Absolutely awful experience at Prismatic Nail in Lake Bluff. The entire staff was rude from the…read moresecond I walked in -- no greeting, no warmth, just an attitude like I was inconveniencing them by showing up. I had a gift card for a manicure and pedicure and was told over the phone they could only fit me in for the pedicure that day, but that I could come back the next day for the manicure at no additional charge. Sounded reasonable -- until I showed up. Suddenly, they tried to tell me that splitting the services would cost more because the gift card included a discount for doing both at once. I was furious -- I had just confirmed with them by phone that this wouldn't be an issue. After pushing back, they reluctantly said they could do the manicure, but only if it happened at the same time as my pedicure. Mind you, there wasn't a single other customer in the salon and I arrived well over an hour before closing. The service itself was rushed, impersonal, and I felt like they couldn't wait to get me out the door. In fact, they basically kicked me out 30 minutes before their posted closing time, again, despite the place being completely empty. Save yourself the frustration -- there are too many other salons in the area to waste time or money here. I'll never go back.

I treat myself to a pedicure at least once every 2 or 3 weeks. My Mom decided to treat my sister &…read moreI to a pedicure, since my sister was visiting. The 3 of us went together. Honestly the first thing I noticed was that the ownership changed. Ordinarily I wouldn't care but I missed seeing Grace & Kristina. I've been a customer at least 10 years. I know that staff changes when ownership changes. The one thing I noticed it was one of the fastest pedicures I've ever had. The main reason women treat themselves is to relax. It was difficult to relax when I felt rushed. My pedicure lasted 25 minutes. It was a good pedicure. I loved my color, my leg massage, and the hot towel was wonderful. I just wished it lasted longer.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Party Nails in Waukegan. This was my fifth visit,…read moreand I had always gone there for a simple pedicure. During my most recent visit, the manager talked me into getting a manicure as well. I believed I was receiving a basic manicure and pedicure, so I was shocked when my bill came to $105 before tip. My previous visits had been around $65. I later realized that gel polish had been applied. I never specifically requested gel polish and generally avoid it because it has damaged my nails in the past. About three weeks later, I returned to have the gel removed and get a pedicure with regular polish. At that point, the owner told me they "never use regular nail polish." I found that very difficult to believe, especially since I had never requested gel polish and was never clearly informed that it was being used. As a disabled customer living on a fixed income, I need to know exactly what services I am receiving and what they will cost. Instead, I felt like services were added without being properly explained, resulting in a much higher bill than expected. When I tried to address my concerns, I felt dismissed rather than helped. What upset me most was the lack of transparency and communication. Customers should be clearly told when they are receiving upgraded services that cost significantly more. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will be taking my business elsewhere and cannot recommend Party Nails to others.

I don't usually do my hands (I'm an electrician--hands stay busy!) so yes I still go to the salon…read morebut it's for the pedicures! I've been loving the trend of acrylic toenails lately. I think they make your feet look super cute, and it's not something every salon does well--or even offers. That's how I ended up finding Party Nails and Spa. I came in less than an hour before closing after a really rough week at work. I just needed a minute to breathe and do something for myself. Not only did they take me in with zero hesitation, but they kept working on me past closing time. That alone says so much about their customer service. The pedicure came out so good--super clean work, I did only put acrylic on my big toes, and just an overall pampered finish. The vibe was relaxed, never rushed, and honestly, it helped turn my whole day around. Sharing some pics so you can see the quality for yourself! If you're thinking about trying acrylic toes, or just need a place that treats you like more than just another appointment.

Their manicures and pedicures are beautiful and last for weeks. One of the things that really sets them apart is how skilled they are at treating ingrown toenails. People come in just for that, they're simply the best. You can tell they really know what they're doing and care about your comfort. It's no surprise the place is always busy, they've built caring relationships with their customers and it shows. If you're looking for a nail salon that combines lasting quality with genuine care, this is the one.

I feel like they're family - they do a great job on my nails and toes - the shop is inviting and friendly - unlike some other salons in Libertyville.

Sam who did my nails cut me and I tried to stop him many times and asked him to wash my hands he said wait till he finishes shaping. I said ok. Once I washed my hands I asked for alcohol. Sam gave me some alcohol. I'm trying to not get an infection because the cut is deep. Then I go to pay. My total was $55 and when I was about to make the payment I see that the machine says $56.10. I asked the guy behind the desk why is it $56.10 and he said there is a 2% card fee. I told him you can't surcharge debit card transactions because it is illegal and to take off the fee. He refused. He said there is no way for him to do it. I said you can adjust the $55 to make it $55 with the fee. He said no. I tried to explain to him again that they can be fined for this and that I can file a complaint with visa for refusing to take off the fee and for charging debit card fees. He said to me do you want me to call the cops so you can file a complaint and took the phone pretending to dial 911. I told him you don't file a complaint with the police but visa and Mastercard. I asked for the owners phone number and name and he refused to provide it to me. So he wanted me to call the police to report this. I am in disbelief. I will file a complaint with visa. It may be that the swipe companies are not setting up businesses up correctly but they should know better. Image below from visa clearly stating that you can't surcharge debit cards.

While we were waiting, another client joked that we should get ready for the "world's fastest pedicure." We thought she was kidding. She wasn't. My mom was finished in about 15-20 minutes, and mine wasn't much longer. I received a very light and quick "massage" (and that's being generous), while my mom didn't receive one at all--even though we both paid for the exact same service. The entire experience felt incredibly rushed. My heels only received the standard paraffin wax treatment and were never properly scrubbed or worked on, and we both left with rough, callused heels. To make matters worse, we were finished before customers who had been seated ahead of us. For $38 per person, this felt much more like an express pedicure than the standard service we paid for. We left disappointed and won't be returning.
