Smudged no chip nail polish, cut toe, unclean cuticles

Worst pedicure experience ever. From now reading the reviews I guess it depends who you get at this place. My nail tech rushed the whole time, she cut me multiple times and just brushed off the fact that I was bleeding and asked me to put my foot back in the water. The tools were not opened in front of me and were just sitting in a cup on the caddy, I'm sure not sterilized from the person before. The whole time I was telling this girl how to do her job. I'm pregnant and really am trying to care for my feet doing pedis for overall circulation health, and I had to tell this girl to scrub my feet for callus removal. I also asked she glue down the broken corner instead of leaving it hanging. I got no chip and she globbed on so much that the light did not cure it, so it is literally smudged, like what was the purpose of the extra 10$ if it's not dry?! She literally applied the lotion and rubbed it in with no massage, while my husband was having the time of his life getting a good scrub and massage. Such a waste of an hour and 50$ for something I will now spend more money to go fix. I sat in chair 6, this young girl was obnoxious and rough and highly recommend everyone to STEER CLEAR.

I got a gel mani with nail art and regular pedi before my birthday. Even though I was going on a Thursday morning, I made an appointment to be safe. I'm glad I did because it got really busy, even at 10:30am on a Thursday. Pedi was good and then I moved to get my mani. They were really busy at this point and I had to wait a bit. It was a bit frustrating that they weren't managing traffic very well and telling all the walk-ins they could help them right away, and people who had made appointments (myself and a few others who came in) were waiting. The first girl who started my nails was talking on her phone and not paying much attention to what she was doing and I eventually flagged another employee down about it (who seemed like a manager of sorts). She moved her and then I waited a bit more. And then finally was put with someone else. The lady who did my nails was great and I loved the finished product. Prices are very reasonable and they did a great job. I'll definitely be back but maybe come earlier in the week.

Great dip manicure! One of the best I've gotten in Chicago

Great dip manicure! The service was quick and the great quality. Would definitely come back!

I'm a nail tech's most annoying client. I'm pretty particular about my nail shape, quality and clean lines. Mia took her time and was very patient with me. She was very sweet to me and other customers. I will certainly return :)

Great salon! Everyone is very nice, and they always squeeze you in even when they're busy. The salon is clean, and they are always willing to charge my phone, which was almost dead each time I went. The first time I went in I did dip nail extensions, and they looked beautiful and natural. Dip can be really thick, which I don't particularly like, so I'd never done it before. I said I was willing to try it but wanted to make sure it looked as natural as possible. They seemed a little reluctant to make them as thin as I wanted, warning me they could break, but they still did it. They didn't break at all, and I had them on for 4 weeks! Normally my nails stop growing when I have fake nails on top, like acrylics, but that didn't happen here. The second time I went I removed the dip and got regular no chip, as my nails had grown out. Unfortunately here's where I have to take a star off. They tech was great; she did a good job and was great to talk to, but they've already chipped quite a bit and it has only been a week. I get there had to be 3 layers with the blue I chose, but I've had 3 layers before and it was fine. I did a chrome accent nail but that chipped in a day; not sure why. However, I enjoyed my experience each time and would go back, though I'd likely only ask for 2 layers max with no chip.

I know they say dip or gel is better for your nails, but I am an acrylic girl through and through. These days it's really hard to find a place that not only does Acrylic fills but does them exceptionally well. Lumera, however is one of those rare places. When you come to lumera not only can you expect a high quality manicure, but you'll find some incredible customer service and highly knowledgeable staff to match. Not to mention the incredible selection of colors they have. Any crazy design or whacky color you'll be able to find it here. Seriously I cannot recommend this place enough!

Gia D.

I don't like getting my nails done because of bad experiences with either quality or cleanliness. I wish I had a before picture of how bad my natural nails were. They were cracked and split from working and I was hesitant going to a nail salon. Son took his time and was very gentle knowing how sensitive my nails were. I'm beyond impressed with the shape considering I didn't have one to begin with. Will now be my go to

I always have the best experience at Lumera. Sometimes they can be quite busy so I've found it you go during "off" hours, you'll be in and out in a timely fashion! Today I went right when they opened and I got the trendy "chrome" nails. I loved them. The service was also impeccable. I had a cut in my hand that the acetone was hurting, so they replaced my bandaid for me and made sure it didn't touch the acetone. Just above and beyond. They take care to make sure that you're happy with your nails, and if you're not happy they will fix anything!! Overall I love it here and recommend it to everyone I know!

Paige D.

Loved that I was able to walk in today and get a great manicure and pedicure service. Prices are reasonable and they do a lovely job. I'll definitely go back.

