Mercie Nails of Palos Heights

Duc is so friendly. Everyone there is really nice and they do a great job. Would recommend this place!

Love this place every time I come to Chicago I visit Duke and his sweet technicians! They take extra time to make sure the experience is exceptional and there are no mistakes. They have great availability and I never need to wait! Make an appointment for busy times! Love Hannah and Amy!

Their chocolate pedi is the basically the same thing as the others, but smells like chocolate and is very over priced. My French tip on my toes came off in a couple days, whereas other places it stays on for weeks/​months. Though it is hard to tell what actually caused this, but I woke up with bumps on my legs the day after my pedi. The lady who gave me my pedi was very sweet, though.

I love this place!!! Duc is awesome, I’ve never been disappointed. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend Mercie nails to everyone.

Rude… I brought my daughter to have a polish and they kept complaining about how her nails are too small. We wanted to sit with next to each other like a mom and daughter activity, but they split us up and the lady that did my daughters’ nails asked her where her mom was that she had to pay x amount before service was performed as she sat her down in the chair, she acted like I was going to run off without paying for a 10 dollar service. I am not accustomed to that kind of treatment, my daughter also told me she was a bit rough. I called and complained but I’m sure that fell on deaf ears. Sorry there are a million nail places out there… I will take MY 10 bucks elsewhere where I wont get the shake down for the money

DO NOT GO HERE. I do not recommend going here as I will never walk into this place again. I had received what I thought was a full set of «gel nails» when in reality it was acrylic all along but I was charged double the amount of an acrylic set. Maybe it was my fault because I didn’t do my research but after doing A LOT of research after my appointment on the different types of fill ins I found out that I was conned at this location. What they did was tell me they have «gel powder» for a manicure (when it is actually acrylic — gel NEVER comes in powder, but how does the average person know?) and used the powder mixed with a liquid on top of a fake nail and then just topped it off with a gel top coat and put my nails under the UV machine. It’s been 3 weeks after my manicure which is why I was looking around for a fill in but now will just stick to regular nail polish at home which is what I’ve been doing for years. Besides this con that they did on me my experience wasn’t that great either. The place looks different than the pictures and you’re practically on top of the other customer next to you because they fill the place to the brim and just did not make my experience pleasant. I guess this bad experience that happened to me can be a way to prevent other people from going since I can never get the money back I wasted on this manicure.

I took my 10 year old daughter for a pedicure for her birthday. Lori was so kind making sure the water and towels weren’t too hot. She was very professional and did an excellent job. Thank you.

This place is overpriced and it doesn’t seem very sanitary. I think the staff is more eager to up their sales then to clean their tools or their pedicure chairs. I tell them I want just a basic manicure they couldn’t just give me the basic manicure but insisted on the no chip manicure. I felt so uncomfortable.

First time here today. I appreciate Duke shaking my hand and introducing himself since he knew I’d never been here. Cristina did an amazing job on my nails. I felt welcome and could tell they take pride in their work. She really helped me pick a great color to match my pale skin tone and shaped my nails nicely. I really was impressed.

Usually when I walk into a nail salon I feel pressured to spend a ton of money and be rushed to finish my appointment, but that is not the case at Mercie Nails. Here I feel like a member of their family. I have been going to Mercie Nails on and off for years. They always do a fabulous job with my complex designs, and if the design does not turn out as planned, they are more than happy to fix it. For example, today I got my nails done, and I had a complex design. My nail technician, Tony, was not satisfied with the way that my design turned out, so he completely removed the design and started over. In the end, my nails turned out amazing. In addition, they are an extremely affordable salon. Let’s just I am a college student, and I have no problem paying for my no chip manicures and pedicures.

I always leave this salon completely satisfied! Every technician there is capable of doing complex and beautiful designs! In particular, my favorite technicians are Duc, Stephen, and Tony… will always highly recommend them and anyone at Mercíe to my friends!
Also, prices are fairly cheap compared to other places I’ve been to. I always get a no chip manicure with a detailed design and a deluxe pedicure and pay under $ 100 every time!

Will never trade this salon for another. I’ve went to dozens of places to get my nails done & for pedicures and none of them have been as good as this place. So clean and such a professional friendly staff. The owner is great, he takes the time to get to know you and makes sure you have the best experience possible. They offer so many types of pedicures ! My favorite being the chocolate pedi. The prices are reasonable. Make sure you book your appointment !

