My mom and I got pedicures today and it was a lovely experience. The ladies were so nice, our toes look great, and they now give hot rock massages as part of the pedicure. I highly recommend!! read more

This is an updated review of Creation Nails. Sarah, the best nail technician, remains a constant in this ever-changing nail salon landscape. One of the most refreshing aspects is that the prices haven't increased. I recently had a fantastic pedicure this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised when the owner offered me a mini manicure while I waited for my toes to dry. It's a thoughtful gesture that sets this salon apart from many others. The salon is incredibly clean, conveniently located, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great nail experience. read more

I have visited Creation Nails for regular manicure and pedicure. The place is exceptionally clean, well organized, sunny, nicely decorated. All equipment: pedicure and manicure stations, drying equipment, files, sterilization units, are new and clean. The owner takes each customer as her own responsibility, maintains cheerful and welcoming atmosphere, Raji is knowledgeable, professional, and business savvy. Sarah was read more

I'm so upset. Getting a pedicure at Creation Nails. My 7th one. The lady who said she was the owner scratched my toe so hard it opened the skin at each end. Then when I sucked in my breath and showed her what happened she denied it. Then another came over and showed her to use the softer side of the file she cut me with. Then she had alcohol on her gloves and rubbed it into my scratch. Once again sucked in my breath in pain and she went into a rage when I told her what she did. Denied everything. Then called the police as I was trying to leave literally because I wouldn't agree with her! I'm SO done! read more

I called and within 30 minutes I was to secure a same day appointment. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to have the entire salon to myself. The pedicure was soothing and deeply relaxing. It was nice to feel pampered and not rushed like other places. read more

I highly recommend this place they did a wonderful job on my nails and the people are very friendly and nice and their place is very clean highly recommend read more

I spent almost 2 hours there. My nails look absolutely horrible. I wanted orange ring fingers and black on the rest of my nails with glitter. The glitter is so caked on that it looks like white powder covering my nails. There is also gaps where there is no glitter. My cuticles are shredded from them not listening to me say it hurt when they were using their tools on my nails. I told them I didn't like the nails and they told me they looked fine and didn't listen to my asking them to fix them. I absolutely would not recommend this place at all. I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

I was 5 minutes late for a pedicure appointment.When I arrived I went to pick out nail polish. He came out & said you're late. I apologized. He wouldn't take me. Not even later in the day. He was also nasty & mean. I've been there a few times!!!Never going back. Times I have been there he's alway has the attitude that he doesn't want to be there! read more

I absolutely love this place! I have been coming here since they opened and will not get a manicure or pedicure any where else! All of the girls are great! They are professional and the sweetest ladies! I look forward to my weekly visit! You must try Creation Nails!! I don't understand why Yelp continues to show reviews from the previous owner? read more

So I was looking for a new nail salon because my old nail tech left. I walk into this establishment and I smile and say hello. Nobody responded!! I came in ready to spend well over $80 and was completely dumb founded when no one greeted me. I stood there for 5 mins looking at the price list and still nobody responded! They had one customer who was getting a pedicure. One!!! 3 people were just sitting around. One reading a book and the other two were on the phone texting or whatever. I was so pissed I left! I'll never return here. Terrible customer service!! Terrible!! Save your money read more

I recently went here to get my nails done and I must say I very much enjoyed this place. The ladies were very nice and there were customers that seemed to be regulars when I was there so that's a plus. I love their color options. Also they carry Essie, if you've never tried that nail polish brand I highly recommend it. I got a basic Mani for $12 bucks (before tip). I got my nails done and I got a massage while my nails were drying! Also before she painted my nails, she wrapped my hands in warm towels, and massaged them, it was awesome! The ladies are very nice. Ask for Jenna, she's the one who did my nails. I'll definitely be coming back here to get my nails done in the future! read more

I went to here for the first time and loved it. The employees were friendly , and took great care in ensuring i loved my nails. My technitian was the most friendly and skilled lady.She was cheerful,polite and make sure everything perfect for me.Price are reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxing. I would recommend calling for an appointment on the weekeds as it gets pretty busy. read more

This salon is my new salon tried in the area. This salon is awesome! Not only is it conveniently located , but it is pristine and you can tell that really do take sanitation seriously. Customer service here is the bomb dignity. Price is reasonable and atmosphere was relaxing and everything was very clean. What else is needed? Would. Definitely recommend to friends. read more

Just got a great mani/pedi at Nail Creations. Service was excellent and quick! I think other reviewers are mistaking the service style (business like, and I'm not sure there is a ton of English spoken) with rudeness. As far as I observed, the practitioners were professional and hard-working, and tried hard to give customers beautiful nails...and isn't that the reason for going? Thanks, Nail Creations! read more

Creation Nails - My nails were so chewed up and gross. Nail Creations did a great job! (GO GIANTS!) - Nail Salons Near Me - Buffalo Grove, Illinois

Nice people, very welcoming. Good service and price. Tried only pedicure ($25). Will come back for manicure.

