About

Premier Nails works with clients from River North, Streeterville, the Magnificent Mile and the surrounding downtown area, operating out of Plaza 440. According to the salon, it is a highly rated nail studio based in River North and sees itself as a creative nail collective in Chicago, combining skilled artists, high-end products and individualized nail care.

The menu runs from quick polish changes and classic manicures to multi-step pedicures that include steam, hot stones and paraffin. Extension and overlay work includes Gel-X, builder gel, hard gel and acrylic, and dip powder can be applied over natural nails or with tips for added length. Russian manicures are done dry with e-file tools for cuticle care and nail shaping.

Waxing is offered for the face, body, arms, legs, underarms, stomach, chest and back, along with bikini and Brazilian services. Brazilian waxing takes all or almost all of the hair from the bikini area in a private waxing room, while bikini waxing shapes the sides and top of the bikini line.

Clients are asked to mention any tenderness, damaged skin, nail sensitivity or past product reactions before a service begins. Walk-ins are welcome when availability allows, and booking ahead is recommended for weekends, evenings and visits with several services. Appointments can be booked online through Vagaro or by phone at (224) 470-7742.

The salon combines gel, dip, extension, hard gel, acrylic and non-UV finish systems, and asks clients to share skin and nail sensitivities before any service.
