Mini Nails is my favorite nail salon in Lakeview! The staff is so amazing and friendly. The prices are great, especially for the quality of service. I also appreciate that a mani/pedi doesn't take half the day... it's a little over an hour. Mini nails is seriously an underrated gem & I can't say enough good things! read more

One of the best manicures I've ever gotten! Service was fantastic and very quick - I got a no-chip mani and a pedicure for under $80 (a steal in the city in my opinion) and loved every second. The inside of the salon has a very cute feeling with a TON of options for nails, regular, gel, dip, acrylic, nail art, etc. Highly recommend going here - booking was a breeze and everyone was lovely! This will definitely be my new go-to place read more

So happy with how my fresh acrylic set with gel and French tip turned out! Hao did such a thoughtful job and was great to chat with. All around it came out to be $60 which is pretty affordable. My nails look just like the reference pic! read more

Mini nails is a family owned business, and that's evident from the service. Everyone is so incredibly efficient and friendly. My nails look incredible, and was only $65 for a dip removal + French tip + dip. Super affordable especially for the city. The vibe inside is great, the staff is amazing, and I'll definitely be coming back. (-: read more

Came here for the first time today as I was looking for a nail salon in my area that would do acrylics with gel on top. I called Mini's the day before hoping for availability on a Saturday morning and they were able to fit me in! The shop is small but warm inside. Mindy took care of my manicure and was so friendly and funny! I felt very relaxed here with the soft music and quick and efficient services. I also got a no chip pedicure which turned out awesome! This place is following Covid-19 procedures and offers very affordable prices in comparison with other salons in the area. I'll definitely be coming back :) read more

I've never had acrylics but my friend recommended this place to me and omgggg it was so good!!

I went to a couple different places before finding Mini Nails in Chicago. On the outside you may walk past it but the inside will change your opinion fully. The staff is so friendly and do an AMAZING job. Every time I leave I'm impressed with how good my nails look as other places have just not compared. One of the best parts - when you pay with cash, they keep track of that and you can get discounts. Who doesn't love a discount on a mani/pedi for just going?? I get a standard man/pedi and it's such a good price too. I've recommended Mini Nails to multiple people in the Chicago and they have all felt the same way. 10/10 read more

I'm bad at leaving reviews but I absolutely had to for Mindy! She was so so sweet and was able to schedule me in, as busy as those ladies are. I was between Mini nails and a few other shops around the area but I'm so happy I came here! I will definitely be returning because of the amazing service I got today. Thank you Mindy! *Please keep in mind when you come here, I believe there's only two ladies working and they're trying their absolute best to make everyone happy so please be kind and patient with them and they will take good care of you :) read more

Vitus Nail Salon - My fill with no chip. Mindy does an amazing job. - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here due to a recommendation from a good friend . Lee welcomes me in right away and picked a color for my feet and nails. Getting a pedicure here is simply amazing due to the massage you get on your feet. I would come here just for that tbh. Everyone that walked in was disappointed that Lee was working on me as she is the gem here. I also got a set of acrylic nails which she worked quickly but not too rushed where other places fail and make a lot of mistakes. She kept the conversation pleasant and cleaned up my cuticles a bit. Most nail salons will not do that with a full set, only a manicure. I will come back soon to get a fill in so my nails look fresh this summer. read more

Do yourself and your nails a favor. GO HERE. I usually get a no-chip manicure and they literally last a month. they would grow completely out if i wanted. I typically try to go in before that point... but let's be real - doesn't always happen. I tell all my girlfriends to go here as well. The staff is super friendly and they make sure they take their time and your nails look great, but they are fast in doing so. I go more often for manicures than I do pedis, but i know they have a mani+pedi deal on one of the days. I THINK its wednesday - not sure. read more

I've been going to mini nails for over 15 years and can't say enough about how much I think of their great service and friendly environment. They take their time with you to make sure your mani/pedi will last. I do the dip and it stays until my nails grow out weeks later. Get an appt as they are often booked up. read more

