I called two hours in advance to make an appointment for 1:45 PM. I was told that was fine and they would see me then as usual. Upon arrival I filled out the form saying I wanted a full acrylic set, just as I had requested over the phone. I was told to sit down and I waited a good 20 minutes before anyone came up to me again. I understand, it's busy. After I told the guy why I wanted he repeatedly asked me if I wanted GELX instead, and I said no multiple times. Finally he said he thought it would look better and I asked how much they were. he told me $70 which is the same price as my nails usually so I said ok. After he RUSHED through my nails. Again, whatever. it's busy. but when were done and I went up to pay, the nails were $100! I absolutely would not have gotten them if I knew that. I felt really ripped off, and combined with everything else, I will NOT come back here. read more

Came in for a very basic, regular old-fashioned Opi Nail polish basic manicure. I did come in pretty late at 6:45pm and they close at 7:30pm. They took my late request without any complaints. Upon check in they give you a sheet to pick your selection. Then shortly afterwards a male nail technician picked up my sheet and then worked on my nails. Overall he did a good job, and was pretty quick. After prepping the normal nail cleaning, they use a nail adhesive and then put on two coats of polish. No additional top coat, but it was fine as it's been a few days and no chips yet. So if you want a basic late evening manicure because you have no time, then this is a good option. read more

See Tracy she is fantastic! Very kind and sweet. Her work is amazing. Schedule with Tracy.

Nice salon, clean and have complimentary drinks/snacks. Helen did my dip manicure and did a fantastic job! Very detailed, great shape and they look very natural. She also worked quick- this took a little less than an hour. After being very unhappy with my normal go-to salon in Glenview I am very happy to have tried Rock Star Nails. Will definitely get another manicure with Helen! read more

I got no chip nails and they start chipping in two days. I'm never going back there. Do not go

If I can rate this sh*thole 0 stars I would. I walked in today with my boyfriend and the guy who did my nails was rude. When I sat down he didn't even ask me to wash my hands, which is disgusting considering. Anyway I washed my hands and sat down, and he DIDNT EVEN ASK ME WHAT I WANTED. Didn't ask for a photo or anything. So I told him I wanted long stiletto shaped nails. He proceeded to give me short almond nails and they weren't even shaped correctly. I wouldn't even call them almond. Mid session I walked out. I've been sitting at home trying to fix this disaster on my nails and I'm not even able to make it look even acceptable. There's acrylic on MY SKIN because he placed the acrylic dip so sloppily. This place sucks, I've been here 4 times & every time I went my nails were crooked, cut too short & done very sloppy and unprofessional. This nail tech was super crappy and had an attitude the whole time. As I kept trying to tell him what I wanted and how it wasn't done correctly he would just sit here silently and not fix it. I hate this place. Mediocre and sloppy af. read more

Rock Star Nails & Spa - Does this look like long stiletto?! - Nail Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

My first time coming here and I'm disappointed. I thought it would be a good back up salon but oh well. The way the nail techs did my nails was unprofessional and a waste of money. I wasted 125 bucks. I said goodbye nicely to the staff and they all ignored me. I'm too afraid to ask for a refund. Never going again... update: I called for a refund because they were not sanitary with my services at all. They refused to give me a refund because of that. The dude that did my nails dropped the tool on the floor and then continued to use it on my hands....I'm so disgusted and pissed off read more

Stopped into Rock Star for the first time last week with my daughter to get manicures, and I haven't been this disappointed in a nail salon experience in a long time. The place looked promising when we came in because we saw the drink machine in the center of the room, and thought we were in for some fun pampering. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Both of our techs rushed through our manicures so quickly, with my tech using a dirty, scratchy towel the entire time. They both skipped steps in the procedure, and when I looked at the first coat of my daughter's nails as they were being polished over with the second coat, I could immediately tell that that nail polish was clumpy and old. I brought this to her tech's attention, and she kept ignoring me. So I asked her to stop and pointed out how bad the nail polish looked. And she and the other techs next to her looked at the nails, spoke to each other, laughed, then she continued on. They knew exactly what I was saying, as the streaks were very apparent, and she chose to ignore. And both techs were just rushing through the jobs so that they could socialize with each other at the back of the salon, as they didn't have anyone in their chairs after us. When I moved over to the drying table, my tech didn't even bother to bring me my purse, which is pretty customary at every other nail salon I've been to since wet nails will get ruined by grabbing a bag. The techs just made both of us feel like afterthoughts, and both of our nails looked as such. We both removed our nail polish the next day because the quality was terrible, and we both had almost immediate chipping. And while the drinks were not a necessity, but rather a nice touch that made this place extra appealing, the Orange Fanta I chose from the machine was 100% NOT Orange Fanta. Not sure what off brand, cheap version they use, but it tasted terrible! read more

