About

Muse Nail Bar is operated by Muse Nail Bar LLC and sits in the West Loop Gate. Metered street parking is available along Desplaines Street.

The salon's core offering is the Russian manicure, a dry technique centered on meticulous cuticle work, carried out with an electric file instead of soaking. Clients can finish it with standard lacquer, chip-resistant gel color, or a hard gel layer applied over the nails. Other choices include a standard manicure using Dazzle Dry, an American manicure with chip-resistant color but no overlay, and a range of pedicures, running from a basic pedicure without color to a smart pedicure that includes color, as well as a French pedicure.

Combined sessions pair a manicure and pedicure at a set price, with several combinations of Dazzle Dry, regular polish, hard gel and no-chip color. Gel extensions are offered for short and long nails, and the salon also handles gel and dip removal, polish changes and small repairs. A kids manicure is on the menu. The salon says every service is performed by an artist rather than a technician. Clients can get help choosing a service during a consultation. The studio has high ceilings and a gallery-style feel. The salon's Google reviews average 4.6 stars from 110 reviews, according to the salon's own listing of that rating.

Services are chosen with the client during a consultation, and the menu is organized around dry, detailed cuticle work and a range of gel and polish finishes.
