About

Faeri Studio works only in gel. The address is given at booking, and the studio sits near Evanston Space in Evanston, IL 60201. The menu moves from simple gel polish and Russian manicures to extensions, repairs and detailed nail art.

The Russian manicure uses a hard gel overlay for added strength. The Russian pedicure is waterless, using an e-file for cuticle work, with callus smoothing, a foot scrub and massage. The two can be booked together as a bundle for 10% off, and extensions are offered in Gel-X and in a medium-length claw shape built with dual forms and polygel.

The nail art menu includes three styles. The Korean and Chinese style manicure combines a dry manicure with gel overlay, magnet gels, gems, chrome, soft aura colors and silver or gold details. The Japanese style manicure takes motifs from Japanese nature and is adapted from a Tokyo nail salon. The Omakase experience builds a custom design from collages and palettes the nail artist chooses for each client, using 3D gels, chrome powders and inks.

Studio hours are Monday 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM, Friday 4 PM to 6:30 PM, and Sunday 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Tuesday and Saturday are closed. Designs and colors are confirmed before the gel is cured, and changes requested after curing carry a $15 correction fee. Free repairs are offered within seven days of an appointment. Card payments carry a 2.6% processing fee, and cash or Zelle is preferred to avoid it.

Booking rules are set for the longer services. The Korean and Chinese style manicure, Claws, Omakase experience and Japanese style manicure each require a $20 non-refundable deposit that goes toward the total. Changes need at least 24 hours notice, and arriving 15 or more minutes late without notice counts as a no-show. First-time clients are asked to arrive with bare nails, and the studio does not remove acrylic or foreign work.

Gel-only nail studio that builds designs around each client, with custom work planned from collages and palettes.
