Well-Come Spa

I was in town visiting friends and needed a place close by and found this gem. It’s small and there is street parking as well as the lot next to the building. When I walked in, there were about 2 – 3 other people. It was busy due to it being Mother’s Day weekend. They have a good variety of colors to pick from. I needed a pedi only and I was able to get a seat immediately.
Why 4 Stars?
Honestly everything was great except for the water not being hot. My person was great and my pedi ended up being awesome, but I was disappointed that the water was only room temp and I didn’t soak my feet for that long.
They offered me water as soon as I walked in and told me to pick a color and have a seat. This place offers reflexology, but I didn’t try it because I was on a time crunch. It seems they are known for their reflexology services (foot massages).
I would recommend this. It seems like they have regulars.

Well-​Come Spa has always done me well… I appreciate the hard work the people do here. Very clean environment. Always concerned how you are. A good selection of colors. I travel a bit to get here, but it is well worth the time. Thank you ladies

I’ve been to Well Come Spa a few times now, and their service is superb! I have sensitive cuticles so I appreciate that they take their time and are not rough. Parking is accessible with street parking and a parking lot next door and it’s right off the Blue Line Oak Park stop. Oh, and another plus — their prices are pretty cheap compared to others in the area! Just note that the place is small with few workers so it can get busy pretty fast, especially on the weekends.

I continue to be blown away by the service at this spa. Every time I come here to get my nails done or brows waxed I am treated like a princess. The spa environment is so soothing, the estheticians are skilled and they always make sure you are happy with the quality of the service.

My BFF took our daughter and her step daughter here for a mani/​pedi day on Feb. 20^th. We let the girls get there hands and toes painted. Cool. We asked for pricing on getting a no chip and pedicure and they quoted us $ 66. Cool. We even asked if it included the removal of our previous no chip, they said yes. However, when they began to remove the no chip they said it was going to be an extra $ 5. I said that isn’t what you quoted me, they ended up not charging the $ 5 (which I couldn’t understand anyway!). I must say this isn’t my normal salon, I usually go downtown. Anyway they have a one week if your nails chip you can come back to get it repaired. So my nail breaks on the 6^th day and my BFF had two chip nails by day 5. Now day 9 I have two nails that have begin to bubble! Never has that happen before. They even encouraged us to use the CNI Polish because they claimed it was «better» than OPI (my normal brand). Needless to say I will NEVER patronize this location again. They’re over priced and it isn’t good quality.

Lena gave me the best deep-​tissue massage I have ever had. Definitely going back again to relieve stress. I have walked past this place so many times — the outside does not relay how cozy, clean and friendly it is inside. Will try them next for manicures.

Got a deep tissue massage with Lena and it was amazing. Can’t beat the price either. Will be going back.

My 4^th time. This is one of my all time favorite places. Perfect blend of ambiance, music, color scheme, location, quaint, intimate size, décor & friendly, genuine staff. The service, manicure/​pedicure is attentive & thorough. Look forward to returning again and again.

I love this place brought my mom MIL and wife to get some spa time we were the only ones I. There on a Monday morning. They took well care of us everyone loved there manis and pedis most soothing relaxing experience. Love it I wish I lived closer.

DO NOT GO HERE
They do not know what they are doing. They damaged my nails by trying to file off my gel manicure instead of soaking it off. Almost making me bleed and making my nails so thin. I left half way through her filing my nails the service was so awful. She even made me pay although she did a terrible job. So awful and painful my nails are damaged.

This place is great for mani pedis. For pedis, they do a good job scrubbing with a nice bit of massage. Nails always last a nice bit of time too.

