I am an incredibly particular client, especially when it comes to my nails, and there is no salon I would trust more with them than the Imperial Nails in Northfield. I have been seeing Kayla for my acrylic, manicures and pedicures since I moved to the suburbs almost 4 years ago. She does an impeccable job and I have never left the salon unhappy with what she has done. The salon itself is clean and bright, and the staff are very friendly. On the odd occasion, Kayla has not done my pedicure- whoever has filled in has done an amazing job. If you're looking for a place to go on the North Shore to get great nails, the Imperial Nails in Northfield is where you should go! read more

bought the most expensive pedicure they offered. It was goopy looking for a gel pedi - way too thick and splotchy - they told me it a dark spot in my nail bed - it wasn't. She redid the nail reluctantly - still thick looking and the worst painting I've had in years. Next morning - woke up with BOTH big toes infected. Went to the doctor - a mess. I was speaking to a neighbor and said I got infected and it was a crappy paint job and she goes instantly "oh you had Annie. Yeah you can't get her." Apparently it's known. Have to soak in special wash 4x a day to drain the nail. So gross. read more

I went in mainly for a pedicure, but the nail technician convinced me to get a manicure as well. She highly recommended their non-chip gel manicure, but as you can see from this picture, it's already chipping just two days later. I'm so disappointed. Won't go back again read more

I stopped in today, as the place I've been going to for a few years has become inconsistent. I BADLY needed a pedicure, my feet have been neglected too long (you know, when your heels are so rough that they are great for scratching itches on your feet and legs? Lol ) Anyhoo ... I've never been happier with how me feet turned out! The water was a little tepid for me, but other than that, BJ did a fantastic job! I got the Extraordinary Spa Pedicure, the price was great, she took her time and my toes look perfect! I highly recommend giving them a chance. read more

My first time trying this salon; I was in the nearby area and leaving for spring break the next morning but still desperately needed a pedicure so I checked Yelp. I called ahead to make an appointment and was able to get in within an hour, which gave me time to run another pre-vacation errand, so all good! My nail tech, Hannah was amazing! no other way to describe her. Professional, friendly, thorough, plus she made my feet look and feel incredible. I have been going to the same place, closer to home, for years on a pretty frequent basis, and Hannah made that look like little league compared to what she can do. She recommended the collagen treatment which made all the difference in the world, plus her attention to detail has given me one of the best pedis I've had in years. The salon is wonderful too, buzzing with customers and activity, massage chairs to use while you wait for your appointment, clean, well lit, a warm and inviting space with multiple nail techs and lines of polish. It's around a twenty minute drive for me to go there, but totally worth it. I plan to become a regular! read more

I've been going to this nail salon for the past few months for pedicures and dip manicures. Outstanding service all around - professional, courteous, punctual, and most important masters of nail art. I always receive plenty of compliments on my nails. My manicure during Last visit was a work of art, done exactly the way I described it and leaving my nails in a very healthy and presentable state as usual. Also while visiting the salon my nails have grown like they never have before, the ladies there also know how to nourish your hands and nails. The atmosphere is always serene and peaceful, allowing customers to completely relax. Highly highly recommend! read more

This is a new location of the Imperial Nails in Glenview, my go to salon for manicures and pedicures. I've decided to check the new place out because they are running a 10% off Grand opening promotion plus a welcome gift. The place is beautiful and spacious, and, as expected, I got a great no chip manicure. read more

Always friendly and do a great job. I also love that they try and do mani-pedi at same time so you are not there for hours.

I went to this nail salon on 1/24/2020. I had a gel manicure, pedicure and wax hair removal. The pedicure was acceptable and the manicure fair. I asked to have my lip and chin waxed. I have had this procedure done previously to my satisfaction and without incident. Not so at this salon!!! The was very, very hot when applied to my skin. The tech ignored my concerns. She put "cooler" lotion on my lip which burned like all get out! She acted surprised and removed it. I went home with deep pink strip marks on my lip and the side of my mouth. The next day, the strip marks were bright red. I went to the salon to show her my injuries and discuss the situation. She did not accept any responsibility: I was allergic to the wax; I had sensitive skin...She also tried the cooler...It burned so much had to remove it AGAIN. read more

LOVE Imperial Nails! I have always gone to the one in Glenview for years. They do the best job with manicures and pedicures. Every time I get a no chip manicure I swear it lasts for over a month. Everyone is super friendly and I always have such an amazing time! So happy they opened a closer location to me! read more

We came from out of town for a wedding and needed a mani/pedi. I am so glad we chose this place! Not only did they do an amazing job with our gel manis and pedicures and took their time to do it right, they were incredibly nice and personable. I believe we had Annie and Jenny (aunt and neice). What I noticed most was every regular customer that came in they knew their names. I truly wish this nail salon was in my home town. I would be a regular for sure! read more

