Probably the best dry e-file pedicure I've had yet!!!

I'm glad I read the reviews and looked through the answers from the shop. My nail technician was experienced and not only gave me a flawless pedicure she was skilled in repairing toenails and sculpting as well. I'm very picky... This was the most detailed pedicure I've had to date. If you don't live nearby - it's worth the drive and it's affordable!

The salon itself was welcoming and clean. There was a very small language barrier, but it didn't matter because my tech was so good that she really didn't need to speak to me 101. She knew exactly what she was doing.

I know my pedicure will last 4 weeks as my best oneshave because I saw the technique.
Call and bookladies !

Look no further for your new favorite nail salon.

Like many others, I discovered the Russian pedicure service on social media, and this is the closest location to me. I've happily driven 45 minutes to get the mani-pedi of my dreams. The attention to detail and cuticle cleanup is unmatched.

Prices are quite affordable too. What's different than the typical mani-pedi - expect to spend more time at the salon while your nails are meticulously cleaned up. My first pedicure ran about 90 minutes. For a gel mani-pedi with e-filing it took a little over two hours.

If you're looking for a super relaxing time with lengthy massage, this probably isn't your place, but if you want the cleanest looking nails and toes this is your spot.

"I am a girl who does not really care for her hair. I get haircuts ones every year or maybe even two. I don't get my hair done. EVER. It's just hair, it'll grow back or I can always tie it back.

Yesterday, I just had a moment where "I'm gonna bleach my hair" out of nowhere. And so I did. Screwed up. Regretted it so much. Now I started to look for places that can take me in ASAP.

I used their messaging option here on Yelp. They responded so fast and was able to get me an appointment in 2 hours. I'm amazed! They were busy when I got there.

As i said. I never got my hair done before. So I don't know what to ask for. But Olga helped me out so much! All her suggestions worked out. I walked out with a big smile under my mask and very happy with the outcome. Now I may have to come back more often to get this look done all the time."

"Hello,
I emailed them late at night to get an estimate for my hair and they replied in a timely manner. I am very happy with my hair. I got black hair and blue highlights. They did a great job, I love it! I was able to get an appointment the same day. They are very nice, and attentive to you. They want you to be happy with the results, and I am.
I will definitely be coming back, and trying their pedicure and manicure services. They are clean, and professional. Thank you !!"

I scheduled a same day appointment by messaging the salon on here. I received a surprisingly fast response. Went in for a hair appointment and normally I go to Zazas in Lincolnshire but I was closer to this location today and figured why not. My stylist was Olga and she was extremely nice and gentle when working on my hair. I have long thick hair so I felt bad because I'm sure her back probably started to hurt right away. She asked for picture references and I'm happy she did because not most stylists do that so I usually just explain. She definitely executed well and often asked if the length/look was good before moving on which I appreciated! I would recommend to family/friends!

I decided late Thursday to try and get an appointment for Friday. I reached out to Glamour Salon and Spa and received a response almost immediately. When I arrived Friday, I was greeted by everyone and introduced to Olga. She washed, dried, and straightened my hair. Then came the cut, and Wow!! She did exactly what I wanted and I love it! As a military wife, it's hard to find a new salon when we move, but Olga now has a new client as I will be back!

"I had an appointment with Fatima for brazilian waxing. Let me tell you this: I'm brazilian myself, and I've been getting brazilian waxing in top places there for 10y, then in very nice salons in NY for 5y. When I moved from NY to the suburbs of Chicago I was worried I wouldn't find a nice place to get it done as well as I'm used to. I decided to give this place a try. Fatima is by far the best! She knows exactly what she is doing, she is extremely professional and as a result of this the process is quicker, roughly painless and smooth. I couldn't be happier! Don't get fooled for this small place, her service quality is immeasurable. Not only she's professional, but she is a sweetheart! If you need an experienced and knowledgeable person for your high standard brazilian waxing, she's your person! Thanks, Fatima, you are the best!"

