Jimmy Nails & Spa

I met a friend here for manicures — there was no wait. I got a gel manicure for $ 30 — the paint job was just so-​so because there are gaps on the sides of my nails where they are not painted. The manicure was very fast, so that may be a plus for you if you’re in a hurry. The customer service was average — the employees are quiet, brisk, and businesslike — I prefer a friendlier atmosphere so I will probably try a new place next time.

After seeing the reviews I really didn’t want to go here but I was desperate since my regular nail salon was closed & this is the closest salon to me.
I just needed a manicure. I like a natural round shape. She favored all the nails to one side so they are all crooked. The paint job must be a joke because bc she didn’t even cover the whole nail.
The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because the women doing my nails was extremely nice.
I will not come back here. Waste of money. I don’t know how they manage to stay open.

Very business like and cold. Good prices, good work but their customer service lacks immensely. The last appointment I had was very unpleasant. The woman was incredibly rough with my hands and rushed like crazy. She broke the skin a few times and yes, I did bleed a bit. Ive been getting manicures for years now and though things like that do happen, I could only chop this up to carelessness. She also asked for the money mid manicure while my hands were covered in dust. Didn’t even let me wash them first which is common practice. Between that and my sore fingers, I’m over it, completely. I’ve decided to go elsewhere, because the low cost isn’t worth the treatment.

My no-​chip manicure chipped after two days. I went back in to have it fixed and the same lady who gave me a bad experience the first time redid them. She filed off the polish instead of soaking them off and filed the shape down to a nub ruining the integrity of my nails and splitting one of them.

I have been here twice now for a no chip manicure and both times the service was great. The no chip manicure lasts very long– longer than two weeks !! My new go to place.

I’ve given this place a number of tries because it’s just about the only place in the neighborhood, and unfortunately they just can’t get it right. They are chronically under-​staffed and will usually mislead you about the wait time. Today was my last visit. I was in the middle of my mani-​pedi when five people came in. They only had three people working, and all three were occupied. The girl working on my nails immediately started rushing through my mani gobbing on heaps of polish and quickly covering it with a clear coat. Sorry but if you’ve ever gotten a manicure in your life, you probably know the «proper» way to do a manicure is to put on two layers of thin polish instead of one really thick one. After ten minutes in front of the fan, my nails still would not even come close to drying and no one was around to help me with my shoes or coat, so I did it myself. No surprise, by the time I got home ⁸⁄₁₀ nails were ruined. Lazy, cheap service. Here’s hoping another salon opens in the neighborhood soon.

I haven’t used their services yet, but they weren’t open during their advertised hours, causing me to waste $ 3 on parking… frustrating. Probably won’t go back.

I really wanted to get my nails done the week so I rushed here on a Sunday afternoon. I live near by and walked by it all the time. It looked like a pretty nice establishment and had pretty good reviews on Unilocal.
When I first walked it they said it would be about a 30 minute wait for a manicure so I ended up going home and coming back. When I returned, post-​wait, I changed my mind and decided to go for a no-​chip manicure and a pedicure. The woman who did my pedicure was really nice, the massage chair was nice, and the atmosphere of the whole place was really peaceful.
When it was time for my no-​chip manicure, the man who did them was amazing! It ended up taking a long time, but I had chosen a pretty light/​transparent color and he told me that he had to be extra careful when painting on the layers in order to keep it from not drying all the way (which would lead to it chipping). He took so much extra time to do my nails one by one, having to switch hands each time so the other could go for some time under the UV light. He even told me that if it chipped I could come back and they would do them over for free (because that’s the policy there I guess), but It’s been a week and they still look great.
Overall my experience was pretty great, especially the service that I got regarding the complicated process around my no-​chip manicure.
I’ll definitely be back!

I have gotten a gel manicure here twice.
The first time the girl left the acetone on my nails for a considerably long time. Then, she literally scraped off layers of my nails! When I looked down I was horrified! That was clearly not dead skin she was pushing back. Afterwards my nails felt grainy super thin and flimsy.
I always try places twice before I swear them off, so I went back for the same thing. The machine to cure the gel polish BURNED my fingers. It was so hot I couldn’t keep my hand under it. I have heard that this happens when they apply too much of the gel polish… which must be what happened because now I can see where the polish is uneven and globbed on.
I shouldn’t have gone back a second time.

