Dazzle Nails & Spa

So I went to my «new» nail place and wanted a mani pedi… unfortunately the wait was longer than I had to spare so instead of waiting or doing my nails myself I decide to go to Dazzle Nail and Spa on North Ave in Elmwood Park, I think this is one of the worst decisions I have ever made. A picture is worth a thousand words… do not, I repeat, do not go here, well unless you want an open wound.

I went in for a no chip manicure it’s been about a week and it’s held up pretty well other than the obvious outgrowth which is natural. However the whole experience was so bizarre! First the woman rushes me to pick out a color. Then all of the workers get into a fight (at least I think it was they were all screaming at each other). It wasn’t just a quick 30 second argument. It went on for about 15 minutes. And that was 15 minutes too long. Then when I walked out the owner (? not sure just assuming) said to to the other woman how ugly my color was. It’s unfortunate that it was such a weird environment because otherwise I would have been back.

Great prices, never a long wait! I love these guys and it’s clean and big. The big screen and great massage chairs are on point. I would have gave them a 5 but the waxes are hit or miss. I was in pain for a while after one and I have been getting waxed for years… ouch! Awesome pedis!

I’ve been coming here for the past couple years or so because I live nearby. It is definitely much nicer and cleaner than most other nail salons in the area. So far every tech I’ve had was very friendly and did a great job.

Before tonight I would have given it four stars, how quickly things change. Had good experience with no-​chip and my first set of gel nails. Tonight I asked to have my gel nails removed and an a complete replacement set. Being that this was my first time having a set of gel nails removed I wasn’t certain of how that was actually supposed to happen. The tech began pulling them right off of my fingers. Cutting away & pulling I can’t tell you how painful this was. Two of the pieces of nail actually flew off and hit the man sitting next to me. Thankfully he spoke up and told me that isn’t how they were supposed to be removed. I voiced my concern — asking about another way to have them removed. The man next to me was correct — they were supposed to be soaked. I switched techs — this woman put my entire finger tips into a bowl of solution. By the time the nails were finished dissolving The skin on my fingers was white and dry. Pretty certain they’re only supposed to soak the nails, not the entire finger. I then switched tech again — this time he pulled the skin away from my nail, twice. I started bleeding & he offered to spray alcohol on it — as if I wasn’t in enough pain. I also have a ton of gel under my nails. My daughter had her nails done as well — none of the nails’ shapes are the same. To top it off they changed me to remove the nails — this after I endured all sorts of pain. We’re never going here again — it was beyond disastrous.

One month ago I would have given this nail salon a great review! I loved this nail shop since the Grand Opening. I am a frequent customer literally every 2 weeks since they opened. I have always received great service here and never complained about the wait times because I knew I would get the best service. However, as of today I will not be returning. Apparently the management has changed and the new nail techs are not so friendly. I received horrible service this morning and instead of trying to figure out the problem the nail tech laughed a few times when asking him/​her for the service I desired. One of my nails were broken, the nail tech placed acrylic on top of my real nail without fixing the nail first. I explained to him/​her several times that I did not want acrylic on my nail without a fake nail. He/​She didn’t seem to understand. I was patient at first but once I begin to get frustrated and the nail tech continued to laugh at me I found it very rude. I asked for another nail tech immediately and tipped the «seasoned» tech since he was very polite and thorough. The manger even tried to charge me for two broken nails when she indeed took the nail off. I love the work here but now with the new techs and clearly new management I’m not sure about returning.

I like this place especially because they have specials for pedicure Monday till Wednesday. Their prices are reasonable and service is great. I would recommend this place for sure

My 1^st visit to Dazzle salon wasn’t so bad, my no chip mani didn’t come out as great as I’ve had from other places, but I’m not that picky, so I was satisfied. BUT, the NEXT day the white polish was completely yellow looking with bumps all over it. So even though I live about 30 mins away, I drove back to have them fix it. I did NOT think there would be an issue since I JUST got it done, but they refused to change the polish and blamed it on me! My hair or my clothes must’ve leaked onto my nails and made them look yellow and terrible. I have never experienced such terrible customer service! I was told that I had to pay 20.00 to have a polish change EVEN though I just paid 60.00 with tip the day before! This is completely ridiculous!!! The girl finally said she would try her best to repair the disgusting white polish, so I went with it. I will NEVER come back here again and would never recommend this place to anyone!

