Nail Salons near River Forest

“New management! Highly recommend this place! My fiance came as a walk in and was serviced within 5 minutes despite not having an appointment. The workers are very caring, highly detailed and you will not be disappointed. Her nails were very beautiful and she goes to many nail salons. This is top 2 on her list! Prices are very fair for the services they provide. Check them out!!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been going to Nail Lounge for a long time and they do a fantastic job and everyone who works there is very friendly.“

“have been coming to Le Lam with my mom for a little over a year now and they haven’t failed me once! i’ve gotten my nails done by almost every nail tech they have, and i’ve been satisfied with the results every time. for the absolute best service (and flexibility!) please, please, PLEASE come to le lam! <3“

““I’ve been going to Allissa for 7-8 years, and I can honestly say she’s the best nail tech I’ve ever had! She’s super talented, pays attention to every detail, and always makes sure my nails come out exactly how I want them (if not better!). Not only is her work flawless and long-lasting, but she’s also so friendly and makes every appointment feel relaxing and fun. I always get compliments on my nails thanks to her. If you’re looking for someone who’s professional, creative, and truly cares about her clients, I 100% recommend Allissa!”“

“We visited here the day before Thanksgiving for the first time and we had a wonderful experience. The space is beautiful, very open, bright and clean. This was my nieces first time getting a manicure and also her birthday. The staff all came together to sing happy birthday to her and they gave her a birthday cupcake!! Anna was very nice making sure my niece was comfortable and was happy with the color selection she chose. The price point was very reasonable for a no chip manicure with hand massage. I will definitely be back to try out a pedicure and manicure for myself.“

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

“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.“

“Great shop located in the neighborhood of Westchester! All the nail techs are excellent(I’ve used them all) and I can go longer than the recommended 2 weeks, as I don’t always have the time to get back in. This photo I am posting is from a cruise I took last month! Sue did a great job with the “wave” look I wanted!“

“Linda was my nail tech and she did a builder gel fill in for me! I absolutely love it. It’s so pretty. And she did it app in one hour which was even more impressive. I’ve been coming here for the last few months and everyone here is so nice and will make sure you leave happy with your nails.“

“I've been coming to this salon semi-frequently over the past few months and I have always had a positive experience! Friendly staff, really clean, and great quality pedicures and gel manicures. The one thing I would change is sometimes the music is too loud and at times an odd or repetitive playlist. If they could play more relaxing songs or even just top hits that would make the experience even better!“

“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?“

“I love Fionna’s work ? she always does her best and takes good care of me and she’s so nice!“

“Update: May 2025
I have been cutting my hair with Liz for a few times now and just want to say she's a great stylist who gave me exactly the cut I requested from a picture I showed her on Pinterest. She is always happy, and makes you feel welcomed, we aIso have great conversations! I highly recommend this place, everyone needs to find their special stylist and this salon has plenty to choose from.

I wanted to wait to review this salon after a few visits. My mom and I wanted to find a new salon, so after reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. First visit, was a good experience. My mom requested a hair cut and color, which was provided by Marilu. As for myself just a trim and thinning out some volume nothing crazy and was done by Alma. Second visit, we requested the same services but a different stylist helped us, which was Elia. Not a good experience at all, she dyed my mom's hair the wrong color and had to attempt to correct it again and that also was the wrong color. She never asked my mom to choose a shade from the color catalogue to begin with, she chose a color herself. She never apologized either. As, for my hair cut she gave me, after cutting and thinning out my hair she didn't even clean me off with a brush or hair dryer my shirt was covered in hair and I had to attempt to do it myself in the trash can they have there. My hair started falling out more than usual after a cut, it felt like I didn't even get a hair cut. After that experience my mom didn't want to return at all, but I convinced her to see Alma the stylist that cut my hair on the first visit. She decided to let me dye her hair at home and we just got hair cuts from Alma. So, we went to see Alma the other day and it was a great experience, my mom was very happy with the results. It's a good salon , with great affordable prices.I'm glad we were able to find a great stylist like Alma.“

“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!“

“I cannot say enough good things about Mary! I walked in with a vague description of what I wanted and told her to just do what she felt needed to be done to get me there. She exceeded my expectations! She had the expertise to know how to work with my hair and get me to a final look that I love!

Mary is a great stylist and passionate about her work. If you’re looking for someone who will leave you feeling confident and fabulous, I’d definitely book with her!“

“The nail salon’s design is clean, fresh, and minimalistic, with just the right touches of luxury.?“

“Always spotless and professional, they deliver flawless nails every single time. Truly the best in the area! ?“

“I can't say enough great things about Shay! Her warm, friendly personality creates such a comfortable atmosphere. The whole experience feels like a little escape from the world. Great masculine pedi and mani.“

“Ana is amazing! She’s creative, friendly, and enthusiastic. I couldn’t recommend Mrs. Zs more. I love getting my nails done here.“

“I've taken my son to this salon since he was two years old. He doesn't like the clippers and they did a great job accommodating to him, and cut his hair with scissors. The price doesn't bother me because I'd honestly pay someone $30 for a haircut, but know that my son is being treated nice. The dilemma that I had was the lady cutting his hair was too busy talking that didn't pay attention to the indication of how my son wanted his hair cut. However, they are nice and friendly and super welcoming.“

“Came here for a pedicure for the first time and I will surely be back! Great service and a great pedicure!“

“My boyfriend and I made an appointment for deluxe pedicures and the service was AMAZING!! The staff is friendly, the spot is clean, I will definitely be coming back.“

“Love this place!! ❤️ Found my new spot for my nail services. This place is so relaxing & the owner makes you feel welcomed (even offers a glass of Wine). I went here for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, as my son friend (Mari) works here and of course he highly recommended her ? Mari did an amazing job on my pedicure and nails ? she took her time and made sure I was satisfied with her services ❤️. I love my nails ?. Fast Forward 3 weeks later and my nails are still looking great!! Mari is now my new nail tech and I'm looking forward to booking my next appointment with her for my fill in and pedicure. Thank you Glitter Nail Salon & Mari for a GREAT experience ✨️ ☺️“

“Evelia rocks! Always walk out feeling (and looking) the best!

My cut, color and highlights get me complements everywhere I go!

Thank you Evelia!“
