UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!! Took my girlfriend to get a mani/pedi. This was our first time visiting Tokyo Nails & Spa. Dylan and Tre took care of us from the moment we walked in. The place has been newly updated with all new massage chairs, new tables, new paint job, everything brand new!! Their service was exceptional!! If you are in the area you should definitely stop by and try out Tokyo Nails & Spa. P.S. - don't forget to say hi to the little doggie (Covid) that is hanging out right by the TV in the back. read more

Tokyo Nails And Spa - Amanada does great work. The two owners are great too - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Best no chip manicure I have ever had. No peeling or lifting in more than 2 weeks. Trudy is amazing but everyone in the shop has amazing skills and high standards. read more

What an amazing place. The owner Trudy is kind and very caring to staff and customers alike. Everyone seems like family here. I moved here from the western burbs and felt welcome the first time I walk in. I'll be back for sure read more

This place has been highly recommended by neighbors. I didn't not have a good experience with no chip compared to other places I've tried. I would say it's worth trying to see if you like it yourself. read more

This is by far once of the worst salons I've ever been to. I never like to comment on ones appearance, but the woman that did my manicure looked like she just crawled out of a fight. Her shirt was dirty, she looked sloppy, and her hair was a mess. I was a little afraid to even get a manicure. The color I picked out was a great nude, but wasn't applying well so she added liquid to it. Well here I am 2 days later and nearly ever nail had chipped. My manicure last me a solid 10 days before any shipping happened. Here I can't even go a weekend. Disappointment is an understatement. This location has been under new ownership about 5 times since over lived in buffalo grove. I'm surprised they haven't closed down for good. Maybe it's time... read more

Trudy is awesome! I always get my birthday pedicure here with my mother in law! Service is always fast and they do a great job!!

I went in on a Tuesday night for a no-chip manicure & pedicure. Afterward, I wasn't too impressed with the job done. My pedicure was okay. The massage seemed a bit rushed. My feet still felt very rough. My manicure was decent. I asked for OPI Lincoln Park After Dark polish but they didn't have that or a black OPI color. So a different brand was used that I didn't recognize. Saturday morning, I noticed the top of my pointer finger's polish peeled back (photo from that morning). I was out of town & unable to go back to the salon right away. Within that time, my other hand's pointer peeled back as well. I noticed the polish on my other nails wasn't in great shape either. I called Tuesday to tell them I'd be in Wednesday to have them fixed. When I walked in, I explained (to who I believe is the owner) what happened. He asked when I had them done, I said last week on Tuesday. He points to my nail growth & says "Not last week. It's grown too much." I told him I'd show him my credit card statement to when I paid. He said it's fine, he'd do it anyway. Implying I wasn't being truthful. Then he goes, grabs the color, looks at my nails again, points to my growth, laughs & says "yeah.. a few days." Implying once again, I lied about when I came in. Needless to say, I won't be back. I've never had a no-chip last only 4 days & I have NEVER been treated like that at any other salon. read more

I have been a customer of this salon for the last year. My technician is Amanda and she is outstanding. She does an excellent job and she is very easy going and always makes me feel comfortable. I am usually the only man there but the staff goes out of their way to make sure I feel at home. Amanda gives the most relaxing foot massages and I always look forward to my appointments with her. I highly recommend this salon for anyone needing nail treatments. read more

I started going to Tokyo Nails since the new owners reopened summer of 2022. I have been obsessed ever since. Since day one they have never failed me and I am literally soooo picky when it comes to my nails. Every single nail tech there takes their time to make sure it's exactly what you want it. I have also gotten many different services from dip, gel, no chip, w tips / no tips, and they have never missed !!! Always perfection. I go to Dylan for my manicures and Tina for my pedicures but everyone is amazing and supperrrrrrr kind - like not the type of nail salon where they are gonna secretly judge you or talk about you to each other. Love them !!!! Here is my most recent gel manicure w tips done by Dylan! read more

