Wow. Top notch service, I had a couple question regarding the differences in the services they…read moreprovide and the front desk was super helpful with answering my questions. My guy, Nick, was phenomenal, detailed oriented. I've experienced nail techs who aren't consistent with shaping but he was meticulous in making sure my shape was perfect on each finger. My only regret was not taking a before photo because my nails were not in good shape, but these after photos are beautiful! I found my new go to spot for nails and I'm so lucky to have gotten Nick as my nail tech because he was incredible.

I wanted to like this salon, but unfortunately my experience wasn't enough for me to return…read more The technician was friendly, and when they didn't have the OPI color I originally requested, she showed me two alternatives so I could choose the closest match. I appreciated that. However, I felt like the appointment was rushed. I requested round toenails, but they weren't shaped the way I had asked. I didn't realize they had been shaped differently until my manicure, when she asked, "You want square toenails but round fingernails?" At that point, it was too late to correct them. My manicure also wasn't shaped the way I wanted, and the replacement color ended up much pinker than I expected on my hands after only being tested on my toenail. There were also a couple of service issues that left me feeling overlooked. After my pedicure, she tried to send me to check out even though I had a manicure scheduled. During my manicure, I also noticed other clients were given towels or hand rests while my arms were resting directly on the cold table. The finished manicure is decent overall, although I noticed a few small air bubbles and that the color appears slightly thinner in some areas than others. Overall, I didn't feel like the experience was very personalized or attentive, so I'll be trying another salon next time

This is extremely unfortunate that I have to update my review and no longer support this business…read more I have been a REGULAR customer at Crystal Nails for the last 7 years! I've brought MULTIPLE people who have become customers to this place. The owner knows my entire family! But the way I was treated recently was truly disrespectful. For my birthday, I made an appointment for two pedicures for me and my daughter. I needed the appointment to be mid-afternoon, but the owner pushed for me to take a 4:45 appointment. As the day progressed and I was preparing for my event in the evening, the appointment time was cutting it way too close so I had to call and cancel. After I told the owner I had to cancel SHE HUNG UP ON ME!! I called 30 minutes before my scheduled appointment time to cancel. Is it an inconvenience to the business? Sure, I can understand there is an impact to a schedule change. However, to treat me- a regular customer, who has brought you lots of business- so rudely to hang up on me?? And she has my number to call me back if it was an accident, she didn't call back. I'm still astonished at this treatment. It's really a shame because now I need to take my business elsewhere. I will say that Lisa who works there is extremely talented, gives the best foot massages, and the best service in the entire place. You know in February I let it slide when I came to get a pedicure on a day that I was extremely stressed out, with my arm in a sling, and the owner and one of the older women working there made sarcastic comments about me being a few minutes late. They were not, and never were, packed to the gills with customers. Lisa was the only person who saw the stress on my face and comforted me when I burst into tears. I even was willing to come back after that! But never again. That treatment towards me was extremely unkind and I didn't deserve that. No one does.

Let me just say, I'm obsessed with my nails and amazed at how well they did my nails. First of all, I really appreciate the salon for not rushing me when picking out a color. I always get a no-chip gel manicure, and I was surprised when they did 2 layers of gel base, and THREE layers of gel polish. All places I've been to only does one base coat and 2 (at best) of gel polish. I believe my nail tech was Quynh and she really made sure to evenly coat my nails, and she even coated all of the sides (which is a problem I've had with other places). Will definitely come back here every Chicago trip!
