T-Nails

This is the place to go to in Jefferson Park to get your nails done. I’ve tried many places in the area and this is the once I keep coming back to. I’ve come here for manicures and pedicures and both last for far longer than I anticipate (and we’re talking your regular manicure, not no-​chip), which is always ideal. I recently popped in on a Saturday for a pre-​wedding mani/​pedi (not my wedding) and got in right away. However, you can tell they have a loyal customer base, as the place filled up shortly after I got there. I recommend calling to make sure they have open spots.
The place is very clean, the selection of colors is good, and it doesn’t appear they use too much thinner in their polishes. And maybe this is TMI but it’s something I really appreciate… my nail tech cut out a huge ingrown that I didn’t even know I had in my big toe and showed me how big it was. It was very oddly satisfying.
The only thing I’d change is what they’re showing on TV… infomercials galore when I was there. However, I did learn about how Jane Seymour, Olympic swimmer Dana Torres, and various other middle-​aged women are remediating age-​related wrinkles (skin-​creping, the infomercial is life-​changing).

I give this salon 5* because of the service Sam provides. Very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. Really good at his nail services, he’s rarely ever touching up a mistake. Pricing is more reasonable here than I have found anywhere else in the area. If you choose T nail salon, I suggest you ask for Sam if he is available. Otherwise call and reserve.

Let’s not get things twisted, I like to keep proper. By proper my mean nails manicured. I am a big fan of T Nails. Their shop is clean and beautiful. Their people who work there are really friendly and are very skilled in keeping your nails proper. My go to guy is Sam. He is so friendly and really makes sure my no chip manicure is flawless, time and time again. My mother in law goes to Tina, and she loves her.
I have had some disaster no chips from other places but i am so happy with their service. The prices are great and dont forget to bring cash for your tip because they dont take it on the card (they still accept credit cards, just cant put a tip on there).

This is my favorite nail salon. I have been going here for years and they do a fabulous job with no chip and my pedicure. Very affordable compared to other places and friendly as well. Highly recommended.

I went to this salon for over a year till they started getting sloppy. I went in one day to get some nails fixed. I sat down showed her what I needed and got a look of” What?”. She did a horrible fix job. I told her that it did not look right and this was not acceptable. She had to call someone on the phone talk to them and then tell me to come back in an hour. REALLY? I walked out and never returned.

Took a last minute chance at a pedicure on Sunday !!! Very nice and accommodating ! Lots of colors to choose from too !!

Their nail work was fine. I was just blown away that the technician asked me if I just had a baby. I have never had a child and I was offended. Im not sure why someone would feel the need to ask such a question, so rude. They will never get my business again.

Quite possibly the worst manicure/​pedicure I’ve ever received.
The woman painting my nails was rude and abrupt. She played on her phone throughout the mani/​pedi (including while wearing wet gloves mid-​pedicure).
My no chip manicure was bump filled and peeled within two days.
While it is less expensive than other nail salons, it was a total waste of money.

Sam has always been great when it comes to no chip! Called to asked if he was in & said I would be there at 5pm. Get there to get another lady & told her I asked for Sam. Was ignored so done pedicure then when it was time for nails I asked again for Sam. I was told I should have asked. I said how many times do I need to ask? She told me I could wait for him but I said I’m not waiting around for him to finish someone else… just do it. Nails were not even filed down right & I bet it won’t even last 1 week. Guess I will find another place to go.

Never disappointed clean, friendly, quality work!
Great selection of polish and more no chip choices then anywhere I’ve seen

The ladies are always nice to me. Clean place that makes my nails look amazing at a great price.

They Did Really Good Work. Only downside was that i got fungus. .sometimes the wait was long but hey that’s life. The owner did fantastic work. His attitude was shitty. I walked out in the middle of a service. Sorry. :-(
I stopped going because I got Foot Fungus. but also because I waited so long for a service, that I had to go I had a haircut app across town. Long story short they offered to charge me 4 my Many pedi and have me return for the manicure.. sweet lord, tony was pissed when I refused the offer.. If you have other commitments then, you have a limited amount of time, not a big deal. However that particular day 5 clients walked out they became angry. Not my fault. They should have told me, that they were booked and I would have gladly returned!

Everything with my experience was fine. Nothing special.
Credit card tips not allowed. I offered to run to the bank and take out cash. «OK»
Ran around in a giant neighborhood circle within 5 minutes.
Came back and they had closed and turn off all the lights. Thanks jerks.

