Comma Nail Spa

This is a great way to decompress. The technicians don’t really talk to you but I prefer it that way so I can relax. There is usually a show playing on the tv which I enjoy.
They are clean, efficient, and my nails always look great! One time I had a smudge bc I messed it up during the drying process and the tech insisted that they would fix it even though I said it was okay.
Would recommend making appointments! Also bring cash and it’s cheaper!

I’ve tried every nail salon in the area and this one is the best. Good prices, decent nails, clean place. The gel manicures last at least two weeks and they manage to be efficient and good with the polish. Complimentary wine, candy, and snacks too!

Love this place! A little hard to find but they have a nice set up with parking in the back. Mabel did a fabulous mani/​pedi for reasonable price. Friendly staff. Lots of colors to choose from. I’ll definitely be here regularly.

I got a no chip and there was a smudge in one of the nails — they were not paying attention while painting and would not fix it after. I felt rushed through the whole thing and I am unhappy with how they look at the end — I would not recommend this salon.
They did NOT ask during (like they commented below); I asked after she was finished when I noticed it. The first technician said no, that it would take too long to repair and she was not willing to do so. Please do not lie to an online post written weeks ago with excuses.

Cute place. BYOB which is great for girls days or weddig parties. Consistently the best mani in Wicker Park.

I have lived in the neighborhood for 4+ years and tried many area nail salons. Comma is by far my favorite, and I have been going here exclusively, almost every 2 weeks, for over a year. I am a huge fan of their loyalty program. They offer weekday and cash discounts as well. The staff is always friendly, they offer lots of amenities (wine, snacks, How I Met Your Mother on dvd!), and the salon is clean and inviting. I have brought many friends here, and all have left promising to come back. Their no chip polish collection is great! My favorite part is how accommodating they are to walk-​ins. Even when they are busy, I have never been turned away and they always manage to get me in in a timely manner. I am a huge fan and won’t go anywhere else for my mani/​pedis!

I love this place. Firstly I live in the west loop, so I’ve tried places all over the city-​from downtown to Hyde park, up north, west and everywhere in between. The service here is great, and this nail spot is SUPER CLEAN. Usually I get horrible hang nails which is a sign to me when a place isn’t clean since I have sensitive nail beds.
I’ve read complaints where it’s been said they take too long. Listen up nail people.
1) if you want good nail polish that’s not diluted, it’s gonna take longer to dry
2) if you want perfectly trimmed and rounded nails, it’s gonna take a few extra moments
3) if you want it to look smooth and shiny guess what people, it’s gonna take patience.
I don’t know where people are going where they get a mani pedi in an hour, it’s ALWAYS taken 2 hours for me unless the people are hurrying and giving me craptastic nail service.
I only come here now. You want awesome nails, this is the place you go.

It’s an update of my previous review. I still like this place and the price is good but it can get pretty expensive if you want to add any design. And, it feels like the technicians decide on the price such as painting a flower, adding extra glitters as they go and ask their manager how much to charge during the session.
The work is pretty consistent which is plus. It’s great that the don’t usually charge you for removing your no chip but recently I went, I was asked to pay extra $ 5 because I had the Japanese nail polish, which was a mix of no chip and acrylics that was too hard for them to take off. I wish they had told me before instead of deciding to charge me afterwards.
The salon is very clean and spacious. It’s get busy but it never feels too overwhelmingly crowded. It’s a very comfortable place and get your nails done. The people working there are nice, the only unprofessional part is that they often chat away to each other in their native language in ongoing conversation and make the customers feel a bit uncomfortable.

I like to come in for no chip mani because they do a great job, always lasts more than 2 weeks. This time I got a design for Thanksgiving since in going away to Europe.
Everyone here is not only great but also friendly. They are usually packed on weekends so I do recommend making an appointment ahead of the time.

I do love Comma! Out of perhaps ten visits this year, only one has been a bit subpar, but even that one would get 3.5 stars from me.
The place is spacious and airy, and usually has a DVD series playing on the widescreen on one wall, which is nice if you’re waiting for your no-​chip mani to soak off and can’t use your hands.
The price is a bit high but I love the atmosphere and service, so I keep coming back! Every nail tech I’ve had has been gracious, cheerful, and easy to communicate with.
Also, Scone City two doors down is so handy if you need to grab a bite of something before or after!

No mani/​pedi should ever take two hours. The girl doing my nails was nice but slow.
Cut to drying. No room at the drying station. Sat there for 10 minutes. Given it was now going on two hours I really needed to leave. Front desk person laughed at me when I messed up a nail after putting Saran and my shoes and socks on. Asked if they could do a quick touch up and she told me to pick out a color.
Rude. I will not be back.

