Also beware, they try to get slick with their product. I wanted a full get set of nails. Mind u with gel, they use GEL ONLY to sculpt the nail & overlay the set. I think her name was Ashley, used a damn powder to put over my nail. That shit started burning immediately. I told her no, when i get nails Gel only is used. I didnt say acrylic. So she mumbled something in her language & then removed it to start over. Gel doesn’t hurt ur nails people. Pay attention to what these people are doing. Will not be going back there

This is my go-​to nail place! I love everyone that works here, and the décor is very inviting. I get an acrylic fill every two weeks, and wouldn’t go anywhere else! Their pedicures are also great

I went in for a no-​chip and LOVED the results! With the DePaul discount, a $ 35 no chip ended up being $ 32. The salon is adorable, clean and larger than it looks from the outside. The music was current pop and some throwbacks — very fun and energetic. They had TONS of no chip colors (more than other places I’ve been to in the city) and the manicurist had great attention to detail, making sure no polish was left on the skin. I can’t wait to go back for my next no chip!

I loved this place! I called at 6:30 (they close at 8) to see if they could squeeze in two people for mani-​pedis. They didn’t seem like they were able to and then I think she called someone in to work just for us! The service was wonderful. We brought in our own nail polish but they had tons of colors! I loved the décor and felt really relaxed the entire time we were there.
Just an fyi for anyone byob-​ing: they have glasses! We bought solo cups and totally didn’t need to because they keep wine glasses there!

I tipped in cash and wrote «cash» in the spot where you can add tip to your card. Later, I see on my bank statement they added an extra $ 12 on my card in the tip area after I tipped $ 12 in cash. Crooks.

I’ve been to Be Polished twice now for parties. They are super accommodating, friendly, and make it so you simply never want to leave. I’ve also gotten a great pedi each time I’ve gone.
Finally, they’re also BYOB whether you’re there for a private party or not which is definitely a huge plus in my book. Additionally, the time we were there for a private party they also let us order pizza and bring snacks, etc
Be Polished gets an A+ in my book and I’d highly recommend this spot.

I love this place. And not only because I’m literally a 5 minute walk from it. The first time I ever did the no chip on my nails it was at Be Polished. I was on vacation in Florida and had it done there and I had expected the same quality since the price was almost the same. Boy was I wrong.
Nhi is AMAZING. She leaves my nails looking flawless and the color is always perfectly even.
I will continue to come here even if I don’t reside in this area. Thank you again Nhi.

I LOVE this place!!! Everyone that works at Be Polished is so friendly and accommodating! I live in Logan Square and come all the way here because the service is amazing! My no chips last almost 3 weeks!!!(I’m a hairdresser most no chips come off in a week maybe week and a half because of being in water so much, but not with the no chips I receive here!) I’m probably going to botch her name on the spelling but Ni (pronounced knee) is so amazing, she’s sweet and has great conversation! I’ll keep coming back!

I love Be Polished. The service is great.
Great results with my no-​chip and they even encourage you to come in for a fix if it chips before two weeks are up.
Prices are average.

I have come to this place so often that I finally need to write a review about how great it is. Everyone is so welcoming at this nail salon and truly want to give you the best service possible. I have had manicures, pedicures and no chip manicures done here and have never once had a bad experience. My nails always end up looking beautiful and the nail polish selection here is great too– they have SO many colors to choose from. I live a little closer to a few other nail salons but none of them compare to Be Polished so its worth the extra travel distance to get the results I really want :)

I brought my bridal party here to treat them to mani-​pedis the day before the wedding. We had an appointment that I booked in advance because there were like 8 of us. It was slightly annoying that there were women who walked in and got to use some of the pedicure chairs when we had appointments and a rehearsal to be at in a few hours. But overall, we had a wonderful experience. Great service and really nice workmanship. My pedicure lasted like 2 months! Actually all the girls commented about how much they liked their mani-​pedis.

Loved this place. Very friendly conversation and they taught me about the no-​chip since I’ve never had one done before. My new spot. $ 35 for no-​chip but discount if you pay with cash

I am NOT a nail person, holy cow… I cannot emphasize that enough. I hate the fact that when you get a manicure it chips the next day, such a waste of money. I am much more a pedicure person.
HOWEVER gel nail polish is amazing and SO worth the money. It lasts for 2 weeks and doesn’t chip. Billy (he’s very quiet so you may feel as though he hates you but he doesn’t) and I have become friends (it took a couple times). He chooses my nail color for me (because I am so horrible at making decisions) and he picks the best color every time.
I have morphed into a gel nail polish super fan and there’s no looking back.
This place is great. BYOB. Hang out with Billy.

Quick service and good color selection. Reasonable prices, but it’s a better deal if you get the mani pedi combo. Manicure is $ 15 I believe, pedicure is $ 27, but together they’re only $ 35. They have a punch card too!

First visit, awesome. Second visit, also awesome. Third visit, … awkward.
I called ahead and made an appointment, and anticipated a pampering experience. When I walked in, there were 3 – 4 male nail techs lounging around. It had a very weird vibe with so many guys and me, the lone girl. Lots of male banter the whole time I was there. The mani-​pedi itself was average, nothing special, obviously it wasn’t the girl I had the first 2 times that remembered my name and the color I liked.
***NOTE: It was about 18 months ago and I’m writing this update now because the experience was that awkward and my original review doesn’t hold up.

I never thought I’d have a preference for a nail salon, but I love this place — and I go out of my way past at least a dozen other salons to go there.
They are always extremely friendly and warm, and they’ve always done an excellent job with my manis/​pedis. A mani will last about a week, and the pedis 3 – 4 weeks on average.
I went there for the first time about a year and a half ago with two friends. We were planning the one friend’s bachelorette party, and we liked Be Polished so much that we decided to start the bachelorette evening off there several months later. They closed the shop early for us, had a folding table set up to accommodate food and wine, and even supplied an ice bucket and wine glasses. They could not have been more welcoming or accommodating.

Went here on a whim since I was in Lincoln Park and had time to spare before meeting up with a friend. It wasn’t too crowded so I got started right away for my manicure. Nail technician was friendly and not overly chatty which I enjoyed. Full service on the mani — nails trimmed, cuticles pushed/​cut, moisturize, base coat, polish (2 coats), and then top coat… drum roll please… cost was $ 12!!! I was expecting to pay more b/​c I guess I didn’t really consider this a basic manicure, but maybe in Chicago standards it’s a basic service, well I didn’t think anything about it was basic.
I wish I lived close enough to «splurge» an manis at least a couple times a month, but alas I’ll have to be content with self-​service on my own because no salon in my town can beat the quality for the price.
