Love this place! They do an amazing job, are super friendly, and are very well priced - $30 no chip, $29 if you pay cash! I always call the day of to confirm an appointment, just in case! I just tell him my name and he always remembers me. I've always been able to book same day, and have even changed my appointment 40 minutes before, no problem! They're great with helping pick colors, and even match pictures (I pulled mine form Pinterest, and she totally nailed the color/shape (pun intended)! I got my first no-chip here before a recent vacation, and am so glad I did, because my boyfriend proposed and my nails looked amazing in all the ring pictures! I got lots of compliments! These guys are the best!! read more

After reading reviews for all of the nail salons near Belmont and Broadway, I decided t try Hi-Way Nails. I went at 5:30pm on a Wednesday and was immediately sat in a pedi chair. While I was there, several women had to wait, around 6:15 the place started to fill up, so go early if you can. They run a no-chip mani with a regular pedi special for $50, which is absolutely reasonable. I'm going on day 7 of the no-chip mani and it still looks great. They have TONS of no-chip colors to choose from. I was also very pleased with the pedi. The salon accepts credit cards, and you can tip on the card as long as you tell them before they run it. They've earned my business, I will be going back. read more

I came here based on the Yelp reviews and I thought this place would exceed my expectations. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed. I came in for a manicure and eye brow arch. While the customer service here is fabulous (everyone is talkative, and polite) and they have a great deal of incentives to help save you money, I'm disappointed with my manicure. My mani started peeling off the second day I got it. Usually manis last for about 5 days then they start to peel. I think this might be due to a heat dryer they have you put your nails under. Also, I wasn't pleased with the eye brow arching. My eye brows were still rather thick and not quite arched. read more

I got the $12 manicure (with tip $17) and had an overall good experience. I was lucky to be able to walk in and be taken care of in less than 10 minutes. Patrons arriving after me were not so lucky; many of them left instead of waiting. The manicure itself went well, however, it didn't last long at all. One nail began chipping 4 days later, and four nails followed the next day. I was expecting them to last a week before chipping, especially since I was very careful with my nails/hands the past 5 days. I'm hesitant to go back read more

Wow. Best ever. I came in for a full acrylic set, with French tips, and it cost me ~$30. (They have a discount if you pay cash!) Quang is the only one in the shop who does acrylics, so make sure to book ahead! He's amazing. It being my first time, he even played a practical joke on me... I felt so welcomed and will definitely be coming back. Hands down, best nail salon I've ever been to, and my nails look fabulous. Make sure you call ahead though. The line can get pretty long! read more

Wonderful experience; my mom and I stopped in on a Tuesday morning and both of us got great pedicures! I got a full acrylic set and I love it so much! The salon is bright, the staff is inviting, and I would absolutely recommend stopping in! They also offer a discount if you pay in cash :) read more

I have been coming here for several years and should have written a review a LONG time ago. The staff here is absolutely amazing! No matter what look I am trying to achieve, they do a phenomenal job. If I show them a picture, they achieve it. No-chip, dips, fills, pedicures, everything is top notch. If you don't like a color, they will absolutely suggest something new. Thank you Hi Way Nails for always taking such good care of me! :) read more

I've been coming to get mani, pedis, eyebrows and lip wax since 2008. I love the staff but really love Julie she has always been very nice. I've been to really fancy nail salons and found the quality to be lacking. But every time I get my nails done at this location they have always done a great job because they are so meticulous; plus she does a great job on my eyebrows. I highly recommend checking this place out they do walk-ins and appts. My hesitation in writing a review all these years is they have large amount of customers and I don't want to make it more challenging for me to schedule my appts but they honestly have been consistently great and they deserve great reviews.... read more

My fav spot to get no chip mani&pedi! Right across my house! My mani looks always perfect, I get countless compliments on my nails , and guys keep up very friendly atmosphere while working on my nails! Plus they get you that card which they sign every time you go there to build your bonuses so you can get constant discounts! read more

The best nail salon!!! I recommend hi-way nails to all of my friends. I used to live in the area so my commute was very short but in July I moved to wicker park and still make the trek because it's so worth it. My no chips last more than 3 weeks and the only reason I have to go back every 3 weeks is because of the grow out. My pedicures last even longer than my no chips! Seriously, you have to go. There's a discount if you pay cash and they also have a rewards card! The. Best. Ever! read more

