I got a really long lasting gel manicure here for a really reasonable price! I felt super pampered with all their foot scrub options.

Even with the craziness of the Covid 19 pandemic, this place is still providing great services for customers. They are taking proper social distancing measures and everyone is wearing masks and some employees are wearing shields in addition to masks. Manicure stations have a clear shield between the customer and technician. I love getting my pedicures and eyebrows waxed here. read more

My go to nail salon, all of the techs are consistently good and help me pick colors when I can't decide. Love that they have Netflix playing all the time. read more

Every technician at this location has been kind, informative, professional. Their mannerisms remind me of being at an elite restaurant or dinner party--the guests are usually the noisier of the bunch. I go with my little one (10yr) and she has enjoyed it as well. This is my go-to spot for no chip mani and pedi. Highly recommend. Don't forget to tip your technician! read more

Honestly great experience --nail techs are very patient and thorough with their work, which has become harder to find *cough* another popular nail salon in the area has been a little lazy and even a little disrespectful with certain shortcuts for the same price or more...which I'm glad they did because this place blew them out of the water! You can tell they care a lot and will go above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience. read more

Well I just sat down less than 25 minutes ago and I'm already done with my pedicure. I hate when I come to treat myself to something nice, and you don't get what you paid for. Literally fastest pedicure ever and I've had one hell of a week. I expected a lot more. I don't think it's fair to pay $40+ for a twenty minute service. I typically go to another salon but my nail tech is taking some time off after suffering an injury. So I come to Spa Dabin, the next best thing I thought. I typically see Brian who does okay. I didn't make an appointment today, but the salon wasn't busy regardless. My usually nail technician takes 40-50 minutes on my pedicure- so I'm not impressed. :( read more

If I could give this place a zero I would because when I went in they didn't ask me what service I wanted and than to top it off they charge $50 to paint my nails and they don't do fake nails.They looked at me all weird when I didn't want to tip and I left a review on Google but I guess they deleted it.. As you can see in the picture below and if you check Google the last "review" is from 3 months ago which is b.s. read more

Just ok. The person who did my mani/pedi was not good. First the water to soak my feet was boiling hot and she was annoyed at having to cool it off. Then when she was working on the cuticles she jabbed aggressively and when I told her to be more gentle, that she was hurting me, she was dismissive. She is in the wrong line of work. I definitely did not feel pampered or taken care of. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is the pedicure did last well. read more

I love getting getting my nails done here. Today I took my daughter with me for her mani pedi, celebrating her 6th birthday! The staff was so sweet! She had the best experience, they took their time and made sure she was comfortable. Highly recommend!!! read more

Parking: generally there is free street parking available. Also easily accessible by CTA. Availability: I've always been able to easily get last min appointments as a walk in. They always have plenty of staff on site regardless of the time of day or day of the week. Price: reasonable in my opinion, but not cheap. I pay with credit card, **BRING CASH TO TIP** Time: Manicures and pedicures will take a bit longer then other salons but the service is always done well. Not an ideal place to go if you need a rush job. Perfect if you are looking to relax. Services: This is my go to place for manicures and pedicures. I typically get no chips. The no chip has chipped after a week when I was moving or doing lots of work with my hands. On such occasions they redid it at no charge. Bonus: They often offer new services, nail colors, back rubs as your nails dry which is always lovely. Supportive Community Members: They are a business that has donated to local non profits I've been collecting raffle & silent auction items for :) Thanks again for the generosity. Waxing: This is the only negative. Quality depends on what tech you get. This is not an ideal place for waxing. I've gotten eyebrows a legs. Eyebrows I've had break outs after. I got a leg waxing that resulted in bruising because of poor technique, and it was much more painful then other places I've been with professional/full time esthatitions. read more

I'm new the the neighborhood and looking for a new nail salon. Saw this place had great reviews so stopped in today for the works: pedi, no-chip mani and eyebrow and lip waxing. I'm headed out on vacation and wanted to look great. Granted, I don't have a repeat experience to share - hoping this is isolated. But I definitely won't be back. My eyebrows and lip looked amazing. No complaints there but my mani / pedi experience was a totally different story. I must have caught my nail technician on a bad day, at least that's what I hope. I have multiple bleeding fingers and toes after I repeatedly asked him to take it easy on my cuticles as they are tender. He was far to rough on my hands and feet. I had to ask him to disinfect the cuts, he wanted to pretend like it didn't happen. While buffing my nails he ran a brand new file over my skin and pushed so hard it ripped a gash in my nail bed. Now my mani has a big scar right next to it. I didn't realize till I got home that he didn't soak my hands to soften my cuticles. I'll stick with the waxing and move on to another place for nails. I spent 80 bucks - spent less than that for more at other places. read more

Great spa style mani pedi which is priced reasonably. Very clean and on most days can accommodate a walk in.

