Fashion Nails

Not a fan. Prob won’t be back. My no chip manicure was rotated and done by 3 different people. At one point the lady doing my manicure stopped mid cuticle clipping and randomly started working on another customer. I had to loudly call out to be helped because I had made an appointment and wAs on my lunchbreak. A nice gentleman ended up finishing up but I had to prompt him to redo a hand of cuticle clipping because it wAs done so poorly by the First Lady.
Whole time he kept repeating what a good color choice I made for my polish. Ok but polish will still look bad if the nails aren’t cleaned properly. Ugh!
Final straw was the last lady who did the no chip polish looked at my brows and asked if I wanted them done. Ummmm no thank you. I prefer mine thick and done on my own terms. But how rude of her kinda sorta implying I needed them done even though she was trying to get as much $$ out of me as possible. This is not nice either.
My nails look good at the end of the day but the overall experience was über stressful.

I stopped in this place on my lunch break to get a nail repair and was told to put my name on the waiting list. I had no problem with this until 3 other guest arrived after me and were waited on before me. Apparently 2 of them had an appointment. So I approached the receptionist after waiting 20 mins and she informed me it would be an additional 10 min wait. The receptionist originally informed me that it would be a 10 min wait in the beginning as well.
So all in all horrible customer service and I will NOT return or patronize this establishment.

I enjoyed my experience at Fashion Nails. I worked with Mary, who was very sweet. She did accidentally cut one of my cuticles too short, but she immediately apologized and fixed it. Despite that, Mary constantly checked on me to make sure I was okay. My feet and nails look great. I will go back again, and see if I can make Mary my main tech.

I used to come here quite a bit when I lived in Chicago. Not sure what happened but the woman who did my nails was pretty rough. She clipped my cuticles/​nail beds so roughly one of the them actually began to bleed. She didn’t acknowledge this aside from dabbing at the blood until it stopped. The no chip (gel) mani itself is sloppy. One of the nails is already peeling. It has literally been less than 6 hours.
Good for you to know – ultimately wanted a Vinylux rather than a gel, but they have a really limited selection of colors (i.e. 8 – 10) so went with the gels.
Don’t waste your money.

I haven’t been here in a long time, mainly because it always sucked when I used to come here, but today I foolishly stopped in since I was nearby and had my hands full and didn’t want to walk to my preferred salon. Bad idea. I got one of the sloppiest no chips I’ve ever had. I have short nails, and you can see the clear coat all along the edges. Normally, other salons clean up the edges. Also, parts of my nails aren’t even painted. At one point, almost ¼ of one of my nails wasn’t painted. I had to point it out to him to fix. Not only that, but the manicure he did before he painted sucked. I still have dead skin that should have been cleaned up, and there is white nail dust all around the edges because he didnt have me wash my hands before he painted. He kept asking if I liked it and I just ignored him. My nails basically look like shit. I should have known better by the fact I walked right in mid day on a busy shopping Saturday with no wait. Definitely go somewhere else.

I have been hear twice and both times I regretted it. Once for an eyebrow wax and once for a mani.
The employees insult you and push extra services hard. Both times I have had the women ask me if I want my mustache waxed, and then said ‘oh ok’ with raised eyebrows when I said no thanks. (I honestly don’t have anything there to wax, not even slightly longer blond hair). During the manicure the women asked if I wanted a scrub and I asked if it was extra and then she replied 6 dollars. She wouldn’t have mentioned the price increase without my question. She also added in $ 8 to take off my no chip and then implied I was cheap for not getting another no chip. She surely didn’t tell me she was adding a charge to take off my polish. They are shameless I trying to squeeze every ting they can out of you.
The eyebrow wax felt choppy and was uneven and unfinished.
The manicure chipped by the end of the night.
Rude, crappy job, not even a good deal. Skip it.

I was in Chicago for an event and didn’t have time to get my mani/​pedi before I left home. My friends found this place and I met up with them there. The manager and his staff were very nice and efficient. Watch out for the upsell on all services! I had a spa pedicure, an orange salt scrub on both hands and feet and a manicure with a gel polish French manicure. All for only $ 80…insert sarcasm… They did good work, and it looked good for 3 days, but by Monday nails are all chipping. For $ 80, I would expect a better wear. I’d go back and give them a second chance with a redo, but it’s a little far from California.

Absolutely the worst nail salon I have ever been to in my life. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. First, the owner or manager, whatever he calls himself, harassed my friend at least 6 times about doing shellac nails instead of a regular pedicure. She did NOT want one and politely declined every single time, but he bothered her so much that we almost got up and left in the middle. Second, my nail «technician» cut a cuticle so deep that it bled for almost half an hour. And she didn’t even apologize! And dumped salt on it without even bothering to explain first what she was doing; needless to say, it burned!!! My friend didn’t even get a fan turned on to dry her nails, she had to do it herself. They were rude, barely spoke English, and were in such a rush to get us out (we were nowhere near closing time), I should have walked out without paying. DO NOT GO HERE. Worst salon in the entire city.

