I'm in terrible pain 24 hrs after my pedicure. Like other reviews, the technician "cut out my ingrown toenail" without asking me. I've never had anything like this done to me in any other pedicure. Essentially cutting the side of my nail to create a hangnail and pulling/ripping it down to the root. It was incredibly painful. She said most people scream when she does it and sometimes bleed. But she didn't sterilize my toe or the tools before doing this or ask if I wanted it. The pain wasn't that noticeable after the initial pain of her ripping part of my nail root off but has gotten worse and worse over the last day. I get if someone wants this done, but I went to get a relaxing first post COVID pedicure and instead have two throbbing big toes, wounds to treat/clean to avoid infection, and sharp pain even when I'm not on my feet. Not to mention the worry of how it's going to grow out and potentially cause a more serious issue. Even if this hadn't happened the pedicure was no frills, super basic. read more

It's great! super nice staff and the place feels very cozy. And by cozy I don't mean a nice word for small. I mean it feels super comfortable and like you're getting your nails done in your best friends living room. Except extremely hygienic living room. so best of both worlds. The only reason I give it a 4 was I came in looking online and having a price in mind for a mani pedi and ended up paying more after accidentally getting a no chip. That could have been on me for not clarifying what type of mani pedi I wanted. And honestly the no chip was the way to go anyway. read more

Best nail experience I've had in a long time. Quality. Pleasant. Relaxing. Character. Thanks for taking good care of my nails today! read more

I hate to right a negative review. The ladies here are very sweet and the store is cute, but the pedicure was awful. It was over before it started. Calluses we're not scrubbed... total 20mn. Disappointing since this is my first one in a year. Wish I would have read to reviews first. read more

Great ambiance and service! Julie did an amazing job. I have difficult ingrown toenails and she worked them perfectly.

So I'm not a pedicure expert and only get one or two a year. That being said it's been about 5 hours post pedi and my big toes are hurting and don't look that great. Will try to attach photos Without boring you with all the details I will say the customer experience was less then satisfactory. $30 for an unpleasant 15 minutes. No thank you.. four other nail places in the hood will b taking my business elsewhere read more

Great nail salon with a large color selection. Staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome. Pricing is no doubt the best in the Roscoe Village area! It's usually easy to get an appointment as well. Sunday's is the only day they don't take appointments- it's walk-ins only! read more

Had my nails done yesterday and love them! I'm usually really nervous when they work on the cuticles because I've been cut in the past but I didn't even feel it. Loved it so much that I already set up my next appointment In regards to covid as I know a lot of people wonder, they were very safe and had a lot of precautions in place. Had me sanitize when I walked in, door open to the outside, masks and a plexiglass between us. read more

I LOVE nail loft. Tu, Karen, jasmine and Venus are all amazing!!! They do an incredible job and they make you feel so welcomed. This is the only nail salon I will ever go to! read more

Umi is amazing. I came in trying to fix some previous nails from a different salon & she offered me two options. I ended up doing the hard gel & it was so worth it. She's super gentle with you & overall just friendly. Definitely would recommend! read more

We went in a Tuesday and by Sunday one mail cracked and 3 nails started to peel off. I've never had that with a gel before. Will not be returning. read more

The Nail Loft - 5 days after my gel manicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went in last mintue to get my wedding nails done and sat with Donna. She was incredibly helpful and stayed late to get them done. The nails came out perfect and are incredibly comfortable. I'd highly recommend then! One of the best nail experiences I've had in a long time.​ read more

"Would not recommend" is the best way to summarize my visit yesterday. They don't take reservations on Sundays...okay. I went in with my boyfriend. Seating was limited as we waited. Once seated for our pedicures, he received a wonder nail tech that provided detailed service and had maintained good conversation...which makes my experience even worse having to watch his as my nail tech working on my pedicure proceeded to: Critique my toe nail shape and shame me for having slightly ingrown toe nails Rush through the process Skip steps Give me a mini lecture at the end about taking care of ingrown toe nails (as though I haven't been dealing with this for the last 26 years) Rude. So rude. And the pedicure wasn't even good. She literally carved out the sides of my big toe nail which is bound to cause infection when growing back in and didn't round out the edges so I'm sure it will chip within days. I left frustrated and embarrassed. That being said, unsure whether or not I'll go back. The other tech that worked on my boyfriend gives me hope...but honestly the review are spot on -- no consistency. read more

