There is a lot of polish on the skin around my nail and I can't do much to fix it because it's gel. Peeling it off the sides would lead to peeling off the whole nail. On top of that, they cut my cuticles way too short. I bled during the appointment and have scabs near my nail beds. I can't count this as a bad day because my friend also got a manicure with a different tech today and had a similar experience. My thought is that unless you're going for builder gel or dip, this is not the place.

Best nails place in Chicago. I have been going to them since their opening and never had a bad…read moreservice. It's extremely clean and cutely decorated. They have extremely comfortable massage chairs. My favorite thing is 'Volcano Spa Pedicure'' ,for $20 more on top of a normal pedicure , you receive extra treatments and get a 10 minute foot and leg massage. The perfect treat after a long day. On top of all that, you can pick out nail designs on Pinterest and 9 of 10 times, they can do the design. I ALWAYS get compliments everywhere I go and my gel nails still look good after 5 weeks! For customers who complain about Dip, they should really switch to gel manicures. Dip absolutely ruins your nails, that's why they are probably messed up, especially if you have fine nail beds. Gel makes your nails way stronger, allowing the manicure to last over a month. Getting gel off is much easier today than in the past while dip still messes your nails up when removing. Then, they have quick dry nail polish that I get on my feet. It dries fully by the time my manicure is finished. It might just be me but my toe nails last a month too. However, expecting a dry fast nail polish to last more than a week is rather hopeful. Again, gel gives you so many opportunities to decorate your nails in many ways, stronger. Most of my friends have switched to them. I almost don't want to write a review ,so the secret gets out, but these ladies deserve the appreciation! They are true artists and so kind! Shout out to my favorite, Augie!!! Thank you for always making me feel beautiful!

Some months back I left an enthusiastic review about this place. I've been back several times and…read morehave always been happy. Until today. The nail tech, (Nam) doesn't speak English but pretends to.This is particularly annoying because she can't follow instructions. $70 mani pedi. Both were half-assed. Pedi: After cutting my nails, I asked her if she could go shorter safely- without making them too short. She nodded and cut the big toenail so short she drew blood. This is when I suspected she couldn't understand me. No massage, scrub cream was applied to my legs and then rinsed off-no scrubbing. No real attempt to get rid of calluses. Mani-my nails are on the shorter side and I just wanted them to all be the same length and shape. I had to correct her several times because she wasn't following those simple instructions. Some of my nails ended up lopsided anyhow. No hand massage, no lotion and sloppy polish application. I had to ask her to redo several nails. When she's done, she takes me to the drying table, tells me how long to wait and starts to leave. Until I call her back to turn the drying fan on. (I couldn't find the switch). She stomped off, never to be seen again. I had to ask one of the other techs to bring my bag and shoes over, because she didn't. This was very disappointing.

I cannot recommend Flawless more highly. I decided to splurge and treat myself to a spa mani/pedi…read morewhich after the long year that was January 2025 was very necessary. I was able to schedule an appointment with Vanidy for the next day using the Vagaro app. The only issue I had with the app was if you want multiple services that aren't already bundled (i.e. if you wanted a regular manicure and a spa pedicure) then you have to book two separate appointments. Also there's a discrepancy on how much the no-chip upgrade costs (website says $25 but Vagaro says $30; I believe it is $30). I was one of the first appointments of the day, so it was quiet and everything was gleaming. Vanidy got my pedicure chair ready first before having me sit down, which I appreciated. The chair was more modern and the massage feature was clutch. Vanidy was very thorough and treated my feet and legs with care. I opted to add the extra 10 minute massage, which was worth every second. I wish there had been a little more attention on the feet, but having the pressure relief in my calves was needed and appreciated. When we switched to the manicure station, I was pleased to see the furniture was more midcentury than a typical nail salon; made it feel cozier. Again, Vanidy had everything laid out for me and was again so thorough. In recent manicures at other salons, I've had to ask the nail techs to clean up spots where they left polish on my skin or hadn't painted all the way to the end of the nail, but not so with Vanidy. I was pleasantly surprised to get booties and warmer mittens on my hands during the paraffin wax treatment, and I practically melted being so relaxed. My hands were baby soft, which feels like a miracle in this cold winter. I am obsesed with both my mani and pedi and can't stop looking at them. I've been texting friends about Flawless and encouraging them to go, and plan on taking my friend here when she visits in March. While it's pricier than what I normally can pay for nails, I will absolutely be back when I next need a splurge.

Out of towner here whose main nail care is a pedicure every 3 months…read more My sister-in-law took me and my mom out for a girls day Christmas week and what a fun experience. We each got our nails done and honestly if the experience was like this back home I'd get my nails done way more often! The nail techs were ready for us when we got there even on Christmas Eve Eve. My mom was seated first, then me 3 minutes later then my SIL 2 minutes after me. I'm not chatty at all when I get these services done and I loved the way my tech was on that wave too. Mom and SIL love to talk and were deep in convo with their techs. The manicure itself was thorough - my insolent cuticles were tamed and removed with ease - and the polish job itself was great. I mostly avoid manicures because I chip the polish in 24 hours but here we are 5 days later and my fingers still look like shiny disco balls. Why I would return: -comfortable seating at the nail tables. Sturdy with room for ample bottoms -friendly and efficient service. There is NO NEED to be at a nail salon for hours. We were out in 45 min max including dry time. -welcoming reception. I love seeing my people when I'm out and she was very warm and inviting. So much so when I told people where we went to get our nails done they asked if she was working. -good job on the polish. Clean lines, no smudge, long/lasting. -NO CHEMICAL SMELLS. From a customer side this was nice - I'm sure from an employee side it's even better. -Super clean and modern. Sometimes nail shops can be worn down. It's clear this place is investing in the space - which makes a nicer work environment and experience for all.