if I could rate this place zero stars I would. if you want a mediocre plain manicure it's great! if you want any design or flower other than just a solid color painted on they cannot do this task! was there for almost 2 hours just to get hot pink nails after I specified i didn't want that and showed a photo. after complaining to three employees they still charged me $50 and were not skilled enough for the design after previously telling me they were. would never return. read more

If I could , I would give negative stars. Such pathetic and rude staff. I've never seen this behavior before in any service provider business in my whole life. This guy doing my dip manicure just flung the powder and walked away when I told him his shoe is touching my fresh pedicure and I need to sit sideways. He just FLUNG the dip powder and walked away. What kind of behavior and arrogance is this! Such a sh*thole. Don't ever bother stepping in this place. Horrible is an understatement. read more

I feel like they were rushed. They did fit us in as walk ins, however the color I wanted for the French manicure wasn't used....and the results are sloppy. I know my curricula aren't the best, but I feel like I wasn't able to be given the most adequate attention. I'd give them another chance, but I feel like I should have had better results for the $43 French nails. read more

"Beautiful" fresh manicure just out of the salon. I know the "factory" style approach of all these kind of salons, but me as a client asking a nail technician to "please do cut a cuticles", isn't it a part of classic mani? My 5 year old daughter doesn't same mani. Pedicure looks looks exactly the same, all Done in like 35 min in and out. Too bad I can't leave 0 stars. And yes I did give 20% tip for "this" I did not even bother to go for a no chip, since I know a THIN layer and natural, aesthetic Polish does not mean anything to nail techs there. Unfriendly approach unless you show them attitude first then they understand and start being polite. Very rushed and unprofessional techs. read more

Rock Star Nails & Spa - "Beautiful" fresh manicure just out of the salon. - Nail Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

I've been going to this nail salon for the past 5 years. Incredibly rude today bc I switched nail techs. When a tech is 30 minutes late WITHOUT an apology, I don't have time for this. So I switched to another tech who was snippy and barely said two words even though she knows me. Receptionist snotty bc my chip card didn't go through. Believe me, I have more than enough money in the account to cover my services! They aren't the only show in town so I'll not be going back! Wow - just read the other reviews AFTER I posted mine. Sounds like Rock Star is no Rock Star! Lots of complaints about rude behavior. Will be happy to take my money to another salon that understands the meaning of customer service. read more

My first experience here was great! 5 stars, so I came back. I can now say that was a mistake. My nail tech offered me no drink this time, even when I asked for one. She also cut me MULTIPLE times. At first, I thought it was just my thumb (see attached) because I could see the blood on it, but counting the cuts around my nails, I see ELEVEN! One or even two- not that big of a deal. It's painful but it happens. My tech actually blamed me and said it was my fault and this is what happens when you have dry hands. I had just come from Florida and can assure you, my hands were not dry. I'm giving two stars because the manicures DO last and they look nice. I actually just got a compliment on it right now. At that exact moment, I went to put hand sanitizer on my hands and it stung due to the little cuts still along my nails. This photo is one week after. Again, awesome nails, TERRIBLE manicure. Look at my poor thumb. :( Honestly, I'll probably be back due to this being one of the only dip salons in the area and if anything changes, I'll be sure to update my review. read more

