I've been on the hunt for a different nail salon and am beyond thrilled I went with relax nails! They have the largest selection of colors I've ever seen and the quality of their polish is great. At previous salons I've asked for 3 coats, however, at relax nails 2 coats does the job and does it well! This nail salon is kept clean and is beautiful. As soon as I walked in I instantly felt relaxed. They offer 17 different pedicures, WINNING AT LIFE HERE! I got a no chip manicure done by Kim and I am obsessed with how it turned out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kim's attention to detail is phenomenal, she took her time and made sure I was happy with the end product. She's super friendly, kind and I enjoyed talking with her.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the technicians here are trained by her so rest assured they ALL do a great job. I'm so grateful to have found my now go to nail place and can't wait to come back! Tips - bring cash for tips as you aren't able to add gratuity if using a CC. Also - if using a CC there is a $3 charge that goes to maintaining products and helping with their business. I find that very reasonable and would much rather pay $3 to support a small locally owned business vs a bank fee. read more

Appointment is recommended, but I had called before I went, so they told me to come on in. The men's mani and pedi is $50, but I added some additional options, so with credit card charge fee, it came out to $75 and more for tip. Your standard Asian ran nail shop, seems like the layouts are all the same :) the person doing my nails was great, took good care of me. Walked out satisfied and definitely will be back if in the area again. read more

Who ever recommends this place must be smoking crack. I try to avoid venturing out in Schaumburg at all costs since all customer service has gone to garbage. You're better off doing your nails yourself .... This place is absolutely filthy. Like their water wall in the back even has slime growing on it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I should have walked out as soon as I walked in with an appointment and no one knew what was going on or that I was booked even though I had a text confirming my appointment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They tell me to sit down in some random chair so I did. Then I immediately get told not to sit there and then again to sit there. No offer to take my jacket ... nothing... just demands[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Girl puts the foils on my fingers and then says ok go sit in the pedi chair- I get up dripping acetone everywhere, foils falling off, trying not to ruin my jacket or purse. I sit, water is too hot but I wasn't asked until after my feet were being scrubbed. Meanwhile I'm still fumbling with all my jacket and purse to put somewhere. As the pedi goes on she's digging so hard at my nails they are bleeding. The regular mani was just as crappy. Save you money, time and def go somewhere else!!!!! 0 stars is what this deserves read more

After searching for a good nail salon, I think I've found my happy place! I went to Kevin and got builder gel for the first time. I'm in love with my nails now! I don't think I'd ever go back to dip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kim and Kevin are so, so nice![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And great, relaxing atmosphere. read more

15 minute manicure from start to finish, abt $35 with tip, left dry skin hang nails on all fingers

Love Kim and all the artwork this lady has been able to do with my nails! I follow them on instagram and have even gotten my nail work posted! For every holiday and or anything you want she can do it. Highly recommend. I have two places I go to and this one is one of those two! Thanks Kim! read more

If I could give this a 0 star, I would. To start, a few years ago I regularly went to this location for an acrylic fill. The prices were different every single time, even when I wasn't getting a design and it was just one solid color. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a specific nail tech that was always so rough and so rude - so my friend and I just decided we would find a new salon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast forward to a few days ago, we decided to try this place out again. I showed a picture of what I wanted, the nail tech came back to say they don't have that color so I opted for a nude shade. She proceeded to paint my nails a bright white color. I decided they didn't look that bad so I left the salon but as I looked at my hands, I did not like the white. So first thing the next morning I called the salon as asked if they could be repainted and what the cost would be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was told on the phone it would be free and to come in later. Great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I go into the salon that evening, tell them what I'm there for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The receptionist calls up the tech that originally did my nails and the proceeded to look me up and down with dirty looks, to then tell me it would cost $40 for a repaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] No Ma'am. Once I'm seated with my new color picked out, the tech says "from now on, pick your own color". I did not respond as I was hoping she would just finish it and it'd be fine. She ruined my nail bed. I will be surprised if I dont have an infection in my thumb from her taking the drill and running over my skin countless times. Lets fast forward to the very end of my appointment. My left hand is drying and then I'm free to go. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tech says "when that hand is done, leave" and stomps away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I strongly recommend not going to this salon. You can try to avoid the mean tech but it does not matter who you book an appointment with, she weasels herself in anyway. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The nail techs name is Trang - she is the reason I stopped going there years ago and she did a great job at continuing that shitty experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of the best nail salons around. One thing I HATE about nail salons is that when they do acrylic sets, they leave them chunky and lumpy. I call the pistachio-shell nails. I ALWAYS recommend this place to my friends because they do the best acrylics!!! I don't even get acrylics myself, but I endorse this place anyways because my friends always get the shiniest and sleekest sets here. I love getting my pedicures here, they used to be a bit cheaper before COVID, but they're still affordable compared to everywhere else. Be sure to make an appointment. This place is really busy, and if you find yourself getting cut in line while waiting, just remind them that it was your turn, they're very tired. Don't forget to bring cash to too because you can't tip on card! read more

