Best Gel Nails near me in Fox Valley, Chicago

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.

First time at this salon and first time with Russian manicure (hard gel). I’m extremely happy with my results and would expect to go back. The attention to detail is refreshing and I’ve never had a better manicure.

Soelma did such an incredible job with my nails. This is how all manicures should be done! The level of attention and detail are amazing. I know this manicure will last me 6+ weeks. AND she did the same incredible work with my pedicure.

The reviews are spot on the place is super cute, clean and has a fun vide. I saw Alin and got a new gel manicure talk about attention to details. She did an absolute amazing job! I will definitely be back.

I love visiting this place. The staff is always incredibly friendly and they consistently deliver excellent service. Despite my allergies to gel polish and acrylics, they offer a product called builder gel that I can use, which is HEMA-free. This is my go to place, highly recommended!

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

Yesterday was my first time at Bellaviva and it was a great experience. Everyone was very welcoming and very personable. Love that this salon is one-on-one service with a very calm environment. I got the basic pedicure Gel x manicure and both services were great! The technician took her time and explained each step of the manicure as it was my first time getting Gel. After my appointment was finished I booked appointments out for the next 2 services. So happy I found this salon!

Excellent service that accommodated my needs for a no-chip removal and a regular manicure. I learned about a new nail polish type, Dazzle Dry, that lasts about 2 weeks today too. A nice alternative to a no-chip. I’m excited to see the results! I am very satisfied and love the clean atmosphere and decor at Nail Bar!

Just had a beautiful cat eye manicure. Thank you, Mila.

Everyone was very pleasant and welcoming! I am currently starting my wedding nails process and wanted to utilize the Builder Gel or Gel X applications methods which is hard to find near me. It's worth the drive for myself from Chicago to continue going to Bellaviva because the quality and service, I have always had a difficult time finding, is easily recognized and present. I will GLADLY being going to Bellaviva especially for my wedding nails process!

This is my third time getting a Russian manicure, and honestly, I don’t think I can ever go back to a regular no-chip. They look amazing and last me 3–4 weeks every time! Regular no-chip manicures from typical salons would sometimes chip within a week or two, which was always so frustrating—especially since getting your nails done takes time. I’m so glad I found Dangina. I highly recommend it! The atmosphere is great, and the salon and staff are incredibly clean and professional. Also Irina was amazing!

I would give more stars if I could. Clean, organized, comfortable, well decorated. Had a gel manicure. Usually the staff/employees only speak to each in a different language. Everyone was really nice and I will definitely be going back.

Wonderful Dazzle Dry mani/pedi! This is my second appointment with Bella—she is meticulous about her work and does such an AWESOME job!! Wonderful leg and foot massage. She was kind to help me pick out a pretty manicure polish. I will definitely see her again!

Amazing Russian manicure! Great precision and attention to details. We just moved to town, and I will definitely be making this my new spot.

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!
