Best Gel Nails near me in Des Plaines, Chicago

I had a wonderful experience at KVADRAT Room! The space was clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional—they really took their time to make sure my manicure and pedicure were perfect. I appreciated their attention to detail, especially during the cuticle work and polish application.

The nail tech did not use a base coat before applying the polish. I tried to ask about the base coat, but we could not communicate well. After the polish was applied she fanned the toes to dry and started to get the cuticle oil. I had to ask her to stop and apply a top coat. I’ve never received a pedicure or manicure with no base or top coat. I’m not sure if she forgot or what. This was just regular polish. I don’t think it will last long without base/top coat. But she did apply the top coat after I asked. Otherwise, she did good job.

Anna did an amazing job with my nails. She is extremely professional and experienced. She made me feel very comfortable since this was my first experience with this type of manicure. I have been doing dip polish for two years and was looking for something a little thinner. Now my nails look natural, gorgeous and meticulous.

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

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!

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! 💅

I had a SMART gel pedicure done by Daryna. The salon is very tidy and the staff is pleasant. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you’re looking for a salon that specializes in Russian mani/pedi services. I will be back.

I had the most perfect pedicure with Polina at Amelina Paraiso Salon! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm, clean, and relaxing. Polina was incredibly gentle, attentive, and professional — she took her time and made sure every detail was flawless. My feet feel soft and refreshed, and the polish looks stunning and precise. You can truly tell she takes pride in her work. Highly recommend booking with Polina if you're looking for top-tier pedicure care!

I've been getting my nails done at KVADRAT for close to 3 years now & I won't go anywhere else. My nails grow long naturally but I move around fast. Whether I'm cleaning, opening a car door, attempting to open a can, or accidentally bang a finger across my office desk for whatever reason LOL With that being said, I always tend to chip or break a nail. Then I get bummed because I have to cut them down and I love my nails long. So I decided to start getting gel overlay on my nails to protect from breakage and keep my long nails. I'm a loyal customer, you can't go wrong with either nails tech.

Exceptional 5-Star Experience! I recently had the pleasure of visiting Amelina Paraiso, and I must say it was an impeccable experience from start to finish. This European-inspired salon stands out with its commitment to professionalism, cleanliness, and top-notch service. The cleanliness of the salon was impressive, reflecting a high standard of hygiene. The staff was not only attentive but also displayed a level of professionalism that is hard to come by. What truly sets this nail salon apart is their expertise in Russian manicures. Highly recommend!

I always have the best experience at Kvadrat Room. Daryna & Alina do the most amazing gel manicure & pedicure in Chicagoland area!

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!

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!

the best nail salon in Chicago area!

"This is by far the best salon in Chicago!! tried them all and finally found this amazing place. Highly recommend! They offer more than just nail services, and the atmosphere is wonderful!!! Daryna and Alina are best nail techs!!!

I just had a gel manicure done by Emily. Outstanding job, girl! Thank you so much!!

Regina is really nice and professional. The quality of my manicure and pedicure are top notch! I’ve gone to many places to get manicures and pedicures before, and I can tell this place uses great quality products for nails. It is durable and long lasting. Regina also does nail art and they are so accommodating. They are also very reasonably priced and don’t take long! My only regret is not finding them sooner and wishing I could spend more time there.

Was my first Russian manicure and was really looking forward to it. When I arrived I was rebooked with someone else, flaw with the ap wasn’t happy. The precision and detail in the service definitely made up for it. Very pleased with the quality of work and will be back.

Alina is amazing! The detail to your cuticles and nail bed makes your manicure last so long! I always get compliments on my nails. Highly recommend!!
