I came here for a pedicure because I needed one last minute and it was close to my hotel. I wasn't sure how busy it would be, so I arrived shortly after they opened. They had availability right away. The nail tech (Cat) was fantastic. She soaked my feet in the foot bath, scraped away the dead skin on my feet, got rid of the old polish, and put on new polish. And I was able to relax while she did her thing. Note: If you want to tip, make sure you have cash or Venmo. read more

I called the same day to see if they had any availability, and they were able to fit me in, which I really appreciated. The salon is located inside a building with several other restaurants and businesses on the same floor, so it took me a minute to find it. I got a regular manicure and a pedicure, and the service was fairly quick. I liked that the staff took their time shaping my nails and applying the polish instead of rushing through it. The only thing I wish had been better was the massage. It felt a little short and could have used a bit more pressure. Unfortunately, about three days after my appointment, I noticed the polish had already started chipping at the tips of my nails, which was disappointing. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but I expected the manicure to last longer. read more

I do not want to let the secret out, but I have to share that the quality of the dip manicure is outstanding. It's a quiet, calm, comfortable space tucked away from the bustling loop outside. The technicians are welcoming and accommodating and talented professionals. read more

1st visit. Called to schedule an appt- was able to get my preferred date and time a week in advance for a dip nail removal and reapply. First thing, I was told to wash my hands- thank you for being clean!! It gives me peace of mind knowing that's a requirement before I stick my nails in a powder many likely have also done. The nail salon also is very tidy and neat. Sat at the station, it was well lit. I think that's important, so the technicians don't have eye strain. Picked out a color- was a little brighter than I anticipated, but all good! I love it My technician was very experienced and took great care on the shape. I felt like she considered a 360 view of each nail. I was worried that the dip polish would be put on too thick and look too bulky- not the case! Sometimes wishes come true, I was hoping to find a place that I could count on for excellent work and beautiful nails! I'm so impressed! I'm happy to say I found my nail spot!! read more

Prestige Nails & Spa - Meticulous dip nail manicure - Waxing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped in last minute to refresh my dip manicure. My nails look great and good service!

DO NOT GET WAXED HERE. The staff was really kind and I appreciate that I was able to walk in for an underarm wax, but I realized toward the end of the session that the esthetician was DOUBLE DIPPING the applicator into the wax. This is a serious health/hygiene issue. I won't come back. The rest of the shop looked clean and there's probably no issue with getting your nails done, but I would absolutely not get any waxing services. read more

What a phenomenal nail salon! I've already booked my return appointment. I just moved to town and hadn't done my nails in months. I was very nervous about finding a new place and couldn't be more pleased. These are tipped and dipped. read more

Amazing service! I got a pretty coral dip powder color on natural nails. First time getting dip without the extensions, but my nail lady encouraged this and I'm glad I went with her advice! The staff here is wonderful - all so sweet and don't rush you in the process of selecting exactly what you want. They made sure my experience was very smooth and placed a lot of care into doing my nails. The staff are all very experienced and have worked here, so they're very skilled and dependable. The interior of the place is very beautiful and will make you feel just at home. The place also had a wide selection of colors here, even more than I've seen at other nail places. One thing to note is the store is only open weekdays, and the reason for this is because their majority of customers live further away from the inner city and mostly come here on the days they're at work in the office (and many more office buildings are nearer). From my experience, it's pretty easy to book an appointment even last-minute, so I would definitely recommend coming here for all your nail needs! read more

I've been looking for a nail place in the loop and Prestige nailed it. They're super fast, efficient but most importantly they do a beautiful job. I've been to Prestige several times for regular, no-chip as well as pedicures (seeing different nail techs) and I have to say they are definitely consistent. One of the managers is Pham and she is definitely the go-to. Pham is an expert and has been doing nails forever so her technique is impressive. I also really like that she reads up on the latest and greatest in nails. She freehanded my no-chip mani and it's flawless. I'm super happy with my nails. Prestige has a plethora of colors, finishes and even does nail dips. They do a great job of removal too. Other salons scratched my nail beds but Prestige has always kept them smooth. Notes: make an appointment I've seen them turn people away because they get booked up fast! -cash tips only -no Amex accepted read more

Great job, nice environment. Would go back. They know how to shape nails nicely. Wide selection of colors.

