Fingers & Toes Nail Spa

Came into town for the weekend and needed a little pampering. I’m Here now at F&T getting a pedicure and the woman is doing a decent job. Cute place. Seems clean and decent. However when I walked in the owner (I assume) told me the building did not renew his lease so he is closing. As dud the technician who is doing my feets. 20 mins til close. Stevie wonder playing on the radio. Nice. Relaxing tho. I hope her massage is harder than the scrubbing/​pumice. No such luck. :(.

I went here for an «emergency» no chip manicure on a Friday afternoon. By Wednesday of the following week, my no chip manicure was in fact chipping. When I was able to return back to the salon, they kindly offered to fix the chipped polish and give my tips an extra bit of polish as well. What do you know? Not a day later, the new polish on my tips is wearing off and I’ve got two nails with peeling polish.
They are very nice people, but to pay $ 45 for a no chip manicure to last less than a week is not wallet-​friendly.

This place helped me out in a pinch. A day before the Thanksgiving holiday so you can expect that ladies would want to get those nails did, I mean I myself was going on holiday so I definitely wanted to get prettied up.
I did find this place to be more expensive than my usual place, but they were able to get take me as a walk in despite how busy they were. They were also super nice. I do give them props for how meticulous of a job they did on my cuticles. I just wish that my nail job lasted more than a week (although I may have beat them up a bit). No complaints on the pedi as I am going on week 3. If you can suck up the price this is a solid bet!

I took my neighbors to get pedis at fingers n toes. Ok, I understand they are busy, since its downtown and in John Hancock building and most come here. But if you tell me to come back and not take us right away, there’s a problem. With 4 technicians working on manis, it was unbelievable of a wait. I would rather go elsewhere with the girls next time. The only good thing out of this day was that for girls under 13, they make a design on the big toe which the younger one did enjoy and was happy about.

Just got a great pedicure here! They were super busy but still able to fit me right in on a Friday afternoon. Susie did a great job on pedi.
Great pedicure by Susie!

I came in with a gel manicure, just wanting a regular manicure to break the cycle. She soaked my fingers in super hot acetone and did a number on my nails, but the manicure lasted a week+ and looked great. A little pricey, but that’s coming from a cheapo. Good place for a quick mani in a busy part of town.

I was visiting Chicago on vacation and was in desperate need of a manicure. I arrived on a Tuesday morning at 10am and was taken right away without an appointment. The staff was friendly and the salon clean. The technician did a great job on my cuticles, which were absolutely hideous beforehand. This was exactly what I needed, and at a great price!
If I’m ever visiting Chicago again, I would definitely return to Fingers & Toes.

Best nail salon ever! I come here weekly. I love Suzy and also Soon gives great massages. The owner Lou is very friendly and helpful. They have great Essie colors and they perfectly paint my nails, every time. If you’re in a rush they can speed it up but if you’re in the mood to relax they’ll take their time. The salon is one of the highlights of my week, and I recently started doing eyebrow waxes here too — they are great!

Positives: place was busy but I was able to walk right in for a mani/​pedi, they offer gels, conveniently near all the great shopping.
Negatives: didn’t get all of my last color off so it shows through some of my new french manicure, there are some small bubbles in my polish, they continuously tried to up-​sale on manicure.

My daughter and I love this place! They are always really busy but I can always walk in without an appointment and I can either get in right away or wait for about 5 to 10min. The staff are all so friendly and offer great services. I always walk out feeling great from their amazing massaging skills and beautiful results on my fingers and toes!

I was with my girlfriend who was in town and we wanted a little pampering for out fingers and toes, hence the name of the spa. I called ahead (45min) just to make sure we could get in right away when we arrived, I hate waiting at a salon if I can avoid it. They are located in a highly trafficked area, so it’s very likely they will be busy.
I had a mani/​pedi. The pedicure chairs… if you can even call them that, are a little uncomfortable. It’s literally a giant seat cushion that isn’t very supportive, I felt like I might fall into the foot bath at times. Aside from the seating, the actual pedicure was the best pedi I have EVER had, 5 stars! My lady was SO meticulous. I have runners feet, so they are pretty beat up, she really smoothed them out and went over my toes twice with the cuticle clipper. She always checked with me if I was okay with the water temperature, if the pressure was too much during the leg massage (which was also amazing especially on my calves) and if I liked the color when it was applied to my nails.
I had to bump it down one star because my friend told me she already chipped two nails the day after. However, mine lasted nearly a week without a chip. I’m beginning to wonder if certain nail polish brands hold up better than others?

I’m from out of town and stopped in for a much needed acrylic fill.
The nail tech did such a great job, exactly what I wanted AND suggested a crackle finish technique that I hadn’t seen before! My nails look fantastic!

I went in to get a gel fill in and get my eyebrows waxed. I recommend you go to Yen or Lan, they both do a wonderful job! Took their time, and are very friendly aren’t the kinds of Lady’s who who would get pissed off and charge you extra if you mess up your nails while getting them dried. Tools and work area are very clean. Although it is pretty expensive its worth it.

Cute place, really nice staff…
I got a Manicure & Brow Wax, super happy with both!!!

