Spa Anjou

I visited this location on ¹⁄₃₁ for a pedicure and a no chip. The spa was very cute and clean and the staff was very professional. However my no chip started chipping and lifting yesterday (²⁄₃). No chips are supposed to last more than 3 days.

I went to this place this week since it is in my moms building and was convenient. I needed a mani. I hadn’t been to this place in a year and thought I’d give it a try. There are about 4 mani/​pedi places within a 2 block radius. Bad move.
Come to find out there is a reason this place is always empty — one of the manicurists was so rude! I was waiting in the waiting area and had a couple of bags — the woman called across the room and flagged me over (I think her name was Kelly) no help getting there from her. Then on my way there I dropped a polish since my hands were full. She scoffed and reminded me to pick it up once I sat down.
No offer of tea or water — she did not introduce herself or even smile. Then, she asked if I wanted my nails short or long — I told her before I decided I wanted to see the colors. She curtly stated «I asked you if you wanted them short or long.»
At that point I said, «that’s it, I want another nail tech or I’m leaving.» At this point she finally looked at me and said «fine, whatever.» Someone else did my nails — unremarkable.
When I left I complained to the receptionist. As I walked by the place when I left the woman was looking at me and laughing. Wow.
Also, when I paid cash. I gave $ 25 for a 20 $ bill. I expected to be brought back 5 singles. The manicurist kept all. I’m a good tipper — I did find that a bit presumptuous.
Never going here again — just walk up the block to pure rain like usual. Good luck with bad service Spa Anjou — you’ll need it.

Most of the reviews here are for manicures, but what brought me into Spa Anjou was a Brazilian wax. I had to cancel my appointment at the spa I usually go to get waxed the day before, so the next morning I booked an appointment at Spa Anjou to get a wax just an hour after I called, so availability seems to be great!
I have gotten Brazilian waxes many places around the city as I would just go to mostly anywhere that offered a good groupon, so I have had my share of terrible experiences to really great ones, but I would actually say my wax today at Spa Anjou was the best I have ever had. Amy took her time and was very meticulous to completely get everything but did it in a way that was still fast and a lot less painful than most places I have been. She also has a very sweet personality and conversation was very nice the whole time which made the experience much more comfortable.
I paid $ 55 as a first-​timer here, but if you get waxed regularly you MUST go here as a regular because if you come back within 40 days, the wax is only $ 35!!! I booked my next appointment right after for that reason. I’m extremely happy I came into Spa Anjou today.

My no chip manicure chipped on 4 of my nails the very next day. I came back to get it fixed and instead of taking the no chip polish off my whole nail she just polished over the spots and you could clearly see it. What needed to be done was the polish needed to be taken off the whole nail and re-​done. 3 hours later the polish came off the spot she re-​polished! I wasn’t doing any cleaning or anything that would cause the polish to come off. I get no chip manicures all the time and never have I had it chip the next day what’s the point of paying $ 45 versus a $ 15 regular manicure. Many other nail places that do a great job and are cheaper. Also, they have very few no chip color options. The place is cute and staff is nice but don’t think I would come back.

My first visit to this nail salon. Very clean place with a tasteful décor, nice music and professional atmosphere. They did really good job with our manicures and waxing. We’ll be coming back.

I had a wonderful experience here. I must say my manicure looks great and the my manicurist was fantastic. I truly felt like I was at the spa and felt relaxed. They have low key music playing and its so quiet, no loud talking or anything. I can’t wait to return to this place.

I visited this nail salon first for a brow wax. Amy did a great job! The following day, a pedicure and gel nails. They did a good job but the service is very basic.
The staff is friendly and the establishment is very clean but it’s a bit over priced. Usually anywhere else I’ve visited through out the U. S, 65 – 75 dollars with tip gives me a gel set and pedicure. This includes (hot towels for your legs, callus removal and lotion). Gel nails included detail cortical removal and nail shaping once the gel is applied.
This is a nice place but the service doesn’t match the price.

Spa Anjou is my go-​to place for a pedicure. The atmosphere inside is very relaxing, quiet, and warm. They play good music and have comfy spa chairs. I always get a nice leg massage as part of the pedicure. There are lots of OPI and Esse colors to choose from. Be sure to make an appointment — they don’t take walk ins!

