Nailtastic Studio

Nailtastic Studio sits in River North on North Orleans Street, a short walk from Downtown, the West Loop, Michigan Avenue and the Gold Coast. It is easy to reach by the Brown and Purple Line stops and is close to the Merchandise Mart.

The menu covers everyday nail care alongside more involved work. Clients can book a basic manicure or pedicure, a gel manicure that resists chipping, or Gel-X gel extensions. The hot stone massage pedicure is one of the studio's named offerings, and nail art is available. Facial waxing is also on the menu.

The salon describes itself as toxin-free and says it works to limit chemicals linked to poor air quality and skin irritation. It uses non-acetone polish removers whenever possible and stocks a range of non-toxic, organic and vegan polishes, including Dazzle Dry. It does not offer acrylic or dip services.

Visitors can reserve ahead or walk in. Complimentary beverages are served, and clients may bring their own drinks. Gel fixes are free within 7 days of the service date, using the same polish. Services are not refundable, and gift cards are sold at the salon. The salon describes its prices as inexpensive.
