Magic Touch Nail Salon & Day Spa

I will never step foot in this place again. I came in for a non-​scheduled mani/​pedi because I was having a rough week and while at Target thought it would be nice to get my nails done. I walked in and everything was normal, they asked me to pick out nail polish. I then went over to the pedicure chair, and dipped my feet into scalding hot water. I told the woman doing my nails it was too hot, so she added some cold water to it. Then while cleaning my toes I was cut multiple times, and then I realized that she was just pulling her tools from jars and boxes and I did not think they were sanitized. When the woman went to put hot towels on my legs they also were so hot I kicked them off. My toes and legs were red and it definitely burned a bit. I had enough when she starting hitting the sides of my legs as a «massage» and I just yelled to please stop. Then when I was getting my nails done, I had to ask multiple times for her to even out my nails and also again realized the tools were just in a plastic container and did not look sanitized. I was horrified, and of course asking if they were sanitized I was given a «yes» answer. The UV light table to dry your nails was EXTREMELY DIRTY/​DUSTY. On top of all of that, one of my toes has been red and hurting and now I’m setting up an appointment to go see my doctor to make sure it’s not infected. Walking into this salon was the biggest mistake. And if I do have an infection you better believe I will be back to check their licenses and report this salon if not up to code.

Pretty disappointed. I made an appointment yesterday for today at 9am! The lady, I spoke to stated she’ll come in at 9am to accommodate me since it was my birthday. I wanted to get in early for a manicure and pedicure with my daughter. No one showed. I was there until 9:10 am. I did receive a call at 9:27 am saying she was there but she forgot the keys. REALLY? You said you were coming in early, how do you not have keys with you
I miss Lee! Lee was always on top of it. Going the extra mile for her clients and showing up when promised. Time to find a new nail shop!

My wife got her nails done and in two days one of her gel white tips fell off. The others are ready to fall off. Not enough time to have a fill in. What a waste of money. Think before going to this location too much $ for a couple of days.

I went in here was taken right away when the man started my nails their was a lady that kept coming by lerking at us he put the tips on ok and than after the gel he was shaving my nails for almost a hour and after i looked the gaps in my fingers fingers different sizes and white marks everywhere it was my birthday and i was so upset after i said something about it the guy went to hide in the back and i guess his mommy came to talk to me they had already charged me and this crazy lady wanted to fix them for me for 30 more dollars and than have the nerve to say to me i didn’t tip him i got a tip for him find a new career why would i pay more dont go here they are dirty and do a horrible job and while i was there 3 men walked in and went in the back room wonder whats going on back there that i didn’t get to see

Tina has been doing my nails for several years and I followed her to Magic Touch from Evanston. I often get pink & white gels (where the tip is white and the rest of the nail is pink) and they always look wonderful). I did switch to just getting pink fills this summer with gel polish and they always looked terrific and I never had a problem with chipping. They always looked nice and shiny. She also does a wonderful pedicure. The prices are incredibly reasonable. They do prefer if you tip in cash, but you can put it on your credit card.

I have been to different places, some more expensive than others and the quality was really not worth the price. My mom recommended I give them a try as she loved her pedicure and she is a very particular picky person to please. The lady did a great job she cleaned my toes so thoroughly I was very content. Very nice staff I will be coming back for my pedis.

I only have Tammy or Tina do my nail love these lady !!! Super friendly and they both do a great job. I have been going to Tammy got about 15 years. Would not go anywhere else!!!

I have been here to get my nails done 3 times. I usually give a couple chances to a new spot b4 I review them.
1^st visit was Ok. The young lady got my nails a nice shape, but she wasn’t welcoming at all. It actually seemed like she’d rather be doing nothing at all rather than doing my nails. And as soon as I got up to wash my hands (before she polishes them) she’s taken a new client. I then am moved to a different seat to wait for her to finish prepping her new client. She comes back to me after 10 – 12 mins of being with the other lady and polishes my nails in 4mins tops…
2^nd visit was worse than the first. I got an older woman who I’m assuming was new bc another worker kept peeking over her shoulder. I told the tech how I wanted my nails and how long I wanted them; she just couldn’t get it right. With each «correction» they got shorter and shorter. Not what I wanted. She would say «Ok, I got it» but never got it. I would tell her to file down a side and she would cut me off b4 I could even get my words out bc I guess she didn’t want anyone to hear me telling her it needed to be corrected. Left with hideous nails.
3^rd visit… I know I know. why go back if u had such bad experiences. This place is walking distance from my apartment and I really needed my nails done. I come in and I’m seated immediately. A young boy is directed by I’m assuming the owner/​his mother to come over and do my nails… I’m skeptical but, being the nice person I am I allow him to do his thing… Mistake. Every nail he put on my fingers were crooked. Like, laughably bad. So crooked It looked like I asked him to make it like that. Since it was immediately noticed I told him and he would try to hurry and remove it b4 the glue dried. I told him that I’ve changed my mind and I don’t want nails anymore. His mother/​owner came over and asked what the problem was, I told her that my nails where not being done correctly. She said she would do my service herself. I appreciated it, but my faith in this place quickly diminished. She asked what I wanted with a snobby tone (as if I couldn’t be pleased), I ignored the attitude and said «I really wanted my nails done, but seeing that I just had nails applied, then taken off, then reapplied, it would probably be best to just give them a break and get a mani.» She says: «if you get a mani & nails then you’re going to have to pay for it» … This threw me through a loop bc I never mentioned having my service comped or wanting it comped. I wanted to leave with no service done. But seeing that my nails were soaking in acetone I knew I needed a manicure. So that’s all I got & 1 clear coat polish. Never going back and now I can satisfactorily give this place the 1 star rating they deserve from me.

