VIP nails was great. The lady who did my nails was very nice and did a great job. When they didn't have the color I asked for, she found a very close suggestion that worked out wonderfully. The salon was clean and comfortable. read more

VIP Nails - My bridal shower no-chip manicure (a week after getting them done) - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

I was disappointed. I just moved to Arlington Heights and needed to find a new nail salon. I came across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I was easily able to make a same day appointment. When I arrived, no one was there and the shop was locked! I waited a few more minutes & called the shop and they said someone would be there soon. I'm guessing this place only has someone there if they have a scheduled appointment - however it definitely frustrated me that my nail tech was late. Once inside, I was impressed with the color selection and how nice and clean the salon was. The tech did a great job on my gel manicure and my pedicure. However, since I was the only one there she rushed me to leave and didn't check if my toes were dried- so by the time I got home all of the polish was smeared. I tried calling to schedule a time to get it fixed however never received a call back on the voicemail I left. read more

Although they did a good job doing my nails when I went there for the first time, I got no chip done, but within a week, my middle fingernail chipped (see photo), so I stopped by to ask if they could redo the middle finger but the lady at the counter said we don't guarantee even if it's no-chip polish . I consider this very poor customer service so I will not be returning. read more

VIP Nails - Their No Chip polish chipped within 1 week! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Got a pretty good pedicure and manicure from this salon... forgot I have been here before when it was under some E. Euro management with disgruntled women that seemed to be angry they had to perform their job... Anywho I digress... the ambiance is barebones but clean. The manicure I got from Oka was excellent, the pedicure was good... but that tech left and handed off the manicure portion to Oka. Ill go back and refresh my current gel mani soon I think... they are close and I liked the conversation. Oka is cool. ;) read more

Love love love this place. I came to see Oka when she was in Randhurst village and was very happy with how much time and detail she puts into her work. She is so sweet and makes you feel at home while she does your nails. I came to her new salon a couple weeks ago and was blown away with how beautiful it is. Everything from the wood floors and new pedicure chairs to the beautiful chandelier. This place feels chic and spa like. I came with my friend and we both were so amazed. Oka's sister is working with her for now and she also does an amazing job. This is my go to nail place now because you can't beat the quality of work and products they use at this salon. I got the no chip manicure and I am going on over 3 weeks still with no chips just grown out. If your looking for a nail spa this is the place! read more

Clean, bright, and beautiful. A grey-silver color palate in cool-hued tones, expensively-styled artwork and decor, and the low murmur of the television create a luxurious yet welcoming environment immediately upon stepping inside. To the right is the check-in desk and blow-dry beauty bar; to the left is the nail polish wall, probably more than a hundred bottles and only ever growing with time. This salon has excellent hygienic standards and cleanliness practices as well. When doing your nails, the technicians are careful and meticulous. This is where you want to get your nails done, and how you want them to be done. Technicians take their time, which isn't conducive to a quick visit but rather to a true unwinding experience. Have been coming here for at least a year or two now, and love Uka, the wonderful woman who runs this establishment! read more

I was disappointed. Went for a mani-pedi. I wanted to try Dazzle Dry. The pedicure was not good. The lady barely scrubbed off the dry skin on my heels (which are super rough the next day) and was using an old scrubber that was worn out which scratched my feet. I didn't see them using disinfectants to clean the tubs after customers and I pay close attention to that. The plastic tub liner isn't good enough as bacteria grows on the drain which is under the water. The manicure was ok. Once again she barely removed my cuticles and the paint job was not precise as some nails don't go all the way to the top. We shall see how long the Dazzle Dry nail polish lasts as it's supposed to go up to 2 weeks. The place is newly remodeled but I don't care about that. I care about sanitation and precision and quality. The folks were nice enough but my review is on the service, not the space or the people. read more

Went in for a no chip manicure and a regular pedicure with my friend who was here before. I love this place. Very clean and bright place, quiet and friendly atmosphere, very welcoming staff. They listen to why I wanted and delivered. I will define be back. Thank you. read more

I was excited to try this place due to the great reviews. The appearance and the ambiance of the place is modern and very inviting, but the actual manicure and pedicure was average -- at best. For $45 my mani pedi did not include a foot massage or a good pumice scrub, and my rough heels remained rough. Further, my mani was "painted outside the lines" and was chipped by the end of the day. read more

