Losing a layer of skin on the top of one's foot during a pedicure is not my idea of relaxing.
Janet C.

I'm heading to Hawaii today for vacation, am fairly new to the West Loop neighborhood, and wanted to get a pedicure last night before my trip. So I turned to Yelp and found RayBella Nails. It's close to where i live and had good reviews. Perfect, right? Well, hold my beer ladies and gentlemen. Marlo is a really nice lady. But good Lord, who uses the scrubber thingy that takes the dead skin off the bottom of your foot, on the TOP of your foot?? See photo of the damage to the top of my foot. The color selection is minimal compared to every other nail salon I've ever been to. The chair isn't a massage chair, it's a vibrating chair- but at least it was very comfortable. The water. This is like a portable water bowl, not like the bubbling professional water bowls you get at established salons. It got cold pretty easily. She said there is a heating element, and turned it on. It took forever to heat, and I mostly felt the heat on the bottom of one foot; the water never really warmed up. In short, I shall not go back. I prefer to keep the skin on the top of my foot in good working order.

This is how amazing it still looks AFTER FOUR WEEKS!!!!!!!

I know I've written a review for Marlo and RayBella nails before but i just needed to update it after my last, latest amazing experience! Let me tell you, I've been getting no chip manicures, back to back, for the last 5 and 1/2 years and I got one done with Marlo almost FOUR WEEKS AGO and even up until today I am getting complimented on them!!!! No no chip manicure has EVER lasted me this long!!!! The polish was applied perfectly from end to end and Marlo helped me pick out colors that were perfect for me!! She did gorgeous ombre nails with this gorgeous light pink and white for the tips. It was so beautifully blended and I got compliments on it literally on the daily!! I just removed them today and have never been more sad to see a no-chip go! I have to book my appointments about a week in advance nowadays because she is getting popular, and rightfully so!!! Such care combined with such talent! I absolutely can not wait to see her again! She is always fun to chat with and is always so positive! All in all, i am still thoroughly impressed by her and the amazing, long lasting no-chip nails she did for me! So glad I found her! Also, she does nails out of a salon called Thread Away. The entire decor and ambience is so calm and peaceful, and all the scrubs and scents Marlo uses for the pedicures are absolutely divine! It is such a consistently amazing experience EVERY TIME! 5 stars, all day, everyday!

All my nails are uneven, bumpy and clumpy. It took an hour and a half to do a basic dip manicure that takes 1 hour at MOST anywhere else. I appreciate raybella because I know it's a smaller salon but for that kind of money ($65) and time I wish the result would've been better.

Its a little unclear, but it was done very neatly and seems like it will last a long time

Marlo is amazing and I'd highly recommend her for the no-chip manicure. This was my first time getting a gel manicure and Marlo was supportive in telling me all the steps, helping me pick out a color, and keeping me comfortable throughout. She is very thorough with cleaning the cuticle and buffing the nails and applied several coats and asked me throughout if length of nails/color was to my liking. In terms of logistics, -you have to book an appt through StyleSeat (I think you have to make a login) and appts are generally 2 weeks out. -I was a little worried that they take your credit card since I had already paid with Groupon but Marlo ensures that if you have a Groupon its super easy to pay with it. -Bring cash for tip. -Don't look for a sign with Raybella, she is located inside the Threadaway and shares the space with them.

I had tried many different nail salons until I found RayBella. I was looking for a nail place nearby my house, easy to find parking, good customer service and of cuz with professional skills. I started as a Groupon customer, but Marlo didn't treat me differently. She is friendly and welcoming. She always check and ensure I like the nail shape before applying color. With Marlo, my no chip usually lasted for more than 3 weeks and I am serious! After my first two appts, I bought a nail package from Marlo. RayBella met all my expectations. Today is my fifth time going back to Marlo and I love it!

Gel extensions

I got gel extensions and they turned out really nice! Marlo was great. It was quick and easy. Will come again!

I paid $80 for my hand and toes. This is what the result was. The nail stylist called me and yelled at me today and then hung up. She accused me of being on my phone the entire time-meanwhile she was working on my hands simultaneously so I'm not sure how I could have been on my phone. She refused to give me a partial refund and stated she showed "everyone" these pictures and they found nothing wrong with the nails. I spent 2.5 hours there, and it took her an hour to get my no- chip off, while other salons only take 10-15 mins. The fact that she called me, starts to yell and raise her voice, accuses me of being on my phone, and then hangs up is the most unprofessional experience I've had. Please review the photos and determine the poor, below- standard results.

from beginning to end, i received excellent customer service…read more i spoke with someone on the phone to book my appointment, and they were very polite. when i arrived, the front desk staff was just as welcoming, and my nail tech was an absolute sweetheart. truly 10s across the board for the entire team. they also offer coffee and water, which is such a nice touch. i got the golden spa luxury pedicure ($90) and a no-chip gel manicure ($48), plus the gel add-on ($20) for the pedicure. the service itself was lovely--my tech was professional, attentive, and clearly knew what she was doing, which always makes a difference. i'm really happy with the results, and after walking all over chicago these past few days, my feet are definitely thanking me! i would absolutely recommend this place and will be returning next time i'm back in chicago.

I moved from LA to Chicago in October and hadn't gotten around to finding a new nail salon until…read moreMarch. After perusing Yelp reviews for nail salons in my area, it seemed the consensus was that Refine was a cut above the rest. I walked in late Friday morning and was seated in a comfortable massage chair for my pedicure within 10 minutes. Mandy took great care of my neglected feet. After a relaxing pedicure, she walked me over to the nail stations for my Gel X full set. At that point, I realized I might be cutting it close to my next appointment that afternoon. Mandy went to work quickly and made sure I got a perfect set of nails in time for my next appointment. The location is convenient with plenty of street parking. The space is beautiful and clean. And the service is friendly and welcoming, including making sure guests have drinks and are comfortable and satisfied. I'm happy to have found my new Chicago nail spot!
