BEST manicure I've had! My manicure is still in-tact, 10 days and counting, and it wasn't even a no chip. Great prices, and the staff was really kind. I'll definitely be back. read more

I went there few days ago and then worst no chip of my life and tech had a horrible attitude. They tried to explain the poor job saying everyone else was busy. They can have the 75$ but they won't see me again. Stay away due to poor techs and horrible customer service sense. Many other nail shops within walking distance. read more

Jessie did a terrific and thorough job on my no-chip mani. Would come back next time I'm in the area.

Had a really nice relaxing pedicure at Nailtastic today. Went in after work and felt completely relaxed by the whole experience. Really polite and efficient staff, get you in and out quickly, while also making it a relaxing and fun process. Front desk is very accommodating and polite and gets you an appointment fast if you call ahead. Salon is sleek modern and well maintained. Lots of color choices. Pricing is fair for downtown. Would highly recommend! read more

This is by far the best nail place. I've been almost everywhere and this is the best in the city. Lucky for me I work close by, but if that ever changes I'll keep coming here. Great no chip selection as well as regular polish. Service is always great and everyone is friendly. read more

My visits here are always short and sweet. I got a pedicure tonight and am happy with the results. This nail salon seems very clean and does not wreak of chemicals like some other places. They offer an extensive polish selection (Zoya, OPI and Essie) and have comfy massage chairs for de-stressing after work! read more

Let me start by saying that I used a booking service to get a free manicure here. That being said, I got what I paid for. The salon was odd, all white and kind of felt like a hospital. Also, everyone just seemed confused and very slow moving. The receptionist started my manicure and then passed me to another girl who was really rough. I asked her to please be a bit more gentle but wasn't. When I left I said I would tip with cash not the card on file with the booking service and they charged me 20% anyway. I live a block away and I won't be back. When kinzie nail spa is around the corner, I would say definitely upgrade to their salon. read more

Great service, well priced, very clean premises and well located. I just moved to Chicago and found this place and I'd def go back. I'm also pregnant so the fumes in other nail salons are overwhelming but you don't smell any chemicals here at all as its all eco friendly. Loved the hot towel hand cleanse and the mini back massage after my manicure. Thumbs up! read more

Love this place! Super clean and tons of choices for nail colors, both regular and no chip. BYOB and they offer massages as well as waxing and nail services. The staff was very friendly and helpful even when I needed a phone charger. I highly recommend! They take walk-ins as well. read more

Love it. Great quality, clean environment, and very nice staff. You can book online with Pretty Quick or Whittl and it makes it easy. Plus, in the evenings, they'll give you free wine during your mani or pedi. As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat that. read more

I'm a guy and have been looking for a nail salon right for me for a long time and I've finally found it! They gave me an excellent mani and pedi for a reasonable price and not to mention the great atmosphere. The receptionist especially stood out to me! She was very amazing and gave me a wonderful experience. Exceptionally clean and relaxing environment! Not to mention that they didn't care about my squeeling ahhaha read more

My 'go to' salon for sure. I have been a client here for several months now. Super clean, modern, and you never feel rushed. Soko always takes great care of me. Excellence every time. I look forward to my weekly visits! read more

I've always been semi satisfied every single time I get my nails done at a new place. I'm always searching for the perfect salon. I recently moved here and have been searching for a salon. This salon is right around the corner from my school and I happened to walk by it. What caught my attention was the chemical free nailpolish choices. Today I decided to go in and check out this salon after my class ended. I loved the atmosphere. It is a very clean and has alot of space. Some of the salons I have been to, it always feels so crowded. I was seated right away and then the lady began on my manicure. She was quiet and I like making conversation. The way they do manicures is very different than the usual but I didn't mind. The lady who did my mani had to leave to start on a pedicure because there was a pedicure party going on and another lady right away finished me off. She was the best no chip polisher I've ever met. I will be coming back. I was very satisfied with the outcome! Thank you :) read more

Nailtastic - Love love love - Waxing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is the best place in town to get a manicure/pedicure! The service is amazing, good conversation, go Diana go. Great to have a place that does such a phenomenal job so close to my office. Don't miss stopping in for some services when you are in the area! read more

This place is right next to my work so I was eager to try it out! I went in one night- pretty late, and the receptionist informed me they were closing. Just my luck, I was going on vacation the very next day and would have to travel with my DREADFUL nails (I lamented out loud). Then Diane, the sweetest nail tech took pity on me and my terrible nails and led me to her chair. Although they were closed I did not feel rushed, even when I debated over colors (they have fantastic colors...) Diane did a wonderful job, and the friendly receptionist sat next to me and kept me company! This place is also immaculate - A little pricey but SO worth it when it comes to service and quality! I'll be back soon!! :) read more

