N Design Nail Shop

Any time I call to make an appt, they can take me that same day. I love their no-​chip manicures, and the crappy rom-​com movies to watch while getting pampered are a plus!

Best mani pedi around. I live in the city and come all the way back to Morton Grove to get my nails done. The technicians are kind and take their time to make sure your nails and skin look beautiful! The chairs for a pedicure Give a great massage and they also provide a nice shoulder massage when your nails are being done. Can’t beat it for the price, check it out !

I love this place. I go there every other weekend with my little daughter. Whether we have an appointment or not we are quickly seated. Clean and comfortable setting. Very friendly staff. Prices are very low. And I love how they have a punch card.

The place itself is very nice and clean, which is quite refreshing among similar salons! Prices are very low, too.

First and foremost when my little sister and I walked into this nail salon, no one greeted us. They just said what are u getting? And a little kid walked up to us saying hello. Maybe she’s the nail tech daughter but she was the only one courteous. My lil sis and I were first to come in then another lady came in after. We all wanted pedicures. They set us up in the pedi chairs and only started working on my sis and the lady that came in after us. So I’m just sitting waiting and the girl working on my sis didn’t tell me the other tech would be working on me soon, I had to ask. I only came here because it was down the street from my sisters house and we wanted to get in and out. I hate not getting proper Customer service especially when I’m paying my hard earned money!
Though my review started negative, I think I got pretty good service from my tech. Now that I’m drying in this nail salon, Oso was very nice and gentle… I even got a shoulder massage! Thank u OSO!

Love this little place! It was my first time here, I was in the neighborhood, Unilocaled a nail salon nearby and came across this cute little store. Its clean, quaint, and the staff is polite. I came on a Wednesday so mani/​pedi was only $ 30 and they have a huge selection of Essie and OPI polishes.
They have big screen tvs playing chick flicks, a massaging chair while you get a pedi and a shoulder/​neck massage while you get a mani! it was perfect!
Loved every second of it.
The lady who attended to me was sweet but very quiet, which I don’t mind, I don’t like the chatter. It was very relaxing and just what I needed!
I’ll definitely be back on M-​W for the $ 30 special, and with every 9 services you get a free service. Sounds good to me!

My first mani pedi! Have my feet dunked in super warm water. Feels so good~
I’m a little embarrassed to be writing a review on this shop — NOT because of anything they did wrong… they were excellent! I’m a little shy because I don’t know many manly men who get their nails done. In fact, this will probably be my first and last time…
or so I thought…
I actually ended up going back a second time.
The first time I just went along with my gf. She was getting her nails done. Gentlemen, if you haven’t seen nails being done, I encourage you to try witnessing it first hand. It’s quite a fascinating process.
The lady was really nice about explaining what she was doing to my nails step-​by-​step. Getting my nails sanded was an unnerving experience, so the play-​by-​play was a definite plus.
Check it out.

Great salon for nails but anytime Kim does my no chip manicure, it chips within 2 days which it definitely shouldn’t. I used OPI, but I think it’s her techniquie. My sister has experienced the same thing with her.

First off, the owner is EXTREMELY kind. I am fussy and picky and she is always so kind. I’ll be honest, I’m the kind of person that if one nail is not up to standard, I want it fixed. The owner always treats me well and makes sure I’m satisfied.
The place is extremely clean, nice bathroom, and the massage chairs are phenomenal. I love their movie choices and the 2 tvs are great because you can see them form any chair.
They have an extensive no chip color range BUT only use the opi one, the other chipped really easy.
With the manicure you get an AMAZING massage, with hot towel and everything. I swear that alone is worth coming here.
Bonus? Avalanche smoothie next door is amazing and a refreshing treat after pampering yourself. I think they might own both places and I’ll gladly give them my money for such good service.

