Aesha E.

I've found my new nail place. And actually, I didn't even realize I needed a new nail place. I'm in the process of trying to beautify and pamper myself in the days before I give birth, and getting a manicure and pedicure was on my list of desired treatments. I haven't had a mani pedi since at least October 2019, if not further back than that. They haven't been my #1 priority for pampering (that's a facial), but it do enjoy it. I learned about Dazzle Dry polish in the last year or so and have been curious to try it ever since, but it appears that there's only a few salons in the city that use it and so that's what led me to Spa Avenue. When I got there the woman who worked on me was ready to start immediately; it just took me a few minutes to choose my color. I suppose it was a fairly standard manicure/pedicure, but still I appreciated her attention to detail and she had a great touch--not too rough or anything. My hands and feet feel so nice and soft now. My hands had been really dry lately but they feel soft and supple a day later. Dazzle Dry is fantastic, so between that and the good service I experienced here that will keep me coming back. I usually don't get color on my fingernails when I get a pedicure, I just get them buffed because if they aren't chipped by the time I leave the salon, they are by the end of that same evening. Over 24 hours later, there's not a chip to be seen on my nails currently. It's supposed to last something like 7-10 days and I believe it. It's also great because unlike no-chip, it doesn't have to cure or anything and you can remove it with regular acetone nail polish remover I think. I didn't realize how excited I would be to be able to wear nail color on my fingernails again, or how much I love the look of it! I'm not kidding when I say I gave up on nail polish well over a decade ago and haven't worn it since, and now I can't wait to return and try other colors. I wish I had gotten the name of the nail tech who worked on me today because she was excellent and I'd love to request her specifically next time. But all the folks here seem to know what they're doing so I would expect to have a good experience with anyone.

Super friendly and polite staff! They were about 20 minutes behind on my appointment, but luckily I wasn't in a rush to do anything. The no chip selection is huge and organized. I got the OPI vampsterdam and loved the color for my no chip manicure. My no chip unfortunately chipped within the same week I got it done. I paid $35 plus tip overall.

By far the best nail salon in the city that I've been to. Efficient, attention to detail, kind.

This going to become my regular manicure spot. Their no chip gel service results in the longest lasting, best looking nails I have ever seen! And the ambiance is calm and quiet-/ I always feel serene after an hour there. Maybe it's the video fireplace? Probably it's the great music and placid, kind demeanor of the ladies doing the services. Steps off the red line, several choices for eating and drinking if you want to make an afternoon or evening out of it. Also easy to find free parking in the afternoon. So glad a Groupon led me to them!

Gotta see Gigi!

My go-to nail salon had closed for the day so I decided to give Spa Avenue a try and I'm so glad I did! The salon is under new management; I couldn't tell you what it was like before, but the digs are so clean and the atmosphere is relaxing. Gigi was responsible for my no-chip manicure and she DELIVERED! She was so meticulous and thorough, didn't rush the removal or application of my polish and was just so sweet in conversation. Grateful to have this spot pop up in the neighborhood!

I just moved into the neighborhood and found this salon on Yelp. I walked in for a regular manicure without an appointment mid-day Sunday and was seen immediately. The overall vibe is very relaxing, from the giant gold chairs to the spa music. I easily could have fallen asleep at the manicure chair! The color selection is decent -- not huge, but you could probably find any shade you're looking for. The woman doing my manicure was super charming and polite, offering me a drink and pulling out chairs for me to sit. She gave me a full hand massage in the middle of the manicure, and a shoulder/neck massage while I waited for my nails to dry. Overall, the place was so much more than just a manicure! It's a whole relaxing experience, which was perfect for a Sunday afternoon. The manicure was $15 plus tip. This is definitely my new go-to nail salon!

I mentioned that I was not looking at a overdone eye brow approach. I was shooting more for something simple but not overdone. This was my 1st time here and more than likely not my last.

