About

Real Nails is a neighborhood nail salon in Niles, Illinois, serving regular clients and first-time visitors alike. The salon describes nail care as both a craft and a way to express personal style, and it says it takes time to learn each client's preferences before starting work.

The menu covers hands and feet in several tiers. Classic and regular manicures sit at the base, with a VIP manicure adding a sugar scrub and paraffin treatment, and a no-chip option for longer-lasting polish. Pedicures range from a Spa Pedicure with nail shaping, callus removal and an exfoliating scrub, through the Deluxe Pedicure with a sea mineral salt soak, mud mask and a choice of six scents, to the Relaxing Rose Pedicure with a salt soak, rose petal mask, rose scrub and a paraffin step.

For longer-wear nails, the salon offers acrylic fill-ins and full sets, dip powder on natural nails or with extensions, builder gel, Gel-X extensions and gel full sets. Shapes available include almond, coffin, oval and stiletto, and pricing shifts with design, length and shape. Nail repair, French tip, ombre and nail art can be added to most services.

Combo packages pair a pedicure and manicure for adults or a Kiddie combo for younger guests. Children ages 10 and under have their own menu of manicures, pedicures and polish services, and the salon also offers waxing for face and body areas.
