    I went into Ruby Nails on Tuesday (when it's 20% off for Northwestern students) and was greeted kindly by the staff! The salon was full when we got there, so we returned in an hour and we were immediately attended to. I got a normal manicure and loved the service. I am obsessed with how they were filed down and buffed, and will be going for this shape more frequently. While I was waiting for my nails to dry, I got a massage free of charge and got to enjoy the episode of Friends that was playing on the screen. Ruby Nails is a clean and professional salon that I wish I knew about earlier. I will definitely be back on a Tuesday to get my nails done soon! :)

    This was my first pedicure since the pandemic happened and it was by far the best experience I've ever had. Everything was clean and sleek. I had a whole leg facial/massage going on! It was great I felt so relaxed! Definitely will be back!

    I was in town for a few days and did a quick search of nail salons. This place was fantastic -- probably my best manicure ever. Fully COVID compliant, with plastic shields between the person doing your nails and the customer. The woman who did my nails was meticulous and efficient. I'd asked for a semi-sheer neutral hue that still had some color. Once she did the first layer she noticed it was probably more sheer than I'd wanted (without me having to say a word) and brought over some alternative options, which were perfect. I'd recommend this salon to anyone, and would also be wait until I'm next in Evanston to get my nails done just to come back here.

    Way too heavy on tip of nails.

    Second time here and only went because it's close to home. Not impressed by their lack of materials and method. Got my no chip gel-mani and my L hand is uneven. Nail technician went too heavy at top of nails and its bumpy and unflattering. R hand looks ok, but from overall look, I can already tell my manicure is not going to last. I should've known better. I'm going to stick to my crew at Heavenly nails in Glenview. Theirs last forever and their technique is spot on. Won't be back.

    A week after my pedicure, and this is what my foot looks like due to incredibly aggressive scrubbing. Why they thought this area of the foot required this level of scrubbing, I have no idea. My foot started bleeding in the middle of the pedicure. I told them they scrubbed too hard and pointed out the injury. Alcohol was dabbed on, which was painful, and I proceeded to ask for ice because it burned so much. Throughout the entire process, there was no verbal apology, no offer of refund or discount. In fact, at the end of the pedicure they awkwardly left me on the chair for 20 minutes until I said it was probably dry. I paid and tipped b/c I didn't want to cause a scene at the time, but now I regret not speaking up!

    Im a regular at getting my nails done and having relocated to Evanston recently, I was hoping it wouldn't take long to find a reliable place. This place didn't disappoint. Wine on arrival (it was a Wednesday) and a solid Mani pedi which is literally showing no sign of chipping two and a half weeks later and I haven't been treating them kindly at all. Yes it was a little pricey ($70 for a Mani pedi) but worth it for how indestructible they are proving to be. Will be back again!

    Today I was in the area and decided to come by to this particular location out of all the places in…read morethe area. Just to clarify this is by first time coming to this location. When I arrived I specifically asked for a "French no chip mani" lady asked me like 30 questions before proceeding to do the job and I was very clear explaining what I wanted. Through out the entire visit as soon as she started applying the color I had asked for she kept complaining that "the job seemed to be easy, but it is not". I totally understand the job wasn't easy and that is the reason why I pay for someone to do it for me. I pay from my pocket I don't expect for it to be FREE. She kept making mess herself and painting her own finger tips and she did once on the center of my nail. She kept complaining over and over again that the color was too messy and talking to her colleagues next to her in her language and I can almost guarantee that she was talking about my nails since the guy was too obvious staring at my nails. Please note that I had in mind that I was going to pay over $60 since I know this is what they normally charge in other places and I did not care about it as long as I received the service I wanted it and that I like and on top of that I normally leave a tip which is over the % they normally tip them. She did not do what I had asked for and only she only applied once coat on each finger. She made me put my right hand once because she kept messing up. When she "finished" she asked me "if I like" my mistake was saying yes since she already looked exhausted and upset and I didn't know that they only require cash tips. As soon as I told her that I was leaving tip on the card with the front person she immediately said "only cash" and I said to her I didn't have any cash and she immediately said "Zelle, you have it" I said yes to her and I proceeded sending her the tip I should her I had already send it to her and saw the amount which was $15 her face expression changed instantly not sure if she was ashamed of the actions and complaining throughout, but she even grab my hand as a form gratitude I am assuming. As I proceeded to pay the front desk immediately ask me for Zelle also and charged me $70 which I did not care because I know that was a "hard work". As I am in the car I checked them again and you can see the spots and the edges not fully covered. This is the very first time I come to a place where they only do I coat and specifically for a dark color (black) I am very dissatisfied and disappointed. I am also sure that in a couple days the color will start fading away. But will definitely not recommend and never commit back!