Great service and the best acrylic nails in the city! I'm super picky with getting a natural shape and Mini Nails delivers every time! I've been a loyal costumer for three years now. Pricing is fair- $70 for full acrylic set with no-chip and a regular pedicure They're quick and accommodating with busy schedules! Mini nails offers a WIDE variety of colors (regular and no-chip) read more

I've been getting my nails done here for the last month or so. The staff is really kind and it's BYOB. They don't open on time though, so it's worthwhile to call and make an appointment if you need service right at opening. I've gotten the dip powder nails (with no added tips for length) and they hold up so well. read more

Lisa came to the acrylic nail rescue! I had broken two nails and she brought them back to life with no problem.

I love this salon have been coming here for years. The previous poster named Vicki was extremely aggressive towards these hard working women! I witnessed it first hand. You can't just walk into one of the best salons in the city and demand service like that. She was asking us to give up our appointment that we made a week in advance to let her go ahead of us! Who raised you?? So so rude. read more

I left with a cut and irritated cuticle. I wouldn't be too upset, even though it still hurts now, if she hadn't said "you came in with your toe already like that". I was left in shock and disbelief when she tired to place blame onto me for her poor job. Then she continued to buff, scrub and spray my cut down with alcohols, as I squirm in discomfort, without so much as a "sorry for cutting you". I'm totally bummed because I went in hoping for a relaxing pedi, but am left treating my toe with antibiotic ointment. read more

The first week I moved here, I saw this place next door so I thought I'd give it a try. Now, this is the only place I go! It's small but in the all the best ways! I always run into the same people & see the same workers. Everyone is friendly & great! I've had every single person do either a mani and/or pedi & I can't complain about any one of them. read more

THEY NEED TO MAKE IT CLEAR THEY ARE APPOINTMENT ONLY! The lady just yelled at me for not having an appointment. I showed up before 10am. They open at 10am. The nail tech did not get here until FIFTEEN minutes after. Right before she showed up another customer came after me. She had an appointment for a mani pedi with her sister who was not there yet. We walk in and I ask her to do two quick repairs on my nails. She told me she could not because she had an appointment. She is the only one here with two pedicures soaking. How she plans to do two at once I have no clue. You would this a place that takes its appointments so seriously would have had two techs come to work on time. She spent the first 15 min after being late doing all her prep work making towels etc. This place is so unprofessional. They were 15 min late to open. Rude staff. Unprepared for their appointment. The floors walls and tables are filthy. Too many better options around. Taking my business elsewhere. Oh and the phone won't stop ringing....no one to answer it though. It is not past ten thirty and still only one tech here. Working on one pedicure while the second just sits there. What a joke of a business. And as this nail tech said APPOINTMENT ONLY. read more

This is an updated review for several reasons. Since I reviewed last time I've switched to no-chip, and they're just as good w/ that as they are acrylic. I honestly am struggling to find another salon that does no-chip as well and that lasts as long as theirs. I'm also writing because this salon is now across town from me and I can't go as often as I'd like and though I can't support them much anymore, I think other people should be going here because they're great. No-chip, acrylic, pedicure, you name it, they're great! read more

If you need to get your nails done, come here, period. I have been coming for years, never disappointed. It does get busy, so I would recommend calling ahead. read more

I was fortunate to book an appointment same-day for my daughter and I to get a no-chip mani and pedi. It was awesome to be received so quickly at our scheduled time as opposed to having to wait for them to finish with other people like other places I have been to. My daughter and were happy with our service and will be making appointments again soon! read more

I moved to Lakeview a few years ago and it took a while for me to find a nail salon that is consistently good! Mini Nails is it! I love that they make - and honor - appointments. I do not have to wait for service and my nails always look amazing. read more

