Best Salons in Chicago

Highly recommend this therapist—he’s honestly the best masseur I’ve found in Chicago for deep tissue work. I deal with back pain, and he is incredibly good at identifying the exact pain points and knowing just how much pressure to apply to actually relieve the tension. Every time I leave a session, I feel immediate relief. He’s also very communicative and does a great job of allocating time based on what you ask him to focus on. If you're looking for an effective deep tissue massage, he is excellent.

I’ve been coming to Elegance Nail & Spa since it opened many years ago and the service is always great. The salon itself is very clean and the prices are amazing! The staff that did my nails were both great incredibly talented and kind. I now live in Chicago but try to stop into Elegance whenever I am in town!

Where do I even start?! I had an absolute amazing time at my appointment with Theresa! I booked with her back in October, as I was planning a trip from Detroit to Chicago in February, and everything worked out so well! The salon was beautiful, and everyone was so welcoming and nice! And Theresa? The absolute cutest, coolest, and nicest person ever. I absolutely adore the way my hair turned out, it’s definitely my favorite hair color I’ve done, which says something cause I do my hair a lot haha. I can’t wait to plan another trip so I can come back, I had so much fun and Theresa is so talented.❤️

I’ve been going to Mon Cheri since 2024, and there is no one I trust more with my nails! I have noticed my nails getting stronger over time because of their quality products Mon Cheri is the best nail experience in Chicago! 🫶🏼

I always have the best experience here. They have the most thoughtful touches like a full coffee bar with Nespresso, fancy syrups and snacks too! Everyone does an amazing job and I love watching all the results as I’m getting my hair done. The stylists all seem to be real friends and it’s such a warm environment. Coraima is the BEST. I always walk out grinning ear to ear. I love this salon and am so, so happy I found it and switched from going into Chicago! I’ll be a lifelong client.

If you are looking to literally have THE best nails in Chicago (and frankly, anywhere you travel) book Z! She can literally execute any design I dream up and it’s 20 times better than I could have imagined. Every. Single. Time. I have faithfully been following her around for a couple years because I wouldn’t dream of letting anyone else touch my nails. Her new space is everything she’s always deserved! You will feel invited, welcomed and warm when you are at your appointments. Z’a attention to details within her work leaves your nails absolute fire!

Be did such an incredible job on my nails! 💅 She’s so gentle, detail-oriented, and really knows how to bring out the perfect shape and finish. My nails look flawless and I’ve been getting so many compliments. The whole experience with Be was relaxing and enjoyable—I can’t wait to book with her again at MiniLuv in West Town, Chicago!

I had an amazing experience with Tony at MiniLuv Nail Salon! 💅✨ He’s incredibly skilled, detail-oriented, and takes the time to make sure every nail is perfect. The salon atmosphere is clean, relaxing, and stylish, which made the whole visit feel like a treat. Tony listened to what I wanted and delivered even better than I imagined. My nails have never looked this good or lasted this long! Highly recommend booking with him if you’re in West Town, Chicago

Karina Ponomarenko is the absolute BEST!!! I recently moved to Chicago and was nervous to try someone new, but I have had the most amazing experience. Karina is so kind, flexible with scheduling, and easy to reach out to. I DM her on Instagram and the appointment is booked within minutes. Her new salon is beautiful with a great location, as well. I definitely recommend Karina and will continue going back to her for all my hair needs :)

She’s the ONLY one in Chicago who can get my brows looking so perfect! Her studio and personality is so warm and welcoming, thanks Angie!! ❤️

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
