There's only one person working there that can fix broken nails so you have to wait a long while. They did a good job on my nails but I was really displeased and upset about Shawn yelling at me multiple times when I asked that my nail be straightened. He continued to tell me my nail just grows crooked and if I wanted it fix then I can put the nail on myself. I asked to have someone else fix the nail since he was angry and yelling but no one else seemed to be able to fix his work. He seems to have a good rapport with the majority of his clients but becomes angry if you ask him to fix something. Even before fixing the nail he went back and forth with two staff members who agreed that my nail was crooked. His defense was that I had crooked fingers and he didn't want to fix it. read more

Great Nail Shop. The owner just needs 2 hire more help. Technicians that do both fill-ins & pedicures. I like having 1 person work on me, not 2 or more, otherwise a great shop, very clean & moderate. read more

If you want to go to a salon where: 1. You have to show up 10 minutes before they open . . . to line up . . . to put your name on a list. Then . . . 2. Wait until the staff straggles in at 10:25 - EVERYDAY - when the shop opens at 10. (Same for the earlier weekend start). 3. Wait another 30 minutes for the ONLY 2 people (Sean or Candy) in the salon who can actually do nails. Or . . . 4. Risk getting cut, getting scratched on your heels and ankles during a pedicure, having said pedicure chip within two days 5. . . . and so on . . . This is probably the place for you! Sadly, not a lot of options in the area but I just can't do it anymore. Too much work for a "relaxing" experience! read more

Love love love this place. I have acrylic nails and this place is nothing but consistent and amazing. They are so nice, the place is always clean, and the prices are right. The color selection is fairly small but everything else makes up for it. read more

I debated on writing a review, but had to chime in. I preface my comment with the fact that I 1) got a mani-pedi , 2) went on a Saturday (no appts on Fri and Sat), and 3) had a 1-month old daughter at home albeit being watched by her grandfather. First, the mani-pedi prices are reasonable and competitive; however, the salon definitely prefers servicing fill-ins because they were seen relatively quickly after walking in. I say "relatively" because I was in that salon for 3.5 hours from the time I walked in until the time I walked out (and I spent less than 5 minutes at the drying station). I thought this place offered convenience because it is my neighborhood, but I will definitely continue to explore other places. My word of advice is to avoid going on Fridays and Saturdays, if you can. read more

Went for the first time last week. The people here were very nice and polite. And even though there were many customers in/being serviced, they were still able to get me right in on a Friday after work. Had a wedding to attend the next day, so wanted to to get my nails done. The young woman who did my mani/pedi was very nice, and worked efficiently. Why only three stars: * they had a limited color selection to choose * Not sure what top coat was used, but two days later, I noticed that my nails suddenly had a brownish/mauvish color to them. That's never happened before and was somewhat perplexing. I chipped off some of the top coat, and sure enough, right beneath, was the pretty, lavender nail polish cover I had chosen. Assuming it's a cheap/weird top coat that turns brown? * She clipped my cuticles (I know, I know..not supposed to), but they are now peeling pretty badly. Not sure if maybe she clipped them too low? So, overall don't think i'd go back, unless in a pinch - but if I did, I would ask that they not clip my cuticles and use a different top coat. read more

Just moved to Hyde Park so glad I found this great place for my eyebrow wax! Quick and neat... Was in an out in a jiffy and completely satisfied! read more

Recommend avoiding this establishment unless you enjoy being treated poorly. I use to come here regularly for a mani/pedi. They were an average nail salon. I recently had a bad experience with rude staff and went somewhere else for several months. Was in a pinch and came again recently. I am taken aback at how mean the technician was. The entire service was rather subpar and lackluster (not even the basics). When I asked a question about buffing the nails, she was irritated and the service went further downhill from there to the point where this woman handled me very roughly. I won't be coming back. read more

The service was great. I was seen right away. I just love this place.

I thought they did a really nice job. They weren't pushy about up selling, which I hate. The only con was that we had to wait a little. It was clear they had no idea that I made an appt, but we weren't in a rush. The massage chairs were good too! read more

I've been coming here consistently for about 4 months now. I was looking for the owner Shawn in which does a great job speaks ENGLISH and has a nice personality but hasn't been there. Therefore I let Diamond do my pedi and fill-in. I wait patiently and tip her. Today I come to get a nail repaired in which cracked the next day, waited patiently and got attitude and dirty looks from her. I asked her to fix it and she removed the polish and told me to wash hand while she spoke her Vietnamese disrespectful gibberish. I was willing to pay but I'll never go back and advise you not to also!!! Stank ass attitude while I spend my money and tip no no!!!! read more

I went to the shop for the first time today to get a pedicure and full set pink and white. Candy performed both services and did an amazing job! I will return to this shop each and everytime I need a fill in and/or pedicure. read more

RACIST KOREAN ESTABLISHMENT! I feel completely violated! The lady skipped multiple steps during my pedicure. When I brought it to her attention and asked for a percentage off, she literally ran off behind the counter with my card and swiped it for the full price despite me asking her to make amends for her lack of service. I have NEVER been so disrespected by a business that is supposed to provide customer service. They do not respect or value black women, we are nothing more than a dollar sign to them. I WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS AGAIN. read more