First time here and it was horrible. My lady barely know English. The lady told me she couldn’t do what I wanted and when she walked away the other tech said «she’s done that before she knows how» so I pick something else. Again she said she couldn’t do it. So I picked something else. My third option. said she could do it. So we come to the time to paint my nails she tries to do what she said she could. It looked nothing how I wanted. She got mad because I didn’t like it. So I go find another color. By the time I get back she’s all pissed because they’re closing. (Mind you I went in 3 hours before they closed. only for a full set. Waited for an hour and some time.) the tech next to her raised his voice at me because I was still there when they were closing. Like it was my fault… My tech wasn’t even there anymore. She walked away. Never came back. So I’m sitting there waiting for somebody to do my nails finally somebody shows up.
Two days later they’re already chipped. And the paint job was crappy.
Very disappointed for having so many people recommending this place.

I have been in here multiple times and each time I have had a completely different experience. The facility is clean, but it kind of feels as though they just moved in and haven’t unpacked yet. I know that’s not the case, but there are always boxes full of random things scattered around and everything seems cluttered and out of place. The service is typically friendly and I have never had to wait more than a couple of minutes, but the quality of my services have been very inconsistent. I have gotten a full set of acrylic nails and was very pleased. They actually got the nails short enough for me which I can’t say of most other nail salons I’ve been to. I also tried the no chip manicure a few different times over the last few months and I was repeatedly disappointed with this service. The first time, the color on three separate nails had chipped off completely within 5 days of getting them done. I went somewhere else to have them fixed and had much better results. Then the most recent time, I sat down and picked my color. The technician went to get it and came back saying that I had to pick something else because the color was empty. As he was gone I heard him discussing with another technician that she needed the same color, so he said that he would just tell me the color was empty. Annoyed with the lie, I looked through the colors again and picked something else. Then a few minutes later he came back with the original color I had asked for saying that it actually wasn’t empty… Ok. In the end my nails look ok, not great. There is polish all over the tips of my fingers that I have been attempting to get off, and a few of my nails have bumps in the polish which looks a little messy. Overall I was impressed with their acrylics services, but I’ve had much better luck at other salons when it comes to no chip manicures. And $ 40 after tip is much more than I’d like to spend on a subpar manicure.

Shout out to Duke at Pretty Nails! I made an appointment for a no-​chip manicure earlier this week based off of word of mouth recommendations. When I arrived the staff was very friendly and engaged me and my friends in conversation. The salon was very clean, Duke introduced himself and took some time to talk to us. We all left very happy.
The next day I noticed my manicure looked a little uneven and I was not quite satisfied with the end product. I simply made a phone call and they told me to come in whenever I had time. When I arrived and explained why I was unhappy with my polish, Duke attended to the matter right away. I left with a new manicure at no extra cost; I am more than thrilled.
I believe Pretty Nails has wonderful ownership and management and that translates through their wonderful customer service. I will be returning for all of my future nail needs.

Place is nice and clean but technician who did my nails was not good at all. My no chips manicure was ugly, I will never go back

A bit over-​priced for what they offer. My feet still felt dry and cracked, even with paying extra for additional treatments. They are a bit pushy in trying to sell you more services, which is something I never liked or felt comfortable with. It’s one of my pet peeves. If I wanted something extra, I would tell you.
The atmosphere is okay and it’s decorated nicely, but the pedi-​chairs are uncomfortable, which takes away from the whole «spa and relaxing experience». Also, the manicure chipped after only a few hours later. Quite disappointing.

Everyone is friendly & professional. I’m very picky when it comes to my nails, but the lady who did them did an amazing job. I decided to get a pedicure with my gel full set and the chair– amazing, I nearly fell asleep!

Recently changed their name to Mercie Nails, the nail salon is clean, the staff is very friendly and very professional. I have brought in pictures of how I want my nails painted and they have duplicated it without fail.
So happy I started going to this nail salon

«Every time I am home from school I make an appointment for a pedicure and it never disappoints. The staff are all friendly and excellent. Duc is wonderful and has really made a salon that is beautiful, comfortable and offers great services.»
