Long overdue review of Linzy Nail. I chose this shop after leaving my longtime nail salon. I have been here a handful of times for pedicures, manicure and no chip manicures and have been satisfied every time! The staff is nice, they do a great job and their color selection for regular and no-chip nails is phenomenal. My new go to - would definitely recommend! read more

Linzy Nail and Spa - No chip manicure $35 - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We love Linzy Nails! My daughter's fifth birthday party at the salon was a huge success. Thank you for being the best nail salon with the kindest team!! read more

Made an appointment for a no chip manicure and explained when I walked in for my appointment that I had liquid gel on that needed to be taken off. I also asked how long it would take for a no chip manicure and pedi. They asked if I wanted to do both and I said no just no chip mani, as I didn't have the time. They asked what color and I stated I was unsure but will let them know shortly. The nail tech proceeded to take off my liquid gel and was having difficulty, shaking etc...I requested for my nails to be short but not too short because I still wanted the almond shape and the skin underneath my nails is long. I asked if she was going to clip them and then file, she said yes. She proceeded to clip my nails where there is barely any nail left and then one nail so short where she cut my skin off. I asked if she can give me a discount immediately she said she will talk to someone about it. After an hour she said she was done and to wash my hands. It still looked as if some of the liquid gel was still on but I proceeded to wash my hands. I came back and showed her the color I wanted, she said "oh no you said you only wanted a take off, we don't have time my next client is here" I stated that is not what I said. They gave me the soak off for free. I left immediately. I went to another nail shop nearby and they stated they barely did anything. I had to get the rest of the polish taken off and finally a no chip polish. I wasted my time in that shop. At least I paid nothing. NEVER go there! Unprofessional! If you can't provide my service just say that before you take me as a customer. read more

My girlfriend had bad experience with "dipping powder" nail polish (whatever the hell it might be). According to her, previous attempts made her nails look thick and feel sore. But after today's visit to this place she's a happy woman. Girl named Diana did a great job applying that techique that is longer lasting than regular and "no chip" polish. Definitely a great place to get your nails done! read more

Linzy Nail and Spa - I love this color combo they recommended! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to this salon probably 10 times because it's close to home, but the last two times there have been horrible. Thought I'd give them a chance but two bad experiences in a row, I'm not returning. The nail tech was rude, aggressive and caused a painful mani/pedi. She clearly did not care about my discomfort even though I made it clear my hands/feet don't bend in the direction she was forcing them. Instead, I was getting scolded by her constantly. Horrible customer service. They also had soda cans from prior customers still at the chair I was placed at. Take your money elsewhere. read more

I had the best experience at Linzy nails today. My nails look amazing and technician was very friendly and professional! read more

Had a friends birthday party here and the service was incredible! They even gifted us a bottle of champagne which was beyond generous. There was 8 of us and everyone was so pleased with their nails. Will definitely be back. Thank you!! read more

I highly recommend this salon. Definitely come back again. My gel didn't chip. I hope Julie will start doing facial in there.

What a nice find! I was at currency exchange around the corner and saw Linzy Nail And Spa. I don't get a lot of mani/pedis, but I have an upcoming event so I got a no- chip manicure and regular pedicure. The nail technician (I wish I got her name) was very thorough and gentle. My cracked cuticles and callouses are gone and the St. Paddy's Day green colors look fabulous. Thank you!! read more

Perfect Massage and clean place.Highly recommended. All tech' s are so freindly and experienced

The 3 times I have come here they have rushed and been aggressive. Causing my cuticles to bleed and feel uncomfortable. They did not seem to care and I was making it obvious I was being hurt. I would not come back. read more

I went in for the first time on Sunday afternoon to get a no-chip (gel) manicure. The technician who did my manicure rushed through the process, did sloppy work, and when I asked for some touch-ups on the manicure (ie: needed cleaning up, needed an extra coat of polish), she refused and said she would have to charge me extra for an additional coat of polish. I was very disappointed by the sloppy work and rude service. I will definitely not be returning. I have also learned based on other reviews that the no-chip mani is supposed to include the collagen glove treatment, which I did not receive. read more

My new go-to place since I've moved back to Lincoln Park! Everyone is so friendly and does such a good job! It is also very clean and organized. I feel very comfortable coming here, no matter who is my tech. Also I can always easily get an appointment! I will continue to come as long as I live in LP! read more