I wish I could give 0. My pedicure is horrible the lady cut my toe nails too far down I kept telling her she was hurting me every time she kept going under my toil nails. As far as the dead skin and scrubbing my feet they didnt do that they just oiled my feet and legs and sent me out the door like I came in because I didn't want polish and my feet still looked messed up. I complained to the head boss and he told me I need to go to a doctor because the dead skin is on the side of my feet and they only take care of the bottom. I still paid the bogus $22 and now I'm sitting on 35 and king drive for a redo. I wish I would have read the reviews first this place suck and I will never be back. read more

In here currently, swear if I didn't need these done now for tonight I would leave. They have people in here who don't know/understand the services you're asking for. As the girl who was doing my nails was started, she started covering my nails to take my overlay off & I was confused as to why. So I specifically asked if getting that done would be extra, she said no. I asked again because I thought it was weird & she said no charge. Guess what happened after? They did charge for that! I'm not coming back to this place ever. I'm not a fan of giving my money to liars. I don't mind paying for services, but I'm not playing that overcharging BS. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I came in on a Friday for a gel fill in and no chip polish. Amazing pedicure from Kim, but the worse job on my nails I've ever experience in my life. Here it is Monday morning, and three of my nails have completely peeled off. Of course I go back to have them fixed. It's 6:30pm, doors are locked and I'm told they are closed. I informed them my nails are chipped from Friday, and to please fix them. The lady did a sloppy job and wasn't consistent. When I called her out on her error, she got nasty and grabbed my hand. I immediately let her know I was not dealing with her attitude. Candy had to come and fix my nails due to the terrible service from the older lady that's balding at the top of her head. I'm beyond offended, and disappointed. I've been coming to this salon for years, and actually left another shop to follow Kim. I will NEVER come back, I will never recommend this place to anyone. I pay good money for my service and tip very well. I understand how it feels to want to head home towards the end of day, however you do not provide this level of service to anyone!!!! read more

Finally!! I don't have to travel for a quality manicure and pedicure without breaking the bank. Hyde Park now has a quality nail salon that is New, Clean, and friendly. I have been to several in the Chicago area over the years, and this one can compete with the ones from the loop, and in the northern suburban areas. They have all the services you will be looking for (mani, pedi,no chip, acrylic, gel, waxing (eyebrow, lip and chin), and lashes). Oh, I forgot to mention they accept visa and master card. read more

I am so excited to finally have a nail salon close to home! This place is great and has good prices. It is clean with all new equipment. The staff is friendly and they all work very hard. They take their time and do a wonderful job. There is plenty of parking and the location is just off of Lakeshore, so its easy to get to from the south or the north. I definitely recommend giving them a visit. read more

I was looking for a local salon and tried this one after reading the reviews. The salon is clean and nicely decorated. I was very glad to see the the nail tools come out of the sterilizer. The prices are reasonable; I had a no-chip manicure and they have a large selection of colors. However, I would prefer only having 1 tech work on me, 1 started and another finished. I will definitely go back. read more

Fully wheelchair accessible with a very helpful and courteous staff

Ok, I was skeptical because the first time i walked in, there was a 2 hour wait because they only had one person doing acrylic nails. I waited another week to go back because i didn't have time and when I did I only had to wait about 15 minutes. The shop looked clean and they put on the acrylics in a snap. I was pleased with the shape and the color (although the lady seemed a little annoyed that i didn't pick my color right before sitting down lol - but i hadn't had my nails done in so long i forgot that was the protocol). At any rate, I'm going back again but I suggest getting there as early as possible because it is a walk-in shop. I LOVED the price as well!! Overall, good place to get your nails done, but they do need more staff that can do fill-ins/acrylics/gel nails. read more

Best nail work , worst experience. I got to the nail shop at 5 pm on thursday and did not get helped until 7 pm, a two hour wait for a fill in. Also you are supposed to sign in but when I arrived there was one person waiting . Everyone that came after us was serviced, they were all regular customers. So while the nail work was exceptional. it is not worth the hassle to wait two hours for a fill . read more

I have been going to this shop for the past few months, however it is extremely busy. I have had an overall subpar experience however the nail in the coffin is that the wait is getting to be horrendous. I walked in two times last week on a Thursday and Friday around 3:30pm in the afternoon and walked straight back out because it was so crowded. I went in again today same thing, waited an hour to be pushed back to wait longer after 3 ladies with appointments who walked in also had to wait. Don't tell me 30 minutes if it is going to be an hour or more wait. Also my nails have broken several times a day or two after me getting them done and they have had the nerve to charge me. I walked out the first time without paying to him saying " Next time pay." I am done with this place I would rather drive out to the burbs and get a mani and pedi then to deal with this place. read more

I had a fantastic manicure and pedicure last week. I am so happy with the results. My fingernails looked perfect for over a week - definitely a record for me! It's been 11 days now, and they are still looking pretty good (just a few chips). The place was great; very relaxing. I wish I knew the nail technician's name so I could give her a shout-out! I will definitely be going back. read more
