I cannot recommend Flawless more highly. I decided to splurge and treat myself to a spa mani/pedi which after the long year that was January 2025 was very necessary. I was able to schedule an appointment with Vanidy for the next day using the Vagaro app. The only issue I had with the app was if you want multiple services that aren't already bundled (i.e. if you wanted a regular manicure and a spa pedicure) then you have to book two separate appointments. Also there's a discrepancy on how much the no-chip upgrade costs (website says $25 but Vagaro says $30; I believe it is $30). I was one of the first appointments of the day, so it was quiet and everything was gleaming. Vanidy got my pedicure chair ready first before having me sit down, which I appreciated. The chair was more modern and the massage feature was clutch. Vanidy was very thorough and treated my feet and legs with care. I opted to add the extra 10 minute massage, which was worth every second. I wish there had been a little more attention on the feet, but having the pressure relief in my calves was needed and appreciated. When we switched to the manicure station, I was pleased to see the furniture was more midcentury than a typical nail salon; made it feel cozier. Again, Vanidy had everything laid out for me and was again so thorough. In recent manicures at other salons, I've had to ask the nail techs to clean up spots where they left polish on my skin or hadn't painted all the way to the end of the nail, but not so with Vanidy. I was pleasantly surprised to get booties and warmer mittens on my hands during the paraffin wax treatment, and I practically melted being so relaxed. My hands were baby soft, which feels like a miracle in this cold winter. I am obsesed with both my mani and pedi and can't stop looking at them. I've been texting friends about Flawless and encouraging them to go, and plan on taking my friend here when she visits in March. While it's pricier than what I normally can pay for nails, I will absolutely be back when I next need a splurge. read more

Love the mani and pedi I got done at Flawless Nails! I was able to make an appointment day of which was so convenient. It's tiny but really cute in there! My nail tech helped me pick out the perfect bright red for my beach vacation. She took her time filing and shaping the nail. I really appreciate this, because I feel like it contributes a lot to the longevity of the manicure. My nails looked perfect for 2 weeks with a no chip mani! I will definitely be back. read more

I came in for a mani/ pedi and I didn't like the color of my toenails, which I voiced, and explained how I wanted my fingernails darker. My fingernails came out the same color if not lighter and no one offered to change either one. I came in the next day to get them fixed and got cut twice on both feet! I expressed how it hurt and later needed a bandaid so that one of the cuts wouldn't rub against my shoe and hurt. From what I read in other low reviews, it seems like they need to train them to not go too harshly with cuticles, mine still hurt. read more

Phan really put the "A" effort into revitalizing my toenails today. They're now perfectly even, and it looks as though she spent hours making them look special for any special occasion, including my belated birthday. Since this was my first time there I couldn't decide between two similar pink colors--one lighter, one darker--Phan applied both individually, one on each foot, to help me pick the one that was the most flattering. So I ended up going with the lighter pink shade as shown in the attachments (OPI). As for the salon itself, it was clean and surprisingly busy for a Thursday afternoon, with all the nail technicians fully focused on their clients. There wasn't any unnecessary drama with customers or annoying distractions, just all-around professionalism. Also the chill, soothing music in the background added to the relaxing atmosphere. Nowadays I'm feeling much more confident when unexpected visitors come over because they no longer have to look-away when seeing my (previously) unsightly feet! Overall, I'm pleased with the service and will definitely be returning. read more

It had been wayyy too long since I'd had a pedicure. I told the nail tech that I'd been hibernating (and it showed). She took great care buffing and massaging my feet and legs back to normal. The massage chair was divine. Usually they don't hit the right spots but this one was great. I didn't have to wait due to having to make an appointment. My pedicure was professional and my feet feel soft again. The price was very reasonable. And to too it off, they have snacks! I believe this is now my go to nail salon. read more

Awful experience. I booked a pedicure and no chip manicure with overlay. After my pedicure was done they asked me what was on my nails now and I said dip. They said they didn't have time to remove the dip because it takes 45 minutes (never takes that long anywhere else) so my options were remove the dip and no manicure or just leave. Very frustrating because they could have been doing the removal the whole time I was getting a pedicure. Very disorganized. They said the issue was caused because I booked online which didn't include time for removal/no one was available for the removal. That's a crazy excuse when it takes five minutes to wrap the nails for the removal. If booking online causes this problem then don't have the option to book online. read more