I came here last Sat. and it was my first visit. I got nochip manicure, lady at reception was really nice and helped me pick up the color (I am very indecisive). Store was pretty big and it was cute. They have attic-kinda area upstairs but it's open space so ceiling is high which I really like because you get this chemical stings much less compare to other salons. Most important part: my nochip has been one week and non of my nails has chipped off. It still stays perfectly and I love it! I think I will be regular here, definitely recommend! read more

I've always had a great experience here and love that they have now added dipping powders. I tried dipping powder at another salon years ago and didn't like it, but the dipping experience with Diana at Linzy got me hooked! I'm very picky about how my nails are done and return here regularly for a consistent, quality services! read more

Love this salon come every other Sunday with 6 year old daughter for no chip mani for me and mani pedi for her. Great reasonable pricing! Also back massage, neck wrap & friends streaming all day everyday read more

Linzy Nail and Spa - No chip manicure 6 days later - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Don't go here! This is supposed to be a friendly neighborhood spot but they are unfriendly and greedy. They claim to have a guarantee on your no chip for up to a week. If you do have a chip they just spot check it with the color. If you do request for them to fix the entire actual nail, they charge you $10. Not the warm, gracious, and appreciative shop that you'd expect to be in a family friendly neighborhood like Lakeview. Super disappointing! read more

I have been coming to Linzy for a few years now. They changed ownership fairly recently and I didn't know it was possible for them to get any better, but they did. The No Chips come with a collagen treatment that moisturizes and protects your hands from the light. My cuticles are always an issue and the time and attention to detail they spend on them is great. I also love that they offer a rewards program. This pays off as I come every two weeks. Normally I would say the name of a favorite technician, but in all honesty, each one there is just as great as the next. The salon is immaculate and their appts always run on time. Although I live right down the street, I have friends that now travel across the city to come to Linzy. They are the best! read more

I have been coming here for a while without complaint but this time I am quite upset. I got a no chip manicure and it's already chipped, 8 days later. Very upsetting read more

Linzy Nail and Spa - So disappointed on my no chip mani that had lasted 8 days!!! What the heck!? - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was my second time trying no-chip nails and Nicki did an amazing job! My first set lasted me two weeks with no chips! I also love that they put a pair of collagen gloves on my hands because then it protects my hands from the UV light. It was $35 which is a bit on the expensive side but the quality is worth it. I'll be coming back again. Photo included so you can see what a great job it was! read more

I've been coming to Linzy for years, it's my go-to last-thing before a trip for mani-pedis. The place is always clean and the technicians are always friendly. I love that they always have the newest OPI and Essie colors to choose from. If you live in Lakeview, don't walk further than Linzy to get your nails done. read more

Sitting here 2 weeks out from a no chip and it still looks brand new! LOVE THIS PLACE!

I had a terrible experience at this salon. I purchased a mani/pedi - a simple service to complete. The nail technician for the mani was using blunt tools on me, and I'm pretty sure they were used on the customer before me (and before her). I've never had a PAINFUL manicure before... until I came to this place. She was ripping my cuticles out with her dirty/blunt tools, and I told her that I needed to soak my nails more in soap water, and I asked for a new emery board (used ones spread nail fungus, people!!!) and clean tools out of the sanitizing machine. She pretended like she couldn't hear me/couldn't understand me. She filed my nails down to stubs, and I had plenty of length going into the salon. It got to the point where she was filing my damn skin on my thumb, and I pulled away! I ended up with infections on THREE of my fingers. The woman working on my toes was clearly inexperienced, and skipped steps of the pedicure. They were all rushing to leave the salon, because I took the last available appointment that day. The experience was VERY unprofessional, and I would not recommend this salon to anyone in Chicago. Sidenote: the salon looks bright and clean from the sidewalk looking in, but beware, their tools are old, and their chairs are dirty, and falling apart as well. No amount of bright paint on the walls, and bleach on the floors can make up for the lack of customer service, and the dirty items in this salon. I've never been so disappointed with a salon in my life. read more

Great service, clean environment. They take their time and do a very neat job. Great selection of colors both gel and regular. Would definitely return and get more services done. read more

This is by far one of the best nail salons I've found in Chicago. I moved to River North after being a customer for a year and I still make the drive back to Lincoln Park because the quality is the best I've found. My no-chip manicures generally last for three weeks when I get them done at Linzy, compared to just about two weeks at other salons in River North. Really recommend this place if you need a good nail salon! read more