Very impressed. Looking for a salon open on a Sunday evening, remotely close to me and glad I found this place. I got right into a pedicure chair and was attended to. I dont recall the name of the guy that did my pedicure, but he was good. also I went to Rose afterwards for my no chip overlay. She was very friendly and meticulous. She did a great job, and the salon itself was very quiet and clean. I will definitely be back!

Love this place! Not only is there parking, but they are really nice and clean, it’s also a pretty salon :-) they do a great job! Lee is the best!

Fast but dirty. They do not clean instruments and salon workers do not even wash their hands or change towels in between customers. There are used pedicure foam toe separators all over the place. Had my face waxed and have a bumpy rash the day after!

I love Magic Touch. Tammy (the owner) is my go-​to lady. I get the French gel with pink and white which is beautiful. I get tons of compliments on my nails and they look good three weeks out at times.
I don’t always have time to get in for a fill but they still look great. The salon is clean; all of the people working there do a great job and are very, very friendly. If you are looking for a wonderful experience head to Magic Touch and get the royal treatment.

I love this place! Very clean, priced right and always very friendly. I’m a man and have a long nail fetish and go in to get long gel nails. The longer the better. There is never any judgment and Lee is very encouraging. Her work is is very diligent and professional and being gel they last a very long time.

How utterly disappointing. I came in to the salon in the hopes of getting a pedicure and was told, quite plainly, that I wouldn’t fit in the chair. Now I acknowledge that I’m a plus sized woman, but in all my years of getting pedicures done I have NEVER been turned away because of my size.
Never coming back. If I could leave no stars I would… but we know Unilocal would never allow that.

I was in this place yesterday for a manicure. The place was packed, but I did not mind waiting. I did prepay for myself and a friend to both get manicures, and after I seen how dirty the work stations are I really wish that I hadn’t. There were 2 bowls of dirty water leftover from someone else’s manicure at the station I was at and the guy who did my manicure wanted to use the same tools I watched him use on everyone else, without cleaning them/​sanitizing them. There were cuticle clippings on the table that he swept on the floor with the towel that you are supposed to rest your hands on. I refused the use of the tools, and just paid him 12 dollars to paint my nails, which is the price of the manicure, which the topcoat has already started to peel. I have never given a review before, but was so appalled by the lack of cleanliness here that I created an account just to write a review.
Please bring your own tools if you wish to get a manicure/​pedicure here. I did not see any heat or liquid Sani stations that I normally see in other salons. They use the same tools on different people without cleaning them. The woman’s bathroom also had no soap or toilet paper. I will never go back to this place.

Have gotten very decent manicure and pedicure here. Had a full facial and it was so relaxing, staff is very nice and friendly. Good place to come to compared to other places I have been. Convenient parking plus as a bonus I can shop at target, Sally’ dollar tree, Carter’s, game stop or famous footwear!

I just decided to get gel nails because I have a hard time keeping mine long, so I went with Tammie, and she did a great job! And made me feel comfortable, she was very talkative and we had a very interesting conversation! Unlike other nail salons where u just sit there, quiet, the whole entire time. Everything is clean, great prices, and I can’t speak for the others’ work but Tammie was great, she’s actually the owner of the salon. I highly recommend it! See for urself, I posted a pic ;-)

I’ve visited this place about 7 times for manicures and pedicures. While the owner does a nice job, some of the other women are not so good. Also, I got my eyebrows waxed yesterday, and she did an unforgivable job. I had to pluck my eyebrows when I got home as she missed most of the hairs. I will say that their service is usually good unless they’re super busy in which case you will certainly feel rushed and a little less pampered.

Took my mom and sister there to get quick mani/​pedis and waxes for my brother’s wedding this weekend and short on time.
Not only did they do a great job on all three, they took care of my mom, who had never gotten a mani/​pedi before. She always finds a reason to complain and nothing this time — I’m impressed more than usual. Even more, when we ran to Target and she messed up her toe, they didn’t just paint in the crack after they closed to get us out, but took off the polish, repainted and added another color coat and top coat to all.
I’ve never had bad service or gotten any fungal things, just great, polite service with a smile.

I was lured in for a $ 10 manicure. I can barely type this review, because my fingers are all completely bandaged at the moment. The lady who did my manicure started clipping and cutting away at my cuticles so darn fast that she cut my fingers in three places! I’m not talking a little nick here and there, these are serious cuts that require neosporin and bandages! She should have given me $ 10, because I had to go to Target afterward for bandaids.
*UPDATE: The owner of the nail salon has issued me a full refund .*
