Q Nails

Awful! awful!awful!stay away they tried charging me $ 25 for my nails and nails came off 2 days later! they where not even and she kept hurting my hand!

I am so grateful for this nail salon. After having a Nail catastrophe & storming out of RDC nail salon because they had no idea wtf they were doing I find this hidden gem open until midnight & they take me in immediately, this place knows what the heck they are doing. You show them a pic of the nails U want and they make it reality. I was so happy that Gina was able to safely remove the nails the other place put on without damaging my nails even more & doing such an amazing job on my pink & white. I will deff be coming back to this place. They are super awesome :)

I walked on a Sunday. Very slow they were just sitting and eating. The girl who helped
Me was on her phone and would go
In and out often while I was just
Sitting there; sort of odd I thought. I just needed a mani because I was short on time, anyways I think she did ok. She was fast but the awkwardness I felt of her running in and out and talking on the phone was annoying. Would I go back probably not my in law said that they are dirty and she got
Fungus from there. I totally believe it. I’m lucky I was the first one there and I hope they used new tools. Anyways find somewhere better. She did good but because of appearance I will not be back.

Avoid this place unless it’s a EMERGENCY
It’s a zoo in here. Employees are screaming back and forth. The only good thing there open til midnight. Employees work extremely long hours 9am-​midnight

I made an appointment and waited 50 mins., they were disrespectful and mean. They told me to come and sit down and then once I set down the girl told me to get up and she was going to take another client instead of me. It was three technicians and they were all rude, speaking in their language and laughing and didn’t want to take me. I feel they treated me mean and disrespectful because I’m black American. They had the worse customer service I’ve ever experienced. They yelled at me for asking for a specific person to help me. I felt embarrassed and mistreated. They are racist.

With all the respect people deserve, the only positivity I find in this place is that the people working there work a lot of hours and the lady I happened to get was very sweet.
This place can be a hit or miss very easily. If you happen to get lucky you will get great service overall; if not, you will be waiting for a very lengthy time while you have to be keeping tabs of when you’re next.
I am a germaphobe to an extent, I can tolerate certain things. However, I could not help but notice how unsanitary certain things were in this salon. I noticed they used some nail files repeatedly on others without completely cleaning them. I went because I was going out of town and I thought about this place because it is the only place open until 2am.
I asked for French tip and everything was crooked and chipped very fast.
By the time they were done I was so tired that all I wanted to do was leave.
Note to self: Don’t wait till the last minute to get your nails done because then you’ll be stuck going to places like these.

Tagged along with my mom and got a gel mani and pedi. Since she was referred by a friend to come here for pedi cleaning. Mom has been coming here for months and never had a problem.
Ask for Xuan when you come here. She did a great job on my mani and cleaning for pedi. Decent price for basic services with no massage spa pedi chairs.
The only negative was the gel heat machine was not the norm. Felt warmer than usual. Possible quality or my skin is just too sensitive for this particular brand of machine.
If your not looking for all the fancy spa chairs but good quality work for a decent price this would be a good place to come, plus they are open late. Just don’t expect everything to be perfect. I’ve been to other places and charged double for crappy work.

Love the fact that they at opened til minight. I come for a Basic mani and pedi. Service is ok. The first time I came I used their nail polish and within like 2 days it was chopping off. I now bring my own OPI nail polish. Last time I was here I got my very first gel mani– it could’ve lasted over 3 weeks even doing daily housework like washing dishes. I ended up peeling them off at the 3 week mark.
This is a cash only salon. wish they’d accept ATM
Overall satisfied.

Never again !!! There’s a reason why they’re open till midnight because they take forever! I needed a fill & pedicure & saw they were open late so I decided to try them out. I do my nails almond shape & one of my nails had broken when the lady tried fixing it she couldn’t shape it the right way. I told her & it seemed like she got upset & she began yelling saying to wait. I waited & she still didn’t fix it, the shape was totally uneven ! I told her to just stop because she began filing my other nails & was changing the shape of those too ! My pedicure was decent it was done by the man which is the only one who doesn’t do things in a rush. I do not recommend this place.

Horrible. Nails were filed unevenly, paint was applied too thick and smudged, also the paint was all over my hands. The woman used a toilet paper roll to raise my wrists! I can’t believe the complete lack of sanitation as well. The same buckets of water were used for pedicures from person to person. The same tools were used for every person for manicures and not even sanitized in between. I kept thinking the whole way through that maybe there would be some good part to mention, but there never was. The woman only put a top coat on 7 nails and walked away without telling me she was finished. Save yourself the $ 10 and go somewhere where they’ll do at least one thing right.

Been coming to Qnails for about 15 years now. It’s a little gem in the city of winnetka. It’s overly crowded at times so be sure to call ahead. Ask for Annie, she takes care of my complicated toes that sometimes want to Ingrow but with proper and regular pedis, everything is all good.

FYI
Negatives:
To start off like every other place in CA they will speak their obnoxious tangalala language non stop loud in your face.
CASH ONLY for obvious reasons THEY DONT PAY TAXES, OF COURCE chinitos codos
The workers will talk about you and make it obvious.
They do not use new tools they pass them on customer to customer.
They do not wash pedi stations.
They have cockroaches.
The place is very DIRTY be CAREFUL OF INFECTIONS FUNGUS as well.
Work is sucky old products.
BUT SERIOUSLY THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT TIPS BUT THEY DONT PAY TAXES… just saying Personally this is BS I don’t bother with shitty places like this. youre in this country as a and you’re stealing from it no wonder they drive around in Mercedes and… ugh so off topic anyway, you’re in a hurry, they are open late do it but be careful.
up to you, COME HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Not the best nail salon but they are very very nice! Cash only! Open late! Owner is so sweet!

