Visited the Josie Nail Spa salon and did a deluxe pedicure with basic OPI nail polish. They have a wide color selection along their front wall and the colors looked 'fresh', I didn't see any bottles with the separation in them. The salon itself was very quiet, no music, and the TV was on closed captioning so it's definitely great to meet friends here and have nice conversation. I had an appointment and was started on time and they did not rush me out of the comfy massage chairs. I wish I could afford to come here more often! They did a really nice job and my feet feel great. They do provide some incentives of a point program and they do send texts to offer 10% off for your birthday. read more

Another gorgeous acrylic set. They put in a lot of attention to detail here. They are also nice and organized. I was very taken care of here. Very calm environment. They play bakery competition shows on the tv. read more

The quality of the services are mediocre at best. To top it off, they don't have a price list and charge you based on however they're feeling that day. They have charged friends double for the same services with no explanation. Stay away from their inexperience and unethical business practices. read more

I got a dip manicure with chrome done by Tammy. She did amazing! She took her time and was extremely detailed. My nails still look amazing at 4 weeks later. read more

I hesitated to give this review (first time ever leaving a review) but it is extremely frustrating to pay so much for a dip manicure and have it turn out so poorly. Especially when it's hard to find the time to actually get them done. I will say that if you request the right person it may be ok. I had a horrible experience from the beginning. I believe the person who did my nails was new so I was/am trying to be understanding. I'm the person that never speaks up while getting my nails done so it takes a lot. The shape was messed up, three of my cuticles were cut (with blood) and there are black specks in several of my light colored nails, I had color on several fingers that I had to scrape off at home. I didn't say anything. The final thing was one of my nails was not sealed so I finally said something. Another technician was great and she filed and resealed all of my nails. Today is Sunday, I had my nails done on Wednesday and one of them is already coming up on the back and my hair is snagging on it when I try to wash/brush/style my hair. This doesn't usually happen for a couple of weeks, if it all. Overall, it was an awful manicure but I do really appreciate the technician who tried to fix what she could. She's the reason I feel bad writing this review. So maybe if you choose your technician it wouldn't be so bad. read more

I used to love coming here before Josie sold the spa, she always had baking shows, and soft relaxing music. The new owner of this salon did a pedicure for me with no polish and it was so rushed, it honestly felt like she was mad the entire time. This was an uncomfortable experience that was meant to be relaxing. I came 2 x after Josie sold it to give it another chance but this was my last time. Got a no chip manicure from these people that chipped the day after. When they did my Pedicure, they only used the warm towel to wipe off the cold lotion they put on for 1 second. Terrible experience. Also half of these pictures posted for this site are JOSIES and previous staffs work, this is not the new people's work. Very misleading read more

Bad customer service. Unable to keep the scheduled appointments. Do not keep the scheduling accurate and do the sloppy work.

Best dip manicure I've ever had! My nails look amazing! They were friendly and meticulous - even as I looked around the room, all technicians were taking their time. They have a huge selection of colors for dip. Their pricing is good, and they have online booking. Will definitely be returning. read more

Found this salon on yelp last night. So happy I did. The owner Han, did my nails and they turned out exactly how I wanted them! Salon is clean, many color options to pick from. read more

I have been coming to this nail salon for about 6 months. My nails always look amazing and they last for up to a month. How (male nail tech) is professional and works quickly with amazing results. I just got Hybrid gel nails for the first time and they look absolutely amazing. My nails look so natural and the shape is beautiful. How also gives the best pedicures and massages - I would highly recommend him. read more

While the staff at Josie were very nice, that's about the only positive thing I can say about my experience there. I received the most painful manicure and while I know that it's possible to accidentally get cut, I've been left with cuts all over my fingers that are far from standard when getting a manicure. I have never seen a manicure look this awful, nor be as painful. In general, the salon looks dingy, needs updating, and felt dirty. Very disappointing because I live close by and always try to support local businesses. They are very nice women in there so I hope they read this review and make necessary changes. read more

Today was only my second time at Josie's but I have been so happy both times that I had to write a review. I called yesterday (Thursday) hoping for a last minute appointment today (Friday morning). Josie came in early to fit me into the day and personally did my no-chip manicure. The results are beautiful and now I'm holiday ready! She's so good at what she does. Last time I got a dip and it was perfect for 6 weeks!! I know that won't happen every time, but I'll definitely be coming back for all my mani/pedi needs. read more

Josie Nail Spa - Beautiful nails by Josie!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

john did a great job! he was very meticulous and wanted to make sure i approved and liked my mails! he was sweet and a pleasure to meet!

