This has been the best nail salon experience Ive had here in Chicago. The ONLY PLACE I ever felt cared for and not just a number, hurried to get in and out. Mona was attentive, caring, and truly a pleasant energy! Id recommend this spot to anyone looking to feel seen and truly cared for during their services. I look forward to further supporting GingerSlam and exploring more of their services.
I made an appointment 3 weeks in advanced because it’s that booked in here!Jk, but I went with my boyfriend and it was harder to get a slot for 2 people.Anyways! They provided great service I loved that they take your time and it’s a really cute and cozy place. My boyfriend enjoyed his experience and well my no-chip did not want to come off lol!
I really loved the pedicure here! They were really kind to my 5 year old nephew and treated him with so much warmth. The manicure was alright but the pedicures are really nice here.
Went there for a first time and definitely will be back! The stuff is friendly and ladies did a great job! Also don’t forget to schedule an appointment I just got lucky and a guy at a front desk let me in for services right away since I just walked in. The place is clean and looks really cool. I totally recommend this salon!
It is a great place, loved my mani-pedi. Just wish the nail techs talked more. It seems like the place should be more integrated in mexican culture or at least knowledgeable since its located in rogers park.
This is a great establishment, go story support your local small businesses! My pedicure is still great a week later and Im sure it will be next week and the week after! The space was cozy and comfortable, I loved it.
Great place, my no chip nails usually last 2+ weeks. Owners and staff are friendly, music is good, and usually have decent stuff on tv. Great with covid precautions. Temp, wash hands, and plastic partitions.
What a lovely experience in a Safe salon. This was a birthday treat, but Ill definitely be back!
Fantastic service, in a beautiful, clean shop! They beautifully balance service and comfort with Covid compliance!
Discovered this place on Groupon. Cute shop, staff are nice and friendly, and prices are reasonable.
Gingerslam is fantastic, especially with their covid guidelines. They are clean, professional, and very welcoming. I go with a friend of mine and we always have a lovely time. Mona and Becky are fantastic Nail Technicians! Theyre very detail oriented and always check in to see how youre doing and carry on great conversations. Its a great atmosphere and always a great experience!
I received a mani/pedi here for the first time & I loved it! The staff is super friendly and they have a COVID protocol which made me feel comfortable. It feels good to have a little normalcy in a safe way.I can’t wait to go back.
This crew is amazing! Super thoughtful, fun environment. Extra clean and careful. Highly Recommend!!
Great atmosphere, great people, and great work! The place was clean, welcoming, and relaxing. Would recommend!
Everyone here was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable! It was clean, cozy, and super cute. I had to have acrylics removed and my nails fixed and they did a great job. Thank you for fixing my nails and helping me have a relaxing afternoon!! Ill be back.
Gingerslam is an amazing nail salon!
I love this place. Theres always parking right in front. The main guy that answers phones and make appointments (Im so bad with names, sorry) is amazing. You can text for appointments. I feel like the nail techs actually care about what theyre doing. Communicating with everyone was breeze. Felt very safe during Covid.
There is not a better nail salon on the North Side! Professional, organized, thorough, friendly, bright cozy shop, dedicated to the neighborhood. Owners and staff have a loyal following. So happy to have found this jewel!
Very clean and ultra cute nail boutique. I have had great spa pedicures. The paraffin is my absolute favorite! My toe nail polish stays on for 4+ weeks!
Found this spot based on google reviews :-) Got mani/pedis here prior to my wedding with my mom sister and grandma a few weeks ago. They were fantastic. It is a really cute salon and all of our aestheticians were great. Clean, prompt and did a lovely job. They were gentle with my mom and grandma who don’t get their nails done often. Two weeks later and my gel manicure and regular polish pedi are both still pristine!
Cool place. Unlike most other nail salons. Only four chairs. Very low key. The paraffin wax treatment is pretty nice. Good music choices. Really nice people. Give it a try.
GingerSlam is a great place for a mani-pedi. Bring a bottle and relax. Great staff.
