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.

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!

The True Nail Queen of Chicago—10 Stars, Well Earned Every visit here is perfection. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed with warmth, a drink of your choice, and a sweet treat. The owner’s customer service is outstanding—she makes you feel truly cared for. Gulzhan is the Nail Queen of Chicago, and her title is well earned. Her manicures, pedicures, and nail extensions are flawless, with cuticle work so precise it’s unmatched. This time I went with a deep red for fall and oh la la Moncheri, the result is stunning. Alya, Elnura, and Mari are equally talented, making this salon consisten

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 :)

JJ provided me with an amazing gel mani + pedi! She was honestly so great and her attention to detail was immaculate. This was my first time at this salon and I will definitely be returning!

Excellent manicure! Best one I’ve had in Chicago

Julia and team are masters of their craft. Their precision and attention to detail are unmatched. The salon is clean and completely dust free. Julia provides the most tranquil space, with phone chargers and stands, plenty of beverage options and little sweet treats. The color selection is massive and growing constantly with so many gel options too. If she doesn’t have to color you’re looking for, I swear it appears on your next visit. She really listens to what her clients want. Overall, U soul is THE BEST. I have been with her for years and will continue to go to her forever!

Tony is amazing! I booked a manicure with him at Sparkle Nail Salon in West Loop and was blown away by his skill and attention to detail. He really takes the time to shape and polish your nails perfectly. My gel manicure lasted weeks without a chip! If you're looking for a professional nail artist in downtown Chicago, ask for Tony — he’s truly one of the best. Sparkle is lucky to have him

Hanna is absolutely the best hair stylist in Chicago!!!

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! 🫶🏼

Conveniently located by my office, this space is clean and comfortable. I got a quick manicure and made my appointment online which was nice. They got me right in. Staff was pleasant and did a good job. I did have a few bubbles and ripples but hopefully they will dry smooth.

I’ve tried their dipping powder full sets, gel manicures, and even eyebrow waxing — every service is done with care and attention to detail. The technicians are true artists, especially Tony! ✨ If you're looking for a top-rated nail salon in Downtown Chicago that’s professional, friendly, and delivers beautiful nails that last, Sparkle is the spot. Easy online booking, great promotions, and perfect location near Fulton Market. Highly recommend!

Detailed not only in her nail care and art but also in experience! Made this first-time, referral client feel welcomed and answered all my questions on the type of manicure she provides. Get on her schedule if you can!

I had such an amazing experience at Sparkle Nail Salon in West Loop! I came in for a gel manicure and spa pedicure, and everything was perfect — clean tools, relaxing environment, and super professional technicians. They even offer eyebrow waxing, which was a great surprise! If you're searching for a high-quality nail salon in downtown Chicago with excellent customer service and beautiful nail art, Sparkle is a hidden gem. Definitely booking again!

Kate is the absolute best! Her Russian manicures go from the skin of your fingers to nails. Meaning cuticles are cleaned so well that the manicure could last up to five weeks maybe even six, if you are not a picker. Her art work is mind blowing. She will do any design I ask for and blows me away every single time! I’ve been going to Kate for 3 years and her work is worth every dollar. She works quickly yet she is very detailed. Go see Kate!

Love my nails every time. Best manicure in Chicago

The best manicure!! I won’t go anywhere else!

Nail tech was very quick and removed my gel polish carefully while avoiding damage to my natural nails. Would go back!
