Ooh Nice Nails

Ooh Nice Nails is based in Crown Point and serves clients across Chicago and Northwest Indiana. The business says it creates high-end, avant-garde nails that are built to last. Clients can book in-salon manicures, priced all-inclusive by the hour, and the salon is open Monday through Thursday with later hours on Wednesday. There is a no gratuity policy, so tipping is not expected.

Beyond the salon, the business travels to VIP, private, celebrity and editorial clients. It also makes press-on nails for advertising campaigns, photo shoots and special events, and works on set.

Education is a major part of the business. Options include in-person nail classes in Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland, online nail education, a live 90-minute virtual class called Social Media for Nail Pros with a replay included, and Nail Tech Intensives focused on targeted business and nail skill development. Classes focus on gel-based products only, and acrylic and dip training is not offered.

A 12-week private mentorship for nail professionals covers both nail skills and business strategy, including pricing, service menu structure, retention, social media and client boundaries. It is priced at $2,800 with payment plans available. A single session costs $300 and includes one 90-minute session and seven days of light messaging support. Mentorship suits established professionals or those preparing to work independently, and is not designed for hobbyists or acrylic-only training.

Focuses on nail work meant to hold up in real salon conditions, with education that teaches transferable skills rather than a single brand.
