    I ended up chipping the end, and don't consider that the nail tech's fault.
    Shweta S.

    Tried this place for the first time and was left disappointed. The aesthetic of the place is so pretty and the service is sweet! My nail tech didn't seem like she was new especially when she did my pedicure. But she did take long, which I guess is fine. But when it came to my manicure, it was not good. I'm not sure if they are not used to doing regular nail polish or what. But I was left disappointed. Not sure if I would come back here again. She could even tell she didn't do a good job and she took an hour and 10 minutes doing my nails. Let it be known that I asked her to trim my nails short so there wasn't much area to paint. Extra points: I had no existing nail polish on my fingers. My last manicure and pedicure was a month prior and that was a regular one.

    I got my manicure here ($25 plus tip) and Maria (co-owner) did my nails and she did a great job! She was super nice and did my nails carefully and meticulously. You get tea or water as a complimentary drink. My friends got pedicures ($40 plus tip) and they said the mango scrub they used was wonderful! You will need to make reservations ahead of time if you are doing groups of people and put a deposit in but you will get it back after the services have been paid.

    I treated myself to a Mani/Pedi at TM Lacquer Room minutes after receiving my job offer. I believe they'd only been open for a few weeks. The owner, her Mom and one other employee were on hand that day. I was immediately greeted with a smile and an offer to choose the between bottle water, tea, white or red wine. Years ago I owned a spa, so I try to support these businesses because I know just how tough it can be. The services were pretty good, but they can tighten up a bit. They're using some of the best products in the industry and were really focused on making sure I was comfortable. The owner and her mom are super sweet. Judging from recent reviews it looks like they've worked out the kinks. I'm coming up on another work anniversary next month and may stop in soon to celebrate. SN: Yelp is doing you a disservice by not linking my photos :-\

    No chip cats eye manicure lasted 3 weeks!

    This is quickly becoming my go-to nail salon! The space is cute, clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly. I like their selection of polish and the pricing is very reasonable. Each time my nail tech has been warm, diligent, and more than accommodating. Today I came in with a hangnail and my nail tech was able to flawlessly and patiently repair it so my nails looked crisp! I get so many compliments on my nails since coming here and it's easy to book an appointment with them! They offer a variety of services too. Definitely check out if you are in or near Pilsen. I've called and been told the next appointment wasn't for 2 days but also called the day of and been fit in within a few hours. IMHO Any reasonable person understands a nail appointment can take time especially during busier hours.

    Made my inspiration come to life! Love my nails!

    I never write reviews, but I truly loved the service and highly recommend! Had an easy time booking my appointment via phone (they do hold a deposit but fully goes toward the service). Overall, the staff were so friendly and professional. Also super covid safe - took customers' temperatures, made sure hands & equipment were washed frequently, and sanitized surfaces visibly. Now to the quality - I got a spa pedicure & basic manicure. Just let the photo of my nails speak for itself! They understandably didn't have the exact colors but worked with what they had & I'm obsessed. Not pictured, but my feet also look (and feel) great. Definitely will be coming back often :)

    Gel X for the WIN!!!

    I was never a regular with manicures because no matter where I went my nails would not last as they are weak and break. However since going to TM Lacquer Room for their Gel X services on a consistent basis my nails have remained long for the last 5 months! I am in disbelief with my natural nail length, never did I think MY nails could last at this length for this long! Also, staff is incredibly welcoming, kind, and professional. I also appreciate how mindful the salon is regarding health and sanitation measurements. Plus, who doesn't love warming up with a cup of tea or glass of wine during these winter months?? I highly recommend TM Lacquer Room and have not gone anywhere else since discovering how well they take care of my nails. These professionals know what they're doing!

    My nail tech was nice and good at her work.