Love love this place!! I've been coming here since they opened and have been following Kim (the owner) all over the place since she's first done my nails 10+ years ago. Everyone is very friendly and always smiling and saying hi to everyone coming in. I drive 30+ mintiest to get here and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I always love my nails and if I don't I say something and Kim always fixes it. I love all the options of pedicures they have and all the colors for no chip and dip. read more

Relax Nails - I got this citrus pedicure today and it was amazing. - Nail Salons Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

First time at this salon. My go to spot was closed due to the holiday. Totally my fault for waiting to get my nails done. I received the luxury manicure/ no chip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Customer Service was great, however the final product was horrible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bubbles in polish, not dried despite it "suppose to be no chip. Will not be returning. I would not recommend this nail salon. Total waste of $60 read more

Went for a dip mani. Sloppy manicure and filed my nails crooked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very disappointing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I've been going here on occasion for past couple years. I went march 24th morning as a walk in and i got a no chip pedicure. I was out of town until today which is why i never went back to complain. My big toes have not healed. But my toes were perfectly fine before i went for my pedicure. I've never had an issue until this time. The first 7 days were extremely painful, i couldn't even wear shoes. My skin around my toes are still red and SUPER dry. Beware. read more

I've been looking for a good nail salon for weeks now and have tried others that I didn't like too much. Relax Nails was another try for me, but they did such a good job that I don't think I'd want to go anywhere else! I booked an appt at 11am (at 9am earlier that morning!) and almost immediately, I got a call from Lisa (who I booked with) and she said her 10:30am canceled and I am welcome to come earlier if I am able. I was so excited to be able to get my nails done earlier, so I hopped on the opportunity to do so. When I got there, it was busy! A wedding party had come in earlier than their original appt and Lisa was pulled away to do their nails. Trang ended up doing my nails and she did a great job! I love them so much and I would be happy to book with Trang again in the future. read more

I waited 3 months before posting this review to see if my thoughts have changed about the male tech/ maybe even he's salon owner and it's a firm no. He is arragant, cold and totally distintetested in his clients. That's why I tipped him $20. Bet he was surprised since he made me feel totally unwelcomed and was annoyed throughout the entire time. It was a long hour + sitting in that chair... The dip french manicure was so-so. He assumed I had natural nails so he had to add tips after the acetone melted them off. Of course he charged me for tips. He assumed I wanted oval shape nails. Didn't bother asking so my nails looked like 2 color Easter eggs . The white tip line was too thick. He didn't offer a hand massage, NOT surprising, and he totally rushed me off after he finished. I've been back twice since and the service was much better with the females. This salon is dated and their location is hard to get in and out of. read more

Mary... Mary - - never "contrary" always with an amazing disposition, loving &, caring person. If that's not enough this lady is absolutely brilliant as a nail technician, well above-average as a creative artist, funny (always making me laugh) and overall a beautiful human. Each time I leave this place I'm as relaxed as a floating cloud on a warm sunny afternoon read more

I love this place! I've been coming here for many, many years. They recently moved into a bigger space next door and the ambiance has everything you need to RELAX!! The staff are warm and welcoming and they genuinely care about your happiness with their work. I have never sat with a technician that has made me unhappy. I have always enjoyed my time here, and the main reason is because of the staff. I look forward to seeing them as much as I enjoy getting my nails done! Probably more so! I usually get the dip. There are so many colors and styles to choose from - it's almost overwhelming! I change my color every time and I have probably never picked the same color or style twice! They have these cute little menus for their pedicures. You pick which one you want and they bring out this tray of lotions and scrubs and whatnot. You close your eyes, sit back in the massage chair, and just let the music and technician take you away to your happy place! It is absolutely glorious! Would give 10 stars if I could! read more

I loved when Ryan was there he was a male tech who listens to his customers. But I've experienced a tech that did nails like I could do them at home myself and one as of last night that was to rough. All I am saying is consider listening to what the customer wants and give them options. Also make sure to check supplies. Have a good attitude and don't rush people because people CAN CHANGE THEIR MINDS about what style of nails they want. PS I had to swab peroxide on my fingers this morning after my nail appointment yesterday to prevent infection. My nail technician drilled my gel polish off, but hit my nail bed really hard with both my mani and pedi. I am really sad as I am moving on now to a different nail salon. read more

I went there today with a friend. They did a nice job with my nails I was very impressed with the service they did. I would love to come back. I don't know the ladies name who did my nails but she did an amazing job so thank you so much read more