Lovely salon! Moved back to this area not too long ago, so was in search of a shop nearby. Came here and asked them to do deep french, no-chip nails and they said no problem! Very fast at their job, lovely hand treatment at the end. All of the ladies are very kind and pretty. I especially liked this place because there is no strong nail polish/acetone odor like some other nail salons. Very clean place. read more

The best nail salon in the area! Oka the owner, Tess, and the other nail tech named Oka are amazing. Each visit I leave happy and relaxed. The salon is beautiful; Oka keeps it meticulous and the decor is modern but yet relaxing - their music they play are Sounds of a Spa, super soothing. There's no smell of chemicals and nail grinding. They are very professional. I hate going to a nail salon hearing gossip and chit chat amongst nail techs. At VIP Nails, they give you all their attention and want to ensure you have a great experience. Lastly, they're great at time management. Oka and her team time their services very well that I've never had to wait for a set appointment. Soon as I come in at my appt. time, the water is getting prepared and ready for relaxation. Truly a fantastic experience. I barely write reviews but felt compelled to ensure Oka and her team are here forever! read more

VIP Nails - No chip mani - Perfect job - Nail Salons Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

I was extremely happy with the first couple visits.. All I'm really looking for in a nail salon is a clean salon that practices good hygiene. And, if the salon is providing special nail services that they are following the steps correctly so that the gel/dip/dazzle dry system lasts as long as promised. In later visits, I'd get a call saying my appointment is inexplicably rescheduled to an earlier time. I call back to tell them that couldn't make that time. Fine come as scheduled. Guess what? I arrive as scheduled and I have to wait for a party of 3 that had been moved into my slot. I stopped coming when I realized that the manicurist was skipping Dazzle Dry steps. Of course the manicure wasn't lasting. I know this because I have the dazzle dry system for home use. Ugh. read more

Edit: got my gel extensions & no chip this morning and they're beautiful! The tech was wonderful, explaining what he was doing and why, and he really took his time to make the nail nice and thin and natural-looking. He's going to have me as a client for quite a while!!! While a full set of gel extensions & gel polish is certainly not cheap at $70, for first time clients they offer 10% off, which is nice! Definitely coming back, a great experience. The only thing I wish is that I had gotten the full prep work experience beforehand too, like soaking the fingers, trimming the cuticle, and shaping the natural nail too. read more

Clean and bright salon, friendly staff. Couple things why I did not give this salon 5 stars. Price is above average but my toes were shaped uneven. Loved the colors and overall experience but I expect flawless job for the price. read more

Oka and Tess were so great! They took care of me and my sister right away and made us feel at home. I love their new nail salon that just opened in Arlington Heights. They had really comfy massage chairs and they play Friends for you to watch (which my sister and I loved). They were super friendly and revealed to us that they were sisters too. We loved talking to them and getting to know them. Will definitely recommend this place 100%! Thank you for my beautiful nails. I love them! :) read more

If you are a detail oriented person and are tired of poor quality no chip manicures, look no further because this is the place!! It's been a while since I've been in and had to go to another nail salon for my last no chip (because of my personal schedule not their service) and it showed. The no chip manicure at this location can not be surpassed. Oka and Tamir can't be beat. I will never go anywhere else again. Ever. Initially, I felt that the prices weren't competitive with nail salons in the area but there's a reason behind that, they don't nickel and dime you for removal or a minor repair. Their no chip easily lasts over a month without chipping or even dulling. This location is clean and quiet but sometimes cold so bring a sweater. It'll be worth it, I promise! read more

Her salon is very clean, especially the pedicure area which is something that's very important to me. read more

Best foot rub ever! New go-to spot. Got a regular mani/pedi, mani lasted over a week. The technician was not very fast, but quality. If you have the time, enjoy. If not, maybe let them know you have a time limit. read more

It is very clean and when you have an appointment they pretty much are on time...a huge plus for me. My problem is I've probably gone 5 times and every time my toes chip in a week and my no-chip last about 10 days, maybe the coats are too thin or rushing it? If they could figure it out, I'd be a regular. read more