Rock Star Nails & Spa - Cuts on nail beds blamed on "dry hands" - Nail Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Went here with a friend. When you first walk in the place it looks really nice. It has an upscale look and feel to it. The reception desk is a bit small, and the person up front isn't overly friendly, not mean or rude, just not very friendly. They ask if you are a walk in or if you have an appointment and then they give you a sheet of paper where you write your name, appointment (or walk in time) and what service you are getting done. If you have any questions good luck.. the person at the desk is not paying attention to you so if you are new here you will need to get her attention to ask questions. After that you go to a wall and pick out the nail polish you want. My friend are I came here for pedicures, and we were not given any direction. You walk to the nail polish wall and then again, you need to find a person to ask where you need to go. They point you in the direction of the pedicure chairs and look for your paper with your name. No one will take you to your seat or show you where to go. Once you find it, you sit down and wait. When your technician comes over they do not introduce themselves, they say hi and just get to work. The chairs are great!!! They are super comfortable and have massage options!!! It's great!!! The Pedicure itself leaves much to be desired. It was a bit fast, and I can't say they did an excellent job on my toes. She barely cleaned or cut anything, then she put on the scrub on my legs and rubbed it in for a few seconds and then wiped it off. Not much to it. Then she quickly did my toes, again, not a fantastic job. Not messy, but not overly neat and without much care to detail. The one thing I did like is that after they pain your toes they leave you alone to let them dry and I never felt rushed to leave. Was this place the best I've ever been to? No, was it the worst? Also no. Would I go back? Probably not. read more

Very overrated. A beautiful salon but bad service. They don't offer you a drink or snack, you have to ask. They rushed me through my no chip, and barely shaped my nails. It looked like a job I could have done at home. The whole experience was rushed, not relaxing at all. The lady kept pulling my hand in a rude manner and scowled at my Christmas red green and white color choice, like it was too much work. Plus side. The staying power of the manicure was good. Lasted the full two weeks. read more

I have never been treated so poorly at a nail salon in my life! The person doing my nails should never be around people. She had an attitude from the moment I walked in the door and did my nails so aggressively. She asked me what was wrong and I said you could be nice to me. She started yelling at me. She actually stood up and yelled at me. Then she screamed something in Vietnamese and got up and walked away. I sat for a moment and no one said a word to me so I got up and began putting on my coat. I asked what just happened? The response was you don't have to pay. Why would I pay when she ruined my nails? No one in the salon apologized or even offered any kind of help or resolution. I left in tears because my nails were less than half done and I was screamed at. I had an event the very next day and had to find the time to get someone else to fix the mess that she made of my nails. Also no offer of any drink whatsoever like the people who recommended this place told me. I even mentioned that I had never been to a nail salon with a soda fountain. She just looked at it and shrugged her shoulders. I asked if the lady near me was drinking wine and she ignored me. I had made the appointment in the morning so she knew I was coming. I was not a walk in. You may ask what I did to deserve such treatment and the answer is nothing. I showed up and the person that was doing my nails didn't want to be there. It was as if she was mistreating me so that I would complain. That way she would have an excuse to leave. When I didn't, she blew up on me and left anyway. Update... called and asked to speak to the owner and was told he rarely comes in. I then asked to speak to the manager and was told he was not around. I then asked to leave my number and whoever on the phone said I'm busy right now and hung up on me. Nail in the coffin. read more

My experience here was great! The nail salon is very spacious and there is a wide variety of staff here. However, I know some people have had subpar nail experiences here with different technicians. When I went here my nail technician was nice and did very well. I received the deluxe pedicure which included a more thorough foot massage with lotion and a scrub. The massage chair was great and they even offer free slushies and soft drinks with your service! Would definitely come here again. read more

Gross. I will never go there again. The man that did my nails had long thumb nails that he used to shape the edges of the polish on my nails at the end of the manicure. At that point I could not exactly get up and leave but it was so wrong. Hello - use the shaping tool like all other manicurists do. Yuck. read more

My mother and her caregiver both went to get their nails done. Exact same service but charged two different prices. My mothers caregiver was charged an "other" service of $15.00. When asked the man replied "well I have to pay for my lights". I am guessing she was charged a color of skin fee. When they told me this story I was disgusted. HORRIBLE PLACE WITH SLIDING PRICES ACCORDING TO SKIN COLOR. read more