I'm so happy to have found a place that is friendly and the work is consistent! Everyone is really nice and the space is beautiful and calming. My no chips last a legit 2 weeks! I'm really really rough on them because of the business I'm in. Love them! P.s They also have an awesome spray tan. read more

They did a great job. They were very fast and efficient. But $30 for a pedicure?! WTF?! It's my fault for not asking first. But yeah, $30 for a pedicure is pretty steep in my book. read more

I don't enjoy posting a bad review, maybe I just came in on their off day of kindness and welcoming. Sad because I really wanted to like this place. Top it off it was my first time there and my last, I will not be back. read more

I've been going to Linzy's weekly or every week for about 9 months now. I'm always greeted with fast, friendly service. The staff always takes pride in doing a really great job. So I'm always eager to get my nails done and 100% happy upon leaving. There are many choices for nails in the city but Living in Ravenswood I take the time to drive to Linzy's in Lincoln Park, because it's absolutely worth it!! read more

Absolutely GREAT! I have been a regular client for over 10 years. Despite management and personnel changes over time, this remains my "go to" salon for manicures, pedicures and waxing. A Very welcoming and clean environment. Sam and Angie usually provide my great nail services. But other techs have done a fine job as well. I don't suffer fools, so it speaks volumes that I have frequented this salon weekly for over a decade! The frequent punch card is additional incentive to get frequent manicures! :) read more

Terrible manicure. She didn't know how to take off a no chip and scratched my nails - they look awful! She didn't know how to trim cuticles or apply polish evenly. I just had her take it off and walked out. Worst manicure ever. I'll never go here again!!! read more

Always excellent, high quality service. Usually get gel manicure and pedicure here and they always do a great job. Also, they give you a card that you can stamp off as you get services- after 9 stamps you get a free manicure! Would highly recommend this place. read more

I've been coming here for over 3 years. Always a good experience. I've gotten my nails done other places, but they do it the best!! They take their time and really are all perfectionists plus they have an excellent selection of various types of nail polish. I am a no chip kinda girl due to my profession. I get a no chip mani/regular pedi here 1-2x/month typically. Everyone here is very friendly :-) read more

I have lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years and I love having a great nail salon just around the corner. I am a regular client at Linzy Nail -- I prefer the no chip manicure every two weeks and love a pedicure every month. There is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the salon, it's clean and comfortable with tons of natural light and guests are treated to a short shoulder massage at the end of every manicure. Highly recommend this salon when you need an hour to yourself! read more

I love this place! It recently changed ownership and the place got a "facelift" making it even better! The massage chairs for the pedicures are fantastic and they give you heated neck/shoulder wraps during your services. I typically get no-chip manicures and you get collagen gloves to moisturize your hands and protect them from the UV lights, which I have never been given at any other salon. The staff could not be nicer and they do great work...my no-chips usually last between 14-21 days. I highly recommend!!! read more

By far the best nail salon in the city! My no chip always stays on for 3+ weeks. Incredible attention to detail - collagen masks for hands, hot oil wraps for feet, warm towels and shoulder massages. Cute shows/movies are always playing on their large screen tv. No other place in Chicago compares! read more

They just got new ownership and the quality has gone far down. The only nail person I will see is Sam. He is great.

My usual nail place was booked and this one is very close to where I live so I figured it would be good to check it out. The place is huge and very clean and overall my nails look fine so take the rest of the review for what it's worth. I walked in and there were virtually no clients here or waiting and about 3 nail techs at the ready so that part was quick (I was in for a pedi/no chip mani) and so I get settled in the chair for my pedi, put on the massagers, open a magazine and get ready to relax and then another tech comes over and asks if she can start my fingernails. I should have told her no but I was caught off guard so I figured she could file and buff - whatever. So now I'm sitting there, magazine falling off my lap, torso twisted, arms awkwardly reaching over the side and obviously not relaxing at all! And she didn't just buff or file she started trimming my cuticles - while the massage chair was still going and my upper body is shaking and of course - I get a snip and start bleeding. At this point I was pretty frustrated because there was NOBODY there. Why were they rushing me through this? Granted, I like efficiency but I also go to treat myself and relax a bit. My cuticle snip is really sore this morning and I would say that I won't be coming back here. It was pricier than my old place and I just didn't love the service. read more
