Top Reviews 18 Nail Salons in Springfield, IL (page 3)

Kat Feliz I always come here and schedule my appointments with Vincent. He always does an amazing job and does whatever design or color I ask for. My nails always last me 3+ weeks. Price are always the same and I’ve never had any issues. I would recommend always making an appointment if you plan to come here because they’re usually very busy.

k bowman Such a nice place filled with the sweetest people! Always very clean and they do such a great job.

Stephanie Endsley They make my piggies cute!

adrienne dodge This place is horrible. I’d give 0 stars if I could. I paid $75 for 2 sets between a friend and myself, and they literally rushed towards the end. Failing to put top coat on at least 4 fingers causing them to chip earlier than normal. I had one nail fall off in my SLEEP, another nail the acrylic French tip started peeling, and on another the artwork rubbed off- went back, mind you less than 1 week and paid TEN $ for repairs which did NOT even last 12 hrs. Literally did nothing except pump gas, and I had a nail snap in half. This place is horrible. HORRIBLEE. I don’t even know how to apply acrylics and I could probably put on a set that lasts longer than this. This store doesn’t even know what an apex is based on how they apply acrylics. Do not spend a dime here- it will be an absolute waste if you do.

Peyton Ray I will not be coming back here because the main girl did my nails and she did a horrible job she rushed through it and she was very rough with my hands. she cut me twice and I started to bleed and its pretty expensive for what a terrible job she did. My nails were left feeling sticky, the color was streaky, and the polish was all over my fingers and cuticles. The people here were very rude and pushy. Please save your time and money by not coming here!

Danielle Gerndt My daughter and I both got pedicures here. The young man who did hers was great, but the overall tone of the place besides him was rude. The woman who did my pedicure was rushed, no massage and barely touched my nails to trim them. When she applied the polish she was extremely rough with her finger nails attempting to remove the polish from my skin, which she did a terrible job at. When we left I noticed a large gap of no polish on one toe, and now four days later theyre already dull and chipping. We will not return here, Ill go pay for someone to do it correctly.

Emma This was my first time ever getting my nails done at a salon and it was wonderful! I called ahead to make sure there was a spot for me. It was very clean and organized. People were friendly. I didn’t get his name, but the male nail artist there was amazing. He did exactly what I wanted. I showed him an image and he delivered! He did all the same details of the image. Very precise work. I will be coming here again!

Yasmine Scott I come to this nail salon often and usually have top notch service. Today I showed my nail tech a photo of the nail design I wanted and he botched it. The nail polish was chunky and did not look good. I politely told him several times in the course of him doing my nails what I liked and didnt like according to the photo, he verbalized that he understood but the results demonstrated that he in fact did not understand the assignment. After two failed attempts at fixing the design I asked for plain hot pink polish. When I went to pay for my nails and asked the total of my services I was told that my nails ...which had to be "fixed" three times would be $50, when I questioned it again very politely the manager said the design that was done was "very good" and i could pay or not pay". Ultimately they ended up charging me $35, but I am severely disappointed in the service I received today and how poorly I was treated. I frequented this location often, often bringing my entire family and spending $200+ for nail services. I will never recommend this shop again nor will they receive further patronage from me.

R F Listen — just because I like my nails maintained short and plain without polish doesn’t mean you can skimp on the service. I paid $65 for a mani pedi to get cuticles cleaned up, relaxing massage, and my nails cut, filed, and buffed to a shine. I’m really annoyed because I also tipped the girl $10. Feet were done in about 10 minutes, despite choosing the more expensive collagen package. She did the manicure right from the pedicure chair in 3-4 short steps. Cut, then bag of cuticle cream straight on the whole hand - no water and it burned, a quick shove to half-ass push the cuticles, no cutting or clipping cuticles and just a perfunctory filing of the nails. No cuticle oil, and I had to remind her to buff, which was also done half-assed. Never again at this place. My nails look better when I do them myself. Avoid this place if you’re a minimalist who just wants to relax and be pampered for an hour. They were not busy at all…

Meghan Landers City Nail is overall a great experience. Easy to schedule with flexibility. My nails always look great and last weeks. My husband and son even come with me for pedicures! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Always clean. I recommend to everyone!

Deborah Lorenc I have been having my nails done here for over 10 years. Their artistic ability is amazing being able to recreate any design.The quality of their work is the best. I highly recommend this nail salon.