Everytime I’ve driven by this place, I wonder if its actually open, as no one ever is seen going in or out. Now I know why.
I called on a Saturday morning inquiring if I needed an appt. They said no, so I said I’ll be there in a few min. When I arrived, the place was dead empty, not one client (when most nail salons are packed on Sat morning’s). To my surprise, I was asked «do you have an appt?» I responded no, that I just spoke with someone over the phone. The 3 ladies there, all looked at each other in a kind of «can we handle this volume of customers?!» They agreed to take me, which seemed like they were doing me a favor. The whole 1.5 hrs I was there, no clients ever came.
The one friendly lady was in the middle of doing her daughters nails, then her son ran out from the waxing room, and she did his pedicure too. While there are 4 – 5 pedicure massage chair stations, they only use 1 for customers, rest are decoration. The place does have potential, its nicely decorated, 2 flat screen tv’s always have a movie going. But while sitting there, you get this odd vibe, like «should I be here? did I just intrude on some family time?» Dad was there too, doing handyman type of work throughout the place.
They have a huge wall of OPI colors to choose from, seriously a huge selection. But I’m not sure if what is in the bottle is OPI… I chose a color I had at home, so I could do touch ups if need be. Well the color at home, which was authentic, was a few shades off. They use some cheap top coat, not Seche Vete like other salons. I asked the lady doing my nails (who did not speak a word of English, nor could crack a smile or pretend today was not the end of the world) to do square nails. She nodded her head. Hmm, did she understand me? She continued to make round nails, like a 5 year olds nails… so I asked can you file that straight? She said ok, and made them EVEN MORE ROUND?! Hmm, communication problem?
We finished the pedicure, and she lead me to the manicure station, and all of the sudden she spoke english «you pay, you pay now», ok, I’m getting the money out of my purse, while she hovers over me in a less than friendly way. «ya pay now». I HEARD YOU, you see what I’m doing?
And this my friends is why no one comes here. While the mani/​pedi is mediocre at best, this lady has some interpersonal skills that could use a tweek, or million.

I keep wanting to love this place. So many things to rave about — the service, cleanliness, pricing-​specials during the week, selection of colors (lots of OPI, Essie, and no-​chip) and general cuteness (details — little doggy ring holders at each station, decals on the walls, chick flicks playing throughout the day).
4 stars for the quality of no-​chip manicures. I’ve had it done twice here, and both times I’ve caught bubbles under my polish, pretty much every nail. During this most recent visit, I said something about one nail, and she corrected it quickly, but left the others in place. Boo.
Will be back for pedicure and regular manicure, but I’ll probably go elsewhere for my no-​chips.

What an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and the shop was very clean. Everyone was gently, yet professionally vigorous with the pedicure. Both the pedicure and manicure come with massages and hot towel wraps. What a treat! My husband got his first pedicure and we are both going to come back on a regular basis. My husband said «I feel like I have brand new feet!» as we walked out today. I recommend this place to everyone.

What more can i say? Nice, super clean and friendly staff! Definitely a good deal and love those stools for your purse. :)

I can’t believe that I’m the first person to review this place. This place is clean, friendly and most importantly the no– chip manicures and pedicures are spectacular! This is a hidden gem in Morton Grove. I’ve been to the other local nail shops and this place beats all of them hands down. Prices are really reasonable especially Monday thru Wednesday they have some good specials.

This place is great. Everyone is so friendly. It’s super cozy, very clean, tastefully decorated and they have a large screen tv that plays movies while you get your nails done. Both times I was there, someone came over and placed a warm, ginger-​scented pillow around my neck. The first time the manicure was okay, not the best color application or cuticle clean-​up that I have ever had but still decent. The second time I went, I got Sally and she was amazing. Very friendly, talked to me the whole time and was very thorough with my cuticles and really great polish application. I will be back to see Sally. And the prices are fantastic. $ 12 for a manicure.

I love this place for mani/pedi’s. They play movies while you are there so you get lost in the movies while they are doing your nails. Everyone that works there speaks English and they are all extremely friendly. If your nail chips with in a few days they will let you come in for a free touch up to make your nails look fresh again and last a little longer. I feel so relaxed after I leave here. Pricces are very reasonable and they do everything from regular manis to fake nails to no chip.

This place ROCKS! This shop treats you very well. Every other nail shop I have been to should take a lesson from this shop. Its a lovely, peaceful experience and they offer extra service included with every mani or pedi for no addtional charge. You will be pleasantly surprised. But PLEASE make an appointment so you or the technicians won’t be rushed. :)
