I've been coming here for years now. It's pricey, for sure, but the service stands out with the quality you receive. I usually will get a no-chip manicure and an extraordinary pedicure. Kelvin knows me and recommends products that he thinks will help me achieve my nail goals. We were leaving on a trip and I wanted to branch out from my usual so I got an ombre no chip with hard gel and he understood the assignment! Last photo is how my nails turned out and the other photos were my inspiration. read more

Always pleased have my nails completed at Magic Nails in Oakbrook across from YardHouse Restaurant. I moved to De Kalb, IL, location is too far to travel in. I hope they open a location in De Kalb County, IL. read more

So I've been going there often. But this last visit made me very upset! the two nail techs I like were AMY which has left and Lily. Lily and the staff was very unprofessional. I made an appointment for 11 AM because I knew I had a lot to do that day and somewhere I had to be. I check in and I saw her start another client. She knew I had an 11 AM appointment with her. Nobody said anything to me just let me sit ther. So after a few minutes I couldn't wait Any longer. I had things to do so I left. I told the guy and the other girl behind the counter what was going on and they didn't care. I will never come back to this location again. read more

This place hands down in the best nail salon I have ever been to. Yea you may have to wait a bit even with an appointment but they do not disappoint. I drive pretty far to come here because the service is on point, price is unbeatable, my nails are always done perfect, I get 4-5 weeks out of them even working with my hands and they are always kind and listen to what you want. They are honest too if they cannot do something but will work with you to make sure you get something you love- that's super important to me because I can't tell you how many times I've walked into a salon and they say they can do it, charge an obnoxious amount and your nails are chipped the next day. I've watched so many people in and out of this salon and they really know how to keep up with a large crowd! Thank you so much for the amazing manis and pedis! read more

I had an appointment with a person "Van" for acrylic nails. I arrived 30 minutes early to pick out my color only to be told that Van did not do acrylic nails. So I asked the front desk person who did her gel x nails and she pointed to the boss in the first chair. The boss came over to me to check my nails and nodded and walked away. Next thing I know I was tossed over to someone named "Nicole" who I immediately got bad vibes from. I asked her how long she had been doing gel x and her reply was "two months" I said "hold on" and walked back to front desk to ask why I was with a newbie. Come to find that Nicole was new to Magic Nails but had been doing nails elsewhere (not sure I bellieved this story either). I walked up to the Boss Lady since she dd the desk person's nails and another lie she said "i only do acrylics" At this point I realized that games were being played. I went back to Nicole's chair and she got up abruptly and went to speak to the person at the front desk. Then she left without saying anything to me. I asked "where is she?" After 3 minutes, I got up and told the front desk "is this how you treat your customers?? I'M DONE HERE!" And walked out. The people that work here are rude and act entitled. Nicole is a coward. All she had to say was "I don't think we got off to a good start" And I would have respected her choice. But to walk away and not say anything, she showed that she has very bad business skills and is a punk. Also they price gauge. Skip this lowbrow place! read more

Nail tech, Sunny, was the very best!! She paid attention to detail, she was not concerned with time, only perfection! She was gentle on my nails which I appreciate. She is no longer there. I hope she returns! read more

Service was splendid and very accommodating giving that today was a very busy day for them. My tech was friendly and very articulate with making sure my nails were on point did not rush at all. I will definitely be a regular customer... read more

I was not a fan of this nail shop. I decided to visit based on the reviews and the close proximity to where I was staying. When I arrived it was pretty crowded so I figured they must be quality! Meh.. not so much. First my technician could not get my nail shape correct. Even after I showed her several pictures of how I had my nails done previously (I was only in town visiting my folks so my normal nail shop was not an option). Unfortunately she filed them incredibly short and since they were acrylics there was no easy fix unless I wanted to get a new set. Then when it came to paying she attempted to sneak in a charge that wasn't previously discussed or listed. Something about the polish I chose? Despite the poor experience I left and figured you win some you lose some. BUT THEN my nails started to chip a few days later. I've never had acrylic nails with a gel polish overlay chip. And certainly not within a week! I was very very disappointed and felt like I wasted my money. Maybe it was the technician, the day, the service, the polish... idk. But I recommend searching elsewhere for nail services. The only reason for the 2 stars is that they were following COVID protocols. read more

I have been coming to the Oakbrook location for a few years. I regularly see Van and can strongly recommend her without hesitation. She is so detail oriented, pleasant personality, very hard worker and just truly amazing at her job. If you go, definitely call ahead and book with Van. They also have great massage chairs and offer tea or water which is a nice plus. I find the prices comparable to other places. read more

At the start of my appointment for a no chip, I discussed the current shape of my nails and questioned the tech as what her thoughts might be regarding a different shape. She suggested the almond shape to which I agreed. When it came time to pay, the amount was $5.00 higher than what I paid at my last visit. I questioned the increased amount and she explained that the almond shape had a $5.00 cost. I feel that I should have been told before she started to file my nails. She should have verified that I was aware of the cost and not just assume that I would be willing to pay the amount. In my opinion, not a honest way of doing business. read more