As a few reviewers said before, my greeting left a little to be desired, but service after that was spot on. Another woman came from the back and made sure my chair was comfortable, turned my massager on and offered my a mini bottle of water. My esthetician was a really nice young college woman working on her summer break, so sadly I’m not sure she will be around much longer, but as for now I will be giving them another try!

OK, the sign for a $ 30 manicure and pedicure reeled me in. I got a $ 1.50 Mani/​pedi. The person who waited on me cut my toe with the cheese grater and didn’t tell me. I saw her put something on my foot but didn’t realize until I got home what happened. I’m diabetic, so I didn’t feel it and getting a cut is pretty crucial. The nail polish job looks like it was done by a first grader. When the top coat which was globby was put on the attendant left me with two fans for during no light, no spray to dry it. She just went on to the next person. Not even a good bye as I left.
I realize you want to offer a deal to get people in on slow days, but you may want to look at it as an opportunity to lure in long term customers. Dazzle them and they will come back. Worse experience I’ve ever had at a nail shop in Chicago.

FABULOUS! Walked in on a whim with a friend today. Immaculate and bright space. Great massage chairs for pedicures. I forgot a bike lock and they let me park my big old beach cruiser in the corner of the shop! Pedicure was affordable and well done. The icing on the cake? They gave me a free pair of flip flops to go home in. Brand new. She cut the tags off and handed them to me with a smile and told me not to ruin my nails by putting my flats back on again. Great service and a fun break in the day!

I don’t like to leave bad reviews, however when a customer walks into a nail shop, greet them with the assumption that they want their nails done. Treat them like you appreciate their business. Don’t shout rudely «can I help you?» From the back of the shop! Most importantly don’t leave me waiting for over 15 minutes without saying I’ll get to you soon. Thats how you get money to walk out the door!

I love Jimmy Nails. I have thought about going to other salons near me but they always seem to be closed. The girls always do a great job on my nails. Excellent prices too!

This was my first visit and I got a pedicure. Very relaxing, everyone seemed super nice and my toes look amazing! I’ll definitely be back and I’ll be trying the other services

The ladies that work here are super nice. A little upset about some things though… never seen anyone use the rotary buffer thing on toes. two of my toe nails broke randomly, I’m assuming because they were thinned down from it. Looks gross. Also, my first acrylic set, the acrylic part broke off the top of my nail, I had to run around the city trying to get it fixed before a meeting.
So, will try again, probably go with no chip & pedi. Love that its so close to my house and they’re open before 10 when most places do, but I’m not super happy about the nails breaking. Willing to give a few more chances though, they are really really nice. :)

I love this place!!! I love Tina. She is soooo sweet and always does an amazing job. I have gotten the no chip manicure and spa manis and pedis here, and I couldnt be happier with their service. I love the selection of colors, look of the salon and cleanliness. She also did my bfs first mani and pedi and he loooved it. She is really thorough and goes the extra mile. I will really miss this place when I move. But i will be back when i visit!!!

I love this place. $ 25 no-​chip on Monday and Tuesday’s. $ 30 on all other days $ 25 pedicures. They did a great job! They also have people magazines which I love :) affordable, convenient and good quality manicures! They have a TON of no-​chip colors to choose from. Highly recommended.

I am a guy who literally has had 2 manicures and pedicures in his life so this is an honest as it’s going to get review
I like this place. if I was to have one thing I wish was a bit different was that they took a bit more time on the hand and foot massage
other than that I felt relaxed, pampered, and well taken care of. massage chair was nice and never felt rushed out of there
will go back as it is two blocks from my place whenever my girlfriend goes!

Spacious, crisp and clean interior with good massage chair! The staff is very friendly and good at what they do! I was so pleased to go in and see that the staff I had known from the old Jimmy’s was still there and the place looked so good.
Everything was well stocked and I was so, so pleased to see that they were BYOB. Always fun!
All in all I will definitely recommend them and be back soon my self. Glad you are back!
