Barbara’s Nail’s & Etc

Very good experience. First, finding it. It is in Water Tower Place. There is a bank of elevators just past the Freshli – to the professional suites on the ninth floor. Follow the signs. The place is tiny.
I called for an appointment (312−943−2302) for a mani-​pedi. Got in an hour later.
My technician was a very friendly Polish woman.
No traditional pedi chair so you keep your leg on her lap. Might be a problem for older ladies. I rather liked it. She did an excellent job, especially with scraping calluses.
I was very happy with the job she did.
It’s not fancy but it is friendly. Basic mani-​pedi was $ 68 not counting tip. I’ve been to much cheaper, but considering location, it was a good experience.

Um, who ever knew that this place existed in the water tower building? It’s hidden — right next to Sister’s. The place is very basic in décor and it doesn’t have fancy spa chairs or anything but I think it’s worth making a trip here. Seems like a place where the Ritz residence ladies have been making weekly trips for the last 20 years which speaks for it’s quality.
When I was there, there were 3 sweet Polish ladies that helped me… they were absolutely hilarious and kept me entertained the entire time I was here. They recommended fun nail colors to try (I’m terrible at picking!) and my nail polish from here has stayed on longer than any place I’ve ever tried.
Manicure $ 20 or $ 22
Pedicure $ 40ish
Prices are a bit pricey but I’ll treat myself to coming here once in awhile. After all, it’s in a convenient location for me. Give it a try…
