I left a review warning the clients about the staff, the shop is under new management. I've went here maybe twice and at first I didn't recognize the staff but apparently they recognized me. The staff worked at a similar shop in Humboldt Park and I was a client for 7 years. One day I had an appointment and unfortunately the double and triple booked me. After taking off my polish and having me sit in the bowl for an hour - I had to leave. When I left the male tech chased after me and tried to force me to pay for a full pedicure but they hadn't done anything but sit me in water. When I refused, he spit at me and I never went back. Fast forward now, I moved and this is the closest shop. I didnt recognize them at first so I went twice. The third time I came in and they were busy I said okay but they were very rude and when he took off his mask I recognized him. I proceeded to write a review warning people about this incident. I wrote a review. I felt bad so I came back to do a small service, the same guy who spit at me confronted me in front of all of the clients. They wanted me to take the review down or they would be refusing service. Please do not go here. The work is decent, the prices are cheap and Katie is the nicest one. However, the male tech is a pig. Also, you can't refuse service because I wrote an honest review. I understand that shop is new but the same guy works there read more

My favorite salon. I love Katie and Kelley they're always very kind, and give great service. Do yourself the favor and get the parrafin treatment. read more

My go-to nail salon! Appt rarely needed, convenient location and great prices. 9/10 times I get an EXCELLENT service. There have been a few times where the tech I get is either rushing or not paying attention to detail and I end up not getting exactly what I wanted. But for the price and the friendly environment, I'll continue coming back! read more

I shopped around too many different places and this was the best balance of price speed and beauty. They also do great nail art

Tremendous value and fantastic customer service. I believe my nail tech's name was Daniel. I enjoyed my conversation with him. He was so personable! read more

DO NOT GO HERE !!! I got a refill and i spent $38 for this. The guy doing my nails were burning my cuticles with the filer, i jumped a few time from the pain. The whole refill took 25 minutes. I asked why this refill was $38, employee said he shaped my nails and cleaned up my cuticles so i guess that costs $38. I spent $50 for a full set elsewhere that i attached a picture of and it was way better and i'll continue to go there. also while i was waiting, a lady asked for the manger cause she didn't like the way her nails looked like. i should have taken that as a sign to not waste my money 0/10 read more

I am not one to leave reviews but after this experience I had to. I went in for a full set recently and came out so disappointed. Not only was I disappointed I was cut pretty badly. Not once did my nail tech apologize for cutting me or offer some sort of discount for hurting me and cutting me. This used to be my go to spot but I sadly will be finding somewhere else. read more

I was here the day before New year's Eve. Was going to leave a very long post but they said I wrote too much. So these are the highlights. The person that was doing my nails did not want to put a false tip on. Did not want to do any type of design. There is no sanitation they are rude and no sense of personal hygiene. So I turned to my mother-in-law because she was nice enough to take her granddaughter and I out to do our nails. I said to her I'm not getting my nails done they don't want to put a tip on or do a design. My mother-in-law is very loud and speaks her mind. So she got upset very quickly when I said that and said why can't you put a nail on for her it's not that serious why can't you fix it. I was sitting over there it's not that serious I'll go somewhere else thank you for the pedicure. and my mother-in-law got mad and then the person doing her nails jumped up and said no I will fix it don't worry. But you will have to put on an acrylic or dip. I said no can you not just put super glue on it and then the no chip should be strong enough to hold it. They told me no. When I know for a fact you can do that . My mother-in-law is very persistent and persuaded me to get a manicure. Also I didn't want to be rude so. Like an idiot I looked up another picture of a design to get my nails done very simple just glitter on top of nail polish one nail polish only getting half glitter. I did this mainly because if I'm going to pay for my nails to get done might as well look like they were paid for. I could do a polish change the blush pink color I did because I had the same color at home. The reason why I say color change and not manicure. it's because she did not push down cut look at a cuticle I know she brought the cuticle cutters out and I think she cut like the tip of the corners beginning of my fingers. But definitely not a manicure. When I tried showing her the picture real really she said. And I quote can't you just let me do your nail first. How you going to know what I want done if I don't tell you. But I guess I understood since she didn't shape file she buffed in the nails. Then told me to go rinse my hands not wash my hands don't use soap. while she was painting my nails she complained about how long my nails were. She then called over the person doing my mother's in-laws nails . Which I really feel bad for my mother-in-law because this person has no sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. They smell like a dirty ashtray bad Bo. Like it was alarming I don't know how I did not. And my mother-in-law is a heavy smoker and it smelled like this person hasn't changed and was chain-smoking for 3 days. Their hands and underneath their nails is dirty. They do manicures for a living. This person had to do the falls tip and dip. once my niece and I were done moved to the waiting area where I overheard somebody else talking to their husband or boyfriend asking for cash for a tip and very disappointed in their nails as well when I significant other acts like you say anything she said it's fine it's fine give me cash so I can leave. A few seconds later my mother-in-law started yelling for me very cash for a tip. My niece and I scrounged up maybe $30 bucks. Because I only had it maybe $9 in cash. Everything else was on the card. And my niece had twenty bucks some how she's 12. Once we left my mother-in-law said that the block is used to scrub your foot was dirty she did not let them use it on her. And then I realize thinking back that nothing came out of his sanitation pack everything came out of drawers like if I kept it at home. read more