I have been going to this salon for years. I have loved it, until recently. It is very clean and up to 4 months ago I would have said the staff is friendly and the service great. Unfortunately, my last three no chips all chipped within 1-3 days. Had to go back for repairs. Staff not friendly like my previous experiences especially when I got the repair done. So dissatisfied I have changed salons. read more

I paid more here for inferior service than my regular place across the street. They rushed me to pic a color and couldn't match the no chip color with regular for my feet. Pedicure was really quick and they didn't scrub the bottom of my feet/toes. The pedicure station was super uncomfortable as it was just a bench and not a pedicure chair. I'm shorter and my feet didn't really reach. The manicure didn't last even close to 2 weeks. There's no reason to come here when Salon Chic is down the street. read more

Really more like 2.5 but I rounded up. My pedicure looks good and that is the only thing I can say. The whole thing was done in under 15 minutes. My nail technician brought her bag with her when she walked me to the dryer and clearly was ready to go, but that's not on me... They have no massage chairs or bubbles in their food tubs- they're literally just sinks . I get pedicures probably 3x a year. This is not a place I'd come back to. read more

My regular manicure (not a no chip) is still intact after six days wherein I have washed dishes, taken baths, done extensive apartment cleaning, and many other rigorous mammal hand-based activities. I'm in shock and awe. I'm never going anywhere else. Kathy is also really good at eyebrows, bro. read more

I've visited Spa O many times and I always like that they're friendly and the spa is clean. Great color selection and a nice chairs. During your manicure, you get a nice warm neck pillow that adds to the relaxation factor and nice warm hand warmers. Great pricing, nice staff and great that they have a lot of space so that it's usually easy enough to get an appointment. They could use a few more drying areas, but overall, great spot! read more

One of the best gel manicures (and brow waxes) I've ever had! Here are my favorite aspects of this salon: -super friendly staff -high quality products/services -beautifully relaxing interior -LOVED the silent movie playing -great music choice -waxing room was nice -very clean -the salon offers two week guarantee on no-chip! Can't beat that! -hot towels -neck massage during manicure I will definitely be back! This was the perfect fall day activity in Logan square. read more

LOVE when my manicure lasts more than a week. I always hesitate trying places new to me because I'm scared of wasting money. I did my Yelp research and found that previous Yelpers were right: manicures from Spa O DO last a long time. My manicure really held up to some serious testing. It withstood an intense home improvement bathroom project involving lots of water, tile, and grout. It also withstood the normal daily tasks like dishwashing (without gloves) and dog-walking. I also teach many sweaty yoga classes that usually do a number on any manicures I get. My Spa O manicure really held up to all of these tests. Had I lived a "normal" week, my manicure probably would have lasted longer!!! I'm ecstatic at the quality of work I have received. The owner is very amiable and approachable. In speaking with him, he mentioned that Spa O just opened earlier this year (2011). In the time that they have been opened it seems that they have worked out the kinks as the place looks great! In my first visit to Spa O, I had a manicure, pedicure, and eyebrow waxing. The space is very beautiful and modern. The movie "Little Fockers" was playing in the background as I was getting my nails done. The waxing area is behind a luxurious curtain in a nicely decorated little nook of the space. I really didn't mind this as I was only getting my eyebrows done. The whole spa space creates a feeling of relaxation even in the neighborhood atmosphere. Kudos to the interior decorator. My only complaint is that services take a long time. I was a walk-in appointment just before noon on a weekday. I realize many places cope with rush hour differently, but I wasn't expecting to be there more than an hour. My total time there was an hour and half, which isn't too bad, but nice to know if you were planning on visiting. Next time I do go to Spa O, I will have a more flexible schedule or clear out the rest of my day. I do enjoy the quality they put into their work so I wouldn't want them to sacrifice quality for speed of service if it came down to it. They DO take appointments as well, so I might take that route too to minimize my wait time, just in case. As other Yelpers have mentioned, they have a loyalty rewards program. They keep track of how often you visit in their system. No need to worry about punchcards or scantags. After a certain number of visits, you can accumulate points/$ to apply to future services. Nice perk especially if you plan to visit often. Thanks Spa O, I'll be visiting again, when I have more time! read more

