Pic of the wound (on the skin next to the nail on the ring finger) at home- after I cleaned the wound
Ellie K.

I had the new worst nail salon experience :c I used to value hygiene the most when I chose nail salons but I learned my new lesson... not cutting me and making me bleed might be even more important. Not a little cuticle bleeding but actually slicing the skin... which was what happened to me To preface this, I previously visited 7am nails in the loop and enjoyed the experience. I've referred many friends to 7am since then and have been a fan. The only downside of the loop location was that it's closed on Sundays and when I learned that Streeterville location is open on Sundays, i was really happy. I called the general line for 7am (seems like they have a consolidated phone line?) in the morning on Sunday to confirm that I can walk in any time in the afternoon. So I walked in at 2:40 (online scheduling there were availabilities for 2:45 and 3pm). But when I walked it, I was told I had to wait until 3:30. It was strange because the salon was less than 40% full. Since I was already there, I said ok and waited patiently. After 30+ min of wait (which was interesting because while I was waiting, one of the nail techs came over asked me if I was Nancy and when I said I am not, she just walked away. No explanation, no apologies. I was confused and annoyed), my nail tech came over to me waiting. She didn't speak English but she seemed kind. We didn't talk much because she said "no English" but I was ready to enjoy the service, Unfortunately, things started going downhill from there. She was very rough in handling nails and she ended up cutting/slicing into my skin adjacent to the nail (not cuticle- actual skin) with the cuticle pusher. It basically sliced the skin. It was bleeding a lot. I was confused on what was going on but she just blotted it and kept putting on infa-lab magic touch liquid but didnt explain to me what happened, what she was putting on, and I was freaking out seeing blood (we got through more than 1/3 of the bottle of that thing and many cotton pads blotting blood). She kept moving on to other fingers while the bleeding was happening. Then she asked me to go wash my hand and when water touched the wound, it hurt a lot. I came back and told her I can't proceed and left the salon. This was a frustrating experience because I couldn't communicate and what happened here was a genuine health hazard and infection risk. The manager was nice and apologized but it was strange to see the staffs next to her just staring at me... I was there for a relaxing experience and trying to prep for my long out of town trip but i ended up leaving the salon with a cut, which still stings and is causing me discomfort as I pack for the trip and head to the airport. I contemplated a lot before posting the review. I always want to support small businesses. As an immigrant myself, I want to be supportive of those whose first language is not English. But I also want to let others be aware of what happened to me because I don't want this to be repeated.

I have been going to 7am now for the past several months. While there are other nail salons closer to me, and probably less expensive, I keep coming back to 7am due to their high quality health standards, attention to detail, and ease of appointments. I rarely have a problem finding an appointment time that fits my schedule, including Sundays. I jump around between three of their locations, but the Old Town location is my main go-to for ease of parking and color selection. I generally get a gel mani and Dazzle Dry pedicure for my service. I enjoy all the techs, but Tuya was my most recent tech and she was efficient, attended to detail, and gave me a very pleasant experience. I recommend their membership, especially if you get your nails done 1-2x/month. It really saves in the long run.

I found 7am nails on class pass and it was a wonderful place for me to get nail set done for the first time! Everyone was SO friendly and nice - when I entered, there was a locker for me to put all of my stuff and I even got sparkling water while I waited. The front desk even helped me pick out my colors based on the design and explained how pricing works (nail art on 2 fingers is additional $10) My nail tech was super friendly and inviting, I would definitely go again and recommend it to anyone they were also super covid friendly, each station was spread out and I saw nail techs sanitizing after each session They also have a membership package that you could check out if you were interested! $99/month!

For Old Town location: Do NOT come here for gel x unless you have the PERFECT nails for it. I had one of the worst experiences of my life. First of all, during the manicure, the pinky extension popped off. Immediate red flag #1. I've never had that happen before. Normally I get my gel x nails done by another nail tech with ZERO issues that last 3 weeks, but I was back home for the holidays and needed to find a service in Chicago. Second of all my index finger extension popped off NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE. The day after I got them done, I was showering and it came off. I got it repaired. The repair was lazy and done in less than 20 minutes with no real prep or buffing of my nail. I didn't say anything because I had no time to waste and needed to be in and out asap and assumed the nail tech knew what she was doing. THE VERY NEXT DAY, the SAME NAIL pops off AGAIN. I come in and they fix it using a different technique. Fine, it stays on. TWO DAYS LATER, BOTH MY THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGER POP OFF while I am putting my shoes on. I tell them this is ridiculous and all they offer is for me to come in and do a regular gel manicure. I realized later on that I ended up paying almost double for that service because gel x is about 2x the cost ($89) of a gel manicure ($49). I called them and asked them to refund me the difference. They refused because the gel manicure was "complimentary". How is it fair that I end up paying MORE for a service that I DIDN'T WANT in the FIRST PLACE??? I wasted gas and parking money and my time for a service I did not even initially want and I still ended up paying double for it because they don't offer any sort of refunds. Ridiculous. They kept making excuses that I had "oily and short nail beds". This has never happened in my life with other gel x technicians. If you look at the photo provided with my thumb nail bed, you can see it is not even THAT short. Even if it was too short or too oily for their skill level, I should've been notified that this service would not work and been offered any compensation for all this time and money I have wasted. They do not care about their customers time nor experience. I mean seriously how can you expect me to be satisfied just because I got a service for "free" that you offered because you charged me for a more expensive service that only lasted 1 day with no nails popping off. This is a complete nightmare. Not everyone has time and money to throw around.

This was my first time at 7AM nails and I cannot say enough about how great it was! My nails look AMAZING, the service was great, the employees were so kind, and the space was so clean. Will definitely be back!

My cuticles look super clean as done my gel mani, which isn't easy since I keep my nails super short.

from beginning to end, i received excellent customer service…read more i spoke with someone on the phone to book my appointment, and they were very polite. when i arrived, the front desk staff was just as welcoming, and my nail tech was an absolute sweetheart. truly 10s across the board for the entire team. they also offer coffee and water, which is such a nice touch. i got the golden spa luxury pedicure ($90) and a no-chip gel manicure ($48), plus the gel add-on ($20) for the pedicure. the service itself was lovely--my tech was professional, attentive, and clearly knew what she was doing, which always makes a difference. i'm really happy with the results, and after walking all over chicago these past few days, my feet are definitely thanking me! i would absolutely recommend this place and will be returning next time i'm back in chicago.

I moved from LA to Chicago in October and hadn't gotten around to finding a new nail salon until…read moreMarch. After perusing Yelp reviews for nail salons in my area, it seemed the consensus was that Refine was a cut above the rest. I walked in late Friday morning and was seated in a comfortable massage chair for my pedicure within 10 minutes. Mandy took great care of my neglected feet. After a relaxing pedicure, she walked me over to the nail stations for my Gel X full set. At that point, I realized I might be cutting it close to my next appointment that afternoon. Mandy went to work quickly and made sure I got a perfect set of nails in time for my next appointment. The location is convenient with plenty of street parking. The space is beautiful and clean. And the service is friendly and welcoming, including making sure guests have drinks and are comfortable and satisfied. I'm happy to have found my new Chicago nail spot!
