more present and enjoy the pampering. Everyone was nice. They prefer cash and give a 5% discount. They had a lot of colors to choose from, but it was difficult to understand which products cost extra. I also didn't see much in the way of designs, like nail art but maybe that is something you need to ask for. There was no upselling, which I appreciated. And it wasn't a rushed experience. Kim really went the extra mile making sure my callouses were removed from my feet with a scary cheese grater that tickled. And she fixed the parts I messed up because my nails weren't 100% dried. She also asked me if I liked the color once applying it the first time before she proceeded. Very professional job. I think the prices are pretty standard for nail services. They seem to keep really busy but like any salon making an appointment is best but they could probably accommodate walk-ins.
I am obsessed with my nails. I went in for a fill and was nervous because I moved and had to find a new place , the gentleman took his time for each nail and they are absolutely perfect. This will definitely be my new place and I'm so glad I found it!
Update: After speaking to the owners, they had me come back into the salon. I was set up with Quen. She did an awesome job and fixed up the mani and pedi. They look very clean with beautiful crisp edges. I booked with her for 2 weeks from now. I guess I got a rough first impression, but thankfully they truly care about the customers experiences and fixed that first impression. Previously: This was my first, and unfortunately will be my last time to this place. While the guy who did my nails was a nice guy, truly, and I loved they used that sort of "grater" tool to help with calluses and dead skin, my overall no-chip mani and normal pedicure was something left to be desired. I didn't notice all these flaws when I left, as you typically just want to get going and to top it, they were busy, but when I had a moment to really look over I saw all the flaws. I honestly do a better job with the polish on my own. I remember pointing out to him nail polish on my skin on my pinky which he fixed but I didn't see the toes up close until later. Also noted was a lack of brand options to choose from for polish. Thy really only have DND DC duo brand. I typically prefer OPI or Essie. Think I will have to keep driving to my old place. Nice people, clean location and decent colors to choose from, but not the greatest mani/pedi.
I recently fell out of favor with the nail salon I have been going to for the last 3 years due to inconsistent results, so after hitting what was my last straw, I decided to search for a new nail place. After a lot of researching, I stumbled across Nu Image. To make an appointment, I suggest calling. They are really responsive and I have often been able to get in on the same day (though I should caveat that I usually make appointments for mornings in the middle of the week). They have a lot, and I mean a lot of colors to choose from. This could be a really great thing or hard for folks like me who have decision paralysis lol. Their technicians are precise for both manicures and pedicures. I have been there 3 times now and I have gotten so many compliments on my nails. They have a solid customer in me!
Amazing! I was specifically looking for a place that can truly do "nail art" and they didn't disappoint. A fairly simple light pink to white gradient acrylic but rest assured I knew I was in good hands ;) definitely looking forward to returning to Nu Image Nails for a more bold nail art execution.
Sydney did such an incredible job on my nails. I came in with Bio Gel as a base and she easily filed and filled my nails with acrylic powder which was beautiful. I also asked for a lipgloss nail top and she put together the sweetest base and glitter combo. She was so nice and helpful, can't wait to come back next time I'm in Chicago.
The only place I go to! I was looking for a place with great reviews when I moved to the city last year. So I've been going here for over a year. I had a few people do my nails and liked it, but honestly now I only trust Kathy! The other people did a good job, but she does an exceptional job. Very detail oriented and my nails can last over three weeks and still look good.

Ask for Helen, she's good! I'd recommend booking an appointment because she works different hours therefore , she's not always available to take walk-ins. Both Helen and Sonny are really good! I won't let anyone else touch my nails. I struggled with finding a good shop so I'll keep coming here as long as they continue to do my nails this good! read more

I've been to this salon a couple times and I've always liked how my nails come out. This time I got no chip acrylic set. I always like simple nails, but I was looking to get some hello kitty design (since I like her a lot) and turns out they have hello kitty stickers! It was also my first time getting a pedicure from this salon. My nail tech was so nice and sweet I believe her name is Yuen. The service is really fast and they are great at accommodating you. read more

I saw all the reviews and I thought this place was going to be good, so I decided to give it a chance. I called ahead of time to make an appointment and when I got there I stood there for 5min, until finally someone told me to sign the notebook. (No greeting whatsoever) I got an older gentleman (black hair, glasses about late 40/50s) I showed him a picture of what I wanted and asked if he could do it and said yes then proceeded to ask me what colors. I told him pink/ white ombré on one hand and black/ pink ombré on the other hand (which I have gotten before in a different salon so it's not impossible) We sat down and he started doing my nails and I noticed he only brought out pink and white. So I showed him the picture again and he said no to black because it was a dark color and it wasn't going to look good with the pink. So I worked with him and chose light blue. He started working on my acrylics, didn't do my cuticles, and I thought maybe he was going to do it at the end.( He did not.) While he was working on my pink and white he did my whole hand and I saw the color and It wasn't anything like the picture so I told him that wasn't the color I had asked for. I showed him the picture again and he said that wasn't the picture I first showed him, it was. I even pointed out the black ombré that he said he wasn't able to do. But he kept on repeating that it wasn't the picture I had showed. After going back and forth, he then told me that they no longer carry the color I wanted. I let it go and I told him to just do white then. He hadn't started my left hand so he did that one white and then rudely said "what do you want me to do with this hand?" and I said I just want it white and he kept on repeating "well what do you want me to do" and I said just file it down, he said "that's gonna take a long time" he then sat there for a bit and finally started to file it down, did the white and I was done. My nails look nothing like I expected. I was trying to work with him and be patient but all I got was a really rude attitude. I will definitely not be going back. I'm pretty sure not everyone is rude and don't know how to do certain things but I was not happy. read more

