2025-12-14My mom, 11 year old daughter, and I began our five day stay in downtown Chicago to celebrate Christmas with manicures at Premier Nails. We walked in about noon on a Monday and were immediately sat together and helped with our color selection. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and all three of us were delighted with our Christmas manicure. The location is very close to the Royal Sonesta River North where we were staying, which was very convenient, but the service and end result ended up being fantastic as well!

2025-11-11Mai is absolutely amazing! She takes her time, pays attention to every little detail, and went the extra mile to make sure my nails look perfect. The salon is super clean, relaxing, and she’s so kind and welcoming. I left feeling pampered and happy — definitely one of the best nail experiences I’ve ever had!
