    Betty G.

    Great customer service and they do a good job with my nails. I've have been searching for a new nail salon since the manicurist at the place I have been going to (for years) has been super busy lately and I always had to wait for a while, even with appointments made a week or two ahead of time. On several occasions, she even forgot my appointment until I showed up. Not good. I am also very picky since I have been getting my nails done for a very very long time (yes, way too long!), so I can always tell the difference of these salons by pics posted of their employees' work on Yelp. :) After doing my due diligence for a while, I decided to try this salon out. Came here the first time on Friday and I got lost for a bit looking for the salon. I was, of course, late when I finally found them. The manicurist (that I had the appointment with) was super nice and did not have an attitude nor being grumpy or mean. They were instead, very polite and pleasant. They did beautiful work on my GelX and I was impressed when it was done. Love it! Hopefully, it will last as long as my other usual place, then I will switch for good.

    They do a fantastic job and pay attention to every detail, and I'm really happy with their work. I always get my nails done by Steven!

    Spider-Man short almond nails

    They were so sweet and the environment was so nice. It was exactly what I wanted she did such an amazing job!

    Nails, design

    Love my beach vibe nails so much! Great price compare to other nail salons I have tried. I got recommeded by a friend and so far, I love this place the most since they can do all kind of nails and designs I want. The salon is super clean and staffs are friendly, will be back for sure and highly recommend to everyone.

    Raw fingers
    Niala A.

    Nail tech made my fingers really raw when she was cutting my cuticles. Unnecessary to cut that much around the tips of my fingers. She made me bleed. I said it hurt but she kept going. She had bangs and glasses. Felt rushed...not at all worth the $133 + tip i spent for basic nails...

    Pretty gel-x done by Bella for daughter's Winter Formal event.

    We were recommended to come here from a coworker, who interestingly was also discouraged by the same nail salon that we had previously gone to a few days prior. Anyway, my daughter had gel-x nails applied a few days prior (at the other salon) for her Homecoming dance. Unfortunately a few days later her friend bent her nail backwards, which caused a partial tear to her skin under her actual nail that was bleeding. She came home from school in pain, so we decided it was for the better to have the pretty nails removed altogether. (Plus she's pretty active, and the long nails would be more of a hindrance.) I thought about going back to the previous salon to have them removed, but was told by a few people that they would charge a ridiculous amount to have them removed because they would want to talk us into keeping the nails and just having a polish change and touch-up, and so forth. My coworker told me that one of the reasons that she likes this salon is because all are their prices are upfront and not hidden. I saw that it would cost us $12.00 online, which seemed pretty reasonable to me. Once we were greeted I explained to the young gentleman about what had happened to her nail, and he reassured me that they could take care of it and remove the nails. He was courteous and gentle with the whole process, which made my daughter relieved and happy. It looks like we found ourselves a new favorite local nail salon for future visits! A big thank you to my friend who recommended this place and the gentleman that took care of my daughter.

    I'm very disappointed--not just with the service, but with how I was treated. I paid $75 for a manicure that was done poorly, with uneven paint and visible edges. For my job, I need clean, well-polished nails, so I came back the next morning as I was told I could. Instead of repainting the areas that were missed, a man tried filing my nails down to where the polish ended, which made no sense and didn't fix the problem. When I asked for the paint to be touched up properly, he told me I'd have to come back again. I explained I live far away and would prefer to wait--but instead of helping, he was rude and dismissive. Even worse, when I mentioned I had called the day before, he insisted I hadn't. I had to show my phone to show him I called which was then said to be the wrong number. I left feeling humiliated, like I had to defend myself for something that should've been fixed with an apology that they didn't do it right the first time.

    Hurt nail

    Hurt many of my fingers, it's been 3 days and they still sting. Other than that I liked the color and quality. The lady doing my nails was just talking to her co worker and avoided talking to me.

    Pedicure.

    I was in a desperate need of a pedicure and quickly hopped on yelp to see what was close by. I came across Polish Nail Spa and after reading the good reviews, I called to make an appointment and the were able to get me in 15 minutes later. When I arrived, I was greeted and checked in. The salon is nicely decorated and relaxing. The technician working on my pedicure took his time and focused on getting the color to cover my whole nailbed. The massage was so relaxing. Pricing is also reasonable. I look forward to to next pedicure!

