Glitter Nail Salon

I wish I could give these ladies more than 5 stars! They are that good!!!
Porsha is talented, creative, meticulous, taking her time to make sure your manicure is perfect and you are happy.
The atmosphere in the salon is fun and upbeat. I have rather plain, boring manicures as my job requires but these ladies can do it all from my basic, simple, short look to the most exotic works of art on your fingertips!

Best in the Chicago area. Hands down. I will only go to this nail shop religiously every 2 weeks after noticing their work on Instagram. All nail technicians are extremely talented but Porsha kills every nail design I bring to her. Unlike some other nail shops, the ladies at Glitter nail salon take their time with you, and really put in the work to make your nails look amazing.
The only downside is you definitely need to book your appointment in advance. I’d say at least a week or so beforehand. Their clientele is crazy and for good reason. They do walk-​ins but you save yourself a lot of time by just calling ahead

You will be out of your *#{$#%^ mind if you believe any review above 2 stars. For starters, I was a regular in the very beginning with Gwen who has since left the salon (good for her). Then I went back and got Shay. Boy did we hit it off really great! Until 3 months in and this unprofessional technician shocked me to the core. I had regular appointments, never left the salon w/​o making my next one. We both agreed on the time (perfect!). When I showed up for my appointment, unbeknownst to me, she took a walk-​in whose service was all that fancy nail design crap that I hate. As the walk-​in was at the hand washing bowl, I sat in the chair on time, thinking I was about to be serviced — Shay RUDELY said «I have a client in that seat right now» and she said it twice because I surely thought she was mistaken and that I was the client. Nope, she took a walk in and I HAD AN APPOINTMENT. Because I «liked» her and I use it loosely now, I waited for 30 minutes, she STILL wasn’t done! The receptionist Stormy (who has left the salon too!) told me she would be another 30 min! I got up and left and haven’t returned since. I got no apology from Shay nor Tisa the owner who saw the entire thing play out.
They are TERRIBLE at customer service, always have been but I gave them a chance and I am one to support good black businesses, but this is not one folks. Don’t trust those reviews or better yet, go find out for yourself and I guarantee you, you will come back to «like» this review!
Oh wait, another client was a REGULAR with Tisa and did Tisa do the same thing to her? Almost, she continued to cancel or sneak and change the client’s appointment times the day before/​of and expect her to agree when she’d made the appointments months in advance. What is the point of making appointments then? Either do walk-​ins only like the Asian Salons and stop calling this a spa atmosphere because it’s not. Doesn’t come close! And to think the hard work the co-​owner (Tisa’s husband) has put in to help succeed and this is how we get treated? Never again.

Noelle did an excellent job with my nails. This place is excellent for nail art and bling! Prices are reasonable and customer service is excellent!

Took my niece here today for manicure. We came
In with pictures of how we wanted our nails done. The salon manager (?) was great. She was very welcoming. They were running quite a bit behind but she kept us engaged showed our nail techs the photos, said it would be no problem. When
we finally got into the chair both of our techs, mine was Noël (she was awesome) were friendly and did an amazing job. When we went to check out the manager actually didn’t even charge us extra for the nail art bc we had to wait for our apts. I would definitely come here again. However, you do need to be prepared to wait. These ladies do an amazing job and that takes time. My only negative would be maybe they need to do a bit better with timing of apts. however, they are doing very custom nail art so I’m sure not easy to
Figure out just how long each client will take

My sister and I made an appointment at least 2 weeks in advance for a mani & a predi. Half the staff was sitting around doing their own nails while we waited for them to start on us. Then a friendly staff member that worked on my sister’s pedicure started my water for mine. My feet were soaking for 25minutes while my nail technician was still working on her other client until she got to me. Yet the other 2 staff members (one playing with her iPhone and the other filing her toe nails) ignored me. Very disheartening and a waste of my time, especially since I have a lot of wedding planning yet left to do.
Other than that, they did a job with my French mani and pedi. They also added a cute blue flower on my ring fingers with a diamond in the middle.
I would only recommend this place if 1.) you have a lot of time or this is the only thing to do for the day and 2.) you’re here for cool nail designs, not for a simple French or nail polish.

I was so excited to try this nail salon because of one particular nail tech on Instagram (all of them seem to do great work on the salon Instagram). The salon was easy to find and I was seen 15 minutes before my appointment as it was stated. The nail shop itself is good and I was greeted within a few seconds after I walked in (which is great to show customers you notice them). My nail tech was Marina. She was very attentive to the shape and curve, which I was happy about! She was very personable, we both are expecting! Seeing as though this was my first time there, I was looking for a little more guidance to what she did best or recommendation of her style. Her Instagram pictures are beautiful and intricate so I was expecting a little more of that type of work (Maybe I should’ve picked a color (s) and said «freestyle», you know, requested it?) I guess I just thought detailed was how she did nails in general. But I still do LOVE my nails! My only suggestion would be salon to either say «freestyle» your best work (if your looking for the detailed art) OR come with a nail plan in mind. Overall, it was a good experience and I already scheduled an appointment for round 2 LOL

Was initially overcharged $ 10! Told the receptionist that was not the price on the board. She insist she knew the right price. I pointed to the board containing the prices they listed on the wall and she said the price should not be there! I expressed if it posted she has to honor it. The girl that did my daughter’s nail told her she was quoting the wrong price. She had no choice but to charge the price they posted on the board! I will not return to this shop! I never like spending my money on services of thieves!
The women that did my daughter and my nails were pleasant. This shop is not a professionally ran business!!! They are overpriced and very limited with what they have.
The girl handling the payments need to learn customer service. It was a waste of my time and I was not satisfied with my mani and pedi!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS PLACE!!! YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB YOURSELF AT HOME!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SPA EXPERIENCE HERE! MORE LIKE GRADE SCHOOL GIRLS GETTING TOGETHER AND DOING EACH OTHER’S NAILS!

