Came here today for a no-chip mani & regular pedi. I was a little disappointed with the no-chip. The shade was very sheer and so I asked the tech if she could do another coat to which she replied, 3 coats is already a lot. So I begrudgingly left it at that but wished I had pushed a bit further. If that weren't enough, I was not even offered the shoulder massage that I see the other customers received. I think the staff are nice enough, the place is clean, and they have decent selection of polish but I if you're in the service industry, it goes a LOOONG way to keep your customers happy. I wasn't asking for the moon, just an extra coat. Anyhow, I ended up putting another coat of regular polish when I got home. Even my husband agreed that one extra shade looked much better. C'est la vie. read more

The place is very cute and clean looking, but my pedicure was over in 24 minutes and I was barely massaged. I also felt like there wasn't much attention to dead skin and sloughing. Pretty disappointing. There's also a large bubble on my big toe that's already driving me crazy... My finger nails were kind of the same- not much pampering and my ring finger has a bubble that I'm probably going to just file my nail down to get rid of. Wish I didn't have to do that! I still tipped generously, but probably won't be back. read more

The nails were done well, I wouldn't say "excellent" just because the price isn't worth the cost. You could go somewhere cheaper and get the same result. I guess it's the neighborhood as to why the price is the way it is. They won't do much for you if you aren't white. I'm currently standing right here and watching a white female get more done and she's getting the exact same thing. read more

Tried Polish Nail Bar for the first time today for a pedicure. I found it easy to make an appointment by calling. The safety precautions felt very comfortable. There is hand sanitizer required to use upon entering, masks Incase you don't have one and a sign in sheet. I was the only person in the salon at the time of service. The technician did a great job and I'm very pleased with my pedicure. The pedicure was $35.00 (which is completely fair) despite other recent reviews sharing it is the cost $45.00. I will definitely be back for a manicure in the future! read more

Great no chip manis and pedis. Clean salon, super sweet employees. Bright, happy spot.

This place is the absolute BEST! I've been coming here every two weeks for months. Not only do they do a phenomenal job, but they are exceptionally clean, play great music, give you wine, and shoulder massages with manicures! All of the employees are great and friendly. I wish I could give this place 10 stars! read more

Such a great salon! They have lots of the best nail colors and give an amazing back massage! They use hot towels instead of soaking your fingers in water because she said that rinses the cuticle oil off and causes your nails to be dry. Who knew!? read more

Always pass by on the way to work and decided to finally to stop in. First positive is that they are open on Sundays. My weekdays are super busy and so it is nice to be able to book an appointment on either a Saturday or Sunday. Second positive is that there is plenty of parking right out front. Third positive is that they offer Dazzle Dry which is a great way to get a no chip manicure without waiting under a UV light. And of course the services provided were fantastic! Great massage for my pedi and I didn't even have a spa pedicure so I can wait to book that next! Music is mellow and the place is bright and clean. Glad to have a new go to! read more

My fiancee got a no chip manicure and got her fingers cut twice. After receiving terrible service, she didn't feel it was worth a tip and got bullied into tipping on her credit card which has a 10 dollar minimum. This was after the manager had a terrible attitude. Safe your time and money and go to a real professional establishment, instead of these hack jobs. read more

I went here right when they opened back up to support them (due to COVID)...I did feel safe the entire time however, I did not appreciate that they weren't upfront about "new prices." I was expecting to pay the usual $25-$30 for a regular pedicure, but when I went to pay she told me the total was $45. I was shocked and she looked at me and said, "Sorry, times are tough." I would have been ok paying the $45 if they had told me that when I called to make the appointment - I just didn't like how the hid the new price until after the pedicure...felt like shady business practice. I'll be going back to Vie's Nails only from now on - much more transparent and they do a wonderful job every time. read more