Brownie points are: Open late (until 12 a.m.), the prices are reasonable and Annie is amazing at doing pedicures. Annie would be the ONLY reason why I continue to come to this nail shop aside from the other 2 factors. She takes her time and she’s some what of a perfectionist, not concerned with rushing to get to the next customer rather that you are satisfied with your pedicure.
NOW the downside to this shop is:
The other ladies (besides Annie) spend a lot of time bickering, arguing and fighting with eachother, that they tend to overlook the customers sitting and waiting for their turn. The head honcho of the Salon (eldest lady) is the ring leader of the arguments lol, yelling and nit picking with the others with no regards to professionalism. Whenever I come here I ALWAYS ask for Annie and won’t go to anyone else (from previous experiences no one is as good as her work), this has caused a bit of conflict with the ladies as they would pick on Annie because she tends to get customers who return and only come for her… a bit of obvious jealousy directed towards her. Another NOGO is I NEVER get my nails done here! I have gotten my nails done at this shop in the past and after maybe the 4^th full set that was not up to standard, they ran out of «tries» with me. Whenever I had gotten a full set here «at least» 1 nail popped off before the week was over, and I found myself cashing out too much $$ too often to repair a nail every time I had them done here. I am not sure if their nails are not of good quality or if they are stingy with the acrylic to keep business flowing lol go figure. I now have 2 nail salons I go to, Q-​nails ONLY for Pedi’s and my other ONLY for nails…

Went in for nails full set it was horrible job !! Don’t spend money here for full set the mailed started chipping the same day! And service was horrible ! She didn’t buff my nails right so the fake nail looked bad and the polish didn’t even want to stick she blamed my nails !!! I said okay and walked out

Been going here for 10+ years and these ladies are hardworking, polite employees who scrub some nastay lookin feet out there !!! –for only $ 12!!! I, for sure, wouldn’t scrub, dig out toenail questionable stuff for that much money… but these ladies and occasional gents who work here, do!!!
NOTE: I’ve NEVER gotten a nail infection from this place ;) –YAY!
…so what if they don’t have fancy spa chairs! …and don’t expect fabulous décor or ambiance. Just the basics.
I’m loyal to them for primarily the the amazing service. LOVE these ladies here-​they ask about my family, remember details about my life that I’ve shared with them –really personal service. I really appreciate personal connection (s).
Another reason why you should go there is because they do beautiful, lasting job on a French mani/​pedi, gel manicures are only $ 23, and one can get your nails did at 11pm if you wanted to! :)

I am here right now and im LIVID, this place is terrible. Called at 7pm asking for at 9:30 nail fix, ONE NAIL. came at 9:30, waited until 10 to be noticed. why say okay 9:30 if I’m going to come & wait?
The best part is I finally get in the chair. i repeatedly have to tell them my nails arent fake and i dont need a fill. She puts an acrylic on my finger CROOKED and way longer than the matching pinky thumb, how can u be a nail profesional and cant compare length or angle. then there BEGGING for me to get additional service when they cant even shape a stiletto nail!
THIS PLACE IS TRASH, open late or not, just wait for ur regular place to open up

Overall, I would give this place a 3.5 but I have to give it 3 stars because half stars do not exist yet on Unilocal.
The location itself is a bit on the «ghetto side» but there is a good amount of parking so that is never a hassle. It is around a lot of food places so you can just grab a bite to eat before or after you’re done. Because it is next to a middle school, there is a lot of kids around after 2 so if that bothers you I recommend to come at a different time. Again it has great parking so you don’t have to worry before hand and gives this place some of it’s points. When it is busy it’s not so bad, they try to attend you as fast as they can, but it generally is not packed all the time. However this sometimes backfires because they often mess up your manicure or pedicure. You can just come back in case it is overpacked and they will recognize you and take you in account.
The price and hours are overall pretty good, that is mainly the reason why I still come here. Twenty dollars for a manicure and pedicure is a great price, and in the end they do get the job done. It is a 24 hour place, and that is really rare for nails. I guess you could say it is the fast-​food for pedicures or nails. I’m sure this comes in handy for many if they only have time at night, I know it has for me. However I only look for Annie since she is the best one there. She is really nice, cleans the cuticles and hang nails well, and does great designs. I highly recommend asking for Annie, I do not stay unless she is there.
Last but definitely not least, the service. It really is a hit or miss with this location, and you can never really predict how you will be treated. It is the stereotypical nail place where they all speak a foreign language to each other while none of their customers understand. A majority of the workers speak a minimal or somewhat amount of English so it is common to have a communication barrier. The inside itself is overall okay, they don’t have actual pedicure seats (the spa kind) so if you are looking for that, then find another nail place. Instead they just use a random rectangular container to put your feet in which sort of ruins the experience of getting your nails done but hey, with that price how can you complain. They sometimes rush it and it is very noticeable if they are busy. I understand since they are busy however they have made me bleed at times because of this.
Overall if you just want to get your nails done just to get them done, I recommend this place because it will not hurt your wallet. However if you want to feel pampered or anything like that, spend a couple of more dollars and find somewhere else.

I went to do my nails this morning here. I got the basic french tip mani/​pedi n they charge me $ 24 for both. The lady, named Annie, did my nails and i’m pretty impressed on how she did it. The pink top coat wasnt too pink or too neutral.
I think the only bad thing was she didnt cut my long nails so my left and right nails arent even.

Cheap. And for a reason. My nails are rough and still dirty after a long Sunday. I was really in need and everywhere else was closed on a Sunday at 7:30 pm.
The technicians hands were disgusting and I wish I never sat down…