The tinting was fine, but I have multiple cuts on one eyebrow from the threading and plucking (I've had my brows threaded for years and that's never happened before). My eyebrows were also uneven because I think she got scared after cutting my first eyebrow and went less thin. I would have addressed this in store, but the lighting was so bad I genuinely thought it looked okay (minus one cut I could see, which I laughed off because accidents happen). Was so disappointed when I got home and saw the damage (it was even uncomfortable to sleep on that side from how raw my skin was). Don't go here for threading, the lighting is bad (which I'm sure makes it hard for the people threading your eyebrows) and the chairs do not lean back (it was so uncomfortable and I've never had my eyebrows threaded at a place that doesn't have you lean back to give the threader a better look at your brows in the light without shadows).

After dropping materials on my face, she did not even bother to say goodbye or walk me out. I still tipped kindly but noticed that my eyebrows really hurt. When I went home, I had a large burn underneath my eyebrow. I immediately went back and asked to speak to a manager about the burn that was beginning to ooze under my eye. The lady at the front desk said she was the manager but did not know the protocol for if someone was burned besides to put a note in my client portal to not put me with Andrea again. She also said she would give me my money back however she technically could not give me a wax pass back so really there was no solution. At this point I asked what their burn protocol was and they said that they did not have one, and she tried putting a tester product that the general public uses on the open wound. I could not think of anything more unsafe for an open wound. I left asking the manager to contact me and she never did. Not only is this extremely unsafe, but I am beyond disappointed that a company does not have any protocol for burning someone's face/eyes. The lack of accountability is absolutely gross for this company and I understand why people are not continuing with European Wax Center. If it were me, I would go to the threading center two stores down.

I've been booking with Indira at different locations for the past 14 years. I've always booked one…read moreof 2 services (a partial highlight or full highlight with toner). I've always had ease booking and getting the same service and never had issues with the results I've gotten. The last 2 times, after booking the text service reached out which ended up being the owner in a very attacking tone. All of a sudden the what I wanted was going to take twice as long and cost twice as much. I highly recommend finding a salon with better owner customer service, with all of the options out there, don't be swindled by Tracey and her long texts to your phone demanding she knows what she's talking about for a salon you're a regular at while trying to double your service needs. Horrible communication and customer service from the top down which is sad to see given the stylists there don't have anything to do with the way they are conducting their client communication and scheduling.

I had such an amazing experience at Indira today! I've come here off and on over the past few…read moreyears, and I've always had a pleasant experience, but today's visit was truly five stars. I was able to book an appointment day of through the website which was super convenient. After checking in, I waited for maybe a minute or two before being introduced to my stylist, Gaetano. Right away he sat me down and started inspecting my hair (it was clear I hadn't been in for a trim in quite some time...busted!). He asked me what I was looking for and made suggestions for a cut and style. During the wash, he used a shampoo and conditioner that was particular to my hair needs. The head and neck massage was much needed and so good! Gaetano took time and care cutting my hair, and it was clear it's something he's passionate about. After a blow out, he even curled and styled it for me! The haircut was amazing, but chatting with Gaetano was the cherry on top. He's originally from Rome, and moved here for a better life for his children and family. We discussed our love for Italy and the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Throughout the haircut, he gave me tips and tricks that I can do to improve the quality of my hair. I normally book a haircut with whoever is available, but moving forward I'm definitely going to be seeing Gaetano! Grazie!

I thought she was just putting there as a courtesy and did not bother to ask thinking she would still honor it if just a few months late. Oh boy No. She declined the gift card when I went in Mar, only two months after the expiration date. My friend just basically gave her $30 and she took it without blinking. According to Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, Gift cards cannot expire for at least 5 years from purchase or last reload. Illinois even has stricter rule about it stating that retail gift cards generally cannot have an expiration date. If a card says it expires, that term is typically unenforceable in Illinois. I don't care how often you need to go threading your eyebrows, but 3-month expiration period for gift cards is illegal. I will be filing a complaint with Illinois Attorney General's Office Update: your terms and conditions on the gift card are ILLEGAL. I was not rude to your staff. You did not want to provide me the service so you asked your assistant to do my eyebrows to get me out of the door. I did not want to waste my friend's money so I accepted and tipped her well. The gift card is good for two services and you took it and said that's it. If I'd known this is illegal, I would have kept the gift card as evidence and refused your service.
