Amy’s Nail Gallery

My friend and I had called around on a Saturday and asked for 2 pedicure appointments and no one would take us. We called here and they said yes. They were busy in there but got us right into chairs. Their spa pedi is amazing and totally worth it. Everyone was really nice and friendly. Will definitely go back here. Sidenote: Bring cash for tip!

This place is great. I got a no chip mani which came with a nice back, hand/​arm massage. They also offer a punch card which I like.

My favorite nail salon for manicures… Sarah & Young do an awesome job. I request either of them every single time. Love this place!

I love this place. I’ve tried a few nail salons in the area and Amy’s is by far the best. Everyone is very nice and listens to your requests. You can make an appointment or walk in. I usually get Mindy’s Hot Chocolate before, then a mani+pedi.

Made an appointment for 7pm. I was running behind, but I walked in and had a color by 7:10. I was told that they were going to do my mani/​pedi at the same time. I thought that was odd considering the salon doesn’t close until 8, but stranger things have happened. Overall, the experience was subpar. The only thing that saved this experience is that my nails look decent– well painted and well shaped.
Pros
Paraffin wax
I came in on a day when they had a mani/​pedi special
Cons
They rushed the entire process; For a mani & pedi, I sat at down at 7:10 and I was drying my nails by 7:45
My feet weren’t scrubbed well so they are still a little rough
Didn’t get to relax or enjoy of the their perks, I also didn’t get the shoulder massage
Haven’t decided if I’d go back

If I could give zero stars I would. Called an hour in advance to see if they had availability to do three mani/​pedis, and when they said yes, I thought great. Good reviews on here, so why not? As soon as we arrived, things quickly went down hill. I felt so rushed into choosing colors. When I finally sat down, I ordered my cousin a «spa pedicure» so that she could enjoy herself as she’s 6 months pregnant and could use some extra TLC and a lil massage; why in the world did her pedicure take less time than mine??? And that’s pushing it, bc I feel like my pedicure took abt 20 min, tops! I get it, you want to get customers in and out, but when there’s absolutely no one else waiting, why the damn rush?! If I’m paying for this service, shouldn’t you be a lil more gentle with my feet? The chic man-​handled them so many times! She was so incredibly rough. And she took abt 10 seconds to cut cuticle, 10 seconds to rub a «pumice stone» and then I felt like it was all over as she was now painting my toes. Absolutely the worst pedicure ever; needless to say, none of us proceeded with getting our hands done as well. Complete waste of money.

The owners are incredibly nice and do a great job. The salon is well run and the staff is consistently professional. The price is reasonable and they have great massage chairs for pedicures. You can usually get in and out quickly. They go the extra mile with hot wraps around your neck in the winter and massages for all manicures.

I was so impressed with this salon. The techs are very friendly, use disposable nail kits so it’s über clean, and they take their time with each customer– very detailed. They also incorporated unique elements to the pedicure that I haven’t seen at any other salon (use limes and a special heel gel that soaks while they paint the nails) the no chip mani is fabulous and the paraffin wax is a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back!

My favorite nail place in Bucktown/​Wicker Park!
Included in the cost for a manicure: you get a paraffin wax, stone hand massage, short shoulder massage, hot towel, lotion and more!
The girls are always smiling and make sure they do a fantastic job:)

Love this place. They are nice and take call-​aheads. This works very nicely for my schedule and I always leave feeling relaxed and happy with the work on both my feet and my nails. This is my new spot after three successful visits!

Paraffin dip, shoulder massage, hot stone massage, and detailed.
For my mani and pedi. This is my new go to spot, they were very clean, kind and eager to help.
They go above and beyond, but still offer a great price. They gained a new loyal customer!

I really like this salon, I tried other but think their the best. They really pay attention to the details, I love the paraffin dip, hot stone and shoulder massage. I don’t usually get the no chip from them because whatever they do it last.