Who would have thought that there was a place on the Mag Mile, much less in the Hancock Building, where you could get a mani-​pedi for $ 45!!! Not the most luxurious mani-​pedi for sure, but perfectly decent, clean, and far far cheaper than anything else you’re going to find in that neighborhood.
Adding $ 10 for the «spa» pedicure (made the whole thing $ 55) wasn’t worth it. A lemony scrub and some really hot towels. And I mean REALLY hot.
I’d certainly go back.

While on a business trip, I realized my nails were broken from carting luggage through the airport. I was a walk-​in, and instantly treated to one of the best manicures I have had in a long time.
The staff was very friendly, the salon clean, and the atmosphere relaxing. On top of it all, the prices were excellent!
The salon was not fancy, but instead very comfortable, which is often more relaxing than high-​falootin’ places can be.
I feel very lucky to have found this salon and will make a repeat visit next time I am in Chicago!

I came here once about 3 years ago for a mani and pedi, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. The work was meticulous, and i felt really nice and relaxed. I raved about this place. Everyone was so nice and friendly.
That Christmas, someone bought me a mani/​pedi gift card from here. Sweet.
Well, like most giftcards, it went untouched in an old wallet for years. I found it, and called, and to my surprise… it was still good! Awesome!
I scheduled my appointment for 5PM on Dec 30. Ring in the new year with pretty fingers and toes, right?
The décor hadn’t changed. That’s right. In 3 years, the SAME. eh, whatever. I’m a fan of low brow places, but it just LOOKED old. No matter. The minute I sit in one of the spa chairs, the girl is trying to upsell me on a fancier treatment. No, lady, I’m here to relax, don’t tell me to spend more money. Furthermore, don’t point out WHY I need to pay for a more expensive pedicure. But overall, the toes, came out great.
On to the manicure. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That’s really all I have to say. I paid with the giftcard, so it’s like she suddenly lost interest in me as a customer? She breezed through, speaking in Chinese a mile a minute to someone that wasn’t helping anyone. Then in a really bizarre moment she asked me if I was Mexican? She said «you have hands like Chinese, but you look Mexican». No, lady, I’m Chinese. I get that she’s an immigrant, and I get that I look ambiguously foreign. But really, I’m here to treat myself and relax, I don’t want to explain to you why I look how I do?
Ugh
Never coming back.

You know those experiences you have where you have to do a double-​take and think «Did that just happen? Really?» That was Fingers & Toes, at least for me…
I went with a friend to get a manicure. The prices were reasonable, the location, great (obviously), and the shop, cute (bright colors, funky business cards, that kind of thing). I had called ahead for an appointment, which probably wouldn’t have been necessary, since the shop was completely empty and stayed that way for the hour we were there, but it’s good to be safe, I guess.
We walked in for our appointment and the woman pointed my friend to one tech and asked me to wait. While I was waiting, she turned to me and said, «Wow…you really need a waxing.» Wait? Whaaaa? Run that by me again? I was stunned into giggles, and besides, it was true, so I figured, Why not? She led me into the back room, and I wound up having to cover my face with my hands so that she didn’t just pour hot wax all over the entire thing and rip every follicle out by the root. (OK, obviously that’s an overstatement, but what was supposed to be a simple eyebrow wax turned into her badgering me about my upper lip and wanting to check out the state of the rest of me, as well.) In the end, I prevailed and managed to walk out with hair – including nicely done eyebrows – in tact, but she used too much wax and left a lot of residue behind. Bummer.
The gal who did my manicure was nice, talkative, and sweet. You didn’t feel like you had to make conversation, when I spoke to her, it didn’t seem forced in that customer servicey, i-​have-​to-​talk-​to-​you kind of way. They had a pretty average selection of colors (nothing exceptional, but hey, still lots to choose from). The manicure was just OK. My hands felt great, but the nail polish was a little sloppy and it chipped the following day. Again, bummer.
I’d actually go back, just for the location and to see if I get the same kind of brutally honest helpfully insulting kind of a thing before, because I’m sick like that and live for those moments. The place was clean, the people nice, and the experience… memorable, even if the end result was a little less than I’d hoped.

In Detroit, I’ve never paid over $ 12 for a manicure or $ 25 for a pedicure, and Fingers and Toes exceeded both of those limits. Despite being a wee bit pricey, they did a pretty good job on my nails. I went with my sister because we were in town for a wedding and they were able to fit us in right when we wanted. It’s also very clean. I worked in a dental office and they used the same machine to clean their instruments that the dental office uses (really powerful). I had my nails done on Saturday morning and they’re still perfect today (Wednesday). They had a wide selection of OPI and Essey colors and were extremely helpful in finding shades. The atmosphere is relaxing and the technicians are all friendly. All-​in-​all, I recommend Fingers and Toes Nail Spa to anyone either living in or visiting the Windy City.

i work in the hancock building, and so I tried out Fingers and Toes for a massage. It was great! The lady was so nice and did a great job.
I’d go there for a «20min tune-​up» massage on my lunch break: but not for another ½hour to an hour one again. I know that there has to be a different place that is a little bit better for the same price.
