I've officially been coming to Nikki Nails for over a year and I'm so glad to have found them! Last…read moreyear I was looking for a place that did designs on no chip/gel nails as a lot of places don't always offer it because of the layers/heating for no chip. Nikki nails not only does it, but does it really well! I've mostly seen Jay the last year and I enjoy him a lot; I've also seen Kevin twice when Jay was on vacation/unavailable. The service for me is always great and the establishment is always clean. Since then, I've recommended my mom to Nikki Nails and she also sees Jay now too for her no chips. Would definitely recommend!

Ever since I moved closer to this area, I've been incredibly impressed with the quality of service…read moreand quick responses you get for these appts. They let you book your appt with Booksy, it's quick and easy. Being pregnant recently, the deluxe pedicure with Jay has been an especially rewarding treat for me! I love to bring my mama with as well. I like that they keep the chatter and small talk to a minimum because I talk all damn day as an RN at work, it's nice to have a quiet and peaceful environment. The deluxe pedicure includes a relaxing leg massage and a salt scrub for your feet that is very special! I like that they're polite here and staff has it quiet and serene in here. I think music could add a nicer touch though vs tv shows. I will be a regular customer, I love to work with the lady that does my manicure, she was patient and spent her time making sure I had the right colors for these cute ass Orange shade nails for my bday. I am very happy with my nails, I hope lots of others there can help with picking colors as the lady is very patient. She deserves five stars and so does my guy, Jay! Thank you Nikki Nails! Y'all are fire at your jobs.

I was disappointed…read more I just moved to Arlington Heights and needed to find a new nail salon. I came across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was easily able to make a same day appointment. When I arrived, no one was there and the shop was locked! I waited a few more minutes & called the shop and they said someone would be there soon. I'm guessing this place only has someone there if they have a scheduled appointment - however it definitely frustrated me that my nail tech was late. Once inside, I was impressed with the color selection and how nice and clean the salon was. The tech did a great job on my gel manicure and my pedicure. However, since I was the only one there she rushed me to leave and didn't check if my toes were dried- so by the time I got home all of the polish was smeared. I tried calling to schedule a time to get it fixed however never received a call back on the voicemail I left.

Today I got my 20th birthday nails done and she really took her time and made sure the shape was good.

I was looking for a place in Mt. Prospect that is close to me and cheap for a mani-pedi. This was…read morethe cheapest I could find within a 10 mile radius with a mani-pedi combo for $34 instead of $36-40 elsewhere. What I liked about this place is I could make a last minute (2 hr notice) appointment and it is open late. For some reason a ton of other local places are closed Monday's. I was only in town a few hours and needed a mani-pedi treatment badly as I was trying to grow out my nails and wanted them shaped properly. The owner has a ton of patience as you pick out colors and if you change your mind (like I do) with colors as you sit and look around. They also have a great selection of nail polish colors. The owner is very accommodating and friendly. She's fast at what she does, but does it to perfection because if you're unhappy with anything, she will fix it and if you don't like a color you picked she will redo it for you if she can. She will look at your facial expressions to see if you make any gave of concern or are looking at anything. I don't think nice ever had a manicurist ask me "anything wrong? Tell me :)". So I wanted another coat on and said it and she did it right away. She also helps you with everything from taking shoes off, opening zippers on your purse, moving things over so you don't get your nails ruined. This time I came straight from the airport and has a small suitcase, which she took to the car for me! Just very nice lady, overall. For the pedi, some of the other ladies don't speak much but they take they're time and do a good job. They also give you a foot massage and then when your pedi is done, a back massage as you let your feet dry. At some more expensive places, by have you chose a massage of foot scrub and you get it all here. Overall, I'm happy with my mani-pedi and the pricing and excited to have such an accommodating place close to home.

The owner is very nice and takes her time perfecting her work. Always a lovely experience!read more