I have been to quite a few nail salons in my 8 years living in Chicago. I have finally feel like I have found the best nail salon. The pricing is reasonable, the staff is very attentive and welcoming, the massage chairs are amazing! Just be sure you have cash. They do not allow for tips on credit card. read more

They are not very welcoming when you enter the facility. The people at the salon should speak English when clients are present just to be polite. I felt very rushed through my manicure and did not feel the person was very thorough and I don't think the tools were not even sterilized. read more

I got a no chip mani done on 10/13 and most of it came off by 10/21. I called on 10-23 to let them know and they said I could come the very same day or the next day to fix it. I went into the salon at 3.45 on 10/24. The owner asked me to come in to get redone and was super defensive when seeing my nails that there is no way they could have done a bad job on my nails. She also said that it has been 13 days since they did my nails and I am still figuring out the math. She was very impolite and rude to me and I just walked out of the salon without getting it redone as they really hurt my feelings. Instead of fixing the issue they in turn were trying to blame me. I initially thought that this place's staff is amazing but after this experience I am very offended and hurt by their behavior towards me. read more

Thanks to the Nail Loft! I had been eagerly anticipating this opening as I've passed by a few times during their renovation and it looked so cute. And cute it is - really clean and a total turn around from what was in the space before. It's very bright and cheery with chandeliers and other cute touches. The staff was super nice. I was running by and totally sweaty and popped my head in to see if they were indeed open. They were! So, I let them know that I would be back in the afternoon to get a manicure. They were so accommodating - even though I was sweaty and had no money or wallet on me, they told me to come on in and that I could come back later and pay. WHAT?! Wow! I said no, but didn't need much prodding. So, I had a very relaxing manicure. I sat for a bit afterwards to dry them, but then went home to grab some money so that I could go back and pay! They seemed a smidge surprised that I returned (either so fast or at all!), but I did return. Really great deal - $11 manicure if you pay with cash ($12 otherwise). No neck/back massage (which I love typically), but really relaxing and friendly. Clean and neat and a great spot! read more

This place does a very good job at nails, but it reeks of cigarette smoke. I would wear a mask if you go.

I stopped buy here with a group of ladies the morning after a bachelorette party. We had scheduled appointments and were able to walk right in, pick our polish and sit down and get started (They also take walk-ins when its slow). The staff were very friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable in their field, and fast. It is also BYOB so you can bring champagne/alcohol if you please. You can pay with card or cash, but you get a discount if you pay in cash and can Venmo tip to your nail technician. Prices are very reasonable, much more so than a lot of other places and the manicures and pedicures last a very long time. I had no problems with chipping. The facility is light, bright and clean! I highly recommend. I'll definitely be back. read more

Going on my 8th day of No chip. I'm always lucky if I make it to day 5 without chipping! Needless to say I'm happy with the work. I booked an appointment day of and was in a total rush. The girls were professional, friendly and got me out of there quickly without sacrificing the quality. Thanks Nail Loft! My aesthetician was Jaqueline and I'll definitely request her again! read more

*WILL NEVER COME BACK* Covid has been tough, and I hate to leave this type of review for a nail salon, but I'm not picky and had a terrible experience. It's only fair others are aware. I had my eyebrows waxed and they turned out to be uneven. Needless to say, there's no solution for ruined eyebrows other than letting them grow back (which sucks). Besides, technicians being rude, my appointment was not honored as I had to wait for over an hour for someone to take care of me. Only positive thing is that their nail polish selection is good. Since ruining my eyebrows and wasting an hour can't be fixed, I won't return to the Nail Loft. read more

I would rate zero stars if I could. Went in with my gf because we had an appointment for 12 o'clock, we didn't get taken care of until 2 o'clock and had several people come before us. If I were to say it bluntly, it seemed like they catered more to white people than anyone else, the disparity in service for anyone who wasn't white was sub-par and very disgusting IMO. Cut nails too short, long wait time when appointment was made, other were placed before us, and shitty customer service. read more

Nails still going strong almost three weeks later. Can't wait for y'all to open back up!

