Cateye
Krupa S.

By far the best nail salon in the city. Unbeatable prices, amazing staff, and what an amazing eye for detail. Joanne did my nails and killed them, you can show them pictures and they'll execute them perfectly. 10/10 would recommend and I'll definitely be back!

Regular manicure
Taleah T.

Katie did a great job on my nails. I got a regular manicure and regular pedicure for $60 and then I added 20% for tip. I was looking for a place in China Town to get my nails done and Yelp never steers me wrong. They do all types of nail services. There were two long time customers I chatted with. They were getting builder gel and the gel nails with chrome. Both sets were beautiful. I came right at 11a when they opened so the vibe was very chill. I would highly recommend this spot.

I hate to share my lil secret, because it's sooooo hard to find a decent nail shop in the area...check my previous reviews. This place, I absolutely love and I've been a patron for a few months now. It is on the second floor in the mini Mall in Chinatown and has been open for less than a year. It's really small so very easy to miss. I've lived in the area and frequents Chinatown often over the course of maybe 10years and the first nail place that I've ever seen in the area. Yan is my preference tech for my usual Volcano with CBD (mint or lavender) pedi and my no chip mani. She is soooo relaxing and throughout and thorough. The only guy who works there in which I cannot remember his name, is extremely personable, he remembers your name, your tech and your services. While I have only tried Yan for service, I should probably allow another tech a chance. I had my brows done by a tech that was the best!! I typically don't get my brows done as I tend to like them thick and more so "cleaned up"...she nailed it. I will say that this place is in a fortunate spot. Lots of tourists and people who want a quick service. They take an additional 5% off when you pay cash, but cards are always welcomed.

Coffin shaped French tips

I got my nails done after 2-3 years at uWu Nails and I had a good experience for the most part! My nail tech was Emily and she did a great job at explaining things, reassuring me throughout the process and making sure I liked my nails as we go! The only thing was that towards the end, she rushed things a bit. Also, while filing my nails, the dust was getting everywhere which I didn't like esp with no mask on. Def would go back :) Got the No chip Acrylic $85 + $20 for polish. It ended up being $100 which I didn't mind paying.

I love my nails. Relaxing. Friendly nail techs. My hands look beautiful after I leave. I like that I can make appointments online super easy.

Pedicure
Tessa H.

Such a fantastic experience. We went for pedicures before our beach trip and they were so helpful and nice. Great service and my pedicure even lasted through the sand. I have found my new nail salon

the same green cat eye nails after 4 weeks

I had a no chip manicure here, service was fast and professional, my nails look amazing and have lasted 4 weeks with no chipping or lifting. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend, I will be coming back.

Nails by Joann

This place is legit! Can't say enough nice things about UwU_Nails. The owner saw me rocking a fun manicure at work once. He smiled, gave me a business card and invited me to check their place out. So glad I did! My technician, Joann was a confident, playful perfectionist. She was willing to try a new technique she hadn't done before and changed one of the nail designs mid application when she had a better idea than I did. They've made me a convert.

Funny bunny, white pearl chrome, and almond shaped tips by Ella
Francesca I.

What I asked for vs what I got! Funny bunny with white pearl chrome and almond shaped tips. Safe to say that Ella at UWU nails delivered exactly what I asked for! she took the time to shape my nails exactly how I wanted and to make sure the chrome was what I envisioned. I came here with my boyfriend after we booked an appointment online 2 days ago for full set dip and pedicure. They got started on us right on time and only took 1 hour 15 min for my dip full set with chrome! Friendly staff and great playlist.

I was looking for a place in Chicago that could do more complex, Asian style nail art and found Uwu Nails after some searching. The salon is conveniently located in Chinatown so I quickly made an appointment (also very easy to do as you can book directly from Instagram) to check it out. I brought with me a couple of nail art designs that served as inspiration for my own look. My nail tech (Ting Ting) was able to replicate the designs very well and was patient with me when I requested to add additional details here and there. The staff were nice and attentive and the salon itself was clean and cute (the salon is located upstairs in the Chinatown plaza area near Joy Yee's, look for the sign!). Overall, I had a great experience at Uwu Nails and I can't wait to come back to refresh my nails with new designs!

Very friendly and accommodating. I don't do polish, but my cuticles were great! And, my hands were so soft when done.

Will be back again soon :) Not to mention the gentleman who works at the front desk was not only friendly over the phone but in person as well.
