Mimi does a great no chip mani/pedi that lasts for over 3 weeks!! Salon is clean and parking on Central or in the back lot!

Best dip I have ever had!! Such good staff and have had two dips so far and so long lasting!!

I was going here a few years back and remember it being just ok. Since it is close to my house, I decided to give it another chance. Lucy was the one that did my nails, and there was a language barrier. I told her I wanted to remove my dip and switch to no-chip. She repeatedly told me I needed dip because the no chip wouldn't last me a week, and dip was the only thing that would last a week. I explained that the dip was too thick and my nails hurt as it grew out because my nails have a curve. After only showing me dip colors, I kept trying to tell her I wanted no chip, but she wouldn't listen. I finally said ok. I pulled my hands back a few times because the heat hurt from her drilling too long in one place. She laughed at me and told me I was scared. I explained it hurt, and I wasn't scared. She said it's okay; your nails are strong. I showed her a picture of what I wanted (attached). I picked a light pink (similar to the pic of what I wanted) and asked if she had a similar glitter polish or if she could add a coat of glitter on top. She picked a darker pink glitter polish. she applied 2 layers of color and then filed it down to be thinner before adding the design. It took her 15 minutes to draw the designs on my 2 ring finger, and then she said she was done. I didn't even push for the other fingers, as shown in the photo, since it took so long. The hearts were oddly shaped, and she then told me she doesn't do art but seemed very proud of herself. I left disappointed, thinking I just had a bad experience. But that night I picked up my keys, and a corner of the polish chipped. Then I looked closer; the sides of my nails were unfinished, and I could bend my nails under the polish. This is the first time I've experienced this. I filed the sides of the polish and my nails to smooth it out. I've been trying to make this manicure last to prevent damaging my nails more with removal. Since the polish is continually chipping, I've had to keep filing my nails down shorter and shorter. I wish I took better pictures of the problems. 1 week later, I couldn't wait anymore as the chipping looks horrible, and I couldn't file any shorter. read more

Professional Nail Spa - What I asked for not what I received - Nail Salons Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

Great experience at Professional! I got a full set of acrylics with gel on top. My nails looks beautiful. Exactly what I needed! Update: 24 days later, I am a dog groomer so my hands are constantly in soap and water, I'm moving around crazy dogs, etc, and my nails have not lifted AT ALL. My acrylics have never lasted this long, let alone while grooming dogs. Very impressive. Highly recommend if you want long lasting nails! read more

Professional Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

Over priced, charged me $85 for a mani and pedicure, no chip. And I didn't even get a hot wax treatment. Do not recommend. The price book says 60, I addressed it and she said she needs to print new prices due to Covid. Do No recommend. She even said because I want expensive service. This is a basic service. read more

This was my first time at this salon. My experience with Lucy was wonderful! She gave me an awesome pedicure and great powder dip nails. I am so happy to have found them. They also gave me a xmas gift of lovely hand lotion. I highly recommend this place. Deb P. Highland Park read more

Professional Nail Spa - Helen does a great job. Never disappointed! -Ahliyah - Nail Salons Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

The nail salon is great, the people that do the nails are wonderful, this review is because the man that cuts hair in the back is terrible. I've been twice for pedicures and one time he had a client, he was loud, was swearing with the client, and is overall obnoxious. His client had a dog in there barking with her and was talking on speaker phone, which was inappropriate for a salon. Then another time in the empty salon, he chose to sit right next to my pedicure chair and chomped his gum, talked on his phone, and acted like an idiot while I was trying to enjoy my experience. I won't be going back because I don't want to have to deal with listening to him and his inappropriateness. If you can ignore annoyances, please do get your nails done there, the ladies are great and respectful. read more

I used to love this place! Not sure why i had such a disappointing experience. I called early to book an appointment (around 11am) for a full set. Showed up at the 1:30 to only be told if I could come back later (they forgot to write my name in). I said sure, no problem. I went back later that day, and got seated right away. The lady who did my nails (Lucy) seemed to be in some sort of rush. She filed my natural nails very quickly, and didn't even out the acrylic nails. I had asked for a coffin shaped, and she did a square. (Once I realized that she was shaping them squared, i let it be, since I can deal with that shape). The length was perfect. I had asked for a no chip polish, (I thought gel & no chip were the same thing). I wanted no chip because it dries faster and stays on longer. I did a white polish, but clearly two coats wasn't enough. The color is very uneven (you can tell on my pinky nail). I don't mind paying high prices for a good job, but this was definitely not worth $50. I've had them on for 5 days, and they look like I've had them on for at least a week. Don't think I'll be going back.. read more

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would, horrible experience. Came in for a fill just because I didn't have time to drive to my nail spa , so I made a quick appt to stop by here . Nails done by some lady named Lucy . Absolutely did an awful job . Polish left , too thin to the point it hit my nail . My nails look disgusting. After 1 hour my nails were still not dry and have markings all over them . Highly don't recommend this place . Need a good place to get your nails done , go to Shirley nails in wheeling . You will not be disappointed. Will never be going to this place again. -highland park resident read more

