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

Every appointment at Dynamic Salon Spa is a joy. As someone who has never regularly paid for manicures, Juliana has officially converted me with her impeccable skill to make even the wimpiest nails (MINE) look fantastic for weeks after a gel manicure! Cannot recommend her more highly.

Excellent! The best spa manicure and spa pedicure with callous remover that I have ever had. I have travelled throughout the U.S. and stayed at top resorts with spas and this was better. It was very clean and the service was excellent. There is no comparison to any place in Chicago. I highly recommend.

Erika is the best nail technician in Chicago. I would add she is also the best nail technician in North America if not the world. Erika’s Dazzle dry manicures and pedicures dry quickly and last a long time. They also look beautiful with Erika’s expertise!

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 :)

Erika gives the best pedicure in Chicagoland. Period. Not only is she masterfully skilled in her craft but also a beautiful person and so easy to talk to. I always look forward to my appointments with her. The spa is warm and inviting with an elegant touch in decorating. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t settle for less than the best the you’ll find Erika delivers a world-class experience for a price that is half of what her skills and expertise are worth.

I had an amazing visit with the best nail tech in Chicago ♥️

I have known Mischelle for 20 plus years and she is the best in the industry. I travel a lot and always make sure I see her before I leave knowing that my manicure and pedicure will last for a very long time (often a month and that's only bc the nails have grown but the polish is intact). I also go to her for a massage as she is very strong and often adjusts whatever needs to be adjusted. I feel lucky to know here as she does everything with all her heart and soul. My family adores her too because she is a very special person who cares not just about taking care of you but you as a person!

Mary did a great job with my gel mani. I appreciated that she let me try swatches of different colors of polish when I couldn’t decide what I wanted. I also appreciated the ability to book online and quick service. Will definitely come back!
