Dream Nails

If there was a way I can give this place a negative star I would. I have been in there a total of three times and all three times was a terrible experience .the management is atrocious. the first time the lady told me she couldn’t do my nails the way I wanted them done because the nails have to come pre made that way which was a flat out lie. the second time she cut off half of my eyebrows and told me that I told her that was okay, and the third time was today I went in and asked if I could get my nails cut down and she told me know because she doesn’t know how to do that how are you a nail salon and you can’t cut down nails?!

I went to Dream nails Yesterday, When I say I’m Disappointed I am highly disappointed. I don’t Recommend anyone to even try to go here I got an Full set, & Eyebrows .My nails look like an 5 Year old did them. They’re bulky, Not coated right & Eye brows are okay but not what expected,

Please raise your beautifully manicured hand if you like Dream Nails! *raises hand*. I go to Kathy for my nails. She is extremely down to earth and friendly. I am a fan of the no-​chip manicure and she really takes her time paying attention to detail.
The store itself is very clean and when you walk in, even when they are busy, they greet you. They give you a roundabouts time when they can get to you so you aren’t sitting there without a clue. I really respect upfrontedness (not a word, I know) and I know they do hold conversations in Vietnamese, but for the quality of their work, its worth it.
I have been to several places for pedicures. I like to keep my toes on point so I know when I get a good pedicure. They don’t cut corners and rush it, again… attention to detail.
I am a very happy customer and I would recommend this place to others. i really wished their prices would go down a bit, cmon is Jefferson Park, not the Gold coast! Ask for Kathy, but they are all great people with amazing skill.
Til next mani/​pedi!!!

I was a fan of this place as the people that work here are so sweet and it’s super inexpensive. I take my younger cousins here for first pedicures all of the time and they love it! But the last time I was in I saw a few roaches crawling on the wall behind the lady doing my nails. It completely freaked me out so I hurried and paid and ran out promptly causing me to mess up my nails. Total bummer!

This place is under new management and has new employees and I think that is exactly what it needed. They also did some light remodeling. I went in on a Saturday afternoon with an hour to get a manicure and pedicure and they were of so accommodating! They ladies all helped me out and did a wonderful job. And at $ 30 for both it was a steal of a deal. I will for sure be back!

Disclaimer: It’s just my own personal pet peeve when i’m in a business of any kind (except maybe a restaurant) and the employees hold full conversations in a language other than english. Sorry, it just annoys the bejeezus out of me!
On that note, I lived in this neighborhood for approximately 10 years and never really noticed this place until I found myself several cars behind at the oil change place and waiting with nothing to do.
This review is based on the manicure I received only, and well, the saying you get what you pay for is extremely true in this instance. The manicure was only $ 10. That’s right, $ 10.
I’d probably say this was more of a 2 ½ stars place, but the hand massage was ridiculously relaxing so we’ll round up. The salon itself was clean, well-​lit, and had a larger selection of colors to choose from than i’m used to. There was only one other customer in aside from myself, and my technician was a guy which was a nice change from the norm, or it could’ve been had he said more than 5 sentences to me. I wasn’t feeling that chatty anyway Mr. Man.
Things were pretty standard as far as a manicure goes, shape, file, buff, etc… only I noticed after I left that one of my nails wasn’t shaped the same. Also, when the tech was putting on the clear coat, there was a little fuzzy bit trapped in the brush which promptly screwed up the polish on one nail. He tried to repair it, but it still doesn’t look uniform. Maybe i’m just too anal-​retentive?
On the upside, I did some heavy duty cleaning yesterday and no chipping so Yay! That alone earned that extra half star from me.