Walk-ins accepted. Kim, my nail tech is super nice and accommodating, but my style of nails is not really something anybody around these parts does. So frustrating! She did OK, except my nails are too wide & not as long as I wanted - they also don't have "my shape", so they look so different, but at least my nails are done & I'm not going to get stuck on the little things. Place is very clean & spacious and everyone there is nice. I might come back unless I find someone who "gets me and my nails". read more

My new favorite nail salon! Great nails, and even better service! Today was my second time going and Helen helped me. She is so sweet and gave me a bottle of lotion on my way out for the holidays. Will be a regular now! :) read more

Sorry to say this salon has had a change in personnel. Great customer service but the current techs are sub par. Bring back Timothy if you want me to come back. I went to MG Nails in Deerfield for a regular mani. All good so far. read more

When I went in in May for a mani/pedi the mentioned new ownership (within the previous month). The new owner gave me a business card and was super friendly. They didn't have exactly the polish color I wanted so they offered to open a new one. My nail technician (Domiana? I forget her name but it started with a D) was EXTREMELY friendly and knew what she was doing. She asked made great conversation which I liked, but I didn't feel obligated to talk if I would've preferred to just relax. Overall just a great experience. read more

I was referred to this place by one of my clients and was asked to request for Helen. Training as an esthetician, I have to have short nails . I've been looking for a place who will do real natural looking short acrylic nails with a no chip... I have to say...I am beyond impressed with Helen. She was fun to talk to and no one can ever tell these are not my nails! I will be back in two weeks! read more

It looks like my 3 year old niece did my nails. Never again. The woman rushed through the whole appointment.

My nails were done by Helen and looked horrible. The acrylic was THICK and dug into my nail beds and looked so unattractive they were noticed by everyone at a large party that evening. I called the next day to have them fixed and was told to come right in. Made the appointment and was treated horribly. The women including the manager said there was nothing wrong. They proceeded to talk about me and make fun of me with the other Asian customers. Even though I had an appointment, was told it would be fixed, I sat through this mistreatment for two hours waiting for Helen because I was told only she could fix it. When Helen appeared again, she was angry and told me I would never be allowed in the establishment ever again and if I came in she would tell people not to help me 10x. I asked her to please fix them and I would never be back. Well, two days later and a nail has broken off. I WOULD NEVER GO BACK OF THEY PAID ME TO HAVE MY NAILS DONE! Unprofessional and subpar quality you most definitely pay for. read more

I have been a customer of the Professional Nail Spa technicians for 12 years. I started with them at Evanston Nails and was thrilled when they opened a sister shop in Highland Park which is much closer for me. I come every three weeks for a no chip manicure and pedicure. It's a great service at a fair price. They can provide a nice, relaxing experience or if you are in a hurry, just tell them and they will complete your service quickly and beautifully. I highly recommend you give them a try! Angela ~ Deerfield, IL. read more

I've been a customer of Roland for over a few years now so whenever he moves to a new location I would always follow him. His nochips lasts well over 3 weeks for me and I never had a problem with it. Excellent with pedicures too he also takes his time. Gotta love him! read more

Professional Nail Spa is a wonderful salon. It is spacious, clean and professional. Helen proved to be talented and skilled with acrylic nails. read more

When I moved to the north shore, I could not find anybody who could do an acrylic set that would last. I went to several places all over the north shore and they would all chip or break in a week or less. I was so happy when I found this place! My nails would last at least 2-3 weeks and I am pretty rough on them. I can't remember the lady's name who would do my nails (sorry) but she is almost always there and usually the only one doing nails. She always did a great job on my acrylics! She gave me a few pedicures too and they were great! I miss this place now that I'm not living in the area anymore. read more

I went here a few months ago with my friend. I haven't been here for a while. They did a horrible job I mean horrible. They messed up my friends nails so badly she had to go to another place after. I said something and they tried fixing it but made it worse. They took $5 off when they shouldn't have charged her a dime. Her nails were bleeding and they cut her so many times. My nails didn't look horrible but not satisfied st all. So unprofessional and cheap. Never would go back here or recommend. read more

Fair job, but cuticle not trimmed, seemed inexperienced. Polish left on skin. Probably won't be back.

This is a hidden gem in Highland Park. Wonderful, attentive manicurists in a clean, relaxing environment. And the prices are consistently below market. They're also open late during the week and open Sundays in the Spring and Summer. I highly recommend this salon, and Tina in particular. read more

Had a wonderful pedicure from Timmy! They are so nice and attentive, will definitely come back again.

Mimi does a fantastic job with my nails. She is meticulous. Every step of the way she makes sure I am happy with the progress. Overall, I'm very happy with my no chip mani. I will be sure to be back! read more
