J Salon - chicago - Chicago (IL)

Senaya Rosales I’ve been here several times and every time I leave obsessed with my nails! Everyone here is super nice, talented, and detail oriented! I’ve been in Chicago for years now and I’ve finally found my go to nail salon. I wish I saved all my pictures of my nails throughout but here’s a couple of my recents, so simple and cute.

Olivia Szauer I was doing acrylic nails for years and my coworker wanted to try dip and she thought we should go together. I was ready for the change in salons and switching away from fake nails. I have been going to Amy for a few months and could not be happier. I have long healthy nails and the dip never cracks, chips, or feels too thick.

M. Carthans I needed a self-care afternoon and decided to come here since it’s right next door to my barbershop. The owner has the most beautiful energy! Everyone there does! I am a guy who has never had a pedicure as I usually keep up with my own foot maintenance……….until I sat in the chair for a “spa pedicure” (one of their daily specials if you pay with cash), and Nancy did her thing! Such beautiful energy! They have a new client and I cannot wait to come in again in a few weeks!

Lindsey Martin I love this place! They do such a nice job, and they are SO nice! Quick and efficient too! The power even went out earlier and they still continued to work on my nails- the show must go on! Amanda is a very talented artist. Thank you!

INDIA MCFARLANE I appreciate the cleanliness of the salon and that the salon handles appointments professionally. Ive been going to Lina for over a year and she is simply the best! She has very strong attention to detail, makes sure my nails are healthy, does not drill them down too much, and does amazing event nails when you want something fancier. She does a dip mani for me once a month and it lasts the whole month, never chips or breaks. Highly recommend!

Airyanna Kuykendall I love this place! My 1st time visiting, they were super nice and explained Gel-X thoroughly and the cost was very transparent and reasonable. I felt informed from the second I walked in and Cata is so friendly and sweet. She paid attention to every little detail and made me laugh! She did my nails perfectly, I will be back!

Logan Cheney I have been here many times and the work has been exceptional each time! The employees are friendly and I like to make appointments in case they are busy. I have done dip and gel manicures here and I prefer the dip, they last for 3 good weeks (sometimes I push it to 4). The price is good too for downtown Chicago! Highly recommend this salon.

Madelyn Alexander $60 for a special effect gel polish with a $15 tip. My first time here and everyone was so sweet and efficient. Literally a perfect manicure except for one little bubble on my thumb but that definitely could have been my fault. I’m so obsessed! Fair price for downtown and very quick service. Booked same day, I called about an hour and a half ahead of my appointment. Amazing! I’m so in love love love! I will definitely come back for my next manicure. Tina was amazing, she took great care of my natural nails and shaped them perfectly, checked with me before and after each step to make sure I liked it, and was just the type of service I like. She even took the time to shape my very much smaller pinkie, which other nail techs can’t seem to do well but Tina slayed. I have nothing bad to say except I’d love to get more complex manicures and I wasn’t sure how complex their nail artists can get. But I can’t wait to come back!

Rachel Sobczak Easily the best manicure I’ve ever had! The salon is clean, cozy, and inviting. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating – I was even offered coffee with a non-dairy milk option. The salon is in a great location with plenty of street parking. Viki was my nail artist, and was absolutely fabulous. Her attention to detail is insane! She was very gentle while working on my nails and the service never felt rushed, which is something I can’t say for most other salon experiences I’ve had. 11/10, definitely coming back!

Avendah Zickterman The owner is so attentive, kind, and takes pride in his establishment. I made an appointment for a party of three. Despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon, he made sure we were able to sit next to each other at the pedicure and manicure stations. He helped me put my socks and shoes on to avoid messing up my nails. The nail technicians did an amazing job! My pinky toe nails are permanently damaged, and the technician was very gentle. I love the tools they used to clean up the cuticles and dead skin on the toe nails - efficient and effective. The foot massage was wonderful, and my feet are still soft. Love this place! I travel from the far south side to get my nails done at this location, and it is definitely worth it.