"I came to this salon with a horrible balayage job from a different salon that pretty much ruined my hair, (look at attached before and after pictures) I didn't even know if anything could be done to fix my hair but Olga was able to fix my hair and do a proper balayage plus color correcting, I am so happy with my hair and I know it will only get better going forward. Olga is very nice and professional she gave me 100% of her time, she was constantly checking on the color and I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing. It's so hard to find a good colorist these days it's hard for me to trust anyone with my hair and Olga made me feel like I was in great hands which I was. I cannot wait for my next appointment. Thank you so much"

"When I learned Katya joined the team at Glamour Salon, I followed her for all my nail needs.The space is very appealing and spacious. Arthur, the owner, and his staff are super niceand welcoming. And Katya is a true nail technician. Not only does she do a superior job withmy manicures and somewhat challenging pedicures, but she's also soooooo friendly and funny.I live within minutes of nail spas, but I prefer to drive over 40 minutes to Glamour -- worth it!"

"Came here first time as new client and had a pedicure & no chip scheduled with Galina. She did a very good job and took her time, which I appreciated. I don't like when someone rushes and ends up looking sloppy. She was very personable and nice, we had great conversations. She truly is good at what she does & enjoys her job. I would highly recommend her and go back again. The owner is also extremely friendly and welcoming. Great people and place of business! Give them a try :)"

"By far the best salon I have been to! Lina is my hair stylist and she is hands down the best at her job! She knows what's best for your hair. I trust her with any hair service I need!

"I have been going to Glamour Salon for ten plus years. Tanya does my manicures, pedicures and waxes my face and Val is my hair stylist. When I walk into the salon, the staff make me feel like a princess; they always offer something to drink and eat! It is such an escape when I'm at the salon, always laughing and having fun--it's MY TIME FOR ME to relax and enjoy!

The owners Margaret and Arthur treat me like family. Margaret always hugs & kisses me hello.

There is never a scheduling problem-they always accommodate me & try to fit me in when accessible! The salon is very clean and lots of parking is available.
It's my go-to-place for relaxation! This salon deserves a 100% rating."

"I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Glamour, stylists, nail techs and make-up artist who did such fantastic work for us last weekend for my wedding! The half-up hairstyles for my sister, my daughter and me were absolutely gorgeous. The stylist who did my hair (so sorry I don't remember your name!) somehow knew exactly what I wanted even when I didn't know myself. And it stayed in place all day and night!

Hasmik did our makeup and that too was flawless. I never looked and felt so good in my life, and that is what you want on your wedding day! She listened to us and checked in on every step as she went. Very professional!

And I especially want to thank Katya who did my nails, french manicure. I don't like to get my nails done because I am very hard on them and they always chip. I don't like the heavy feel of no-chip or gels. I have to say that 5 days later these nails still look like I had them done this morning. Katya is magic with nails!

Thank you all so much!"

"I am visiting from out of town and wanted to treat myself and my daughter and niece to pedicures. I called Glamour around 2 pm and made my request. They kindly explained that they could accommodate me, but that they only had one nail technician so they would have to take us in order rather than all at once. They said that we could sit together and that they had coffee and other beverages. I made appointments for the two girls but decided not to get an appointment for myself, so the girls wouldn't have to wait as long.

First, the salon has good signage and is easily located, with ample parking. We were greeted kindly at the reception desk and welcomed by our manicurist, Tanya. She appeared delighted to work on the girls and a few other people in the salon commented on how lovely they were. (In my experience, salons are not always as welcoming to young customers, so this was particularly nice.)

She offered the girls and me beverages (we had hot cocoa and mochas) and had them seated next to each other in the big comfy pedicure chairs. She directed me to a nearby seat with a table for me to set up my laptop and work. A gentleman stopped by after a few minutes and offered me the wifi password, which I gratefully accepted.

I worked comfortably for almost two hours while the girls got their toes done. At the end, Tanya fitted the girls with the thin foam flip flops and I paid, took their shoes and pulled up the car.

The price for a pedicure was very reasonable, and Tanya worked hard to scrub the girls' feet and massage their legs. The salon was clean and warm on a chilly day, and everyone I encountered was very friendly. I can't say enough good things!"