This is my first review I have ever written in any type of websites but I felt that I would be doing a disservices to others by not writing about my terrible experience there.
I went to do waxing, full arms for $ 40. The lady who did it «can’t remember her name, but she told me that she’s the manger»
She burnt my arms. She kept saying its either a sun damaged my skin or a dead skin NOT from the wax that’s why my arms were so red.
It was Itchy, painful twhole night so next day I went to immediate care And the doctor wrote me a prescriptions. Thanks god I have insurance that covered my medicine for five moths.
I went to see that lady after two days with my proscription medicine. But after a long conversation, She returned back my $ 40 without any apologize.
I’ve been in too many places to do waxing and that never happened to me before.

I loved my no chip mani and regular pedi but I was a little disappointed about the price for services. Would I return again? — Yes, but the pricing and polish options would be a deterrent. If public transportation or walking to a nearby establishment is important to you, the price may be less of an issue.
Reasons to check this place out–
The staff members are very attentive and friendly. This salon is clean, organized and conveniently located. It is located on the bus line, the blue line and there’s lots of street parking and a lot close by.
My Services —
There are lots of colors to choose from but I was disappointed upon learning there were no Gelish, Perfect Match or polishes with matching no chip and regular polish colors. If you want a regular pedicure and no chip manicure, you are forced to match different color brands which is not cool in my book. Especially when paying $ 38 for a no chip and an addition $ 5 to soak the prior no chip color off. Even for Oak Park, this is on the high end and the offerings fall short… The pedi chairs are also dated.
Tidbits worth noting —
If you are planning to check this place out, I recommend you make an appointment and not plan to use your phone. This place is pretty busy despite its prices and it is very tight quarters. Any personal or lengthy conversations would be disruptive to say the least.

Great leg and foot rub, I came in on a busy Friday. They really take there time doing nails, which I appreciate. They also take walk in’s!

One of my coworkers LOVES it here and suggested that I give it another try. I did and the experience was a completely different one from the first time. I have been back two more times.

Love this place! My go-​to neighborhood spa for pedicures and massage. I’ve been a regular since they opened and they are they hardest working people in this town! It helps to make an appointment, they can get busy (good for them), but they also go above and beyond to be accommodating when you are a walk-​in.
I always get compliments on my toes, and the pedicures last a long time. Amanda (owner) and her family/​staff all do a great job!

Was around the corner and «chair massages» on the window caught my eye! As soon as I walked in I was greet by 3 staffers (yes, Asian– sorry!) — two male, 1 female. Seems to me a family business, and this was a dad, mom and older (20’s-ish) son. There were another 3 ladies giving pedicures. In other words, a crowded little joint.
From what I could see the pedicure chairs looked modern and ‘the good kind’, and their nail polish selection was really great– and all their OPI’s looked fresh. (Not like some places that have super old 1/​3-​full bottles.)
My chair massage was on par. What I appreciated was that there is a back room for which they do regular, chair and foot massages. It was quiet and dark– but not very closed off or dark to the point of being creeped out.
I appreciated that they didn’t give me crap about asking to use a credit card on my $ 15 10min massage.
Next time I’ll try a pedicure. Looks like they took appointments, and from the line on the way out I’m judging that it’s best to have one.

I visited Well-​Come for the first time last week. I didn’t have the best experience. I had a no-​chip manicure removed, and the manicurist informed me that if I had come there to get it, the polish wouldn’t be so hard to remove (it was not hard to remove at all!). The manicurist got up about 10 times during the manicure I got on Sunday. She told me she was eating lunch! In addition, the light they use takes forever! I started to pull my hands out because I’m used to a quick light cure and she said, «No no!» Even with all of that, the no-​chip manicure is chipping on almost every finger. I went back once (two days later) since they have a 7-​day guarantee. But they were not very nice about it, angrily asking, «Where is the chip?» They fixed it begrudgingly. Now my other nails are chipping. Not going back.

