Stylish Nails

I love this place. Always where I go for my nails. Not fancy and smells strongly of chemicals, but it’s a part of the charm. They do a good job, especially for the price.

I have been going to this nail salon for the past 12 years and I think they do a really great job. I have seen the customer base change as the neighborhood has changed, which has been good as the customer base is more diverse. You will also find both men and women inside. It’s family owned. I have gone to Nancy, Amy and Stephanie and all are great. Highly recommend.

I came here out of need when I was feeling inpatient about getting a gel set removed. HUGE MISTAKE.
My nails were barely soaked and then ripped apart. The attachments she used on her electric file were WAY rougher than necessary. After getting that chop job done I didn’t trust her to do a no-​chip so I asked for a regular manicure. Again, poorly done. She didn’t even ask what shape I’d like. I came in with long rounded nails so I can’t imagine why she would assume I’d want short square ones. They turned out lumpy and uneven. The products used were all cheap and of terrible quality. There’s a terrible selection for normal polish.
I am always more than happy to look past «dumpy» surroundings if I’m getting good service but this place really lacks it all. NEVER RETURNING.

Does this place need a fresh coat of paint? Sure. But I didn’t come here for a photo shoot — I came to get my nails done and I’m glad that I did.
Albeit not robust with modern upgrades, the shop is very clean. The pedi chair gave a decent massage and the television was easy to view as I sat there.
And they’re fast. I got a mani pedi in and out the door in under 90 minutes, and it was perfect! Judy was very gentle and precise — I’m extremely happy and will be back again!

Steph rocks! The chairs rock! Great find — thank you Sari! I’ll be a regular for sure. I’ve called a head for an appt but there are walk ins — they are usually pretty busy do I would call ahead.
Only had pedicures so far but they are great!

Stopped going there… the prices may be good but you will be passed up for service even if you are sitting there. Once I was in a chair soaking and someone called saying they were coming in. They walked in and I was told it would be a while. Even after I was there for 20 minutes and waiting. I walked out. Another time i got sliced and couldnt walk for a week. They expected to be paid for cutting me up.

Great meticulous quality work for relatively low prices!!! Love not feeling rushed! I gotta come back for Mon-​Wed specials!

This is a sh*tty nail salon… like I’ve been spoiled my last couple of years. I saw this place awhile ago and was in desperation mode for a no chip mani & regular pedi on a time crunch.
$ 50 for both… yes, I said $ 50 for both! Can’t beat the price. They have a million no chip colors and brands. Regular polish colors are pretty bare and off label sh*tty polishes. They peeled off my old no chip and not in a good way. I had to tell the girl to stop and let it soak longer.
Lots of my nails were poorly filed… what do you expect for $ 50.
No chip chipped in 3 days. Pedicure is still kind of lasting…5 days ago. I got in and out in 1.5 hrs… so it was fast and cheap… but not very good. When I was leaving there was a whole mass of people swarming in and it smelled like Bob Marley… wow.
Overall, I’ll honestly try to avoid this place because I’d like to have my nails last longer and pay more than this cheap ass place… but in a pinch, I might end up back here…

Came here to get a gel fill in and was not satisfied with the service at all. The workers are rude and my nails were uneven. Never coming here again.

They were great enough to allow us to get our pedicures 15 minutes before closing time! Good service and plenty of gel choices.

I’ve been coming here for a while since they’ve opened. I stop going because now they do not treat all of their customers the same. They cater to the newly white clients and are rude to everyone else who has supported their business since they’ve opened. They lack customer service and customer appreciation when it comes to certain ethnicities. The owners (mother and father) and daughter Amy are rude and will argue with you especially if you are not white. The mom and dad do not know how to do pedicures. The mom will jack you up and get mad at you for not liking it. Although Amy does a good job on mani’s and pedi’s she sometimes lacks professionalism. Stephaine is awesome. She needs her own shop. This shop would not last without her.

I absolutely regret going to this place. Eventhough their prices are cheap, I still feel like I completely wasted my money. I went in for acrylic nails and an eyebrow wax. Their nail polish colors suck so much, a bunch of cheap generic brands, and a few extremely old and dried up Essie colors. The guy who did my nails was so rude. Not only did he nick and cut my fingers several times and didn’t apologize, he barked at me when I didn’t get up fast enough to wash my hands. And I don’t know what he was in such a rush for, but he did my nails so fast, most of them were filed crooked and now my nails look uneven and slanted. The eyebrow wax was much worse. The woman put the wax and strip so close to my eyes, I was worried she might wax my eyelashes. My eyebrows were definitely NOT on fleek once she finished, it looked like she didn’t do anything to them and they haven’t even been waxed.

