Made an appointment for a gel pedicure and I was able to get sat right when I showed up, which may not sound that impressive but I've had appointments at other salons in the city and have had to wait for 30 min before sitting down. The place is updated and quite cute inside. Everyone was really nice to me, I was thanked for still showing up for my appointment because it was down pouring which I thought was really nice of them. Vivian did a great job on my toes, the pedicure experience includes your typical soak, nail maintenance, exfoliation, hot towel, etc. I will definitely be back! read more

I had an amazing experience at Salon NB! The pedicure was extremely fairly priced, the salon was clean, and the workers were friendly. Tina took her time on my dip manicure and did an amazing job; I will definitely be returning! read more

I booked an appointment online, it was confirmed, and I had zero issues. I arrived a few minutes early and they were ready for me. Staff was so nice, place was clean, and good massage chair! I got a no-chip mani/pedi and I was in and out in under a hour and a half. :) looking forward to coming back!! read more

I've been coming here for years and the quality of the service is always great, but lately timing has been a huge issue. I made an appointment for a 4pm pedicure and while I was seated right away, they didn't actually start on my nails until 4:30 (while multiple other people who arrived after me had already gotten their service started). My nail tech was super apologetic which I appreciated, but by the time my nails were done I had been there for nearly two hours. My nail tech was also getting up regularly during the service to assist people who had just arrived to check in for their appointments, which is part if the reason I think it took so long. If this was the first time something like this had happened I wouldn't think anything of it, but twoish months ago I had an appointment and was left waiting almost a half an hour to get started. I hope they work out their timing and scheduling kinks soon because what's the point of making an appointment if you're going to make clients wait 30 minutes? read more

I rarely post reviews, yet alone bad ones, but I just had to provide feedback after a bad experience I had with this salon. This has been my go-to nail salon since moving in the area and haven't really had any issues. I always get gel manicure and they do a decent job each time. However, a recent appointment I had on Tuesday disappointed me. I had Gel X nails done from another salon last month for my birthday and came to Salon NB to have them removed. When I came in, I got helped right away and the service itself was quick but towards the end, another customer came in and the manager (?) was rushing the nail tech helping me, and the nail tech literally half assed the service, put some oil and called it a day. I was like, "that's it?" I could've done this at home! Not to mention the nail tech was really aggressive with filing my nails and didn't seem like she knew what she was doing.. I'm attaching photos of what my nails looked like after the service and 2 DAYS later. Mind you I work a desk job and didn't do anything labor intensive for my nails to look like it these. I also noticed the day after that one of my fingers had a cut and was bleeding. Anyway, I'm upset and I had to get it redone at another salon in order to fix it. This has been my go-to salon for years and I'm a believer that one rush job shouldn't be the basis of my entire experience but sad to say I won't be coming back. read more

Would not recommend, at least for dip nails. I came in with dip on my nails and they didn't even remove 100% of the old dip before starting. I thought it was odd but figured they knew what they were doing. They did my dip in about 20 mins, only 2 layers of color (usually get 3 at other salons). Not even a day after, two of my nails had begun to chip from the tips. Almost like they were worn, but it has only been a day I went in about three days after to get those two nails fixed. Now it's been about 5 days, and another 3 nails are chipping PLUS one of the ones I got redone. Quality has just been terrible. read more

I've been coming to Salon NB since moving from Lakeview to LP three years ago. They are very quick with it and precise. I always feel taken care of and usually it does not take long. For dip, I'm usually out within an hour and for a regular pedicure, usually 30 mins. The staff are all very friendly, too! I've recommended a handful of friends who moved to the area here and they're all satisfied too. Great prices as well. read more

Poor communication - I asked how the long the wait would be for a manicure, they did not respond clearly. I waited for a bit and then they moved me to a manicure station, where I waited again. No clear response. The nail technician then wrapped my nails in foil and acetone and left me waiting for 30 minutes, while she worked on someone else's nails. No communication at all. If they were busy they could have said so instead of wasting my time. Terrible results - 30 minutes is too long for nail polish remover. I decided to just remove the paint and leave. She did a quick shoddy job at that after making me wait for a total of one hour. The skin on my fingers is extremely dry, and my nails are unbearable to touch all probably damaged because of that long soak time. I've been here a couple of times before but thanks to their complete disinterest they lost a customer. read more

I'll echo Cara T's review. I've been coming here pretty consistently for over a year and have only had about 1 experience where my dip nails started chipping after 2 weeks. Every other time my nails have been perfect and lasted over 4 weeks! The staff here are kind, efficient, detailed, and prices are very reasonable. Love this place! read more

Used to come here for regular mani & pedi - it's good for that. I switched to no-chip, and their no-chip services have destroyed my nails. The no-chip gel they use is old, thick, and impossible to get off - requiring them to drill, foil acetone soak, drill again into my natural nail. Now my nails are thin, weak, & rough. Aside from the bad no-chip products, there's a mix of good and bad techs. The last tech I had was so careless, cutting my cuticles, trying to put chemicals on the cut & blood, and turning away while using the electric drill and running it over my skin. Twice. read more

Was in a pinch and read reviews that seemed to be good. Maybe for women's nails or gel they are great, but for a basic mani/pedi it was an extremely poor job. Lady was nice, but she didn't do a great job. From my photos, you can see nails are uneven, cuticles all over the place. Pedi, water basin wasn't even full to let my feet soak before she began and it was quick and my feet look worse than before i went in. I get my nails done every other week. Not worth the price and wouldn't recommend. I'll have to just correct them myself at home. read more

Went here as a new customer for a regular dip manicure - made my appointment for one day out and had no issue getting a time slot. Service is really quick, I was surprised in the best way, and final product looks fantastic. Knocking one star from my first visit as I had a few bloody cuticle cuts on both hands and the first tech was applying heavy heavy force to grind down my nails that was a little painful. That being said, it's a convenient location, competitive pricing and my nails look fantastic. Will absolutely return and would recommend read more

I went to get a full set and a week later one of my nails fell off... i went back to let them know and they had no issue putting on a new one... its been 2 weeks since ive had them on and 2 more fell off... i paid $100 for a service and im very disappointed... never had these issues in a span of 2 weeks ive had 3 of my nails fall off ... thing is I was very pleased in the beginning but for $100 i wouldve expected them to stay on for atleast 3 weeks! read more

My first visit here and I'll be back! Vivian was so precise, I'm so happy. Thank you!