Walking into this place was very nice, the atmosphere was great it was very roomy and has alot stations which was really great but I think they were understaffed either way I had high expectations for what I was gonna get. I talked to a lady about what I wanted and she gave me a price so as I was waiting for the few nails I had left from another shop to soak off I was watching her do someone else's and by the time my nails were done I ended up getting someone different which I thought was weird. Anyways I ended up getting (for the first time) what they called dip with tips which is basically tips like an artificial nails but without acrylic or gel on top, it was just with powder that you dip you fingers in, that was the color that you wanted; which was cool but I asked for an Ombre effect from red to black, the lady started to do the black but I ended up saying to just do red because the way she was doing the black seemed like she didn't know what she was doing even though she said she was just "short on time" which in my opinion I think if you have the sample to pick from you should be able to do it, she could have said something about it being difficult to do but didn't. I also wanted my nails to be pointed which they charged 5 extra dollars for which I think is messed up because every single time I went to other places they didn't charge extra for other shapes besides square or round so I decided to do square which ended up being way too big for my fingers and she ended up cutting my finger as well. So I am not going back there honestly. read more

You could compare my nails to corn on the cob. Like someone glued pieces of corn on my nails and called it a manicure. I'm mad at myself for even allowing this review to be written. I've given this place so many chances over the years and it's done nothing but disappoint. Today was the last straw. The fact that this was my first manicure in 4 months. Doesn't help anything. My nails were beautiful prior to going in this place. Nice. Strong. Long. Now? God awful. Please see images for an exact idea of the catastrophe. I understand, not ever nail tech can do the same things. Completely understandable. BUT do not tell me, you can do it, just to half a** it and charge me more for a sh*t job. My "manicure" wasn't even a manicure. No cutical cleaning. Didn't push back the nail beds. Didn't file anyrhing. Literally just diped my nails. I could've done a better job. Not to mention they raised the prices and didn't let me know until after I paid. We'll get to that later though I asked for bright, neon, highlighter nails. With a ring finger cheetah print design. If that request was too challenging. Fine. No big deal. But say that before hand. I don't need to be the test dummy on a Friday night when I'm already in a hurry. So the lady made two coats feel and look like four coats. How? I dont know. Ask her. She attempted the cheetah. Failed miserably. Fine. I still tipped her well. But it wasn't until the snotty, snake at the front desk. That's what really did it for me. Doesn't ask me how my nails were until AFTER I paid. She saw them. You could see them from a mile away. Again. Bright yellow. Chunky. Thick. God awful. Then she tells me the price is $42. I go for what? Because I truly thought they were charging me more for the "design" I made them take off. Then she tells me the prices went up. And I get it. Coronavirus. Sure. Whatever. But SAY THAT. put a sign somewhere. Put it online. Tell the customer. Don't be a snake and try to get away with it. I told her the terrible job. She could see the terrible job. These nails literally won't last me 4 days cus of how thick they are. The solution? "I can file them down for you." My thumbs look wide. I dont know how that managed to happen cus they weren't like that when I went it. I look like I have short, stubby, and wide nails. Cus I do. NOW. The customer service is just trash. Offer a refund. A discount. Something. Don't bullsh*t a good customer who is STILL tipping well after a terrible "manicure." And after the prices mysteriously increas The only reason I've put up with this place for so long, is because there are a few great nail techs there. I love Tom and Ana. And a few others, but I'm not sure their names. It's those wishy wash in betweenners that cause these reviews. read more

This places ROCKS! Jessie did a great job on my no chip manicure. She removed my old no chip very quickly & finished the new application in 45min. It was a big place, with plenty of staff to run a lot of the stations. I had an appointment & was seen right away. You get a beverage with your service but I had to ask for it, it was not offered. Other than that it was a great experience first time experience & I'd definitely go back. Highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Rock Star Nails & Spa - Ballet pink #601 no chip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Review for Skokie salon not yet on yelp. Not up front about pricing - because my daughter had cuticles that needed to be trimmed, I agreed to adult mani price. Later find out I was charged for adult pedi as well which makes no sense. My mani regular polish never set, it was gooey 1hr after application, resulting in many smudges and I had to remove it. I called and they were unwilling to credit me difference for pedi. They did offer re-polish, but that's more time invested and I'm cutting my losses. For $160, I expect a lot more. Will not be going back. read more