Paris Capler Tracy’s the best I been going to her nail shop for some time and every time I go there she’s always do my nails and my girls nails the way we like them she’s the best love you Tracy

Kirby Londrigan Van is the only person I ever have do my nails, she is the ABSOLUTE best! I’ve been coming to her and this nail salon for the last 3 years and it is amazing!! Very clean, friendly staff, good prices and it is always easy to get in quickly. I couldn’t recommend this place more and ask for Van, she’s great! My nails always turn out perfectly and last for weeks❤️

Melissa Singer The staff is very nice and accommodating and always do a great job.

J T An hour and a half and $50 later this is the result. I was so embarrassed when I had to ask for a refund. They said only if they removed them could I receive a full refund. I didn’t have time to spend another 30 minutes taking them off. I received half of my money back and will never be back. It literally looks like a child did these…if you cannot give a professional manicure or apply acrylics please do not offer your services.

Sandra Wagy Nini and her staff are absolutely amazing. I have been going here for a few years and I am always extremely happy with how my nails look. They all do an amazing job. Thank you so very much.

Jaimee Bryant I love this nail salon. I appreciate that they are appointment only, ensuring you are in and out quickly and also that you do not feel rushed. Every tech there does incredible high quality work and are also friendly and kind. This is the only salon I will get my nails done at because of how wonderful the staff are and how beautiful my nails turn out every single time.

Tera Edwards I’m obsessed and will be going back every time I need my nails done. They are fabulous and care about how the nails look. My favorite part is they are not super thick.

Laura Briggs Great experience here. Book in advance online since they are so busy you’ll need to. The inside atmosphere is great and feels very luxurious. Been coming here for years to see Louis for dip nails and pedicures, his work is excellent!! whole team is so kind and friendly.

Nadine Rae I promised him i would give five stars as a joke if he did good, so here we go. Nathan not only was amazing with my nails but he was also very easy to relate to and incredibly funny. I have a hard time connecting with others and he’s definitely a nice person to chat with while having your nails done without that awkward silence. Thank you, Nathan!

Kaitlin Davis This was my first time here and I had a great experience! I booked online and they make you pick your tech, so I picked Cindy based on other reviewers. She was great kept checking throughout my appointment to make sure it was what I liked and was a fairly fast appointment. Would definitely come back!

Kate Menas Im from out of town so I asked around and Royal Nail Spa 77 was recommended. I am extremely happy with my nails. I told her what I wanted and she did her thing. I forgot to ask her name. She was young and sweet. But I would HIGHLY recommend this salon!!!! Will definitely be using them while Im in town.

Reneé luv Absolutely satisfied I got my birthday nails done with my friend and our nails came out great! Tina was awesome definitely coming back

Jerry Clinton Used MMA on nails really bad for you. Got primer on hands and said not supposed to contact skin... paid 65$ took off when got home they were really bad. looked nothing like I wanted and showed the "nail tech" what I wanted. What I got was hideous... a guy that did my nails. Kind of waste of money wont ever come back here :(

Family Man 90 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience! My wife and I came in for pedicures, and we were absolutely blown away by the experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, clean, and relaxing. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making sure we were comfortable the entire time. The pedicures were top-notch—thorough, refreshing, and so relaxing. The massage chairs were a great touch, and the attention to detail was impressive. Our feet feel brand new! My wife and I both agreed this was one of the best spa experiences we’ve had. If you’re looking for a place that offers excellent service, a calming environment, and an all-around luxurious experience, this is it. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend!

Sarah Hughton They are a small business. I like that I get the same people when I go in every two weeks. They remember me and my little one who likes to get his feet done.

Peggy Will-Crush-You My daughter & I have been going to Diamonds for a while now. First, they have a very beautiful salon. Second, their people are top notch! Last, they have decent prices for what they can do! They have the largest selection of polishes, stamps, & foils. We love Jade for her amazing art/painting skills & Kim for how quickly and perfectly she does the acrylics. Wont go anywhere else!

Claire B. Enjoy getting my nails done here. Ive never had to wait. Theyve always been high quality. The guy that has done my fill the past 2 times has been super friendly and great conversation. I also think their remodel inside is very nice. If you havent been in since they switched management, you most definitely should.

