    DO NOT GO TO THIS NAIL SALON! THIS IS YOUR WARNING. DO. NOT. GO. I had an appalling experience at this salon that not only demonstrated a complete disregard for basic professionalism, but also raised serious questions about licensing and training. I came in for a Gel-X set and a pedicure--services I've had many times at reputable salons without issue. What I received here was not only sloppy but flat out dangerous. The nail tech, Cindy, cured glue directly onto the skin of my fingers. This isn't a minor mistake--it's an egregious violation of industry health and safety standards. Curing nail adhesive on the skin can lead to severe allergic reactions, including medical grade adhesives like those used in titanium implants. This dangerous exposure can create allergies, contact dermatitis, and obviously pain. This is not just poor workmanship--it's a liability. When I calmly addressed the issue, the man at the front desk confronted the nail tech in front of me and other clients, demanding an explanation. Cindy deflected all responsibility and claimed it was my fault for choosing Gel-X, stating my nails were "too small." If that were genuinely a concern, she should've refused the service up front. That's what a professional does. Instead, she went ahead, botched the job, and placed the blame on me. The nails were misshapen, uneven, and painfully thick--chunky to the point of being unusable. I could not use my fingers. She also cut me multiple times. I normally do my own nails, and frankly, I could have and should've have done better with a basic kit at home. They refused to soak off the set, refused to fix the issue, and refused to issue a full refund. I was told to "go somewhere else" for a correction and only received a partial refund ($40). For context, I spent $120 at this salon for these basic nails and a pedicure. The pedicure chipped the same day and also looked terrible. All of this happened the day before prom. I then had to go to another salon, pay $65 out of pocket to have the nails safely soaked off and redone correctly, and explain the situation to professionals who were frankly shocked by the condition of the set I arrived with. The nail techs at the other salon were impressed with the pricing and job done to my nails. They also expressed just how terrible these nails were. To make matters worse, I was hung up on multiple times when I tried to call back and escalate the issue. No apology, no accountability--just dismissal and silence. This place operates with zero concern for customer safety, zero accountability, and questionable training at best. If Cindy's work reflects the salon's standards, it's hard to believe she's licensed at all. Avoid this salon at all costs. There are too many qualified, responsible nail techs out there to risk this kind of experience. DO NOT GO.

    gel manicure

    The BEST nail salon in the area!!! I consistently get gel manicures and pedicures - never a bad experience

    Helen is the exceptional!! She does a magnificent job with nails! I always get gel and it literally looks great for three weeks! I've been using her since NORTHBROOK opened and I won't go anywhere else

    I thought I was crazy reaching out to makeup artists 10 months before my bat mitzvah, but crazy…read moreenough a few were already booked! Fortunately, Nikki, who seems to do the makeup for the majority of North Shore mitzvahs had availabilty. We had a test run for my daughter's photo shoot back in July and my daughter was absolutely thrilled with the results. She's jumped on the makeup and skincare bandwagon the past year so she was so excited to get her makeup done for the first time...and Nikki did a beautiful job. Months later Nikki showed up at my house for our big weekend. She did 5 of us for pictures and then came back the next day for the big party. When I realized I had a ton of family who wanted their makeup done in a short amount of time I asked Nikki if she had anyone else who could accompany her. She brought along another freelance makeup artist, Christine Putrell, who was so fabulous. They make a good team and everyone loved their makeup. I would definitely use Nikki (and Christine!) for my makeup needs again in the future. In fact, I plan to for my son's bar mitzvah and once again will call way ahead.