This place is great. They can do so many creative things and I've never had trouble getting in when I need to. I've gotten "cat eye"-effect nails, marble nails, and even matte. Before going here, I didn't even realize any of that was possible. One of the older ladies does hold fingers a bit too tightly and I've let out an audible "ow" a couple of times, but honestly my grandma has a tight grip too so I think it's just something that older ladies develop to show they're still badass? :p Who knows. Either way, it's always clean, efficient, and dependable. read more

This place is probably a hidden gem. Or at least it was for me. It's literally at the end of my alley. The space is very nice and clean. The pedi chairs are gorgeous and new. Kim did my set and was so sweet and incredibly efficient. She finished the whole thing with a quick hand/arm massage that felt SO wonderful. I've honestly never had a nail salon experience this great. Highly recommend this spot. read more

I've been going here a few years now. I still really love it! I still enjoy a dip manicure and now I do the no chip pedicure. The dip manicure lasts about 4 weeks and my no chip pedicure is still going strong. Highly recommend making a reservation as this salon is usually busy! read more

The first time I got my nails done here I was so happy with the results. The second time I've come here an older man did my nails and he was clearly sick. He was trying hard not to cough and at one point pulled his mask down to reveal a red nose which then he wiped with his hand and went back to working on my nails. I wasn't happy with the out come of my nails and still payed 45$ for risking my health and bulgy nails read more

My sister and I came here for the first time and had an amazing experience. We came in with a picture of a Disney nail design we wanted and it came out beautiful considering it was their first time. They definitely nailed it! I was impressed! And it was my sister's first no chip. They are clean, friendly, and are very attentive to the detail of their work. I would highly recommend Tee who I saw or Mimi who my sister saw. You definitely won't be disappointed. We'll be back! read more

This is my first review ever written but this place is so awesome that I just had to share it! If you're looking for a great quality mani and/or pedi, look no further because this salon is the best there is! I get their no-chip mani with gel since my real nails are extremely thin and weak. Every mani lasts at least 3 weeks! It could last even longer but I like to change the color up often. For the great quality you receive, you would expect to pay a lot but that's also the best part... Their prices are the best around town! I've been a customer at this exact location for years, but with the new owners, Sonny and Sydney, this place has improved tenfold. Come see for yourself! read more

Kim really took her time with my nails, she was so slow and clean. I usually do one coat of funny bunny and one coat of bubble bath. But this time it was 2 coats of funny bunny (that's why it's so white) and one coat of bubble bath. But I still love it! She did two coats on the bottom cause she wanted it to be smooth. This is the first time my no chip looked this good! read more

This place is amazing! I was a first timer last week and I will now be a regular. The pedicure was outstanding and the gel nails turned out beautiful. They made sure I was happy with the shape/length and not in pain through the whole thing. The place is clean and the staff is very friendly. Don't forget to bring cash for tip!! read more

That's a hidden gem I've never known about! I randomly went there like month ago, I was looking for a place to get my nails done on Sunday afternoon, and there is not a lot of places around open on Sunday So, I've got a coffee shaped nude acrylic nails with no chip on top and honestly, I would never expect acrylic nails to last me for almost a month!!! Nothing ever lasts more than a week cuz of my work (I'm a personal trainer and also I bartend) Also I got just a regular pedicure with classy red polish, and that look still good Oo idk it's a miracle Any ways, I came back yesterday to get a new full-set and the girl was so generous to offer me not to spend an extra money and she said she can fix whatever is a lil messy and do just a fill-in Also she offered me a new chrome finishing that just came in, so I got that this time Absolutely love the owner (and she is the one who gets my nails done), really sweet, generous and passionate girl! I think I've found my regular spot, and I definitely would tell you to give it a chance and you won't be disappointed, promise! And also they have a private parking which is awesome! read more

I came here after a thorough yelp search. Sydney lived up to the yelp expectations. I had so many questions about acrylic/gel and she was so patient and explained everything. I loved that she would constantly check her work with great detail. This is a full set acrylic powder ombré in nude I believe. It's a lot of work and she never huffed or puffed. Will be coming back. read more
