    Clean, calm, modern space! This nail shop is unassuming and you might walk right by it without knowing it's there. There's a sidewalk sign and secure entry. The shop is upstairs tucked away in the back. They have ample polish colors to choose from. My favorite feature is that I can book and/reschedule my appointments as needed al through their website. They don't accept cash and do charge a small credit card fee. Try the Russian manicure, it lasts so long!

    I learned of this wonderful nail chain when I started visiting the West Loop/Greek town location but soon fell in love with their Lakeview/Belmont location! I genuinely truly love nail tech Lisa. She does my pedicures, overlays, no chip, pedicures, etc. and is patience with me. I've also have had my eyebrows and lashes done here and every service I have had has been wonderful. And I do think their prices are fair; I have gone to other places that are good, but the prices tend to be inflated. Not only is the customer service top-notch the salon itself is beautiful and clean. This is a nail salon that actually cares about their services and their customers! I have not tried their other locations, but I am confident that the other locations are just as wonderful.

    Everything from start to finish was very smooth. The online booking process was very easy. Before the start of the pandemic, I used to get my nails done every 2-3 weeks for years. I just really loved having polished and pretty nails. After seeing so many social media posts from this business, I was inspired to take the plunge and go back to getting them done. I did some research about the apres gelx system and decided it was worth trying. Sam was my nail artist and I appreciated that she walked me through everything she was doing while applying the gelx to my nails. I showed her a design that I was wanting and she was able to do a great job at drawing inspiration from it. The space is airy and clean. They offer options to host private parties in the space and I wish I had a reason to host one. It would be on my radar for sure.

    Disappointed that I'm already seeing chipping and color fading/lifting on the edges of my nails 1.5 days after I got my no chip manicure. For a $100 no chip manicure you would think that the results would at least last longer than 1.5 days... Attaching photos where you can see the chips and will say the fading is definitely more noticeable in person. Will not be returning for the price and quality of manicure...

    Gel overlay manicure with chrome

    TLDR; manicures and gel overlay manicures are especially worth it. Skip the pedicure. Legendary is easily the cutest and cleanest salon I've been to in the area. I will admit I just checked them out because I saw a friend tag them on Instagram and the salon looked beautiful. I was just tired of dingy, cheap salons with uncomfortable interactions. Legendary lives up to the insta-worthy interior. Service has always been kind, but occasionally running behind. I've never waited more than 10 minutes to start. Services are more expensive than other salons but in my experience it's worth it. I've had multiple gel manicures but was really wow'd by my gel overlay manicures. The meticulous detail lives up to my critical eye and man, do they last. As someone who can barely get to 10 days on a gel manicure without chips, the gel overlay lasted weeeekkss. Nazz has been excellent and while the manicure is expensive, I know if I want a beautiful, long lasting mani, this is the one to get. I booked a pedicure for the first time recently and was disappointed. I booked a back to back service after a manicure and waited 20 minutes in between. I get that services can run behind but it was late and I was anxious to get back to my car before parking expired. Like many other reviews note, the chairs aren't comfy but that's not a deal-breaker. Their pedicure chairs aren't plumbed with water, so the water brought from a sink elsewhere got so cold, so fast. The bowl of water has a removable plastic shelf on top to rest your foot, but it doesn't lock in place. The weight of your leg will push it off or tip the bowl over, so I had to sit with my legs tense and hovering the entire time. The service itself was nice with a scrub and lotion, standard polish. However, I was hoping for more filing on my heels to get rid of dead skin. I went home to do it myself. I will absolutely be back for manicures but the pedicures just aren't up to the same standard.

    Missing chrome
    Laura A.

    This place is sadly not worth the hype, in my opinion. I did a no-chip "hailey Bieber" manicure, which required chrome to be added. It's just a single layer of powder that took less than 2 minutes to do. However, I was charged an additional $20 for "art", making my total with a 20% tip $96. The cost would have been fine, but the application is unfortunately very uneven and looks quite bad in some lighting. For the cost, I'm disappointed in the quality. My nails also have a bit of jagged shaping. I'm not going to bash the nail tech, because she was extremely nice. She offered to fix anything I wanted at several points during the appointment, had I noticed then I probably would have asked her to smooth them out a bit more, so that's on me. I don't expect perfection with my nails, I just wish it were a bit cheaper for the quality. I don't plan on returning here, but the salon itself was cute and clean.