I got a regular manicure here and it was fine but it chipped literally the same day. I could also peel off the polish working 3 days. I think they must use either really old or watered down bottles. The space was fine and clean. Service otherwise was fine but nothing special. Massage lasted all of 5 seconds. I also left my water bottle and they didn't try to call me or give it back which was super disappointing. Overall would not be back. read more

Please read to it's entirety! First of all, let me start by saying that Pham does an excellent job on dip, and the reason for this review is not based on quality of service. My nails always look amazing and she does a great job, and if it was not for my recent experience, I would have continued coming to her every 2 weeks. My PROBLEM lies with payment and the inconsistency of prices. Let me state that coming from the service industry I am HUGE on customer service and have always provided Pham with a 20 percent tip. Even on my last service. Firstly, I started off paying credit card and using Venmo for the tip. Then it turned into having the full service plus tip all on Venmo, which is strange. Also, my dip nails started at 50 dollars when I had first come in, as listed on the website. Unfortunately every time has been a different fee. Sometimes 55, 60 and my most recent 65. But I wasn't told about the higher price until the end of the service. I was told that it was 65 this time because I had tips, my nails were long and it took her a very long time to do. 1. I had 3 tips put on to shorter nails 2. My nails have been the same length for the past 2 months, please see picture 3. And yes my nails took time, but this should not factor into the price. When I asked her to be upfront about the charges instead of surprising me with the increasing fees time after time, she told me that maybe I should find another nail salon to go to. I don't think my request was out of line, and I think this is a terrible way to treat a customer that consistently comes in every 2 weeks, pays for the service (although priced inconsistently) and tips 20 percent every time no matter the cost. The quality of service is great here, but I will not be back due to the rudeness of telling me that I should go somewhere else when all I asked was for her to be upfront about pricing. I have many Venmo receipts of the inconsistency and charges. I have never said anything because I was happy with my nails, but I have a feeling if this is happening to me, there are probably others being mischarged or shadily charged the full price on Venmo. Just a warning for others wanting the dip service, please ask ahead how much it will actually cost. Shame on me for not speaking up until now. Pretty sad that I will be on the look for a more consistent nail salon with much better customer service. read more

I had a really good experience here-especially considering that i was a "walk-in." Great pedicure by Amena, super friendly and helpful. Had a great conversation with her. Terrific manicure by Pham, who also provided terrific service. The salon is neat, relatively quiet, and clean. I really enjoyed the music that was playing-the television is tuned to the news, but the sound is muted. I paid $33 for the pedicure and $55 for the dip manicure. Overall, very satisfied. read more

One or the best dip manicures I've ever received; and i am super picky! I was in town for the day and I needed them redone immediately. I called, they answered right away and took me as soon as I walked in. They were fast, clean and listened to the requests I had about how I liked my nails. The woman who serviced me was very thorough and they had a large variety of colors. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area who needs nail service. EXCELLENT! read more

Absolutely love this place. They have taken such good care of me both times I have been here. Ivan Tran is a master at the dip polish and rhinestones. I got my nails done on Friday and the gemstones have stayed perfectly in place with no issues. This last time I came in, I had just gotten a dip done on my nails a week prior (at a salon in Denver) and they were terrible. One of my nails had broken off completely, the shape of the nails looked like crooked almonds and there was still bright pink polish on the sides of my cuticles. Ivan got me right in put a tip on my broken nail and took his time reshaping my nails into a beautiful almond shape. He even fixed my nail when I bumped it while drying. If you are looking for a place that does quality dip polish, I highly recommend prestige nail salon. They do take walk-ins, but they fill up quickly so I also recommend making an appointment. (Also the photos I posted below were taken 4 days after being done so you can see how well they last) read more

Growing up with parents and family members who owns nail salons my expectations of another nail salon is higher than usual. I'm extremely picky about how close the polish is painted to my cuticles, how thick the nail polish is applied, how long does my no-chip last, etc. Yep, I'm a nail snob, but can you blame me? I've gone to many nail salons and have yet to return because they're sub par despite the high reviews. However, Prestige Nails & Spa is a winner in my book. I've FINALLY found my go to nail technician, Pham (I was really hesitating if I should tell you guys her name because she might get even busier). Pham is usually the one greeting guests and picking up the phone. She's like a jack of all trades there.My go to for no chip ninja. She does a wonderful job. The polish is always applied evenly and she remembers personal things about me and makes small conversation that isn't overbearing. All my no-chips have last more than two weeks with her and if my nail buds didn't grow so fast I would keep the polish on forever! The salon is clean and simple with spa pedicure chairs and a waxing room in addition to the manicure stations. Their selection of polish is huge which always puts me in a bind because I can never make up my mind. Overall, I definitely recommend Prestige. P.s. they're closed on the weekends! read more

Prestige is my favorite nail salon in Chicago! I've been coming for several years, and felt it was finally time to give them the well needed recognition on Yelp. The staff is incredibly kind, and they always do an amazing job and are incredibly meticulous. I also appreciate that the salon is cute and very clean as well. They go out of your way to meet your wishes (even concocting a mixed color to get the perfect shade for my wedding nails)! Pro tip: they are closed on the weekend. And during the week (especially lunch time or after work) it is best to call ahead and make an appointment. read more

This place is nice and the staff is friendly. I decided to try them out after reading the Yelp reviews since they were close to my office. I booked a lunchtime appointment through Yelp, the morning of. It took about 15 mins from my appointment time before I was seated. They were pretty busy. Eric did my nails. I got a French manicure done with the dipping powder. (I love the dipping powder). It was $55. Overall, he did a good job and he was pretty quick. There was one nail where the smile line was crooked and I had to ask him to fix it. He attempted to fix it twice, but it still looks weird. I had to get back to work so I let it go. Overall, I had a positive experience and I will be back again! read more

