Best Nail Salons near me in Downtown, Chicago

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.

Studio Boka is truly top-tier. From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, modern, and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxing yet professional — you can tell they genuinely care about the experience they provide. Alexa is hands down the BEST nail technician. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She takes her time, listens to exactly what you want, and delivers flawless results. The shape of my nails was perfect, the polish application was smooth and precise, and the overall finish looked incredibly clean and professional.

Hannah did a great job on my gel no-chip manicure! My nails are short and she was able to work with what I’ve got and make them look pretty

As a salon owner, I’m very picky about service quality. I have high standards, especially when it comes to e-file techniques. I’m truly satisfied with the waterless e-file pedicure with Marzhan. Clean, precise work. Well done and absolutely deserved recognition. Thank you Marzhan. You will be a great top quality nail tech soon.

This was my second visit to Impress Nail Room, but my first time seeing Ivanna—and I couldn’t be more impressed! She’s incredibly detail-oriented and took her time with each nail to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I only get Russian manicures, and Ivanna exceeded my expectations. Her precision, patience, and dedication to clean, flawless results really stood out. My nails have never looked better! I’ll definitely be coming back and booking with her again. Highly recommend!

This was my first time here. I came here to get my bridal nails done, (big deal I know) and left absolutely OBSESSED with my nails. The talent, time, and expertise the staff has did not leave me questioning anything. It’s super chic and clean inside too! I highly recommend this place if you want a good quality nail job! My nail broke the next night before my wedding I went back to see if they could fix it and was taken immediately and fixed my nail. They didn’t try to mask the break they legit fixed and redid the whole nail. Can’t wait to go back!

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

I love Boka Nail Salon! Their service is top-notch—my nails always look amazing, and the staff is skilled and attentive. The salon is clean, relaxing, and they offer a great selection of colors and designs. The only downside is that the staff often speaks another language in front of clients, which can feel a bit rude. It would be nice if they kept conversations more inclusive. Other than that, I highly recommend this place for quality nail care!

Ivanna is great! I love the way she does my pedicure. She pays attention to details. Impress Nail Room is clean and well maintained. Atmosphere is welcoming.

It was my daughter’s first time getting a pedicure and manicure. The staff is so friendly and put her instantly at ease. She loved the experience. We will be back!

Amazing service! Detailed technique, caring master! My nails look perfect and the design is just what I wanted. Aksana reads my mind and executes beautifully! The best nail salon in Chicago land area (and I’ve tried many!) Studio Boka thank you for your love for the nail art !

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.

The best nail studio in Chicago land area! The results always exceed my expectations. Got my perfect mani and pedi today and can’t wait for the next visit!

Went to Impress for the first time today after many disappointing manicures at other places. Jovana gave me the best manicure and pedicure I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back!

I have been going to elegance for five years and I absolutely love it! Never a bad chemical smell like other nail places and you even get a little massage while your nails are drying, which is a great touch!

Absolutely the best E-manicure by the very best, Margo! Love my nails every time!!!