This Nail Studio is awesome! The staff are very friendly, and every time I've been the studio has been very clean. They also they bring me in promptly when I prearrange my appointments and are very flexible if I need to reschedule. I also love that it's BYOB. I request Amy every time I go, as I've found her no chip manicure and pedicure to exceed my very high expectations! read more

This place is great!! After moving to River North, I was upset about leaving my tried and true neighborhood nail salon but Nailtastic made it an easy transition! I avoided writing a review until now because I didn't want to share this hidden gem but they totally deserve the recognition. Clean, thorough and always well done. You will not be disappointed! read more

Terrible salon. Extremely overpriced for what you get. I requested a mani-pedi, which they told me was going to be priced at $50. I picked out an essie gel couture color for my hands, which they told me would cost $1 more because it was a "longer-lasting" polish. So I said fine. Then, the girl charged me $65, which is ludicrous because it wasn't even a no-chip manicure. Then, when she went to polish my nails, after she scraped down the cuticles, she didn't wipe the nails off, so I had chunks of old nail underneath the polish, which is disgusting. On top of that, instead of using the essie gel couture top coat, she starts putting on the fast dry top coat instead. When I asked her about it, she said, "oh, it's the exact same thing", which is a total lie. The end result was a bunch of bubbles underneath the polish. It looked terrible. When I brought it up, she kept said, "ok fine, I'll put the gel top coat on top", which is another terrible idea. Finally, another lady came over and said they would offer to redo the whole thing after I told them I was unhappy. So they at least did that, but it ended up being a big waste of time. Don't waste your time here. They have staff here that have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Going to the nail salon is supposed to be a relaxing pamper session, and there's no way it can be relaxing if the end result looks worse than if a 10 year old did it for you at home, and people are ripping you off. This is by far, the worst nail salon I have been to in Chicago. read more

I am giving this 2 stars because even though my no-chip mani looks great, when I went to pay (their menu says $40 for a no-chip mani) they charged me an extra $5 because they had to remove the no-chip I already had on. I asked if they would still charge $5 if I came back to get a new one, since they would then be taking off a no-chip mani they gave me, and the woman replied "yes." I have visited many places in the City for a no-chip mani and never have I been charged extra to remove my no-chip if I was purchasing a new one. Will not be returning to this place. This extra charge is ridiculous. read more

So impressed with the quality and convenience of Nailtastic. I was in a pinch before my graduation to get my nails done and I scheduled an appointment just twenty mins before coming in. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. I was in and or within an hour for both no chip mani and pedi, which is great because I was in a hurry. Even more amazing, my no chip nails lasted the two whole weeks during my vacation! I will definitely be back when I'm in city! read more

I love this place. I work and live about a block away. So much better than the nail place in the Merch Mart. It's very clean and they have the best massage pedicure chairs. They also give you a quick shoulder massage after a manicure! I would recommend this place. read more

No wait on a Sunday morning. A little pricey for a gel manicure, but the technician did a fantastic job.

Notwithstanding the good things about this place, which there definitely are some, the main thing I'm looking for when I spend the time and money to get my nails done is that the work will hold up. After both of my visits here, my polish started chipping within 48 hours. 5 days later, 3 of my nails have half of their polish gone. Maybe I'm spoiled... my go to nail salon in my home neighborhood gets this stuff (regular polish) to stick for like 2 weeks! I think this place could be really great if they found a way to improve their process by using products and a method that will last. I'm guessing the problem is the top coat they use, but that's a guess. read more

Two stars for the staff being friendly, and the BYOB policy. Beyond that, we had a very negative experience. My traditional manicure chipped after 2 days and after 3 days, I looked like a homeless lady of night. My boyfriends "buff pedicure", was mediocre also. His feet weren't quite Lloyd'esque from Dumb and Dumber but once they finished he still had grim under his toes....and he doesn't work in a mine-shaft. read more

I just moved into the River North neighborhood from Boston one week ago and was planning on trying out a few salons until I found a regular place here. I got a manicure yesterday and will definitely be going back! Excellent service, friendliest staff, and extremely clean and comfortable. My nails have never looked so good. Thrilled that I do not have to continue my search! Highest recommendations. read more

I am happy that they opened up by East Bank Club. I pass by the nail salon everytime I walk from work to the gym so I popped in there on Thursday for the first time and Jessie did my nails. She did a great job but the best part was the back massage. OMG it was awesome. I am going to go back and just get a massage by her. Unfortunately she only works on Tuesday and Thursdays. read more

The girls here are great, professional and many times my manicures last much longer than expected! Check them out.

