A.T. Nails

Daughter was gifted a no chip manicure by her father today and we were extremely disappointed. It looks as if a kid did her nails. They didn’t clean up the edges. They didn’t put enough coats. The owner yelled at the tech but didn’t offer to fix the issue. Daughter who is too shy to say anything and was so sad. Will never ever go back and not worth the money.

I am from out of town here celebrating a friends engagement. We popped in to get our nails done for her engagement party tonight. This place is not clean at at. They also had no staff. The only individual working had to call for backup. My nails looked better before I came in.
Did I mention this place isn’t clean? My friend, myself and a new customer all sat at the same chair/​station and the staff didn’t change the towel once, nor clean the station. Very poor paint job. Would not recommend.

Wow. I should have read the reviews for this place before I came. The gal that did my mani/​pedi rushed through the entire thing (less than 35 minutes for BOTH) and my nails look like a kindergartener painted them. Don’t waste your money.

I went here and I have to say this place is out dated. When I got my nails done the owner of the place did a rush job… I made her do my nails over… Do they know what there doing… My nails were uneven and there polishes looked old … I mean really?

So first of all i will never go back there. My nails look like i bough them from dollar store and put them with a glue on my nail. They are just not what i expected. I went there cos i live across the street and i didnt have much time do drive around. I REGRET IT! The lady was rushing and my nails are not even cut ad they should be.
I do not recommend this place

I love this salon, Annie is great. The place is clean and there is free parking.
I decided to get my nails sculpted, the compliments never stoped coming in.
If I didn’t mention I had them sculpted everyone thought I had my own beautiful
Nails. Thanks Annie. I will be back.

Definitely not the best nail place in Chicago. The owner, Annie does a good job on eyebrows. The man/​lady who sits at the first booth to the left should not be doing nails. The shape is bad and she takes forever and uses «honey & sweetie» too much. There are not very many polish choices either. And this place is almost always empty. The prices are good though.

I really hate having to give a bad review to this place, I been going there for over a year now. I go with Annie (the owner) who is very nice.
The prices are as low as they could possibly be. But she rushes through everything, I’ve also asked her to do some designs that I pull out for magazines and she just does a horrible job, I wouldn’t mind if she actually tried but like I said she just does it in two seconds.
I usually get no chip or when my nails break off I get acrylic, but what really bothers me is that she files my nails beyond what she should, to the point where she bleeds my finger. So rather than improve them she makes them worse I rather say good bye.

First time coming in getting a no chip mani. The lady who took care of me was pretty nice but rushed through out the whole manicure. Not to mention she was very rough doing so, making my thumb bleed as she was buffing my nail. Decided to give it two stars since the rest of the nails were okay & I like the color I picked. Not going back though.

Love this place. Been coming here for months now. Emmi is fantastic. Prices are great. Best mani and pedi service I have ever received.

I just moved here and decided to give this place a try. The service was great and everyone was friendly. Additionally, the place was clean and organized. I will be back!

The ladies at AT Nails are all nice. Annie (who I think is the owner) is very sweet.
She does a great job on my nails. It’s a no frills place but clean and there’s free parking out front. I used to go to Lee Spa Nails and this is way better. No men for one. The male technicians always creeped me out at Lee. It’s never crowded so walk in is fine.

Just got a pedicure here since I was looking for a better place in my area to replace the one I had been going to. I was excited at first because they offered to use a razor tool to remove the callouses which many places don’t do and I felt I needed it. They didn’t do a very good job with it at all, then when they went to shape my nails that went very wrong. Not very happy with this pedi at all but what do you expect for $ 20 I suppose… won’t return.

Just had a nice salt scrub rub down on my legs and feet, a pedicure with Oh No Mexico polish, and a manicure– total damage with tip $ 40. My feet feel so soft and all the callouses are gone. I know my pedi will last about a month, maybe longer if I can stand my toenails growing out. My nails are all cleaned up and nicely shaped. I am a natural nails kind of girl, not the pink and whites for me, but I see a lot of people getting that done here, and they look beautiful. I’ve been coming here for a long time, it is no frills, inexpensive, and they are getting some new massage chairs !

I go to A. T. Nails from time to time. It’s a fine place to go if you like a down to basics mani-​pedi for a good price and are a regular. Once they took me in after hours, which my feet and I really appreciated. This is no spa but I have had good experiences there as a regular.