JOSIE SOLD ! New owners did not introduce themselves to clients. Lynn and Lena are still doing nails, but for how long? New owners kept interrupting Lynn to ask about colors! Don't like a male working on my nails. Looking for new salon. read more

I had never been here before and was extremely happy. The deluxe pedicure was wonderful. The salon is small, but clean and the owners are very friendly. I highly recommend. read more

Great new management! My dip manicures last for over 4 weeks and Hau, the new owner, is so talented with his nail designs. Excellent pedicures too! Highly recommend! read more

This place is my jam. I am addicted to dip manicures and I will never go back to no chip. My nails are so long and healthy and they never chip or break (unless I smash one in a washing machine door ). My nails grow very fast but usually they look great for up to 4 weeks! I have been coming here for almost 2 years, every month like clockwork. Paige does my nails and they look amazing. I get so many compliments on my nails no matter what color I get. Paige lets me mix colors to make some sparkly colors, but honestly they have so many options sometimes it is hard to decide. Salon is very clean and they always have Netflix on to watch. They are frequently busy though so I recommend making an appointment in advance. read more

I have enjoyed my no chip manicure and pedicures. Excellent work by Tina. My natural nails have become more healthier, she does great work and is helpful in helping me decide on the right color! Salon is also very clean and relaxing. read more

The service provided here is amazing. I made a last-minute appointment to get a full set of acrylic nails with no chip towards the end of the day and they were very accommodating. Beautiful and clean nail salon. I can't thank them enough for how comfortable and professional they were. My nails look beautiful and for the first time ever my hands didn't ache after getting them done. This is my forever go to place. I highly recommend going there. read more

Joe V's Staff stated specifically while taking off only ONE nail of polish that I did not have to pay for it, I specifically stated that I do not care to pay for all of it even the removal of such an awful manicure...the kind lady staff member stated again that I did not have to pay for any. I kindly went back to the lady that did my pedicure to give her a cash tip and said thank you politely, and then walked toward the front door. Not one of the staff including Joe V, the owner, acknowledge my departure especially after refusing to take the rest of the nail polish off and telling me I did not have to pay. I have no problem paying for any service including a shitty service, mind you even tipping one. As a medical professional that works in surgery, all instruments used near the nail beds or on skin that are sharp objects such as cuticle nippers, should be probably sterilized and packaged individually after each use on a customer, or else you are risking an infection. Cheap service for cheap service. Good luck for anyone that attends and I hope you do not get an infection or an improper manicure like I did from the owner, Joe V. I can not attest to the other 2 other lady staff members, as they may do a nice job. If you are paying for a service, and you are not happy, the business should be willing to make the customer satisfied. At least remove the nail polish when one is not happy is sufficient. The fact that he would not remove the nail polish, tells you how poor the customer service is even when the customer states they will pay for it to be removed due to their awful skill and service. Happy Yelping! read more

Excellent job done on my wedding nails, and luckily they fit me in somewhat last minute! Thank you!! read more

Josie sold her business as of July 1. I have now been there twice for a mani-pedi and was delighted both times! The salon has been updated and is spic and span How and his family as so nice and have such a gentle touch. read more

My nails lookedlovely and lasted a month, which exceeded my expectation. The salon is clean with plastic partitions, has a nice calming atmosphere and has an extensive selection of polishes. They were efficient and professional. The price was very reasonable. read more

Got seated right away and workers were very helpful with picking out colors and explaining the process!

