Best Gel Nail Extensions near me in Fox Valley, Chicago

Iman is the sweetest nail tech ever. She educated me on builder gel and how I can strengthen my nails after damaging them for years with acrylic. The shop is adorable, staff is nice, and the environment is very clean. I love getting my nails done with Iman.

Great experience at this place I loved how Jenni did my nails! Jasmine was so nice and friendly. I love the gel x extension nails I’m so excited about them! Would highly recommend this salon for your next mani pedi

My new favorite place to get my nails done! I’m allergic to gel and acrylic nails (I get blisters, redness, swelling…) but they have HEMA free builder gel and I had no issues with it. I’m excited I can get my nails done again. I also tried their waterless pedicure and loved it! Staff and customer service is A+. I had services done with Jenny, Iman, Kiki, and Christina… they were all wonderful!

Kiki did an amazing job! I was nervous because my nails went through it. I had one nail that completely ripped in half and she was able to add a gel x tip to make it even with my other nails! I also had a nail that was ripping in half and was super sensitive. She was careful, removed my old manicure and add gel on top so that it won’t lift with no pain! Overall, I was super satisfied with this manicure and always satisfied every time I visit

Kiki was amazing! She let me know that the prior nail tech may have only done one coat of builder gel and that was why it was lifting after 2 weeks, so she re-did everything and did the best cuticle clean ever! She’s my go-to from here on out! Also, I love the salon and all the girls in it, everyone is so friendly and fun and o love how quiet the salon is as well. Can’t go anywhere else!

This was the best manicure I’ve ever had! I’ve been getting manicures since the early 1990’s and then as a profession I got gel acrylics. My poor nails were so damaged. Ilona did a wondrous job. I’m never going anywhere else again.

Nora is truly the best nail artist! Her attention to detail is amazing, and she always makes my nails look absolutely perfect. She’s not only incredibly talented but also so kind and professional. Every appointment with Nora feels like a treat. I always leave so happy. Highly recommend her!

I went in for a Russian mani-pedi today for the first time. I had Nora as my nail tech for both hands and feet, and she did a wonderful job. I am someone who’s very particular about my nails, yet, she needed minimal to no direction throughout the entire process. She executed the job perfectly. My nails look fantastic!

Kiki is the best! She’s very talented, takes her time, and really perfects every nail artwork as if they’re her own nails. She’s very sweet and patient. I always look forward to my appointments with her.

Mila is great 🥰 she did such a good job on my pedicure. I got French on my toes. Also got extensions because my nails are pretty short and she also did such a good job with that as well.

Exceeded my expectations! Vera was great! I’m so happy I’ve come across this nail salon! This is the best my nails have EVER LOOKED!!

Bellaviva is the best nail salon I have been to, hands down! The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and relaxing, all of the employees are friendly, and my nails look amazing! I felt extremely relaxed and pampered during my manicure too. Highly recommend!

I love my nails they look so great. Yana was amazing and helped me pick out my color and was so attentive to each nail. I will definitely be back!

Jun 27, 2024

I had an excellent experience. I admit my nail technician Luiza did not have a lot to work with; I had short, cracked, thin nails from too much shellac, but luiza built my nails up beautifully and gave me a top of the line manicure to boot. I will be returning

If you're ever in the Chicago area, GET HERE AND GET YOUR NAILS DONE! I'm not a girly girl but my boyfriend loves it. So I get them done in the winter for him. If they're done right! I'm telling the attention to detail was like art. Also, I'm a farm girl hippie so she had her work cut out for her! And still did amazing! Thank you e&g nails!

Ireina did a fantastic pedi!!!!! She is my new GoTo now that I live near Chicago.

May 28, 2026

My 1st experience was awesome. The hard gel nail technique is SO much better than the "usual" nail "chop shops" that drill your nail beds to ruins. This is a delicate process that helps strengthen and grow your nails. I will be a repeat customer!

Jul 18, 2024

Firstly, Irina was so kind and helpful. I am still quite new to getting my nails done and she made the process very easy for me. Overall the results are adorable and will go with everything. I got a simple French tip with a natural nail color ombré that mutes the brightness of the white slightly. My only complaint is that the ombré over the French tip is a little patchy in places on about half my nails. I guarantee nobody but me will be paying that much attention, but hopefully next time I come in the result will be more seamless. Otherwise a great experience for me. Thanks!

Love my new nail color with beautiful star artwork on some nails. Mila is so artistic! Thanks again for giving me beautiful nails.

May 11, 2026

My experience was fantastic!! Dangina is the absolute best place to get nails done. I got a Russian manicure with extensions and they are beautiful. I’ve gotten my nails done for decades and this is hands down the best my nails have ever looked. Thank you!
