They did a good job but the back room where they do pedicures is pretty dark which I assume they expect to be relaxing but it can be a bit off putting when you can't see what's going on. I returned for a manicure. Pros: I was able to call in the morning and get an appointment for an hour or so later which I appreciated. My manicure is still going strong with minimal chipping over a week later, not sure if it's the quality of the polish I brought, or their top coat. Cons: this happens with a lot of places, but my skin was cut in the process of clipping cuticles. I didn't realize how bad it was until multiple nails burned whenever I washed my hands for the next few days. It also took a while for my manicurist to finish, which was a pro and a con because he seemed to take his time so that things turned out well. Overall this is a spacious salon and they were decorated for Halloween which was nice. After reading some of the reviews about cleanliness I'm not sure I would return but my experience was okay.

I visited Cassia for the first time this past weekend. A couple of coworkers had recommened this as…read morea great place for a pedicure. The pedicure itself was good, but the overall experience fell a bit short of my expectations. When I walked in, the salon felt chaotic. I was initially seated in one pedicure chair, took off my shoes, and was about to put my feet in the water when I was asked to move so another group of customers could sit together. I didn't mind accommodating them, but it was a little frustrating to have to put my shoes back on, grab my belongings and move to another station that still needed to be set up. The second chair didn't seem as well maintained. It was against the wall. The wall looked like it needed to be wiped up and there were multiple bottles of chemicals sitting between the chair and the wall. The tray for my belongings wasn't even set up until after I sat down and then it bumped up against the tray of the chair next to me. The pedicure itself was enjoyable, but the experience felt rushed rather than relaxing. Even the front desk interaction when checking out felt a bit standoffish. I think I'll give them one more try for a pedicure because everyone can have an off day, but for the price, I expected a little more hospitality and attention to detail.

Update: Next day I discovered a nice size welt above my eye lid after the brow wax. Never happens at my regular salon. Of course this is right before I am leaving town. . Going to have to figure out how to hide this thing. Overall, great ambience but I will not be back for a wax. Really disappointed. I thought I had found my treat spa.

First the good, the bad, and the ugly…read more I've been a loyal customer of Nailcessity for at least 7 years mainly getting eyebrow waxes and pedicures. I have always been very satisfied with both of the services listed and always provide a generous tip between 20-22%. About six weeks ago I was in Minneapolis attending my daughter's wedding and had a dip with chrome. I rarely have my nails done but after being so pleased with how beautiful my nails turned out, I decided to have them done again, this time at my own local nail salon. Here's the bad and ugly part of the review. I ended up having a family member who apparently is taking a greater role in Chloe's business--Uncle Tony, the other Tony recently left. Tony is in his early 50s and apparently needs to have his eyes checked. After removing the dip, and reapplying the new dip and chrome, he missed filling in the dip close to the corners of five nails. I pointed this out to him and he managed to correct those nails but I'm surprised that he isn't more particular in his technique. I also had a pedicure with someone who is fairly new who missed a lot of steps that I routinely had, foot and calf massage, hot towel etc but I missed those skipped steps at the time of service. My mistake. My dip on my left thumb chipped within one week and three polished toes also chipped within a week. I called to have a repair and they were agreeable to having me come in. Uncle Tony was trying to tell me that I must have done something to cause this and I told him my last dip lasted over 5 weeks with no chips whatsoever. I also mentioned that in Minneapolis they did not use the LED lights with their dip process. Meanwhile, the young employee was trying to tell me everyone has their own technique and their own way of doing things. I really don't care who does my nails as long as they can see what they are doing, take pride in their work, etc. When it came time to try to match my toenail polish color, Tony wasn't helpful and the young man told me to match the color myself. Very unhelpful! I'll miss Jada who is very nice and does an excellent job but Nailcessity lost my business and my generous tips!! I'll be happy to take my business elsewhere. Also, many employees have quit the past two years, and with Uncle Tony in charge--Good luck customers. He actually thinks it's a good idea to put an ATM machine right by the nail polish display blocking the very corner of the display. Is an ATM even legal in a nail salon business? Uncle Tony also added two flat screen TV's--why Uncle Tony?? I think most customers would prefer music vs screens. Also, Uncle Tony's work station is not clean--very dusty plus his nails are filthy with black dirt underneath them. Not a good look anytime--especially in the nail business. Uncle Tony.....You need a manicurist ASAP!! Also noticed nail tools sitting on a counter unsealed--hopefully sanitized before using on clients. I