This might have been the WORST manicure and pedicure I have EVER had in my life. I recently moved in the neighborhood from lincoln park and gave A.T. nails a chance. WOW! They took off an old manicure and began ruining my nail underneath then paining away getting nailpolish all over my actual skin and then my clothes. Last time I EVER return. Save yourself the $$$$$, please and the clothes and the time to get your nails redone. I had an event the night I had my nails done and I was in such a bad mood after my appointment that my fiancé had to tell me to calm down I was so upset.

Oh dear… I hate to say it, but this place was terrible. I am not a «mani pedi girl» in fact, I never treat myself to these… None-​the-​less, a girl knows when she is being treated poorly. The woman who worked on me was rough and left my feet scratched and red. To make matters worse, she was literally SCREAMING at one of her co-​workers the entire time she worked on me (making for a less than relaxing experience). Towards the middle of my job a woman walked in, requesting her eyebrows waxed. Rather than have this woman wait her turn, the pedicurist left me to wait for 20 MINUTES with lotion slopped all over my wet leg. When she returned, I was pruny and peeved. The woman continued to scream in conversation with her friend while she completed my job… When it was time to pay her cash register would not work, causing me to wait an extra 20 minutes for her to figure things out (all the while screaming at the top of her lungs at her co-​worker).

Put this salon on the blacklist and burn it!
This salon is in no way of deserving anyone’s hard earned money! I went here with my sister for their manicure and pedicure special
(don’t go here even if they offer to do nails for free!) and boy were we in for a surprise! My tech was the man who sits at the first table on the right when you walk in. He was sloppy, arrogant and unprofessional. My sister’s tech was the young girl who sits at the last table on the left side of the salon. Both technicians are very inexperienced and this shown in their work. Both of their polishing, filing and cuticle cutting leaves a lot to be desired. There are only 3 people who work there, the two «lovely» technicians and the owner, so don’t bother going here with the hopes of getting anyone else other than the two incompetent workers. I can continue to ramble on and on about this salon, but I refuse to give them anymore of my time. I just wanted to let my fellow Unilocalers know that this place needs to be shut down due to the fact that these people have no idea how to run a business or do nails. STAY AWAY!

Nothing special about this joint. I walked in, it was pretty empty, I told them what I wanted and was directed to a massage chair. The lady who started helping me was moving and speaking too fast for me to keep up: «Hi, how you doing? You pick color. What color you want? Same? OK, sit down.» Mind you, I did not answer any of the questions, but followed directions as she waved me towards a chair.
So here’s what knocked off stars: As I was easing into my chair, waiting for the basin to fill while attempting to decipher the worn buttons on the massage remote, another customer walked in and asked for a manicurist by name. Speedy Polish (as in nail polish, not nationality) Lady told her that _​_​_​wasn’t here, then beckoned her over to the pedi stations. She picked up my handbag and sandals, then motioned for me to move to the next chair. My jaw dropped, left toe hovering over the rising blue scented water, my eyes communicating the sentiment that my mouth was unable to speak, «You’ve got to be f — ing kidding me.»
Stunned, I plopped clumsily down into the neighboring chair. SPL, seated in front of Customer No. 2, started my water and tossed in some more blue powder. I eyed my handbag in the next empty chair, considering an exit. «She almost done, she be with you in a minute,» SPL barked, motioning a nipper at the manicurist posted at the furthest chair. Grabbing a five-​month-​old Vogue from the shelf behind me (all the magazines crammed on this shelf seemed to be either January or February editions) and setting a pout on my face, I thought I might as well make the best of it. (I was waiting for hubby, so I had time to kill.)
Several minutes later, the new manicurist sat down before me, very apologetic. She’s why this place still gets three stars. So polite and gentle, she provided the perfect amount of conversation – and did a fantastic job. I went for a French pedi – my first time ever – and it was perfect. She also did a pretty thorough job scraping the feet, and didn’t yank or twist my toes the way some other folks do. She had a calming way about her – perfect spa disposition – and effectively turned what I thought might be a mistake into a potential return client. I say «potential» because only time will tell how the pedicure holds up.
Also, I was a little jealous that SPL used a Dremel hand tool-​type thingy on Customer No. 2. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was doing with it, but I admit that I have an appreciation for pedi power tools.
