    No Chip Mani-Pedi

    I have been going to Rachel's nails every two weeks for the past 4-5 years. They consistently produce high quality, fast, and long lasting nails. They are also friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. Their salon is clean and owned by a very hardworking couple from Vietnam. I highly recommend them.

    Love my manicure! They stayed open later than normal to accommodate our manicures which was so nice and did a great job!

    Feet happy now

    We can all identify with people who love their job and not so much the 9 to 5 ers in the world but people who really love what they do 24-7. The folks at Rachel's nails DO NAILS... and very well I might add but the pedicure is where I really evaluate dedication to the "Nails" profession. I mean let's face it, you're dealing with peoples feet and taking pride in your work as a pedicurist is something you truly have to have a love for. This defines the whole crew at Rachel's nails. I am a middle-aged guy... and one of my friends "Grace" treated me to a pedicure for Father's Day. I said "sure!" From the time we walked in till the time we were finished, I felt like we were being well taken care of and who doesn't love that? A full pedicure is reasonably inexpensive (although this was a gift to me) and I noticed that there were lots of ways to make the experience even better so I opted for a few of those as well. The crew at Rachel's are all very talented at what they do in terms of designs on your nails or coloring and can offer a variety of helpful suggestions for the ignorant and indecisive like myself. A pedicure is not something I've done more than once or twice in my life... so perhaps the more regular and discerning customer may have different things to say. Even when familiar, I judge a business and their services by the vibe I get and the team at Rachel's nails are professionals - they love what they do. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and my feet and ankles felt amazing! Lastly, I've decided to make the pedicure more of a routine... maybe every couple months because taking care of myself is something that is always important to me and our feet are important tools - they should look good and feel good all the time! I highly recommend Rachel's nails for a manicure or pedicure anytime you feel like treating yourself to something special while in a relaxing and no- nonsense environment! We will be back for sure!

    I believe I reviewed this place but maybe didn't save or some thing. Anyways it's a great little find in Humboldt Park. The wait can be long for a walk in but they're usually accommodating. Longest I ever waited was maybe 15 minutes than one person started and the person, a male Who had done my nails and remembered me from before, finished. He's talented and is really good about following direction and getting approval along the way. Show him a picture and he can do wonders. Price is normal in a typical salon but the quality is good and lasts for multiple weeks. I've even had fills done and they make them like new.

    Been to this place several times. Always time for walk-ins. Staff is so friendly and they do a great job. This is my go to nail salon in wicker.

    The design I asked for

    Came here because the past time the design was awesome! But the guy who helped me had NO PATIENCE, I asked for a design and got something very different, it took him 20 mins to do the nails, threw my hands at the lamp continuously and scolded me the 2 times I reached to my phone to check something, told me he was busy and I am slow (WTF). I'll note my hands do shake a little but he was clearly holding my fingers and you can tell his effort was just none. I tried to be nice and ask for another time to get them fixed (clearly I have the intention of a second chance and I still paid 40 dllls of the 65 meant for this time) and she said "but you cannot be on your phone or move when we do them" like, I checked my phone twice less than a second and was scolded about it, and did not Even move.

    this place was fast and efficient unsure why they have bad reviews but I had a great experience here , today . Will be going back

    I can't delete my past review of 1 star, but I can say one year later I came back for a second chance (also for me because I was a bit bitchy!) and I am so so happy! I will keep on coming back as long as I put nails on haha and love that we were able to see past that experience! They're also amazing people:)

    Acrylic with shellac top. The shape is coffin. Ask for the tip to be small and thin. The ring finger is chrome.

    Omfg. This place is a rare gem. I'm a nail tech of 15 years. Dont mean to brag but not many can out do my work or creativity. Im rarely ever satisfied with other work because when you're amazing and can do amazing for others and other can't reciprocate it gets old and you get jaded by mediocre works.. well on my trip I broke a nail and found a diamond in this store. I freaking wanted to pack him in my bag and fly him back to Boston to work for the salon there. They have a younger guy working there first desk on the left. Hes humble but his work is littt. When I saw the way he put the acrylic on my nails... I was sold. Baby boy is young in the game but so talented!!! I will come back evey time I am back.

    The women here are so patient and kind. My friend and I came here as walk ins and they were happy to do our nails. I got acrylics and this abstract line design. I appreciate how the tech wanted to match my inspo photo. I really recommend coming here :)

    Im so glad I found this salon! As soon as I entered, it was fantastic: the atmosphere is warm and…read morefriendly, and it is possible to feel that the team is made of professionals. My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

    I noticed the business name change from Sapphire Halsted to Black Onyx when I booked on the Booksy…read moreapp and was admittedly a little hesitant until I saw Gala's name. I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!