The owner had left a partnership with Shalom Nails- and now has her own place! She took some of the girls and they are all fabulous!! The best part-- their pedicures last WEEKS- best paint job I've ever had. They are kind and welcoming... Go a few times, and most likely they will remember your names and a few things about yourself of you chat with them. If highly recommend this place to anyone! Thanks! read more

If you haven't tried it yet, you should! I have been coming to Creation Nails since Kelly took over ownership in May 2014. Great manicures and pedicures. Love the hand and shoulder massages. Manicures really last well without chipping for at least a week. Everyone is so friendly and greets you by name. Very clean and all tools are sterilized. read more

Amazing place, when I go there to get my many&pedi I always feel special, technicians are very accurate and their nails last for a looong time! And one more important thing that they do pedi for one hour, comparing to many other places around the area. Love this peaceful place! read more

Creation nails is my favorite place and only place I go for a mani pedi and eyebrow waxing. It's always so clean and the girls do an amazing job! read more

I walked into this nail salon while my car was being serviced at Wheeling Auto. Got a very warm greeting as I entered. I didn't have an appointment but didn't have to wait. Had an excellent no chip manicure. This salon isn't close to my home but I will definitely return. All customers we treated kindly. I don't know if there's a retirement community near by but several customers were of retirement age and seemed to be returning there; they got very familiar greetings, called by their name and we're patiently waited on. Very nice place!! read more

I had gone to this salon for several years - almost every week - until the owner sold a few months ago. I have moved on to another salon. I kept going for a few months but got tired of the dismissive approach of the staff. No longer anything special - former owner was attentive, communicative, and she and her staff provided great friendly service. read more

Got a pedicure there a couple days ago and while trimming the cuticles of my feet the technician cut it so short that two of my toes started to bleed. She put a cream or whatever in there to help stop the bleeding but didn't seem to understand that the other oils, sprays, lotions, etc. aggravated the cut. Then whomever did the prep work left and another technician painted my nails. Not sure I really enjoyed the different technicians also, not sure I'll be coming back again especially with my sore and cut toes. read more

I have followed Kelly and the girls from other shops and this is the best. It is cozy, relaxing and clean. The girls are all nice and upbeat. Their work is terrific, I feel like I am walking on the clouds when I get a pedicure. You leave feeling great. I can recommend each and all of the manicurists. They make you feel at home from the time you walk in the door. read more

This was my second time at this salon getting a NO Chip Manicure. The first time I got a NO Chip, I had to go back within the first week to get my nail fixed because it had chipped. The color did not last a full 2 weeks. A NO Chip should last a minimum of 2 weeks without chipping. I decided to give them another try and came back months later and again the NO Chip did not last 2 weeks. I even used a different brand of the no chip color. My nails chipped after 4 days and I had to go back and then all my nails started chipping after a week and a half. I am very disappointed. I've never had this problem at any other salon. I would be giving this only 1 star, but the people are very nice so thats why I'm giving them a 2. I would NOT recommend getting a NO CHIP at ALL! Waste of money! read more

Don't go here uless you want to be ignored. I thought I would check out this local new nail salon for a pedicure so I called and, after conversing with the unintelligible girl on the other end of the phone (seriously, there are so many ESL classes people can take for FREE - why don't they do it??) for two minutes, I was able to get an appt within a half hour...on a saturday! I walk in at my appointed time and noone is up front to greet me. I see three pedicure chairs and only 1 person in one of those chairs. I see two nails stations with two people getting manicures. One of those employees was wearing a surgical mask which made me think....if it's not safe for the employee to work without a mask, is it safe for the client??? Anyway, I sat down and after 1 minute one of the employees doing a manicure says "hi" and I respond "hi" back. Thats' it, no more communication for two minutes. I got up and walked out of there. If they didn't want my business why did they even bother giving me an appointment?? read more

I have been going to Creation nails for a few years now and recommended them to my friends and family. The place is clean, the ladies are very friendly. I love the chairs for pedicure and all those little details such as pillows on each chair for back support, little stools for your purse, great massage at the end, Kelly (the owner) greeting all her customers by their names, warm towels...The prices are reasonable and overall its a great relaxing experience every time. read more

Love Creation Nails and all the ladies there. I have been to many nail salons and have never felt more welcome (once they got to know me) ! The shop is clean and bright. I have a standing appointment every week with Grace and I look forward to it. I would recommend this shop. Call ahead for best results. read more

Will never come back there. Went to the salon for more than a year, however one day they overcharged me and when I told them that the bill is a little bit more than it supposed to be, one of them took the pencil and counted on the paper " 5+8=15 - OK???" and when she finished her math it was still $5 over and she went "it's only $5-OK???????" I didn't get any refund, any "sorry" - nothing, just "ok???" i guess they don't even care that i'm not comming back read more
