Pleasantly surprised by this one. I had an hour to kill and was in need of a regular manicure. I was able to find this location tucked in a corner off of Skokie blvd. It's very low-key and easy to miss. I will say there are no signs anywhere for pricing but figured it wouldn't be too over the top. They were able to squeeze me in and were very pleasant. 15.00 for a regular manicure with a massage and hot towel to the hands (some places will give you a small neck/back massage) For the time span I had with no appointment and how willing they were to accommodate myself and the rest of the guests that walked in, I took notice to the well-staffed and well managed salon. Susan was helpful and noticed I messed up my nails while drying. I told her id be fine and hate to bother her but she gladly redid them for me ; so sweet! read more

I had a regular pedicure and the massage was wonderful and quite long. The atmosphere in the salon was very comfortable. I will be back.

Best nail salon I've been to in the area! The service was outstanding, they were able to take me in last minute, and they were all so kind throughout the entire session! Ari did such an amazing job on my nails, I told her I wanted to keep it natural looking and that's exactly what she did. I love that their salon is mindful to avoid harsh chemicals in their products too. The entire salon was so clean, sanitary, bright, and welcoming. They offer all their customers a beverage, and provide exceptional service from when you walk in, all the way to when you're walking out the door. They have a new regular! read more

Great service. They do a great job! Highly recommend. Came at last minute and they were very accommodating. They try to make anything work.

I won't be coming again. It took for ever and the lady doing my nails blamed me for them not being dry enough and said it was because of how I put my hand in the machine and charged me $4 more. I think she should own her mistakes. I also got gel polish cured on my skin. I honestly just wanted to leave and did not feel like complaining. I can honestly do a better job. read more

You MUST bring your hands and feet here. Comfortable, bright surroundings. Talented and attentive technicians. Friendly and accommodating service. It's like visiting family....I've been coming for years and won't go anywhere else. I came back a day after a pedicure with a chip on my big toe (my fault for being careless), fully intending to sneak in, find my color, and plop on a touch-up by myself. Nope....I was treated to a professional big-toe re-do and top-coat with a smile and a thank you. They go above and. beyond. read more

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago to try out a new salon and I am super satisfied! The employees were kind and caring from when I first walked in and made me feel comfortable. Ruth did a no chip manicure on my hands which has lasted me for 3 weeks. I also did a pedicure which was also great; super relaxing and the lady who did my pedicure was gentle and efficient. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Recently moved to the area and have been looking for a new go-to for my mani-pedi. I'm usually really picky about my nail techs even though I'm very simple but immediately felt really great at Spa Nail City. You're instantly greeted and offered something to drink, while you pick out your color. The place is always clean and you can tell the people there actually care about you. CBD Spa Pedis are the way to go if you like pampering your feet! read more

This is my go to! I moved to Wilmette last year from the city and tried many nail places to be "my place". This is my winner. Ruth is a wonderful human and creates a welcoming space. My daughter and I love it here. They are always happy to see us and treat us like friends. My biggest problem is that they are sometimes hard to get an appointment because everyone has realized how awesome they are! But I do find my appointments and am always happy when I leave there! read more

Spa Nail City in Wilmette is the best! All of the manicurists do a FANTASTIC job, and Ruth, the owner- is hands down the best! her shop is clean, inviting, updated.

Spa Nail City - Russian Navy and Let's Be Friends - Nail Salons Near Me - Wilmette, Illinois

UPDATE: almost 2 months and no peeling or sides lifting up! WOW. Heidi is a true artist. I couldn't be more happy with the level of talent, detail, and service from her. Also the staff was friendly. The elderly lady next to me and her nail technician were having a great ole time. I was in town for the weekend and needed to get my nails done for a wedding. I ended up getting a mani, pedi, and eyelash extensions from her. She is so meticulous and took the extra time on my nails and my lashes. MY LASHES. She really killed it. My mom said I looked like a new woman leaving the salon. I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not... anywho... For my mani, I found a picture on Pinterest that I wanted replicated and I LOVE how it turned out. They also had Parafin wax (had to google what it was because I had never experienced this before at other salons) included and now my heels feel smoooooth. I'm on my feet for 12+ hours for work so I have really busted feet. Visit Heidi you will not be disappointed. I wish I lived in Chicago but will make a visit if I'm ever in the area. Not pictured: feet. Self conscious about them. read more

Went to spa nails for the first time. I had an appointment but also wanted to get my 5 year old granddaughters nails done. The ladies were very accommodating and prices were reasonable. I was looking for a particular color and she was able to help me get exactly what I wanted. Good service, clean and sterile. I would definitely back.. read more

This is such a calm and relaxing environment and amazing and kind staff! They don't use drills and chemicals and take so much care in making your manicure perfect. read more

I was looking for gel nail place when I was visiting Chicago (I am from LA) and I found Spa nail through yelp while I was staying near that area. I got gel nails & pedicure(no need to mention, pedie chair was very comfortable and massage chair was the BEST!!) I totally love with Hidie !! I asked her some gel design whatever she think it would be the best for me and she gave me very cute one matching with my outfit of that day . I was not expecting too much it seemed like it was quite hard to find good gel design nail spot in chicago , but I was so happy with my nails when I left ,)) I defiantly recommend Hidie if you are looking for good gel design nails read more