Idalis S.

This was my first time at Lumera and I have to say I was so impressed! They were able to take me right away as a walk in on a Friday afternoon. The service was incredibly friendly as soon as I walked in the door and throughout the my entire experience. I decided to treat myself to a pedicure and my first ever dip manicure. Luckily I went in with an exact color in mind, otherwise I could have spent an hour looking through all the color options they carry! I usually dread trips to the nail salon because I've always felt super rushed, which in turn results in sloppy nails, but my experience at Lumera could not have been more different! I think I just found my new go-to salon in the neighborhood

Yeun P.

I usually go to them because they always have spots available at any time but to be honest, the woman who does the acrylic nails and who sits by the front is very rude and she rushes through her work. I asked for a "long square" shape and this is what I got. It's super lumpy and really bulky. Then she got offended that I didn't want to leave her a big tip. I won't be coming back.

one of the worst manicures of my life. uneven application, not to mention the quality of the polish available was so tacky no wonder, even though i used one of the less sticky ones i could find. also did not seem sanitary at all and that was a bit alarming.

Nora M.

I made an appointment that same day and got in. I got seated fast and old powder was soaked off. There is as a lot of color selection and the service was great. I will coming back once this set is grown out.

*Voiceover*: "10 years later..." I know who did my nails this time. It was Ryella and Ryella did amazing work on my dip manicure. I understand why Lumera is mad busy (note: they accept both appointments and walk-ins, but expect a wait depending on the day and time. I needed to soak off my last mani so it wasn't a big deal to me, but it might seem lengthy if you have bare nails and/or want a basic mani). If all of their nail techs are as good as Ryella, it's worth it. I will absolutely be back! read more

Very nice salon!! New to area and trying to find a new nail salon was much harder than I anticipated. Spent two days trying to do drop ins and everyone said no. Then tried making appointments, but no call back. This place answered immediately when I called and was able to get me in when I wanted. Yelp helped me find this place that was conveniently located. I went with a pedicure and dip mani (another issue, several places I called didn't offer dip services??) I was identified right away, asked to pick my colors and taken right to my pedicure chair. Of note, a person came in about 10 minutes after me as a walk in and he was taken in right away. The lady that did my nails was excellent. It had been a few weeks, so she had her work cut out for her. Excellent job of toes, not as much massage as I typically enjoy, but the chair was comfortable and the water was just right. After my toes were done, we moved to the hands table where she did amazing work on my fingers. Perfect shape and the dip doesn't feel heavy or off in any area. Stop by or make appointment, great place to get your nails done. read more

I came here after a friend recommended it to me. I'm so happy I did! The salon is very flexible. I ended up having to call to ask to push my appointment back 30 minutes due to Cubs game day traffic and they were very accommodating. I'm so thankful they were able to do so! I was greeted by name when I walked through the door and had multiple techs check on me during my time there. I originally came for a dip manicure, but asked my tech if they could add gold foils to dip manicures after I saw a jar of gold foils behind her. I asked if she had time to add some to my manicure and we came up with a design on the spot. This is so nice since usually you have to book waaay in advance for a service like this. From their Instagram, I could see that they also do acrylic, gels, and designs. I'm definitely coming back for my next manicure and will be getting a design! I absolutely loveee my new manicure and have already gotten so many compliments on it! read more

This is fr the best nail shop in Chicago!! To start, all of their services are incredible!!! I've gotten dip and gel here from Ryella (she's the best!!!), as well as extensions, and she kills it every time. I've gotten a ton of design work from her, and each time it's somehow even better than the inspo pic. She also takes such good care of my nails - they last forever and don't get brittle or thin like they have in the past with other nail shops. Aside from that, their customer service is incredible! The way they remember their customers and treat them like family is so heartwarming. There was one time an older gentleman came in looking to buy a gift card for his wife, and they immediately recognized him and knew exactly who his wife was, which I thought was so sweet!! I would honestly highly recommend them - I'll never be going to anyone but Lumera!!! read more

Lumera never disappoints! You can tell they are passionate about nails as they keep up with all of the nail trends and new color releases. They can do any color or design you could think of. Best nail spot in Chicago, hands down. I've been to a lot of different spots and nothing competes. I don't live in lakeview anymore but still make the trek up because it is so worth it. read more

I have been going to Lumera for years and, overall, have had a pleasant experience. I moved downtown and don't get my nails done often anymore but I traveled back to Lakeview East this past Saturday to stop by and get my nails done and my only complaint is that I asked for a dip manicure and, since I haven't been getting my nails done regularly, my cuticles have grown out. She did not attempt to remove my cuticles or touch them at all!!!! Now I'm disappointed because it's been 3 days and they already look so grown out. The woman who did my toes, however, did a fantastic job of getting rid of the cuticles on my toes and making my feet look polished! read more