I like coming here to get my eyebrows waxed and shaped up. Phillip has been the only one I allowed to do my eyebrows. He makes sure that he takes his time and gets your eyebrows nicely shaped. I made the mistake of letting another person wax my eyebrows and it was a bit of a mistake. One of my eyebrows were going in a whole different direction. Phillip knows actually how I like my eyebrows. He is patient and attentive to getting my eyebrows shaped up nicely. read more

Today was my first time ever coming here. Andy was the guy who did my nails, he was very nice. I have never seen someone do a fill in as quick as him. Which was awesome because I was on my way to work. He was very clean and wanted to make sure that I liked my nails. I definitely recommend him. The only thing about this place is you have to make sure you have cash tips only. You cannot put any tips on your debit or credit card. read more

loved the service and the supplies were great!!! it was such a good space to be in!!!!

Came for a quick no chip pedicure and it was really good! Katie took her time, and did a great job massaging and putting on a hot towel at the end. My only concern was that they only accept cash tips, so I could not charge it on my card and wanted to give her more than what was in leftover in my purse. read more

NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. my nails look like a 5 year old did them. I got a full set acrylic's. There all uneven and were horribly put on. I go to the lee nails in the suburbs and they are great. This lee nails was near my job and I thought they were going to be good as the one I go to in the suburbs. They were disrespectful and rude. They saw how that lady did my nails, yet they did nothing and would even redo them. I asked for a refund and they wouldn't give me a refund. read more

Ummm, there's no way I should walk into a business and immediately feel unwanted. No friendly welcome, no hello, just " go wash your hands". So I try and explain that I'm just getting a pedicure, she didn't let me finish before she screams at me " wash your hands please!". Okay cool, BET! By this time, I'm just a tad upset. I sit in the chair, mind you, I'm short, so this chair is a little far back for me. She is watching me play with the remote but refuses to ask me do I need help. Okay cool, now I'm getting a little angry. As I'm asking questions about pricing, she walks away and starts speaking whatever language! Okay, now I'm PISSED! Another customer walks in, of a different skin color, and she's greeted like they're old friends! Seriously!!! SMH!!! My wife, who is the same color as me, walks in a little later, and again, she's also greeted with complete dryness. No hello, no acknowledgment! And this is after sitting there, waiting for someone to ask her what she needs. Heck NO! I will NEVER BE BACK! Treat ALL of your customers the same, including NEW AND BLACK! read more

So far this is my favorite nail salon in the city of Chicago, no joke. I'm so happy to see their new location open, and I'm impressed with how lovely it is! Easy to get to, and with ample free parking, it's situated at the end of the strip, in the plaza that homes Jo Ann fabrics, Microcenter, and PetsMart. Nice pedicures with several add on options such as parafin treatment. Skilled staff is wonderful. The new pedicure chairs are insanely nice- great fluid motion massages with easy controls, dual cup holders, and sparkly bases and tubs. GLITTER! Yep, glitter bases on the chairs- so pretty. They still do acrylic nails and wraps unlike many unskilled places that have recently popped up, and they do them VERY GOOD. My no-chip manicures always last the longest when they come from here. Seriously, I've gone a month without a single chip. I love the fact that they have such an extensive selection of polish & no-chip to pick from at all times. Also, if you're like me and like to color coordinate your fingers and toes but prefer no chip on your fingers- they have their bottles marked with color-coordinated shades so they can easily grab a matching polish to your no chip for your toes. I've been to numerous places where they play The Guessing Game and have to go back and forth between shades trying to find which one matches the no chip which can take time and you're never quite sure you got the right color. At Lee Nails it's always easy and quick to match shades between regular polish and gel. The new location is absolutely gorgeous. I'll be back. read more