I can't believe there was no warning that Josie sold. I made an appointment this weekend and when I called, the young woman just said "hello" and didn't identify the salon; I had to ask if I had the right number. I tried to make an appointment with Lynn. And they said she didn't work at the salon any more, but Connie was available. I made an appointment for a no chip and pedicure at 4 pm, then they called and said they had to bump me to 5:30 pm. They called back at 4:30 pm to say Connie would be done sooner and they could take me at 5:00 pm, but when I arrived, they said Connie was too tired. I walked out. Josie could have had the courtesy to her loyal customers to tell us she was folding up shop. Bad business practice! read more

I had an appointment at noon today. About two hours before my appointment, the salon called and said my nail tech was no longer there. That was weird, but I accepted someone else doing it. When I got there, there was a banner saying 'under new management' and only one person from the old staff was there. What really annoyed me was the fact that they called, but did not bother to inform me that it was under new management. I don't appreciate being treated like I am stupid or just a number. Will not return. read more

What can I say! I love Josie and her staff!!! She literally works with everyone! It gets busy at times but she always finds ways to work with you! I don't live in the area. I work by here and I thought to try it months ago and it was the best spot! I literally won't go no where else! Friendly, peaceful and beautiful! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Joise and your staff!! read more

I got my nails done here (full-set) about 2 weeks ago, they did not last for longer than 5 days. I called to inform the owner that they were all falling off and asked if she could fix them, with hesitation she answered, "so what do you want me to do fix them?" I said yes and then I asked if I could come in that Tuesday, she said "okay I have a 5:30". That week Monday I called saying I could not make it can I come in any other day that week, Josie ended up telling me no because she's booked this whole week. Today I called off of a different phone number asking for a service to be done acting as if I was another person, she gladly told me that I could come in tomorrow/ make a appt today for tomorrow, which mean she was not fully booked this week. Moral of the story Josie clearly thought I was trying to get a free service and did not want to do it for me, when in reality I was going to get a pedicure & a full set and was not expecting anything to be free! I was respectful when I told her on the phone about all of my nails falling out within a week (I got dip powder and they should have lasted longer) I will not be ever coming back here not to mention I think my skin color played a part in her not wanting to do my nails. I'm sure a lost of one customer will not do her any damage but I just wanted to share this. Reply to josie: When I called I asked "Hi is this Josie?" You said yes. So that means I talked to you. You are telling lies in your response to this review. I have never wrote a review about something to get anything in return. I'm simply pointing out something that is not right. I talked to you every time I called your business. I don't care for your business anyways because you had an attitude while doing my nails anyways. I hope you do not treat other people this way in the future. Also I informed you as soon as it started to happen so what are you talking about? I was being very responsible by calling to reschedule. I was stuck at work late and couldn't make it then irresponsible thing to do would to be to keep the appointment and not show up. read more

Josie is the best! She runs a great business, and her dip manicures are better than ANYONE else's. I HIGHLY recommend her. Call ahead to book. She is very popular, but she will go out of her way to accommodate you, and get you in. Her staff is very pleasant as well. read more

Love this place. It's clean. The people here are really nice. They treat your little ones like their own. I love Paige! But don't steal her away from me :) She's exceptional. She does the best French tips no chip that lasts forever - thanks girl! read more

Best dip manicure I have ever had! Nail tech took her time (and it did take longer than other places I've gone), but well worth the extra time. I had my nails done on June 16 and here it is July 14 and they still look fabulous (other than the out growth but using a soft pink hides the growth). But what I really like is that they took the time to smooth the top edge so that when the nail grows there is not a big ridge. I have been to other places nearby and the color started to peel after a week, but after going to Josie's, mob nails are still shiny and smooth Josie's is a busy salon (now I know why!) so make an appointment if possible read more

I have to say this place is amazing. I found them on yelp while I was at work and decided to give it a try. They were quick and honest about the choices I was looking for at first. They suggested I try sns dipping nail polish. It is like acrylic/gel nails but without the uv light and harsh nail filing. My nails literally grew healthy and not breaking like acrylic/gel nails do to my nails! I love seeing my natural nails grow I am definitely loving this place and love that they take walk-ins! Had two different ladies work with me and I wish I knew their names but they are awesome and I thank them! read more

