    Gel manicure

    Me and my fiancé stopped in for a walk in appointment the day before our wedding for a quick manicure for us both and they were able to fit us in quickly and do a great job! My nails were rough looking but they really took care of the cuticles and had us both looking great. The vibe is super friendly, definitely recommend! They don't do acrylic or anything, so they make sure the gel is perfect!

    Gel manicure - #10

    My nails have never looked more naturally healthier! They don't do any acrylic or dip nails. Only gel and regular polish - they believe in healthy nails. The cuticle care was excellent! Great experience over all.

    It was time for my monthly manicure and I wanted to go somewhere local in my area. I'm happy to give a small business my business, but I was tired of driving around looking for one that was good. So I started looking around in my own area for a salon that had good ratings and was super close. Low and behold, I finally found one. It's not within a 10 minute walk from my house but on a nice warm day, I could take the walk to them - I've driven further! LOL! What a great experience! From making my appointment with Vanessa online, to getting there and being greeted with the warmth that you want from a salon. The ladies were attentive and very meticulous with their work. I love that! They are bilingual, which is huge plus since I had taken my mother with me and though she speaks English, she felt very comfortable speaking to them in Spanish The salon is exceptionally clean and during these crazy times of COVID, they are cleaning everything between customers. The place has a very welcoming feeling and dmyou don't feel like you are just another number... a fabulous feeling if you ask me. I am looking forward to going back. The ladies of Chicago's Best Beauty certainly want you to come back when the treatment is first class!

    Had a no chip mani and love it!! Almost 2 weeks in and still no chip or issues. Looks great. Photo from when I first got my nails done.

    I came here to use a Groupon for a no chip manicure for a cruise. First time ever. The owner was the one who ended up doing my nails. She was super nice, very professional and you could tell she cares about the outcome and making sure I liked them. She took her time, asked if I wanted more coats to get a deeper shade (I selected a lighter neon color which needed several coats). I got my nails done at the beginning of December and they seriously have not chipped over 4 weeks later! So well done! (Why are they still painted after all this time? ..too lazy to remove. Don't Judge.) I recommend this salon and would definitely go back!

    5 days in with this excellent no chip mani! Will be back!

    This is a Logan gem! Fiancee and I went for a mani and pedi here for the first time. The staff is wonderful, super friendly and helpful. The salon is beautiful and very clean. Their services are excellent and work detailed...not one complaint! Great atmosphere, work and people at a fair price...we will definitely will be back! My partner even said he enjoyed going...they made it very chill and comfortable for him...score! My no chip mani is 5 days in and still looks great!

    I wanted to love this place since it's close to me. But when I got home and took a closer look, my cuticles are cut up and the shape of my nails aren't even. The people there were sweet, it's just not good quality.

    I just received one of the best and most relaxing pedicures I've ever had! The massage was great, and really got a lot of dead skin off. The owner of the boutique is amazing! She is a hardworking and sweet mother who really knows what she's doing. She was very accommodating and nice to chat with. I would definitely recommend this place, but make sure to make an appointment since it is a small business. Also loved the decor, very artful!

    Love it! She was so nice!

The pedicure chairs and foot rests are unfortunately just not for me, they were kind of uncomfortable and made it hard to relax. Even though my nails looked great as soon as they were done, they chipped within the first week of my vacation. I had gotten no chip gel polish on my hands and feet so that was disappointing. Overall loved the salon, just wouldn't get my nails done before an occasion or vacation here again.

My technician was cutting my…read morecuticles and they cut too deeply to the point where it drew blood, which was obviously quite painful. Accidents happen and so I don't necessarily think that this is representative of their abilities, but she also didn't really do anything to put me at ease that it was getting disinfected for the rest of the service. I also booked one of the more elite pedicure options (NOT just a polish change to say the least), but the tech barely got any of my dead skin off which I would've expected in my very extra service option of a pedicure. What I found the most shocking was that despite making me bleed, before they went to paint my nails they came to me with a QR code to give them a 5 star Google review, which I think was quite bold to do as my toe was still red and bleeding lol. I'd imagine if you made your customer bleed you'd probably want to offer some sort of consolation rather than forcing them to submit a positive review. Based on reviews it does look like people are overall happy with their results, and again, I don't necessarily think that one accident should define the overall abilities for a tech (which is why I am not naming), but from this experience it kind of seems like some of these reviews may be getting forced during the service as that is what happened to me. Separately, I think some of their sample colors don't actually match their nail polishes - the color I chose and what ended up on my feet ended up being two different tones where I thought I'd chosen a peach pink and it came out super cool toned.

    I am updating my review to provide clear evidence of what actually happened. In their response to…read moremy Yelp review, they claimed that I was late to my appointment, which is simply not true. They were the ones running behind due to another client, not me. At the time, they acknowledged this and offered a voucher as an apology, which is the only reason I gave them another chance and returned. When I came back, they refused to honor that voucher, saying it was "over a month old," despite never communicating any expiration date or conditions in their message. There was no mention of a deadline, required response, or any policy tied to its use. Instead of taking responsibility, they publicly called me dishonest and reduced their offer to a 15% discount. This experience shows a clear lack of accountability and professionalism. I gave them a second chance based on their own promise, and they failed to follow through. I recommend going elsewhere if you value honest communication and reliable customer service.

Staff were all very friendly and both my dipped manicure and my pedicure were equally great in regard to service. My dip manicure was $55 and the basic pedicure was $38. Both came with great massages! I'm very please with the attention to detail and shaping for both my mani and pedi, both done by two separate people, D and Anna. Separately, the person who I believe is the owner was super friendly and kind to us! They do prefer cash which is understandable but do take card and you can tip through Venmo which worked just fine for me. The main standouts for me were the parking lot, the friendly staff, attention to detail and how clean it was. It makes sense why they were busy! Looks like VS Nails may be my new nail spot, thanks for a great visit.

    I needed my nails done for an October 2024 wedding and found Ipop Central. They had glowing reviews…read moreso I booked an appointment over the phone with owner Mylinh the week of the wedding. MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.
