Taday Nails & Spa

I’ve been coming here for years, it’s been one of the only nail salons in the area that did decent work (not great, but decent). I settled here because I’ve tried numerous salons in the area and they were pretty horrible. There have been some EXCELLENT nail techs working here, but they never stay very long. As of right now, the only one there that does great, careful, lasting work is John (as it pertains to gels and acrylics).
This place is great when you can get the only good nail tech, it’s nightmarish if you get anyone else. For the last three visits, I’ve been either too busy to wait 2 hours for John or very kind, giving up my seat to someone who made an appointment (which they never seem to actually keep here) so they wouldn’t have to wait nearly two hours past their appointment time for me to finish (I care more about patrons than the owner apparently).
Since I’ve been allowing other nail techs to do my nails, the quality of my nails has been steadily deteriorating, getting thinner and more ragged around the edges (I wear nylons often so it’d be nice to be able to touch them without one of the many jagged edges of my nails to rip a hole in them).
I haven’t had this problem up until recently, because before I was willing an able to wait for John, but like I said I’ve been either busy or felt bad for the other customers… but techs here drill the entire nail, and only replace acrylic at the bottom (fill area) of the nail… Now, you don’t have to be learned in any branches of advanced science to know that if you take away from something without replacing, eventually their will be nothing there… The owner tries to Jedi-​mind trick you of other wise.

I love Linda. She was so sweet and gentle with my feet. I was looking to pay a fortune at a spa because I wanted quality service. However, u got the service I wanted right around my house. Sweetheart is the best. He told me exactly what I needed to do for my hands, since I struggle with dry cuticles. I’m so glad I found a place who actually takes the time with me. I always want a business to grow but as told by others, quality is better than quantity.

This is the worst nail shop in the world. I would not recommend anyone ho there. The own is very rude and disrespectful. They are unorganized. I hate that I ever wasted my time going there. I can’t wait u til the day the close it down.

If my mani and pedi hadn’t taken 1 hour and ½ to complete, this place would be rated 5 stars. I came around 4pm on a Friday afternoon (they were surprisingly without many customers) and was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. These ladies and gentleman are quick to take care of you, but my woman was very particular about her work. In the end, I do prefer someone slow paced and excellent versus someone fast paced and sloppy, but I had to get out of there; it’s Friday!

I’ve been here several times to get my eyebrows done, and each visit ends in worse and worse eyebrows. I have thick eyebrows that I like to get shaped and waxed, and EVERY time I come here my brows are waxed way too thin. At this point I’m just done and will find a way to master waxing my eyebrows at home.

This is my second time here. And today I was in a panic because all the nail shops were crowded. They were too but they have enough ppl so that the wait isn’t long. I came right and was seated. Which I love because I’m on a tight schedule. The girl who did my pedi was super nice which I noticed about most of the staff. The guy at the front is super professional and efficient. I’ll def be back.
Keep up the good work. =}

They are really cute– my only issue was that I got my feet done first and they ran out of polish so I couldn’t get the same polish on my nails.

Very bad customer service. They are not nice at all. they do dont quality work. They are packed but dont treat there patrons as they should. I wouldn’t recommend this shop to anyone. they guy at the front is rude as hell.

Best nail shop ever Best Pedis ever! Not that great at polishing! But good nails and pedis

I never go anywhere else to get my nails done. My no-​chip lasts 3 weeks or more sometimes. This place consistently gives great service and I’ve never had a bad experience in over 3 years. It’s a complete waste of time to go anywhere else other than Taday in Chicago.

Not impressed at all with quality of service. I ended up getting a no chip which I didn’t want because they thought they could do that better than a colored liquid gel that I had gotten done previously.
They couldn’t explain articulately what service was being done. Needless to say I won’t return though it is 2 minutes from my house.

I’ve been getting service here for over a year, and Tuan is the best hands down. There’s no other salon with such a friendly staff, clean environment, and fresh popping colors to choose from. His technique is up to date and in keeping with the latest look, and he makes sure each client feels special. I can’t say enough about the customer service as well as the professional job that I receive every time I visit. Do yourself a favor… treat yourself to a mani/​pedi at Taday Nail Salon… you won’t regret it.