First time customer to change the design of my nails, turned out great! The technicians there are so professional and they care about their customer. All are friendly. I recommend this place because they are really artistic and they pay attention to details. Impeccable quality!

Never has there been a nail salon that keeps me on track like this one. I walk away from my services AMAZED every time. I have seen both Tisa and Marina who are both extremely skilled however when I’m in the salon looking around it is obvious that EVERYONE is extremely talented. Everyone is so friendly and they remember your name every time I walk in. It isn’t often anymore that you can walk into a place and feel like a friend and not like a customer. If you need your nails done this is definitely the place to go!!! Check them out on instagram! Being an owner of a salon myself, customer service and quality and two things I pay attention too and here those things are exactly what you get!
Love this place!

I love my girl Noelle, she’s great! But not happy happy about paying $ 2.00 extra for using a credit card! I’ve never been to a salon that does that! They really need to do away with that!

This is my fav place to get my nails done and Tisa is the best! The staff is nice and friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the services are great, and they have mimosas and wine too! What more can a girl ask for? lol I’ve seen several of the nail tech’s finished product here and they all do a great job whether someone brought in an inspiration pic or just let the nail tech do their own thing. I use to wear my nails very plain Jane, not anymore! Tisa gets me and I let her get creative and she just so happen to stick within my comfort zone. I always get tons of compliments on my nails so i’d definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking for a good place to go.

I went to this salon on saturday. They have awsome customer service. The owner was very pleasant and easy to talk to. I love their pedicures and the way they do nails. They are very professional, I had a wonderful experience at Glitternailsalon. I will be going back and taking a friend. I will recommend this salon too my friends and relatives.

The salon specializes in nail art, pedicures and eyelash extensions.
I stopped in after deciding to try a salon in the area. I arrived when the doors opened at 11am, and there were four (4) ladies entering ahead of me. Several sought service from a specific person and were willing to wait more than an hour. The salon offers mimosas, wine, juice and water so you can easily sip and listen to music while waiting.
As a newbie, I opted for the first available technician. I was serviced by Leila and could not have been paired with a better technician. I absolutely loved her work ethic and her personality. We gelled as if we were old acquaintances.
That said, Leila gave THE best pedicure I have ever had! THE BEST EVER.
Pedicure = 5 stars
Manicure = 2.5 stars (no cuticle softener used, no lotion)
Service = 5 stars (Antonio, Stormie & Leila took great care of me)
No chip manicure offerings = 2 stars
Prices = 3 stars (typical & reasonable)
Space/​Sizing & Seating = 2 stars
Location = 4 stars
$ 2 charge for any credit/​debit card transaction = 1 star
Leila is worth the return trip but admittedly there are a few aspects of services that left me somewhat disappointed.

Went in today without an appointment and was able to get in a chair with Lexi. She was great. And my nails look AMAZING! Definitely going back to get a pedicure and nail art next time.

ive been here twice so far and love it! The atmosphere fun playful and theyre getting work done. Ms Tisa and Bryttni both did amazing jobs and I will be utilizing them for my upcoming nuptials in May. I only gave 4 and not 5 stars is because they book up so fast and only except walk-​ins on Sundays. If youre not there right at opening prepare to wait all day. Otherwise great style and service theres something for everyones taste.

This place is amazing. Marianna always hooks my nails up. I get so excited when it’s 2 weeks and time for a fill. #Badassnailz

I stopped in yesterday after being in the neighborhood and looked them up on Unilocal.Tiffany was able to fit me in right away! I kinda described what I wanted and she knew exactly what to do. My nails look awesome and wasn’t on the pricey side either. It’s worth the drive, and I’ll be back!

When I am in town from Los Angeles, CA I make sure to go see Tisa and staff at the glitter nail salon. The staff is so nice and very informed about nail care. When I was there I received a gel manicure from Tisa the owner. I will make sure to go back here when I am visiting Chicago.
Thanks Glitter team

Negative reviews? No way! I think this place ends my search for a home nail salon in Oak Park. I have gone to just about every other salon in the area before stopping in here based on the signs I see all over the western suburbs. An acrylic fill here is $ 16 and it includes a design on one nail per hand. So I got gorgeous nails on the cheap! Everyone inside is really friendly and fun to talk to.
My nail tech, Gwynn, was great. I get my nails done all the time so half the time I don’t really care about color. I’d rather have someone tell me what’s in style. She told me what was in season and my nails look great. She also directed me to their FB & Instagram page for future nail ideas, so obviously I’m already excited to go in for my next fill because I already know what I want.
I will be back!