I was hesitant to write this review as the workers were so kind but I felt needed to warn others! I got a dip manicure and the nails themselves are okay but I have cuts all around my cuticles. They used the drill to remove them. It wasn't super painful at the time but when I got home I noticed that all of my nails are lined with blood and cuts. It hurts to wash my hands. read more

I had a horrible experience and left with nails that were uneven, the person who did my nails was rude and complained about what I asked for (reverse French manicure) kept telling me how awful my nails were and in the end the result were streaky gel nails that were uneven and polish on my skin. I would not recommend this place. read more

I could've done this terrible pedicure myself at home. Paint on the skin. Nail not fully covered in polish. Uneven application. Not clean lines. I asked for them to be fixed/done better and after three tries this picture is the best they could do. Completely unprofessional like someone they just pulled off the street to do pedicures. Not very clean overall. Will not be back. read more

As a loyal customer that visits at least every two weeks it's sad to say that Lee nails has officially lost my business and everyone else I have referred them to. I arrived yesterday at 330 the shop was more busy than normal but nothing a professional place shouldn't be able to handle. I didn't make an appointment but used to sign in sheet. 30-45 mins pass and I notice that people who walked in after me with out an appt (I'm standing at the front can clearly hear them say no appt please sign in) are now being seating. I finally get told to take a seat at one of their nails stations only to be moved back to the waiting area 30 mins later. At this point I'm getting frustrated but keep telling myself "you waited this long already any other shop will be packed since now it's close to 5". I finally receive another seat. Mind you I have no chip you would think while I'm waiting someone could at least have my nails soaking. I return to the useless front desk person and ask her who exactly am I waiting for. She replies who ever is available next. I let her know I been waiting for now over an hour I take a look at the sign in sheet everyone that signed in after me has been taken care of. She replies there are still 3 people ahead of me. I can seriously go on and on about how unprofessional and disorganized this salon is. I walked out at 5pm after waiting almost 2 hours! I'm sure I wasn't the only customer they lost yesterday another lady walked out before me. If they want to keep their business they should definitely invest in a more organized and professionally "front desk" person. She was absolutely useless read more

So the reason I went here was for convenience sake - I ended up having the 'deluxe' manicure for $22. Few things: the salt scrub and paraffin were decent enough but I am spoiled by shoulder massages almost everywhere else. That seemed to be expected while I waited with my hands in the paraffin - not so much. After she took the wax off it was time to pay - no massage with lotion or anything. I was a bit surprised. Also, from the beginning she just filed my nails into sharp square corners, no offer to cut them down. Again, this isn't my regular spot so I figured whatever but for $22 no massage or hot towels?! The pedicure chairs looked nice and the service menu descriptions rather appealing so maybe I'll be back to try one. I am satisfied with my manicure 'finished product' just not the value or service itself. read more

I never write reviews but I feel it's necessary to write a review to hopefully sway others from wasting their time and money at this shady establishment. I came here a week prior to get no chip manicure , removal of acrylic nails and a pedicure! Everything was fine total with a 15.00 tip was $79.00 . I noticed after four days two fingers have chipped pretty badly. I'm a flight attendant so I'm constantly washing my hands that could be part of the reason. Once I'm back in Chicago , I return to the salon, to see if they could fix the two chipped nails, every other nail was ok. The person taking appointments asked me rudely do you know who did your nails , are you sure it was here. I said yes I live down the street and I've come here many times. I pull out the salon business card with the techs name on it and my receipt. The techs then try's to persuade me to change all the nail color for new color. I said how much is that? She says 25.00 I said no thanks seeing I just got them done I only want the two nails that are chipped to be fix. She states speaking Chinese acting rude tell me to try and match the color I had . I said I wasn't sure if she could assist me in matching the color she wouldn't. Long story short she mismatched the color . Screamed at me said it was my fault cause I picked the color . Just overall rude . I spend too much on my nails and I'm a generous topper and loyal Client to be treated so disrespectfully . I will never return . read more

I was in the area and needed a place to pop in for a no-chip... It was the middle of the day, on a Wednesday, and I was able to walk-in and be seen right away. The woman (didn't get her name) who did my nails was very pleasant, and honestly, did a better job than most other manicures I've had. Plus, it was $30, which is a little less than I've paid at other shops. So, better outcome + lower price = I'll definitely be back!!! read more