Brittany Crew Every time Ive come here Ive gotten exactly what I want and there designs are on point even my last set that was way more detailed would definitely recommend ❤

Erica Hill I went in for the second time to see Mia, she came highly recommended which is why I was surprised by her attitude and unprofessionalism. I came in and washed my hands even though I wasn’t instructed to (my usual nail tech has her clients wash their hands before every service) I sat down for my fill and i had a dark brown color on my nails which she didn’t completely drill off before applying my acrylic. When i asked about it she told me it was my dirty nails. It was so obvious that it was the brown color that she didn’t take off and proceeded to lay acrylic over. Unprofessional, lazy and rude. She couldn’t own up to the fact that she made a mistake and decided to be rude. It was uncalled for and unnecessary.

John Dundon Went for a basic pedicure with the wife today and the prices were so good we decided to go with the herbal option which was the most expensive at only $65. I couldnt be happier about the whole experience. Its been about 10 years now that Ive been getting pedicures fairly regularly and this was by far the best my feet have felt. I honestly couldnt believe it was so cheap either as the other could places weve been to were $80-$100, or more, for the best option. I also feel like the owners were so nice and friendly that I have to spend a few words on them. Felt much more comfortable than any place weve been to before. As a man Ive always felt out of place in a nail salon but that really didnt apply here at all.

Drew Cloud The owners are very talented and have staff that are always friendly & attentive. Their pedicure options are PHENOMENAL and they have tons of gel & dip powder options for manicures. They have competitive prices and always ensure the final product is perfect to my liking. The interior has been updated and the music is relaxing. The massages included with the pedicure are above and beyond!!! There is rarely a wait here & it is my go-to … it’s really a hidden gem.

Paula Velten Love getting my pedicures here! As a matter of fact, my husband and Mother do too! They do a great job, are friendly and profess And the salon is very clean too. I highly recommend them.

Ashley Webb Awful experience every time I go here. I had a basic pedicure that felt rushed and was very poorly done. My big toe nails were cut in the corners at odd angles. The woman doing my pedicure cut my toe below my nail with the file and put nail glue on it.

Katy Nightingale The man who did my pedicure did such a great job! He paid great attention to my cuticles and calluses, kept me comfortable, and had a very kind smile. I felt as pretty as a princess when I left after everything below the knee was buffed, massaged, and pampered.

L “Lemon” Go to #1 Nail on South 6th street instead, you’ll thank me later. I walked into the Nail Bar 66 salon and showed them a picture of ombre nails and they promised they were able to do it. Afterwards, they told me that they didn’t have it and they can do something similar. During the first nail I informed the nail technician that I didn’t like the look of what he proceeded to do, he then threw a fit, & cut off what he had done. Then afterwards his brother translated what the tech handling me was saying, & which was telling me to leave. They sent me out the store looking like this (picture posted down below) I asked who is the manager, & they both refused to tell me. Horrible service for a nail salon that I USED to go to on a regular basis because it was so close by my house, & no matter if you spend money here the workers will always have an attitude & but this time was outrageous. They should actually try being nicer, it may have helped because their nails arent even good for the price they ask.

Sicely Kluge I will not go back. The guy running the show seems overly controlling, to the point someone should be monitoring that place. He would not allow the technician to do artwork on my daughters toes. He seemed to watch everyone so closely and it was uncomfortable. The place was too busy even though I scheduled our appointment. The technicians were sweet though and I felt bad for them. UPDATE: the guy also instructed the technician to “just paint over it” suggesting to paint over the dip. The pictures below is my nails just 2 days after. I never get my nails done and I rarely write review but I know this was not usual or okay! Everything was so chaotic plus having my 4 year old, it was hard to speak up and I wanted to keep it a positive experience for her. However the day after, 4 of her nail were completely rubbed off as well. I will not be calling back, will not be going back, nor recommend this place.

Sydney Stokes Galaxy is my favorite nail salon I’ve been to. Any time someone asks me for a salon recommendation I recommend Galaxy. Lynn is my go-to girl but you really can’t go wrong with any of them. I have gone to other technicians when Lynn wasn’t available and i’ve never left dissatisfied. They do a beautiful job every time!!

emily curry Kimberly did amazing on my nails, and on top of her beautiful work, she was friendly, funny and very welcoming. Galaxy is by far the best atmosphere of any nail salon I’ve ever been to and I plan to keep coming back! Kimberly showed us some of the designs she’s done before too and if you’re looking for detailed and super cute designs I highly recommend!!

Sarah Lane There has not been one design Ive wanted they could not do. Sometimes it might take 3 workers( one puts on tips gets you ready for acrylic, next one does acrylic, other does design) to make sure you get the best but I dont mind because my nails last longer than other salons.

