If I could give 10 stars I would! I have been to many other Chicago salons, including in the loop, where I live. I still travel back to Gloss every two weeks so I can get a pedi & gel fill. I LOVE Gloss they have the cleanest salon I have ever been to. The staff is also completely amazing. They are very nice & talented. I usually get some semi-complicated design that they complete to perfection. Definitely check out Gloss you will not be disappointed! read more

I have been going to Gloss Nail Salon since it opened, and I am a VERY loyal customer. Basha does great no chip mani's, and she is very proficient with the waxing. Plus, you won't find a cleaner salon in the area, hands down! (Pun intended, of course) .....Gloss is slighty more pricey than your typical neighborhood nail shops, (especially of the Asian persuasion) but you pay for quality, and cleanliness! Very close knit group of gals working in there, and like "Cheers", everybody knows your name! Very friendly staff , and the buzzer on the front door DOES provide a certain sense of security.....this is Chicago after all, and Gloss is also a female-orientated shop! read more

I hate this place .. came in here on a budget and lady kept doing more than I asked but I thought she was just being nice then ended up paying 55 dollars just for my nails!! Never have spent that much then not even a week later I've lost 4 of them and 2 are broken .. lady bashed the Asians technique but theirs always last atleast 3 weeks ., never going back here read more

bikini wax was top notch. Lucy was great and very accommodating. Did I mention F A S T? Brazillian in 15 minutes flat without breaking a sweat. About to pick up the phone for another mani/pedi appt. read more

Everyone was super nice, but for $50 my gel nails didn't come out the greatest. I would go again to give them another chance, but only for a regular manicure/polish and pedicure. read more

I use to go the Garfield Ridge Spa and Salon but then I found Gloss. The staff is friendly, the salon is clean, and they have so many nail colors to choose from. They frequently get new colors to change with the seasons and styles. They will definitely have what you are looking for. read more

Last Wednesday had extensions and my nails dipped, which is suppose to last 3-4 weeks. They looked ok when I left there, but not great. 3 days later- 2 popped off. I was out of town, and stopped at Walgreens and bought some glue and glued them back on. The day after, 2 more popped off. So 4 popped off within just a few days. Unfortunately due to my work schedule, I was unable to return here to get them fixed and went to another salon. Thank god I did go to another salon because they did them correctly and they look amazing. They do not know how to do dipped nails and will not be returning here again! read more

Called and made an appointment for same day. My nail tech made suggestions on my no chip as there were too many color options. I am very happy with the final results. I will definitely go back again. Good prices and pleasant experience. Oh, I also got an eyebrow wax - decided to last minute. This is my kinda place. read more

I went in for a simple polish change b/c I was running a little early for the airport. They have a nice variety of color choices, but I'd say that's the only good thing that's going on here. My polish change was nice and quick, which is good too, but the lady doing my nails (who I think is the owner?) didn't say one word to me. I don't need to sit there and talk the whole time, but maybe a simple "how's your day" or something like that would have been nice. There are only 3 pedi chairs and 3 spots to get a mani. It's definitely a place you need to make an appointment at b/c there were only 2 people working during the day. The worst part.....the dryers!!! I sat there for close to 20 min with hot air blowing on my nails. A regular fan would have worked better! And they still weren't fully dry when I left! At other places I sit there for 5 minutes and they're perfectly dry! Unfortunately I won't go back again b/c of the dryers. 2 stars for the colors choices...that's it. read more

I went last week for no chip manicure (CND shellac) and I love it Ivona did my manicure... I will be going back again the best part I live 5min away!!! read more

Been here a few times for Brazilian waxing and not sure what the lady's name is I believe she is the owner is the one who does them. She is super nice and makes you feel very comfortable during an awkward procedure. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because she does rush a bit since they are always so busy and I have left with more than a few stray hairs. I still recommend, but would suggest that if you are unhappy or unsatisfied with something to just let them know. They are friendly to the point where I think they will fix what you feel is necessary. read more