I really like this place. Just tried it yesterday for the first time. It’s now my new spot for nails. I was going to another place for over 15 years and it had gotten stale. This was highly recommended by my friends. They are fast and friendly. I had a great No Chip and pedicure. They also have a reward program. You get a free pedicure after 10 visits with a $ 15 purchase. Make sure you get your punch card.

My husband I go to Dazzle once every few weeks for «date» mani-​pedis. Everyone is really nice, and they take their time and do a terrific job– very thorough. We both feel so scrubby clean and gorgeous when we leave, and the prices are very affordable. Tip: Not surprisingly, this place has become VERY popular, and is crowded almost any time we’ve stopped by. The wait can be pretty long if your don’t make an appointment. Strongly recommend that you call ahead and make an appointment.

Went for a french mani/​pedi with no appointment. Wait was only 15 min. Which is about what I expected. sat in water for 10 minutes until a tech was available for the pedi. The massage chair was broken. Every time I tried to power it off, the recline sat straight up. Annoying, but not terrible. The pedi only took 5 minutes (without the polish). Never have I had such a rushed pedicure anywhere. I asked for rounded French tip to follow the natural line. The tips were a little thick but not terrible. The mani was also rushed, I spent more time waiting for everything to dry than I did on the entire mani/​Pedi. He messed up so many times on the finger nail tips I eventually asked him to remove the white color polish and just put on a clear coat. I basically paid $ 40 for a feet/​hand soak and clear polish. Will NEVER return to this place. I can do better French manicure at home on myself.

Love this place. It’s CLEAN, ORGANIZED, AND SPACIOUS. The nail color choice is good but could be better. Some of the staff can be very rude and unfriendly. I’ve overlooked it but I’ve been able to see a new tech every time I go so I’m building my rap sheet of techs I would like to see again. I will continue to be a customer and hopefully I’ll find that ONE.

After the experience I had yesterday at another nail salon I am happy to say I think I found my new nail spot! I made an appt for a no chip and even the day before Easter they were about to take me at my exact appt time. The salon was noticeably busy but they were very organized and attended to each customer in a timely manner.
The salon is clean and Sophie did a wonderful job on my nails and attention to detail. I will def be coming back!

Since my usual nail salon closed for remodeling, I decided to give Dazzle another try. When it first opened I went and had a descent experience. I went right as they were opening on a Sunday in hopes to avoid a long wait. I had a pedicure and manicure. My complaint with this location is their lack of organization and the inexperience of my manicurist. Everyone was nice but I was left waiting for a while with my feet in the water for someone. Once I finally had someone, another tech came and took her spot. Once I was passed along to get my manicure, my manicurist filed the sides of my nails but I went with it. All was good until he started to cut my cuticles. I was distracted watching some show when I realized he cut me. I didn’t think much because it can happen but then I realized my cut was deeper and the bleeding didn’t stop. I kept asking him to use a new tissue/​paper towel to clean or put pressure on it but he didn’t understand me and used the same paper. AEventually the bleeding stopped but the next day I noticed the cut was pretty deep and two weeks later I still have a scab. I don’t think I will be returning anytime soon.

I love this place!!! The price is affordable. Their works are really professional. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!

I used to live in the area and watched as this salon was built. It wasn’t until I moved and had family in town that I decided to go check it out.
My sister-​in-​law and I went for a mini pamper day while she was in town. We went on a Sunday and didn’t have an appointment – which could have been where our issue was.
I was impressed with how big the salon was – they had about 8 pedicure stations, about 12 manicure stations, a wax room and if I’m not mistaken a massage room. They didn’t have nearly as many staff members as stations though. I liked that all the aprons the nail techs wore had Hello Kitty on them – it was very unique.
Cons:
–longer than expected wait time-​they said 15 min it was closer to 30 – 45
–my nail tech wasn’t friendly, didn’t talk to me and didn’t try to talk to me
Pros:
–plenty of parking
–good deal – mani and pedi for $ 30 (the price fluctuates throughout the week)
–they served in order of walk in – even though there was plenty of people who came in after us, we got served in the order we came.

I had a horrible experience at this salon. There was no manager and no one (literally) spoke English. I used my debit card to pay for mani/​pedi and they made a mistake on the charge. They charged me $ 48 instead of $ 40. Instead of crediting the $ 8 mistake, they voided the $ 48 debit and charged me $ 40. Since it was my debit card, this means I am less both amounts or $ 88 in my account with no credit for 5 business days. I told them what their mistake resulted in and they could of cared less and most likely didn’t understand me. I’ll never go again !!!
