Magic Nails

This place uses unclean utensils, razors on the feet which is illegal, and bad processes that cause fungus and ruin your nail bed! They use the drill which hides the bogus procedures. Their gel and acrylic are the same thing just priced more! The powder has MMA in it which is horrible for you and your nails! (Google MMA and nails of you want to see what it is and does). My recommendation is to go someplace else that actually cares for the health of your nails and not just making them look nice.

Very decent nail shop, they are pretty creative with their designs. I got a no chip and it seriously last!!! I live close by and visit them about once a month.

Well I tried them again and it is horrible. They use unsanitized, non sterile tools. The little loofa scrub things is almost worn out. The Magic Nail in Countryside opens a new pack of tools for every customer but I do know that most places just sterilize the tools in a machine but not this place. I see from other reviews further down others have noticed this also, sorry don’t want others fungus so I will be taking my business else where.

Got a no chip mani and a pedi plus the orange peel sea salt scrub the girl offered me for $ 5 more. They do pretty good work here compared to most shops I’ve been to in the near west side. I’ve been here twice and will keep coming. The staff is also very friendly.

Horrible service. 1^st visit they charged me for no chip polish when it was regular polish. I informed the nail tech and she asked who did my nails. I showed her the tech who did my nails and she asked her in their language. Then proceeded to tell me that she couldn’t prove she did my nails. I pulled up my bank statement to show the day I was there and she still refused to refund the difference. I asked could she take the extra few dollars off this visit and she told me no again. When I asked why not, she said told me to stop talking to her and get away from her. I will never go there again. And not to mention the quality of work isn’t top notch anyway!

Have been here a few times and I always get good service. I usually get acrylic fill it runs about $ 14. All the nail techs I have had have been good but today David did my nails and they are amazing !!! I get coffin shape and he managed to make every single nail look perfect! Already made my appointment to see him in 2 weeks for another fill!

Magic Nails is what I call my convenient nail salon.
It’s super close to my house and work. Despite the crowds sometimes, I never really end up waiting that long. They have a fairly large selection of polishes. Their prices are pretty average: $ 55 for a no-​chip mani, regular pedi, with a salt scrub massage (not including tip). And the staff are all very friendly and do a good job.
It’s just not my favorite salon. But it’s certainly better than other salons that I have tried in the West Loop.
The other West Loops salons I’ve gone to, I’ve always felt like I was part of a machine line, where they wanted me in and spit me back out. It doesn’t feel that way at Magic Nails at all.
While every time I’ve had a different Nail Tech, they’re all good, they make you feel welcome and it feels like they care to do a job well done.
Though, just yesterday I finally got Sam as my tech and he totally rocked it out! He’s relatively quick, but VERY efficient and you can tell he’s a perfectionist. Plus, he gave me an actual foot and leg massage, not just a gentle rub.
So all in all, I like Magic Nails.
Helpful tips: Definitely ask for Sam for excellent work. Also, be very careful in that parking lot. It’s ALWAYS packed, it’s chaotic, and people literally don’t look when they’re pulling in and out of spots.

$ 30 for meni pedi, not bad. This place has a massage chair, and the service is pretty good. The place is always crowded, so will recommend making an appoinment.

Sam is by far the best as he never disappoints. My no chip French manicure looks excellent. If you don’t mind waiting for Sam, it will be be well worth it. My only caveat is this; everyone should be like Sam so it doesn’t matter who services you.

This place is extremely busy. It does not matter what time or day you come here, there will always be a wait. However, my clear no chip manicures are always flawless. I don’t know the young lady’s name, but I alway sit at station #10. My nails have really grown and flourished since coming here. I’ve only been here twice, but I know I will continue to return. I go 1x month, that’s how long my no chip manicures last. Check them out If you’re in the area, and I promise they’ll have you running back. I’ve witness fair customer service, and quality work. No nonsense establishment, they get the job done if you’re willing to wait. There are hundreds of nail salons in Chicago, but non like this one. #MagicNailsChicago

There are plenty of nail techs that work here which makes the wait very small. I have only come in the morning so I am not sure how it is during other times or on the weekend. The work they do is pretty good and they have a large selection of polishes. I have only gotten a pedicure and I am satisfied and it is at a good price point.

Walked in Today (Tuesday) and was greeted and asked to pick a color right away. No wait time for the pedicure and it was really relaxing. Will be coming back and side note place is very modern lot’s of colors to choose.

This is a really good nail salon. I am so happy they opened one right near me! Mary, the owner is super nice and sweet!

I’ve been here twice the first time I loved my nails but the second time I hated them they were very busy and maybe it was rushed but it was sloppy my nails did not look not as neat as I like them I really could’ve done them at home and saved 30 bucks I’ll probably try them again since they are so conveniently close to where I live maybe I won’t go where they’re so busy

First time here…
I loved it! I got my pedicure done by Sam, and my nails and eyebrows by ivy (I think that’s her name). I waited after 5 days before I decided to write this review, and my gel manicure has not chipped! They seriously have a huge selection of gel polish to choose from which makes me so indecisive but I loved the color the lady recommended for me~~The place is also very cute and trendy. I’m bringing my girlfriends next time!

I was having a bad day & decided to stop in & get a no-​chip manicure. At first, I was worried because people were complaining about the prices. I then looked at the sign which specifically lists the prices, so don’t know why people were complaining. This isn’t the flea market where you can hustle the price.
Sam did my manicure & although he has a different approach, he did an excellent job. Precise and fast, yet the quality work was all there. I would recommend this place to friends.

Worst nail place ever. I got ignored when I First came in. Rude and crowded I should have left! Waited for ever just to get some novice to give me a half ass pedicure! Ugh! No chip was decent except that two days later my polish was getting DARK. Read through some of the other reviews and I’m not the only one with that problem. Ugh never again.

Great nail place! One of the best in Chicago area I’ve been to so far. I’ve been here a few times now and had a pleasant experience each time. Jennie does a great job when it come to no chip and pedis as well, the staff is friendly and they make sure you are satisfied with their work. My no chip lasts for a while and still looks good at 2 weeks. Will definitely continue going here.

I visited the salon as a walk in customer and was extremely disappointed in the quality of the service I received.
During my visit I found the manager or owner (a young lady) to be very condescending and rude. She asked my 3 times whether I had acrylic on my nails as they attempted to remove my no-​chip manicure. I assured her that I didn’t but she insisted as though I didn’t know. Next, she gave me directions on hand washing techiniques after my manicurist already gave instructions. Lastly, she thought it appropriate to alert me of my lack of recognition of shades of pink. Also, another customer walked in to complain about a recent visit. She used a low tone so you couldn’t hear the nature of the complaint. After she left, the manager told her colleagues, loudly, that the customer’s complaint was no fault of the salon. I thought that showed poor character.
I had my no-​chip for no more than 48 hours and the color began to change horribly. I will never return to this establishment.

Came in yesterday as a walk in. Initially I wanted a regular manicure even though they kept pushing for a gel manicure. I’m happy I went with gel she did such a good job and took her time. Go to Ivy she’s very sweet and patient. Only compliant I would say is if j want a regular mani let me be. But overall I think I found my go to place !
