No.1 Nails

Talented and friendly nail technicians, clean salon and great prices! I usually do the $ 30 mani and pedi, this time bought my Mom a no chip and she loved it. She will definitely be back. Highly recommend this salon

One star because I couldn’t leave 0. Absolutely horrible work. I had the owner and she was in a hurry. Worrying about who she could do next. Taking breaks during a no chip. No quality just get them in and get them out. I gave this place two chances. Didn’t even last a week and very dirty they use the same brush on everyone’s hands for the cuticle oil. HORRIBLE.

No chip manicure chipped in 3days the young guy who did it blamed it on me and redid 2 nails but was complaining then 3different nails chipped the next day this happened July of last year the worst place I’ve ever been to and it’s a shame cause I live so close

For the price it’s good. It depends on who does the work. I usually have the no chip. Great price but sometimes if the owner puts the polish on, she does not apply it close enough to the cuticle and it will look grown out in just a few days instead of a week. Everyone is nice. Seems clean. The no chip has never chipped.

I called a few days ahead of time to make an appointment for me and a friend since it always seems like there’s a long wait at nail salons! When I showed up for the appointment, they said they did not have it written down. In my opinion, this is very unprofessional! Thankfully, they had an opening and I got in. My friend, who showed up 5 minutes later, was not as lucky. She had to wait over 45 minutes to get in. We specifically made appointments together so we could have an afternoon out getting pedicures and manicures! Also, when I called ahead, I asked how long a mani/​pedi would take so I could plan accordingly. They said a half hour to an hour. I was there for over 2 hours! Not only that, but the next day, my nail polish on my toes and fingers were already chipped and I had to take the polish off because it looked terrible. I just moved to the area and was looking for a good salon! Disappointed this couldn’t be it!

Let’s begin with the fact that it should not be an all day affair to get a full acrylic set or a fill, and experience in this or a related field would be appreciated. My friend and I went together on the spur of the moment (each of us has a preference in salon but they both were full) so we relied on Unilocal reviews and unfortunately got ourselves into quite the pickle with #1 (on a scale of 1 to10) nails. While I was getting a simple acrylic set it took far too long seeing as how my lady seemed to have other matters to take care of so we had lots of mini breaks, the color is fine and the design on mine was ok just not properly timed out. Now for my poor friend who had to get hers polished and re polished about 5 times, and by the fifth time of them filing away the failed nails she just kept what was there and we left. Her current polish job is not up to par there are jagged edges, and spots without polish, but as previously stated we had run out of time and patience. We got to the shop at 2 we didn’t leave till after 5 and all we gained from this was bad nails and a bad attitude.

I was looking for a new nail salon after I had a very bad experience at the nail salon that I frequently would go to. I had driven by #1 Nails many times and since its 5 minutes away from where I live I decided to give it a try. It such a great place! It is inexpensive, the quality of work is great and they are always friendly! My nails have never looked so good! I love this little place!

Tried this place finally and I was really disappointed. The workers were so nice but the work was awful. The no chip manicure was blotchy and uneven around my nails. She didn’t even file them evenly. As a matter of fact, se broke one of my nails because she was being a bit rough with the file at one point. Not worth your money.

I have been coming to this place for a year now and they do a great job! The prices cannot be beat for the quality you get. I tried another nail salon in downtown la grange that was twice the price and the craftsmanship was not nearly as good. The facilities are clean and the environment is relaxing. My acrylics generally last for about 3 weeks.
The only reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because only one of the technicians in the entire salon does acrylic fill ins so I ALWAYS have to wait, even when I have made an appointment. Sometimes the owner will begin my nails and then will have me sit and wait while she performs other services on other clients. When I go to a salon, I expect the technician to give me their full attention start to finish. I really feel like her business would benefit if she hired another technician who does acrylics and no chip manicures as the majority of the staff is only trained in traditional manicures.
I would also recommend bringing your own polishes as their selection is a bit thin. The only reason I keep coming here is because the quality of the manicure I get is fantastic, however, I really, really wish they would hire another technician who does acrylics and no chips to cut down on the wait times.

Very pleased with this salon. Great service, great nail shaping. My fill looks clean and has no rough edges, no extra reshaping needed as happens with so many salons. The only thing holding me back on 5 stars is that I am waiting to see how the special no chip gel coating over regular polish holds up. I have been doing no chip over my acrylic tips for years because I am VERY hard on my hands and they didn’t want to do it. If this stuff hold up, then I’m sold. If not, I will have to go back and tell then to use the product I want.

I enjoy this place. Very clean. Very friendly. Very inexpensive. Family owned business.
TV is always on something neat– animal planet, HGTV or cooking channel.
You can make an appointment, or walk-​in.
They will give you a small bottle of water, which is a nice touch.

Many of the polishes are outdated. So don’t expect a big selection, or else choose your own.
