About

The salon takes its name from Chicago's 312 area code. Its River North flagship serves clients from River North, Streeterville, Gold Coast, Magnificent Mile and Downtown Chicago, and the salon describes itself as a premier downtown destination for affordable luxury nail care. The Wheeling, Northbrook and Arlington Heights locations each keep their own website, pricing and booking system, so prices and availability should be checked on the location you plan to visit.

The salon says it aims to pair high-end nail craftsmanship with clinical-level hygiene. Metal tools are sterilized in hospital-grade autoclaves and sealed in pouches that are opened in front of the client, and single-use disposable kits, files, buffers and pedicure liners are used for each guest. The salon says it puts nail health, premium service and consistent quality first.

The menu covers Russian manicures done as a dry technique with an electric e-file, without soaking the hands, along with Gel-X extensions, custom acrylic sets, structured builder gel and dip powder. Pedicures range from classic and deluxe to honey and milk, champagne and rose, gel and CBD relief options, and mani-pedi combinations are also offered. There is a kids menu for children under 10, along with facial and body waxing and eyelash extension sets.

At the River North location, walk-ins are welcome based on technician availability, though booking online or by phone is recommended to secure a preferred technician. Clients can bring an inspiration photo from Pinterest or Instagram for an upfront consultation before hand-painted nail art, and anyone with a set from another salon is asked to bring it in so the technician can advise on a fill, rebalance or removal. Complimentary drinks such as wine, champagne, craft beer or sodas are offered during appointments. Groups of four or more get dedicated scheduling, and private events such as bridal showers, bachelorette parties, birthdays and corporate outings can be requested; parties of 10 or more are asked to submit a request at least a month ahead.

The salon focuses on nail health, premium service and consistent quality, with hospital-grade sterilization of metal tools and single-use disposables for each client.

The Wheeling salon is spacious and elegant with a relaxing feel, and the Arlington Heights salon is modern, open and clean.