Was planning on hitting up another nail spot in the area for a mani/pedi when I walked by the window and saw a sign for $30 mani/pedi deal here. (I'm cheap and couldn't resist.) I quickly checked the Yelp reviews and then decided to go for it. At 7pm on a Tuesday, all of the nail technicians were assisting other patrons, but the guy said they'd be able to help me in about 30 minutes. No biggie. I wasn't in a rush, so I sat down. There are only two chairs in the waiting area--the whole salon itself is very small--but I did, in fact, start my pedi in around 30 mins. Whoohoo! (Two other women walked in behind me, and both were helped within 30 minutes too.) The nail technicians were friendly and everyone there seemed to be a regular. There are two TV's where you can actually pay attention and watch whatever is on because there isn't music or loud chatter. My feet and hands turned out great! There aren't any bells and whistles, but for $30, I got exactly what I came in for. Plus, this place is right around the corner from where I live. read more

The place itself isn't the most flattering establishment, it was a bit dusty and cluttered but the staff and service here is phenomenal. I walked in asked for a full set of gel and Quang got to me as soon as he was finished with the previous girl. He slayyyyed it! Never have I loved my nails more. The no-chip full set still looks great after 2 weeks! read more

Not the best ventilated or fancy nail salon but they do an excellent job--very detail oriented and take their time making sure that you are happy with things along the way. Prices are VERY reasonable. Will absolutely be back. read more

I came in here last year and they did a fantastic job on my nails but the two stars are due to the fact that my friends and i arrived at the place at 3:30 on a saturday and they told us they were only available for the next half hour when they're suppose to open til 7. They then proceeded to KICK us out. They promote themselves as walk-in friendly but are they? are they really?? read more

Needed to find a place to get my nails done before a wedding, and this one had really good reviews, so I decided to give them a shot. Called to ask about a few things prior, such as how long a mani/pedi would take (1 hour, I was quoted) and was told to make an appointment, so there would be no waiting. I figured great, this will fit in nicely with my packed pre-wedding agenda. However, upon walking in, I saw they were in the middle of doing someone else's nails, and even with the appointment, I still had quite a wait. However, I was able to sit in the massage chair, so it wasn't too terribly bad. Aside from stopping my mani/pedi every few seconds to watch the soccer game, and the fact that he clipped too much skin off one toe that I ended up needing to put a bandaid on it, and that my 1 hour actually turned out to be 2.5 hours there, I don't have any real complaints. However, my nails started chipping a few days later. The previous manicure I got (at another establishment) although they had atrocious customer service - my manicure didn't chip at all. So I don't know if there's some secret they have in the polish or technique to not get nails to chip, but this place doesn't have it. Thought briefly about going there again, but I realize, with so many other places to choose from, I wasn't overly wowed with them enough to return. They are a nice enough couple (if that's what they are, I'm unclear) and I'm all in favor of supporting small businesses, but aside from not owning a massage chair, there's nothing they provided for me that I can't already do for myself. Sorry guys! read more

Lovely lovely French no chip manicure. I did not get her name but the lady was very meticulous about getting the manicure right . She also kept the coats thin so it didn't look like there were four layers of paint piled on my nails. The result very natural looking pretty nails. Thank you so much! It looks like a very small average place but the service is amazing. Definitely will be back. read more

Hi-Way Nails - French No Chip Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am thrilled that I read yelp reviews to find a nail salon because I had walked past this place a million times and never noticed it. I always like to make appointments at nail salons because you really never know. It turned out to be unnecessary in this case, however, they knew who I was and what service I wanted as soon as I stepped through the door and were prepared to get the show on the road! Two weeks into my no-chip manicure, and it still looks fresh! They have an impressive variety of colors for no chip. Very friendly service, and not overly time-consuming! Also, $30 for a no-chip is a steal! read more

Finding a perfect nail salon that does "Everything just right" is hard to find but I found it in this little diamond in the rough. Walked in and was seated right away than again it was an early appointment. Julie, had done my Mani - pedi ($30 an ever day deal) and she was wonderful. What I liked most about Hi Way Nails was that Julie helped me put my socks and shoes on, reached in my coat to get my car keys then helped put on my purse .. after that she took a look at my nails to make sure everything was A.O.K. I love my nails and can't wait to go back. read more

Be careful with this place. The older male owner or the nail tech by the window is rude. My nails were rushed and they didn't even last.