My nails had broken within 24 hours of getting the nails done. Mind you I do not work at a very heavy job. The lady who did my Acrylic set made the nail really thin. Everything that is in the picture of my broken nail was actually my nail with a thin layer of the acrylic nail. I went in to get the issue fixed and they said they would charge me to fix them and/or remove them even though they were clearly not done right. Within 48 hours the nails were chipping its color and three of the nails had broken. The nail tech that did my nails painted them then followed through with a nail file on all of them, literally removing the actual paint from my nails. I have never actually broken a nail ever In my life, I take care of my acrylic nails a lot in fact but by the end of three days I had four broken nails with chipping nail polish and an infected cut from the drill. Would definitely not recommend. read more

Got my nails done today. They have several bubbles, good thing I got a no Chip color over. The shape of one is off. Was good, but kinda rushed. My daughter got a no Chip, and it is gorgeous. So next time I think I will just get a no chip and not a full set as well. read more

I've been going to this salon for the last 6 years. The owners make it a point to remember their regular's names and preferences. Their no-chip lasts longer than any other salon I've been to. Highly recommend their eyebrow waxing too. read more

I have been to this location a few times and decided to get my acrylic nails removed. One of the male nail tech struggled to remove them and filed down my natural nails super thin. There are obvious redness and damage underneath my nails. I've gotten my acrylic nails removed all the time at different locations and this has never happened until I tried this place out. It's been four days since the removal. All my fingertips are still super sensitive and am not able to do anything (can't even wash my hair). It feels like my nail will break if I apply pressure or bend it. My nails, in fact, has chipped since then. Aside from that I had to ask the nail tech at the time to shape the edge of my nails three times after he said it was done. The edges were all so sharp, crooked and piece of my nail was still hanging onto the corner of my finger. Was not worth $10 for this type of poor service. Super disappointed. read more

By far the best nail spot for me! Don is great! He took his time and was careful with my manicure and pedicure. Atmosphere was relaxing, welcoming and clean. They sanitize after each customer. Sometimes you feel rushed at places not not here. I felt like he took his time. That's great!! Thank you Don! read more

My go-to place was booked so I thought I'd try this one out. I walked in and they were packed but they told me they could take me and to pick a color. As I looked around I noticed everything was dirty and disorganized. The nail polish selection was very limited and looked old and dried up. The ventilation was also terrible, the smell was overwhelming. I waited a few minutes and continued to look around, they never called me (thankfully) and I decided to put the polish back and leave. I will not be back, this place creeped me out. To be fair, I didn't stay for the mani/pedi so I can't review that. They may do a great job but first impression didn't let me get that far. read more

I think it's ludicrous that this is the only nail place within a square mile of this shopping center because Lee Nails just plain sucks. I was acknowledged when I walked in. By acknowledgement I just mean that someone told me to put my name on the paper to sign in. No estimated wait time or anything. I sat for about 20 minutes before I said something since no one acknowledged me after I signed in. It took about three minutes for the employees to talk it out before they determined it would be at least 30 minutes before I would even sit down for my manicure. That's when I left. It takes 20 minutes to do a regular manicure - why should I sit around here for 90 minutes for that? On a day like New Year's Eve you should definitely have more than three employees in the whole place. Today is a big party day so if you're going to bother being open at all, get some real service. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes at any nail place to have my mani/pedi started. This is unbelievable and I can guarantee I'll never come back here again. Happy New Year, Lee Nails. read more

I had my gel nails taken off for the summer so I could fall off my skateboard and not break them. Summer's over, so I went here based on a 2009 review saying they use real liquid gel nails. So I get the tips put on, and he pulls out this sweet, plasticy smelling "gel powder," which I know does not exist. It's this scam where they put acrylic on because it's cheaper and then top it off with a gel UV coat. I ask him to show me where the acrylic powder is and he sort of sheepishly looked around and then called the manager over. I tell him I'm not for it, and he brings over the manager who basically admits that it's just a gel overlay. He was sort of apologetic and offered a no-chip manicure which was in his words, "it *is* all gel." No thanks. Two stars because the salon is clean and nice, the people getting pedicures seemed happy, and the employees were nice. This is not the place for artificial nails, though. If you want to read up on the "gel nails" / gel powder scam, search for "MMA gel nails" "gel vs acrylic nails" and check this out http://www.beautytech.info/articles/mmafacts.htm. read more

So, even though I'm giving Lee Nails 5 stars (because really, I've become that girl who likes to get my nails done)...I felt I should warn anyone who thinks this is a place to do your eyebrows. Actually, you know what, Jessie and Tina are both great and will not fuck up your eyebrows. One person here will, and I had to learn the hard way. That was my fault for becoming too comfortable with the staff here and for being lazy and not doing them on my own as I had for years. As far as nails go, they're all pretty great, though some are definitely better than others...just, careful with your eyebrows, ladies (and gents). read more