1) charged fee to use credit card 2) only took cash for tip ( am fine with both of these if told before I arrive- if this was on their website, I missed it) 3) powder dip caused my nails to break read more

Do not cut anyone with your crusty feet---go on and get your toes done LOL I've been going here for a couple of years on and off for pedicures so this review is only for my toes. I always call and make an appointment because usually I'm bringing other people with me and have generally been accommodated without any issue. I think the longest I've ever waited was 15 mins which is tolerable. They have nice massage chairs and some TV's around the room to read some close captioning on. A nice selection of polish colors. I do like that the Gel polishes are now in books to look at but make sure to remember to the number and polish brand when telling your tech. Basic pedicure pricing is reasonable and they have a full menu of add-ons which can be nice to get every now and then----I never knew I loved getting cold orange slices rubbed on my legs. Any tech I have had has done an efficient job to get the job done. As of late I have been doing no chip pedicures--usually it's not about the longevity of the polish but it's more like I don't want to wait for the polish to dry or to stick my newly done toes into my shoes and jack up the not quite dry polish. Depending on the time of day parking can be crazy even though there is a huge lot. If you're there around dinner time--be prepared to park far since there are a lot of restaurants in the area..but you can definitely score some rock star parking too! read more

If I could leave fewer stars, I would! Customer service has always been an issue, but I decided to give it another chance, hoping things had improved. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. The employees are just as rude--if not more so--than before. The service was poor. I made one request, and the employee outright refused to do my nails without offering any explanation. Another employee eventually clarified, and I understood the situation, but the approach was extremely rude and unprofessional. Very disappointing experience overall. read more

Nice, clean, on time. But the tech did not apply the Dazzle Dry polish correctly so it's chipping already on day 2. It's supposed to be 2x base coat and 2x top coat and she only did one each. Usually my dazzle dry manicure lasts three weeks. If they charge an additional $10 for a dazzle dry manicure they should at least do it correctly. read more

I like a straight forward basic mani. This place fits the bill. No up charge pressure. And the polish was actually organized by colors, not randomly thrown back in the rack. I wish I could give a bonus point for that alone. read more

Recently moved to the area and was looking for a new spa home. I called an hr before to ask if they took walk-ins. The representative on the phone stated they do not and inquire what I was looking to get. I stated a no chip manicure and pedicure. The representative then informed me that they could take me at 4pm. I arrived and the place was packed. I was greeted and informed them of my appointment. The representative asked me to remind them of what I was getting again and then asked me to pick a color. They do not have a huge color selection but I was able to find something to put me in the New Year mood. I was seated at 4:20 and sat with my feet in the water for 15 mins before someone came over to assist me with an overlay over two of my toes. After that was complete, my feet sat in the water for another 15 mins unattend. In the end, the outcome of my service was great. However, the time I spent idle was not worth it for me. read more

Magic Nails - Check-in Station/ Interior - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

I got my nails done on a Thursday, by Saturday night I could see my nails were separating from the tips. They were closed for a holiday Sunday and Monday, so I went in Tuesday and after the offered to just file away the area that is separating, or glue it down I suggested a whole new set as 6 nails had separated, and one nail had shattered. Got a new set. I had to go back 2 days later because they were separating AGAIN. This time I asked for my money back, which the manager refused. She glued my tips down and tried to tell me not to pick at my nails. That's not what I've been doing, and my nails have never had this issue at my regular nail salon. If they were done well, They shouldn't be able to be separated. Before the weekend was over my nails were separating and whatever glue she used was long gone. Here I am 6 days after my new set with one nail that had separated away, real nail broke off a few days ago, now the dip has broken... and as you can see my thumb has a small chip on the side. My middle finger does as well. Maybe some of the products went bad, or the nail tech is newer, but the manager's attempt to blame me, then her refusal to return my money just doesn't sit right with me. read more

The work there is not great for what they charge. A full set with no chip French manicure was $65 in August and now was $82. It's not worth it. Quality isn't there read more

Got my nails done Saturday. First thing worth mentioning- they don't honor appointments. I scheduled my appointment the day before and they still had me wait a half an hour before anyone even checked on me. Not the first time.... Magic Nails is always packed and can't handle the volume of customers. I was passed off between THREE separate nail techs to do a simple one-color, no-chip manicure. And look- it's Monday evening, just two days later, and the polish is peeling. It didn't even look good intact. There are indents and lumps all over them, and my nails were filed unevenly because the tech who did the filing was ANSWERING PHONES while working with me!!! I spent WAY too much money on this. read more

Magic Nails - Chipped manicure after just two days - Nail Salons Near Me - Oak Brook, Illinois

