Got my nails done last week on Friday and it was such an amazing experience for both my cousin and I. I also really appreciated that they looked at the health/condition of my nails and then recommend a solution. The cuticle clean up was so cool to watch and my nails have never felt healthier. Can't wait to book my fill in soon with Anastasia!

Love love love my nails done by Natalia! She is honestly the best😍

These ladies do Russian manicures the way they’re supposed to be done! I’m super particular about gel overlay because nail techs, more often than not, lay the gel on too thick.. but not here. Nails come out looking beautiful EVERY time! I’ve tried out most salons in Chicago for Russian manicures, and this one is my favorite! Never going anywhere else.

The service and quality of work is amazing overall do give them a 10/10

I recently visited Unique Nail Salon, and Milana M. did an amazing job! I was a bit anxious since I had heard Russian manicures can take forever, and I don’t like sitting still for too long. However, Milana worked so quickly yet was incredibly careful and precise. I absolutely love my milky nails – they’re everything I’ve ever wanted. Jokes aside, they’re truly perfect. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for flawless nails!

It’s a very clean and comfortable environment. I enjoyed my manicure she was very nice and very careful with my nails loved it so much definitely will be coming back.

Easily the best manicure I’ve ever had! The salon is clean, cozy, and inviting. Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating – I was even offered coffee with a non-dairy milk option. The salon is in a great location with plenty of street parking. Viki was my nail artist, and was absolutely fabulous. Her attention to detail is insane! She was very gentle while working on my nails and the service never felt rushed, which is something I can’t say for most other salon experiences I’ve had. 11/10, definitely coming back!

Russian mani and pedi are an out of this world experience and these ladies will show you exactly that. Their work is very neat, precise, and clean. I love that my tech Anastasia took her time to make my experience memorable and enjoyable. I am completely obsessed with my nails and feet. 100000/10 experience✨ I love it and I can’t wait to come back. The ambiance, the service, my tech was amazing. I won’t be going anywhere else. Thank you for having me and providing an amazing service! Thank you, genuinely.💕


Jan 15, 2025

The nail technicians always do an amazing job! I always leave happy, satisfied and obsessed with the way my nails look🤗


Jan 15, 2025

This was undoubtedly the best manicure I have ever had! The attention to detail was fantastic! Unique is very clean and has such a comfortable atmosphere, we will definitely be back!

Great experience overall at Unique Nail and Salon. They did a wonderful job helping me pick a color and were extremely diligent with their nail work. I was extremely impressed with how my nails turned out. Would highly recommend going to this Salon for a Russian manicure. 10/10!

This is the best Russian manicure in Chicago. The location is great, there is easy street parking. The salon is very organized and clean and the manicure is fabulous!


Jan 05, 2025

Best Manicure I have ever gotten!


Jan 05, 2025

Best nail salon. Seriously! The girls working are so sweet, knowledgeable and great at nails. They got me delicious coffee and took extra care of my severely damaged nails from a different salon. Most sanitary salon I’ve ever been to, and they pay much attention to detail to give you the most perfect nails you’ve ever had!


Jan 05, 2025

Definitely will come again 👏🏻I mean look at Viktozia’s nail work! She is amazing. This salon is professional, welcoming, and the atmosphere is nice.


Jan 05, 2025

I had great experience and service here. Staff were really nice. Milana was so nice and did her work perfect.


Jan 05, 2025

I love my nails 10/10 I will be back again and plan to make Unique Nail Salon my new salon home my service was great I was expecting a hand massage to be included in the manicure but my first experience was great and I love the Russian manicure concept overall very demure. Thank you ladies


Jan 05, 2025

Natalia is my person forever! She does my nails to perfection. She takes her time and she makes sure I’m comfortable the entire time. The nail shop is prime location and everybody is so sweet!


Jan 05, 2025

The best nail paint job that I’ve ever had. They were perfect. Thank you


Jan 05, 2025

The most amazing and effective manicure I’ve had to solve both my cuticle problem as well as offering long term shiny and strong nails. No acetone or soaking ever! Well worth the price!


Jan 05, 2025

They made a great work and they were so polite and lovely. I loved it. Thank you!


Jan 05, 2025

They made me to pay for acquiring extra 3% of total - that means I paid for commission for using that card reader. I don’t think it’s right! Why should customers pay for using that machine! You guys already have really high prices so why we customers pay for your business things? That made me think that the business owners are really cheap. And they also offered me to send it via Zelle. Are they trying to avoid taxes? And we should pay extra 3% for your business expenses? Hell no.