Overall, I would say that my experience here had good parts and bad parts. I'm very particular about my nails. The owner was wonderful in helping me choose a color and in making sure I was scheduled. My nail technician was ok but my entire no chip manicure/pedicure took a lot longer than I expected and someone else had to finish. I'm very particular about my nails and noticed that there was nail polish on my skin and the edges weren't clean. Also, during the no chip process, my nails weren't dry and when the technician went to put on another coat, they smeared and she blamed me for it even though my nails were in the LED light machine the whole time. Due to this, she wiped off that layer, but after that, the nails did not have clean edges and it just looked sloppy. After coming home, I realized this. But like I said, there were good parts and bad and the other people around me seemed to be having a good experience. I just wish I was one of them... read more

Thank you for your response Josie! I'm not stupid to come with shoes when getting a pedicure I was wearing blue flip flops! But I really don't wanna argue with you! Can you see the picture carefully, the polish is not even and has big gap from the cuticles! The pic was taken only after a week! As u see its the same color! I'm a busy person and that's why it took me 2 weeks to post a review! read more

I was referred to this place by a friend and I'm so glad I came in. This may have to be my new regular. Salon is located in strip mall next to Jewel so parking is not an issue ever. Salon is on the smaller side and I'd say this salon is more in the basic side. Not too much ombré going on or fancy shmancy designs although pictures and reviews show otherwise so I could be wrong. Customer service is amazing. Super attentive and kind people. They even asked my name. I got a pedicure and it was one of the most relaxing pedicures I've ever had in my life. Massage was AMAZING. Paige you are a doll and my pedi was everything. I'll be here again! read more

This place is phenomenal! I recently moved to the suburbs from the city and have been searching for a nail salon. In the city they rush everything, Josie herself acknowledged that and the attention to detail and calming vibe was fantastic. They care so so much about the experience for the client and I will be going regularly! Thanks Josie & her colleagues! read more

They do a great job, but most places around glenview do a great job. What sets Josie's apart is that the people seem genuinely happy and to enjoy each other's company. It really translates into an awesome and welcoming vibe. read more

I've been going to Josie for years and refuse to go anywhere else. Josie, Paige, Linn and Connie are all amazing and always so kind and nice. They're very attentive and personable. I've recommended Josie's to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you so much! read more

I had a mani pedi. Tech was rude and bothered that she was booked at the end of day. Pedicure was swept over no clip, one file stroke and harsh rude exfoliation. I noticed she was uncomfortable and asked if she was in pain. Maybe a long day? I was patient realizing sometimes people are having a bad day. Manicure same approach. My nails are short and she did not even bother to file or shape. She used the electric buffer used removing or shaping acrylic nails to remove cuticle. My nails were burning! She made two fingers bleed. I asked what are you doing that hurts! She said you have remnant from a no chip. I haven't had a no chip in 1 year! This was her way of getting the job done without any effort. She began to polish and I asked aren't you going to shape my nails? She said, oh there short but I can do it. How do you file nails after polish is applied? A joke! My nails look like my 7 year old did them. My nail beds are sensitive peeling and red! I don't have time to have rude techs and bad treatment. No one does! Owner will probably claim I'm a competitor trying to post a negative review to harm this business. No! You are harming your own business by not addressing issues clients have. I never write reviews especially bad ones! You wasted my time and money! I'm never coming back. If you think your clients are here to accommodate you your wrong! read more

I have finally found the best nail salon in Glenview! It is very conveniently located next to the Jewel on Waukegan, very easy to access and tons of parking! I made my appointment for a Tuesday morning and I always recommend setting appointments on weekdays during the day as to avoid any rush there might be on the weekend. This also allows the technicians to take their time and make sure everything is absolutely perfect. My no-chip mani/pedi was just that! Absolute perfection! Not only did Joe my nail technician spend quite a while removing the builder gel I had on, but made sure not to hurt/damage my natural nails underneath! He was very sweet and made me feel very relaxed. Joann my technician for my pedicure was just as sweet and made sure the shape of my nail was just to my liking. Everything went 100% perfect and after everything was done, they made sure to ask if I enjoyed the service. I loved the fact that they had a sign displayed that said "If anything is not to your liking please let us know and we'll make it right". I believe this salon takes great pride in their work and always puts the customer first. I was in from out of town visiting family, and I wish this salon was closer to me otherwise I would be a regular! read more