I absolutely love this salon! Everyone that works there is incredibly kind, friendly, and gracious. They have tons of polish colors to choose from. The value of the service is unmatched. On recent visits I got a free tube of really nice lotion and an essential oil foot massage when all I requested was just a basic pedicure. They also have a bathroom. And they always have fun movies playing, better "programming" than most nail salons. Overall the vibe is light, fun, professional, and positive, and they always do a great job. read more

Pretty clean, no wait with appointment, and I was able to book a last-minute appointment. I was in the neighborhood and decided to get a no-chip manicure before New Year's Eve. I'd never gone to a nail salon in the area, so I chose this one based on previous Yelp reviews. Unlike other reviewers, I found the color selection to be adequate. They also use a polish shaker machine for every customer to make sure the polish is well-blended. My nail tech wasn't overly zealous when removing my previous no-chip or cleaning up my cuticles. Unfortunately, it's a 3 star experience for the price and the amount of time it took. The nail tech was very attentive and thorough, but even with two no-chip lights (one per hand), the appointment took over an hour. At my normal spot, I get the same attention to detail in 45 min. Also, the no-chip was $40, which is overpriced. Considering I wasn't blown away by the facility and there weren't really any extras, it's not worth it. Every other place I've gone to in Chicago does no-chip for $35. They also cut and filed my nails noticeably shorter on my right hand and my ring finger on my left hand. It's probably only noticeable to me, but it's still annoying since she already had cut them too short to begin with. Can't fault her for that since I didn't notice until it was too late. If I'm in the area again, I might try another spot or just wait until I'm closer to home and go to my normal place. read more

Overpriced for the quality of the services. The woman filing down my no chip for removal was so rough she cut into my skin on two fingers. Very small, but enough to burn and hurt throughout the rest of the manicure. The bottom of my feet look like they didn't even exfoliate. I paid $70 and didn't get the dead skin and blister remnants off. I'm so embarrassed my feet still look like this. The place looks cute, but no massage chairs. Decent color selection. If you're 5 min late they'll call you to make sure you're still coming, even if they're not busy. Very short shoulder massage. I won't be back. It's unfortunate because it's a great location. read more

Came here the other day with a friend. She had an appointment, but they moved things around for me to tag along! Thanks guys my toes realllly needed it! We both got a pedicure. I will start with the service. Very thorough and friendly service. They did not rush through the service and they were not overly rough when doing it. I have very sensitive toe nails and it was relieving to be able to sit back and enjoy the pedicure, rather be on edge because they were being too rough with my toes. The shop is small, but very accommodating. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and very relaxing. read more

I'll make this easy and break it down by the positives and negatives: Positives: +they accept walk-ins +tons of current magazines +prices are reasonable; they have a loyalty program +front desk staff was nice +comfortable, relaxing atmosphere +they played decent music (read: no Enya) +very convenient to my part-time love nest +open Sundays Negatives: -the color selection was somewhat lacking - they had a ton of reds, but were woefully lacking in spring colors like corals and pinks -their dryers were wonky and uncooperative -no tips on credit cards -the pedicure took forever. While I appreciate the effort, it's only been four weeks since my last one and my tootsies didn't need that much work -the back and neck massage hurt (I fully realize this could just be me as I don't like massages at all) I'm sure I'll be back again, but for now, I'm going with 3.5 stars. read more

Clean, relaxing and a very enjoyable experience. I came here for the first time to get a no-chip manicure and I've been back three times since. I'm one happy camper! Spa O is cozy, warm and inviting. Service is friendly and appointments are easy to come by, so there's very little waiting. I love the pedicure area, by the way. The chairs are cozy and I love the color scheme. The pedicure was done really well and I got to take home the pumice stone after the pedi since they open all of them for each pedicure when you get it. Awesome! Since I'm a weirdo about my feet, I like that I don't have to share any of those utensils with anyone else. I'll definitely be coming back here, especially since it's in Logan Square. read more

Definitely one of the worse no chip experiences I've ever had in the past three years of getting this type of service. I was a first time visitor and didn't necessarily get a warm welcome. They don't have the nail colors available in swatches like every other salon in the city so you have to play the guessing game or test it on your actual nail. The tech didn't soak my nails and attempted to cut my cuticles dry...completely insane. It was at least an hour or more before closing but she was rushing and wasn't allowing the full time for the UV light. Once home and in different light I'm not happy with the coverage or the color for that matter. FAIL! Oh and why do they have that many security cameras? This is not a bank! read more

