About

The salon describes itself as an upscale nail salon with a focus on natural nail care. It is located on S Kedzie Avenue in Chicago's 60652 area and runs a menu that covers hands, feet, lashes, brows, facials and body waxing.

The owner makes the body products used at the salon by hand: body butters, sugar scrubs, bath bombs and cuticle oils. These are used in every service and are also sold at retail, so clients can take the same products home.

Pedicures come in several levels. A standard pedicure is 60 minutes and includes natural products, a bath bomb, sugar scrub, shea butter massage, dead skin removal, cuticle work, filing, shaping, buffing and polish. The Lifestyle Pedicure is 75 minutes and adds hot towels or stone therapy. The Parlor Pedi, also 75 minutes, adds exfoliation, massage, nail grooming and callus removal. Men's pedicures are offered in matching versions.

Gel options include gel manicures that last up to two weeks, structured gel for added strength and shine, and poly gel as a lightweight, flexible alternative to acrylic. Gel extensions are available through Apres' services, and soak-off of acrylic or Apres' is offered for existing and new clients doing only that service. Combo pricing pairs a manicure with a pedicure in several combinations.

Lash sets range from a soft, natural look to a fuller, more dramatic set, and fills are offered at two and three week intervals with a minimum amount of existing lashes required. Facials include an express option for all skin types, a signature treatment suited to first-time clients, a custom facial that requires esthetician approval before booking, and a back facial with extractions and high frequency.

Hours are Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM and Saturday from 7 AM to 3 PM. The salon is closed on Mondays and Sundays. New clients pay a deposit on most services, and deposits or booking fees are required for first-time bookings and for clients without a payment method on file.

Appointments can be canceled, rescheduled or adjusted with 24 hours' notice. Same-day cancellations are charged half the price of each scheduled service, and cancellations made less than 3 hours ahead are charged the full price. No-shows are charged the full amount booked, and late clients may not receive every scheduled service but are still charged for all of them. No refunds are given, and children are not allowed at appointments. Gift cards come in $50, $75, $100, $200 or a custom amount and cannot be refunded.

Focused on natural nail care, with handmade natural body products used throughout the services and sold at retail.
