This is by far the best salon in Chicago. I have never had much luck with gel manicures at other salons. I felt my manicures would always chip after one week. But this is not the case with Madelyn’s Spa!! They take their time ensuring each manicure is perfect & now my nails last 3-4+ weeks without any chips or problems. I also always go in asking for different designs & they’re always up for the challenge! I cannot recommend Madelyn’s enough!!

I tried this salon out due to my usual nail tech being out of town and the location. I got a gel pedicure and was supposed to get a double french nail design with tip. The person I was assigned cut my toenails uneven and didn't seem to understand. She also gave me rounded toenails even though I repeatedly asked for square shape at least 3x. She attempted to "fix it" and would've just filed all of my toenails away if I didn't stop her so now I am just stuck with badly shaped, short toenails for the next few weeks.
For the nails, it was just a very sloppy job and looks not even close to the picture I showed her. We ended up just removing everything because I was there over 4 hours and she just couldn't get it right (color, nail shape, line design). I don't recommend this salon. From my time there, it appears only the owner (I believe her name was Linn) is able to do quality work. If you are able to book her, then maybe it is worth it. Also, I was overcharged on all of the services I received.
Update**** the manager did reach out to me regarding the services I received and offered to do the design I wanted free of charge. I really appreciated this level of customer service so I returned for her to redo for me but unfortunately it is just not a good job so I will not be back to this nail salon. I did increase my rating to account for the manager’s customer service.
See images for reference. 1st is what I requested and 2nd is what I received. 3rd is my badly shaped toe 🥴

Highly recommend this nail salon! I went on a Thursday after work to get a no chip manicure/regular pedicure and my boyfriend got a standard mani/pedi and opted out of polish. I recommend calling ahead to make an appointment to ensure they have enough nail techs on that day.
My nail tech, Nancy, did an incredible job. She was so detail oriented and would take pauses to re-file a small part of my nail or fix a cuticle if she saw something out of place, and made sure to wrap each tip in polish for optimal staying power. Nancy also helped me pick a polish color after I chose one that would deposit little to no color (I wanted a sheer pink), and she was spot on. My nails look like GLASS they are so perfect.
My boyfriend's nail tech was Linn, and she gave him the best first experience. His nails look great and nicely cleaned up, and I don't think it will be his last trip there :)

I truly enjoyed my pampering and my nails never looked better

Was there a week ago while visiting from out of town. Within a few hours several nails had split down the middle and a week later they are completely ruined! Horrible workmanship, worst manicure ever! My once beautiful, long nails are now gone and owner is blaming me! BS