Very clean, just very poor customer service. I went with two of my daughters, 1 very satisfied with gel nails. I on the other hand literally got up and left through halfway through my pedicure, right who does that......ll. well I asked if she would cut my nail at the corner and she hurt me so bad, tears in my eyes. Then she replied I get paid to file and paint nails, go to a Dr. if your nail hurts. Really.... Since she was to do my other daughter I decided no way. The owner Barbara is wonderful, but unfortunately poor trained staff made my decision to never go there again. The rude comments the girl made to me after I said that was enough were not even corrected by the owner. Guess what it's. all about word of mouth, just thought I should share my terrible experience. I had Been there 4 times prior and was lucky enough to get Barbara, just my luck tonight I got the miserable one. read more

I literally just walked into this place and asked if I could get a fill in. THEY DIDNT ANSWER they just stood there staring at me like I was a DISEASE. After a minute they told me they only go by appointments and to take a card. They could have kindly told me that right when I asked for my fill in, no but instead they decided to stare at me and made me feel so uncomfortable as if I didn't belong there! Horrible customer service skills. I will NEVER refer anyone to go here. Just plain horrible! read more

I cannot understand for a minute how anyone could give this place a bad review. Very nice, clean place. They offer a ton of nail and waxing services. Super talented nail technicians. Great prices. Highly recommended!!!!! read more

Wonderful customer service, very clean shop. I got one of THE best pedicures ever from Basha. I would definitely recommend. You must/should make an appointment. This isn't really a walk-in type of place. They have late hours during the week, which is helpful. Pedicure was $35. read more

I got a pedi here and I thought it was done well. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and the decor is cute. I will return.

They do great work. Got a mani and pedi. Slightly higher than other places but they dongreat work. I would rather pay for nice nails than have my nails look crappy for a cheaper price. definitely need an appointment. read more

I went to Gloss for a no-chip manicure last week and Michelle did a great job. I'd definitely return.

Excellent service, friendly staff,clean and inviting. Gloss has an expansive selection of nail polish colors in gel, powder and traditional polish. I have been a customer for 11 years and am grateful to have this salon in my neighborhood but would travel to it if I had to. read more

On Thursday I visited gloss nail spa to get a gel overlay on my nails for the first time ever. My experience with Justyna was terrific. She has a wonderful personality, she's funny and patient. I was a bit nervous when she pulled out the electric file, but she calmed my fears and did a very beautiful job on my nails. She tried to encourage me to go outside my comfort zone with the nail design, but I declined the offer. Only to find out later that day from my husband, that I should have done what she suggested. He said it would have looked extra pretty. I will definitely be going back to gloss, just as my daughter does. We love it here. Thank you Justyna and Basha! read more

The place is clean and cozy. Ivonna did my no-chip Manicure and a pedicure. Not a great deal of detail to the scrubbing and all but they get the job done. A little pricey but Ivonna did a great job! read more

Gloss Nail Salon - Ivonna was great! She did my manicure no chip and pedicure. Not as detailed as other places for the price but Ivonna was great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Gloss is a great nail salon! The decor is adorable, the place is SPOTLESS, and the staff is always super friendly. I have gotten my eyebrows and mani/pedi's done several times and have always been happy. My only gripe is that they are a little pricey. I supposed you get what you pay for, but sometimes I find myself going somewhere else just because of the price. read more

Had a delightful experience here. Staff was friendly and did an excellent job! Will be returning!