I treated my girlfriend for her birthday. She was very happy with this nail salon. I recommend this nail salon for other guys who want to treat their woman. They have great promotions, very affordable and could walk-in without appointments. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The first time I went everything was pretty good. The owner was extremely nice, almost TOO nice. The place was very clean. The woman who did my pedicure did a good job. She didnt look like she enjoyed her job but she did a nice pedicure. While my nails were drying 3 people came in (with no appointment) and the service of the people before them was so rushed in order to get to the 3 people who had just walked in. I remember thinking I'm glad that wasn't me. Anyhow I sat there, and sat there and no one ever came to check my nails to see if they were dry or put the spray on them so I did it myself and left. So yesterday I took my niece in for a birthday mani/pedicure. Her first time having a mani/pedi. I bought 2 groupons one for mani/pedi for her and one for a mani for me. We arrived about 15 minutes early and from the start the it was uncomfortable. They didn't like the fact that we were early (we had no problem waiting) we just didn't want to wait in the car. It seemed the owner had a slight attitude and she felt the need to announce to everyone in the salon "your 15 minutes early". The owner did my pedi (yay me) sarcasm. I was sitting there thinking is this the same women that was so overly nice the first time and now shes so cold. I even tried to make conversation and she blew me off. The whole process was kind of rushed and she kept looking at the door the whole time as if she was waiting on someone. She also stopped my pedi several times to answer the phone and take appointments. Once done by the dryer I offered the groupon and she said "your using two"? I also gave my tips at that time. Once you pay and tip don't expect them to do much more as far as checking to see if your nails are done drying, spraying them with the quick dry, or putting the baggies on. Your pretty much on your own. Or maybe it was just us? Anyhow the whole experience was quite uncomfortable and for that reason I wont be going back. 2 stars for the great decor ;) read more

Very friendly, honest staff. Clean place. Great color options. I wash my hands constantly at work so I always find it frustrating when the polish starts to chip after 1 week. My no chip manicure lasted 3 weeks no problem!! I bought a groupon here but will definatly be coming back on the regular. read more

Great service! Cute nail place for adults and to bring your daughters! She was very nice and even has wine and water!! Who doesnt love a little wine while your sitting relaxing and getting your nails done?! A more of a plus... she gives a little massage!! Great job coming back again!! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a No-chip+regular pedicure and man am I glad I did! Elly did a great job, and when I chipped one of my nails after a few days she quickly fixed it and another one free of charge! Very knowledgeable staff, clean facilities and nothing over the top. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Very clean nail salon . Professional staff , great selection of nail polish and "dazzle dry" long lasting polish selection . Highly recommend . read more

Walked in last Sunday morning for a dip manicure. Spent almost 2 hours - dip then file it down, repeat 2 more times. Walked out with dip thin enough to pass for regular nail polish. It took 3 days for the first nail to chip, 5 days for it to start lifting away from my nails. Today is day 8 and I have 3 broken/chipped nails and 4 other nails where it is pulling away. $45-50 for a dip manicure that should last 3 weeks minimum....to say I wouldn't recommend is a gross understatement. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

New favorite nail bar! Gorgeous decorations inside and a very bright atmosphere. Super friendly staff and a huge color selection. Also very reasonably priced! read more

I went here after purchasing the Groupon for a no chip & pedi. And let me tell you it was well worth it. The spa is clean! And they know what they are doing. I went unsure of what color I wanted on my nails and what design after going back and forth because I kept changing my mind: ELLY, who is amazing helped me decide. I defiantly will be back & asking for her, she takes her time & is dedicated to making sure your happy. Not only are the nails done with care so is her arm, hand & shoulder rubs I received as complimentary! Amazing job ELLY. See you next month. read more

Polish Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is great! One of the only places in the city that does Dazzle Dry, which is a non-toxic no chip polish. The place is very clean, there is no bad smell and they have a great ventilation system. The staff was very nice. I was in and out with a mani/pedi AND a neck massage in an hour. This is my new go to nail salon. read more

New to town so bought a Groupon to try this place out at a discounted price. Did a regular mani/pedi and was really happy! Good color selection and the place was clean. Nina the owner did my nails and I would request her again, but everyone else looked happy with their nails too! Only complaint was that i couldn't upgrade to try this "dazzle" polish they have that is not UV but suppose to stay on for weeks. But she gave me 20% off my next visit over $30 (which means I would need two services but that's ok) so I'll be back! read more

Great neighborhood mani pedi spot! Perfect service and the neck massage was an awesome bonus! Definitely will be back!

