    New Dunkin Donuts collection. Banana Split with complimenting colors and unique nail art.

    I really enjoy a good Mani & Pedi! And on my quest to find or try various salons, I tried a polish works. I entered the Salon and I was greeted with cheerful "hello's" the atmosphere was cozy, warm & inviting. It was definitely an experience. I've been back at least 2 more times and the energy have been consistent cozy & inviting. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming and they care about you nails & comfort. If you're in the area, check them out! I'm sure you'll be satisfied!

    Worth the wait!!! Be patient and book your appointment.

    This was a perfect Valentine's Day weekend to get a perfectly red pedi done by Shakela Thank you for taking care a Queens feet and pamper me like never before(that tub took me out!!) The salon is very comfortable and chic. I will definitely be back to keep my work polished

    They didn't deserve any stars I went to get my nails done on a Friday I had a 3:00 appt. after spending $65.00 on a manicure & pedicure by Saturday before 1:00 not even 24 hours later 8 of my nails were chip they used old polish on my nails & my toes weren't done correctly either when I called I spoke with the manager & the next day Cami the person that did my nails & I told them they used old polish on my nails because the lady next to me was getting white polish too & her nail tech told the assistant to go get her another bottle of polish that this polish was old my nail tech said we don't use old polish after I reminded her of what was said she said oh & they both said they don't guarantee their work my response was wow really now I'm out of 65.00 I don't recommend them terribly service

    No chip manicure! The pedicure was awesome as well!

    Had an AMAZING SPA day! Walking in the salon was very warm and welcoming! Gorgeous decor! Monica was very professional and personable as she took care of my nails today. My pedicure was great from start to finish. She recommended some tips for at home care! She took her to time and asked questions along the way to make sure I was comfortable. I really appreciate a salon that focus on great customer service. The salon is also very clean! Right after your service, the utilities are cleaned properly! The color selection is great as well! I had a hard time just picking one! Support great black owned business!

    I've been getting my nails done here for years and have to plans to change that anytime soon! I love the convenience of being able to book my appointment in advance online and walk right in. This shop has a calm and relaxing environment (very spa like) and the staff is always friendly. They are extremely sanitary in this shop with the tools and the foot tubs which gives me peace of mind! There is no strong chemical smell when you walk into the shop. Very large selection of polishes (no chip and regular). A also really love their point system! You gain points with each visit and also by booking online and can apply them towards your future services! Give this black owned business a try!!

    Inside the shop!

    I have been coming to this location regularly for different braid styles, braid takedowns, as well…read moreas hair treatments and the employees as well as the manager are very kind and customer focused. I do feel like their staff go out their way to make sure the customer is comfortable as well as heard. Anytime I have no idea what I'm scheduling, they'll walk me through what to book and the prices are upfront. I also appreciate the various ways you can pay, and again they're very upfront about their policies. Check them out and see for yourself. I know they have tons and tons of other services besides braids, they do color, twist, dreads, etc. I've felt so comfortable there. I do enjoy my visits to this salon.

    Well, I never thought I'd be writing this but I guess I should have read the salon reviews about…read morethe manager/salon rep being rude and unhinged and "banning" people who complain about their behavior. Looks like they double down and reject constructive feedback from people who have had similar experiences so I won't hold my breath for a civil response. Up until now I had had excellent service from Jeff and the team and this entire interaction was so incredibly bizarre. I received a text this evening stating my appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning was in the "middle of Jeff's" day and asking if I could move it to accommodate an install. I responded that I'd made the appt to accommodate my work schedule and then provided a time frame within their request that I was available. What followed was a series of agitated responses like "who are you talking to like this" which is so weird because I gave my availability to change appointments and the repeated it. At this point, I thought, this has to be a spam account because nobody would allow someone to represent their business this way. I tried to remain calm while firmly requesting that I be contacted by a manager or my stylist directly because this was such a weird response. I requested the person not to contact me again and they said they would be canceling my appointment and that "Jeff was ok with it" since I was "being nasty". Luckily, there are many talented Salon teams in Chicago who have staff that can communicate effectively and resolve conflict but I am sad that this salon isn't one of them.

    I visit Jasmin's every month (and have been for the past year and a half) to get my eyebrows…read morethreaded. Jasmin does a fantastic job, and knows just how to shape my eyebrows in a manner than most flatters my facial features. I always leave the salon satisfied with the quality of service. I have also received two pedicures there and have liked them, especially for the price and the time and effort the pedicurists put into their work. You do not need to call ahead if you want your brows threaded, but I recommend that you call ahead if you want a pedicure. The ambience is simple and almost hole in the wall--it's not the kind of place where you want to linger for too long. I've never experienced issues with cleanliness. One caveat: the thread used during the threading process tends to be on the thicker side. This sometimes causes small cuts that heal in a day or so. I use tretinoin (though I do not use it the day before and the day of threading) and have thick brows, which could perhaps be contributing to the cuts. Overall, I highly recommend the threading services at Jasmin's, especially when they are offered by Jasmin herself!