Attention to detail on my pedi — and the music adds. Relaxing touch — thank you

Very professional, sanitary and friendly. They all take pride in their work and schedule mainly by appointments, which I love. Their establishment is so clean and neat with very relaxing music playing over the loud speaker. They charge a little more than what I’m accustomed to paying, but it’s worth the extra money.
Their no chip mani lasts for weeks and they actually give you a real foot and hand massage. Many nail salons don’t do that anymore and if they do it lasts for five seconds. I’m hard to please and I’ve been going to the same nail salon for ten years, but after coming to Spa Anjou I’m never going back to my old stomping grounds. I recommend Maria and Duku. But, I hear they’re all really good here.

I didnt get the name of the girl who did my nails but she was a young girl with cute freckles on her face. She was very impersonal with no words, which I didnt really mind but when I asked for wifi password or to take off my cuticles more thoroughly she just answered «ok» and didnt really follow through. I paid $ 45 for regular mani and pedi and extra $ 10 for taking off my previous gel polish. After drying my nails I took a good look at my nails and I couldnt believe i just spent 2 hrs sitting there to get such a nasty mani. my cuticles were still intact! but before I could say anything she was out the door. Its the shottiest mani job I’ve ever paid for and it was not worth spending my $ 60 or time here. Never coming back.

This is such a cute place and so close to my apartment I was hoping the Brazilian waxing would be better. She was so friendly but I think that the entire top layer of my skin was waxed off. One of the most painful experiences ever. I went 2 times to see if the first time was a fluke, but it wasn’t. I will not return for a wax, but will for other services!

Best no-​chip I’ve ever had. Hands down.
Went back again and can confirm it was not a fluke. Got an awesome no-​chip + pedi.
Bottom line, Nima is awesome and does a beautiful job.

Didn’t want to give me service that I was requesting for even though I got there 1hour and 10 minutes before they were closing.

Great place with a very relaxing environment but I felt for a $ 45 mani/​pedi it was very very basic but no perks at all.
Also now three days later and I have three chipped nails. And all of the nails look like I got the manicure two weeks ago

First time here and I decided this is my place for nails. Emma, she is the one who did. Sooo perfect. My OCD approves I did Cajun shrimp gel nails. The price is comparatively less and the job is perfect. I will recommend to my friends. Feeling happier after doing a manicure here where most of the manicures I don’t get that

This place seems great for mani/​pedis.
Unfortunately, I had the first layer of skin removed in three rather significant chunks from my upper lip due to a lip wax (photo with patch dimensions posted).
I’ve visited three times for similar services and never had this problem before. I think the aesthetician just left the wax on too long and ended up ripping skin off, too.
I called and explained what happened when I notice after getting home, they had me come back in to see what happened. She thought it was because I use acne creams, (no retinoids though) and apologized several times, mentioning that she should have asked before my appointment services began. I’ve been using acne creams for almost a decade though and have Never had this happen before!
These ladies are super sweet, but I think she just left the wax on Way too long, or the temperature was too cold? They did give me my money back, apologized for the incident, and thanked me for coming back in, but I probably won’t be coming back.

Very nice, relaxing environment to get a manicure (the only service I’ve received here.) My no chip mani was great– the technician was very thorough, attentive and careful. My nails look great and aren’t chipping or peeling anywhere, which is the first time I’ve had a no chip last this long (over a week good as new!) I’ll definitely be coming back. (I didn’t give 5 stars because my go-​to nail salon goes above and beyond when I get a mani/​pedi by offering a free neck and shoulder massage while my nails are drying, hot tea/​water with refills, and more personalized service. I didn’t experience this here, but was very satisfied overall.)

This humble nail place has great prices and a slightly old hollywood vibe. A standard manicure is only $ 15, but the work is great. They have a great selection of colors including the newest rollouts from Essie and OPI. I love that you can see the sanitizing machines too! No tools will be dropped on the floor and re-​picked up here.
There is a bit of a language barrier with the manicurists and my nails were cut too short for my liking, but I’d go back again. Nice little salon in Printer’s Row hood.

The décor is modern but still inviting. They also have the softest chairs for when you get a mani. There are a couple of TVs around the store, as wells as magazines on the coffee table to keep you entertained. Prices are reasonable — $ 40 for no-​chip/​gel mani that lasts.
I am pretty pleased with the results. The girl who did my nails wasn’t chatty and got right to business. There were so many steps that I don’t even remember, but that must be a good thing right? Clip, file, wipe, file more, cut cuticles, lotion… etc. rinse and repeat. Very detail-​oriented and careful. In fact, my nails are still holding up 2 weeks later. Although there are tiny chips, it’s in good shape considering how often I wash my hands. (see the 0 weeks and 2 weeks picture below)