Jan 05, 2025

This has to be by far my favorite set. My nail specialist was Natalia and she did an exceptional job. This was my second Russian manicure and my nails held together so well until my appointment with Natalia. My nails feels strong and slim unlike bulky acrylic nails. Very excited for my next set. I will say this is an expensive service, but it is worth it!


Jan 05, 2025

Unique is the perfect place for brows in Chicago! Conveniently located, quick service, affordable pricing, and my brows look perfect.


Jan 05, 2025

Very professional salon! Technicians were ready upon my arrival. Very meticulous in providing manicure and pedicure. End result was impressive 😍 Also had brow service which turned out natural and clean.


Dec 05, 2024

Amazing experience. They have great communication via social media and in person. Very professional. Very detailed with their services. I loved the way my nails turned out. The salon was clean and peaceful. I will definitely be back!


Dec 05, 2024

Hands down the best nail salon I have ever been to. Diana was the best and took suck good care of my nails. Already booked my next appointment 💖💅

I had a wonderful experience at Unique. I was impressed by how thorough and well executed my manicure was. Although I’ve had many many manicures of all types before, this was my first Russian manicure. I’m impressed at how beautiful they turned out and have been admiring my nails constantly. Salta was professional and extremely gentle. The technician next to me was super educational with her client and extremely respectful. It was noticeable how much these technicians care about their results and the clients satisfaction. The environment is super beautiful and clean and very peaceful. I spent about 75 min and left very relaxed and pampered.

I had my first Russian manicure at Unique nails. I took advantage of their promotion for the $190 mani/pedi e-file service with $20 off your first service, and I probably will not come back to Unique. For that high of a price, I thought I would be getting services equivalent to a full set of gel fake nails. Upon arrival, I was told that the price was for services on my real nails. If I wanted extensions on all nails, it would be $300 and take 3 hours. I was expecting my level of service to take 2 hours. All of my services were done in 90 minutes, which tells me that it wasn’t true. I got the services, and my toes came out excellent but I wasn’t too crazy about my nails. The polish was cute, but not overall the nails were not beautiful. My problem though is that on the 8th day, my right pointer nail just popped off. Then two days ago my right middle nail fell off. I was charged 8$ for the single nail fix 8 days after the services. Now, I have to look silly for Thanksgiving, which I was trying to avoid but cannot due to poor workmanship. Unique Nails should have at least a 14 day guarantee given that they advertise that nails should last 4-6 weeks which clearly is not possible. I am gentle with my nails, as I hardly even wash dishes, and they just popped off,. Luckily it was painless and in one piece. Overall, the staff and ambience is nice except for being inconvenienced in several ways. I attached photos

I really love this nail salon it is located right next to dry bar in between the threading place and dry bar. They buzz you in and you take the elevator to the third floor. They are so kind always offering snacks and drinks. Very accommodating and flexible! My nails turned out beautiful and Diana was my nail tech who is so fast and has the best attention to detail. They can get you in asap and do the best Russian manicures!


Dec 05, 2024

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the brow artist for their incredible work! The wax brow correction was done delicately and with great care, followed by a soothing cream that left my skin calm and irritation-free. But the real highlight was having the procedure done lying down! Such a brilliant idea—no discomfort from sitting in a chair for too long, just pure relaxation and enjoyment. I'm absolutely delighted and will definitely be coming back!


Dec 05, 2024

I will never get another no-chip manicure ever again. This is definitely the way to go, ladies. Worth every $. Natalia did an incredible job!


Dec 05, 2024

Natalia did an AMAZING JOB she was so meticulous and did the exact nail design I showed her from a photo. Highly recommend


Dec 05, 2024

Staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome right away; had an outstanding experience. Already booked my next amazing experience.


Dec 05, 2024

This my fourth time getting my nails done at Unique Nails and I’ve gotten nothing but superb results and treatment here! Their process results in a perfect healthy set of nails. NO acrylic or any other harmful chemicals! Both my pedicure and manicures last a full month! I recommend 10/10. Try them.. I promise you won’t regret it!


Dec 05, 2024

This was the absolute best nail experience of my life. The salon is beautiful and clean, each person I interacted with was so nice and accommodating. They were perfectly on time with the appointment and took their time ensuring every single nail was beyond perfect. I have never gotten so many compliments on my nails in my life - I left feeling beautiful and pampered. I cannot recommend this salon enough! This is a picture of my nails almost a week out - still absolute perfection.

Первое приятное впечатление от администратора салона: вежливая, дружелюбная, отзывчивая девушка, что означает человек на своём месте. Салон свежий, чистый. Угостили кофе и водичкой. Сервис на высоте. Мастер маникюра профессионал. Я довольна своим маникюром!
