French 4U

Found this place on Unilocal after sloppy job my previous nail place did. .they took me on the same day I called and my pedicure stayed for a long time, will come neck again!

Not a pleasant experience! I go to salons all over the nation because of work travel, and this is at about the bottom of my list. The massage was even painful, let alone the foot scrub. The tech used her fingernail instead of a tool or q-​tip to get the extra polish off my shin from the over-​painting, and she dug into my skin.
The shoulder massage at the drying station lasted about 60 seconds — would have been better off without it.
Can not fathom how this place has 4 stars.

Always a consistent job. Enjoy the neck and shoulder massage that is included with treatment.

Great place, they keep it very very clean. Both my friend and I’s mani-​pedis were excellently perfect and nice people! And we didn’t suspect that they were talking about us in another language ;)

They don’t charge for no chip removal and they are very thorough with their pre manicure cleanup! They have a huge selection of colors and even palettes that show you what the colors will look like on your nail which is very useful. I ended up going with a blueish color with some silver sparkle on the fourth finger. They give you a massage at the end! Everything cost me only $ 35, which is a deal. Make sure you bring cash to tip them :)

Quick, easy, cheap, and clean. What more could you want from your local nail salon? The staff is actually incredibly nice, as well. They know the names of half of the customers who walk in the door, meaning they have a lot of regulars.
They also give great back massages while you’re getting your nails done. There are a lot of other perks they throw in under the classic manicure/​pedicure cost, as well. From what I can remember it includes a scrub, hot towel treatment, etc.
They do a great job with super short nails, and generally only chide me once per visit. (I’m used to getting yelled at non-​stop because I bite my nails). I usually make appointments in advance, although there are a lot of walk-​ins. My pedicure has lasted for weeks now.

I was in the area and decided to try out this nail salon for the first time. While I am very picky with how people do my nails, I got just a basic manicure and I have to say French 4U went above and beyond to do an outstanding job! I have very short nails and they were able to accommodate that no problem. They give one short hand massage and two mini neck and shoulder massages as well as use hot towels on your hands and a wonderful smelling hand scrub for just the standard price of $ 15. As far as the polish went, they were very precise and careful with a high level of professionalism. French 4U also has a very clean, zen, and modern. interior. They were friendly and very grateful. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would definitely recommend!

I love this place for so many reasons! I can always get an appointment when I need one and they usually run on time so the waiting is minimal if at all. They are friendly greeting you by your name, such a great touch, you feel like you belong there. The color selection is second to none-​so many to choose from and all the latest additions to the top brands, OPI, Essie. The place is clean, as are ALL their instruments and foot bath stations-​which is a must. They have a punch card which entitles you to a free manicure when full. So, French 4U is well worth a try.

I have been here 3 times now and had a different person do my nails each time. I have not been disappointed! All the ladies seem to be extremely detailed and take their time. I have gotten mani/​pedis and a no chip which have all lasted long and were very nice. Lots of polish colors and new collections. Also the back rub I got was amazing, they even put a hot towel on my back which was really relaxing after a long day at work. I’m so glad I live so close to this place because I am hooked!!!

While they are always nice here, I only come here when I’m absolutely desperate and because its close to work. They try to rush the job and quality is not their top priority.

Best pedicure I’ve had in awhile! It was only $ 30 and included a massage chair, leg & foot exfoliation and massage, a beautiful polish and lovely service. She even massaged my back when she walked me to the drying area. I highly recommend it! Clean, reasonably priced, and great service.

Very disappointed. I have been here 4 times. I had one good manicure and then 2 bad ones and a bad pedicure. Polish started coming off of my toes the next day.
But what really ticked me off was during my last visit, I had my 9 year old daughter will me. While getting my pedicure, I asked if my daughter could get a manicure. There was no one waiting in the salon. After some discussion in another language, I was told «no». I said that I would pay full price — not a kiddy price. An Asian women with short blond hair said «no». I asked why and she shrugged her shoulders at me like she didn’t understand.
So, 20 minutes later while I am sitting and waiting for my nails to dry, another woman walks in with her daughter. They are both seated and get pedicures. I had to explain to my daughter why the other girl could get her nails done but she couldn’t.
If the salon was packed, I might understand. Maybe. But this was totally unacceptable behavior. They could care less about customer service. Don’t waste your time here — there are much better salons.

