The best pedicure I've ever had. Celina was so kind and accommodating, I called very last minute and told them I was flying into Chicago for an event and was hoping to get some help with ingrown nails. Celina squeezed me in to help and was so gentle and assessed my nails, giving me her professional recommendations. After she explained the process of adding the plastic she proceeded to meticulously tend to my cuticles and prep my toes for a wonderful pedicure. The process of adding the plastic piece to my nail was mildly uncomfortable, but very tolerable compared to the pain in my nail before seeing her from the ingrown. If I could afford to fly back every month, I would just to come see Celina. 6/5 stars, thank you!! read more

Celina's Nail Spa is the only nail salon in Chicago that I have found that offers BS Band treatment for ingrown toenails (or curved nails that want to become ingrown.) I also only found 3-4 podiatrist offices that offer this type of treatment. I bought some BS bands online and tried to DIY. Major failure! Thus, my search for a professional! I have 4 affected toenails. Celina actually used a method called ONYFIX which uses a clay-like band that is affixed with UV light. The band is attached to the base of the toenail and grows out with the toenail keeping the nail bed flat and straight as it grows out. I have been coming for almost 9 months and had a few more procedures as the nail bed grows out and a new band is put on at the "new" base. On top of the bands, Celina has done a beautiful pedicure with no chip gel. I am so grateful for this procedure and also to have my feet look so beautiful while "in treatment." Celina has also educated me on the importance of room in the toe area of all my shoes to make sure that there is no pressure on my nails to prevent curvature. I never paid attention to that part of my shoe fit. Celina's Nail Salon is an excellent and relaxing atmosphere for an excellent pedicure and manicure, but my experience is much more because of this nail treatment! I am so thankful that I found her! read more

The best technicians in the city of Chicago! They brought my nails back to health after a bad infection, and they continue to help me strengthen and care for my nails.

Stop scrolling and start scheduling! This is simply the best nail salon in the city. Calming and oasis-like is just the start of the story. What really matters is the superior skill and expertise of Celina and her talented staff.

I'm constantly complimented on my no-chip mani/pedi's and you will be, too. Don't miss this special spot. read more

I want to thank Celina's salon for being so responsive and accommodating. I requested a last-minute appointment (on a Saturday morning) because I had a broken nail and desperately needed a repair. It is so hard to find a salon that does a good job with builder gel structure. Yuliia Korniienko was exceptional. I can't remember the last time I had such a thorough detailed manicure. My nails never looked so good. I was greeted by the owner Celina. I felt comfortable from start to finish. The salon was very clean, professional, and friendly. I have already made my next appointment. read more

This place is amazing! Super clean and covid friendly. I am floored by the quality of this mani. I got a regular OPI manicure 7 days ago and it still looks like this! Highly recommend this spot. It's a "dry manicure" method which is a tad different than the norm - I'm a convert! read more

My first experience DEFINITELY won't be the last!! This is a very late post as my service was the last week in June. However, is was extremely memorable! The atmosphere was clean, not crowded, welcoming and relaxing. They offer an atmosphere and professionalism you would expect from a business. The owner and my technician were very pleasant and my services ( manicure) were performed with EXPERTISE and Meticulously. I would say - close to perfection! In full transparency, I regret not leaving a more accurate tip. This mistake wasn't out of frugality, but lack of knowledge and awareness. I was lead to do my research on tipping practices in this industry using reliable sources and found it similar to most other industries eg.- restaurants, etc. LESSON LEARNED. That said- this is a wonderful small business to patronize and tip appropriately . I am happy that I received the services and experience I expected. read more

Saw great reviews so decided to try this place. Celina took excellent care of my hands and did a phenomenal job on my dip manicure. The nail spa was very clean and they paid extra attention to detail. Celina gave me some great recommendations and I will definitely be back! read more

Celina has been taking care of me for over 2 years, and now I cannot go anywhere else because it just does not compare. Whenever I think of Celina's Nail Spa; words that instantly pop into my head are clean, modern, beautiful, detailed, and trustworthy. Celina takes the time to make sure everything is fresh and disinfected- I am NEVER EVER worried about how sanitary anything is. She is so knowledgeable about her industry and uses the best products for everything from her pedicures to her eyebrow waxes. She uses Footlogix for her pedicures and the products she recommended for me have made a real difference in the health of my feet. She also tinted and waxes my eyebrows. It is always scary to trust someone new with your eyebrows, but Celina is amazing! She takes her time with everything she does to make sure you look your best and that her job is done perfectly. I can walk into her spa and know I'm leaving well taken care of and better than before. read more