Ummm… I don’t do reviews lightly. I also don’t believe in hyperbole. But this place is fantastic. I live in the neighborhood and it’s not an exaggeration to say I walk past three other places to get my nails done here.
Pedicures are great. Regular manis last longer than any I’ve had done elsewhere. They do some sort of magic middle coat that I makes a regular mani last an entire week. Never before have I had a mani last more than five days.
Then I drank the no-​chip mani kool-​aid. And it’s worth it. On rare occasion when my no-​chip mani chipped, they eagerly fixed and made it right. (By the way, the I’m convinced my chip had something to do with my nail chemistry. No one else I know has ever had an issue with no-​chips.)
Great service. Great customer service. Go here.

the greatest of all time.
can i leave it at that? because that’s all i need to say about this place. phenomenal customer service (heated shoulder pads, no charge short shoulder massage, will take people in until the minute they close), awesome deals ($ 35 mani/​pedi mon-​wed), & great quality (self explanatory).
5 stars. you won’t understand until you go. so, go.

Walked out feeling like a pampered princess!
Nail salons are a lot like Taquerias; there’s one around every corner and you can always find a really cheap option, but said cheap option will leave a lingering fear that you might just get sick. Don’t cheap out; go to Amy’s Nail Gallery.
Sure it cost a few bucks more than my usual spot, but the attention to detail was so worth it. The ladies (yes, multiple ladies helping you jam your feet back into shoes, take out your keys, etc) are all lovely and so sweet.
I could clip, file and paint my nails myself for free, which is what a lot of other bargain nail salons do, but Amy’s goes the extra mile with hot paraffin dips, neck massages, and several other little niceties that are much appreciated!
Protip: Bring cash for tips. It’s not required, but much appreciated as posted by several signs =)

I went there with no appointment a half hour before the close.
They did mani and pedi for me and it was a well done job.
Very nice, polite and very good price as well.
A no chip manicure and a regular pedicure only $ 58.
Highly highly recommended.

Amazing place! I had a meni and pedi today for my vacation. I was so satisfied. My nails were neat and well polished. They were kind and friendly. Especially I love the paraffin and the hot stone. It was sooo nice!
I’ll be back! And It’s going to be the best nail place for me!

This used to be my place. Neighborhood go-​to for a mani/​pedi. Was a loyal customer for 2 years.
And then there was the time that the manicurist RIPPED off not one — but two — of my cuticles so drastically that there was blood. And she just kept on working. I asked her to stop and stood up to pay for my pedicure. The owner was there, I told him what happened. Did he take the mani off my bill? NOPE.
Needless to say, this is no longer my place. It’s over. The end.
I suggest walking the extra block to nearby ZaZaZoo instead. See ya there.

I’m sitting here getting a pedicure by Kim. I’m so disgusted by the number of times she has already nipped my toes that I figured I would vent here instead of at her.
I think its her first time doing one.
I came here because my reg was busy.
But Kim snipped my feet trying to snip nails and failed to remove any calluses or really do anything noram land significant to my feet.
Told her to cut short but all she did was nip the corners and file till it hurt
I didn’t even want to waste my time telling her.
She sanded heels for 20 seconds instead of using rasp and I left with the same cracks I came in with.
It had to be her first time and she was training on me.
Some of the other ladies may be alright but NEVER have Kim do your pedicure.

I convinced my boyfriend to get a pedicure with me earlier today and it was hilarious. He walked in and sheepishly asked if they get a lot of men in the salon (the answer was yes). His embarrassment only last a few minutes though, because he decided that massage chairs and foot massages really are quite nice, even for a man :). (While his feet were in the foot bath, he closed his eyes, leaned back into the massage chair, and muttered «this is awesome»).
I believe there is different pricing on weekdays versus weekends, but on a Saturday, a pedicure is $ 30! On the menu, there is a spa pedicure for $ 45 and a regular pedicure for $ 30, but the regular $ 30 pedicure included a foot soak, exfoliation, a massage AND paraffin wax. I was really impressed. The employees are very friendly and welcoming here– I will definitely be back!
The décor inside could be nicer, but for the value and the quality of service you get here, I would not recommend any other place.