Knowing my nail appointment is coming up always makes my week! I LOVE relax nails! I've been here several times and my nails always look and feel amazing for weeks. I've never gotten so many compliments on my nails! All the technicians are so kind, it's a very clean and relaxing atmosphere, and the owners Kim and Kevin are so kind and truly care about the quality of your service. I've looked for a "go-to" nail salon in Schaumburg for years, and I have FINALLY found the best one! I typically get an Acrylic nail fill, but have also gotten a pedicure here as well and I highly recommend. read more

I came on 8/1 for a no chip pedicure and although the "luxury pedicure" is $40 in their book of services, I was charged $50. I went back today for the same pedicure and was charged $60. Something about this place is shady. She didn't mention anything being of extra charge and I had the same exact service done both times. They charge whatever they feel like you're willing to pay, it seems. I won't be going back, I feel taken advantage of. read more

Drove 45 minutes to purchase a gift card, arrived @ salon @ 4:45 (closes @ 5:00). Was told no one was available to sell me a gift card DESPITE there being two customers in the store! Extremely frustrating and poor customer service! read more

I hate to do this since my wife absolutely adores this place but every time I come here with her, I usually have a bad experience. She usually schedules an appointment with her favorite nail tech, Kalie but I always end up getting stuck with the older lady (I forgot her name). A few months ago, I had a less than satisfying experience that was similar to this one but just dismissed it. Now I feel the need to say something. Came here last night for a Mani-Pedi. The girl started off ok on my pedicure but midway thru, while cutting my cuticles, on my right big toe, she cut too deep at the nail bed and I felt a sharp pinch then I saw a small dot of blood start to come out & the slight pain to follow. She knew she messed up because I saw her scramble really quick to remedy the situation with cotton & a liquid to clot the blood. Then minutes later, she applied the finishing touch, the wax, but walked away, took a personal phone call and left it on my legs way too long. She basically had to like scrape it off my feet then there was wax still peeling off when I went to put my shoes back on. Now in all fairness, I get that they don't get many men, let alone black men so they're likely inexperienced in dealing with men feet but there's no excuse for poor service in my opinion. Kalie, however, IS phenomenal because I had her 1 time about a year ago & enjoyed it. Sadly, if my wife come here again tho, she'll either have to come by herself or take someone else. I'm finding me a better spot! read more

My first time getting a pedicure. Very impressive with the cleanliness and friendliness. Kas did my pedicure and was very professional sharing with me some tips for nail care. She done an excellent job with my toes ;) Very reasonably priced! I will be returning! read more

If I could give it ten stars, I would. I went here after a long shift at work. Tim was the one who took care of me. I was so tired and he went the extra mile to make sure I felt pampered. I switched my nail color three times and he had no problem with it. Service was phenomenal. And the nails were great too. He did all my nails mani pedi and made my feet look brand new. read more

I have never wrote a review in my life but after my visit I just had to. I get my nails done and right after I ask the lady a question she starts giving me attitude and started being really aggressive. my skin was literally cut from how aggressive she was being and my nails have been in pain since I left. I've gotten my nails done over so many times and they have never hurt this bad in my life. My skin is all red and literally cut from the drill. Definitely DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! read more

My mom and came to this place. The employees are very friendly and they try to make you comfortable. My mom and i both did pedicure and the dipping powered. I had Kim and another young lady. Both did detailed work. Kim is the perfect person who do the dipping powered on your nails. Do not go to anyone else. She takes pride in her work. My mom had this lady name Helen. She was ok. She worked very slow. My mother thinks she did a ok job. One thing i didnt like, that Kim had to fix Helen's mistake because she did my mom dipping powder very thick. It is still ok because my mother left happy. I world come back to this because it is not to far from my job and home. I just know not to get Helen. read more

I just recently moved to this area and my sister and I wanted to go for no-chip manicures. I read so many reviews for the salons in our area and it seemed like every salon in a 10 mile radius had horrible no-chip reviews. We were starting to give up but I found this place and we thought we would give it a try. I called ahead to make sure they had openings and we were greeted right away and asked to choose a color. They told me over the phone that no chip is $32 which is a great price compared to other salons nearby. My nail tech's name was Kaylie and she sat me down right away. She was very friendly and started a conversation with me. She was also super sweet and complimented my hair color. I watched her while she was doing my manicure and she really did everything right. She did a great job trimming and pushing back my cuticles which many salons I've been to just skip or rush through. My nails were finally long after months of quarantine/work from home with the exception of two that broke but she followed my instruction to leave them as long as possible. She also nailed the shape I asked for, didn't apply too many coats, and gave me a nice hand massage while each other hand was curing. I waited to post a review until a week later because I wanted to see how they held up. They are still perfect even after cleaning my apartment multiple times. No peeling on the sides, chips, or damage of any kind. I rarely treat myself to a extra stuff like this but I definitely feel better about spending $40 for a manicure knowing it was done so well. Thank you Kaylie! (My sister was also very satisfied with her no chip mani but unfortunately I forgot to ask her what her tech's name was) read more

