Best Gel Nails near me in Chicago

I've been going to GNM Nails for years, and Laura always does a fantastic job!! I also recommend trying the Bio Gel Manicure. It takes longer than a regular gel/no-chip manicure (and needs more curing under the UV light), but they LAST. My first two, I was able to go 3.5 weeks with no chipping or breaking. My most recent one was 4.5 weeks, still no chipping or breaking! (But definitely obvious it had gone a bit too long because of the distance between the polish and the nail bed.) My nails were longer than I'd ever been able to grow them over the last decade, with no tearing or breaking!!!

Alyona was wonderful. She was patient with my daughter and explained the process of a gel manicure with designs. My daughter loves her nails. The nail salon is very calming, quiet and relaxing.

I’ve received a lot of Russian manicures around the city trying to find the right place and this is the only place that has truly gotten it right. Emily took her time and my Russian manicure and pedicure are absolute perfection. I’ll be a regular customer from now on for sure!

I had a Japanese manicure and regular polish pedicure. Great experience! Ilona was very kind, making sure I was comfortable and and checking in with me during the appointment. She is detail-oriented and takes a lot of time and effort to make sure my nails looked great at the end. I can't wait to go back.

Erika is AMAZING! I see her for pedicures regularly, and she does such a marvelous job every time. She is very thorough and takes her time, paying extra attention to the details. My feet have never been softer, and the nail polish is always perfectly done. Incredible value for service. Not to mention that being in her chair is an absolute joy - she is so warm and friendly, and overall she really knows how to take care of her clients from start to finish.

My toenails and fingernails were a total wreck, but Maya, as usual, calmly, quietly, and efficiently worked her magic and brought them back to life! I have been an Eden Agora customer for many years, and brought my daughter here for her first manicure when she was 6! We are returning next month for pre-wedding mani-pedis and a facial! We always feel special here.

I’m a new client at this salon, and I’m so glad I found it! There’s a warm, friendly atmosphere here, and all the ladies are lovely, professional, and truly care about their clients. Milena did my manicure and pedicure—the results are amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful—especially when it came to picking a color, since the selection is huge and every shade is beautiful! I’m thrilled with the final result and will definitely be back. Thank you, Milena! ❤️

The place is super clean. Massage chair and foot spa was nice. The manicure and pedicure were very thorough. I would have given 5 stars, but I love sparkles. I could not find a color saturated in sparkles. I had to get a plain color and add sparkle as a top layer.
