These are my nails
Diana L.

Lucy did my nails and I absolutely love them I think she did a great job and she took her time . The reason why I'm giving 4 stars is because the person that did my moms nails which was a guy did a good job on the nails but was completely rude he kept moving her arms aggressively and before he finished the job he made her pay early

Decided to treat my daughter for a manicure and eyebrow wax. How about that for an eyebrow wax! Skin was burned and my daughter was in pain. Also, while getting a manicure her finger got cut and was bleeding for a minute. Definitely will never use this salon again.

Very friendly and professional service! Lucy is always so accommodating. Everyone on her team is fabulous. Highly recommended!

If I could give this place - 0 stars I would. I went in for a pedicure to obviously get my toe nails painted not my skin or my legs. This place is ridiculous, in this case if I wanted my skin painted I would of just gave my 5 year a marker to scribble on me at home for $FREE.99 Their customer service is the worst. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES!!!

I struggle to write this review because I previously had such a good experience here. I unfortunately did not catch the name of the person who did my nails the first time I was at this salon. Really wish I had so that I can make sure to request her next time because she gave me the most beautiful nails! Here's why I'm giving three stars despite my first experience: this place is located about 45 minutes away from where I live and I first stumbled upon it while I happened to be at Woodfield mall and I felt like getting my nails done so when I saw this salon I said, why not? And I loved my nails so much that I drove out there to get them filled in. On a Friday. During rush hour. I was driving for an hour and a half but I thought it would be worth it because I really wanted that perfect manicure for my birthday the next day. When I get there it is around 7pm. I know they close at 9pm so I figured that was more than enough time for a fill. The woman who did my nails previously wasn't there, so a man begins working on my fill and I can tell he is rushing. He didn't even make sure that my nails were approximately the same length. Didn't work on my cuticles, didn't file them down so they're not bulky. This manicure is shit compared to my previous one. I wouldn't normally complain about little details but I was highly disappointed to receive a service that was so poor compared to my previous experience with them. It was a very uncomfortable experience too because he was rushing so much that he didn't take precaution when filing to not get my skin. He also seemed upset when I asked him to cut the length and change the color i originally chose (before he applied and polish to my nail. Didn't even remove the previous color completely so you can see a little green around the edges. I don't really like this so I'm thinking of just having the nails removed and I'll stick with going to this place only when I'm in the area and if the woman who did my previous nails is there instead of making the trip especially to see them. I'm attaching pics of my current nails (purple-ish) and my previous nails (green). Didn't get up close pics of the green nails, but they looked flawless, couldn't even tell they were not my nails and my cuticle was well taken care of.

Nice red nails! Great job on the shape.

I had a great experience at upscale nails. They took care of me right away and my nail tech was very friendly. Lots of pretty polish colors to choose from! The tech was efficient and did a very good job making sure my nails were done well and shaped perfectly. Thank you!

The salon itself *looks* clean (the packets the tools are brought out in are not sealed which leads me to believe they just reuse the packets to make it look like they sterilize) but the quality isn't great. The man that did my mani pedi took forever for the most basic job. Red toes, pale fingers. Short, stumpy nails. I'm rather low maintenance. He ripped his way through my cuticles with a dull set of trimmers and slapped some lotion on my feet and calves. No massage. No scrub. My heels are still rough, nails are jagged. Fingernails started peeling the same day. They look like I did them myself in a hurry. Very disappointing.

Getting tortured by the nail salon, dont go here
Beca S.

Horrible. I had a cut on my foot and during my pedicure I cant tell u how many times she brushed it, and each time I flinched she laughed and said sorry. It was over 3 times, now I have to reopen the cut because its infected! Thanks Karla. Horrible, it looked soo bad- and that pedicure she had to paint over it with another color to make it even- it came out super gloopy and ugly and she only did 3 coats on the nails she felt looked bad (not on all the nails) - so my pedicure was a pediinfection. Thanks a lot. Not worth $28, for sure, didnt feel good- she spent only a little time taking care of my nails. I also got a manicure, and another manicurist did not even scrub under my nails to clean it out. So when I was letting my nails dry I saw thru my nails something dark, it was my dirt in my nails which she didnt clean at all. Too bad the manicure looked nice but the service that goes with it wasnt there the hand massage the cleaning out the nails, I mean really how can Lucy miss it, idk? But it easily is an OK place but I will not venture there to pay anything again

I came to get a fill and change the color of my nails, and had originally gotten them done at another salon and this salon amazed me. My nail tech was very precise about the shape of my nails after I told him about an issue I had with the shape of one of my nails from the prior salon. He constantly asked me if it was okay before moving on to the next step, which I appreciated. Staff is very welcoming and accommodating and the price was only $35. Very affordable & a job well done!!

Acrylic, Pink Gel, with two clear golden flakes as accent nails.