Sooooo… this is what happened. You tell me if this is good work I asked for elegance and they gave me sloppy! And then charged me $ 52.This is some bull shit. I’m getting married Friday… I asked them dose this look like wedding nails… The person that did it wants to put it back on the customer. The colors are pretty but it’s your skills that are tacky and unprofessional

I have been on a quest for «my nail spot» since moving to Hyde Park last Labor Day and I think I’ve found it. Sandy did my no-​chip mani and normal pedi. I went as a walk-​in around 6:15 p.m. It was busy and there were about two other ladies waiting. But I did not have to wait too long. I liked the facility, the staff, and the overall experience. Now I just have to see how long the no-​chip will last. But, I think I’ve finally found my «glass shoe.»

Came here for a no chip since its close to work and open until 7:30. Tall young skinny guy with glasses did my no chip and did a great job. They were swamped and always are. THIS MEANS THEY DO GOOD WORK. Always busy translates to returning customers. Prices are cheaper than what I pay by my house. I came back a week later to get a pedicure and again totally swamped with customers. I don’t mind waiting because I know they will take their time on me. Jennifer did my pedicure and did a great job, even at 6:45pm which is the tail end of her day. If you have the time to wait, come here. Call a day ahead and make an appointment. They won’t disappoint.

Today was my first time at Taday
I got a no chip & gel overlay manicure and a regular pedicure I absolutely love my nails, prices were reasonable compared to other salons & for the quality of the work, he did exactly what I asked of him on my nails & the young woman did great on my feet.
my only complaint is the SUPER long wait time, (I was there for over 2 hours) but now that i know better I will call ahead and schedule a appt.
you can also request who you would like to service you!
cool ambiance & all the clients seemed to love everything and they have lots of regulars. I will be back!

This is a decent spot. I think I make it easy on them since I only request a very simple pedi whenever I go.
I like Mai (I believe is her name). She had to put a little extra work in on my feet and she did it gracefully :)
Just your average shop, it gets very busy, even on weekdays at certain times.
I don’t make appointments, just walk in and I typically don’t wait too long before being seen (max was an hour, right before easter).

I stopped by the salon at 6pm to see what time the salon closed, which it states 8pm! I came back at 7:45pm to get my nails done, soon as I open the door the guy at the first booth yells without looking we are closed. I asked him what did he say he yelled again without looking up and says we are closed. I replied the signs says 8pm, he replied we take our last client at 7:30pm! I replied I’ll take my dollars elsewhere, he replied that’s fine!
This is totally unacceptable if you take your last client at 7:30pm, then your signage should state 7:30pm, not 8pm!
I’ll take my business elsewhere, a lack of customer service and consideration. I drove 25mins to come to this salon because I am moving to the neighborhood and was told they had a great variety of colors but will absolutely not patronize a company that hs a lack of care for their clients!

This was my first time at this salon and I must say it was nice. I came in at 7:45 I was unaware that they stop accepting customers at 7:30 but they still let me get serviced. I waited no more than 5 minutes and was serviced by Sam. She was really nice. But she was a little to social which caused her to get distracted and be a little rough on my nail beds. I flinched a few times. She did do a great job on my nails though! I really hard when the acrylic is built up on the nail so high making it look swollen and she didn’t do that. She didn’t pile on the acrylic which made my short stiletto nails look much better. She also did my pedicure and I almost fell asleep it was so nice. She even popped my toes!!! I love when salons do that it relaxes you more.
I brought in my own nail color because I didn’t know if that had a good selection but I glanced at the wall and they had so many amazing colors.
The owner twan is very popular you can tell by the conversations he was having. And they have a $ 2 discount per service if you use cash. I paid $ 41 cash for full set and pedicure. I will definitely be back here.

I live nearby but this was the first time I stopped by. The place is clean and the service quick and very meticulous… And I’m super picky about those things. All of the staff were really friendly and they even gave me a mask because the fumes were bothering me.
My gel nails are perfectly sculpted and the gentleman that helped me really inspected the shape, length, and eventually polish of each nail. The pedicure was also more than I expected for the price, my feet are suuuper soft. I’m getting lashes also and after seeing the lady in front of me I expect they will be equally impressive! I will definitely be back!
