The best salon ever in my life, I used to be a nail tech and I know what is quality about. Ademyi is very detail oriented, always charming and provides best designs. Each visit I encounter new colors, new brand of polishes, always on top of the market . โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

I normally always get Russian manicures and I know it takes a longer time but this visit took 2.5 hours.. Iโ€™m not sure why the nail tech took such a long time. I asked for a basic French tip, and the tips are not all even. There is also a hole under my thumb between my real nail and the builder gelโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not sure how that happened but I will have to get that fixed because Iโ€™ve seen that can cause infection if water gets stuck under there. I was also cut a few times during the cuticle process. I never post reviews but for the price, time spent and paying more for a โ€œtop nail artistโ€ I expected a better service.

This was my first time getting a russian manicure and hard gel and Iโ€™m not sure that I can go back to regular gel now! The salon was extremely clean, professional, and they even made us a special fall latte. I entrusted these wonderful nail techs with my wedding nails, brought my friends with, and they did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a nice photo of the fresh nails but I received TONS of compliments. The french tips were perfect and the chrome on top was a chefs kiss. Aika was my nail tech and sheโ€™s just amazing. Made sure the nails were to perfection! Iโ€™m so excited to come back and share with my friends.

Iโ€™ve been visiting this salon for a while since I moved to Des Plaines, and Iโ€™m always impressed! The staff is friendly and professional, and my nails always look amazing and last more than 4 weeks. They also have a loyalty program for savings on future visits. Highly recommend for long-lasting, high-quality nails. Also their drink menu is a nice bonus.
