Hands down the best no-chip manicures!! I'm a nurse and work a ton with my hands. Other places I…read morehave had issues with the no chip still chipping, but not here! They last for several weeks no issue. The girls are so personable and we always have great chats. They don't have the massage chairs, so if you're looking for something a little more traditional I would go elsewhere. They also don't do the dip manicures. For me, though, the quality of the nails outweigh the seating situation. The shop is cozy, clean, and always has fun art. I would highly recommend booking in advance. They often don't have time for walk-ins since they have so many regulars, but they are super accommodating/flexible with their schedules.

I am happy with the pedicure and they had a nice variety of polish to choose from. This place definitely has a boutique vibe - pretty small and simple. Regular chairs and a round bucket (as opposed to the massage ones with built in foot spa). They don't have any fans or drying tools so I sat and waited for quite a while for the polish to dry. Best to make a reservation because it seems that they have many regulars.

I had the new worst nail salon experience :c I used to value hygiene the most when I chose nail…read moresalons but I learned my new lesson... not cutting me and making me bleed might be even more important. Not a little cuticle bleeding but actually slicing the skin... which was what happened to me To preface this, I previously visited 7am nails in the loop and enjoyed the experience. I've referred many friends to 7am since then and have been a fan. The only downside of the loop location was that it's closed on Sundays and when I learned that Streeterville location is open on Sundays, i was really happy. I called the general line for 7am (seems like they have a consolidated phone line?) in the morning on Sunday to confirm that I can walk in any time in the afternoon. So I walked in at 2:40 (online scheduling there were availabilities for 2:45 and 3pm). But when I walked it, I was told I had to wait until 3:30. It was strange because the salon was less than 40% full. Since I was already there, I said ok and waited patiently. After 30+ min of wait (which was interesting because while I was waiting, one of the nail techs came over asked me if I was Nancy and when I said I am not, she just walked away. No explanation, no apologies. I was confused and annoyed), my nail tech came over to me waiting. She didn't speak English but she seemed kind. We didn't talk much because she said "no English" but I was ready to enjoy the service, Unfortunately, things started going downhill from there. She was very rough in handling nails and she ended up cutting/slicing into my skin adjacent to the nail (not cuticle- actual skin) with the cuticle pusher. It basically sliced the skin. It was bleeding a lot. I was confused on what was going on but she just blotted it and kept putting on infa-lab magic touch liquid but didnt explain to me what happened, what she was putting on, and I was freaking out seeing blood (we got through more than 1/3 of the bottle of that thing and many cotton pads blotting blood). She kept moving on to other fingers while the bleeding was happening. Then she asked me to go wash my hand and when water touched the wound, it hurt a lot. I came back and told her I can't proceed and left the salon. This was a frustrating experience because I couldn't communicate and what happened here was a genuine health hazard and infection risk. The manager was nice and apologized but it was strange to see the staffs next to her just staring at me... I was there for a relaxing experience and trying to prep for my long out of town trip but i ended up leaving the salon with a cut, which still stings and is causing me discomfort as I pack for the trip and head to the airport. I contemplated a lot before posting the review. I always want to support small businesses. As an immigrant myself, I want to be supportive of those whose first language is not English. But I also want to let others be aware of what happened to me because I don't want this to be repeated.

The salon is quiet and clean, and the owner had a really chill playlist going. The only reason it isn't five stars is that my cuticles aren't very clean (you can see in the pic) and we didn't have time for designs or even a dusting of glitter. I was about 20 mins late to my appointment (my bad). They still did the manicure, but there was no time for design or the pedicure I had booked. Still, gel x for $70 is not bad, and it was overall a good experience. I would try it again!

After perusing Yelp reviews for nail salons in my area, it seemed the consensus was that Refine was a cut above the rest. I walked in late Friday morning and was seated in a comfortable massage chair for my pedicure within 10 minutes. Mandy took great care of my neglected feet. After a relaxing pedicure, she walked me over to the nail stations for my Gel X full set. At that point, I realized I might be cutting it close to my next appointment that afternoon. Mandy went to work quickly and made sure I got a perfect set of nails in time for my next appointment. The location is convenient with plenty of street parking. The space is beautiful and clean.