FANTASTIC!!!... lovely boutique Nail salon. Great staff. Delicious pedicure with scrub and lotion AND MASSAGE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDINITIAL REVIEW AND MEANT IT!!!!... reason I rebooked for a last minute manicure before my travels. Went home with unfinished unpolished nails.The manicurist was lovely and sweet.... She did my fabulous pedicure a week ago. The acting proclaimed manager/co-owner needs to go back to “customer service” school. ZERO ETHICS!!!!... VALUE YOUR CUSTOMERS.Became involved in a conversation between myself and manicurist over a discoloration on my middle finger nail due to a past acrylic overlay....quickly to call out “Illinois stature on hygiene blah blah and STOPPED MY SERVICES”...I had a “FUNGUS”???!!!...... will not go into details, except to say RUDE, INSULTING AND unacceptable behavior!.... NOT a Manager/co-owner behavior. I am still in shock.Offered to pay for services **NOT**RENDERED AND SHE TRIED TO REFUSE...(employee did half the work and deserved gratuity).... my tip $10.00 for unfinished work. Still happy to pay her for services rendered. Not her fault!Still in shock, I advised her to work on her skills (Maybe she had a long sad miserable day..... trying to find reasons to excuse her “crazy”)...STILL I complimented the salon and my first initial past experience. I will be back regardless I said to her!!!!!.... Her response, YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED BACK!.... WHAT???.... More insults???I will be taking this complaint to the better business bureau. I have never in 51 years been so insulted and disrespected.... one would think I had leprocy. All over a green nail discoloration. Left to do my own nails 24hrs before my travels. WHAT HAPPENED?.... this manager needs a vacation desperately.... being king.
Love this place. Awesome ambiance and great pedicure.
I’ve been here twice so far and I love it! They do a fantastic no chip mani pedi that I have fallen in love with! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a variety of people and they are always more than willing to talk with you and start a conversation! It’s so nice and feels like they genuinely care about you!
Amazing folks providing a real spa experience.
Beautiful establishment when you walk in, very welcoming feeling. All of the ladies were so professional and nice. I highly recommend but make sure you call ahead, appointments are available to make via text and call.
Great nail salon and very friendly staff! Got a wonderful pedicure here :)
The service is so excellent! the people there are very friendly! It is so clean especially because of covid and i felt very safe there! very pleased with my expierance!
This is a really cool place. It is small but the inside is really open. It does not feel cramped at all. It has a fresh vibe and is a great place to spend half the day pampering yourself.Before I get to the actually services, let me tell you...this place is BYOB. Thats right..you can bring your own wine or other adult beverage. Its a great idea if you are going there with some friends. I could definitely see a bridal party coming there and enjoying their time.The services are what you would expect. I think its $17.00 for a manicure and $25.00 for a pedicure. The stand out service is why you keep coming back. Mona is so patient and friendly. She really makes the experience enjoyable. After all, getting your nails done is quite boring, but the experience is what makes it manageable. Alcohol and good conversation...it cant get any better.
Love this place! Im definitely not the typical type to get a manicure or pedicure, but everyone, especially the owner, made me feel welcome and comfortable. I got a pedicure--it was very well done, and nearly 2 weeks later, my toes still look and feel wonderful. Its a clean place (that should go without saying) and their prices are very reasonable. I live in the neighborhood but I would go out of my way to go there. Already have a second appointment!
My daughter who goes here regularly with her daughter brought me in Saturday for some girls time.This place has a great vibe to it. At no time did I feel anything other than relaxed and comfortable. Everyone I met had wonderful personalities and were having fun at work.How cool is that!? Ill be back for sure. Thank you for a great no chip manicure!!
This spot is really awesome! The entire staff is very inviting and Liz was very attentive to detail. Would definitely recommend.
Great nail salon and such a neighborhood gem! I always feel so welcome and always leave with professional, top notch looking nails and toes. Best pedicures Ive ever received and thats saying a lot because I often show up with ingrown nails, callused feet, and rugged cuticles! The staff and owners are displays of exemplary customer service!
Great place for a pedicure. The atmosphere is calming and the technicians are very talented. Their prices are very affordable as well!
Just left after my first time here and I could not be happier. The staff made me (and my husband, who was only accompanying me) feel very welcome and comfortable. The vibe is friendly and positive. The decor is very cute and appeasing to the eye. The color selection was top notch and most importantly, they did a fantastic job. Becky was a gem. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
I have been going to Ginger Slam regularly for the last year or so. The quality of the product and the friendliness of the personnel are unparalleled! They work hard to earn your business and keep it! You will not be disappointed!
I cant believe I lived around the corner from this salon and it took me 3 years to visit. Its small and funky and not your typical nail salon vibe -- bright decor, no odors, super clean. I love the selection of vegan nail polishes and the spa pedi goes WAY beyond just the nice chair. Its like, a 4-step process including paraffin that leave your feet super smooth. If youre looking for a local gem where youll be greeted with hot tea, a vigorous massage pedicure chair, and a lovely, welcoming staff -- stop on in. I just found my new regular nail salon.