I have been going to Celina's Nail Salon for the last 3 years because this woman saved my toenails. I had pretty bad ingrown toenails and was skittish about having the podiatrist correct them. Using a brace system, versus surgery, Celina was able flatten out my toenails and eliminate all the pain they were giving me. Today, I have beautiful toes and finger nails due to her dedication, expertise and experience. Additionally, her spa is beautiful, relaxing, and super clean. Celina and her staff use state of the art tools and techniques too. Thank you Celina! I look forward many more years of beautiful, pain free feet! read more

Celina is an actual Angel! I'm extremely picky about my manicures. Every time I get my nails done someone cuts them too short or they don't shape them correctly and she did them perfect!!!! They were the perfect length and shape! I wanted a simple design for the holidays so I asked her to keep it simple but add a little something and she listened to exactly what I wanted! She will always be my go to girl now!! Updating my original post because she is SO good. I've attached a new picture. She always nails it! read more

I. Love. Celina's. This place is the real deal! Seriously amazing service from these ladies. I went in with my mom on Christmas Eve after a ton of shopping and asked if they were available for two manis and a pedi. They were so sweet and welcoming and made time for us- on Christmas Eve! My mom got a pedicure and said it was the most relaxing pedicure she's ever had. She usually tenses up and gets anxious when they cut cuticles, but Maggie was so gentle that my mom actually fell asleep in the chair! They do such a good job here, our nails look incredible. They're so attentive to detail and really take their time here. (Also, they are both Polish and helped me write a text in Polish to my boyfriend's father, which he loved. It was so sweet of them to help me out with that too!) 10/10, would highly recommend Celina's! We will be back! read more

Celina is a true artist and very talented at what she does. I recently moved to Lincoln Park and was seeking out a place to try my first no chip manicure when my husband and I were house hunting. I was thrilled that we ended up with a home just across the street from her salon, so that I was able to return! Celina's work is flawless. She is meticulous about shaping the nail, cleaning the cuticle, and putting on thin layers of base coat, polish, and top coat. I've only ever had the CND shellac manicures and I believe that is her expertise! No chipping for over 2 weeks! I believe this is because she takes so much care in how she uses the CND system. She also spent over an hour with me and it was easy to make an appointment. I did not feel rushed at all, even when her next appointment had arrived, she still gave me a great mini hand massage. She does get booked quickly, as she is solo, so book in advance. Robert Jeffrey is also a great salon! The space is warm and welcoming, it's super clean, and the front receptionists are great about greeting you. I'm very happy with my manicure and even received compliments from my husband! I won best dressed at a Masquerade Party that night and I definitely think my nails enhanced my outfit! read more

It took me Two weeks to get an appointment at this spa/nail salon and I was very excited to have a relaxing pedicure. When I arrived Katarzyna had me sit down and removed the polish from my toes. She then called over Celina who told me loudly that I had toenail fungus and they could not treat me. I would have to see a podiatrist (she referred me to one) and be treated with lasers before they devices me. Embarrassed I left and promptly made an appointment with the podiatrist. After visiting him I was informed that I did not have toenail fungus, just discoloration caused by leaving polish on too long and layering polishes. I feel like they should have known this since they advertise as a place that does wellness pedicures and not freaked me out and embarrassed me. I will not return read more

I stumbled upon Celina, 2-1/2 years ago, by dumb luck ... taking advantage of a Groupon offer. I expected an acceptable manicure. I didn't expect that she would become my regular manicurist. But she has! Celina is wonderful! She does an outstanding job on both hands and feet. In fact, my feet have probably never looked better. Celina is also a delight to visit with and takes her job seriously. A real professional! Her new salon on Webster is beautiful ... a lovely oasis. During my last visit I learned Celina also does waxing (eyebrows and face, I believe). I haven't yet tried her waxing but I will, and I have no doubt I'll be pleased. read more

You know that feeling when you get the PERFECT mani/pedi? Well, let's just say I hesitate to even write about Celina's Nail Spa because I selfishly want to keep Celina as my well kept secret. I cannot recommend this salon highly enough! read more

Celina did my nails for my wedding and did a fantastic job. I wanted something neutral, so she tried a few different colors on my nails so I could see how they looked with my skin tone. She paid great attention to detail and I could not be happier with the manicure. read more

Celina's is awesome! I'm a little mad at myself for not going there sooner. The service is A+, everyone is super friendly and accommodating. The work is amazing! I really love the way my pedicure came out (even though I'm a picky client) and I loved the entire experience. I'm def coming back and never going anywhere else in the city. Next time, I'll try a mani.. maybe some waxing? In any case, I know the experience will be great no matter what read more

I was referred to Celina by my hair stylist and decided to try the Groupon for her shellac manicure. My nails turned out perfect! I was super late to my appointment and Celina still took her time to give me a flawless manicure. She is a true artist and so meticulous in her work. My no chip lasted 2 1/2 weeks. The full price for a no chip is on the higher side, but so worth it if you want a quality no chip that will last a few weeks. I will definitely be going back. read more

