Luv Nails

Best acrylic nails in the suburbs and my friends liked the no chip here. The prices are a little high for it to be regular for me. Otherwise I’ve always been happy with my services.

I will not be returning. Went in to get a manicure last minute before dinner. It was ok. I had to direct the guy doing my nails multiple times to clean cuticles he left behind and even wipe off the polish that was on my skin after he was «finished». The job was very rushed. I have had MANY manicures in my time and they always give you some kind of hand massage (some better some not as great), but this time no hand massage at all. I gave 2 stars because the place was clean and had decent color selection. Not sure if they are better with pedicures but from what I experienced, I would guess not.

Located by the train and a short walk from the town free parking structure. They are usually busy on Saturdays so I always make an appointment for my fill. I get a no chip fill and am always happy with how it turns out. It takes a little over a ½ hour and costs $ 35.

Absolute best experience I’ve had in a nail salon in years.
I walked in on a Tuesday mid afternoon hoping for a full set gel manicure and pedicure.
The gentlemen working that evening were unbelievably helpful, patient, accommodating, and above all friendly. Not hesitant to start a conversation with you and truly made me feel comfortable to be there.
Certainly not disappointed I made the 35 min commute from Chicago.

Went here to get a no chip mani with nail art for a wedding and it came out phenomenal. The lady working on me kept making sure she was doing everything right and was very meticulous. Most no chips start peeling off my nails in less than a week but it has been over a week and mine still look great! I would definitely recommend! The staff is also very nice and friendly!

Lagrange has yet to disappoint me with any business, this one included.
I needed a quick no-​chip and called same day (Friday) to make an appt. they had multiple slots open. Really? It’s usually impossible to get nails done on a Friday in the city. Maybe all the housewives in the area already got them done by 5pm. Anywho, I was 5 min late and the place only had 1 other customer. Lucky me. The place is really cute, clean and modern. It smelled great, not like concentrated acrylic like other shops.
They started me off with one young female technician and then after switched me off to some dude. If you’ve had your nails done, you know to not trust any dude. They usually aren’t as meticulous as us ladies. This guy proved me wrong. He was extra attentive and got every little cuticle out, buffing, clipping and painting everything the way it should be.
My gripe? The price. It’s $ 35 for no chip and they additionally charge to remove old polish. Ouch. $ 35 for a suburb? They have good service, I get it, but damn, is there inflation on nail polish? I would go back but I think I’ll paint my own nails in between sessions to save some $$$.

Had full set acrylics done here about two weeks ago. They did a very good job– exactly what I wanted and very clean. You can see the sanitization equipment which is always a good reassurance. Vary accommodating to what I wanted. Definitely suggest it!

My aunt, cousin and a friend all went in here for a girls mani pedi day. It was our second time in luv nails. This place is huge!!! And very clean! I liked that they have multiple people on hand so we were all taken in at the same time. They have 5 or 6 pedicure chairs and about the same number of manicure stations if not a few more.
The pedicure was awesome. They use this exfoliater on your feet and legs; which completely gets rid of all your dead skin. They finished off with this oil that I wasn’t too fond of, it made my feet way too oily and slippery.
The mani was pretty basic.
They have a decent selection of colors
The driers are amazing!!! I always manage to smudge mine. Not only are they the normal uv type but there’s also a fan too.
We’ll definitely be returning!

This is a wonderful nail salon in a very convenient location for me. I always go during the week (usually before 5pm). I haven’t ever had a wait during that time.
The staff is friendly and works fast. My manicures last the usual amount of time so that makes me happy. The salon is pretty clean. My only minor complaint is I feel like the color selection could be a bit bigger.

Got off the train and stopped to get a mani and pedi in the way back to the house. They had decent reviews so I stopped here over the other places nearby. No wait at 5pm.
Both mani and pedi were good. She took her time and did a good job. Did take about 90 min for both which was awhile. I watched House Hunters on TV. Chair was comfy but no thrills pedi.
They’re weird about tips for «accounting reasons». Want you to have cash and only then will they allow a separate transaction for a tip. Annoying. Who carries cash?
I asked if my nails were ready for shoes before I went home. She said yes but smudged my nails on the way home. Wish I would have walked home in those little sandals.
I’d go back again.

Hands-​down the best pedicure I’ve had in years. My toes looked fabulous for over three weeks. I had a no chip French manicure, which didn’t last long, but I’m hoping I just had bad luck on my first try. She spent a lot of time on my feet and did the best job ever!!!

