About

The salon opened with the goal of bringing high-quality nail care and modern nail artistry to the 26th Street and Cermak community. It describes itself as a neighborhood spot for beauty, creativity and relaxation in Chicago.

The founders believe nails can change more than appearance, affecting how a person feels about themselves, how they express themselves and their mood. That idea shapes a menu that runs from quick maintenance, such as nail cut downs and polish changes, to full sets and longer spa appointments.

The deluxe pedicure menu is the most detailed part of the offering. Spa Pedicure is a basic pedicure with sea salt exfoliation, a massage and callus smoothing for dry heels. Honey Princess Spa starts with a honey scrub and paraffin wax on both feet and ends with a lotion massage and warm towel wrap. Hot Mask Therapy Spa adds gentle exfoliation, paraffin and a butter mask massage. Luxury Spa combines the Honey Princess soak with hot stone therapy, a sugar scrub, butter mask, paraffin oil massage and a warm towel leg wrap. The top tier, Heral Detox Pedicure, includes an herbal neck wrap, nail trimming, cuticle care, callus removal, a fresh orange sugar scrub, hot stone massage with candle oil, a mud mask with hot towel, and a neck and shoulder massage. Gel polish can be added to it for an extra $15.

Clients can book through the Book Now link on the website. According to the salon, card prices run about 2% above the cash prices listed on the services page.

Services are carried out by trained staff using high-end products, and the salon puts particular weight on keeping nails healthy.

The interior is thoughtfully designed and the feel is welcoming and relaxing.