My regular nail place, it is convenient and close to home and they are open 7 days a week now which is awesome. They are very thorough with the pedicures and they’re a good deal for $ 28. And the no chip manicures I get here seem to last longer than anywhere else. Usually 3 weeks. Only I have I ever had to come in within the 7 days to get mine fixed. Mason is the best at them! They have gotten a lot more no chip colors since I started coming a few years ago also. Yes, there are no TVs, but I like the quietness. And yes, they’re not super chatty with you, but sometimes I like to relax. The jujube tea they give is great too. Lovely place with nice people :-)

I’ve been on a roll with bad luck apparently, and I’ve just had the worst experience at a nail salon in my entire life. In fact, the worst and most insulting customer service experience that I’ve ever endured. I paid $ 18 for nothing, but wasted time and mistreatment. I went in for an eyebrow wax and a no chip manucure. I wanted be there at 6:30 but was told that time would overlap with another customer. Eventually I was told I could come in at the time I wanted. I made it there for 6 anyway and was the last customer there. No «overlap». They were telling other potential customers to try tomorrow and the like. They just wanted to get out of there despite closing at 8.
And, instead of wasting my time, and causing me so much upset (when I have to leave at 3am for an international flight), I’d have rathered they told me no, too! First time in my life, I have 2 girls working on my nails at the same time. One was standing during half the process. I didn’t mind because I was tired and wanted to be out of there as much as they did.
The first hand came out lumpy with thin spots after 3 coats. And «I did 3 coats» was her answer. I said «okay, but it shouldn’t look like this.» She tells me that it’s my skin color showing through the polish. I said then, give me a color that matches my «skin color». This girl spoke perfect American English, so there was no misunderstanding. Later, she tried to explain it to the manager as if I requested a polish change. I told her and the manager twice «no», I was told that the color I chose allowed my skin color to show through. Meanwhile, the hand that was still in the machine at the time turned out not to be nearly as bad as the other. The girl who did the better hand tried to explain the problem as being caused by the shape of my nail beds. However, the hand she did didn’t look that way. It was still in the light machine at the time, so one could give any excuse.
Yet by the time I noticed the other hand wasn’t nearly as bad, I was already told that they could either remove it and I could just pay for a manicure, or I could pay extra for a color change. Why would the customer pay for a color change in that situation? Either the sevice was bad or the polish was bad, this wasn’t my fault or decision!
I say fine, I’m not paying extra because of something that’s not my fault, just do the manicure. Then some psycho woman wearing her coat comes over to «help» with the removal process, roughly scuffing the polish and my hand! She walked off and the other girl who was helping before returned to help, wearing her coat also.
They left me with rough, unpolished, unbuffed, nails. No nail soak, no scrub, nothing else was part of the process that I waste my time over. They had to call the manager to come in when I asked if they were going to finish the manicure.
After saying she would call the police if I refused to pay (and I told her go ahead), and then trying to haggle with me suggesting I pay the price of the no chip removal… even though they messed it up, the manager eventually agreed to allow me polish… after much wasted time… for the $ 16 non-​manicure manicure. No, $ 18 because the brand I picked was more expensive.
After she began polishing my rough nails without buffing or even a basecoat… I was done! I told her to take it off, you’ve been paid, and I left.
The worst part of it all was, the girl who did the worst hand CLEARLY saw what the problem was, but they chose to treat the issue as if I was causing problems or changing my mind. She KNEW what was wrong! Later they even tried to claim that the police threat was only for conflict resolution. She threatened to call the cops, and I never so much as raised my voice. I didn’t state that I wouldn’t pay either. I merely pointed out that the manicure was not complete. That’s literally all I did.
I went in wanting a full spa manicure and no chip polish plus waxing. Why would I put myself through that sort of trouble? The accusations coupled with the color of my nail bed remark, leave me to believe racial bias was at play. I don’t have… dark nail beds, uncoverable by polish, or anything weird that such an idiotic comment should ever come out of anyone’s mouth.
Eyebrows? Of course not. I’m an Oak Parker. And while this town is far from perfect, it’s a place that boasts its diversity. It’s not the place for bigotry.