What happpened to this place. I dont think i have ever in my life had a worse job done on my nails and ive done the same shape/length for years. I came in for a full set longer coffin shaped. Even gave a picture of exanple as to how i wanted them shaped. Asked women if she was absolutely SURE she could do it she said yes TWICE. Nope. I get short fat ugly uneven lop sided SQUARE nails. Before the acrylic was even brought out i said i did not like the shape at all and it was even close to what i asked for. She tried again with the file but there was no way she could fix this with a file. I sat there visably upset the next two hours,oh yeah, one full set took her TWO HOURS. She didnt once ask me if i wanted to change it. I posted pictures of what i showed her i wanted and what i actually got. Not sure what kind of crazy she is to lie and say you can do something you cant and then charge $60 effing dollars and let custkmer walk out almost in tears. This place has stolen my money for the last time. DO NOT GO HERE FOR FULL SETS!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE SHAPERS AND GIVE YOU BULKY UNEVEN BASIC NAILS! read more

Found Mini Nails on Google, right down the street from our hotel. They were able to get us both in for manicures right away. Mindy noticed I had a chip in my thumb nail so she put extra nail strengthener and a powder to strengthen it. The service was great, friendly and inexpensive. read more

I am not a mani/pedi person, I just don't have it on me. It's just a luxury that I really don't feel is necessary - so when I ended up getting invited to a Gala and my nails needed to look better than the craptastic job I do on my own, I went to Mini Nail based on a recommendation from a friend. It was clean and the women were super sweet. They were incredibly thorough and I literally left feeling like I had someone else's hands and feet (but in a good way). The salon was clean and the price was decent. Next time I have a major event I'll be back. read more

Great service and the wax too! They even oil your toes to put in your boots so your pedi stays. They even put my boots on for me. I don't go anywhere else, and they are much cheaper than the other salons on Broadway. Street parking. read more

When I worked near this place I used to frequent it! I have always had great results. The women are really thorough, and get your cuticles cut down so well. Even after the polish chips I can just repaint my nails because they are still in really good condition. The pedicures are the same way and I have not had a bad experience there. Every time I go I notice a lot of other "regulars" which I always think is a good sign! read more

Saw a sign in the window advertising $32 for a mani/pedi Monday-Wednesday, so decided to walk in. Didn't have an appointment, but only a short wait. It seems that some other reviewers have had bad experiences, but I found the staff perfectly friendly. Everything seemed clean. They have a great color selection (especially Essie and OPI), which I was happy with. I was in yesterday and my nails look great! I'm still seeing dry, dead skin on my heels, though - which is why I'm giving them four stars instead of five. I could see myself going back in the future if I just want a manicure - the price is right and they were able to do my nails quickly without being sloppy. read more

great experience every time I visit! Family oriented, friendly, and professional. Always happy with my manis and pedis!!!

So I read yelp, but now that I'm back to being single and every dollar counts I'm writing to help girls out!!! I went here cause I pass it on my way to tan, so today I stopped in it a mani/pedi and I WILL go back. It was relaxing and the best place I've been in a LONG time. She didn't rush and took care of me as if I was her most important client of the day. They were busy and I was pleased she didn't rush at all!!! read more

Overall it used to be OK place to go. My recent 2 visits were bad and complete disaster. I normally go with younger personnel there. Yesterday it was old lady who not only injured me with power drill ( she attempted to remove no chip pedicure this way), she also poorly executed manicures. She was continuously dropping items during the whole session. She washed fallen on the floor instrument in the same water my foot was in. She was rushing as i never see before. As result poorly cut cuticles including made my hand bleeding and powder manicure looks less than satisfying. Had to correct bugs at home. After-sum: two bleeding wounds, spoiled mood. Conclusion: stay away from old ladies if you decide to go there read more

This place is horrible. I went in told the owner I wanted a no chip mani and pedi. Sat down to look at colors only for her to wait 15 MINUTES to tell me they are too busy to take me. Why didn't she tell me before I sat down to look at colors and wait. read more
