This salon is pretty cool they carry zoya polish which I used to go to Revive in Wicker Park to get. I'm happy to have a closer option in the neighborhood. Sammi has done a great job with starting on time, being patient and professional. I only give 4 stars because I don't like their payment system. Booking online requires you to pay in advance, when I attempted this route it failed. Ultimately, I had to call in to book the appointment. If you tip on your card you have to pay a service charge. Additionally, you have to tell your technician what you're tipping them and that creates an uncomfortable pressure. Overall if you're in the neighborhood give them a try. I just recommend bringing cash.

12July 2017 Update
I love most things about OMG Nail Spa - the decor, the massage, the fact that they also do eyebrows, but I had to amend my review from earlier this year because the service I received today was just okay. The receptionist/front desk clerk was efficient/nice, but my nail technician (name started with a B- I can't recall what it was) was just okay. I had her awhile back, but I was willing to give her another chance because the young man and other young woman I knew were busy. Anyway, she cut my toenails too low (1 a little uneven) and really didn't apply much pressure at all when buffing + massaging for pedicure and manicure. I asked her as she began to rub the "buffing tool" on my heels/feet to apply more pressure because I could barely feel anything she was doing.This is frustrating because the massage factor is the reason I pay extra to come here vs. other salons in the area. Usually after a pedicure my feet are baby soft, but not today/this evening. She also took a long time on my manicure (I know because a woman who came in after me finished before me - we both got the exact same services) and gives really light/shorter shoulder massages than other techs. The moral of the story: If you find someone you like here, ask or request them AND don't be afraid to ask for a different tech if you know you're being assigned to one you didn't like before.

**IMPORTANT NOTE: There's an extra fee if you pay your gratuity on your credit card so bring cash. Parking is metered and hard to find on weekends, especially Sundays when you don't have to pay the meters so get to the area early to look for parking.**
I'd heard about this place from several people as it's down the street from me, but today was my first visit after my regular spa messed up my appointment. Called in for a no chip mani and got in within 15 minutes. Everyone was friendly. Serena (Sarina, not sure how to spell it) went to work after pouring me a small glass of white wine and then, quickly transforming my rough cuticles and tips. Within minutes, she was sliding on these collagen gloves to protect my hands from the UV light of the gel drying machine. These were awesome because there was lotion in them that she then used to massage my hands and arms. She covered with a warm towel, then gave me the best 10-12 minute neck/shoulder/back massage I ever had!! While this no chip was more than the full service day spa I normally go to, the massage made the extra amount worth it.

Very relaxing atmosphere, clean, and nice staff with really good service they offer you a drink as soon as you are seated. My manicurist was a little shy. But that's ok because sometimes you don't feel like having a chit chat. I feel like I could have a nap now so relaxed.