I live on the Northside of Chicago but was in the area for a work function that evening. I had some time beforehand so I thought I would pop in for a manicure.
Facilties: very nice and it appears to be well kept. The tools also look to be clean/​well maintained also. No complaints here
Color selection: a wide variety of choices
Service: I only got a manicure so I can’t speak to their other services but I really thought it was going to be good given the amount of time and attention that was spent on my cuticles. However, the lady did a terrible job on the actual paint job and didn’t clean up the spots where she got on my skin. On some nails she left huge chunks of nail unpainted even. I also wasn’t aware that apparently there was such a thing as textured nail polish. Well there is… just so you’re aware so read the bottle. I guess this wasn’t their fault other than maybe telling me before she got half way done that my nails would look like painted sand if I picked that color. I’m not one to cause a fuss so I just kept it to myself… so that’s on me. But i will be removing the polish as soon as I get home. Finally something that REALLY bugs me is when someone will look at me and ask if I want something waxed when I didn’t ask for it. It makes me feel like a wookie and frankly is just rude. I understand it’s a sales tactic but still. When I decline once please don’t ask a second or third time.
Payment: if you don’t have cash know you’ll need to
put the tip on your card. I wasnt told that up front. .so avoid that awkwardness if you can.
Conclusion: I won’t go back again, nor when I’m in the area again. Sorry guys!

Amazing!!! Prices are fantastic and services were great :) definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new place.

After taking my fiancée out for a birthday lunch I wanted to surprise her by taking her to get her nails done. This place was great. It was really busy but they managed to get to her faster than I expected. I thought I was going to regret taking her here after seeing how busy it was but they got to her way sooner than I thought they would. She got a manicure and a pedicure and I was able to get some work done while I waited. She was so happy when she got out and I scored some major fiancée points with her. Thank you Luv Nails for a job well done.
And just reading the most recent review from Melissa so your a loyal customer for 2 years and they were closed a few times when you went there so you leave a negative Unilocal review saying you will never go again. That doesn’t sound loyal at all. I would think a loyal customer would understand that these people probably have lives and cant be there all the time. I assume its a family run establishment and maybe they had a family emergency or something. A loyal customer would have written about the good experiences they had and not leave a bad review after 2 years of going there. I dont know that just seems weird to me but to each their own. Thanks again luv nails

This was my first visit. I walked in on a Friday afternoon without an appointment. The technician I got was pleasant but was not friendly and flew thru my pedi– done in less than ½ hour. I get it– time is money-​The place does not look dirty, but while I was waiting something bit my ankles– I started to itch as soon as my feet were soaking. My biggest complaint was the tech cut my cuticle and then to stop the bleeding used a solution that irritated my skin. She totally disregarded me and did a just so-​so job with the polish, smearing it on my skin in some areas. I would not recommend luv nails unless you were in a bind.

This was my first time there, I treated myself and my mother to a manicure.
Things noticed:
The pedicure lady was very mad that I switched one treatment from pedicure to manicure.
She seemed to retaliate by accidentally cutting my moms cuticle then leaving the manicure table before another worker took over in the middle of her temper tantrum.
The place was clean and well-​lit.
The young female manicurist did a very good job.
The young male manicurist did an adequate job. The overall look was clean and nicely done but not enough coats of the color.

I’ve been going to Luv for a year and a half now. I usually get pedicures and no chip manicures. I think they do an excellent job. They make your nails look great, and they are gentle and don’t abuse your cuticles or the tops of your nails.
The staff is very polite, though quiet. Not all of them speak fluent English, but they always make sure they know what you want, sometimes by asking a coworker to translate. I’m always impressed by their consistently good service.
I am writing this review while getting a pedicure :-) and loving it! The 5 stars were long overdue.

my favorite nail place… great job on my piggies always…

Amazing for no chip mani! They’re fast but do a great job– my no chip lasts for 3 plus weeks with no chips or bubbles. The basic mani pedi is great but no frills. If you like the fills of massage on the neck or hot stones this isn’t your place, that’s the only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5

I’ve gotten pedicures here a few times and they’re ok. As another reviewer mentioned, it’s a no frills, very basic kind of place.
I can’t speak to their manicures since I’ve only done pedicures there. The pedicures are ok but not great. My biggest complaint is communication and customer service. If your sign says you’re open until 8 p.m. and your door is still open… don’t stare at me blankly then yell «WE’RE CLOSED!» when I walk in at 7:30.