Probably the worst mani/​pedi I’ve ever had. They rushed through everything, was rude, and did a subpar job. Won’t be going back.

I went for a no chip manicure. While all the workers are very nice… this place sucks. I got my no chip on a Thursday, on Saturday my index finger nail no chip polish was completely off. On that next day, Sunday, my middle finger no chip polish was popping off. I went back on Monday for them to fix the polish. They fixed for free… It is now a week into my no chip manicure and my thumb polish and other index finger polish is chipping and coming off. Will never go back again. Also, this place is clustered with stuff and seemed very dirty. Will not be going back and won’t recommend to my co workers either… being that we work down the street.

I wish I’d seen the reviews before stopping in this place. I got a basic pedi. The color selection was good and the service was decent (they were pleasant despite language barriers). The problem came when the tech polished my nails. My big toes were bumpy and it was clear she used too much polish. I asked her to redo them but with the language barrier and/​or stubbornness she did not. Luckily, she dropped dried polish on them and had no choice. In her haste, she still used too much polish which rippled when it dried. By this time, I had to leave for an appt. and reluctantly agreed to return. I came back today and there was several minutes of confusion about me being there yesterday. They finally got it together and had me sit with a different tech. He did a much better job, except having to ask him to clean the sides of my toes. The kicker is when he used his nail to clean the clear polish then ran it aross my linen pants! I flipped! Luckily, it wasn’t enough to leave much of a visible stain after me scraping off a bit. They have the potential to be a decent place with better trained and more considerate techs.

Literally the worst! Paid $ 35 for a no chip mani and it chipped 3 days later! Absolutely horrible experience! My nails look like crap! I would advise people to go elsewhere because this place is no Bueno! And they were rude to people who were coming in! I understand there is sometimes a language barrier, but there is no reason that they should be rude to customers!

Zero rating would be more appropriate. Just awful. Quite a stressful experience to be honest. The male (manager I think) was rude, tried to bully me into having no chip, filed my nails so short they hurt, didn’t clean them and then layered on varnish so thick it rippled under the dryer.
The old lady that did my pedi seriously needs glasses. I had a nude color varnish and only after I left the salon I noticed she had missed half of my nails. She also cut my nails so short, hacked into the sides and dug out my cuticles so hard they bled and hurt. I’m just waiting for the infection to start when my nails grow back…

If I could give them no stars I would.
I asked for a cut down and fill in he began cutting without asking how much.
He left 4 times to do other jobs and would swat my hands away.
He would ask those people to go the ATM around the corner to go get him a tip and get mad when they refused.
At the end he asked my friend to pay for me because my (misshapened) nails were wet.
Horrible service. Horrible work.
Avoid at all costs.

I have been to this salon twice now and decided I will never be back. The first time, I received a pedicure, the technician actually caused my leg to bleed by scratching me so hard when she was «massaging» my legs. The second time, the nail Polish was messy, all over my feet and uneven. I do not recommend this place, no matter how convenient the location may be.

Worst no chip ever. Got it on Tuesday, it’s already chipped in less than 2 days. such a disappointment. Never again paid $ 45 for this …

Save your time and money and DONT GO to this place, awful nail technicians, really don’t know how to do the work, did a horrible job with my feet and hands, got 2 different ones and both were terrible

Did a pretty awful job on my gel tips. I asked for stiletto before he even started. He replied with a reassuring smile «don’t worry, i got you»…later on told me its $ 5 extra… ugh.
Quickly colored my nails with two coats and left me there. they just wanted me out of there. of course, the color smudged. i won’t come back.

I can’t remember the last time I left a one-​star review but this place was truly appalling. I’m honestly too upset to even finish writing this review but save yourself the time, money, and trouble and go elsewhere. Seriously. It’s outrageous.
I went in to have my no chip color removed. She PEELED and SCRAPED down my nail beds. This is NOT how you’re supposed to remove no chip nail polish, unless your goal is to completely destroy your nails.
I have a hard time believing these are qualified nail technicians.

I would recommend that you NOT go here. I was in Chicago on a business trip and this was close by my hotel. I really wanted to relax, so walked in. The place was dark and dingy. Not sure if they were very clean. Wasn’t a very relaxing experience.
Overall, they did fine and my mani and pedi even lasted more than week. The bad news was I got a serious infection in my finger about two weeks after and when I went to the doctor, they told me it was from having cut my nails. Being that I didn’t do anything to my own nails since getting my manicure here, I could only deduce I got that infection from Fashion Nails.
I’ve never gotten an infection before. I can’t be sure it was them, but it seems like a logical conclusion.
Save the risk. Spend a little more and ensure a hygienic experience.