Dropped in for a full set and pedi. I'm so happy with the results! Everyone was friendly and they really took their time to make sure everything was done right. I often have to "fix" my nails after going to other salons, but both my fingernails and toenails are perfect! The space was great too. Very clean and welcoming. read more

worst nails off my life. Asked for square and got round. I look like a kindergartner who just got her nails done. $80 for a manicure ? you've got to be kidding !!! read more

I have visited this location and had a good experience, which is why today's visit was so disappointing. I came in for a dip manicure. Once my dip was removed the tech went straight to putting new dip on. No attention was paid to my cuticles, which I have never had happen while receiving a manicure. I requested a dark color dip which led to it getting all over my hands/fingers which the tech proceeded to attempt to get off by using the nail file directly on my skin.. Despite this I still walked out with lots of residue all over my fingers. Finally, the shape and finish are not what I would expect from a well-done dip. The finish is not completely smooth and shiny - they almost look somewhat bubbly/rippled on certain nails. I would expect much better results and a much better experience when paying $52... read more

I was recommended by a colleague to try Prestige Nails and Spa. Let me tell you, I'm sad that I had not come across sooner because I have no complaints whatsoever. Great colors, punctual with my appointment, clean, relaxing environment with great staff. I was also in and out in 45 minutes for a fill and gel polish! I will now go there for all my manis and pedis. Ask for Eric, he's amazing! read more

Very disappointed with my no chip manicure at this place. Maybe I just had a bad nail tech? The only reason it's getting two stars is because the service was fast and friendly. However, the manicure itself was poorly done. My index nail was chipping on just day 2 and it simply should have been a lot neater. With all the nearby competition, I will not be back. read more

For a nail salon in the central business district downtown, very reasonable prices and they can usually fit you into the schedule.

Cat is AMAZING!! For starters, I didn't have an appointment but she was so welcoming and was able to fit me in. I got a dip mani w/ tips and I couldn't be happier. It was my first time coming to Prestige and I will definitely be coming back. They are so professional and the establishment is very clean. Thank you so much! read more

So nice! Will go again! I just got gel on my natural nail and cow print and my nail tech was so good!

This is my third time coming into this nail salon so I thought it was time for me to give a review. I usually have a hard time finding the perfect nail place for me but I never had luck until now. I work like 4 blocks away from this place and go right before 4:30 PM, it never gets packed beforehand. They have really great service and friendly staff! I usually get no chips and it lasts two whole weeks like you're supposed to. I also got my first Brazilian wax done there and there was this Latina lady and she made me Feel comfortable and talked me through my whole wax just so I can get distracted and not feel so much pain. She was VERY comforting and very nice! She gave me excellent service. Catch me here from now on! read more

By far the best nail salon in Chicago. I have tried a ton of places and there is just no competition. I try to go to Cici when I can, but if she is booked its no biggie because everyone there does an incredible job. Prices are reasonable too. Perfect place to go over lunch, get out of the office, and get your nails did :) read more

I got a dip manicure here, and it was nicely done but didn't last long. As in: no chipping, polish was applied evenly, it looked great, but after 1.5 week, the polish completely popped off of two nails. I hoped it would last longer for a $50 manicure. Maybe they didn't apply it right? I would try again with a gel manicure. read more

Review # 34 out of 365 I absolutely love this salon. It's extremely clean. I read a review before I came, it was true. I'm picky and this is the place to go. I got a pedicure and SNS nails. Both needed help. It had been a long time. The pedicure can be basic or upgraded. My manicurist was attentive and helped with callouses and sad toenails. I feet felt soft like a baby and my nails were polished and perfected that I didn't even need gel to get it to stay on. My SNS nails are incredible. Almond shaped and stayed on perfectly for 3 weeks! They have more color choices than I am use to so be ready for a tough decision. I now make a standing appointment and I don't have to wait. Just call. They are super helpful. read more

This place was a little hard to find at first, but then I realized they were located inside the building lobby. The staff was very friendly and accommodated me immediately, even though I was a walk-in. I had two nails chip that were powder, and I got them done at another salon. They helped me pick a color that looked similar enough and then took off the existing color and applied no-chip polish. The price was very reasonable to get my nails fixed, and the woman who did my service was kind. I will definitely go back to get a full manicure! read more

I phoned into this place to see if they take walk inns. At the time they were okay with it for they must not had been too busy. Upon walking into the nail shop, Kat was right there at the front desk very welcoming with a smile on her face. She was ready to assist me right away. She did my French pedi with great conversation and then my no chip Mani aka Gel. She was professional with letting me know more about the salon and this area of Chicago. My nails and toes came out perfect. She even mentioned you can bring in a cocktail or glass of wine from the bar across from them. BYOB she said to relax more next time. Side note: This place is NOT open on any Weekend. read more
