The Lacquer Room on 18th Street in Pilsen is my spot for Spa Pedicures & No Chip Manicures. Owners Lili & Maria are so professional & welcoming and the Nail Artists are fabulous! Last year, when a friend in her 70's visited me from NY, I treated her to a manicure and she said it was the best manicure of her life! The Lacquer Room is incredibly clean and the products are high quality. My no chip manicures last nearly six weeks and they still look great! the color choices are fresh and my favorite no chip polish is a sparkly purple named Disco, and I always receive compliments on my nails. read more

Came here for a pedicure, they were able to take me as a walk in! I was offered water, tea, or wine during my service. They have the gel bottle brand (amazing nail polish brand), my pedicure came out perfect! I would absolutely recommend this place to all my friends! read more

It's very feminine in the salon and makes me feel all girly and at the same time empowered. I've been here twice and both times I've gotten great service. I searched around and couldn't find a nail salon near by with comparable prices. My pedicure lasted a long time and the color options are varied. Definitely my new go to spot! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I'm currently sitting in my car writing this review because I had a really bad experience. I called to make an appointment and was supposed to join my sister's appointment. When I got there, the woman who said she was the owner refused to help me because the appointment was under my sister's name, not mine. She spoke to me like I didn't know anything and when I mentioned that I'm a lawyer, she laughed in my face and said she doubted it. I told her I would leave a review, and she just said, "Do what you want." I'm still shocked at how poorly I was treated. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

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 :-\ read more

The salon is beautiful and has a relaxing atmosphere. I was offered a drink upon arrival (water, tea, or wine) but unfortunately the remainder of the experience was not up to par. I had booked a basic pedi and no-chip mani combo. I did not realize the basic pedi did not include callus removal, which was my partially fault, but the list of services on the website does not include descriptions and the technician made no suggestion to add the service despite the condition of my heels. The hand/foot massages were brief and superficial, and it felt like the tech sped through my services (advertised as lasting 1hr 45minutes but finished a half-hour early). I was initially quite happy with the appearance of my nails on both my hands and feet, but today, only 3.5 days after my appointment, my no-chip mani has bubbles appearing under the polish and my cuticles look dry and are peeling. read more

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. read more

Wonderful salon, friendly staff and very clean environment. Amazing selection of services, the TMLR spa services are fantastic. Great selection of colors and the profiles on the website are great to know who to match with for services. The owner herself also is here often and provides amazing service. Highly recommend to check this place out. read more

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 :) read more

TM Lacquer Room - Made my inspiration come to life! Love my nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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! read more

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. read more

TM Lacquer Room - My nail tech was nice and good at her work. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I realllllly wanted to love this place, and everyone there is extremely nice and professional. Definitely come here for a pedicure or manicure but don't bother with designs. As stated, everyone is great, I just had an issue with payment. Designs can run you a pretty penny here if you're not paying attention. I was being charged $5 per nail design (which honestly I think is a lot), but when I was going to pay, I was charged for extra designs. I usually get 2 nail designs per hand, total of 4, they could be super simple or complex, $5 each regardless, but then I would be charged for an extra 1-2 designs. I don't understand why, but it's extremely shady and I was even more disappointed it was happening all the time apparently. The first time I noticed, I paid for my bill without saying anything. But the second time that I had 4 nails with designs (2 flowers and a matte top coat) and was charged for SIX, that's $30 on designs alone, wtf! I hate confrontation so I didn't say anything, but I made a comment that I thought it was more expensive than usual and just made the decision to not come back. Charge whatever you want for services, I'll gladly pay, just don't add additional charges for things i did not get just to make more money. It's deceiving and just wrong. read more

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! read more

My no chip chipped after a week. They add an extra $5 charge for no chip removal even if you're getting a no chip manicure by them. They use a file, not even the tool. On tops of that, their prices are on par with high end salons. read more