I was walking by one day and decided to give them a shot, $30 for a Mani and pedi, what could I lose? I was thoroughly impressed and continue to be each time that I return. Hands-down the best manicure I've had in the city. The place is low-key, a little outdated decor wise, but I assure you very clean. Every time I am there I watch them meticulously sterilize tools and pedicure tubs. They pay great attention to detail when doing your nails and have a huge selection of both Gel and regular polish. Two tips: get a discount card and try to come early as they can get busy read more

When I moved into the neighborhood, I tried a few places, and this was easily the best! My no chip manicures are flawless, and unlike some other salons, they truly last 2+ weeks easily. If it weren't for natural nail outgrowth, they would last even longer! The workers are all friendly and attentive with all covid safety measures being utilized. I feel completely safe coming in here for my no chip manicure and pedicure every 2-3 weeks! I look forward to being a life long customer as this place is truly top notch! read more

I decided to check out this salon after searching for a new nail place near my apartment on yelp. I got a no chip manicure and a regular pedicure for $48. You can't find that price anywhere in the same area. They did a great job, took their time, the staff was polite, and my manicure lasted for more than 2 weeks. I already came back the second time for yet another great set of Mani/pedi. This is my new favorite place. read more

I was so excited to try this nail salon since it is close to my new apartment in Lakeview and had some great reviews. I went in to ask how long until I could get a fill and the man working basically brushed me off and said to come back in an hour. An hour later I decided to give them a call just in case the incredibly rude man was wrong about the timing. A man (who I am assuming was the one from earlier) answered the phone, could barely understand me, and said "WE HAVE NO TIME FOR YOU TODAY" and then hung up on me. RUDE customer service. I do not care how close they are to me they will not be getting my service and I will be telling my friends that are moving the area to STAY AWAY. read more

Just had my first gel mani and I love it ! Everything is neat. They are very nice people, quiet too so it's nice when you want to relax and enjoy the moment :) The prices are very affordable, very honest compared to some other places. Will go back for sure ! read more

My no chip stayed on for three weeks! Definitely will be returning. Affordable price.

Perfect price range, always accommodating and quick but not pushy. Their no-chip last for a good two weeks because they don't load it on. Always happy with my results here and it's very conveniently located. My go-to spot! read more

Wish I could give zero stars. I went in at 7pm and the male nail tech refused to do my Nails! He said I don't have time for gel because it takes an hour. How do they not have time and they don't close until 8pm?!! He claims he is the only one who does gel. Save money and do not go here! read more

Wow I had to get my nails painted thrice because I messed up and left a little before they fully dried. I wish they had a faster drying machine. However I was really impressed with the pleasant manner of the owner / employees. They were happily re-doing my nails without a single complaint. Major props! read more

I don't go here often but when I need to get my nails done, this is the only place I go to. I've tried other salons and other technicians but Le is the best! I always request him and if he is not available, I would try another day. He is very detailed and my nails perfect every time he does my nails! read more

Had a no-chip manicure and a pedicure. Cheapest no-chip I've found in the city and the most options ! Best service I've gotten and because its newly renovated its very clean. They pay alot of attention to detail here and they are so friendly ( even after changing my nail color a few times) so I will definitely be going back! Plus a working massage chair that works out the butt is a double plus! read more

This place is amazing! Plus Wayne from Salon de Vogue now works here. I was super bummed when I walked in to Salon de Vogue to find he did not work there any more. I traveled from Wicker Park to this Lakeview nail salon every 2 weeks just so he could do my nails. Needing my nails done before a vacation and dreading going back to Salon de Vogue I walked in to Hi-Way Nails. To my surprise when I walked in I now see Wayne inside! He is now the manager here and I recommend him to everyone! Although one of female employees gave me a pedicure (which was wonderful) Wayne sat down to give me a manicure. He is so detail oriented and my polish lasts forever. Def. walk in here as its new, extremely clean, and has great massage chairs! PS. $30 for a mani-ped Mon-Weds...how can you beat that?? This place is better than most of the expensive places in the city. read more

I love this place and I will be back for sure. It's a very clean and sanitary nail salon. The no-chip mani is great and lasts 2 weeks for sure. Their combo no-chip mani and pedi is very affordable and there's a small discount for cash payments. You can also pay and tip on credit card. They have great service. My nail tech even repaired and glued my broken natural nail for free! I've never seen so many no-chip colors available that it took me a while to pick out of 40+ colors/brands. I was talking about how other salons offer no-chip pedis and they agreed with me, they wouldn't do it as it's just a waste of money for the customer. I've been to many salons that would love to squeeze money out of you in any way. The only thing I'd change is for them to offer a drink before/during service, but I was appeased when they gave me and my friend water bottles to go! Go here for perfect nail service. read more