I've been to Tokyo nails twice. The first time i went was about a year ago and my nails didn't come out horrible but, I wasn't happy with them. They were too short and stubby, and the nails were bumpy from the acrylic. They just weren't good quality. I wanted them to look nice, but they were at best decent. It was my fault, because I didn't say anything. However. When I went for a second time, my nails were much worse. The powder was so bumpy and uneven I genuinely felt like crying when I left their salon. After ONE day of work with my new set my clear coat began MELTING off on all of my nails. I took even a hot shower, and my clear coat popped off. The nails damage easily, and the shaping of them is careless. The drawn on design is even worse. I don't want to delve into it, but I paid a lot of money for less than mediocre nails. It's actually embarrassing for me to walk around with these nails on. I have an appointment already to take them off and get a brand new set. I liked this place for their employees, but it's safe to say I wont EVER be back there again. read more

Dylan is the best. He's very detailed and takes his time. Ive gotten so many compliments!! read more

Tokyo Nails And Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Dylan did my manicure. He didn't push back, cut or clean my cuticles at all. He used the spinning filing tool on my nails to file away a part of the cuticle, that was in his way . It damaged my nails so bad that it took two months to recover. My nails chiped after 4 days and the polish that was light pink turned yellowish orange color the same week as well. I was told that this happens, when a place uses old and expired products. Needless to say, it was very disappointing and I won't be going back. read more

When I went in to get my nails done today, I did not expect to leave with new friends who I would miss until I get to see them again!! I didn't have an appointment but Dylan was able to squeeze me in last minute. Trudy started on my nails and then Dylan took over. Both are incredibly kind and so much fun to be around. Natalie and Trey were also so kind and knowledgeable. I've never been a loyal nail salon customer but that has officially changed. I've never felt so welcome at any new place before. I almost forgot to mention that they also did an incredible job on my nails. I love them! If you're looking for a nail place then do not look any further! -Sarah read more

Dylan always does a great job! Love coming here every month! Everyone is so nice and they have many many colors to choose from.

I'm so happy I took a chance with this nail salon. I read the reviews on Google before visiting. I was lucky to have Andy do my nails. I'm a big fan of dip powder nails/design as my nails are sensitive and break, crack, and chip easily with no- chip manicures or acrylic nails. Also particular picky about the process of application for dip powder nails. If not done correctly, it will come out looking lumpy, sandy, and/or really thick. Andy was incredibly gentle and paid close attention to detail. He took his time and did not rush. I really enjoyed getting my nails done here. It was so relaxing and most importantly, they turned out wonderful! Exactly how I like my nails to look! *** side note- a diff lady did my classic pedicure and she did a great job too!*** Def A MUST to come here for nails. Will be back again and again! read more

Tokyo Nails has a new ownership and they are fantastic. Dylan and staff are great. Super friendly and they do outstanding work. Be sure to try them out. You'll love them. read more

What a great find!! I was in the market for a new nail salon. Not all salons provide dip manicure services. I had been looking for a week for one in the area. Andy does great work at a good price. Lots of colors to choose from! The pedicures are ok. The technicians could spend a little bit more time on the leg massage. I got the Signature pedicure this visit. I was looking forward to a longer massage but I didn't notice that. The mask and paraffin was bag was nice. I just noticed the polish on my toes seems to be missing the top coat. read more

This was my third visit. The first two were great. The girl today was aggressive right off and was talking about us in her language to the coworker . We were in the back row of nails and most other people were getting pedicures at this time. Asked kindly if she would please be gentle and she was worse and her talking about us was worse. It was so obvious and uncomfortable. Then asked the guy we assumed was owner if he would please ask her to stop as we were there to relax. It was awful , we have never experienced this anywhere else.she then became quite petty with us. It was horrible. read more

This is my go-to salon!! I always ask for Andy because he's the best nail technician I've ever had (and I've been to a ton of nail salons in the suburbs and the city). I can't speak for the rest of the employees, but Andy is amazing!! Whether it's an acrylic set or no-chip on my natural nails, he always makes it come out more perfect than I hoped. read more

Tokyo Nails And Spa - No-chip on my natural nails after months of acrylic!! They look so healthy and beautiful! Andy is the best - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

