Super clean, organized, and calm environment…read more Erica did amazing! Super detailed and I love that they use files and do cuticle prep manually and not with a drill. I'm usually stressed while getting my nails done but this was relaxing! The shoulder massage was a great perk and they even gave me a little lotion as a Christmas gift. I left with chocolate, moisturized hands, and cute nails. Will return!

Y'all, it's been REALLY hard for me to find a solid pedicure spot in Chicago…read more Was running errands on a Friday afternoon I requested off and this was in the area. I desperately needed a pedicure and noticed they have a special Monday - Wednesday (just wanted to note). The reviews seemed good enough and I was pleasantly surprised! The salon was packed and one person was waiting before me. Always a great sign imo. I walked in and waited less than 15 minutes. Didnt catch the name of the lady who did my pedicure but she was awesome! I chose the regular producer for $39 and she was very thorough. She scrubbed the callous and took her time. I didn't feel rushed at all and I also didn't feel like I was sitting too long. They also give a quick shoulder massage while you dry your nails which is a nice touch. Out the door, everything cost $46 which isn't bad for the city. I have to note how lovely she painted my nails too. She didn't overpaint - I've noticed some places have been doing three coats of color - yikes. They had about six pedicure chairs and maybe eight for manicures? I didn't get a manicure but one thing I noticed and love is that they keep the services separate. It makes it feel so much nicer. There's also a few spots to park in a private lot - super convenient. I'll definitely be giving them another shot.

I left a review warning the clients about the staff, the shop is under new management…read more I've went here maybe twice and at first I didn't recognize the staff but apparently they recognized me. The staff worked at a similar shop in Humboldt Park and I was a client for 7 years. One day I had an appointment and unfortunately the double and triple booked me. After taking off my polish and having me sit in the bowl for an hour - I had to leave. When I left the male tech chased after me and tried to force me to pay for a full pedicure but they hadn't done anything but sit me in water. When I refused, he spit at me and I never went back. Fast forward now, I moved and this is the closest shop. I didnt recognize them at first so I went twice. The third time I came in and they were busy I said okay but they were very rude and when he took off his mask I recognized him. I proceeded to write a review warning people about this incident. I wrote a review. I felt bad so I came back to do a small service, the same guy who spit at me confronted me in front of all of the clients. They wanted me to take the review down or they would be refusing service. Please do not go here. The work is decent, the prices are cheap and Katie is the nicest one. However, the male tech is a pig. Also, you can't refuse service because I wrote an honest review. I understand that shop is new but the same guy works there

7AM is a total vibe. I've been to their other locations & loved it so when I heard this location…read moreopened I was excited to try it! 7AM never disappoints! The place is immaculately clean. The nail techs offer the most solid work in the city. (Shoutout to Monica who took care of me today!) Most importantly, they know how to read the room. They keep conversation going when you want it & let you chill out when you're not up for it. Also, they offer Dazzle Dry which I love because gel wrecked my nails & not many places have it. Go here. Thank me later.

I just checked out 7am Nails on Elston for a pedicure and I'm honestly obsessed. This is their 7th…read morelocation and you can tell -- everything feels super elevated and thoughtfully designed. The space is absolutely stunning -- warm tones, clean aesthetic, and such a relaxing vibe the second you walk in. It genuinely feels more like a boutique spa than your typical nail salon. I'm big on ambiance and this place nailed it (no pun intended ). The staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming. My nail tech took her time, made sure I was comfortable, and nothing felt rushed -- which is huge for me. You can tell they really care about the experience, not just getting people in and out. Also can we talk about how clean and organized everything is? Immediate green flag. If you're looking for a clean, aesthetic, and genuinely relaxing nail spot in Chicago, this is definitely worth checking out. It's giving self-care, it's giving main character energy... already planning my next visit

Tony is the only one who does a decent job. Two of my nails broke after a week so I went back to…read moreget it fixed. She charged me $15 for two nails that were not only completely different colors, but we're done so terribly. Not to mention the lady was causing me physical pain grabbing and twisting my fingers. She's not gentle at all. I kept pulling away so she would get the hint that it hurts. My sister got the worst pedicure of her life the last week as well. Polish all over past where her nail was. Truly embarrassing.

I just had received possibly the worst manicure in my life here…read more Before I go on I have to say that the man that works here (I think his name is Tony) is excellent and does a great job every time; is kind; and gentle. The woman who did my nails today gripped my fingers really hard and twisted them and it hurt! When cleaning under my nails she was stabbing me with the tool. The worst part was just how sloppy of a job she did. It looks terrible. I asked her to clean it up and she spent 30 seconds picking off some trim. I'd had enough by then. You can be the judge.

Best nails place in Chicago. I have been going to them since their opening and never had a bad…read moreservice. It's extremely clean and cutely decorated. They have extremely comfortable massage chairs. My favorite thing is 'Volcano Spa Pedicure'' ,for $20 more on top of a normal pedicure , you receive extra treatments and get a 10 minute foot and leg massage. The perfect treat after a long day. On top of all that, you can pick out nail designs on Pinterest and 9 of 10 times, they can do the design. I ALWAYS get compliments everywhere I go and my gel nails still look good after 5 weeks! For customers who complain about Dip, they should really switch to gel manicures. Dip absolutely ruins your nails, that's why they are probably messed up, especially if you have fine nail beds. Gel makes your nails way stronger, allowing the manicure to last over a month. Getting gel off is much easier today than in the past while dip still messes your nails up when removing. Then, they have quick dry nail polish that I get on my feet. It dries fully by the time my manicure is finished. It might just be me but my toe nails last a month too. However, expecting a dry fast nail polish to last more than a week is rather hopeful. Again, gel gives you so many opportunities to decorate your nails in many ways, stronger. Most of my friends have switched to them. I almost don't want to write a review ,so the secret gets out, but these ladies deserve the appreciation! They are true artists and so kind! Shout out to my favorite, Augie!!! Thank you for always making me feel beautiful!

Within 36 hours a pinky nail popped off. I glued it back on with nail glue because I had a wedding to attend. It's been one week and all the nails have lifted/popped off besides the thumbs. I would have been better off with glue on nails.

Considering I am a bit soft spoken they may not have heard me, BUT I don't know why they would even start a service as well as charge for something they can't complete. They quite literally slapped some paint on the nails I had removed the acrylics from myself (without even buffing, or filing them), sat me under the dryer with no guidance. Assuming they would take the acrylics off at some point I just aimlessly waited a solid 20minutes until another employee told me I could pay. The Embarrassment I had walking out the door was truly humbling.

I got a new full set of acrylic, almond shape nails, and it was done perfectly and quickly.

Would recommend anyone looking for a great fill or full set, to check out this place.