My new favorite spot to get my nails done! Grace was the technician who did my no chip and pedicure. She is very patients and very polite. It’s been two weeks and my nails are still fabulous! Will be making my next appointment with Grace very soon :)

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE
I’ve been here for a few times for their no chip manicure and comma pedicure combo. They offer lots of specials and combos, the manager or owner is always friendly and tries her best to accommodate.
$ 55 for both plus essential oil massage!
They have lots of color/​brand choice, the front desk gives good advice too when I don’t know which one to go with. The staff is professional, attentive to details and the environment is relaxing. They make sure I am satisfied with the service I get every time before I leave.
Really like their essential oil and aromatherapy services. Plus free parking and wine /​snack bar.
Can never go to the other nail place.

I’ve been looking for a solid, reliable salon here in the city for almost a year now. I have tried them ALL. On the recommendation of a friend, I tried COMMA yesterday. On Monday night, after hours, I filled out the very simple appointment form on their website. I requested a no chip manicure appointment for Thursday, around 11 – 1130. Before noon on Tuesday, I received an email confirming Thursday at 11am.
The customer service skills of the receptionist are slightly lacking, for sure. She confirmed who I was, then pointed at the gelish colors and said «pick something.» After that though, she did give me plenty of time (as I was being rather indecisive), and I never felt rushed.
The girl that did the filing and cuticle care (can’t remember her name. Maybe Ying?) was quiet, but very pleasant. I swear she was smiling the whole time, even when I explained to her that my job is very hard on my hands. She laughed and agreed that my cuticles were a hot mess. She did an awesome job cleaning me up! She then switched out with another girl — Grace — who did the actual no chip painting. Before Grace got to me, I noticed the nail color of a customer that was leaving. I told Grace I liked it, and she went and found it for me!
Overall, my manicure is beautiful. I really love it. She even put a small rhinestone on each of my ring fingers. I have three weddings to go to in the next two weekends, and this is the perfect manicure for wearing with a couple different dresses. The total was $ 36, plus tip, which they let me include on my card (I felt terrible about forgetting to bring cash, but they didn’t seem bothered). As I left, Grace gave me a punch card ($ 15 credit after ten punches), and reminded me that I could come back within 7 days for a few fix if a nail chipped! Love that!
Breaking Bad, season 1, was on the flat screen TV above the manicure stations, which was enjoyable for me. They also do have complementary red and white wine, water, and snacks, though I didn’t try any of that — next time for sure!

My first experience was really nice. I called around 3:20 on Friday asked if I can come in like right now (I live a few blocks away). Made a reservation for mani-​pedi at 4, so worked out perfect for me. Grace did a great job on both my mani and pedi! Over all very clean place, nice personell. Will definitely come back.

Bait and switch: called and booked an acrylic fill and pedi. Arrived and they said they don’t do fills. Waited 15 minutes for pedi to start, after I asked them how much longer it would be.
I’m from out of town and had to get a ride here and had limited time. I didn’t appreciate being told they do fills when they don’t.
Also, their prices are unclear. It was $ 28 for a pedi, not 15 as advertised.
Pedi isn’t the best for the price. Polish is on skin.

Clean and roomy nail salon in Wicker Park.
The nail technicians are friendly and polite. The salon is spacious with plenty of space between the spa chairs which is nice. There is free parking in the front. Also when you walk in they have a cute little candy/​snack bar set up. This place is also BYOB.
They stock plenty of OPI, ESSIE colors for manicures/​pedicures. Their no-​chip collection is not the biggest that I’ve seen, but they’ve got all the colors covered.
They also seem to be able to do some very elaborate nail art if that is what you’d like. One of the great things is they have different specials that run at different times of the day. Like Mani+Pedi for $ 30 from 10A-​2P every single day.
My no-​chip mani and pedicure service turned out well. The painting was done carefully and she seemed to be meticulous in cleaning the cuticles and under the nails.
Small cons was maybe my tech was just a little too heavy-​handed when cleaning my cuticles on my nails… but she didn’t draw blood or anything, and the cuticles look good. They also give a shoulder massage at the end of the service which was better than any other massages I’ve had at nail salons — she really put a firm grip on it. I almost wished I could just go in for like 20 minutes of a neck and shoulder massage…
Overall, it’s a place worth checking out in Wicker.

This salon is lazy. We came in for a bachelorette party for some manis, pedi, and some got both done. I only asked for a pedicure. It started with cold water in the foot basin and when I asked for warmer water she made it seem like I was asking for a huge favor. The girl didn’t let my feet soak at all, she wanted to start immediately. She buffed the bottoms of my feet well (after being told to go a little harder). Then she didn’t clean the cuticles on my little toes, just the big toe. She started painting the toes without cleaning under and around the toes. I had to stop her and request it, and she only did the big toe. After a quick paint-​job she tells me she’s leaving and I have to go.
The only redeeming part of this salon is the chair massaging feature.

Great Place! Fun, friendly and professional. Highly recommend. plus parking right in the lot in front and you can BYOB :)!

I lied! This is the best place in the city for a mani/​pedi. There are no waits but a few moments. The technicians do a damn good job. Friendly front desk service. This is my second visit. In here tipsy with this flask for BYOB lol. Will be coming back again. Keep it up Comma!
