Solid nail spot in the neighborhood. Everyone I have been to has done a great job and they offer walk in appointments. Very clean and comfortable space plus their massage chairs are such a treat. read more

I've come here a few times and have always had a great experience. The prices are very affordable ($55 for acrylics with no chip and $30 for a pedicure) and you get discounts if you pay in cash. The older gentleman is my favorite and I love his attention to details with everything. read more

Today was my first visit to Vie's and Tim did an excellent job!! The salon is very welcoming! Everyone seemed very friendly! Tim went above and beyond what I had originally requested! I will definitely recommend this nail salon read more

I have been going to Vie's for many years because I like the way my nails are done there. However, and that should be a however in all caps, the owner has terrible customer service, and is very rude. I feel that going to get my nails and hair should be a relaxing time, and this has not been the case. Aside from that, there are several hygiene practices I have noticed lately, and in this day and age with viruses of all sorts, I am hesitant. Unfortunately, I plan on not returning. read more

I love getting my nails done here. They are thorough and always ask how it's looking to make sure I like it. The atmosphere is lovely and it turns my day around! read more

$30 pedicure was excellent! The salon had 6-7 technicians, plenty of nail stations and pedi spa chairs with massage. My nail technician (Lee) was meticulous and careful. Not only did she make my feet look lovely, she promoted self acceptance when I was critical of my body. Wonderful work! read more

Cindy is the best! She always does my nails beautifully and comes up with unique designs (like those pictured below). She can also do designs based on pictures. Also, my no-chip nails stay looking fresh for at least 3 weeks! When I get my nails done anywhere else (if I'm out of town, etc), the no-chip usually lasts 2 weeks at best. You won't be disappointed! read more

Had a good experience but -1 star because I don't think it makes a difference if you make an appointment lol. I went there for a 4:30 but didn't get sat until 5, pedicure until 5:20, got the mani after and was out by 6:15. Lady who did my toes was *fantastic* and the pedicure was perfect. Lady who did my manicure went very fast, hurt me, and my nails turned out not clean and a little sloppy. IMO all of this was worth the price though. read more

Used to be my go-to. Had a 2:30 pedi appointment over my lunch break. They put me in a chair soaking my feet and ignored me for 20 minutes. When I looked around and realized nobody was close to finishing with their current client I walked out. I have no problem waiting - even 15 minutes. But ignored for 20 then told it would still be a while? Don't take appointments if you're not going to honor them. Hope the walk-is return for you because this long time client won't be back. read more

Vie's Nails - 17 Days - still a perfect no-chip mani. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am not sure why this place has so many good reviews. It's actually quite basic and their equipment looks pretty dated. I was appalled to see that they use the same instruments (such as nail file etc) for each client. I am used to nail salons using disposable kits that are not shared between clients or is at the very least sterilized before being used. I was grossed out by the experience and won't be returning. If you care about hygiene, this place is definitely not for you! read more

Cindy has been doing my nail for a 15 years . she is an artist and does an amazing job every time. I refuse to go anywhere else because no one is as talented as her . thank . you Cindy read more

I never write reviews, but am making an exception here and it makes me sad to do so. I have been going here for at least 10 years. I love supporting neighborhood businesses. The service was always great, but for yet another time is lackluster, rushed, and makes me feel like I am inconveniencing them. It also seems like the employees are being chastised by the owner during work in another language based on the demeaned looks of workers in response, which is concerning. I had a standard mani/pedi (which is now $10 more, but if you use a card, now also incurs a surcharge). (It was $48/ plus a $7 tip - I usually tip more.) It used to be $35 for any form of payment. My pedicure was about 25 minutes long and some nails were not even filed smooth (the basics). Same with my manicure. I had to stop her from cutting my full nails down as far as you can go. Trim down usually means cut down from it's current length, but lower and not totally eliminate any overlap of nail. The nail shapes were different. Pick one and match both hands to it and some are just angled and crooked. By the end of the same day there was a gap between polish and cuticles and the polish was off the nail ends after almost no use to merit this. (It wasn't no-chip, but I expect a few days of good appearance/wear - if I am careful - which I was. I was at an event, not typing, gardening, cleaning, etc.) I went to sit and dry and my person went on to another client (which is typical) and never checked on me at all before I would be expected to leave, which is always very brief, but welcomed - to verify that you are dry, help you with your shoes, etc. I waited until she was done because she never acknowledged me and then had to go find her in the office to get my razor sharp nail fixed, etc. I reluctantly tipped her, but did. I shouldn't walk out and need to redo my nails myself because the work is not good. We all can buy nail care equipment and polish. We go to someone else because we assume they can do better than we can. Not the case lately. This should be an experience that makes you feel pampered. Overall, it was dismissive and stressful. Almost two hours for a mediocre experience. I pay on card and always tip in cash at the end of the session before I leave. I have bought matching polish since to cover the problems (best as I can as I had a stroke). I'll be moving on from here to a place providing quality service that appreciates their customers. read more

I am so bummed about this Salon! This used to be my go-to place, and I have been a raving fan of this nail salon for several years. Yet a few months ago, I noticed the quality started going down. And with each visit, I kept getting more and more frustrated by the changes in the staff and the quality of the work. There were a few women, one in particular, that were very good at their job and very good at making the clients feel appreciated and comfortable. Unfortunately, I have not seen these women in a while and it is too bad the owner let them go. Especially since she should probably take a lesson from them on how to treat people/customers. This last visit was the last straw! A new woman, who did my no-chip manicure, did an awful job. Honestly, it looks like a first grader did the manicure. My cuticles are ratty and look awful. The no-chip polish is uneven. From the side, a few of my nails look "wavey". There are also several "fish-eye" indentations on the surface of the polish that I didn't notice until I had left the salon. Normally, I would go back and say something, but when I have said something in the past, the owner was rude to me about the situation and made me feel as though the bad manicure/service was my issue. On top of all the mounting disappointment in the quality of the service, I am disappointed that the salon owner doesn't do a better job of treating her regulars well. With all the salons to choose from, the owner really should take a hard look at how she treats her regulars, who support her business. I would much rather go to a different salon who appreciates my 2 monthly visits and my money. Sorry Vie's, I am going to take my business elsewhere and spend my hard-earned money where it will be appreciated. read more

