Best Gel Nail Extensions near me in Des Plaines, Chicago

Regina is my chosen nail technician and all I can say is - every time she does an amazing job! I have very problematic and fragile nails ( due to my habit to remove gel by myself) and Regina always fixes them and make them look nice. Also, I have to mention I like her work style. Some techs make nails thick, but not Regina. The nails she does look tiny and natural. Great job, Regina!

I drive an hour and a half to get my nails done by Milena even though I probably pass 100 nail salons on my way to hers because I know that for the next 3/4 weeks I am going to be HAPPY and my hands will looks so dainty and clean. She really takes her time and does not rush through the cleanup of my nails and my cuticles are DRY so the care makes all the difference. Her eye for detail and her artistic abilities combined make it so that after my appointment I am always beaming! She also uses the best international products and is always wearing the prettiest smile. Thank you Milena!!!

Just had the most amazing mani-pedi experience 💅✨ From start to finish, everything was perfect—Milena was so friendly and attentive, the space was spotless and relaxing, and the attention to detail was top-notch. My nails look absolutely flawless, and I left feeling completely pampered and refreshed. Highly recommend treating yourself here—you won’t be disappointed!

Emily was great! Her technique was so good that I didn’t think I would also get my nails filed underneath. It definitely gave me that clean, pampered look! I love the pastel pink color she suggested to me for Easter 🐣 thank you Emily! 😊 I will be coming back on my next visit.

As a salon owner, I’m very picky about service quality. I have high standards, especially when it comes to e-file techniques. I’m truly satisfied with the waterless e-file pedicure with Marzhan. Clean, precise work. Well done and absolutely deserved recognition. Thank you Marzhan. You will be a great top quality nail tech soon.

Valeria is incredibly talented meticulous, gentle and attentive. She always checks that I’m comfortable and never rushes. I had my nails done by her almost two months ago before traveling to the Philippines, and they grew longer than they have in over 10 years with zero chips! Her almond-shaped French manicure is pure perfection. She’s eager to learn, passionate about quality and truly outstanding. Kudos to Valeria for her amazing work and to Anna for leading such an inspiring team. Дякуємо

Emily was great! She knew exactly how to care for my nails after a horrible mani experience from someone else. I can’t wait to see her again!

Milena is amazing! She’s truly a perfectionist and takes her time to make sure every detail is flawless. I love her manicure — my nails have never looked this clean and elegant. The shape, the cuticle work, and the finish are always perfect. Highly recommend Milena if you want professional, long-lasting results and a relaxing experience! 💅

There is nothing comparable to Amelina Paraiso salon! The quality of the products, e-files and bits, the technicians work ... top quality! The entire team is strong and always helping each other to grow and improve. My nails always look phenomenal and it is such a pleasure to visit with such lovely women – each and every one of them! I drive all the way from downtown Chicago to Desplaines and it is WORTH the trip! Because of the long trip, I am able to stretch out my visits to five weeks. The manicure + gel overlay + gel color last THAT LONG!

Amelina Paraiso is one of the best nail salons in the Chicago area. I have been coming here for over four years and the staff is wonderful. The salon is European style based mani and pedi which if you know is much better then the traditional foot soaking in water salons we have here. The aesthetic of Amelina Paraiso is top notch! Nothing beats it in comparison. My nails and toes always look put together and I come out there feeling like a new person. Amelina Paraiso is one of the best! If you want amazing service, European aesthetic this place is the one! Cheers

Amalia Paraiso once again, has been accommodating and my nails always look on point. This nail salon is one of the best in the Chicagoland area, and uses high quality materials for their customers. I love that they do the E-file manicure and it’s European vibe and feel because they are the best in the show. Will continue coming here!

I just moved to Des Plaines looking for my next nail tech. This is by far the BEST manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life! The attention to detail was next level. I will definitely be making this my regular spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Milena is AMAZING. Perfectionist. I’ve never had an e-file manicure and now I’m hooked. It lasts, no chips at week three, can probably go four. Also love the personal attention and relaxing atmosphere of the salon. So glad MBB is in Des Plaines - thank you!

I have never come across a salon that offers the quality of product, service and knowledge of Amelina Paraiso. That is why I drive all the way from downtown Chicago to Des Plaines. It is ALWAYS a pleasure to visit.

Excellent Service! Milena is a Gem. I’m so grateful to have found just a nail artist that was able to bring a pin interest nails for my wedding day to live in person. Gorgeous nail!! Theme is confetti flowers and decor and now nails!!. Thanks to beautiful Milena!. Amazing work! She takes her time and details. Service extension gel with Umbers’s confetti design+ pedi water pastel blue. No photo for that. See photo this amazing artist for nails.!! The best experience ever at a salon! Feel so beautiful and sexy. :)

I accidentally found a gem!! Went for a pedi and gel x and had the most incredible experience. Amelina tended to my feet with an incredible medical style, dry pedicure with an e- file. Once you have had this, it's almost impossible to go back anywhere else! She also has my big toe toenail in a little brace that will straighten out my ingrown nail so it grows out staight. She painted it, and you cant see it. She then did a full set Gel-X like I have NEVER had done before! She again used a special tool for my cuticles and I do not recognize my own hands!💖 FABULOUS!!!!!

Always a wonderful experience such an awesome job on my nails and toes!!! Once you try this nail spa you will never go anywhere else 👍👍👍👍