I really wanted to like this place but it was truly a poor quality pedicure. They sat me down in my seat and I waited 20 minutes while my nail bath water got cold for my nail technician to finally approach me. Nobody asked how I was doing or reassured me that I would be tended to soon. My nail tech hastily did my nails, actually cracking part of the top layer of my big toe nail off, then proceeded to cover and attempt to bond it with nail polish anyway... bizarre. It was the most painful pedicure I've ever experienced :( I came in with my sister and they also did her nails so aggressively that her toe cuticle bled! $30 is very reasonable for a regular pedicure, but go somewhere else if you want a thorough job well done. read more

Save your money!!! You will never catch me writing a bad review unless it really deserves one. This place is atrocious!! Absolutely horrible customer service. The lady doing my nails. Literally peeled my nails off with a fake nail just to save her time of soaking them off. Damaged my nails completely! Then she had the nerve to stick her nails into mine while filing them like she was basically horrifying by far the most rude and disrespectful I'm surprised how she even gets customers? I asked for gel nails with a very basic simple design. She told me she could do it and honestly it was by far from what the picture looked like and told me btw I can't do exactly that picture like how complicated could it be draw some basically lines. Nothing intricate at all. She took hour and a half and honestly it was shocking. At the checkout she told me it's 78 dollars for gel and design. I couldn't believe it I was like excuse me?? She gave me the breakdown and I was like fine paid her and walked out. I came home and thought I'm not going to let anyone bully me into paying for a job they havnt even done properly so I called Back and told them I need my moneys worth I'm coming back tomorrow and have it fixed. Second day she did a somewhat better job and sarcastically told me do u have enough time today? I'm like u had enough time yday too. Anyway more customers walk in complaining about the same exact issue as mine and I felt relieved not to be the only one going through this and of course it's the same lady that did mine. 1 week later all my nails are broken and all the nail polish peeled off because they use the most cheapest products out there. I would rate this place a below zero star if I could. I've disputed the charge with my credit card company because I went in again thinking they need to fix this it hasn't even been a week the lady at the reception gave me so much attitude and told me ur lucky we are even giving u the nail design money back. I couldn't believe it they booked me in again to only tell me that!! Why even call me back? I've never dealt with such horrible people! I'm still in shock how they are in business. This picture is only a week after getting my nails done read more

I forgot about this place for awhile, and true to my word, did not return,,, until today. Popped back onto my radar recently because a friend of mine mentioned that she gets her eyebrows done here. I needed a mani-pedi before the weekend and stopped by after work... the place looks like it is doing well, and the owner/manager did my MP because everyone else was busy. So while I was there, saw a pretty good improvement in customer service. I was offered a drink, magazines and immediate seating with the chair massage already started... very relaxing and time went by quickly... While I was there I noticed a concerted effort for good customer service with all the other clients. Impressive. Got a bottle of water, good pedicure, decent manicure, and good chair massage. Nails look good, but more importantly, got a good vibe at the salon. The people like each other, and they like their customers... not just numbers to them... BEST IMPROVED... tells me I should give places another chance. read more

I just moved to the burbs from downtown Chicago and was on the hunt for my new nail salon. After trying a few, I've definitely found it here! My nail tech was Mary and she was soo sweet!! She took her time. Nothing felt rushed at all. The manager introduced herself to my and my sister-in-law. We both received amazing service and will definitely be back for our next mani/pedi! We both got the lavender pedicure and it was a heavenly treat! I also got a no-chip done as you can see in the picture. It was so well done! Thanks Mary and friendly staff at Relax Nails! read more

I came here on a whim to get my nails done and the first time I went in, my nails were not done well at all. They were curling at the cuticles and then the day after they cracked. I went back in and they had to redo them but the day after that, they cracked again. They wouldn't refund my money and offered to do it again! I don't want to get it done again, it takes time out of my schedule to do it again and theirs. Not to mention the fact that my nails were already weak from doing it twice and my cuticles were dry from the long soak offs in acetone. I would not recommend this place. They had me redo it and chose this sheer color for me which was completely different from my initial color. You can see some of my black sweater fuzz trapped on my index finger. I got this redone yesterday and it is cracking already. I am incredibly frustrated and disappointed. The day that I came, someone else was complaining about the girl that did my nails and I should have listened but I felt bad. I will not be returning and I'm going to see what I can do to get refunded. Update: i tried getting manicure somewhere else and they couldn't even remove the polish that I got put on here. They said it was done incorrectly because even after soaking, they could not scrape off the color. That sheer color is still on my nails and I just have to wait until it grows out because it will not come off. read more