Cindy had done my nails and I absolutely love them. They look so nice and feel great. She put a lot of care into doing them.

I'm here in town only for a couple of days and needed to get my nails done. I like my nails to look…read morenatural, Cindy did a great job! Too bad I live in Virginia!!! ***$45 is worth the price for nails that don't chip and last 3-4 weeks. Not to be confused with shellac or gel (no chip). The girls at the shop know them as "dipping powder". If I could come back more often I would. Very friendly and knowledgeable!!! Thanks, Pro Nails @ Woodfield Mall!!!

This is the third and final time I'm giving this place a try. I came in Saturday afternoon (3:30pm)…read morefor a regular mani pedi in preparation for my bridal shower that was yesterday at 10:30am. After waiting 30 minutes for a technician, soaking my feet in a tub that was lined with plastic, with particles of plastic floating around in the tub, I was greeted. I was very lightly scrubbed with the micro planer and I was given a pedicure. It's fine, nothing to write home about. BUT The place is crazy crazy disgusting. Seriously - none of the tools were sanitized (including nail files, buffers, clippers). The sink to wash your hands is right next to a tub of hot wax, next to a back up generator and someone's lunch. Toe separators and shoes were to be re-used. The place is covered in dust from the acrylics. Obviously the tub is disgusting. The manicure took 45 minutes. It started to develop bubbles within minutes of getting under the drying lamps and the nails started to chip yesterday morning. Less than two days later, the nails have completely chipped off. I spent $35 for the mani pedi, plus a 10 dollar tip. For a chipped nail job that didn't even last. Stay away but if you want to worry about contracting a flesh eating parasite, this is the place for you.

I have curly hair that I like to straighten, so it's extremely important that I have someone who can work with it. The staff does a fantastic job!

I had hoped for a facial and the Aveda Aqua Massage. When I checked in for my appointments, they asked for my Groupon for the Aveda Sensory Facial. The Groupon was scanned and nothing was said to me. Not until I was in my robe and in the treatment room. The aesthetician told me that I had used a Groupon in the past (which must've been years ago) and they either couldn't honor it or I could use it towards paying the full price of the facial. I forgot if I had used one years ago. The aesthetician talked to me about my massage. And it was just a salt scrub. I said no it was supposed to be the aqua Massage. And she said that wasn't what was booked. And I don't do those you'd have to see a regular masseuse for that. I just agreed to go along because I wanted to have a nice experience, but it wasn't looking too good. The salt scrub was OK but if it lasted a half hour I would be surprised. Between the "hour" facial and the body scrub I was in the room for maybe an hour and a half. The service was OK. Then I went into the steam shower area, which is always nice. I got dressed and I went to check out at the front desk I wanted a copy of the receipt because of the difference in cost with the facial and the massage. The woman said we only email them. I should've waited for my email before leaving. When I did receive the email I had started driving. So on my receipt, they did not give me the full $79 credit that I paid for my Groupon. They only gave me $63 in credit. Also, there's a $4 additional charge on the receipt. I called back that afternoon and had to leave a message because the recording said they were busy. No one returned my call. I called back the following day and was told that the additional $4 charge was to help offset the cost of the keeping the exceptional experience at the Asha Salon Spa??? I was told that they only applied $63 of my Groupon because they have to pay Groupon the $16 back. And that's how Groupon makes money. I have never heard of that before and I've used Groupon for years. They stood by their comments. I sent an email to Groupon who was supposed to get back to me within a week. I have not heard from them. At this point, I don't think I'll be using Groupon. If I do use Asha Salon spa in the future, I would make sure and double check I have the services I wanted, the prices and the length of the treatment clearly defined before I checked in for my appointment. It was clearly disappointing and not the experience that I've had in the past.

Drove to Schaumburg for a lunch date with my girl friends. After lunch, we passed by this nail…read moresalon and thought it would be an awesome idea to continue our lunch conversation here. Walked in - greeted immediately. ----PLUS! Was indecisive about which color to put on - the lady working there asked me which colors I liked. Then she suggested the CUTEST color combination! Never had thought to mix the colors! I'm the only girl with it because you can't buy it elsewhere...:::wink wink::: ----PLUS and PLUS! I wear heals to work ALL the time...the office is strict on sandals...yeah not going to say anymore...She massaged it, took care of it and painted my toes..love the colors ----PLUS! While my girls were getting their pedi, I was getting my mani. I wished she cut my nails a little shorter...my fault, I didn't speak up. She painted my nails nicely though. There are some places that don't get the edges right. Yeah, so what? I get my nails done all the time...I'm picky...Also had a great convo. She was so sweet and funny. ----PLUS! I'm not sure where that "15 year old boy" was....fired? New owner? Anyhow, I had a great experience. I say YES to this place!

Eva is my go to nail technician and consistently does an amazing job with my no chip manicure and pedicure but everyone here is really great!

Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a new go to nail salon!
