From start to finish, my time at the salon was great, and I will definitely be back soon. I'm not someone who does anything particularly unique with my nails, so when I was looking for a new spot in the neighborhood, their pricing of $25 for a regular polish manicure was already an amazing deal to me. I spent time with Mogi who was super attentive to ensuring that my nails were cut, cleaned, and polished to perfection. I've definitely seen variations in polishing practice in a variety of salons, and they do ensure that you have a base, two layers of polish and a top coat before adding drops and drying extensively. She even checked them for me before I left to ensure they didn't smudge. I'm particular about chairs too, and you have enough space to relax and not feel uncomfortable while having your service. Their music they played was also various covers of pop beats but not overly loud. I left feeling decompressed and relaxed with my new set. Thank you again for an amazing time!

Terrible experience. I had a classic no chip pedicure with Lara who was unpleasant from the moment…read moreI sat down. She made several rude comments about the condition of my nails, was demeaning when I asked how to turn on the massage chair that didn't work the duration of the appointment, never inquired on the water temperature which remained cold, and didn't say "thank you," but instead simply walked away without a single word after I scanned her Venmo code to leave a tip even though the service was incredibly unsatisfactory. I do not recommend going here.

The work was ok; nothing spectacular. I am not picky and generally easy to please. I would not recommend this place due to this sneaky tactic. There are no prices posted anywhere and no notification of the price difference. This evasiveness gives a place of business the freedom to charge what they want. Due to this lack of customer consideration, I am not inclined to give anything higher than two stars. I will also have to fix the pedicure myself as there are some discrepancies in the work.

One of the worse nail experiences I've had. Charged me $70 for a gel manicure on natural nails…read more They didn't manicure my nails at all, meanwhile a mani pedi would have been less expensive. Friend went in at the same time, got acrylic fill, gel, and chrome and they charged her less even with chrome. They also told her the wrong price so she was charged twice. They didn't file the shape i asked for, the shape i got wasn't done well. The design wasn't what i asked for either and i adjusted, and it was still done lazily. I had to correct them so many times I felt like an a****** and gave up.

I am happy with the pedicure and they had a nice variety of polish to choose from. This place definitely has a boutique vibe - pretty small and simple. Regular chairs and a round bucket (as opposed to the massage ones with built in foot spa). They don't have any fans or drying tools so I sat and waited for quite a while for the polish to dry. Best to make a reservation because it seems that they have many regulars.

Hands down the best no-chip manicures!! I'm a nurse and work a ton with my hands. Other places I…read morehave had issues with the no chip still chipping, but not here! They last for several weeks no issue. The girls are so personable and we always have great chats. They don't have the massage chairs, so if you're looking for something a little more traditional I would go elsewhere. They also don't do the dip manicures. For me, though, the quality of the nails outweigh the seating situation. The shop is cozy, clean, and always has fun art. I would highly recommend booking in advance. They often don't have time for walk-ins since they have so many regulars, but they are super accommodating/flexible with their schedules.

I went with a really pretty dark brown that I loved! The woman doing the manicure was very detailed on the nail prep before doing the gel polish which I really appreciate -- my cuticles have never looked better!! The manicure turned out great, though I do already have some chipping (only 8 days out), so that is something to keep in mind.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt clean, calm, and welcoming. The team is incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. All technicians took their time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure I was completely happy with the shape and color before finishing. The manicure looks flawless and has lasted beautifully without chipping. You can really tell they care about quality and client satisfaction. I also appreciated how spotless everything was -- tools were properly sanitized and the space felt fresh and well maintained. It's the perfect mix of efficiency and relaxation. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality nail salon in Chicago, this is the place. I'll definitely be coming back!