We each got our nails done and honestly if the experience was like this back home I'd get my nails done way more often! The nail techs were ready for us when we got there even on Christmas Eve Eve. My mom was seated first, then me 3 minutes later then my SIL 2 minutes after me. I'm not chatty at all when I get these services done and I loved the way my tech was on that wave too. Mom and SIL love to talk and were deep in convo with their techs. The manicure itself was thorough - my insolent cuticles were tamed and removed with ease - and the polish job itself was great. I mostly avoid manicures because I chip the polish in 24 hours but here we are 5 days later and my fingers still look like shiny disco balls. Why I would return: -comfortable seating at the nail tables. Sturdy with room for ample bottoms -friendly and efficient service. There is NO NEED to be at a nail salon for hours. We were out in 45 min max including dry time. -welcoming reception. I love seeing my people when I'm out and she was very warm and inviting. So much so when I told people where we went to get our nails done they asked if she was working. -good job on the polish. Clean lines, no smudge, long/lasting. -NO CHEMICAL SMELLS. From a customer side this was nice - I'm sure from an employee side it's even better. -Super clean and modern. Sometimes nail shops can be worn down.

Appointments: They are an incredibly busy nail salon, so I highly recommend making an appointment if you're thinking about getting a service done. They do take walk-ins, but you may have to wait. Service: I have now been to You & Co 4 times. Interestingly, I have learned that my experience differs quite a bit depending on the tech I get. The first time I visited was in the summer because I had a gift certificate. Sadly, my first time was not a great experience. I told the tech that I had ingrown toe nails. She did take care of it, but within a day, my toenail was infected, was painful, and had pus coming out. I almost didn't return. Then, when my salon closed, I decided to give You & Co another shot, since they have overwhelmingly positive reviews, and my first experience could have been a fluke. I wish I got the name of my nail tech for this second one because she did such an incredible job. My gel mani and pedicure were meticulously done, and my no-chip lasted for over 3 weeks. The third time, I had a guy, who was also meticulous. However, he recommended no more than 2 coats on my gel manicure. I get the reasoning so that my nails don't look thick, but unfortunately, my nails started chipping in less than a week. My pedicure lasted for over a month though! The last time I went in December, they were really informative in helping me with some fun holiday nails. I opted for the cat eye nail polish, which I loved. What I generally appreciate about You & Co is that they are quick but mostly detail-oriented. If you're busy, this is great.

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.

While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. 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.

Nails: My nails always come out fantastic. I usually come in for a gel manicure and have picked chrome nails twice. Each time my nails feel strong, last for a few weeks, and my cuticals get cleaned very nicely. The space: The space is clean. There's no TVs for you to watch while getting your pedicure or manicure so I reccomend bringing a book or watching a show on your phone if you perfer that.

There is a lot of polish on the skin around my nail and I can't do much to fix it because it's gel. Peeling it off the sides would lead to peeling off the whole nail. On top of that, they cut my cuticles way too short. I bled during the appointment and have scabs near my nail beds. I can't count this as a bad day because my friend also got a manicure with a different tech today and had a similar experience. My thought is that unless you're going for builder gel or dip, this is not the place.

Came with my sister for pedis. This is her regular spot and I really loved it too!…read more I love the ambiance it's not all white and bright lights like some salons, it's a lot warmer and more relaxing! The staff are all super nice and did a wonderful job (no cuts or bleeding ahah which happens sometimes during pedis but no they were perfect here!) I also liked their temporary shoes more than the rubber ones at other places and love that they give you a baggie with oil in it to put over your feet before putting shoes on to make sure that the polish doesn't get rubbed. I would wear flip flops normally but not during winter in Chicago of course, so I love that they pay extra attention and make sure your pedicure lasts :)

I've been going to Salon Chic for about two years now. I've been in Chicago for almost eight years,…read moreand I can confidently say that Salon Chic has been the best nail salon experience I've had since moving here. I personally see either Sharon or Trang but have also seen the work of other technicians who seem to deliver great quality from what I can tell. Beyond the results which are fantastic, I LOVE the vibe of this salon. I've been to other nail salons that seem a bit "flat" or give an unpleasant vibe. This is not the case with Salon Chic. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, and you can really tell that the staff enjoys working together and cares for one another - cheesy but it makes a huge difference for me. Unless I move to another area where I can't easily get to Salon Chic, I will ALWAYS be a customer of theirs! Thank you, Salon Chic! :)