I have very mixed feelings about this experience. On the one hand, the woman who did my acrylic fill took her time and was gentle. On the other hand, the shaping is a little off and the acrylic is THICK which I hate. I was also charged $5 more for the exact same service my friend got 3 seats down from me. She was charged $45 and I was charged $50. We compared receipts when we left. Same exact service. Not cool. Giving them 3 stars because it wasn't blatantly awful. That's about as nice as I can be. Won't be going back. read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Everyone always compliments me on my nails and asks where I get them done - it's about time I write this review. I could go on and on about these people but I think in this case a picture is worth more than 1000 words so here are a few. I stumbled upon this place when I moved into my first Lakeview apartment down the block. And now, even though I have moved to LA, I still only come to them when I fly back to town because their manicures somehow have the miraculous power to last until the next time I'm back in town. I can honestly say, I've tried over 10+ of the top places in LA and the newest techniques out there from GelX and acrylics w/ gel or w/ dip to Satin wrap extensions. I cannot find any other place that makes my natural nails grow without cracking in the painful ways I've experienced out there. And the price I pay at Lumera?! Maybe I'm used to CA prices, but forget about it! What a steal for the quality and time it lasts. They are so friendly and they always remember me. I think I see them before I even go to my actual family after the airport read more

I had my first visit at Lumera last Friday and this will definitely be my new salon. Calling and making an appointment even on a Friday was easy. The energy was really positive, and I felt respected. I got a regular pedi and full set + dip and the quality was great. I was out of there in only an hour and a half, but not in a rushed way. They're just quick and efficient. As for my nails, the shape, the color, the sturdiness are unmatched. I showed the tech a picture and she worked her magic confidently. She also asked me multiple times if the length and shape were good throughout the entire manicure. Without tip, I spent less than $100 for a great pedi, mani, and lip wax. I can tell these will last for more than 2 weeks, so the value is really great. Lastly, it's BYOB! Will definitely be back with my girlfriends for some mimosas + manis! read more

Yikes... maybe it was just the nail technician I had, but my nails look pretty bad. I asked for a dip manicure with tips, and they were very timely about getting my appointment started. The nail tech was rough, and didn't bother to really prep the nails at all. Did not cut cuticles, did not brush residue of files nails off my nails/hands, did not bother to trim my nails... The end result looked lumpy and crooked, I've spent like an hour reshaping the nails to look like the picture I showed her. I even asked her to fix certain spots throughout the appointment, didn't help. She rushed through the whole thing and slapped on coats of everything in a very messy way. Besides that, the salon is not very clean. Nothing looked like it had even been wiped down. The only reason I'm giving the salon two stars is because the other techs seemed really nice & when I took a glance at their work next to me, it looked very neat. read more

Make an appointment & come here! They do such a great job & have the talent to get creative by request. I'm a nail regular, go every 3 weeks, and have been coming here about 6 months. All the ladies are so nice, a Netflix guilty pleasure is always on TV (Lily picks good ones), massage chairs during a pedicure and easy meter parking right in front. They have tons of colors for regular, no chip and dip. Awesome nail place that checks all the boxes! Thanks Mimi :) read more

Ask the Community - Lumera Nail Salon

How much is dip manicure and do they dip your fingers in the jar or pour it onto your nail (sanitary purposes)?

Dip Manicure starts at 40$ and no they don't dip your finger in it. This is the best dip I've ever gotten; literally lasts a whole month and the price isn't bad. If you get tips then it's an extra charge of like 10$

I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

I LOVE this nail salon! My friend and I have been coming every couple weeks for our manicures for a few months now - she gets acrylics and I get nail art. I'm a professional artist, so I'm always looking to have colorful, unique, cool additions to my fashion. I come in with examples and ideas I draw up and the artists at Lumera make it happen. I'm so impressed with their skill and overall quality in nail care AND everyone is so nice. The owner makes you feel like an old friend coming to visit. Highly recommend for awesome nail art! read more

I've been going to Lumera for years now and they are so consistent and perfect with their services. I go religiously every 2 weeks for a dipped manicure and no chip pedicure. They just renovated their manicure tables and chairs, added large flat screen TVs with Netflix and not to mention their 600+ dipped and no chip colors. They receive toy started doing design, just make sure you call ahead if you want a design to avoid long wait times. If you are looking for an awesome nail job, you found the right place. read more
