I visited this nail shop for the second time ever yesterday. My daughter lives in Champaign and the…read morelast time we came was in February of this year to get pedicures for her birthday. We both thought they did a great job and our pedicures lasted a long time. Unfortunately when I came by myself yesterday, I had a very different experience. I called ahead to reserve an appointment at 4pm just to be safe. The gentleman who worked there answered my call and just agreed to my appointment time and was about to hang up, I said don't you want my name? He said what's your name? I told him, and he said ok see you at 4. When I arrived at the nail shop the man who answered the phone was at the first nail desk closest to the door working on a customer. There were two other women nail techs working on customers who just looked at me as I walked in. No greeting. The man didn't look up and said "can I help you?" I responded saying I have a 4pm pedicure appointment. He said "ok pick your color" never looking at me once. I picked my color and took a seat. I did not wait long before one of the ladies came to get me. I do not have much to comment on related to her pedicure on my feet. She didn't ask me if I wanted my toenails cut which usually is common practice, but other than that, the pedicure was pretty standard. She made some errors with paint on my skin but cleaned it up and the finished product is fine. She made no conversation whatsoever, though I cannot confirm or deny whether or not that was due to her limited English because I only heard her speak another language. The disturbing part of this visit was the conversation between a white woman and one of the nail techs right next to me. That nail tech was definitely trying to keep up conversation with the white woman and at at one point the white woman mentioned that she didn't realize she had this coming Thursday off. (Due to Juneteenth) The nail tech, who is an Asian woman, asked what's the holiday, the white woman fumbled for an answer and ultimately googled to find out what the holiday was and what it represented. The Asian woman asked "are you getting paid for the holiday?" The white woman said yes. And the nail tech responded "well as long as you're getting paid who cares that's great enjoy yourself!" As a Black woman who is literally sitting in the chair right next to them as they had this conversation- and NO ONE had the self awareness to recognize how deeply offensive that exchange was!! #1 for both of these women, one of whom is of a marginalized identity, to be oblivious to WHAT Juneteenth is, is disgraceful. #2 after they both "learned" that the holiday was about the eradication of the enslavement of Black people, and then to say "who cares as long as you're getting paid" is the most disrespectful and disgusting thing a fellow woman of color could possibly say. And to say it in front of a Black woman. Her deep need for white acceptance made her oblivious to how terribly ignorant she looks. I hope she reads this review and I hope she understands she has betrayed herself and her sister in this world. I do not recommend this business to anyone, but especially not for any people of color as they clearly have no respect or desire for our patronage. There are plenty of other options and I hope this business reaps the karma it is sowing.

Because the pain was so intense I went to Christie Clinic and saw Dr Okyne who ordered tests. By Saturday July 12 my whole foot was swollen and red and hot so I went to Christie Convenient Care where I saw Dr Johnston who told me I had a serious infection called Cellulitis. He prescribed a ten day antibiotic (Augmentin). I am convinced that the source of this infection is the pedicure at Angel Nails in the Meijer store on North Prospect. Also, they did a terrible mani/pedi on my husband. The tech cut his toe nails so short that they bled when he took his walk the morning after.

I was seated for my pedi and I felt like the process was rushed. When I asked about the pricing, she talked to me in a rude way like I was asking too many questions. She barely put on the polish right to my satisfaction. When it was time to for my mani, I ended up getting the full set because regular mani was $45 and gel was $50. The guy that did my hands seemed to be rushing as well and cut my skin using the file board He did't ask if I wanted my actual nails cut and it was too late before I could say anything. I was not too happy with this visit.

My first impression was that the salon looked cluttered and while it didn't look dirty per se it was clearly rundown. The person who greeted me was not wearing a mask despite letting me into the locked salon. In fact, she didn't put the mask on for several minutes despite being within 6 feet of me. I decided to treat myself to an upgraded pedicure that came with a mask and hot stone massage for $55 dollars. My normal salon charges $45 and includes all of the above plus a hot towel wrap and additional 10 minute leg/foot massage and usually takes roughly an hour to complete. My service at La chic was complete in just under 40 minutes. The hot stone massage was seriously disappointing (and the only "massage" lasted just 3-4 minutes), the tools did not appear to be sterilized, and my polish looked like something I could have done at home. This was my first professional pedicure in over a year and quite frankly it felt like a waste of money. I will not be returning.