My Nails look like a «Full-​On Monet»
What’s a Monet?
It’s like a painting see, from far away it’s Ok, but up close it’s a big ol mess!
Thank you Cher from Clueless, you have just helped me describe what is wrong with my no-​chip manicure.
Only the friendliness of the staff saves this from a one star rating.
The shop is clean and atmosphere is relaxing. Although I wonder about some of the décor items – helicopters? Okaaaaay…
I had a feeling my No-​Chip would turn out bad as my tech had a really sloppy technique and my nails did not stay under the light as long as I think they should have. The nail color goes all the way down to the cuticle on some nails and isn’t very even, so up close it looks pretty sloppy. I’m sure no one would notice it if I was just sitting and talking to them, but as someone that’s had really good no-​chips in the past, the work here at T-​nails really is sub par.
I visited Monday morning and it’s Thursday and paint on one of my nails chipped today. See? Sloppy technique. Don’t waste your time or money here.

T-​Nails is very friendly and affordable! $ 30 for a mani/​pedi! Awesome! I had a great nail tech there her name is Jane — she is very nice, asks questions, and works hard to earn your business. The pedicure chairs — yes, please! They are so comfortable and the massage is great! You have a nice chance to soak your feet, get the pedicure and then a salt scrub on your legs with a hot towel.
I loved my mani/​pedi by Jane! Go see her!

This place is not the place worth it for a no-​chip. You see $ 25 dollars and think great deal — wrong– my nails look awful… ! Save yourself the heartache!

I wanted to love this place again. really I did. I used to come here all the time when they first opened. They were great! The service was exceptional and the prices were good. I only stopped going because I moved and found a spot closer to my home, however, my best friend and I decided to try them out again since we were in the neighborhood. Walking in, the nail salon has a very clean feel to it and we were greeted right away. I was even surprised that they remembered me and even asked after my sister. (I seriously hadn’t been there in a year so I was pleasantly surprised.) They asked my friend and I to pick a color, which we did. I just wanted a nail removal, mani and pedi. The pedi went great. My nail tech was very nice and super attentive. After she was done she asked me to take a seat at her section (I’m assuming). She didn’t soak my nails off. no. she buffed them as low as possible. which burned the heck out of the tops of my nails. After saying ‘ouch’ about 20 times. she grabbed a fake plastic nail and tried to slide that between my actual nail and the acrylic one I already had on!!! Ughhhhh… never again! My nails were already tender and this just made it 10x worse. So as she worked on my right hand I decided to just pull the ones on my left hand off myself because what she was doing felt far worse. To top it all off she kept insisting on a color I didn’t want to do. (It was completely different from the one I picked for my pedi). well after the nail removal she buffed my nails some more. had me wash my hands. soaked them in water for 2 minutes. cleaned the nail beds. and added polish. I have had manis before. There was no hand rub. and even worse. no apology. When she told me the price I was surprised. She charged me for the nail removal. The one I helped with lol That was kind of a joke. wanna know the kicker, I still gave her a nice tip!!! How awesome am I?!
My problem isn’t with the staff, really. they’re super nice and again the pedi was good. The salon is very clean, but I’d never go through their nail removal process again. ever! Don’t think I’ll come here again. I’ll stick to the few places by my house.

I’ve been getting my nails done for years… This is the first place I’ve found that never let’s Me down. Sam is the best and my nails are always perfect. I get the powder gel. Sometimes we put the no chip on top. Even though I am loyal to Sam, I have seen the other people do great jobs. Everyone is always super nice. Great pedicures too. I drive all the way from Wrigleyville just to come here.
PS. You can pay with a card but tip in cash only!

I just love this place! The service is wonderful and the staff is very friendly. I always get my nails done by Tony (been his customer for about 7 years now) and I have never, ever had a bad time. Everywhere I go I get compliments about my nails. When I do get a pedicure it is a wonderful, relaxing experience! I wouldn’t even consider going someplace else!

I came here about an hour and a half before close on a Thursday night. It was my first visit. When I got there, there was a woman getting a pedicure in the far pedicure chair. I was done before her. It was very rushed and there was barely any scrubbing of the rough spots that I came to get rid of.
The lady who did my pedi was not at all friendly and I doubt she spoke English. There was another lady who was working on someone else who seemed very nice — I wish I’d gotten her.
As I’m sitting here writing this review, the polish on my toes is still gummy and has many dents in it. I’ve had many pedicures and I do my own nail art so I know a thing or two about nail polish. I know that when the polish stays gummy it’s because it’s old.
I’ll most likely go back to show them what’s going on but I really don’t want to deal with how uncomfortable I’ll feel when they start talking about me in another language.
I’m really sad because I saw such great reviews here and the place is new. If anyone finds a good place for pedicures, please let me know!!!

Can’t believe I forgot about Rose Nails on Milwaukee & Austin!!! Awesome place and they are SOOOO FRIENDLY!!! Great work and lower prices!!!