I bought a groupon for this salon and it took almost 2 weeks to make an appointment with Celina. I called to say I was running a few minutes late and she redeemed my groupon and charged me without getting a manicure. Extremely disappointed in her and her staff. read more

So, I had a groupon for two no chip manicures. First impressesions walking in is that the place was nice. It was a hair salon with the little nail place in the corner. She is the only nail technician there per our conversation. The first time I got my nails done, she did a great job. It didn't chip until 11 days after or so. But the second time I got my nails done I was going to Florida for Xmas so I decided to go back for my second round. I chose a pretty maroon color. It seriously lasted about 19 days until the first chip!!! I was amazed! I don't know what she's using but it lasted me so long! I had went in a pool, gone kayaking, gone to the beach and spent several hours in the sun and not one chip. I was completely satisfied and it exceed my expectations. Now some might say she isn't very talkative but I noticed that if you talk to her she will talk back. She does seem like the kind of person that will get the job one done at a good pace though but she may not be all chatty, which I do enjoy because sometimes I don't feel like talking. But the conversing part, I can care less about as long as they are doing their job correctly, which she did. So I was very satisfied and would probably go back and pay full price to get my nails done with her again. read more

Celina's Nail Spa - 17 days post manicure. No chips. Just my nails naturally growing out. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best mani pedi I've ever had! I NEVER get manicures because 1. They usually file the nails a bad shape and 2. The max I can go without chipping is 8 hours. Celinas mani looks beautiful and has already lasted 3 days with no chipping! If you're tired of mediocre-at-best nail service you have to see her. I just hope she doesn't get to busy to get an appointment with. read more

Celina is THE best!!! Ever since I've been going to her for my nails they've been better than ever! She makes sure she takes her time with every little detail she does! No one else has recommended a service to keep my nails looking fresh for 2-3 weeks, I have very brittle nails that tend to chip very quickly, however... Celina knows exactly what to do to prevent that! Thank you Celina for everything! :) read more

Celina did a really thorough job on my manicure. I really enjoyed how meticulous she is because I'm very specific about my nails. She was approximately 15 minutes late for my appointment but I got to catch up on magazines so it was overall a great experience. I'm definitely going back. read more

I bought a groupon to here months ago, have called 6 times to make an apt, have not been able to schedule one that works with my schedule. My groupon expires May 1st so I called the beginning of April just ready to get this done with. Didn't even care if it fit my schedule, just wanted to get it used, was planning on leaving work early if I had to, just to be told they are full for this month. It's the beginning of April....... I told them they need to have more than one nail tech or not post on groupon because they clearly can't handle the numbers. My entire experience has been one big haste. I told them to forget about trying to get me in, I'll just suck it up to money wasted, this business is not worth my time or your money. read more

I will not be returning to this salon. my manicure caused me to get an infection in three of my fingers that required multiple trips to the doctor and a lot of pain. read more

I have never experienced a proper pedicure until now! After years even the best nail salons I have found have never compared to this experience. This is beyond a pedicure. Celina is specialized in wellness pedicures and used tools I have never seen before to properly clean and treat my cuticles. For years I have been suffering with what I learned has been excess skin and an ingrown growing sideways. I have to tell most places to remove and focus on this area, but Celina new exactly how to treat. She explained what was happening and removed the skin which painfully I try to do it myself post every pedicure. This is not like any other pedicure so once you try it you'll question your favorite mani and pedi salon. Her location is super clean. She offers tea coffee and I am eyeing macaroons as I sit and write this review. I haven't gotten to the mani yet bc I had to share this right away as you can tell when you find a place like this in Chicago you want to tell all your friends. Now there's a silky mousse being applied to my feet with a massage so hold on I'm taking a break to enjoy this.....ok back omg so I came in and told her I had a sore throat and she focused on pressure points she said would assist in releasing toxins. She is located across the street from Mandy Bs on Webster. I hope she gets lots of business from this review but not too much so I can still get in, ha ha. read more

I started a job here in Lakeview in 1995. At that time, a co-worker introduced me to Celina to have my nails done. I was truly in awe of the wonderful service that I received and continue to receive from Celina. Over the past 18 years, Celina has moved a few times, but stayed in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area and I have followed her wherever she's gone. Every two weeks, for 18 years, I have gone for my manicures/pedicures. She's been a sounding board for me as my 3 sons have grown and married during this time. I've always had excellent service. She's always on time. And she does a beautiful job with my nails. I continually get compliments from family, friends and co-workers on my nails. She's wonderful! read more

Horrible service. There is a lack of communication with customers and rudeness. Maybe I was the wrong ethnicity but I did not feel welcomed.
