Best Nail Salons In Chicago

“You will never find a better, more precise manicure than Trinh’s! She is truly the best. She has helped me to grow my nails stronger and they literally look perfect when I leave my appointment — and the gel stays on for soo long. The space is incredibly clean and bright, she has a beautiful selection of colors, and I love the chats we have while she does my nails! I also love how easy it is to make and adjust appointments. As long as I live in the city I’ll be going to Nails by Pham for my nails.“

“I had my nail done here by Tia. She understood exactly what I wanted and checked in with me along the way to make sure I liked things which I am really appreciative of. It’s I was in love with my nails when I walked out!“

“i’ve been coming to salon de vogue for about a year now, and i absolutely love coming in every time!! the entire staff is so friendly and welcoming, and my nails always look AMAZING. i especially love michael, he’s the best!!!“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this spa! I visited with a small group of friends for a relaxing day together, and everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautifully designed.
The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit. My massage was amazing and my friends were equally happy with their services.
We also enjoyed a nice spread of appetizers and libations in the lounge area after our treatments, which was a great touch and made the experience feel even more special. It was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and treat ourselves. Highly recommend for group spa days, celebrations, or just a little self-care!“

“My nails were done by Gera, she painted some ghost nail art that I wanted for Halloween. I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on them since!“

“I’ve always had very brittle nails that I could not grow out because they were so prone to breaking. Then I heard about Russian manicures and decided to check out ArtMe nails.

At my first visit, Olga did an amazing job giving me a chrome mani that I got so many compliments on. She told me that the Russian manicures would strengthen my nails enough that I could grow them out without breaking. It’s been several months now and I have gorgeous long nails that look so feminine and pretty! And the Russian manis easily last me 3 weeks. Olga is the best and I highly recommend her!!!

Photos show my first mani with Olga to now where they’re long and beautiful“

“I have lived in the city for 3 years and this is one of the BEST nail salons. They do fabulous job and each nail technician is highly skilled!“

“Just came for the first time for a gel manicure and I will definitely be back! Clean pretty ambiance and you could tell they really take their time and it shows in the way my nails look now.“

“Love it ! Ruby did a nice job & took her time on my ingrown nail (: will be coming back I love her patience (:“

“Lauren gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve had in years! She was so gentle with my fine/fragile hair and absolutely nailed my inspo pics :) I highly recommend booking with her — she’s the best!“

“I absolutely love Sparkle Nail Salon! I’m a loyal client of Vivian, and she does an amazing job every time. The retention on my nails is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. I have gone over a month without a single chip on my nails! Vivian is so sweet and accommodating, making every visit a pleasure. Katana is also fantastic and does beautiful nail work. I highly recommend Sparkle Nail Salon!!“

“Long Overdue Review – Part 2!

I’ve always struggled with explaining what I want in hair color terms to a stylist. I don’t color my hair often—or even get haircuts that regularly. I don’t have much time for a big hair-care routine, so I need something quick and low-maintenance, but I still want that wow factor!

Liz totally gets me. She takes the time to really look at my inspo pics and breaks down what would actually work for my hair type and with my limited time. She just makes it make sense tells me what products would help give that extra ummmfff!!

Also, my hair grows like crazy after her cuts! I don’t know what kind of magic that is, but I love it. I’m happy, my hair looks amazing, and I feel great! What’s not to love?“

“6 months later and Glowout still holds such a sweet spot in my heart- I live in Atlanta; however, my wedding was last December in Chicago. I've been getting spray tans for close to 20 years and had to find a place for the perfect bronze glow to kick off the weekend. With the help of my local Atlanta Spray Studio my girls and I ended up with Jenn and her team! The ambiance of the studio alone is so charming and calming. The entire team we interacted with was so kind and thorough. We all still talk about the pain roller finishing touch :). 10/10 recommend for anyone in search of the best spray!“

“Fast but good, always worth it. Been enjoying the Dazzle Dry for super quick drying natural nails - no lights or polish scraping required!“

“I love this place so quick n quiet nice people stay open past closing for me to get me and my friend nails done“

“I'm glad I found this hidden Gem in Chicago.. They are the best and most professional, they take the time to details which is what I love the most .. All the girls are friendly and feels like a home. It's very clean and modern and makes you relax. Also, they offer coffee, latte water and European chocolates.. I've been before many e-file offered salons but they were rude or not clean. Here you feel loved and respected.. I wish for the owner success and she will be definitely better top business lady in the future! I will definitely recommend this place anyone needs love and quality service )“

“Loved this place and will be back! My nails are so cute and exactly what I was wanting. They are great at nail designs! They have regular polish, gel and builder gel. I got just the regular gel. It was a very welcoming environment and the prices are great. I love the nails, thank you!“

“Went today- vibe is super relaxing which for a pregnant woman is much needed. Had Mary. They do good work but I think there was a language barrier/or just not listening. She asked me a couple times if I wanted them shorter and I said no just shape them. I got the rubber base manicure which is not cheap and supposed to be for "medium length nails"per their site- which my nails were. But unfortunately I left with short nails in oval shape which don't look the same short as medium. It's unfortunate because the color and cleaning of nails is otherwise really nice. I would've been super happy should she have left my length.“

“Ola did my makeup multiple times and every time I was very happy with it and received multiple compliments on it. She is always one-time, always very professional and she listens to the customer. Her work is outstanding and she goes out of her way to accommodate customer requests. I will be back for sure!!!“

“walked in for a last minute fill in and tink got me in right away and did such a good job and was so friendly and helpful!!!! I'll definitely be back!!!“

“Relaxing, peaceful, and so clean! Gera's work was meticulous. Prices are affordable. Looking forward to returning!“

“Always an amazing experience!!! Such talented ladies im obsessed with my christmas nails!! Julia is amazing and everyone is so kind and welcoming“

“Sonia is great ! She does my lashes and my brows and I always leave looking AMAZING! She is the best!“

“I just wanted to say thank you MojoSpa for making my birthday party special! First of all, MojoSpa has the best products for self-care and I always loved coming to their nail spa before COVID (truly miss it!). When planning my 29th birthday, my friend and I had gone into MojoSpa looking for a product and we started to converse with George. When discussing about my birthday, he mentioned about the events they usually host for birthday parties, bachelorettes, group events, etc and how we can create our own serum, they provide multiple flavors of cotton candy, karaoke, and a DIY bracelet area. He gave us a tour around and I absolutely fell in love with it. It caught my friend’s attention as well too. I then reached out to him and he provided so much information and I booked it right away! You can bring your own food and it’s a BYOB too! I brought my ninja slushie and he and the owner were super excited about it while we were all excited about the cotton candy! My niece and nephew had an amazing time (which surprised us all that my nephew who’s a gamer enjoyed his time there and participated in a lot of activities!) We all had a fantastic time there and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They also had giveaways when also playing games as well as a contest of who took the best photo with the cotton candy and someone wins a gift! I’d highly recommend booking this place for your next event!“

“First Visit with Angie – Highly Recommend!

This was my first time working with Angie, and I am happy! I was looking for a new hairstylist and originally booked a 3pm appointment but called to ask about coming in earlier. She was super accommodating :)

From the moment I walked in, Angie was welcoming and professional while still being down-to-earth and easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable in her chair.

I didn’t bring any inspo photos because I wanted to talk through my hair goals. My hair is fine, curly, and prone to damage from over-processing. I told her I wanted something low maintenance with more volume, and she totally got it. We ended up doing a solid color and layers—and I love the result!

I’m usually not tied to any one stylist, but Angie made a great first impression. I’ll definitely be back!“
