I've been going to Top coat for over 2 years and I never had any problems. But I took my sister to get her nails done. She had a dip manicure with tips by Brian on 12/20/21. He was extremely rude as well as did not put any lotion or cuticle oil on her nails. Vy was a sweetheart and noticed how Brian was talking to my sister and did put lotion and cuticle on my sisters nails. One of her nails was smudged even after getting it redone. I will not be returning to top coat unfortunately as I am very disappointed with the way Brian talked to my sister.

I came as a walk in. They told me to wash my hands and get seated. I showed the nail technician what I wanted and she exactly replicated it. She finished my gel full set with no-chip polish & nail art within an hour and the nails turn out soo much better than expected. I had Helen do my nails. the french tip is exceptional, and the shape is perfect.

Made a 5:30 appointment and was fit in at 6:30. The equipment that I placed my hands in to dry the gel was filthy, dusty, grimy, and definitely not cleaned or sanitized. Service was nothing special. Feel sick from visiting this place...literally sick and coughing.

My go-to nail place for acrylics. The staff is friendly and work quickly. The store is very clean and relaxing. Any nail design I've brought in they've been able to do no problem. Highly recommend!

I've been coming to Top Coat since they opened this location back in 2018. I was working at the Merchandise Mart and needed to get my nails done, and I found them on Yelp. I first met the staff and owners when I was a student at UIC, they had a nail salon in the area called Maxwell Nail Spa at that time, and one day I realized the service wasn't the same anymore when they weren't there. When I say it's truly the best service I can ask for from a nail salon, I really mean it because they actually take their time on your service, and at each station they set a timer for however

Unprofessional

The technicians are very talented but the establishment as a whole is so unprofessional. I would recommend you only come here if you are not in a hurry and have an open schedule.
1. I made an appointment during my work lunch break and they started 40 mins later than planned.

2. I made an appointment and they moved me to two hours later without asking me or telling me so that I could avoid paying an Uber there and wasting my time. I had a wedding that day and has to find walk into a random place.

3. Today I had an appointment at 12 PM and it turns out the technician did not

I had a great experience and will definitely be back! Vy did my dip + tips manicure and she was fantastic. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for in terms of color and length and she matched it perfectly. I had an appt and was taken right on time on a busy Saturday.

Very clean place which I appreciated. Nice technician too. But they didn’t clean up the extra coloring around my nails so it looks terrible. I didn’t look closely until I left unfortunately.

I always have a great experience at this salon. It's extremely clean, bright, and all the technicians do a great job. It's definitely been my go-to salon since I moved to the area. Cleanliness and mask-wearing are very important, and their color selection is top notch! It's definitely not cheap, but for the location and quality of work, it's to be expected. Bottom line, I would recommend Top Coat to anyone in need of a quality nail experience.

Oh my god I love this place! I've gotten a few different people for pedicures and all have been great! Their Dip powder though... is by far one of the best in the city! I highly recommend Eric and/or Vy. 11/10!!!

I love coming here. I’ve had my dip manicure done by both Julie and Brian and they came out perfect both times. They pay very close attention to detail and never a single flaw with my nails. Very friendly staff!

This honestly might be the best mani/pedi I’ve had in many years. Hien treated my ombré dip like it was the most important art project she’d ever had. I left there just amazed at how professional and perfect everything was.

Randomly found this place, called at 3pm and got an appointment for 5pm, and Julie did an INCREDIBLE job with my nails!

She patiently soaked my last set of dip with tips/extensions off and was SO careful to preserve my natural nail and file gently (and didn't just yank the old nails off like some salons!), which was great because I have suuuper weak and brittle natural nails. I wanted transparent dip with a sparkle, so she layered a sheer dip with a sparkle dip as the last coat and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out. She was also so diligent and careful with the shape / filing. This was

I have been coming here for my nail pampering for years and even supported their small business through the pandemic because I felt they took all the right precautions. The manger D is very nice and Vy & Helen are amazing nail technicians. I am remiss I didn't write a review sooner - it would have been five stars!