I decided to try You & Co Nails when the nail salon near me closed. It is a cute, clean, welcoming…read morenail salon located just South of the main square in Lincoln Square. Appointments: They are an incredibly busy nail salon, so I highly recommend making an appointment if you're thinking about getting a service done. They do take walk-ins, but you may have to wait. Service: I have now been to You & Co 4 times. Interestingly, I have learned that my experience differs quite a bit depending on the tech I get. The first time I visited was in the summer because I had a gift certificate. Sadly, my first time was not a great experience. I told the tech that I had ingrown toe nails. She did take care of it, but within a day, my toenail was infected, was painful, and had pus coming out. I almost didn't return. Then, when my salon closed, I decided to give You & Co another shot, since they have overwhelmingly positive reviews, and my first experience could have been a fluke. I wish I got the name of my nail tech for this second one because she did such an incredible job. My gel mani and pedicure were meticulously done, and my no-chip lasted for over 3 weeks. The third time, I had a guy, who was also meticulous. However, he recommended no more than 2 coats on my gel manicure. I get the reasoning so that my nails don't look thick, but unfortunately, my nails started chipping in less than a week. My pedicure lasted for over a month though! The last time I went in December, they were really informative in helping me with some fun holiday nails. I opted for the cat eye nail polish, which I loved. What I generally appreciate about You & Co is that they are quick but mostly detail-oriented. If you're busy, this is great.

Only off thing about my visit on this slow afternoon was sitting someone next to me in the pedicure chairs who needed to have a issue with a toenail addressed, by all 3 staff members. Sure, they could have sat her 4 chair s away from me, so I could talk to my mom who was getting a manicure, but nope. I got to hear all about this woman's toenail. Really awkward. My foot soak lasted until they sorted her out, and the water got cold. Luckily my mom was able to turn and talk to me while the 3 staff members worked on one persons issue. More awkward trying to find distance from a conversation happening right next to me. Hard to turn away. I knocked off 1 star here, as I got a great pedicure and will consider this when I seek out another pedicure.

I did not feel welcomed here and the remainder of my experience reinforced that. While the pedicure process was fine, the technician cut my big nail in such a way that i've been dealing with an ingrown nail for weeks. This seems like a rookie move for a manicurist. The dryers were way too hot without a way to adjust them. I tipped the technician well, and there was no acknowledgement or thank you. No one said goodbye even after I said so. The usual pleasantries being absent was surprising; if they were quiet, or even rude and did a satisfactory job that would be one thing BUT the manicure and pedicure began chipping and wearing out by the next day, and my nails have been peeling ever since! I definitely will not be back.

As you can see in the photos, the salon is beautiful. I asked the owner and she said they've been open 2 years in that location (so I was surprised they weren't on Yelp!). I went in for a dip manicure (which is hard to find around here, WHY!?). I didn't have an appointment. They quoted me a 20 minute wait, which was fine, and I sat in a pedicure chair while I waited so I got a little back massage! A few things: 1 - The colors were organized so nicely on the wall but were really limited. It wasn't until I was looking for 5+ minutes when the woman working told me there was a book with more colors. 2 - This was the fastest dip manicure I've ever had in my life. It wasn't a bad thing. In fact, I don't enjoy sitting at salons forever waiting for my nails to be done. But the shaping of the nails is a bit funky, they look like bubbles, and it's thick. She clearly rushed through getting them done. They look fine though, overall. But if they were trying to close or just couldn't take me, I would've found another place to go to. 3 - The cost was $50. I did not get lotion or a massage or anything. It was a no frills service, which again, was fine for me this time around. But I don't think I found **my place** yet.

I purchased the regular manicure and pedicure with massage and scrub. There weren't many regular polishes to choose from and I ended up swapping a few out. I eventually ended up with two nice shades of red for Valentine's Day with the help of my nail tech. The location is near the Irving Park brown line and had a welcoming aura. I loved the color scheme of emerald green and gold. The salon was clean and neat. They also provide you with a loyalty punch card, which I love. Julie is an excellent tech and we had a great conversation while watching and listening to Singles Inferno that was playing on the TV. She was detail-oriented with both my manicure and pedicure and also answered my questions about the other services like eyelash extensions that the salon provides. I'm looking forward to my next appointment for a gel manicure. I highly recommend having Julie as your nail tech and visiting Emerald Beauty Studio!

I got my nails done twice by two different nail artists and both were amazing and I was really satisfied with the result.

I've had some bad experiences with removals elsewhere so I was really happy to learn about this place. I will definitely be going back many times!
