I saw Amy, she had Amazing quality, listened to everything I wanted and asked for. Even checked in with me and asked me a few times if it was turning out what I wanted. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Stunning and durable acrylic full set (almond shape) with nail art.

First time coming here for a service, and I'm obsessed. To start, is directly across from a Chicago based boutique, AKira-- which makes it the bestperfect second stop on a girls day! I completely trusted my technician, hai and was astonished. We decided on a hot pink and clear acrylic French Manicure. I received countless compliments and felt like Barbie!! I've been looking for ages and finally found my go to nail artists in Chicago

Jenny did my nails, and she did a fantastic job! No-chip manicure in 30 minutes flat. Shaped my nails well and put on three coats so I know it'll last! Very kind, and I enjoyed talking to her. Definitely will be back and definitely recommend!

Came here for the first time after many searches. Salon was quiet and I guess it was slow hour but definitely very nice. Went in 10-15 minutes earlier and got seated right away. I chose a winter collection color and I absolutely love the finished look. I really love my nails. Will definitely be coming again. Nail tech Jenny did an amazing job

Just as great as their west loop location- great color options and quick friendly service!

I've been to the west loop location as my friend raves about their gel x designs and I decided to go to this one since it opened right by me. Great service and quality, hoping these stay on my hands for 4-5 weeks! I got chrome on top of the gel x for a wedding this weekend and will go perfect with any outfit.

I got my nails done last night and within an a couple of hours, it was already chipping. The person who did my nails took their time and did a great job until the very end when he quickly filed my nails after applying gel polish, which I believe is the reason why all my nails started chipping almost immediately. I took this picture first thing when I got up this morning, not even 12 hours after getting them done. For $85, I expect my nail polish to last.

My nail tech, David was not only super friendly but he absolutely slayed my nails. Super appreciative of his ability to do so in a timely manner but also meticulously. I definitely will be back!

I have more than 3 toes. Trust me. All five look great.

Betsy L.

This was a new stop for me since I moved. A colleague recommended an. I was not disappointed. Get the Dazzle dry and avoid the no chip. Your nails will thank you. Nice vibe and the owner is great.

I've had 3 nails chip in a week after my Russian manicure. They're nice folks but quality of work is disappointing. i'm used to my nails staying chip free for 3-4 weeks; paint was very thin and unevenly applied. Went back to have a nail repaired, two others chipped the same night! I am not rough on my hands at all. Came here as an alternative to the salon I had been going to, because scheduling with them was always an annoying process, but sadly don't think i'll be back. to David the owner: I came on Sept 20 for a mani and pedi at 4pm and returned on Sept 24 for a nail repair, after which time 2 more chipped. I believe you were the one who did the repair, so yes, I was a client. read more

I had injured my lower back pretty bad, so my usual at-home DIY pedi was a no go. I was shopping across the street and decided to go here without an appointment.

The staff is friendly and very efficient. I would say the overall cleanliness of their shop needs work, especially because their prices have gone up- the ambiance does not match the price for services. For example, they kept Christmas decorations up all year and their products they use on customers needed a good cleaning as they looked crusty and dirty. When you're getting your nails done and have no tv to look at, you notice these things. read more

The massage chairs were amazing and the gave us a coupon for next time. The spa treatment was amazing and the shop is new, bright, and clean.

Got a regular mani and pedi here on a Tuesday afternoon and was charged $70, which I felt was too expensive, especially for the neighborhood. There is no price transparency here and that always bugs me. My nails look good but my toenail was cut down so far it was bleeding and for the manicure, the tech didn't apply lotion to my hands or give a hand massage. So even though the nails look good, it's a 3/5 for me and I probably won't be returning. read more

Kaylee N had to focus on my feet, and she did such an amazing job at it. My toes are challenging at best and they came out looking better than I could have hoped. It took her a really long time not because she was bad, but because she was so good and thorough. read more

When I came back, they refused to honor that voucher, saying it was "over a month old," despite never communicating any expiration date or conditions in their message. There was no mention of a deadline, required response, or any policy tied to its use. Instead of taking responsibility, they publicly called me dishonest and reduced their offer to a 15% discount.

MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.

My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. 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've been going to this location since it opened and i LOVE Helen. I'm very indecisive when i walk in and she's always so helpful with picking out colors or designs- she checks to make sure I'm happy with the way things are looking throughout the process, which i really appreciate. And is always very patient if I have to work on my laptop during my mani. I always walk out of there with a perfect mani/pedi read more

Thank you, Kimmy for my amazing first ever set of gel-x nails!…read more Since I moved away from the suburbs, I have yet to set foot in a nail salon in the city. It's been 3 years, so I decided to treat myself, and made an appointment at Revive Nails!! The booking system is easy to work with, and I was able to get a confirmed appointment quickly. I appreciated the info texted to me to find the salon easily while they do renovations (excited to see what it looks like when they're done!) I've always been kind of wary of getting nail services again because I'm always worried that I'm going to have too much cuticles cut off or that I'll get a burn from the drill, but Kimmy made sure that I was comfortable the entire time and it was a completely painless and comfortable experience! She guided me through color choices, shapes, and explained all of the proper aftercare (how to make the best of my mani/tips for keeping things looking their best in between appointments, etc.) I really felt like she knew what she's doing and that she cares about your nail health and comfort! I was in and out in less than 2 hours, and didn't have to suffer the smell of acrylic that I was used to. I'll definitely be back in the future!!

The actual quality of my mani and pedi was ok. Nothing amazing that will entice me to return. There are so many more comfortable nail salons in the city. I'd skip this one.

Review for customer service:…read more I walked in for my appointment right on time, 3 pm. After being asked what I was here for, it was brought to my attention that I booked my appointment "wrong". Ok. As a first time customer, I was confused but explained that it didn't allow me to book the combination I wanted. Told I probably missed it. I then ask if I could be shown so I can attempt to book properly in the future. Then I'm told well I can book the mani/pedi combo and they can change it to a spa pedi. How would I know that?! But fine. I pick my color and sit down. Get called to a pedicure chair only to have the water scalding hot. She doesn't fix it, just tells me that it will cool down. Spoiler alert : It didn't. So I just didn't get to soak my feet. So I sit awkwardly in the chair for another 15 min before my service even starts despite being on time for my appointment. This spoiled my self care experience. I get that maybe there was a better way to book but no need to jump all over the me the second I walk in. I felt called out as everyone looked up to stare at me. There are plenty of other nail salons where you will be treated nicely even if you did something "wrong" Review for nails: My nails look ok but after being treated like that, I only did a basic manicure so I could get out of there quickly. The spa pedicure was meh at best. A few minutes of massage and a little scrub was what qualified as spa. They didn't even wrap my feet up fully in a hurry. It was clear that there were favorite regulars in this salon which is great. People supporting your business should be treated nicely. However, I wasn't even given a chance to become one ‍

The price went up $45 to $50 plus extra $15 for gel removal, which I wasn't told about ahead of time. Also, the gel remover felt really harsh and painful on my nails.

That's never happened before, so I'm wondering if something changed -- maybe new techs or a different product or new ownership? That said, I do like how my nail color turned out in the end. I just wanted to give honest feedback because this visit felt really different from what I'm used to and I don't think it's worth $65.
