I've been coming to Nailacarte for a while and wanted to share some honest feedback about my recent…read moreexperiences. While I truly appreciate the skill of my nail technician, the front desk experience has consistently been a source of frustration. On multiple visits, the two younger women working the front desk have come across as dismissive and bothered -- whether I'm checking in, asking a simple question, or processing payment. I've also overheard negative remarks made about other customers, which was uncomfortable to witness. Additionally, I've found it difficult to accommodate basic requests, such as being seated with a friend or requesting a specific nail tech. The front-of-house experience has made it difficult to justify returning. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as I believe it reflects a larger pattern that may be affecting other customers as well.

Went for a pedicure today during my lunch and the tech that did my nail was rough. She dropped my…read morefoot on the rest multiple times. She also over drilled my nail when removing my no-chip and it is paper thin and red. I do not understand why they remove the no-chip by drilling instead of soaking-off like you are supposed to. She tried to say my nail was like that before, and although it WAS a little on the thinner side, she drilled to the point that it is sore and red and I felt it bothering me in the water. I left with no polish to do it myself at home because she was so rough. She also filed my nails horribly and I had to refile my nails at home. Jagged edges and crooked. I definitely won't be back especially for a $65 pedicure this bad.

My technician was such a fastidious person and he was attentive to details and it was so relaxing. I have actually liked the way they dealt with me during the process they are clearly aware of their craft and they are very keen with regard to the needs of their clients. I did not experience any form of pressure or discomfort at any time. The atmosphere of the salon is very relaxed and it makes spending time there very easy. I got out a satisfied person about my nails and the whole experience was excellent. I will definitely be coming back! This is what you want to call the type of place that you can guarantee of receiving excellent service and you can feel like you are in good hands. Without reservation, highly recommend!

I've been coming to Sapphire Halsted for many years and when I say I love everything about this place, I mean it. I love the bright space filled with art, fun music videos and chill vibes. The talent is unmatched. The techs keep the convo flowing when I'm feeling chatty, and don't press me when I just want to zone out. That's big for me. I've never had a bad mani, but IMO, Gala is the best. She meticulously removes every last shred of cuticle (and not in a way that hurts or makes my nail beds angry and red) and applies polish with such care. You can tell the owner takes great pride in his business because of the effort that he puts in to hiring great people and keeping the place looking nice. I always leave feeling relaxed and my nails looking amazing. I've never had a bad experience here and I look forward to visiting Black Onyx for years to come!

Thank you, Kimmy for my amazing first ever set of gel-x nails!…read more Since I moved away from the suburbs, I have yet to set foot in a nail salon in the city. It's been 3 years, so I decided to treat myself, and made an appointment at Revive Nails!! The booking system is easy to work with, and I was able to get a confirmed appointment quickly. I appreciated the info texted to me to find the salon easily while they do renovations (excited to see what it looks like when they're done!) I've always been kind of wary of getting nail services again because I'm always worried that I'm going to have too much cuticles cut off or that I'll get a burn from the drill, but Kimmy made sure that I was comfortable the entire time and it was a completely painless and comfortable experience! She guided me through color choices, shapes, and explained all of the proper aftercare (how to make the best of my mani/tips for keeping things looking their best in between appointments, etc.) I really felt like she knew what she's doing and that she cares about your nail health and comfort! I was in and out in less than 2 hours, and didn't have to suffer the smell of acrylic that I was used to. I'll definitely be back in the future!!

I needed my nails done for an October 2024 wedding and found Ipop Central. They had glowing reviews…read moreso I booked an appointment over the phone with owner Mylinh the week of the wedding. MyLinh went over my preferences and she requested I send a pic of the work I wanted done. I saw a picture off of Pinterest I wanted to replicate which required extensive artwork. With these parameters I also needed nail extensions. After going over preferences and quoting a price, Mylinh recommended I do the Russian manicure with builder gel application. I never had a Russian manicure before but was willing to try it out. She paired me with two technicians. Adele who did the manicure and Jamal who did the artwork. Russian manicures are high quality focusing on cuticle deep cleaning which can extend manicure wear. In fact, all of the work is dry application meaning your nails never get soaked in chemical solution. Total work with the artwork took 4 hours to complete with longer lasting results versus a traditional gel extensions. I kept my manicure over 3 weeks before seeing outgrowth and even then they still looked great! When it came time for removal they used a fine drill bit (no soaking was involved). I left with my natural nail intact with the nail bed feeling healthier than ever. Adele did a great job on my nails. She was gentle, patient and really took the quality of her work seriously. Jamal is a trained nail artist who does a good job with her nail art whether it's freestyle or replicating a design. The facilities are modern and clean with comfortable seating. Their pedicure chairs have customizable massage functions making your session a relaxing experience. I rarely get my nails done. At the most I get them done once or twice a year on special occasions or a vacation. However when I do get them done I go all out. After the amazing service I had here I plan to seek out Ipop Central for any future manicure/pedicure needs. Note: Parking is street side only so plan and schedule accordingly.

While Ipop was lovely at first, it got less lovely over time. While I appreciate how kind and…read morefriendly the entire staff is, their lack of skills got a little challenging eventually. One time I was there for 4 hours getting a builder gel fill and a pedicure. I appreciate a clean salon, which this certainly is, but there are downfalls that made it frustrating. There's also a couple hair salon booths within the nail salon and the noise from the blow dryers didn't help create a relaxing environment. After a manicure with a nail design that looked like I'd done it myself, and an unexpected upcharge, I decided to switch and find a new salon. If you have plenty of time and patience and are seeking a simple color without a design, ipop is a good option. But if you're looking for an efficient service, I would consider looking elsewhere.