    This place is my holy grail nail salon. I've lived in Lakeview/Lincoln Park for about 6.5 years now and have tried a bunch of different places, and different types of manicures -- classic, no-chip, dip... I have pretty weak nails and could never get one to really last without chipping or a nail breaking. Years of getting dip ruined my nails, tbh. I saw an influencer post about this salon and figured -- hey, why not try it out! That was back in December 2021 -- since then, I've been back a few times and my nails are longer and healthier than they've ever been. I'm so amazed -- they look bomb! I've been getting a gel overlay and am literally never going back. They even do really beautiful, polished, meticulous nail art (make sure when booking you select the option for nail art so they have time). I've seen Julie, Natalia, and Andrea, and all are so talented. Attached pic is my current nails by Julie - I brought her a picture I found on Instagram and she did an amazing job. If you're reading this and are on the fence about booking -- GO! And get a gel overlay. :) Side note - since this place is so great, they book pretty far out! It's worth the wait and planning. I recommend trying to book a month in advance at minimum.

    Alyssa is an amazingly professional esthetician. I followed her to Legendary from a previous salon, and was continued to be impressed by not only her services but the salon at large. Legendary is a beautifully calm atmosphere with excellent service, and the best of the best technicians. I highly recommend this business, and if you are looking for someone to take care of your skin - book with Alyssa today!

    I finally came to Legendary after hearing many excellent reviews from returning customers. I got my first gel overlay manicure and I am a little disappointed with how the manicure has held up. I experienced many heat spikes during the curing process, but my technician didn't seem to think much of it. Afterwards my nail beds were a bit sensitive for the next several hours. As this was my first gel overlay I'm not sure if this is normal, but I've never experienced this with other no-chip manicures. I started noticing lifting and chipping around day 8. It looks like on the website they do offer repairs up to day 10, but with my schedule I don't think I would've been able to get into before the 10-day mark. I think did really like the salon and would return, but I don't think I'd opt for a gel overlay again.

    This is my new favorite nail salon. Natalia is fantastic and so is Julie. Natalia is a total perfectionist and helped me deal with left over acrylic damage - now I'm doing the gel overlay which is so much better. Also their appointment interface on their website is really easy to use and checks for next available times on dates you want to book an appointment. The front hostess was lovely too and super accommodating

    View from the entrance!

    TLDR; Absolutely love this place, HIGHLY recommend! I've been a lot of places to get my nails done, and I'm VERY picky about two things: my cuticles and how the manicure wears over time. #1Legendary used a method I've only seen here in Chicago where they really get into the base of cuticles and allow the polish/gel to really get back to the base of the nail so there are no gaps, and the cuticles are SO clean. This also helps with #2-the wear. I get the bio-sculpture gel overlay and its legitimately lasted 3 weeks. The process is a little longer than a regular gel manicure but my gel manis have peeled off, and dip manicures just destroy my nails. But this has helped my nails regain strength, and the growth I see (aka the gap that shows up between my polish and cuticle) is MUCH slower to appear because the polish was so far back on my nail bed. I'm HARD on my nails. Which is why I used to do dipping powder manis, but the growth would leave a big awkward gap that felt like a shelf and would snag on things. These grow Out smoothly and Have yet to chip or peel. The staff is nice, the music is pretty good, and it's of course aesthetically pleasing. The chairs are a little uncomfortable but it's rare to go to a place where that isn't true. The only real issue I can think of is that it's hard to get in for appointments but i think that's going to be easier with their second location that just opened!

    Do you guys do kids mani & pedi..? I do not see it on your site...

    Hi there - yes, we offer Kids Mani and Pedis for those 12 and over. Same pricing and service options as listed on our website. Children 12 and under are not permitted in the salon unless they are part of a private group/party that has booked!

I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes.

I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!

I haven't had a mani pedi since at least October 2019, if not further back than that. They haven't been my #1 priority for pampering (that's a facial), but it do enjoy it. I learned about Dazzle Dry polish in the last year or so and have been curious to try it ever since, but it appears that there's only a few salons in the city that use it and so that's what led me to Spa Avenue. When I got there the woman who worked on me was ready to start immediately; it just took me a few minutes to choose my color. I suppose it was a fairly standard manicure/pedicure, but still I appreciated her attention to detail and she had a great touch--not too rough or anything. My hands and feet feel so nice and soft now. My hands had been really dry lately but they feel soft and supple a day later. Dazzle Dry is fantastic, so between that and the good service I experienced here that will keep me coming back. I usually don't get color on my fingernails when I get a pedicure, I just get them buffed because if they aren't chipped by the time I leave the salon, they are by the end of that same evening. Over 24 hours later, there's not a chip to be seen on my nails currently. It's supposed to last something like 7-10 days and I believe it. It's also great because unlike no-chip, it doesn't have to cure or anything and you can remove it with regular acetone nail polish remover I think. I didn't realize how excited I would be to be able to wear nail color on my fingernails again, or how much I love the look of it! I'm not kidding when I say I gave up on nail polish well over a decade ago and haven't worn it since, and now I can't wait to return and try other colors. I wish I had gotten the name of the nail tech who worked on me today because she was excellent and I'd love to request her specifically next time. But all the folks here seem to know what they're doing so I would expect to have a good experience with anyone.