Hands down the best pedicure I've ever had! Nara is a miracle worker -- my feet hadn't seen a pedicure in 4 months and she turned them right around. The salon is clean and bright, everyone is friendly, professional, and helpful. The price for a spa pedicure is unbeatable I have paid double for not even close to as great of a pedicure as I received here. 5/5 for clean up, callus removal 5/5 products used 5/5 for polish 5/5 for kindness 5/5 for massage!!! The massage included in the spa pedicure was so relaxing, great pressure, and just what I wanted. It was so good I added on a 20 min massage to todays appointment. This is the only salon I'll be coming for my nails and toes or when I need a quick massage. Do yourself a favor and book it!!! Other pros: - You can book on the Vagaro app - lots of availability - on time every time I've arrived, no waiting when you have an appointment read more

I have been going to Spa Nail City for several years and it was always a good and dependable manicure/pedicure experience. Now, that it has new owners, it has evolved into a lovely looking day spa with some wonderful new services available. I have started to get dip powder manicures with Heidi that are amazing. They will easily stay on for three weeks before I need to have a new manicure. I love the pedicures which are relaxing and the polish stays on for many weeks. Next, I will try one of their new spa pedicures. Everyone is kind and professional and the time I spend there is relaxing. Love it! read more

Such a cute space, clean and everyone is so friendly. My mom & I come on mother daughter dates and we always come to see Ruth. She is amazing at pedis, takes her time and makes sure it's perfect. Definitely will be back! read more

Amazing service very nice people !!! Been coming here for years never dissatisfied !!! Prefect results

Wonderful nail salon! Nara is amazing!

While the manicure itself was adequate, it was beyond frustrating to make an appointment, which is then ignored because the Walk Ins are taken ahead of you. read more

Spa Nail City was completely renovated and the owner, Ruth and her husband have made Spa Nail City the best place for a mani pedi in Wilmette and the surrounding area. My nails hve never looked so good and the no chip truly lasts 2+ weeks. They offer complimentary bottled water and Lacroix which is a nice touch. Today while my no chip was soaking, I asked for a chair massage which was accommodated right away even though the salon was busy. Friendly staff, great service. read more

You walk in and the lady at the front desk barely greets you. No smile or eye contact. Ok that's fine, bad day I get it. Pick out my no-chip color and matching regular chip pedi color.. hmm the colors have the same name but don't look the same in the bottle. Strange, maybe it changes under the light machine. A rushed pedi takes place. Mani is completed by a kind technician, that's good. I look around and notice how dusty the entire place is, the furniture is falling apart. No music, no tv, just mindless observations taking place. I pay and leave and notice how the two colors are COMPLETELY different, kind of wish someone would have noticed and advised me. Get to my car to see that polish is on my cuticles and several nails are slanted, bummer. I go on vacation the next day and the day after two nails begin chipping BAD. I get home (it's been 5 days now) and I can literally peel them off myself. These usually last me 3 weeks. I go back in, they fix the 2 nails, but the colors are now off from the other nails. I give up. FYI - the salon across the street is the polar opposite of this place. So clean and friendly. No-chips last weeks. Check it out. The end. read more

I loved this place. I would come back again. The lady(Linda) who took care of me was very sweet. read more

I had Amy for a no chip manicure today. She did an excellent job and event accommodated my request for five different colors. Very meticulous, careful, and kind.

This place is THE.BEST. Ruth and her staff are all A+! The color selection is amazing (including Luxio gel polish that lasts so long and has kept my natural nails healthy) I'm obsessed & wont go anywhere else now! The online booking is also great!! read more

My no-chip starting peeling after 3 days. So they told me to come back. The lady told me the manicure didn't last because of my nails. She refused to accept responsibility for her work. Now the second time around the no-chip has started peeling again after 3 says. The problem is she doesn't let the nails dry long enough in between coats. The manicure took 30min. Do yourself a favor and go someplace that isn't rushing to get you out. What a waste! read more

Not happy with results. The manicurist worked so fast that my feet just don't feel as if they received the attention I usually get from my regular manicurist at Heavenly Massage. My nails on my hands are already chipping after one day. So disappointed at the sloppy job!! Speed seems to be the operative word not good workmanship. I will not return. read more

Such a cute nail salon! They've recently renovated and the space is so modern and clean. They have a great selection of polish colors, extremely reasonable prices, and the staff is so friendly! Also, great location and lots of parking. Ruth is the BEST! My nails have never been healthier or stronger, they always look amazing, and my gel manicures always last a full 3 weeks! read more

I stumbled upon this place months ago when I was in desperate need of a manicure and my usual nail place couldn't get me in. I was very impressed with how lovely and inviting the staff was, and loved my nails. I've been frequenting this boutique now for three months now, and it recently switched over to new management. I cannot say enough great things about the new management. The salon received a new face lift and is so inviting and bright. You are always greeted with a warm smile and offered a beverage. All the technicians are so talented and take their time to attend to you. My nails have been the healthiest they've ever been in years. I highly recommend spa nail city! I cannot wait for spa pedicures to be offered on the menu! read more