Fantastic! Logan Square is a nail salon wasteland no more!! The older nail salons in the Square (well the two that I've found) are essentially old, dingy, slightly dirty... essentially they exist because there's no competition in the area and if you were desperate for a manicure or eyebrow wax and didn't want to leave the neighborhood (because you hadn't waxed in a loooong time and have a unibrow), you had no other options. Spa O is the diametric opposite - the decor is trendy with bright/warm colors, comfy chairs and most importantly, it's really CLEAN! I had a fantastic and thorough mani/pedi for $32 (promotional opening deal), which included a calf massage and shoulder massage. Ah yeah! The service was awesome. The staff hung my coat and brought it to me as I left. They wrapped my feet with saran wrap so I could put my boots back on and brave the Chicago cold. They also offer other spa services... massages, waxing; and they are available for spa parties. I am soooo glad Spa O came to the neighborhood... I won't have to make trips to Wicker Park and Lincoln Park for a decent nail salon anymore! I would recommend an appointment if you have the time to plan ahead; the place was already pretty crowded on a Thursday evening. read more

I've had my nails done here twice. I will discuss both occasions. 1. Mani/pedi for my wedding. Some might think me crazy for going to an untested (by me) salon for my wedding nailz, and yet... My main criteria for my wedding nails is that I wanted Cajun Shrimp in a no-chip: they have that color here! Yay! So: the pedi was great, no complaints, pretty standard. This was my second no-chip mani of ever, so I only have one other data point of comparison, but DUDE it was awesome. I didn't come back to have it removed until after my honeymoon which was 2.5 weeks. Ipso facto, the manicure DID NOT CHIP for THREE WHOLE WEEKS. Of course I had crazy grown out red nails, but srsly I was impressed. Also, when they removed the polish, my nails were in fabulous shape underneath. The other no-chip I'd had destroyed my nails. This one did not. They know what they are doing here, in short. 2. Pedi while soaking off the aforementioned no-chip mani. Fine, standard. One thing that I noticed is that (most likely due to the location) you pretty much have to have an appointment to come here. I had an appointment for both times. I witnessed a bunch of ladies walking in asking if there was availability, and they don't seem to take walk-ins. Makes sense, there probably is little foot-traffic when not a weekend, so they just don't schedule manicurists for a ton of shifts during the week. Executive summary: GET THE NO CHIP ITS GREAT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT read more

After spending 20 amazing days in the warmth of the Buenos Aires sun I wasn't too excited to return to freeze town Chicago. What made me ease back into it, was getting a mani/pedi at the new nail spa in Logan Square, Spa O. Perfect location, right next to one of my fav coffee jaunts, New Wave. Spa O is running a 20% off deal for their grand opening, so of course I couldn't pass it up and invited a friend to join!! The space is clean, comfortable and pleasing to the eye with hues of purple and turquoise. Instead of the typical massage chairs, they have big, plush seats where you sit to get a pedicure. The staff is friendly and great at what they do, from shaping the nail, cuticle trimming, scrubbing, massaging, and meticulous when applying the polish. They have a good selection of OPI polish and ESSE's latest colors. I chose a cool, spring green color, "Don't Mess with OPI" from their new Texas collection. Love it! I walked out feeling a bit better about winter. So glad Spa O is in my neck of the woods! read more

SPA O HAS A CONSISTENCY PROBLEM. I HOPE MANAGEMENT READS YELP. I've been twice in the last 6 weeks. I had one appointment that was solid and the reason why I went back, and the reason it gets 2 stars and not 1. For my 2nd visit I went in for a walk-in appointment and HAD THE JOY OF BEING CUT NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE BUT THREE TIMES during my mani-pedi. The technician LEFT POLISH ON MY TOES AND FINGERS. WEIRDER - She didn't clean underneath my fingernails and after all the butchery still left my cuticles looking unkempt. Also-- there were toe-nail shavings all over the floor by the foot basins which was really gross. It wasn't like they were slammed and had no time to clean. read more

Just got the worst pedicure of my life. My feet were in bad shape, nails were overgrown.. You'd think that'd give her a lot to work with. She cut my nails WAY too short.. So now I have man looking feet, great. On top if that she filed every single nail SO crooked, applied polish way too thick and too close to my cuticles. How do you suck at every single step? Also I felt like she was scraping at my cuticles instead if nipping them cleanly... Which means ill have dry ashy looking cuticles as soon as the cuticle oil wears off. Going on vacation tonight for 3 weeks and my toenails grow slow.. Thanks for guaranteeing I have hideous feet the first chance I got this horrible winter to finally wear sandals and flip flops. Ugh. Edit*** 3 hours later a huge chunk of my polish on my big toe just scraped off. Again.. She applied the polish too thick. I sat in their dryer for at least 20 minutes while I waited for my friend to finish her manicure. WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. read more

