    Absolutely horrible experience. The nail tech had to be told many times to put nail polish on the entire nail...that is the bare minimum of a nail salon. Then they cut my cuticle so bad i was bleeding and still am for an hour after the service. My left hand ring finger. I am pretty sure i am going to get proposed to soon so this is even more upsetting. The least they could have done is taken off the charge for the nails because it was horrendous. Oh yes and they didn't have the chrome I wanted when redoing the horrendous nails, and still charged me for it! Oh but they took of 20%! so disgusting. Good service would be giving me them for free or giving me a free voucher for next time. I was so sad I couldn't even dispute anything because I was so overwhelmed and it feels like they took advantage of that. ALSO they DID NOT sanitize the entire station I was bleeding in!!! Thinking about reporting this further because that has to be a health violation and people should know before going.

    Never any complaints!

    Holli is the best nail tech and the manager is amazing as well! Only place I go! They are very kind and listen to what YOU want!

    Service requested is gel nails in french styles every four weeks like clockwork because I love this place. The quality is excellent and I am a picky birdie when it comes to my nail manicure and gel designs. The vibe is luxurious nail spa.

    Thank you Lana and Lani! :) always a good time at Rock Star Nails. The ladies are efficient and listen to your needs. The girls did a mani and pedi at the same time for me and my friend. It helped a lot because we didn't have too much time today. Everything looked amazing and the ladies are very patient and kind. I'm so happy with my design, best nails I have had in a long time. :)

    This is my favorite nail place in the area. I usually get a fill and no chip mani; when it's time a no chip pedi. I love the way my girl shapes my nails and the polish is always cleanly done. She also willing to do the designs I ask for (I'm pretty basic but I always leave loving my nails). This place can be expensive but let me tell you they are worth it. They do have what I consider apprentices working (at the same price) so I would recommend asking for someone who can do the design if you want something specific. The major plus of this place is you can book online and request your favorite artist.

    Jasmine did an amazing job! It was $64 for this dip with tips set-- one design nail per hand. I think that price is super reasonable for Evanston. I'm happy with my nails and thought the nail tech was very forgiving of my requests. The place is really cute too.

    Selected #652 DND's no chip gel in Lychee Peachy.

    I live in the neighborhood and have gone to this nail shop three times. My first visit I chose a lavender matte job that turned out not so great however I decided to go back and give them another shot. I was glad I did because every visit afterwards has been better. I've done regular manis, a signature pedi (which I recommend) and most recently got a full acrylic gel set for a vacation to Florida. I chose a bright coral color from DND #652 called Lychee Peachy and loved it! Their color selection is insane. There's a lot to choose from. I wouldn't rate them at the top for detailed nail art as there is a place in Skokie I go to but they are good with doing solid colors. Their gel acrylics held up well the entire trip and lasted days after. Two weeks later they grew out. I loved my nail job and wasn't ready to part ways. I kept them a couple weeks more and returned to do a fill. The fills last an extra week or two. This time Tom did my fill and he did an amazing job! If you're lucky enough to get him, I highly recommend his work. He thinned out the initial gel application and shaped my nails with precision. There have been 4 times when I had flawless nails and this most recent visit was definitely up there. Rock Star Nails Evanston gets busy, especially on weekends, so don't expect to have the same nail tech every time. I'd still come here because of its convenience, there's free decent parking in their lot and its one of the few places where you're offered a complementary non-alcoholic drink with your service. I love getting their refreshing cherry slushies from their slushy machine and the ambiance is super posh. If you want to treat yourself, this is the place to be.

    Yeah there's a slushy machine, it's a pretty location and it is spacey. The nail techs are friendly enough but not enough to keep customers coming back. I've been in for about four sessions, and with the same tech, Holly. She does a mediocre job applying acrylics and is good at basic line work design. Anything harder than line work, instead of declining to do the design she huffs and puffs and starts pretending she doesn't understand what I'm asking. It's made me feel uncomfortable because it's very simple what I ask. I am very patient, I ask questions--I like to be on the same page and was looking to keep coming back so it was important to me to build a relationship with respect and kindness. Two days ago I came in for a fill. Less than 24 hours, a nail broke because of how thin it was--I didn't even notice it falling off. I called to come in the next day to get it fixed assuming it would be complimentary as no ones nail should break the next day unless you slam them in a door but no! They charged me $5. It's not about the money but the principle--I felt very disappointed and robbed by this experience. I will no longer return and I will not only not recommend this place but warn people not to come if they are looking for a new place to keep giving business to.
