Best Manicures 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

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.

Erica did a very careful and efficient job in my manicure and pedicure. The salon is always very clean and calm.

I really like the studio, clean, cute and plenty of natural light which is fundamental for me. The gel manicure I got was perfect!

It was my first time visiting Amelina Paraiso and today I definitely had the best ( time-wise and the quality) e-file manicure and pedicure experience, performed by Polina. Have scheduled my next appointment right away and looking forward to it. Thank you !

I had a mani/pedi and it was a good experience. I go here often because there’s never a wait with an appointment. Technicians are kind and attentive and my nail polish last. My technician yesterday didn’t disappoint. She did a great job.

Wonderful experience! My original appt had to be rescheduled due to a nail tech’s illness and Jenny worked with me to ensure I could still come in before my birthday. I truly appreciated her accommodating me! I ended up seeing Irina for an e-file manicure+strengthening and she was wonderful. Great attention to detail and one of the best manicures I’ve ever had. I will definitely be back!

The best manicure ever!

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.

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