Most of the people who work here are great and very good at their job, but I had a really negative experience that last time I was here. I came in to get my eyebrows waxed and Donna was very rude. This is the second I have had her and both times I've felt like she has shamed me. Comments included "You suck at this" (referring to how I flinched during the waxing process), poking jokes that I don't come in often enough, and even making condescending comments about how I wasn't bringing a date to a wedding I was attending that night. I like the nail loft, the convenience, the prices, and the majority of the staff, but I will not be returning as a result of this. read more

I normally love this place. The ladies are very nice and professional but after my last visit, I'm seriously thinking of never going back. The nail tech who did my mani/pedi had my fingers and toes bleeding for at least three days afterwards. She digs and digs and digs into the sides of your toes even after being told repeatedly that she is hurting you! Her response is always that you have ingrown toenails which is not the truth. Then you are chastised for not coming at least once a month. This last time she cut the cuticle on one of my fingers and I was still bleeding hours after I left. Never again. It's one nail tech in particular. I never have this problem with any of the other ladies. It's one thing to make a mistake but to tell her over and over that she's being too rough and be ignored is unacceptable! If I ever go back, this nail tech will never touch me again! read more

Great services! The girls here are always so nice and down to earth. They always do such a good job in cleaning and painting ones nails. I have been going to them for a little over a year now and they are the only ones I go to when I want my nails done! read more

Good color selection, friendly and fast once they start. Unfortunately, they often miss appointment times. Never had luck with walk-in because always booked up. read more

i've never left a review in my entire life but the service here was to amazing not to. the place was very welcoming, everyone greeted me when i walked in and were extremely helpful. not only was the customer service amazing but i got some of the best gel nails i've ever gotten. the girl who did my nails was so sweet and she did them perfectly and professionally. read more

The staff at Nail Loft is not very kind, especially the technician Julia. I was 5 minutes late to my appointment because I was unaware that Roscoe street was closed so I had to find parking a bit further and the nail tech said since I was a few minutes late I would now need to wait 30 minutes. Most nail salons have a small window as they sometimes run behind, which customers understand. I have never been treated with such disrespect at a nail salon. Many other great places in the neighborhood that I will try instead of the nail loft! read more

Customer service here is terrible. When the owner mistakenly booked my mother's mani-pedi for the wrong date, instead of taking responsibility or even apologizing she acted like they would NEVER have made a mistake, and talked to her like she was stupid. It was incredibly rude. I understand that people make mistakes but there's no reason for them to be so rude and condescending. One of the manicurists almost had a melt down over it. So unprofessional. We will not be returning. read more

If only we could give no stars. What a bad customer service experience. We have been pretty loyal customers, and my daughter and wife to be have all gotten pedicures together. We are getting married August 22nd and we scheduled an appointment to get pedicures again. We got there today and we were told that they can't honor our appointment as they are too busy. Why have appointments at all? I understand waiting a minute or two, but to not let us in as they are too busy is not good. A few days before our wedding and the bride is crushed. Please stay away from this mess and tell your friends. A reasonable response would have been acceptable, but to flat out tell us we are out was very rude. Oh and they own another nail salon on Roscoe. Not 2X10, but the other one. Don't give your money to these businesses. Yes I am a mad groom. Woody Siddall Bell School Parent read more

I had a problem with a no chip and they offered to fix it. Very grateful as this has never happened there before.

Best nail salon in the city- hands down! The sweet and talented ladies that own this salon will take great care of you. Every color option you could imagine and the service is friendly. The place is clean and charming and the prices are totally reasonable. read more
