I told them on the phone I wanted to get overlay removed and I specifically said I didn't know what was on my nails and I said it was a powder and the woman on the phone said "probably acrylic" and I said "probably but I'm not sure" then she said I could come in right now. It took me two minutes to get there since I live so close. Yet the entire time Sara was doing my nails she a was frantic and looking at the clock and when I asked how it was coming off instead of just answering she goes "if you had acrylic you should have just said you had acrylic! Not gel!" Never once on the phone did I even mention gel let alone say I had gel on. I even said I could have come a different time if you were going to be in such a rush. Idk why they said I could come now. Such a bad vibe from her the entire 30min she was doing my nails. Then I was happy to be done with her and enjoy a relaxing pedicure. Well that didn't happen. Sammi said I booked a regular polish appointment yet when I called all I said was I wanted to get my toes done and no other questions were asked! Then she said I could pick out a regular polish if I wanted a pedicure and she didn't have time for gel. Would never come back here or recommend it. There's a lot better places in Park Ridge that respect the customer and make them feel welcomed. Such a weird and disappointing experience since I was excited to try a salon so close to my house.

Here's an updated…read more PLEASE BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. I decided to give this place a chance anyway, and I seriously regret it because they completely messed up my nails. First, I called to make an appointment for three people. They asked what kind of nails we wanted and told me to send our nail inspiration pictures so they could decide which nail tech would be the best fit. I sent everything, but they never texted me back. When I arrived, they sat me with a lady named Vivian (or something similar). She immediately pulled out Gel-X nail tips. I told her, "No, I want acrylic nails." She then took out polygel instead, and I told her again that I wanted acrylic because I'm paying for the service I asked for. She kept insisting that acrylic was harmful for my nails and convinced me to get polygel instead. I also had an injured fingernail and specifically asked her to leave that finger alone. She ignored my request and put polygel on it anyway. While shaping my nails, she kept hurting that finger because the nails were extremely thick. She even admitted she wouldn't charge me for that finger because of it. Then she started filing with the drill and repeatedly burned my nails because she wasn't lifting the drill properly. The nails ended up looking bulky and way thicker than I wanted. The rhinestones looked terrible--they were just randomly placed on my nails with no attention to detail. To make it worse, she got nail polish and glue all over my hands and never bothered to clean it up. When it was time to pay, my total came to $115. My nails weren't even long, and I was shocked to find out I was being charged extra for polygel--even though I had originally asked for acrylic and only got polygel because she talked me into it. No one explained there would be an extra charge. To make matters even worse, the nail tips started coming off shortly after I got them done. For the amount I paid, I expected them to last, but they didn't. They began lifting and popping off way too soon, which made the quality even more disappointing. The whole experience was frustrating from start to finish. My friend's nails were almost identical to mine, yet I was charged so much more. Before I left, the nail tech started talking to the owner and seemed upset with me. They ended up not charging me for the rhinestones, but that honestly didn't make a difference considering how poorly the service was. I would not recommend this salon. They didn't listen to what I asked for, ignored my concerns about my injured nail, hurt me during the service, left my nails looking thick and messy, and charged me for something I never wanted in the first place. On top of that, the nails didn't even last, and the tips started coming off soon after. Definitely not worth $115. THIS PLACE IS ALL LOOKS IF YALL WANT CUTE NAILS LIKE THE INSPO JUST DONT

All the nice amenities are gone. Rosie kept her salon clean, fresh and always happy. Rose ran a very nice salon, greeted customers and made sure you were happy with the services. Always a nice neighborhood vibe. The nail polish used for my mani was either old or put on too thick that it never really dried and hours later I had gashes. Polish was left on the skin/cuticles but since it's so dark in there and I had a light color I didn't notice until I was outside. Either the tech forgot the hand lotion or just wasn't in the mood to complete the services. So disappointing.

When I arrived the place was empty. The owner?/manager? Was curled up in a pedicure chair and covered with blanket. I was glad because now they do dips there. After the service I got I would not return. She did nothing t get up out of chair when I came in. I understand it was empty so the other 2 were on their phones. She told the gentleman to do my pedi. He got the foot bath ready for me. I had trouble communicating with him. He spoke little to no English. He kept talking to the manager during the whole service as though he did not know what he is doing. Needless she never got up to help or check what he was doing. While I was there another gal came in for a mani and a pedi by the third employee. She was finished with both before I was close to leaving. There was 1 coat of color put on my toes. At the time I doubted myself so I did not mention it. He was putting the polish on. He still had not done the mud mask for my feet. I asked the manager? What about the mud mask. She said that he would still do it. I thought how could he do it over the fresh polish. He used some CLEAR solution on my legs. Not mud and not mudlike. He wrapped my legs in a plastic wrap. Then aimed "steam machines" toward my legs and walked away and sat down. Did not say how long it was going to take. After 10-15 minutes I moved them off. It was not comfortable. The "manager" saw and called him over. He removed the wrap and looked at my toes. I was not sure if the polish made it to the edges. He said something to the manager and she came over. While she was he once again painted the edges of 4 nails. She took her finger to test if they were dry and smudged the polish. The color did stay but smudged. She painted over the 4 toes. He then attempted to put my flip flops on me in an odd way. Did not have success so I did it myself. She then said I could go when I wanted. I was not going to stay another 10-15 minutes to dry again. There was no drying table. I did tip him usually. I did not feel it was his fault. I think he was surprised. Also near the bathroom there is a sink to wash your hands. Above the sink is a large hole in the wall. You can see into the restroom! There was a picture or something against the wall from outside the restroom. It still left a nice size hole you could look into and still see the toilet. The highlight of the pedicure... online it said it takes 45 minutes. I was there 2 hours without staying to have my nails dry! I wish Rose had not left.

However, I noticed the one doing my nails was in a rush and wasnt as through as I wanted the experience to be. She kept looking up and at the clock. As for the nails, it was nice at first. Then after a couple of days (5 days), it started to peel off. I'm assuming it's because of the rushed experience. If you are planning on getting no chip, it may just last less than 2 weeks just FYI.

However, her attention to detail was not great.

She also didn't tell me that one of my nails was almost coming off on my left foot. Lastly she didn't shape my left pinky toe well. It was a straight across and the left corner was pointy vs slightly curved. I was quoted $30 for the Pedi over the phone but I guess they added $5 to remove the no chip? Not a big deal, just stating for info purposes. Unfortunately I won't be returning.

I also have the products at home. The polish remover was not Dazzle Dry. Neither was coat #1 a branded DD product. I know the polish was DD, because it was on the label. I could see the top coat was DD. The tech rather roughly removed polish with the non-DD remover. Then she left to do a pedicure. Another tech took her place to complete the manicure. She asked me if I wanted my brows done. No. She repeated the question. I started to feel quite self-conscious. Do I have a Frida monobrow? Eugene Levy brows?