Like many other reviewers, I bought a Groupon for a no-chip mani & pedi to Polish Nail Bar & it was money well spent! I arrived about 10 minutes before my appointment & they took me as soon as someone was available - just enough time for me to choose my polish colors. The nail technician did a really great job on both my mani & pedi and I will be definitely be coming back soon! read more

Horrible experience. Got a super awesome deal on Groupon for a no chip mani and regular pedicure. I came two hrs earlier then my next appointment The girl that did my nails didn't know what she was doing it took her an hr and fifteen mins to finish just my pedicure and the girl who came after me was done after 30mins. I didn't even have the time to get my manicure. Thankfully groupon refunded me this purchase. All I have to say if your new get people with a last some experience. I'm not saying you're not nice but pedicure shouldn't be more them 40 mins at most. read more

Came here today for a manicure and pedicure and it was a fantastic experience. I had Ana do my pedicure and Nina did my manicure and they were both so great. I can't wait to recommend this place to all my girlfriends. This is a brand new nail salon and their customer service will set them apart from others in the neighborhood. :) read more

I bought a Groupon for a no-chip manicure and pedicure and I made a same day appointment. I was treated very kindly here. Gina did my toes and nails and she made sure I was always happy with the color and the filing, etc. She did three coats of my no-chip which turned out great! I will definitely be back because Gina was so nice and the place was clean and not busy at all! read more

What a life saver! I came across this place after a google search. I was looking to get a No Chip near me after a nightmare Groupon situation. They pulled through above AND beyond! I was able to get in within the hour and my nails were perfection. Lupe made sure each nail was flawless and the hand and shoulder massage was an added plus (so much better than all other places I go to). For only 35 bucks and walking out with flawless nails...I will definitely be going here from now on. Also, Lupe literally let me try on every shade of the color I showed from my Instagram to be sure it was the one I wanted before she got started. Such a great place! Love it. read more

Don't usually write BUT the service was incredible and quick. Not as many funky colors as I'd like. I got my pedicure almost 3 weeks ago though and it still looks fresh. No chipping or anything! She wrapped my toes in Saran Wrap since I didn't have flip flops to wear out and I didn't smudge one bit. It also locked in the cuticle oil making my feet the softest they've ever felt. I'm missing half my big toenail from a construction accident and typically end up with it being ingrown from too much cutting or filing, but not this time! They took perfect care of me and I will definitely be back. The only downside is for them, it'll probably be a while before I'm back since I see this pedicure lasting so long! Also very clean and modern atmosphere. AND no awkward treatment considering I went in with a baller Groupon. Love this place. read more

This was my worst salon experience since moving to Chicago! My friend generously gave me a gift card to Polish Nail Bar. I was not verbally acknowledged even though it was empty. Their no chip manicure selection sucks! They did not have any of the colors that matched my various birthday dresses. The pedicure was mediocre, especially for $70. They didn't offer any refreshments. When I inquired about water, they ushered me to the sink where all of the clients wash their hands and gave me a dirty plastic cup. I was very annoyed. The last straw was that I was bullied into giving a tip. I was running late and forgot to bring cash. After my horrible experience, I did not feel inclined to tip. The salon manager heavily persuaded me to tip on my credit card, which made me feel very uncomfortable. A tip is a choice! I always tip but in this case, Polish Nail Bar's behavior was unacceptable! read more

Came here for mani-pedi two weeks ago, and the owner introduced me Dazzle dry no-chip manicure! I fell in love with this product!! I never seen this Dazzle in any other nail salons, and i am so happy that i found this place! I hate Gel manicure since its really hard to take-off :( . My manicure stayed two weeks and i work in healthcare environment where i need wash my hands numerous times, and it was just minor worn off at the end of two weeks! it does not chip like regular manicure. Very clean and modern atmosphere, and friendly customer services :). read more

Polish Nail Bar - Tried Dazzle Dry products and I am satisfied with quality !! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It was my first time in this nail bar and what a surprise ! They opened a month and half ago, very clean bar with new tools. They have a large selection of no chip and regular polish colors. I had the chance to have MB who done my mani and pedi, he was very kind, careful and professional. I was greeted by Yeimy, she is so lovely. I am totally satisfied, I'll come back for sure. Highly recommend it ! read more

Went on 8/31, called because 2 nails chipped on 9/3. Someone answered and told me that they would call me back after they talk to a manager. no one called me. I was out of town so I called again when I was back in chicago a few days later- at this time 5 nails chipped. The person who answered the phone when I called the second time responded "okay so what do you want?". I was hoping to get at least some kind of solution to fix this but they were just rude and that's why im leaving this review. Most times if this happens, they just say to come in and get it fixed. Especially since I called a few days after the first 2 nails chipped. Now, they just said "well it's been almost 2 weeks"-- it has now been 10 days but I called 3 days after it happened and no one called me back. So rude, and 5 chipped nails. No wonder why it's always dead in there. read more

