  • For nail art or a specific look, ask to see the tech's portfolio.
  • Read recent Chicago reviews for wait times, durability, and cleanliness.
  • Ask about pricing up front — add-ons like designs and removals can add up.
  • If you have sensitivities, ask about ventilation and low-odor products.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Are the salon and technicians licensed?
  • What does the price include, and what's an add-on?

Frequently asked questions

How much does a manicure or pedicure cost in Chicago?

In Chicago, a classic manicure usually runs $20 to $40, a gel manicure $35 to $60, and a pedicure $35 to $75. Dip, acrylic, and nail art cost more.

How long does a gel or dip manicure last?

Gel typically lasts about two to three weeks and dip powder three to four, versus roughly a week for regular polish. Ask your Chicago tech what holds up best for you.

Are Chicago nail salons licensed and sanitary?

Reputable salons and technicians are state-licensed and either sterilize tools or use single-use ones. Clean stations and fresh files are good signs to look for.

What is the difference between gel, dip, and acrylic?

Gel is polish cured under a lamp, dip is a powder system, and acrylic builds length and strength. Each wears differently, so a good tech will recommend one for your nails.