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! read more

Paid for my fiancée and her two sisters to get their nails done as a gift for her on her wedding-dress-shopping-day. Two sisters were fair, but nothing remarkable. My fiancée ended up getting cut not once, not twice, but three times by her nail tech. Her cuticles were literally dripping blood. On top of this, her polish smudged in front of the tech multiple times, which they could not correct despite multiple attempts and finally gave up. To boot--this was supposed to be a 60-75 minute service, for a prebooked appointment, but ended up taking close to THREE HOURS to complete. Buyer beware. read more

Sweet family-owned nail place in Pilsen (right next to Knee Deep Vintage). Very open, airy, and trendy. Their selection of non-gel colors is limited, but they have TONS of pretty gels to choose from including Essie and Bottle Inc (The GEL Bottle) which are not only pretty in the bottle, but also out :) I only stopped for a gel mani, but the pedi station is super adorable looking too. read more

Just left this place attempting to make an appointment for two services & was reminded why I've haven't been back in years. When I inquire about the total amount for the services (pedicure & eyebrow wax total $62 with a $40 deposit) she stated I was being difficult because I said I'd pay for this one time & commenced to white out my appointment. read more

I have been here a few times and always appreciate how prompt they are about getting me in at my appointment time, they are always friendly, and it is always clean in there with pleasant music. Felisa always does an excellent job with my nails and the most recent time I went she went above and beyond to make my nails look festive for an event I have this weekend. I also appreciate all of the covid precautions they are taking and it is aesthetically pleasing in there. I feel relaxed when I get my nails done here! read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. They blamed me for not booking the right service even though I called, spoke to one of their staff, and simply wanted a full set. They were 15 minutes late but said We wouldn't have enough time for the service and instead of accommodating (i had a brow apt as well) they cancelled all my services and refunded me without offering any solutions. They also said I ruined their client bookings for the day which should probably never be said to a willingly paying customer. Won't be returning, save your energy. read more

To echo the sentiments of others....the salon is cute, chick, and clean. The customer service, in my case, was outstanding. After getting a gel manicure, I returned home, only to discover small bubbles on 8/10 nails, which I did not notice before leaving the salon. I probably wouldn't have complained, except about 2 days after getting the manicure, a few of my nails started chipping. They were able to get me in a couple of days later and redo my polish, free of charge, as expected. The problem is that it's been 1 day since my fresh no-chip manicure, and there are, in fact, chips. Multiple. It can really only be a problem with the polish or the gel lamps, as the technique seemed to be just like every other salon. I'm not sure, but spending almost $60 (including tip) and having chips is a no for me. read more

LOVED this place! AND it's Latina owned!! Heck yeah! I FINALLY came here for the first time, and I loved it. The atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming, it's a high-quality salon without the haughty, snobby vibes of other places. It's modern, it's chic, but above all the staff are INCREDIBLY friendly! They welcome you the moment you walk in, they assist you quickly, and they offer you complimentary wine. What more could you ask for. I got a basic mani and the staff was very helpful in letting me know what my options were. I had Mani as my nail tech and she was great! She was gentle, made friendly conversation, and she did an amazing job! I will be back, no doubt about it! read more

I just went for the first time today and I quite liked my experience! The place is really chic, open, and modern looking. I really like how they made an effort to decorate and make the place look welcoming. My nail technician was very friendly and made the experience comfortable. The polish ended up being really sheer but she didn't hesitate to help me put on an extra layer after I came back fifteen minutes later. I also got a wax which went well. I usually am hesitant because some places tend to rip my skin off but they did just fine! I will definitely return - and bring my mom as well! read more

I tried our TM Laquor Room right before my wedding after reading the good reviews, and I'm always interested in trying new small businesses in the neighborhood. So glad I did- my partner and I both got Mani Pedis (his first ever) and it was such a relaxing experience. My partner especially enjoyed sipping wine during his services. All the staff was friendly, attentive and detail oriented. My bridal manicure looked gorgeous and it held up through an epic five day Hindu wedding. Both my partner and I had to be barefoot during many of our wedding celebrations, so it was nice to have such fresh fingers and toes. I'll be back! read more
