Vickies Nail Salon - Chicago (IL)

1 /5 Sofia Greggio: This is my first time ever leaving a one-star review. I’ve never felt so small and speechless at a nail salon before. I came in and the front desk girl was very nice, she even helped me pick out what color I wanted. She was lovely. The manager sat me down and asked if I wanted anything to drink. He was a bit gruff, but he was also busy. All good so far. Then a lady named Diamond came over and started working on my hands. I was a bit nervous because I was trying dip for the first time and didn’t want it to look too big on my small nail beds. Not only was she impatient, but she snapped at me multiple times when I couldn’t understand her. One nail was so crooked that I asked her multiple times to fix it and she refused. The most she did was take the file and pretend to file it with no change. They ended up looking too big and bulky, and I was on the verge of tears the whole appointment because I was too afraid to ask her to file them down again.

1 /5 Alexa Nicholson: This was my third time visiting. I actually have really enjoyed them in the past and recommend it to my friends. I tried out white dip with a pearl chrome for a wedding and a trip to Vegas last Friday. Within the first 2 days my chrome chipped off and this was an 80+ manicure. I went it to get it fixed and now there’s a weird mark on the finger. I was invited by the owner to get it fixed after my trip. This is one week from getting my nails done and every single nail has a chip or the chrome has completely come off…the tip is also browning on several of the nails?? I’m just really disappointed and frustrated over the experience being a waste of time and money.

5 /5 Maria De Juan: I arrived in Chicago yesterday and I was in dire need of a manicure and pedicure. My hotel front desk suggested we try this location. The place is very clean, very welcoming and warm, they quickly took me in as a walk-in and I got seated with Monica who was the sweetest most kindest and amazing nail tech I’ve had in a really long time. If I could afford it, I would fly back every month just to have my nails done with her! If you need to get your nails done, highly recommend visiting Vegas Nail Salon! I have to share that I took off a acrylics about a month ago and my actual nails are still brittle and Monica left them looking so healthy so pretty it was the most amazing and relaxing experience. I’ve had a great way to start my trip to Chicago.!

5 /5 Lisa Marie: Amazing walk-in experience!! Friendly greeting, friendly staff, super clean, the tech that helped me was very professional and extremely good at both the mani pedi but also she cleaned up my cuticles the best Ive ever had. If Im ever back in Chicago I will make sure to come here again. There were 3 of us. Photos attached for reference of cuticle clean up and polish application.

5 /5 Lauren R: This was my first time going to Vickie’s and I’m so glad I went! I usually don’t get my nails done super often - just a couple times a year for special occasions. But when I do get them done, I want something fun! I heard Vickie’s was a really good place to go if you want nail designs, and they did a great job! From the moment I walked in they were very attentive at the front - asking me what I wanted for a design and giving me color options. When they saw my design inspo picture they seemed a little concerned because my nails are much shorter than the photo and not the same shape, but I assured them it’d be okay. My nails grow fast so I like to have my nails short to start when getting them done, and let them grow out overtime. This way I get to keep my manicure for a longer time period before they’re too long for me to stand lol. Lam did the prep for my nails (gel removal from a previous manicure, file/shape up, base coats) and did a great job! Hannah did the designs and I’m so happy with it! She checked in with me while making the designs and was very friendly and communicative. I’ve attached the inspo picture I provided and how it turned out on my nails to this review (: Will definitely be back!!
