Best Nail Salons near me in Highwood, Chicago

Best manicure ever! I haven’t been to Boka in a while because I tried a place closer to my home, and I am blown away by the differences. Tanya made my nails absolutely perfect and I will never go elsewhere again! Studio Boka is the best!

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.

The pedicures at GMM Nails are wonderful. I’ve been getting the Volcano pedicure for the past six months and it is totally worth the extra cost. The service is great and my toes look fantastic.

This was my first visit and I enjoyed my pedicure and the hot stone massage. It was a nice environment and my feet were so soft and pampered. Great attention to detail and my nails look fabulous.

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!

I just moved to Highland Park and finding a new nail salon is always difficult but I went off reviews and found Max Studio. Location is so close to where I live, I walked in and it immediately had the vibe I like. Clean, cozy and classy! Mira was my tech and she was so sweet, helped me decide on some color options and I loved what we chose! She showed me her own nails as inspiration and they were beautiful, so we went with that for my manicure. I have been packing and moving for almost a month, so my nails needed some serious love and she did just that! So happy and I’ll definitely come back!

After an extensive search of nail salons in Highland Park, I’ve FINALLY found the BEST!! Laura is so sweet & professional. The salon is clean, relaxing & conveniently located with easy street parking & a covered garage across the street. My nails are VERY sensitive and my pedicure easily lasts a month (with Dazzle Dry) and best of all, it’s reasonably priced! You can make your appointment online too with confirmation via email/text. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I had the best experience at Max Studio Nails. I decided to try it out for a birthday treat to myself and I’m so glad I did! Sparkling clean store and friendly nail artists. I arrived right on time for my appointment and they were ready for me. I got a spa pedicure that was so relaxing and definitely worth the price. The best part of my visit was the nail art. The technician did exactly what I wanted, but even better than the picture I showed her. I have tried a dozen nail salons in the north shore but haven’t found one I loved until today. I can’t wait to go back.

This is the nail salon experience I’ve been looking for! Clean, comfortable, spa-like ambience in a welcoming setting, with skilled and attentive technicians. It is easy to book appointments online and the pricing is reasonable with many options to choose from. My no-chip French manicure looks gorgeous, as does my regular pedicure, and both made me feel relaxed and pampered. I will be a regular client here, for sure.

This is clearly my favorite place to go for nail quote restoration", lol My time at GMM Nails is consistently comfortable, efficient and welcoming -alongside that, Laura is extremely careful and the details matter! It's its own kind of reprieve every couple of weeks… I would recommend it to anyone and thank them, providing as they do!

I had a manicure & pedicure with Laura yesterday. She is welcoming, efficient, and very careful with her work. I've been here a number of times and my experience is consistently the same-- I can rest my head and trust that I will be well pleased when it's done. It is a lovely "self-care" opportunity in my frenetic life🙏🏻

As always, I had a perfectly lovely experience AND a quality pedicure at GMM Nails today. Thank you, Suzie!

Feb 20, 2026

The Manicure was so relaxing. It was interesting to watch Laura shape and shine my nails. I would definitely recommend her to somebody else.

This an excellent salon. The staff is welcoming and very professional. Mira did my manicure, and as always made my nails look beautiful.

Laura does a fantastic mani/pedi as well as chair massage. My no chip manicure lasts 2 weeks with my brittle short nails. I’m so happy I found her and the shop.

Nov 22, 2025

I really loved it! Great service and excellent quality. I’ll definitely come back! Professional, neat, and beautiful! Thank you to my nail tech Best nail salon! My manicure lasts so long and looks perfect.

I have never had a favorite nail salon until Max Studio Nails opened! Every technician is skilled and friendly, and the space is clean, cozy, and comfortable. I enjoy watching Project Runway or Food Network shows quietly with the captions on while relaxing spa music plays on the salon speakers during my mani/pedi. My daughter loves all of the fun nail styles like chrome and cat’s eye, while I prefer the classic French no chip mani, and they all look fantastic. Easy to book on the app, and prices are reasonable. Love this place!