Such a calm and relaxing atmosphere. I walked in, was greeted by name (I made my first appointment over the phone and it was my first time there), and was offered tea or water. Everyone was very professional and friendly. My nails and feet are exactly what I wanted. I also couldnt get enough of the massage chair. Ill be back!
I love this salon! From the moment I walked in, I was treated with friendly and welcoming faces. I had a a walk-in for gel/no chip manicure and regular pedicure and was seen right away. The owner and all of the staff was so kind. The salon is impeccably clean and decorated beautifully. Their prices are very fair and their work is detailed yet efficient. I am so happy I found this incredible salon within walking distance! If you’re looking for a new place, look no further!
They always do a great job so my mother took her granddaughter for a manicure and the kiddo loved it! Professional staff, relaxing atmosphere, they take their time and always do a stellar job on my nails.
Everyone working here was very enjoyable to be around. The service was great. They took their time and were quite meticulous. I saw strong attention paid to keeping stations and tools clean. I came in on crutches, post surgery, they were very accommodating, patient and understanding. The only thing Id change is to enjoy their byob policy next time.
I originally went here with a Groupon. I continue to go back because of the excellent job the techs do, how welcoming and friendly they are, and how lovely and relaxing the space is.
Opera, Mrs. Maisel, Vargas art, delouicious tea, and moisturizing pedicures? In the belly of Rogers Park? You are there.
My daughter gave me a Groupon for a Mani-Pedi here for my birthday. I had no idea this gem was so close! Super clean, tons of colors, excellent technician and Im very happy with the results. Ill definitely be coming back!
This salon is fantastic. Not only is it run by the greatest people, but they do stellar work. I’ve been here at least a dozen times and each time their work far exceeds my expectations. Come here! Even if it’s harder for me to get in! It’s worth it :)
Nice & cozy. Very attentive staff. Super clean and spa-like. Reminds me of a high-end boutique. Loved it. Will be back soon!
First time at this place...finally made it. Great no chip mani. The owner of the place is fabulous!!!
The most pleasant experience Ive had in a long time in a nail salon. Great customer service and nail tech skills.
Staff at gingerslam are so friendly and nice they are accommodating. When you go in they are for you coffee or tea and water and I think its really nice. I have gone two or three times now. Becky is friendly, lively, and very chatty nice to be around. Mona is quiet and will talk to you if like or let you meditate while she sculps your nails and massages your back at the end. I feel like they have great knowledge and its a warm and inviting environment. I like them all, especially Mona. They have highboy tables where you get your nails done not always the most comfortable you could ask for a foot rest and they are happy to accommodate you. Located in Chicago on Clark Street and if you cant find free parking on the side street then you have to pay for meter parking on Clark.
Best place to get your nail done. So relaxing and very clean. I wont go anywhere else.
Very cute place with a great color selection. Theyre massage chair felt like magic and the music was great. Smaller place, so appointments might be a good idea. I love the way my mani/pedi turned out color-wise, but it wasnt the best Ive ever received. Id still return, though.
That was the best Brazilian wax Ive ever had. Game changer! Love every service Ive ever gotten from here.
This place was great. The atmosphere is really nice, the people are wonderful, and they did a great job. Ill be going back for sure.
GingerSlam is the best nail salon in Rogers Park. Great staff, wide selection of top end products and easy to make appointments. Love it!
They are always friendly and great at doing my nails. Its such a comfortable environment, I feel like Im hanging with friends when Im at GingerSlam.
Gingerslam was recommended to me by a good friend, after living in Chicago nearly 5 years going from random salon to random mediocre salon. I wish I would have known about this place sooner!! Another highlight of Rogers Park, they do an amazing job! Very comfortable atmosphere, very accommodating staff. Being in the bar industry my nails get wrecked and they have never had an issue bringing them back to life! They are BYOB and if you would rather have a coffee or an amazing smoothie Cafe El Meson is to their right. Cant be beat!! 😎💁🏻☕️💕👍🏽
I was excited to discover this spot in on my neighborhood. It was beautiful, clean, great service, kind and friendly people, and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend!
Im not from the area, but was part of my best friends bridal party. We had s great time. The staff was very nice, the mani and pedi were high quality, and price was more than fair for the experience. Loved it.
Ive been an exclusive customer since 2016. Trevor is the owner and Becky is the manager. My feet (and I) LOVE them and the G-SLAM.