My daughter was so excited to get her nails done with her friend! The first thing she told me about is them commenting on the fact she bites her nails. She is very insecure about this and got really upset. I gave her a certain amount of money for the nails + tip and then she called me and told me that they charged her $10 extra for the shape she wanted! How ridiculous is that?! They should either include that in the flat fee or not have it at all. Also being one of the easiest nails shapes is bizarre! On top of that her nails started chipping after the first day. Overall I do not appreciate the service here and will not be back:-( read more

As room mom for my daughter's class I was looking for a fun option for moms night out. And so I decided to combine my favorite things...getting pampered, sushi, socializing & missing bedtime. Late one night I began by reaching out to a few of my favorite Glencoe/Winnetka nail salons that I frequent on a regular basis, but there wasn't an option to reach them online. Rock Star Nails made it easy because I was able to message them right thru Yelp and the owner, Brian, responded literally within minutes. I had never been to Rock Star Nails, but David made it so easy that I was sold. David had no issues staying open late the night of our event. It was the cost of the services + a $50 rental fee, which wasn't much after divided up among all the moms. He said we could bring in any food/wine and would provide a table for us to put it out. He followed up a few days before with the # of expected attendees so he would be well staffed and they were ready for us when we arrived on a cold Wednesday evening at 6:30pm. The salon itself is really pretty...and absolutely huge! We had invited another first grade class to join the fun, but I was thinking I could have invited all the first grade moms to partake in the fun. All the moms enjoyed manis or pedis (mani for me). They have a few different manicure options to choose from and I went with something a little bit different than the classic manicure since (for once) I wasn't in a rush when getting my nails done. While it wasn't the best manicure I've ever gotten (chipped within the week), it was relaxing and my nails looked way better than when I first came in. Sadly they remained hidden in gloves the majority of that extremely cold week. We then enjoyed wine and some sushi trays (yay for AO Sushi) with our fancy hands and feet. The staff at Rock Star didn't rush us at all so we could enjoy eating, drinking and socializing for a bit. When it comes to getting my nails done I tend to go close to home or work out of convenience so I don't think I"ll be a regular customer, but I will definitely be considering for future moms nights! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! EVER!!!! Seriously! Even other nail salons in the North Shore know this place's reputation and cringe when you say you've gone here!! Ugh....I don't even know where to begin as to how horrible, unsafe and deplorable this cesspool is! But let's see... they gave my daughter a serious toe infection from a pedicure; her dip manicures NEVER last, as her nails break or the color comes off; then they "say" they'll repair it or give a "do-over" for free, but when you go back in to claim this, they'll tell you they need "proof" you had them done there & then deny they said you could get it re-done; I've had girls working on my dip actually texting WHILE working on my nails, then say to me "Oh, will you please let me know if my boss is looking? I'lll get in trouble for being on my cell! He he he!"...are you F*ing kidding me??...they try and beat the clock and work on you as fast as they can, aiming to get the next unsuspecting fool in ASAP...I could go on & on.... Listen folks, there are WAY TOO MANY other great nail salons that aren't like this FACTORY, churning out appointments like you were a widget. This place should be shut down!!!!!!! The place and staff are skeevy - STAY AWAY!!!!!! read more

I contemplated giving this place a 2 star rating. It's a beautiful salon, and I was treated well, but I'm really upset that my supposedly no chip manicure only lasted two days. I paid for no chip, for what I got I should've just gotten a regular manicure. I also felt that they overly buffed my nails so they're going to be pretty damaged for the next month while I grow out my nails. The whole experience was rushed, but I was on a lunch break at work, so that was a plus for me. People saying they don't offer refreshments didn't read the sheet they have you fill out in the beginning. There's a section at the bottom for complimentary drinks. Everything from water, to juices, to coffee, and tea. I will be going back to see if they will fix my thumb nail. I'll update this review after. read more