What a wonderful salon!! My Boyfriend and I went to get Manicures/Pedicures after reading the reviews on Yelp. We were greeted and made to feel welcomed when you entered the salon. We were not able to get in that day, but they set up appointments for us the next day. We were the first clint's of the day and received their undivided attention. As other clients arrived they receive the same great attention. The decor is cute. The salon is very clean and organized!! The staff was very kind and talented. You feel like royalty as you set back and they work on your nails. read more

Super clean, friendly staff, great atmosphere! Gina did my mani pedi and did a wonderful job!! It was my first time there and I will definitely be going back! read more

Gloss Nail Salon - My mani pedi and my moms pedicure! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've gone to Gloss for many many years now and Justyna is my nail tech. I love her! And I get compliments on my nails all the time! She fits me in whenever I need a "last minute" appt and takes me right away when I get there for my regularly scheduled appointments. Super friendly atmosphere...would highly recommend read more

Good prices and friendly staff. Made an appointment the day before with no issue, but not sure how easily just walking in would have worked. Be sure to bring cash for a tip, though. Can't add it to the credit card. I'd definitely go back. read more

I wish they had better customer service. I walked in because the other nail salon that I go to had absolutely no parking! I was asked if I had an appointment which I did not. I was given 3 different looks as if they were deciding whether or not to take my business. I understand that this place may not be a walk in place BUT they could have explained that to me instead of judging me up and down to see if they wanted my business. read more

I just got my pedicure and no-chip manicure. Price was good, and pedicure was fine except for the amount of dead skin still on my feet. I get a pedicure about every 5 -6 weeks, and my feet just don't feel like they had any pampering. My no-chip manicure has left me with dead, dry cuticles that are still sitting there and the polish isn't even close to them. I'm sure in a week they will have plain nail showing through. Business is clean, but not much else. OPI products are featured which is a plus. I went here because of the rave reviews. I will try another place next month. They could probably use another person to work there since 2 seems to stretch their abilities to work and answer the phone or speak with clients. read more

I've been going to Gloss since it opened and I love it. The staff is so friendly and they keep the place really clean. I love getting a pedicure there - definitely worth the money. Parking is really easy, too. read more

So clean and pleasant! I was in a hurry and they had me in and out when I needed to be! Dominka was so sweet and did and awesome Mani/ Pedi! I will be back!! read more

I went last weekend for the first and last time. Just moved back to the area from VA and didn't realize my expectations for removing no-chip gel were unrealistic. I do NOT want my fingers sitting in a bowl of acetone. I was informed the owner made the decision to dip in acetone, rather than wrap each finger. I don't want to give a horrible review because the other clients seemed VERY happy and had great relationships with the staff. The salon appeared very clean and my mani was very well done. I do not want my fingers sitting in acetone OR charged an additional fee for removing the gel. (That should be part of the manicure!!) I hope everyone else enjoys their experience. read more

This is a great nail salon! Super clean, super friendly, fast and very comfortable atmosphere. The decor is cute and they use only the best products. Real gel not the fake acrylic blend stuff most of the cheap joints use. Barbara gave me a very nice pedicure. Parking is super easy too! read more

My manicure lasted two weeks!!! A regular manicure. I was so impressed. The salon is very clean and they are very accommodating. I have been there a few times, and have been extremely happy each time. Highly recommend, I will definitely be back. read more

I have been a client at Gloss for several years and highly recommend it. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. I have no problem getting an appointment when needed and I am always satisfied when I leave. It is newly remodeled and the girls pay attention to detail and make your appointment a great experience. Great place to try out if you have never been !!!!! read more

This place is great!!! Think Mario Tricocci mani-pedis at a reduced rate and without all of the snobby patrons. They also offer threading services, waxing etc. read more

Everyone at Gloss Nail Salon is very friendly and professional. I have been going there for manicures and pedicures for the past three years and refuse to go anywhere else. Basia does my nails....and she is always very accommodating considering I seem to schedule my appointments at the last minute. If you are looking for something different when it comes to design, they are very creative and also have no-chip manicures. The salon is very clean and I highly recommend. read more

why did my initial review disappear? This is what I wrote last week and I stand by it: "I LOVE the manicures I get from Sandi! She is one of the few manicurists in the city who knows what oval nails are supposed to look like and she makes mine look fabulous. I am very fussy and it took a long time for me to find such quality work and customer service and it's across the street! Plus, Sandi is always so nice and so accommodating! Just had a great mani pedi and wax tonight before Hawks game. " read more