I was in Lincolnshire visiting my grandma and didn’t want to sit in traffic on the way back to the city so I just cruised around the neighborhood until I found a nail salon. This place looked like any other so I decided it would be ok. It was seriously so much better! It was fairly busy and I wanted a mani/​pedi but only had to wait a few minutes and as soon as I dunked my feet into the water, I realized I forgot to pick a color. But I told my nail technician, Jenny, that I wanted a light pink and she picked the perfect shade. Then, during my manicure, she rubbed my hands and arms for almost 5 minutes and even rubbed my shoulders and put a hot wet towel on the back of my neck. It felt amazing. I have never been to a place that did that. All in all, I would definitely make the trip back again. It was absolutely well worth it. Everyone was genuniely sweet and Jenny was great. She talked to me and told me to stop biting the skin around my nails in a very cute motherly tone. Awesome experience. :)

The absolute Worst!!! I had an acrylic full set (as I very often do) and they all started peeling off the next day! I looked ridiculous on my vacation! I have to fix it myself because they refuse to… 10 days later and they’re all at least halfway peeled off. Pedicure was terrible too.

My wife and I go to this salon every week because she just loves this place. My mother loves this place also. Its very clean; my wife says its way cleaner than the other salons that she has been to. I’m an Interior Designer and because of that, I tend to look at the constructions and the interior of the building. And I think the interior is very delightful. The dryer, pedicure chairs (by the way, these chairs are very very nice. We love sitting there and getting the massages), the paintings, walls, chairs, and everything are just perfect and clean. I don’t really know about how they do on the manicures and pedicures, but my wife and my mother thinks its the best one they have ever been to. So I’m guessing its really good.
fyi, if you’re looking for this salon in a phone book, you’ll have to look for «CORPORATION NAME: LOVEU INC. (DBA: FRENCH 4U)»

I work in the same plaza, so coming here would have been convenient. I went here once a while ago for fills and a pedicure. Not bad, but more expensive than most places I’ve visited. I did, however, receive a punch card.
I decided to give it another shot…
Me: «hi!»
Her: «hiiii how can I help you?»
Me: «fills, please.»
Her: «oh noooo. Not today! Sorry!»
What?! It was empty! No explanations, either.
For shame! I’m VERY upset. I’ll take my business elsewhere. French 4U would have had a repeat customer. So sad.

if this were in the city… i wouldn’t Unilocal it as i wouldn’t want to let the secret out…
i went here with my 2 sisters the day before my wedding. this isn’t your day spa but it’s better than your «$ 35 special» nail place that dot chicago’s neighborhoods. i already had my nails done but i kept staring at my fingers and they just weren’t perfect enough. any other day… fine…move along. but your wedding day should be close to perfect. my sister asked if they could do a «polish change». they were pretty busy but when they found out i was a bride-​to-​be, the owner made herself available and gave me the most PERFECT french manicure. it was just the right thickness and flawless. the added bonus — a shoulder massage :) and another bonus… a $ 15 gift certificate. they wouldn’t even accept payment for my polish change! they are so very sweet and my sisters go their often and they always remember them. if i wasn’t such a city dweller, i would be a regular — no doubt!

Better than your average nail salon! I have been coming here on my lunch breaks at work for over two years, but it has recently come under new management and is now even nicer. They replaced all the nail stations to have granite countertops and really comfortable chairs, and the pedicure thrones are all new and very high-​end. The nail technicians are extremely professional and polite, and will actually converse WITH you instead of gossip about you to their coworkers in their native language. Also, my technician took a little longer with my mani, but she was extremely meticulous and gave me one of the best manis I’ve had in a long time. Another nice perk is that they give you a shoulder massage while your nails are finishing up under the dryer :) For $ 15, the manicure is a good deal combined with great customer service!
