    Nails for our friend's wedding in the fall
    Taylor B.

    Oh, so many good things to say about Glow Nails!!! This is my favorite nail salon I've ever been to in the Chicago area. I started coming here shortly after they opened, having randomly stumbled upon their Instagram with only a handful of followers. Right away, I was impressed with the clean and beautiful space, quality, pricing, and welcoming staff. All of the nail artists there are 10/10, kind, and talented! I've never had a nail salon where the techs remember what we talked about weeks prior. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know the entire team!!! They truly make the salon what it is and bring the best energy. Due to the salon's focus on natural nails, my nails have gotten longer and stronger. I've loved every set I've gotten, and the girls have let me try new trends, such as cat eye and fairy dust. I've loved exploring different nail ideas, and the artists at Glow always do an incredible job executing any ideas you have. I've also had a few great pedicures here. The pedicures have been so relaxing, and my feet always look incredible after, no matter how rough of shape they were in when I walked in. I appreciate the time and care they put into all their services. I have recommended Glow Nails to so many friends in the area and will continue to do so!!! I wish I had more photos of the nails I've gotten done here, as I've had so many wonderful sets, but I'll include some favorites.

    Live near by, didn't know glow opened. Went to today and was very impressed. It's a big space, everything is clean (which is important for me when I look for a nail spot) I was able to be seen by the owner which was nice because she chatted with my friends and I and she was very personable. She was honest about pricing and if we truly didn't need something and how it may or may not look.

    Highly recommend! Alice was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job before my trip to Cancun! Loved the atmosphere of the salon, price was totally reasonable, and I will definitely be going back :)

    Stumbled upon this place in the neighborhood, and stopped in hoping for a walk in appointment. Lynda (the owner) is super sweet and cool and gave me the best French manicure!! I've had my nails done twice here now, and I'll be coming back as often as I can. :-)

    This is my new nail salon. I cannot even tell you how amazing the service and skills are at this salon. Angie, Alice and Yuki are all so warm and talented. From the first time I went there, it was like being with family. They do not rush the services which I really appreciate. I have gotten so many compliments on my nails since I started going there. I will never go anywhere else.

    Out of towner here whose main nail care is a pedicure every 3 months…read more My sister-in-law took me and my mom out for a girls day Christmas week and what a fun experience. 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. It's clear this place is investing in the space - which makes a nicer work environment and experience for all.

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.

    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.

    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.

The nail tech, (Nam) doesn't speak English but pretends to.This is particularly annoying because she can't follow instructions. $70 mani pedi. Both were half-assed. Pedi: After cutting my nails, I asked her if she could go shorter safely- without making them too short. She nodded and cut the big toenail so short she drew blood. This is when I suspected she couldn't understand me. No massage, scrub cream was applied to my legs and then rinsed off-no scrubbing. No real attempt to get rid of calluses. Mani-my nails are on the shorter side and I just wanted them to all be the same length and shape. I had to correct her several times because she wasn't following those simple instructions. Some of my nails ended up lopsided anyhow. No hand massage, no lotion and sloppy polish application. I had to ask her to redo several nails. When she's done, she takes me to the drying table, tells me how long to wait and starts to leave. Until I call her back to turn the drying fan on. (I couldn't find the switch). She stomped off, never to be seen again. I had to ask one of the other techs to bring my bag and shoes over, because she didn't. This was very disappointing.

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.

As you can see in the photos, the salon is beautiful. I asked the owner and she said they've been open 2 years in that location (so I was surprised they weren't on Yelp!). I went in for a dip manicure (which is hard to find around here, WHY!?). I didn't have an appointment. They quoted me a 20 minute wait, which was fine, and I sat in a pedicure chair while I waited so I got a little back massage! A few things: 1 - The colors were organized so nicely on the wall but were really limited. It wasn't until I was looking for 5+ minutes when the woman working told me there was a book with more colors. 2 - This was the fastest dip manicure I've ever had in my life. It wasn't a bad thing. In fact, I don't enjoy sitting at salons forever waiting for my nails to be done. But the shaping of the nails is a bit funky, they look like bubbles, and it's thick. She clearly rushed through getting them done. They look fine though, overall. But if they were trying to close or just couldn't take me, I would've found another place to go to. 3 - The cost was $50. I did not get lotion or a massage or anything. It was a no frills service, which again, was fine for me this time around. But I don't think I found **my place** yet.

When i moved to chicago, it took me 4 tries to land on a place i liked. THANK GOD FOR SUPER NAILS! I can HANDS DOWN say that Super Nails is THE BEST pedicure/acrylic job I've ever had. Pedicures: I have 4 toenails that have been ripped off multiple times. Mya and Wi are 2 of the best nail technicians. Being gentle while cleaning them, but doing a very thorough job. Mya's pedicure on my first visit to Super Nails is what hooked me. They also do acrylic toenails. Acrylics: I like to change my shape up every so-often. I go between square, coffin, and stiletto shapes every few months. My coffin nails have hard corners with a perfect dainty flat top, and my stilettos are pointy and fierce and make for excellent back scratchers. Again, see Wi or Mya.

I continued giving them chances despite a couple disappointing experiences in the past, but after today I've decided I won't be returning. I went in for my usual gel manicure and regular pedicure. During the manicure, the technician suggested trying something "new" after applying the normal coats of polish. She tested it on one nail and asked if I wanted it on the rest. At no point was I told there would be an additional charge, and it was presented as part of the manicure experience, not as upgraded nail art. When I checked out, I was charged an extra $15 for what they called "artwork." I was surprised because the additional cost was never mentioned beforehand or approved by me. If a service costs extra, customers should be clearly informed before it's done. What was most disappointing was the response when I questioned it. Instead of acknowledging the lack of communication, I was basically told that was just the price. As a long-time customer, that felt dismissive and frustrating. This was also not my first negative experience here. On a previous visit, I ended up leaving with only clear polish after being unhappy with the quality of the service, yet I was still charged full price. The issue is not simply the extra $15. It's the repeated lack of transparency, poor customer service, and feeling like customer concerns are brushed aside rather than addressed.