Writing this makes me terribly sad, but I will be talking to their manger about this new person Olivia who was clearly in the wrong and made a terrible experience for me.

I am sharing this experience with all of you so it never happens here again!! A good salon manager will

Went on Memorial Day and they were only taking walk-ins, no appointments. Arrived shortly after they opened for a regular pedicure and gel manicure and didn’t have to wait. By the time I was done there was a wait for walk-ins.
My nail techs were nice and checked to make sure I was happy with the color I chose, nail shape, etc. The finished product looked just okay, the polish for my gel manicure could’ve been cleaner around the cuticles and seemed very thick overall. By day 6 more than half of my nails were starting to lift. Some were already lifting so much they were getting caught in my

Updating my review. I moved from the area and was excited to come back to this nail salon after a first experience. After yesterday, I will never return and I recommend that you don't either. I requested an ombré dip manicure and showed the nail technician a picture of what I wanted. Once she started to do the ombré, I realized that she was not experienced in doing this design. I've gotten it multiple times and it's no reason that each hand should take 45 minutes. And the ombré itself does not blend correctly (see pics below). On top of taking three hours (including removal of

This nail salon only has 3 technicians that can do acrylic or no chip or design! And they are OK at best.
So if you want anything other than a basic manicure, do not come here! The quality is poor and the pedicure water is disgusting they use the same tools on everyone.

Five stars all the way! Friends and I were in town and after a couple of days of walking and exploring, we needed some rest and a refresh. We found Top Coat on Yelp and it happened to be directly across the street from our hotel (we stayed at the Moxy). My friend got a pedi and I got a mani. As for my experience, it was great from start to finish. I wish I got my tech's name because she did a wonderful job shaping my nails. It's been a week and they still look great. The space was clean and they had health and safety measures set in place. I wish I could pack them up and bring them back

Normally love coming to Top Coat, it's my go to spot! Unfortunately i had a less than stellar no chip pedicure from Chloe yesterday. She cut my foot with the file/buffer tool and was bleeding so much had to get a bandaid. My big toenails were also cut to very different lengths so it looks odd (one clearly shorter than the other). I'll probably request a different tech next time.

On a positive, Tina did an amazing job on my powder dip manicure! I requested a colorful design and she was super easy going about it (even though i know it was more work.) Thank you Tina!!!

I love this nail salon! I've had multiple people do my nails here, (Helen, Tina) and they have done a great job! I'm very particular about the shape I want, and I get dip which would last 4 weeks if I wanted it to. My nails grow fast. They are very efficient, I have done an appointment and a walk in on a Friday afternoon. I was going to another place in streeterville and they just are not as good especially with the dip.

Vy exceeded my expectations! I just moved into river north and I needed a new nail technician. I was a little nervous to try a new place, but top coat nail spa did an AMAZING job.

Not only is Vy super nice and friendly, but her work is amazing! I showed her a picture if my inspiration and she perfectly matched it. She worked so hard and did it with a smile on her face the whole time.

Can't wait to already be back for my next appointment!

Alright don't be too mean when you see my hideous before picture lol.

I typically do my own nails but I don't happen to have my nail kit with me. I haven't had the time to get my nails done and by the time i'm free during the week everything is usually closed. Today I happened to have time and decided I really need to get a manicure. Especially after i almost tore a nail off while trying to fix my bed and breaking a nail at the gym.

I happened to call at 4:00pm and a sweet gentleman answered the phone. I saw a photo of nails I liked here on yelp and they caption helen as

So after posting this review the owner was quick enough to reply to me stating he did a thorough search and viewed the cameras. He then claimed there was no one with the name of Vy or Sara working in the salon, which is a blatant lie or that he suffers from mild amnesia or he is simply not a good owner who knows the names of his staff.
There are other reviews on here which refer to the technicians, some of them have clearly included the names Sara & Vy. Just saying!

Got the cutest nails done by Tina! Super affordable prices as well for downtown Chicago - $48 for a dip powder and they don’t charge to remove. This manicure is 3 weeks old and still looking flawless! Can’t wait to go back!