The store is super full though and has excess junk in the back that is visible. Great customer service. Keith really knows his beads and can make whatever you request. We ultimately purchased four bracelets and some earrings that ended up costing $150. I'd say that was pretty pricey honestly. I mean the beads were nice, but not like some expensive/rare stones. I understand part of the charge is labor, but not sure I'd say it's worth that price. Not to mention, one of the bracelets broke after only wearing it once so we need to return to have it repaired-which is inconvenient since we live in Chicago. So...good place to visit...proceed with caution in terms of your purchase.

They have a grapefruit mint candle that is natural and smells refreshing, and I wanted to get that again. When we arrived, it was about 20 minutes prior to closing, but we decided to go in for a quick looksee. I pay attention to customer service and if the vibe is welcoming and this visit it was NOT! We did not get a hello or welcome. When paying for my candle, the owner said hello, my total, and asked me to punch in my card pin. Honestly, it felt as if we were stepping on toes for entering their shop close to closing. We weren't the last customers in the shop, and we were left the store 10 minutes prior to closing. When we left, the owner immediately ran outside and pulled in her sign and closed the door. My friend and I both talked about how unwelcomed we felt, and unfortunately, we decided we will not be coming back here. It has nothing to do with the items inside the shop, but it is a crummy feeling when you want to support a small business but are left feeling rushed and unappreciated.

I just got back from getting a Brazilian wax and an eyebrow tint with Susan. Can I just say she's AMAZING. I had a Brazilian wax a year ago from a fancy spa in Brookfield...(won't say the name but it rhymes with Chazana...) and I vowed I would NEVER do that again. My hubby talked me into it, and can I just say it was SO different from what I experienced????? Ok??? Susan was SO kind and understand and kept me talking the entire time. It only took about 15 minutes and was so much less painful than before. I couldn't believe she was done! She is SOOOO skilled that I'm already looking at the calendar to schedule my next one. KUDOS CHICKADEE! Also, the eyebrow tint was perfectly natural. Last time I got it done I looked like an Angry Bird. This time it was beautifully matched to my hair. SUSAN... YOU ROCK!! I can't wait to come back, and I will definitely refer ALL of my friends to you! Thank you for your expertise and commitment to doing things so professionally! See you in 4-6 weeks! :) Michelle

She was just plain rude and actually mean towards me. I felt like she was also in a rush because she opened the door while I was in the middle of changing. No knock or anything. Just opened it. I have had Brazilian waxes at 3 or 4 different places and this was the absolute most painful and she just kept tearing off the strips and had the nerve to tell me that I am probably one of those people that shouldn't get these waxes done because of how painful I said she was. It was her, not me. I never had a wax that was this painful. Then when she was done, I just wanted to get out of there so I hopped of the table and started to change. She had the nerve to say, "can you at least wait until I leave the room?". Seriously!!?? She had no problem walking in on me while I was changing and had just seen the most private areas of my body and she now had a problem that I wanted to get my clothes on as quickly as possible. This was about 8 months ago and I'm still angry that I tipped her so well for 10 minutes of the worst pain ever. I wish I hadn't tipped at all. I never felt so uncomfortable with her, this place, her attitude, etc. I honestly feel she was so rude because I am not a complete fake and was overweight at the time. I'm sure she is nice to everyone that is equally fake to her with Botox, fake books, fake face, etc.