I ended up getting my proposal and engagement party nails by her so I had to come get my wedding nails done by her as well. She did not disappoint! Every time she does a set, they last so long and they look exactly like the picture inspo I showed her. I got a pedicure with my MOH and a full set and they were so kind and patient with us both. Obviously a little pricey but for the quality you're getting, you might as well go to a place that knows what they're doing.

    TLDR: DO NOT COME HERE FOR DAZZLE DRY, spend your money elsewhere!…read more I booked an appointment here for dazzle dry manicure and pedicure, about $15 above the average price in the area. When I arrived, I saw to my dismay they had a much more limited array of dazzle dry colors, so I had to compromise on a toe color that was an off red when I wanted a more classic red. It was hard to tell though how off, as the space was dimly lit with blue white light that made it hard to picture what it would look like in sunlight. I unfortunately do not know the name of my nail technician, as on the reservation it said a female name but he was a man. My pedicure and manicure ended up being much faster than at other places, and as he started my left hand a female technician came up and started chatting and they just continued to talk the rest of my appointment. My manicure was a light color and I was outside I realized the thumb was not only very clearly not even layers, but it also had ripples. I unfortunately did not take a picture, but by the time I was able to come back five hours later I also realized there was multiple pin prick holes on my left hand nails; which means he likely did not know how to apply dazzle dry and put the layers on too thick and without drying, which already did not look great and also meant they were likely to chip further within a couple days. When I came back and asked them to redo the hand, they insisted I be seen by the same man as before despite me asking for someone more experienced with dazzle dry. He redid my thumb but refused to redo the other nails with holes other than to put clear. While the thumb looked better, it still had either a crack or a dark hair or something and still wasn't even. At this point I asked if they could just refund me the $20 for dazzle dry as I was going to need to repaint it soon but respected they had done the rest of the manicure/pedicure and they said absolutely no refunds. They finally gave me someone else who actually did fix it, but this meant my second trip took forty minutes, which was really upsetting because I had paid for dazzle dry as I was busy and wanted something that would dry fast and last a longer time. I have attached photos of fingers after the SECOND ATTEMPT. He also did not file my big toes evenly, they still had bumpy edges.

    I NEVER thought I would be the type of person to write reviews, but this place truly deserves one…read more So I am taking the time to write one! because other people definitely have to check this place out! I went in for a pedicure and a no-chip French tip. When I left, I wasn't completely satisfied the tips were a bit crooked and too thin, and the French base was more milky white instead of the neutral pink I prefer. I didn't say anything at the time because I'm pretty shy, and I didn't want to come off bratty. After showing my nails to a friend, she encouraged me to call and get them fixed. I was hesitant because I didn't want to come off as someone who complains, but I'm really glad I did. The receptionist was incredibly sweet, super apologetic, understanding, and accommodating,. She encouraged me to come back in and insisted they could fix them . When I returned, another nail tech gladly fixed my nails exactly how I wanted them. Not once did anyone make me feel uncomfortable or like I was being difficult. They were kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming the entire time!!!!!! Great customer service makes all the difference, and they really delivered!!!!! I truly appreciate how they handled everything . I was super happy!!!!! Definitely recommend this place!

I started coming here shortly after they opened, having randomly stumbled upon their Instagram with only a handful of followers. Right away, I was impressed with the clean and beautiful space, quality, pricing, and welcoming staff. All of the nail artists there are 10/10, kind, and talented! I've never had a nail salon where the techs remember what we talked about weeks prior. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know the entire team!!! They truly make the salon what it is and bring the best energy. Due to the salon's focus on natural nails, my nails have gotten longer and stronger. I've loved every set I've gotten, and the girls have let me try new trends, such as cat eye and fairy dust. I've loved exploring different nail ideas, and the artists at Glow always do an incredible job executing any ideas you have. I've also had a few great pedicures here. The pedicures have been so relaxing, and my feet always look incredible after, no matter how rough of shape they were in when I walked in. I appreciate the time and care they put into all their services. I have recommended Glow Nails to so many friends in the area and will continue to do so!!! I wish I had more photos of the nails I've gotten done here, as I've had so many wonderful sets, but I'll include some favorites.