Avoid! Extremely rude! I paid extra for a no chip manicure. I was told it would last at least two weeks, it started peeling in three days. It got really bad by day 5 and I went back to tell them that it wasn’t done properly. They called me a liar, yelled at me and gave me attitude. I was polite and they were rude to me. They lost a customer, that was loyal and tipped well. Terrible customer service.

Won’t be going back again.
I’ve tried several of the other nail salons around Ukrainian Village that I like much better, but this place accepts walk-​ins, so when I couldn’t get an appointment elsewhere I went here.
I recently went in for a no-​chip manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was mediocre. The no-​chip ended up being an entirely awful experience.
The technician went crazy (CRAZY!) scraping off my previous no-​chip polish, it was torture. She used a metal cuticle pusher, pressing down as hard as she possibly could on my nails and pushing back into the cuticles themselves. It hurt so bad, and one of my cuticles started bleeding because of it. Then she proceeded to use the cuticle clippers, and cut two of my other fingers, one so badly that it didn’t stop bleeding the entire time I was there. It hurt all afternoon.
Side note: I’m no stranger to getting manicures. Sometimes it hurts a bit, sometimes the tech cuts a little to much, etc… accidents happens. But this experience was on a whole other level. So painful.
So at that point I had three bloody and sore fingers that then got buffed and filed just as aggressively before being sprayed with alcohol. Ouch! Two fingers with smaller cuts stopped bleeding, but the one was still looking bad. However, that didn’t stop the technician from starting to apply the polish. She didn’t even attempt to stop the bleeding or clean it off the nail/​cuticle. Which was just lovely, because I ended up having one nail with a rim of blood around the cuticle UNDER THE POLISH! Not only did it look terrible, but it had only been a day and the no-​chip polish started to lift off where the blood was and then ultimately chipped off.
And then there is the space and the staff. The place is rough inside– really dated décor and kind of dingy. Which wouldn’t be a big issue for me if the quality of service was great. But it wasn’t. My tech was horrible, and the rest of the staff didn’t seem much better. Two of the ladies working were walking around the salon eating corn on the cob and chit chatting — completely unprofessional.
I would feel a little better about this whole experience if it was a super cheap, but it was $ 50 for the pedicure and no-​chip. Which isn’t really any cheaper than other better/​nicer/​cleaner/​gentler nail salons in the area. Don’t waste your money here.

I’ve been going to stylish nails here and there and mainly because it’s close by and quick. If I want to enjoy a more pampered mani or pedi I would go elsewhere. They do a pretty good job on pedicures and even no chips but their customer service sucks.
They NEVER EVER EVER smile, especially the 2 owners and their daughter. it drives me batty. Smile, JUST once! Show you’re thankful that I give you business!

Avoid this place at all costs!
I came here because my friend and I needed a place to get our nails done but everywhere was booked for the day. It was cheap, too, so why not?
There’s a pungent smell of acetone right when you walk in and it doesn’t look clean at all. There’s a wide variety of off-​brand polishes, none of which are very good colors.
My technician was rough with my hands and nails. He filed the sides of my nails until the coarse file was rubbing back and forth against my skin! He was quick and insanely careless. When he was done, I looked at my nails and four of the nails on my left hand were crooked! I told him they were crooked and he said that my nails are crooked. Are you kidding me? I could SEE the exposed nail. When I complained again, he filed the nail that you could see. After only five days, two of my acrylic nails broke off.
DO NOT COME HERE. Sure, it’s cheap, but the amount I’m going to have to spend to fix my nails does not make it worth it.

I decided to give this place a try since it’s very close to my work. I got the no chip manicure, I picked my color and everything seemed to be fine until she started applying the color, I noticed it wasn’t the right one and told her right away to which she responded «I know, but this color is better for you» ummmm I’m always open to suggestions but she didn’t even bother asking me. She just assumed and then she got mad because she had to remove it from the nail she had already done, anyway she was rude and don’t think I’ll be going back.

Had to teach one of the nail ladies how to do an ombré after my original lady told me she couldn’t and wouldn’t do it. I also got a pedicure and the lady started to put on my nail polish without any type of leg massage. When I asked her if she was going to do it she said she already did and if I wanted more I’d have to pay! Won’t be back!

My cheap manicures here have lasted longer than some no chips. This place has no frills but for the price you get an outstanding product. Once you leave you can’t tell if you got that mani/​pedi for $ 27 at this place or $ 97 at the spa downtown.

Stylish Nails does a perfectly adequate, no-​frills job at the cheapest price in town.
Décor is nonexistent, polish selection is unimpressive, English is minimal. After one overly enthusiastic pedicure resulted in bleeding cuticle, I don’t go there for pedis.
But they’ve been perfectly competent for manis thus far, and at $ 11, it really doesn’t get cheaper in Chicago.
