M & T Nails

Awesome place! Great staff they always take care of their customers. Quality stuff and good prices! My family and friends have been going here for 10 years now!

can I give zero stars?
I went in before homecoming to get gel extensions and a pedicure. they looked fine, no problems there. a few days later I noticed air bubbles under a few nails. then 3 nails just popped off. even worse, they all fell off while doing every day activities. this morning I went back to have the rest removed. I read online that to remove gel nails, they’re to be soaked in a solvent and practically wiped away. what did the nail tech do? trimmed the tips away and pried the rest of the nail off with another fake nail. it hurt like crazy and my nails still hurt after over an hour later. yet they charged me $ 8. I proceed to pay with my debit card, only to be told they can’t run a debit card for less than $ 10. I don’t even carry cash, do I had to tip $ 2 for something that hurt and made my nails look crappy. I’ll never be back.

I have been to every nail salon in Lockport
None have impressed me. M & T Nails has been my choice by default. Until yesterday. I got a pedicure (okay, not great) and then a fill in for acrylic nails. I have a huge CONCERN for how this situation was handled. The nail tech cut two cuticles with the grinder to where I was bleeding. It happens sometimes, that’s not the issue. What she did next is my concern. She took no safety or hygenic measures. She even brushed my bleeding cuticles with the oil and returned the brush to the bottle. WHAT? If this is procedure, that bottle can contain the blood of previous customers and now that oil containing who knows what has been brushed on my open skin! Disgusting! I intend to notify the Will County Health Department. I will not return to this establishment and you shouldn’t either. On a side not, and not nearly as important, the fill in was less than spectacular. My nails are pitted and oddly shaped. Terrible job.

Went in for the first time today and I will NEVER return!!! I asked for gel nails which are more expensive. They put on tips and acrylic powder And called it gel nails. I didn’t know this until I got home and talked to my friend and did my research. So I paid double for a service I did not receive. The salon was dirty as I was soaking my feet I should of left (yuck) I am home now and realize how sloppy my nails and feet look! My nails also hurt (since when do you get your nails done and it hurts?) I can’t wait to call in the morning at the most I want the money they charged me for the service that was never provided.

I have been going to M & T for years and have NO complaints. Was there yesterday for a manicure and once again it was wonderful. Will be back for a pedicure before vacation. If you have a bad experience with a technician — it would make more sense to complain to the business than to bash them publically. I am aware that the technicians speak little English — but that has nothing to do with their service.

I’ve been going here for years, and though like another reviewer mentioned they do not speak much English, I don’t mind it at all. Their work is high quality. I can’t find another salon like them and I’ve tried every one from Lockport to Oak Park.
I usually get a Brazilian done there and the woman who owns the business does an absolutely fantastic job, never a spot left out, and she’s quick and uses good wax and products. When they do my eyebrows they REALLY take their time with perfection, which I like. I also get pedicures done with the designs as well, which are always very beautiful and very well done. When my friends and I leave it looks like we just have lovely works of art decorating our toes. I messed up my toes once while leaving and they fixed them for free. I feel comfortable and welcome; I highly recommend this place.

The employees barely speak English, the bathroom was dirty and didn’t have any soap, not even an empty dispensor. The girl doing my nails nicked my cuticle twice causing it to bleed, she put some unknown blue stuff on it which stinged a lot and kept working. I doubt they use the disinfector enough as all tools should be autoclaved if they come into contact with blood, and the machine was not working while I was there and they were busy. I think I prefer a salon where they open a fresh set of tools in front of you.