    Let me start off by saying that I consider myself a very understanding person. If you ask anyone about me they will tell you, I'm very laid-back and a positive person. I wanted to love this place. The ambience is very pretty and chic for a nail salon.However, the owner is the most ill-mannered person I have ever encountered in my life.I want there three weeks ago to get a no chip manicure.After talking to the nail tech she convinced me to come back in a few weeks and get a gel manicure so I can grow out my own nails.I expressed to her that I was a bit worried about how long it takes because I usually do not have a babysitter after work hours.She then said your daughters are so well behaved it's like they're not even here. So I came back to doing gel manicure and my daughters sat on the couch quietly the entire time we were there. While paying the receptionist even mentioned how well behaved my two daughters were.Later, I get a phone call from the owner saying that my daughters were never allowed to enter her business. She said, that one of the pillows that was on the couch where my daughter sat was torn. She then continued to say, you are welcomed back but your daughters are not. My guess is that she's probably not a mom, because any good mom knows, If my children are not welcome there, I will never go there.Nevertheless my husband was the bigger person and called the owner and ask how much was the pillow so he can replace it. She then said, it's about the principle you don't go to someone's house and destroy their property. Then hung up on him. Not that it matters but if my four-year-old daughter and my six-year-old daughter can easily destroy a pillow with their bare hands My guess is probably not bought at Restoration Hardware or Pottery barn. Furthermore that you value a $20 pillow over a customer that pays $100 to get their nails done every time she goes really speaks highly of your character and your principles. PS. Other than that my nail tech was very friendly and did a great job with my nails.

    Fresh no chip manicure
    Fabiola O.

    I don't normally pay to get my nails done, for the most part I do them at home. But I needed a manicure that will last longer and decided to give this place a try. Love my no chip manicure! Mani did an excellent job and she was really nice, will definitely be back not only because it's close to my job but because they did a great service!

    Amanda did an amazing job on my nails. I've always wanted Sailor Moon inspired nails and Amanda was able to accomplish that. I've gotten many compliments! They're also doing a really great job with COVID guidelines and are very clean.

    No chip pedicure.
    Farrin G.

    I've been serviced at TM twice now and have had a great experience both times. Funny enough, both times I came here is because I was had a bad day and needed some pampering. I've only had pedicures so I can only speak to that, but the service is thorough and well done. My no-chip pedicure lasted about a month, the polish is really high quality and they have a full color range. It's a higher end experience and i appreciate the change of pace. It's also Latinx owned, and I love supporting other minorities. Thank you to the TM team for accommodating my last minute scheduling yesterday, I really appreciate and will be back in a month!

    No chip manicure. I have been coming here since they opened, and they have never disappointed me, and they are more than accommodating.

    I have been coming here since they opened, and they never disappoint. They are more than accommodating and very friendly. Their nail artists are very talented, and there are plenty of colors to choose from. I usually get a no-chip manicure and a regular pedicure.

    No chip came off the day after getting them done. My nail tech rushed the whole processes. I was done in less than 30 minutes.

    I left a review and was surprised to be blocked. I even got an email about them blocking me, which…read morefelt a little odd lol. They mentioned not understanding my initial review. Happy to clarify. For context: I booked a lash tint & wax and brow lamination. After chatting with the technician, we walked through my options and she recommended skipping the brow lamination since my wedding was only ~2 weeks away and suggested doing a simple brow tint and wax instead. Just to ensure I felt the most comfortable leading up to the big day. I appreciated the honesty, so we adjusted the service while keeping the same appointment time and still doing the lash services. (For the record, my technician was GREAT!) What bothered me was still being charged $125 + $28 for the lash tint, even though a brow tint and wax is $50. It's not like I was trying to shortchange anyone. The only difference was not doing the brow lamination, which was the most expensive part, and the change was based on the technician's own recommendation. It just feels like basic fairness. When I go in for a haircut, I may book a full session in case we decide to add highlights, but if we end up only doing a single process, my colorist doesn't charge me for highlights I didn't get, since we work together to see what we are feeling for color/cut, etc. That seems reasonable. The front desk's attitude didn't help either. That's the most annoying part and probably being blocked... As I mentioned previously, I won't be returning. Luckily, Chicago has plenty of other options.

    I had a great first time at The Wax & Skin Lounge! The staff is so nice and the aesthetic is very…read morecalming and warm. I definitely will be back!
