I had a regular mani/pedi for $50. Friendly and quality service at a clean and comfy business. Will be going back. read more

Really cannot say much good about this place. Yesterday went for a no chip mani and paid $58 for it. The technician nicked my skin off while cleaning the cuticles and made it bleed! It hurt a lot and she didn't apologize for it and instead used alcohol on my wound several times. (dude....it fucking hurt) Whats more surprising is that the nail color already came off when I got home about 4 hours later!! This is on the same day! I am shocked. I called them today and explained what happened. The girl on the phone said she can only give me $10 off because the color came off. WTF. Then she said my hand got nicked because MY SKIN IS TOO THIN with even an apology. WOW. This is mind blowing. This place has terrible unskilled technicians and horrible customer service. read more

They do a great job with the application of gel manicures. When i have gotten gelx extensions, it did not last very long though. Also, i noticed they could have better sanitization of their tools read more

I really wanted to like this place since it's near my house, but I was very disappointed with my nails. Whatever you do don't let the owner do your nails, $70 down the drain. I will definitely not come back. read more

Ok so i had two experiences here which made me decide to no longer recommend or come here. The first is that in raising their prices, the quality has decreased significantly. Notice how in the manicure I got the technician didn't even work on my cuticles. A $38 manicure yo not even work on your cuticles and leave uneven nail polish throughout each finger is unacceptable. The second issue I had is that during a pedicure, I requested the technician to work on reducing callous thickness and she did not inform me that that would incur a $15 dollar upcharge. Lazy and pricey for low quality is just not acceptable. read more

Mermaid spa is one of the best salons in the city ! My technician Nereida who also is the salon owner by far is the best ! She never disappoints. The salon is decorated with a mermaid theme . This salon has a vast array of nail polish and everything you could possibly want to design them . Nereida is very meticulous but she does not mess around . She is a true professional. You can tell by her work that she loves what she do and makes sure her clients do too ! Salon is clean and well kept . Will keep coming back read more

Was apprehensive to try this neighborhood salon out bc of the reviews but it was AMAZING :) made an appointment over the phone and arrived about 5-10 min before. I was greeted and asked what service I wanted. I got a acrylic removal and no chip manicure. I picked my colors (they have many!) My nail tech (blond woman) was very nice. Took her time. Shaped my natural nails beautifully. She suggested I do the Gel X and I'm glad I did ! Two weeks later my nails are basically still in tact except for one small chip on my right pointer. I use my hands a lot! I'm a seamstress and I don't have a dishwasher. Lol. Can't wait to go back !! read more

Walked in on a Thursday for a regular pedi and gel x full set mani. I wanted my pedicure color to be OPI alpine snow. First, the color selection is small and is organized on a glass self. I almost knocked polishes down trying to look for alpine snow. I finally asked the owner mentioned they only had that color in gel. I settled for OPI alpine snow gel (cost more too). The nail tech was great and patient I really liked her. I paid $114 for my gel x full set white French tip with an extra line. My middle left finger cracked on Monday. On Tuesday, the pointer finger and thumb my nails started to chip. Pricey and not worth it. I wished my nails lasted longer. read more

I went to try this place since the girl that always do my nails is traveling, and it was a very bad idea. I asked for acrylic, technique that I do for more than 5 years, and the woman did it suuuper thick layer, like you can see she don't have experience in off, so was not problem with me, I just asked her to file my nails little bit more because I didn't like that way the looks. When I arrived at home less than 1 hour, one tip just feel off. The next day, (that is today) I called to see if they can fix it and she just said no because I asked for it thin. I do this type of nails more than 5 years and it never happened, and I always get it super natural and thin. If the professional that works there doing it, doesn't have that much experience or don't know how to do it, she should practice more before giving a client a super thick layer and saying that the technique is like that. I live in the neighborhood, and I'm not recommending this place never, really bad costumer service read more

Mermaid Spa - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My nails came out cute but the lady was really rough when filing my nails so I have cuts along my cuticles and I paid a $15 deposit + total + 15% tip just for my nails to start falling off after one week... I'd say, make your reservation here at your own risk.. read more

I moved out of this neighborhood 2 years ago and still drive across the city to come here to get my nails done. The attention to detail, high quality job is seriously unbeatable! I just get a regular mani-pedi (no gel, no acrylic) which every other salon treats like a 15 minute rush job. Every tech I've had at Mermaid Spa takes their time and does the job to perfection! Make sure you book an appointment. read more

This place is awful! I called to make an appointment. I was running 5 min late and called to let them know. They receptionist (daughter's owner) said that's no problem, but don't be more than 10 minutes late. I wasn't. As I walk in, they tell me I lost my $10 deposit because I'm late. This was NEVER disclosed at the time of my appointment nor was it mentioned when I called to say I was running 5 min late. I said need to disclose this. The owner insulted me and said I should read their website. I booked my appointment over the phone, not on line. It should've been told to me when I booked or when I called to say I was 5 min late. And they act like it's my fault and insult me. I'm reporting them to the City. read more