Tp Paxton I use to love happy nails especially for street designs they are usually my go to but lately the price has been 40/50 more than I use to pay and it’s never the same they tend to rush a lot now cherry is still very sweet but the atmosphere and work has changed a lot they don’t keep track of appointments they set you for one and you still wait and hour or too for service I went at 11am for a full set and pedicure and didn’t leave until 5:30 they need more nail techs period cherry and Dave can’t take on everyone.

Tabitha Adams I highly recommend this place! But, I will say that they do have a BAD tendency to rush your nails, ( mainly Cherry and Dave) and they do not honor appointments. But rather than those two negative things about them, they do a wonderful job! Cherry did my duck tips and she got the shape together! I love, love, love them! I have finally found my permanent nail spot!

Jennifer Sinclair I started going to q nail over 15 years ago and would never let anyone else do my eyebrows. She is the best. Also great nails and pedicures.

Amanda Terry I mustve had Judy. I came in last summer after the other place I went to was closed and I saw their 5 star review. Back then she told me what I would need to tell future nail techs so I could keep my nails healthy, which I was super impressed with as she knew I wouldnt be able to make it back to her specifically. Lo and behold I came back for Christmas and the country I was working in made my nails go south. I was super uncomfortable with my hands and was worried about getting anything done but she was very reassuring the whole time and gave me my options and was super understanding. She was also very gentle the whole time and extra careful not to hurt me. My hands feel sooo much better and they look amazing too. They have my loyalty!

Ashley richno I found this place through a co-worker 3 years ago and I haven’t been anywhere else since! Julie is hands down the BEST person I’ve ever had do my nails and as long as she’s around I won’t go anywhere else. She takes her time and gives me exactly what I ask for. She’s accommodating to my work schedule and my nails never disappoint! 5 stars no questions asked! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alyssa Jones Went in wanting dip and the guy that did my nail said acrylic will look better. So I got acrylic and the tips of some nails are thick some have little parts that need filed down.

ANN OTT Love the massage chairs. The pedicurist gave me a great leg massage and scrub. Great experience and she did great with my toes. I’ll go back.

Cindy H I wasn’t able to get service. I arrived at 3:30pm for a fill-in and pedicure. I was told to come back in 30 minutes. I asked when they take the last customer and was told twice 7:15pm. I came back at 6:45pm and was told I could only get a pedicure today because they were closing early. I like the salon but I probably won’t go back. I understand having to wait which is why I can’t back later but to be turned away a second time, not cool.

Heather Van Pelt The place closes at 6 on Sundays. I got there about 4:15 for a full set and they were more than happy to accommodate me. Every employee in the building was pleasant and had a smile on their face. I was having a little trouble understanding my nail tech, Alex, but they didnt make me feel like an A-hole about it. Ive never really frequented a nail salon because I always feel like theyre rushing and not really paying attention to the quality of their work. But Alex did a wonderful job! I could see him checking each nail for uniformity and imperfections. I never get any designs or extras on my nails because I work in the service industry so I easily notice things I dont like. I only noticed one tiny issue, told him, and he made it perfect. We were finished about 5:40 and I appreciate every second he spent on my nails!! On a side note they had a few people come in for services at 5:30 and welcomed them in happily!! The tech next to me was also so friendly with her client and just genuinely sweet! Very impressed with this salon!

Kaitlyn Hedrick I took my daughter here yesterday to get her first Mani(full set)+Pedi for her birthday. It was a great experience and they did an amazing job on us both. I love the teamwork they have! Everyone was kind and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in. They were very helpful while we were trying to figure out what we wanted and I really appreciate their patience. Will definitely be going back! Thanks, ladies! ❤️ -Katie

Dieuvena Victor My first walk in to this nails salon . It was a great experience. They gave me the design I wanted . The staff are very friendly and nice . Great customer service. Highly recommend . Would go back .

Amanda Bringle I absolutely LOVE these guys. I’ve been going to them for awhile now. I go in with a design I want & they completely blow it out of the water! Very Talented & Patient. These pictures don’t do them justice - Always a happy customer

Heather White I LOVE this salon! I have been here 3 times so far for a manicure and once for a pedicure and they never dissapoint.This last time I took in a photo of how I wanted my nails and the wonderful technician exceeded expectations. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!

Lara Donovan Huge thanks to Lina and Beth for making our mother-daughter pedicure so relaxing and enjoyable. You made us feel completely comfortable, and we loved chatting with you just as much as we loved the final result! Our nails look fantastic, and the salon was spotless. We’ll absolutely be back!