I had a college student who did my mani pedi and it was so painful. She told me she learned on the job...Not the experience I was looking for. She cut my cuticles so much it made me bleed. And when she painted my nails, it was so messy both on and outside the nail. She cleaned up the sides afterwards but there was still polish everywhere on my skin. If you go here, request someone with more experience since you're paying 50 dollars for a mani pedi. The rest of the technicians are much better! Outside of that, the rest of the spa is very clean and I did enjoy going there a few times. Sadly, I will be trying other places now. read more

Literally lasted no longer than a week. And RUINED my REAL nail. I went in a week ago to get my nails done with dip powder. No extension, these are my real nails. When I sat down everything seemed as though it was going fine. There was a point where my cuticles started bleeding due to over cutting. The nail tech was extremely proud of herself and said "no one's even going to know that you have dip on your nails because I'm gonna make them so thin" to which I responded "please don't make them too thin or else they won't last" she insisted that this was for the best and lo and behold my shit snapped.... I have cleaned and sanitized before taking this photo but let me assure you it was gushing blood. I will absolutely never be returning to this location. Glenview did a fine job I recommend Julie if you want to go there but this one never again. It was also completely empty when I was in there and it was during a time where you would think it would be packed. I guess that says a lot I should've walked out as soon as noticed everyone was just vibing and NOT doing nails..... read more

YOU.NEED.TO.TRY.THIS.SALON. We came here for my mom's birthday with the full fam (including the dudes) and everyone got a treatment. My husband, who has gotten many pedicures in his life, said that this was the BEST pedicure he's ever had... and I 100% agree. They REALLY know what they're doing here and they'll bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable. They also happen to make a mean cup of coffee. The space is peaceful and relaxing and the treatment menu is creative and amazing. This is our new go-to! If I could scream it from the mountaintops, I would... TRY THIS SALON! You won't be sorry! read more

This is the best salon I've ever been to. It is extremely clean, and they make the experience as covid safe as possible. I felt very safe and comfortable here. The ladies Kayla and Silver who did my mani/pedi were amazing. So kind and paid attention to every detail. I have two nails that have been damaged from a fire and Silver took extra care to make me feel good about them. This will absolutely be my go to salon forever now. My nails have never looked and felt so good. The massage chairs have USB ports for your phone. Everything is new and just so clean. The staff is A+. read more

Cheap products and horrendous customer service on top of it. Full set with broken nails two days later, upon returning to have the nails fixed, greeted with poor customer service screamed at by a nail technician or manager not sure which. They fixed the nails, but they still look awful. read more

I used to love coming to Imperial Nails Northfield but the owner is very rude. She speaks very rudely to the workers and the costumers. I used to love coming here and my nails usually look great, but lately they've been falling off and breaking. I tried calling the store and talked to the owner.... she was nothing but very ill-mannered and yelling at me on the phone. I have been going since 2020 and I will not be returning. 0/10 recommendation. 0/10 getting your brows done here also, I took my cousin to get her nails done for a school dance and got she got bullied by a worker into doing an eyebrow treatment...she left the store crying and distressed because her eyebrows were botched. 0/10. read more

For a wile I was not going into any nails spa. But two weeks ago I went there. I also went today. what can I say: it's a very elegant and extremely clean place, with very soft and relaxing music. The service was excellent just like it was at the time of my first visit. In addition the price is a bit lower than in other nails spa around this area. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I am glad they survived and I wish them all the best. Strongly recommend this place. read more

Hate to take 1 star off but wanted to update that my last experience wasn't nearly as good. 2 different people did my services and both were too rough (resulting in me getting cut a few times). Also over the course of the manicure people kept switching which was weird. Maybe just understaffed? If I return the only people I'd go to in there would be Cain or Kayla. The other male employee basically sanded off my cuticles- it hurt really bad. He's too rushed/ or maybe inexperienced. Another employee even told him to be more gentle and he didn't seem to listen. They have a great place here but just need to try not to be so rushed or have people switching out (multiple people doing 1 manicure), train the employees to be gentle so no one gets cut (really this was an issue mainly with the one male employee- NOT Kane (sp?) but I forget the guys name, and please try to open on time. I've personally had the experience as have friends I've referred that they were opening or arriving much later than scheduled. read more

Okay so I just had the best manicure and pedicure from Kevin and Ken (sp)... I needed some mama self care time! They far exceeded my expectations and took their time. Literally just got the best no chip manicure I've had in my life. Give them a raise! Sadly, I'm moving out of the area soon and won't be able to see them again. Not to mention the sanitation. Imperial was SO clean inside. My pedicure tub had a liner. They were sanitizing the mess out of everything during my appointment (it was close to closing time). Thankful for such a great experience! I should've been coming here all along! read more