Amazing. So excited for this much-needed addition to Logan Square. Spa O left me feeling relaxed thanks to their tranquil atmosphere and excellent customer service. My manicure still looks great and it has been a week! Some perks to Spa O that everyone should know about: -Beautiful decor, upscale feel, but manicure is still just $15 -While your arms are being massaged you receive a high-quality back and shoulder massage that is at least 4 minutes long!!! -Chick-flick movies playing on the TVs :) -Love this part...they reward you for coming in, but unlike the rest of the nail salons I've been to, Spa O keeps track for you on their computer system, so no more annoying punch cards! You will not be disappointed here, this is my new weekly spot! Entrance is off the Logan Blvd. side, you can park there or on Milwaukee Ave. A tip on tips: must be in cash. read more

There are a lot of options in Logan Square within walking distance (I've tried them all) - SPA DABIN is the only one worth the time and money. Friendly staff, good service and no-chips that last. I've recently gotten a regular manicure (not no-chip) and the polish stayed on for over a week, which I haven't experienced in a long time. The pedicure booths are comfortable and relaxing. It feels more like a spa than a walk-in. They also let you Venmo a tip if you don't have cash. Great place. read more

By far one of the best pedi's ever!! First great thing was my girl helped me pick out a color and that is something that hasn't ever happened to me. I must had was a nice change. I was able to pick green tea or baking soda too add to the pedi, witch is something that I never had before plus there are 3 different foot scrubs that you are also able to add on. Both items come with the pedi. No extra charge!! As of my nail tech. super nice and great with her hands! Both my foot rub and back rub were perfect. I can't wait to go back for my next pedi. Huge thank you to Spa O read more

Surprised by good reviews. Went with a friend and we sat next to each other on a bench with pillows with our feet in the spa tub. No massage chair and if you are short like me, you will have to scoot forward and sit up so that your feet can be in the water. I swear that the two technicians were in a race to see who could finish first. It was close, but mine won! Her secret? Only pumice each foot for 10 seconds and quickly go through the moves on the cuticles but don't really trim them. Essentially I paid for a pedicure but got a polish change and a stiff back. The no-chip mani looks like it will stay, but every nail is shaped differently and going in different direction. Seriously, my thumb is hilarious. Bottom line, if you are over 5'3" and completely pumice your feet and trim your cuticles before or after you go in you should be okay. Oh and you should be okay with paying $60 plus tips for essentially a polish change - basic on the toes and no chip on the fingers. Not a fan. read more

I've been here several times for pedicures and no-chip manis. I've had mixed experiences everytime I go. There are some technicians there that are REALLY good and some there are so-so. Some rush to get the job done and move on to the next customer while others take their time, pay attention to detail and really make sure you are happy with the result. They provide a 2-week guarentee for their no-chip. I must say that 8 out of 10 times my no-chip mani will chip on at least 2 or 3 nails before the 2 weeks it is up. I just dont have time to go back and have them fix it before my next appointment anyway. Another nice value-add is the technicians usually give you a back rub while your nails are drying which is always nice. I really like this place and continue to go back; however, I may start requesting specific nail technicians over other ones. read more

It is a hit or miss indeed. As much as I want to love it the time span allotted for a Pedi for example has been dwindling down over the past year-plus since I have been coming here. Why do I still honor this place - You ask? Because it is a walking distance from my fine dwelling indeed. Front desk staff - always a dream; even remember my name, which is rare in this world with a name like mine. The massage has been significantly shortened. The quality has gone down. Spa O - please shape up or off I will go. read more

I'm so glad this place is in the 'hood. Now I don't have to make a trek to Wicker Park to get a good manicure! Reasonably priced, super clean, very cute place. But be aware that they don't do tipping on credit cards. read more

I really love this nail place/spa!! Great addition to the neighborhood, especially since the selection for nicer upscale feeling places are pretty sparse in Logan Square. Great location, I can see it from my apartment!! I made my second visit today to get a manicure, was going to just do a basic but decided to do their Spa O Manicure for $25, they are running a special where if you purchase any "Spa O package", you get a free paraffin wax treatment. Definitely won me on that! Tony was my manicurist and he was excellent. He really made me feel comfortable and relaxed. (exactly what I needed with this crappy weather lately) Got a great arm/hand massage, nice wax treatment and while I was waiting a nice and much needed shoulder massage. Took his time making sure my nail polish was perfect. Definitely the best manicure I think I have ever had! I am so glad to have a nice place like this I can stop by whenever I need a pick me up!! I will definitely be a regular here!! read more