    Nellie M.

    I always have good experience here. It is not pricey at all compared to other places around Lake Forest which can REALLY upcharge their prices, but this place doesn't which i like. It is very pretty inside and they always get it right! Service is quick and good. This is probably the best nail place I've been to and have been getting my nails done consistently (pretty much every month) since end of 2020. Usually with some nail salons/spas they get a bit lazy when it is crowded and care more about quantity rather than quality but this place never failed me even when it is busy. They're honest which is what i like the most! Granted, I do get simple designs as seen in the pictures but I have had some bad experiences from other places around here doing the same thing, and i observed how customers around me left with their nails, which they all liked! !!!! One last thing, most people leave bad reviews on any place because they had bad experiences, but very rarely good reviews because they had GOOD experience(s). Which is why I think this place doesn't have the amount of stars they truly deserve.

    Perfect work (gel x + chrome nail) by Nhi
    Nhi L.

    I got gel x removal, a new set of gel x application and white chrome nail. I'm totally satisfied with the results. They opened late also.

    Always a great experience and peaceful atmosphere! Jenny did my nails today and they look STUNNING. This was an acrylic fill from the last time I came and got them done by Tony! The team working here always makes sure to take great care of their customers at a reasonable price. Not to mention my nails last weeks without lifting! Thank you again for such a beautiful set ! I also included a pic of my last set.

    I am very disappointed with the way I was treated at this nail salon. I did not feel welcomed or comfortable here at all! Not only did I not feel welcome, the finished product of my nails was horrible. Very rushed. No effort put into my nails at all. I have never been this disappointed in a nail shop before.

I'm so glad. She does SUCH BEAUTIFUL designs and beautiful, intricate 3D art. You can tell she's a perfectionist and really cares.

    it makes me so so sad to write this review because i was originally a ginormous fan of "the nail…read moreboutique," but after the service i received last week, i feel that i have to say something. last friday i had an appointment to get my prom nails done at 2:30 PM. when i arrived, i waited for over 45 minutes to receive my service. i was never offered water or anything (which honestly isn't a big deal but i just felt it was worth mentioning) but was also never really acknowledged. i almost felt like they forgot about my appointment. when my service finally began, i showed my nail tech my inspiration picture and she was confident and excited to recreate my vision. however, what i left the salon with is far from what i asked for. i left with a flower that is sloppy, none of the petals connect, and that has a big red circle with black lines, which is nothing like what i asked for. beyond that, i felt like my french tips were somewhat rushed and a bit sloppy. i don't expect perfection by any any any means, but i just generally felt neglected as a customer and a bit rushed once my service began. beyond this, by the time monday came, which was 3 days after my initial appointment, one of my nails had fallen off. this was a full acrylic set that i paid over 93 dollars for, and less than 5 days later, they were already falling off of my fingers. again, i feel really bad writing this because i dont want to tarnish their reputation or make them seem like a terrible buisness, but im just really unsatisfied and upset with the service i received, and really frustrated that i spent close to 100 dollars for a service that does not meet my expectations. i know that 100 might not be a lot, but im still a teenager in high school, and i work really hard at my job to make that money, so losing that much of my money is just hard. i just would advise that if you go here, you definetly keep your designs simple, and make sure to go at a time when you know they won't be busy so that your appointment is not rushed.

    I love this advanced skincare medical spa. It's clean and Ling who does my Botox is really good…read more She is very experienced and knows how to make my Botox look very natural despite the fact I put in around 55cc's. She will not do your lower face because she would never want to hit a nerve and make your smile into a weird frown. She's very honest and tells you it straight. That's one of the reasons I go to her because she's not trying to sugar coat anything. She's honest with me about all their treatments and I trust her. I recently did the Xerf skin tightening treatment as I'm 48 and my skin has started to sag and get more creppy around my jawline and neck. My session went so well-I will warn you it was a bit painful but so worth it!!! I was blown away with the results. It really is quite remarkable especially after just one treatment. My skin isn't as soft and pliable. It's less wrinkly. My entire jawline, cheeks and neck skin have tightened up! There's not nearly as much loose skin! My 2nd appointment is coming up in a couple weeks and I can't wait to see those results. I was contemplating a lower neck lift and now I'm just doing this.
