Lily Nails Lounge

Lily did an amazing job on my nails! Very natural and beautiful, this is my new nail place!

Lily is my favorite nail tech because she’s a perfectionist and does a perfect job! I only wish they had 1 – 2 more nail techs to shorten wait times, even if you have an appointment you still may wait but it’s worth it nonetheless.

Got a no-​chip manicure and it was fine. They cut my nails a bit shorter than I wanted — basically cut them where I wanted them but then had to file them down so they’re on the shorter side.
Also, it was basically a polish change with some lotion… no ‘pampering’ here. Just efficiency. Nothing wrong with that, but I get my nails done as part of a little treat to myself. I would have been mad if I came here for a regular manicure since I could do that at home.
Overall, just fine. Nothing to go out of your way for. Wasn’t over the moon with my experience.

Pretty good for the most part. I came in 3 weeks ago to get acrylics and Lily did a great job! However she did not remove my cuticles which I thought was a bit odd, but my nails lasted this whole time! I’ll be going in sometime in the next few days for a fill in. The staff seems nice and professional, salon is clean. I definitely recommend this place.

Super nice nail technician. I like that it is near my house. Annoyed because I got the no chip but three days later it chipped. I’m on vacation to Paris and I got my nails done specially for this trip. Bummed out!

Lily’s nail lounge is amazing and always does a pretty job. They focus on the customer and take their time. The salon is very clean and always alcohols and sterilizes tools. It’s very modern and colorful inside. Very friendly staff that all do a great job.

Lily says it is open at 9:30 am online, the door says 10 am. I showed up at 9:30 to get a mani pedi before my brunch plans and was disappointed.

It was time to find a new manicurist and I wanted one close to home so I tried Lily for the first time last week. What a great discovery! Lily gave me an excellent pedicure complete with solving an ingrown toenail issue almost painlessly. My legs felt great. Then she did my nails exactly as I’d asked and all in less than an hour. I can’t say enough good about that visit. I have become her regular client after only one visit.

Lily is THE BEST at both nails and waxing! I’m a wardrobe stylist here in Chicago, and cannot recommend Lily and her team highly enough. The salon is clean, professional, friendly, and warm.

Such a friendly staff !! we got our nails done and eyebrows !!
The salon was closed by the time we finished. But even though they were closed they didn’t skip any of the steps in a manicure and didn’t hurry the service. They took their time and our nails looked great ! and our eyebrows !!
awesome staff !!!

I guarantee if you give this salon a try you will never go anywhere else as long as you’re in Chicago. Very comfy salon, sparkling clean, staff is friendly and convenient free street parking.
14 days after getting gel color mani & pedi, still looks fresh no cracks, chips, still perfect. The salon uses the best quality nail products & entire staff seem to take pride in their work and takes the time to ensure the best result possible.
This salon is owned by Lily who has always been probably one of the best nail techs in the business. I’ve followed her from various salons and she was the best at all of them. Formerly working at Wonder Nails, Lily’s hard work & excellent attention to detail has earned her own high quality nail & waxing salon.
Lily is very picky with whom she employs and all staff seems to follow her high expectations of quality nail service. I highly recommend this salon to anybody that loves perfect nails.

Yikes! I am surprised this place has any good reviews! The chairs are broken and jab into your back, the whole place feels grimy, their «hot towels» are old grubby cleaning rags, and the people seemed to all be in their own little world (at one point there were about 5 ‘workers’ just hanging out at the front of the store and yet they still made a girl wait for service). The girl that did my pedicure was so rough, I nearly scalded my feet with the water 3 times! She buffed them so hard that I have bleeding sores on my feet (for real!!!); she chopped the nails off after I asked for «barely any cutting»; and then she slapped on 2 quick cotes of polish and ran off to the next appt, leaving me to just sit in the chair to dry. I really couldn’t believe how terrible the experience was!

Stopped in here while traveling for work… Friendly nail tech and solid work. Had a pedicure, acrylic fill, and gel polish. The review was for T Nails in Libertyville… Not for the new location.

I had tried some other nail salons in the area and this is the best I’ve tried to date. The staff is very polite and professional. I had a French no chip manicure which has lasted 12 days so far with no chips, no peeling, and no bubbling. (I have never had a no chip manicure look so good for so many days, which I believe is due to rushing through the procedure and not taking the time required under the uv light after each layer of polish). All the work surfaces and tools were clean. My pedicure was also done meticulously-​one toenail was broken (too far to cut) and the technician took the time to fix it, which turned out perfectly. I would recommend this salon.

My original review was for T Nails in Libertyville. I don’t appreciate Lily Nails in Chicago taking the T Nails account a few months ago and my review and assigning them over to Lily Nails. I tried to delete my original review, and my account won’t let me do so. Shame on you.

I had a gift card and stopped in for the first time. I made an appointment and still waited for 20 minutes. The male manager was chatty and though nice a little overbearing at times. He did a lot of checking in with the very young technicians and would watch over their shoulders for several minutes. It made me even a little uncomfortable. Two of the technicians flirted almost the entire time I was there and I felt like my mani and no chip were on the sloppy side. Probably won’t go back though the prices were pretty low.

I think the lady I had wasn’t used to doing French tip nails because mine ended up kinda scraggly. After she painted the white tips she didn’t go over the edge with remover to make it smooth.
The store also reeked of incense. Very nice workers though.

I have finally found my regular place. I was so happy with the job Michelle did on my nails, artificial gel fill and a no chip on top with some nail art! Lasted perfectly! Love the fact that I can have some fun with my nails using color and art and then go back to my normal pink & whites.

Meh. I got a no-​chip manicure and a pedi. Three of us arrived on a Sunday afternoon and were able to sit right down next to each other, which was nice. (+) They have a lot of chairs. (+) Michelle was very nice, clean, and did a good job. (-) But I was disappointed that they charged extra for a salt scrub, most places include that. (+) They had a good selection of no-​chip colors, and I wasn’t rushed to pick one. (-) The finished product looked pretty good, but one of the nails had bleeding into the cuticle (I’ll post a pic so you know what I mean). This happens to me all the time when I do my own, but I expect more from a professional, especially for what I paid. Which brings me to the main reason I deducted stars. (-) I paid $ 58 without tip — too pricey! All-​in-​all: meh, I’ll only come back if I have a coupon.

Getting my pink & white fill in with my favorite nail tech for over 15 years!!! There is a reason I have followed her from Gurnee to her own salon in Libertyville. Tomi has always done such a beautiful job on my pink and white acrylic nails with a gel overlay, I get compliments daily!!! Love her and her gorgeous new salon in libertyville. It’s such an escape to come relax and visit… Leaving feeling refreshed and looking fabulous of course!