Fantastic! I bought the groupon online and will definitely be coming again. It was clean and pretty, my pedicure was flawless and the massage chairs were bomb! What really made this place stand out was the service. The staff was so sweet, helpful and professional. The pedicurist even helped me put on my coat and collected my purse after I was dry. Check it out! read more

This place was really chic and clean. There were so many colors to choose from! Since this was my first time getting a pedicure, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised by the kindness of the staff and their professionalism. I could tell they knew what they were doing and I easily relaxed. I loved my nails and I would definitely recommend! read more

I got my nails down on a Sunday before I went out of town. Almost 2 weeks without chipping still was getting compliments the Monday after 1 week. Would go again read more

Best pedicure in the city. This place is beautiful BUT also the staff is soooo kind. I haf a peaceful pedicure from Jay and she did a wonderful massage too. The owner Leena, is warm and with her staff diligently cleaned the entire shop. Leena is very excited about her 24 hour air purifier and thinks this is also helpful for customers while they are in her shop. I love this place and plan to fill up my punch card soon. read more

Giving this place a 2 (is being generous!) This nail salon was recommended by a friend so I thought to give it a try. Keep in mind that I live in Roscoe Village where there are DOZENS of nail salons to choose from so you'd think that every place would have something different to offer to entice customers to return. It was also recommended that before we go, we purchase groupons for our services because there is always an offer and sure enough there was. My mom and I had appointments and we really excited to spend some quality mother/daughter time together. The overall pedicure service was sub-par, there is nothing really special about it (you need to consistently request for them to make the water warmer,) and you are not offered anything to drink which I always think is a nice added touch. Overall pedicure experience was just ok, and onto nails we go! What made this experience so awful was that during our pedicure my mom decided she wanted to get a french pedicure which was an extra $5. This was NOT something that the nail tech mentioned would be an up-charge. To add, during the pedicure, she also needed her no chip removed as she was getting another new no chip. This was also not advised that it was an additional $10 up-charge. As we were getting our nails done, I made sure to mention that we have a groupon and that I would like to pay before our nails were polished. The groupon was no issue and the nail tech took care of that just fine. However, she did then tell us it would be an extra $15 for my mother's no chip removal and french pedi. When we asked why this was not mentioned, the nail tech (I believe it was the manager,) got very aggressive and hostile with us and kept yelling that it was all on the menu. We understood that there was a pricing sheet but we wanted to point out that it would have been nice to have been informed that there would be up-charges. If this was the case we would have chosen our nail salon differently. The manager then continued to talk about our situation to a group of women who were waiting to get their nails done. She was shaking her head and waving her hands around making it seem like we were the unreasonable ones. During my manicure, I stopped my nail tech and said "Excuse me, if you'd like to continue the conversation, I'd prefer you speak to us with whom it regards." She then rushed over to where we were sitting and continued to tell us we were difficult that we should not come back. I gladly obliged to that because I've never been treated so poorly at a local business (which I support always!) I mentioned that there are a dozen nail salons within a mile radius of where we were and we will not be returning! Overall, I HAD to return today because 3 of my nails were chipped. When I walked in the same woman looked surprised I was there and said "is there something I can help you with," I said yes, my nails are chipped and its been less than 24 hours since I've had my manicure, I'd like them to be fixed. She fixed my nails and then proceeded to tell me how dry my skin was. I did not respond much, I just wanted to get out of there and never return. I would NOT recommend this salon. They are very unclear with their pricing and will talk about you to other customers right in front of your face. read more

I love this place! Great color collections and relaxing atmosphere at its best. They have good deals on Groupon too.

i was not impressed with the service yesterday! the staff is not very friendly and whoever did my pedi seemed as if she could care less about her job - my pedi is already chipped! even though the place is nice and clean, i do not recommend it. read more

I stopped in here yesterday and had a great experience. Helen did my nails. I got a no-chip manicure which looks great, and a pedicure. The salon was very clean and had good ventilation which I always appreciate. I've walked past this place a bunch, so I'm glad I finally stopped in. I will be back. It was a very relaxed environment. read more