I called at 1pm and they were able to see me at 2. Pedicure wad awesome and my no chip manicure looks great. The only reason I didn't give this place a 5 is because I chose a color that I wanted for both my mani and pedi but noticed after I left that they were to different shades after I left. My toes are like a wine red and my nails are more of a deep purplish burgundy if that makes sense. I always like my nails and toes to match. I'm sure I could've went back but I just didn't have the time. Next time I just have to make sure the color matches both. read more

Just went here for the first time tonight for an acrylic nail fill. The woman did a wonderful job. Quick work, even length and filing, great polish job. Large assortment of colors. They take card but prefer cash tip. I recommend! read more

If I ever go back it will only be because of Tim. I called in advance to ask if they did hard gel nails. I was told yes & to come in at 3. I explained I did not want a full nail extension like acrylic. I wanted hard gel that is built into a form on your natural nail. Especially because I wanted a short natural look. I even got there early and waited patiently. Was put into a chair and she started drilling which was fine. But when she pulled the box of gel-x nail extensions I again said I wanted hard gel. Not listening to me she just started glueing away. When I asked again if this was not hard gel she became frustrated and said "you said not acrylic this is gel, you're changing what you asked for". And just continued glueing them to my nails. I've never had a worse nail experience. And then to be talked about to other nail techs while I'm sitting right in the chair- extremely distasteful. My appointment was over in less than an hour. No cuticle care. Not even cuticle oil at the end. And I've never hated my nails more. Like I said- if I ever go back it will only be for Tim. read more

Treated myself to a mani pedi at Vie's tonight. They have great nail polish selection, no chip options and lots of new lines of nail colors. The staff are super friendly and there's a good atmosphere among everyone who works there from what I can tell. I went at around 7pm on a weeknight and everyone was busy so I had to wait a fair amount. That said, when it was my turn, the staff took their time and gave me the whole treatment- I didn't feel rushed. They were apologetic about the wait and made a point if saying they want me to come back. Overall- $35 for a mani pedi in a clean, friendly environment is great. This place has been in business for nearly 15 years for a reason. Definitely check them out!! read more

Amazing quality gel manicures and acrylics. These manis last a minimum of two weeks. Customer service is always excellent.

This nail salon is awesome, I'm sad I moved away from it. I went there over the course of 8+ years. Tim and his team are professional and hard working. I frequently went for mani/pedis and sometimes no chip mani's. They are popular so I recommend making an appointment if you don't want to wait! read more

Really liked this spot! I hate going to new nail places, but I had a time limit and my normal spot was busy. Due to the good reviews and the fact that many people noted Vie's Nails' cleanliness, I decided to try it. I was really pleased. No frills (aside from a really comfortable massage chair), but really friendly, nicely priced and a great spot to get your nails done. My feet needed attention and they were nicely taken care of. I will definitely go back! read more

Very nice nail bar, great prices and great service. I always get acrylics and they stay on better than most places', and they're willing to try and copy the pictures I bring in. They are pretty aggressive about asking you to pay in cash, and they add random surcharges if you really have to use a card. read more

I am incredibly happy to have Vie's nails open again, and was pleasantly surprised to see the renovations and sanitary upgrades since I was here last. The salon has always been sparkling clean and organized, but the fresh coat of paint, new spa chairs and nail technician stations have given it a complete face lift. They have also put in all the necessary precautions to ensure the safest environment for both their staff and clients. Vie's nails always does a fantastic job whether it is a regular mani pedi or no chip manicure (which truly never chips). Every technician takes their time and the result is always perfection. I highly recommend Vie's nails for anyone in the Lakeview/Roscoe Village area - they are the best! read more

OBSESSED with my nails. Walked in on a weekday afternoon without an appointment and was seen right away. Li was so sweet to help me choose a color for engagement photo shoot. She meticulously did my pedi making sure it was perfect. Another person did my mani and she too was amazing! $55 for a no chip mani pedi. Will definitely be back. read more

The woman who did my nails seemed like she was in a rush even though I had an appointment. She didn't soak my nails and she didn't push down my cuticles on any of my nails...? The only reason I went here was because my cousin went here. Even the first time she went here they did a horrible job. She went back and complained and they fixed her nails for free and they looked great. I don't like the idea of me coming back, wasting more time, and requesting a free service that should've been done the right time. I don't have time for that and will not be back, even if they offered a free service. The reason I give this place two stars is because the woman who did my cousins nails actually did her job and my cousins nails came out great. read more

Best no chip manicure I've gotten in years. Usually they start to peel within a week, but this photo is over two weeks later. I don't think my natural nails have ever been this long! The technician really took his time to make sure the job was done correctly. FYI tip is cash only and there's no ATM. read more

This place is great! It isn't fancy and you won't get pampered but their prices are very reasonable for what you get. I usually get a no-chip manicure and a pedicure every once in a while. They really take their time to do their services and their no-chips are the best I have had anywhere. My nails are pretty perfect when I leave. People are nice but straight forward and hard-working. They stay open late ALL the time for people. I have seen people walk in right when they are supposed to close and they still take them. I highly recommend this place! read more