Really like this place! They are always on time (I book online through whittl.com) and they do a very nice job on no-chip.

I've been to Nailtastic every 2-3 weeks since it opened and every experience has been great. It is a cute place, very clean and sanitary. I don't have to make an appointment way ahead of time, and usually call the day of and get in without a wait. The owner and all the ladies there are very nice and do a great job. My no chip manicures last for 3 weeks with no issues. They don't charge for no chip removal which is a plus. I stopped going to EBC for my manis and pedis when I found this place. I highly recommend!! read more

Disappointing experience today at Nailtastic. It's a modern and incredibly clean, with a great polish selection. But was let down by the quality of service. The pedicure did not get the callouses on my feet (which weren't bad) - came home with rough patches still on my heels. I asked for square nails - some are square, some diagonal, some rounded. Then for my no chip, the polish edges by my cuticles were not clean. So I asked the woman if she could clean up before putting under the light. Rather than use a brush, she used her fingernails. Well no wonder the polish edge by my cuticle would be jagged and remain that way. I would have brought my own nail brush for her to clean up the edges. For $70 pedi + no chip, I would expect far better service. Will go to Kinzie nails a block away next time. read more

I got a really great gel manicure here one day and was really happy with the color selection and atmosphere. Brought friends back the next time for pedicures and didn't have as great of an experience. We books on prettyquick and the salon approved our appointments then told us they wouldn't accommodate us at the time we booked and wanted us to come earlier. We told them it wasn't acceptable, and they finally agreed after several phone calls. We got our pedicures, but they barely scrubbed our feet or did any work on our skin. read more

I've been meaning to write a review. This was my go to nail salon when I lived in River North. They did a great job when I went. I've never felt rushed and they pay careful attention to your nails. It is pricey but that is the neighborhood. If you're in River North, I recommend this salon. read more

I live in Miami, where the hygenic practices of the nail salons are so questionable that I will not even get mani-pedis there (I just do my own pedis and forego the manis). But I was spending two months in Chicago where there are clean, well-run nail salons galore, so I tried a few. Nailtastic was my favorite. The salon is super clean, spacious and bright. I love that there are no blaring TVs. The two times I had mani-pedis, I was taken by the nail tech right away at my appointment time. The color selection is broad, with not just this season's colors but past seasons too (in case you have an old favorite). For pedis, the nail techs were thorough in prepping my feet (which is the key to a good polish) before doing a perfect job with the polish application. For manis, they did a nice hand and shoulder rub in addition to a good prep and polish. I do not believe in the no-chip manis, because I know many girls who ended up with ruined nails after too many no-chip applications. So, for my hands, the polish lasted about 4-5 days, but the polish on my toes lasted almost 3 weeks. I am hard on my hands, so although I would like the polish to stay on my nails longer without chipping, it is not realistic. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Chicago. read more

They barely speak to you here, which frankly I like because I'm all about getting in the daydreaming zone during a manicure. Very nice hand massage and the polish lasts forever. read more

Great place! Staff is very friendly and polite. Very clean nail salon. I have gotten a pedicures and no chip manicures there for the last year and my no chips last at least 2 weeks! Great selection of colors and up-to-date equipment. It's also BYOB, what more could you ask for?! read more

Awesome job on my nails, would definitely recommend.Great shape and really close attention to detail.

Amazing color selection and the ladies spend the extra time to make sure your nails look great. If you notice anything at all you don't like about your nails they make sure to fix it and go above and beyond!! Love this nail salon. read more

I get a no-chip manicure every two weeks. Depending on where I am, I have a few salons I go to. I live down the street from Nailtastic and have been there about 5 times. Usually, it's a great experience. I don't love the chairs, but the nail technicians are usually great. Today I went there for a no chip manicure, and already had no-chip on. The price of a no-chip there is advertised as $40. After my no chip was removed and my nails were done, I went to pay and was told that there was a $5 fee for removing the no-chip. I was appalled! She said that was the new policy. I then asked (because I have experienced this before) if it was because the no-chip I had on was put on at a different salon, and if I were to come back in 2 weeks and needed my no-chip removed, if there would still be a $5 fee. She replied yes. THEREFORE, Nailtastic is charging $45 for a no-chip manicure for the people who ONLY get no-chip manicures because when am I going to go in there without no-chip on my nails?! Needless to say, I will not be returning. read more