Walk ins welcome. Friendly staff and they do a good job with manicure and pedicure. Comfortable pedicure chairs. Clean.

It was super easy to schedule an appointment with them online however the time I selected was already taken so I feel like there could've been a better system. When I walked in, the guy had no clue which service I was here for even though I put regular manicure online. I got to pick out a color and got seated with a nail tech. She got started and was very polite and gentle. However, right before starting the painting process she asked if I could pay. I was kind of confused because usually for services like these you would pay after especially when it came to tipping. I tipped around 15-18% before she even painted my nails which is thought it was interesting. I thought the nail tech did a pretty good job and I haven't had any significant or noticeable chipping after a week of having them done. They also have a $2 difference if you pay in cash! read more

I wanted to give this place a second try and it was my last time. The space and ambiance is nice. It's clean, spacious, and has welcoming atmosphere. The service, however, is very mediocre. Everything feels rushed - especially the massage portion of the pedicure. It's very rushed and time spent massaging calves is less than 2min per leg. It feels like they try to get you out of the chair as soon as possible. Not coming back. read more

I've gone to Salon NB for about a year now and have usually had a good experience with them. This past week though, I went in for a manicure and the tech cut my cuticles on 2 fingers to the point of them bleeding. 3 days later, my cuticle is still red, puffy and irritated. I am very disappointed in the service and the lack of anything offered to correct it. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be returning here. read more

I found my new salon. It's beautiful and clean. The women working are kind and truly do take so much care. Also, the detail they put into their work is amazing. I'm in love with my holiday nails! Update: after 3/4 days were chipping. I'm so sad!! All of them are off right now. They were beautiful, but didn't last. Not worth the $$ for how long they stayed on my nails. read more

I called, mentioned I wanted a design type nail appointment. They set me up with someone that wasn't able to create the design I wanted. They did try, but the effect was way off. After, I said it was not right, they had someone that was much better take over. The issue was that the second person, worked with the mistake instead of starting over. I wanted a crazy design, but these look messy. No attempt to remedy the situation. It felt very rushed. This plus a pedicure ( no color on the toes) was $100 plus tip. The tech that finished the nails had a person waiting and rushed the job. All you need to do is ask to fix the nails and I'd come back in. read more

I have tried to give this place a chance too many times now. The first time, it was clear she was rushing through my pedicure, and my feet didn't even feel soft after I left. This time, she made me bleed TWICE, the color dip was nothing like the sample I picked because she only put 2 layers. Complete waste of money, would rather go to my typical nail place up the road. $50 for this!? Insane. No thank you, I learned my lesson and will never go back. read more

I came in for a gel mani with designs and polish change on toes. The lady who worked on my nails did not pay great attention to details. The polish was either spilling to the side or not close to the cuticle. I can tell my gel is going to lift 2 days from now. And to the easiest service, polish change for toes, she put too much polish on so then when she applied top coat, it looks smudged and messy. If you are okay with nails looking okay from far, then yes this is your place, but if you want long lasting nails, I do not recommend this salon. read more

What a rip off. I walked past this salon and saw $47 on the sign for a no chip pedicure. All the way at the bottom (in small letters) was written cash deal, but nowhere on the top was it made clear that the $47 was only if you paid cash. So if you pay with a credit card you pay $50. On top of this, the shape and quality of my pedicure is lousy. They put about 6 layers of polish on my toes and it's thick and they are not shaped properly per my request. Which was simply to keep them square. Not a tall order. What a shame. This salon in Lincoln Park should be ashamed of itself. read more

I have had several bad experiences here. Two times, the techs made weird comments about me being tall (legs being too long for the pedicure chair or feet being big) which is wildly inappropriate. I gave it one more shot since I was desperate before an event. I had an appointment, they made me sit for 15 minutes without acknowledging me or letting me take a chair. The vibe was very much like "we're booked and busy we don't have to accommodate you." For how many nail places are in this area, I'd definitely not return. read more

This was my first time getting anything done to my nails at a salon ever. I went to Salon NB on a whim and they were extremely welcoming and nice. I had some inspo pics, but they could tell I didn't really know what I wanted (due to my lack of experience), and asked me questions to clarify. I felt like I was in good hands and that they wanted me to come out completely satisfied. They answered all my questions and curated the perfect experience I could ask for. My nails have never looked cuter and I would definitely come back again. read more

Salon NB is truly the best nail salon I have ever been to. All of the ladies are extremely courteous, talented, fun, and welcoming. I've never received anything but a stellar manicure/pedicure there. On top of that, the decor is modern and the salon is clean, which is important during a pandemic. Today, I received a fantastic no-chip manicure from Annie, but on top of that, my conversation with her was enjoyable, genuine, and gave me that happy social interaction that feels a bit more rare these days. I have recommended them to my friends and would like to do so on Yelp as well. Thank you ladies for all of your hard work, expert skills, and kindness. It's not surprising you have such a loyal client base! read more