I've given this place a few tries over the last year, but after my experience earlier this week I don't think I'll ever be back. I made an appointment after work mid-week to soak my gel nails off, but ended up waiting 15-25 mins past my appointment time before I was helped. I had 3 different techs work on me at one point or another (I get it's busy, but you really can't dedicate a whole 10 minutes to me?) but the last one absolutely destroyed my nails. After the gel polish had soaked off, instead of using a bamboo stick or other tool to gently scrape the polish off, he used an emery board (not a buffing block) to file the loose polish off of my fingernails, filing directly onto my nail bed and leaving harsh, visible scratches on the surface of my nail. After basically shredding my nails, I washed my hands and sat back down at the table assuming he was going to buff out the scratches. My nail tech then returned to tell me we were done and that I needed to pay, and I asked if that was really all; my nails were still incredibly tough and there were remnant bits of polish on the sides that I was scraping off myself. He sat back down, offered to re-soak my nails with acetone (which would've just irritated my nails, not reduced the unevenness), and then told me the texture was just my natural nail. After offering to re-soak again, I asked if he could buff my nails and got a half-hearted shrug in response. I ended up getting up and paying, but wish I had pushed him more to fix my nails. I paid to remove my gel polish because I didn't want to damage my nails, but ended up in worse shape than if I did it at home. read more

This was my go to for drop in service. The last 2 visits staff was a bit unpleasant. Last visit asked what the wait was, and if can just make an appointment and come back later. The lady turned around with out saying anything then walked away and didn't come back. Another lady eventually came up and asked me what was there for, told me there was a wait and asked me to go to the other location that was not busy at this time. I made the reservation with the other location, headed over there and it was busier than the original location. Spoke with the lady at the front, gave the appointment details but it was obviously packed and they could not take us at that time. Again I told the lady the situation, she didn't say anything turned and walked away. Very odd, will not try to got back again now. read more

Great location in the plaza and the place is aesthically pleasing and airy! We had an appointment for 3 people with 2 no chips and 1 manicure and set it up for a Wednesday @ 6:30pm. We checked in on time and picked out our colors. I luckily got a nail tech within 5 mins. The only problem was that my sister had to wait 20 more mins for another tech and my aunt had waited almost 40 mins! It was busy and everyone was waiting for a while in their appointed stations. But nevertheless, the techs were all friendly and did a great job. It was $40 for my no chip and it's been long lasting and intact still for 2 weeks since the appointment! read more

I was going to the same nail salon in Oak Brook for 4 years and due to the pandemic, they permanently closed. In an attempt to find a new place, I tried several salons, including Mario Tricoci, and none of them did a very good job. A friend recommended that I try Magic Nails, so I did. I got a dip manicure with Sharon and she did an amazing job. I have now had my second service with Sharon and again, my nails looked perfect. I also got a pedicure the second time and she did an amazing job with that as well. I can't speak to the other technicians, but the salon was very clean and everyone that I interacted with on my visits was very friendly and professional. read more

I was in the area and googled a nail salon near me. This salon had over 100 reviews and the average was a 4.5 out of 5. I went in and asked if they do walk ins and the lady said yes i was seated in less than 5 minutes. Asked if i wanted a beverage and the atmosphere was amazing. The best part they give 20 minute massages (when you purchase one of the deluxe pedicures). By FAR one of the cleanest nail salons I've been too. I'll be taking my mom because she'll love it! I had Andy and he's a really good nail tech! read more

my mom swears by this place but lemme tell you I am SUPER annoyed and VERY irritated after giving them a second and now third chance. Went in before spring break vacation and had my nails dipped for a wedding reception. Less than a week in one popped off and 1.5 weeks later when I was finally home three were off and one was hanging by a thread. had to pay for a gel fill to get them redone (bc why the h*ll would i have half of my nails redone at this point?). which I agreed to. next set was GREAT... lasted 3 weeks and probably would have went a full 4 if I didnt feel like they were getting too long -- only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. Requested the person who did my fill and I'm 4 days in and they are ALREADY chipping on the sides and w the small amount of growth I can see the uneven edges and minor lifting. Like SERIOUSLY?? Unless I get a full set for FREE this time, I'm never going back and will be convincing my family to do the same. read more

Stopped by to get my nails done for the first time. The nail tech didn't say a word (which was totally okay), she tried to get someone to translate and I felt like coworkers were stand off ish and rude to her; also wouldn't even look at me so I had no idea if they were talking to me or not. Kind of a very AWK experience. However, she did do a good job although it didn't look like the picture. I got a no chip and they lasted. Also I did book an appointment but that's basically useless. They owner just writes it down in her head but you still have to wait. read more

I made an appointment to have my nails done, arrived at 9:00 a.m., there were 10 or more people there, most of whom had an appointment as well. Three of us were asked to wait while the others were seated along one side of the shop. Turns out, the shop had no hot water. A tech started working on my hands but had problems matching colors, the manager in charge gave me a hard time about getting a discount because I only wanted a polish change instead of immersing my feet in cold water. They'll never see me or my money ever again. Not that they'll notice or care but I have standards. Horrible experience! Beware of V, nasty attitude read more