I have never had such a horrible pedicure and no chip manicure in my life. I could tell immediately that they did an awful job and I knew the polish was never going to last. The next day one of my toe nails chipped off without any reason. My "no chip", if they should even call it that, manicure chipped after 4 days and peeled completely off by day 6. They should change the name to "guarantee to chip" manicure. Every single nail salon I go to, my nails last 3.5 weeks. Literally every single salon. So the fact that my nails and toes both chipped immediately attests to the poor quality polish and poor quality application. So unfortunate. The other thing to mention is that there is one nail lady who is so obnoxious. There is no other way to put it. You come into this environment to relax and it's so off putting to hear this woman complaining and whine about everything. It's as if we are doing her a favor by gracing ourselves with her royal presence. Her constant banter with customers, while may be for a select few people, was not for me. Please just be quiet and let me get my nails done in peace. I don't want to listen to you screaming at other customers from across the salon. And finally, they are soo obnoxiously pushy trying to upsell a service. I understand that they are a business and are trying to make money, but when a customer tells you no, stop asking them again and again and again. I told you no already so why are you continually trying to upsell a service after I repeatedly denied it. I should have known then that this was going to be a crock of a mani pedi and I should have left. An absolute waste of money. Never coming back here due to how quickly my nails chipped. Bummer!! Save yourself the money and go elsewhere because your nails won't last anyways. read more

Where do I start? This place is TERRIBLE. For starters as I was getting my nails done the guy continuously stopped to watch television. After 1.5 weeks of the dipped nails 5 of my nails cracked and chipped....yes 5!!! I went back and he said I had them done over 2 weeks ago and I even brought up the transaction date which proved when they were done he didn't care. I've been getting dipped nails for YEARS and this has never happed after 1 week. Then I asked him just to take the nails off since he wouldn't fix them. Then he says he charges $10. I would never give this place my business again. If I could rate this 0 stars I would. Poor work and poor customer service. read more

Bad experience with this place. Their pedicure special was anything but special. I don't leave reviews, especially negative, for any place but feel sad that my nails chipped away in 2 days even before leaving for vacation. This is not my usual place for nails and had to go as a last min resort. I took care not to chip my nails, and now regret not doing them myself . Will not be stepping into this place ever and I am leaving this review for others to be aware. read more

ANDY did so good on my nails! I paid 60 at another place that did a horrible job! (organic nails in Randhurst) .... Andy fixed them up real nice and he didn't even charge me extra for removal, shaping.. like all these other nail shops charge you for! I highly recommend Andy and Tokyo nails!! read more

Tokyo Nails And Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Do not go here !! The one man who I'm assuming is the manager was super rude and obviously annoyed because they were busy. My nails chipped immediately and ever since then my nails have been super weak and brittle. They are super unprofessional and the place is not kept up at all. It clearly isn't cleaned well, and the vibe overall is horrible. I am not happy with my last experience there. read more

This place is not good. It doesn't appear very sanitary or clean. My nails only lasted a day. They fixed them, they still didn't last. They were not very friendly, and the people who worked there, looked like they fell out of a garbage can. They also speak their language, which is fine, but loud across the shop is not acceptable. read more

I went here as a last resort because every place in the area was booked. I got a no chip manicure which lasted 4 days, my no chips usually last 3 weeks. I'm not going to bother going back for them to fix it. The salon itself was very messy, there were boxes everywhere, nothing was organized, they couldn't find the nail color I chose. There was no music inside but the TV was on, so all you heard was the employees talking among themselves. For a last resort it's not a bad salon but i'm sticking to where I usually go. read more

Owner is so disrespectful. If you make an appointment they will still try to squeeze people in before you even if you then have to wait a half hour. DO NOT go here. read more

Never again! Used to be a loyal customer and then had some bad service. Heard management had changed so I gave them a 2nd chance. Had 2 good appointments and then BOOM walked in for a previously scheduled appointment and was told there would be a 45 minute wait. No thank you! He tried to offer me a coupon or rain check but I will NEVER go back there again so I just walked out. Don't waste your time...or money!! read more

Horrible no chip. I asked for a flower with a rhinestone in the middle and they had claimed that they were all out of the gems!!! The guy had to redo the design at least 5 times and had no clue what he was doing, while another man was hovering over the whole time. Reaked of cigarettes and a loud child running around. Sorry, but there are just too many other salons who I would much rather give business too. Last time I will receive a service from them. Sorry! Not acceptable in this area. read more

My go-to for a great mani/pedi! I started coming to this salon 4 years ago when it was called Perfect Nails. The salon is very clean and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The new owner has really improved the pedicure services and added a lot of great new colors and nail services. They do a great no-chip and offer a large variety of colors to choose from. Definitely check out the "cats eye" gel colors that they offer. Super pretty! Tip: They have a loyalty card you can use when you pay cash- 10th service free. read more