I visited this nail shop just before Christmas. I got a no chip manicure and regular pedi. This was a total Of $75. The no chip chipped within 5 days (keep in mind I am NOT a parent, a construction worker or dish washer). NO NO CHIP should chip in leas than 10 days. I cannot return bc this was the most basic service one could ask for and it was not great. read more

I came here last month the girl who did my pedicure and full set did a damn good job. I been exploring nail salons to find the right one. And went to another one but didnt like it. Decided to come back. I got my toes done It was Nice I liked the massage, but when it came to the full set. Her nails were soooo long and she couldn't file my nails correctly. Nor. Could she really do my nails in general. They end up taxing you so much im mad looking at them now like I really gave her the benefit of doubt knowing she really wasn't doing a good job she just had too long of nails to work on my nails. they did a real shittty job. And I just won't go back top it off I bought somebody with me ;they end up changing me about 139 for a regular pedicure and a no chip full set.. just too much for a poor job read more

i got an acrylic full set & a pedicure and the staff was amazing. Everyone was super friendly and professional. I can't wait to go back for my fill in read more

They were quick, kind, and did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend them. Everyone was following covid protocols. I was a walk-in, but they were able to work me in and still take all their scheduled appointments right on time. Thank you for a lovely self-care morning! read more

They're always so nice and professional! My nails always look great! They are always clean, especially in this time of Covid -- making sure that everyone is spread out and safe. I love this inviting atmosphere! read more

Loved the staff! Super friendly and accommodating. Definitely felt like they took the necessary precautions to make me feel safe during covid while still providing great service! read more

So glad to have this place in the neighborhood!! I went last week before my (small, socially distanced) wedding. Let's just say that after months of being in quarantine my feet needed some serious work. The staff was very friendly and professional, everyone wears masks and they are mindful of how many people are in the salon at a time. The salon itself is very clean. I also appreciated that my nail technician didn't show even the slightest hint of irritation when I messed up my big toe en route to the manicure table (happens every damn time). My no-chip manicure and basic pedicure were wonderful (btw the basic pedi didn't feel basic at all to me). My nails are still in perfect condition one week later. I will definitely be back!! read more

I got gel nail extension here last week and the tech left air bubbles in multiple nails. I asked if that was normal and she assured me that it was. Immediately my hair was getting caught in the nail beds from the nails not being properly cured. I came into the salon today and was told that their 7 day policy was clearly posted on their site. This is not the type of treatment a salon should give their customers. This place is NOT worth an 80 dollar tab. Please go elsewhere. read more

Very friendly staff. Establishment was nice and clean and kept to COVID-19 guidelines. Rosa did an amazing job on my nails. All in all very pleased read more

They are rude as hell. They charge a 15$ fee for an appoinment half the time they don't take walk in clients. The ladies stare and don't make you feel welcomed. I best get those 15$ back towards my nails at my appoinment. Yall stuck up. read more

every time i come here there seems to be a new nail tech that doesn't really know what they're doing.. I went to get my nails done the other day and the lady had such a terrible application i didn't even let her do the second hand. i then got them done by someone else who rushed to get them done and now 2 of my nails have already broken. would not recommend for the price they charge.. read more

This place was absolutely gorgeous, Araceli did an amazing job with my pedicure specially using the jelly scrub it was super relaxing right before my wedding!! The rest of the techs and owner were super friendly and nice i for sure will be back! read more

Great service I recommend this salon for its quality I got a pedicure and received drinks and the staff was really friendly

Really cute little spot. Everyone who works there is super sweet and professional, and the salon itself is really pleasant. We spent a lovely couple of hours here getting manicures! read more

I do NOT recommend this salon. The acrylic is too thick with multiple air bubbles and it was applied poorly. There was acrylic under my nails and the amount of glue that was used was excessive. It made my fingertips dry and flaky. My nails are now extremely fragile and broken and it's never happened before. I've only been here once and do not plan on returning. Awful. read more

My tech is out of town. This place is walking distance to me. Got a pedicure and acrylic set....pedicure was alright but the acrylic set was terrible. Uneven and when I asked her to fix it she said it was the way I was looking at them. Used pink acrylic, which was patchy. I should saved my time 11-1pm and did them myself. When I told them I was unhappy with the service and why the receptionist didn't seem concerned just said "come back and we'll file them down". Still charged me full price. Never again and I will definitely let people know not to come here. read more

Wonderful place. Great jobs with my manicures and pedicures. Love the professionalism. So glad it opened inn my neighborhood.