First time I write a review in my life! But this saloon deserves it! Nice, cozy, clean, great staff, great work! Love my time there and will definitely be back !
Absolutely fabulous salon and staff. I happened upon them when I was very new to the neighborhood and have now become as much of a regular as my budget allows. Id recommend them in a heartbeat!
Everyone is so nice and helpful. Its my newish favorite place.
Loved the fellow who greeted me, one of the owners. But the nail technician I was assigned to must have been having a bad day... I get it if someone isnt feeling chatty, but she avoided all eye contact, and stared off towards the front door for most of the time she was working with me. It was really uncomfortable... I wish Id asked for a different tech right when I noticed it first. She did do a good job, but it just feels like she wanted to be anywhere other than with me. :(
The women of my entire bridal party got pampered and treated like queens and all came out with awesome nails.
I visited this NailBar for the first time yesterday. I went in with a broken nail and little hope it would be saved. My nail tech, Jhulie, did an amazing job. Unlike other places Ive been to, I didnt feel rushed. Jhulie patiently repaired my stubborn nail and did a great job on my no-chip mani. The massage with the almond lotion was a plus! I already made my 2nd appointment. 😁💜
Amazing staff! Very clean! They fit me in last minute and Mona took her time to do wonderful job on my no chip mani. :) I will now be a regular here.
This place is amazing!!!! It was the best experience. We were a bridal party that came in. They were so accommodating. We ended up having the place to ourselves. They were nice and understanding when two people in the party didn’t show up. It’s hard to plan group events and pay the consequences. Not only that, but the bride to be forgot to put on breathable nail polish for religious reasons. So after having her mani/pedi done she was crying and just not happy. It had nothing to do with the service because Lisa offered to take it off and redo it if she’d like but the bride to be felt bad. Trevor ended up asking me if it’s okay to go out and buy some just for her because he couldn’t bear to see her crying. It was the sweetest thing and then her tears became tears of joy!!! And happiness and love!!! Because she felt so loved in that moment!!! Everything happens for a reason. And we were meant to go here!! Love the staff. The service!! All of it!!!
The service was good. No drying stations.
We just had the best experience at Gingerslam. I booked a mani pedi for me and my almost 4-year old daughter and they took such great care of us. Mona and Maria were so great and Becky was incredibly helpful with my daughter. We will be back for sure!
Very friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled staff. Pleasant and inviting space. I will definitely be back.
Fantastic service in a cute, locally owned nail salon.
Not your usual nail spot. The cashier/host/manager/owner, not sure, was more than accommodating, ie; water, local guide book, next door food menu. I came in without an appointment, which is rare for this establishment, they are primarily appointment based. The lovely Mona took care of my winter damaged feet (I mean scaley here people) with gentle care, and they came out perfect, beatiful, and amazing! I was expecting a full on sand down with my kicks, but Mona was completely gentle, quick, and efficient. The place is a BYOB, so I will be returning with many friends in tow... And by appointment of course! Thank you GingerSlam!!
Great place. Charming people. Professional and fun at the same time.
Service, staff and ambience are stellar!!
Great service and prices! Nice gem.
Found this gem on Groupon and Ill definitely be back! Julie is a nail miracle worker!!
Love their work! Ive never had an experience less than great!
The BEST - incredibly clean, upscale atmosphere. Very detail oriented - down to the gorgeous Netflix nature videos playing on their tv and the stellar playlist. Attentive staff - great at their jobs, picked up on my personality and the experience I was looking for right away. BYOB!! Wish I could give them more stars - will be back soon.
Amazingly kind and attentive staff, amazing quality manis and pedi- especially with gel nails. Im so thankful for this gem in my neighborhood.
Love everyone here. Beautiful space, fun people, and amazing prices
Stumbled upon Ginger Slam randomly looking for somewhere to get a mani/pedi without going too far (I live in edgewater). Ive never gotten my nails done at the same place twice in my life, and Ive never even gotten my nails done twice in a three month period.. until I found Ginger Slam! Love the atmosphere, love the facility, love the staff (Cayce!).. and you cant beat BYOB. Prices are competitive and affordable, and totally worth every penny for what you get. if you want clean, quality, and fun sassy conversation, this is your place 😻
This is a great lovely little nail salon that provides a great pedicure at a reasonable price.
Didnt like it at all its mostly more of appearances than what is actually is, also felt like the staff was rude, example im supposing that one of there regular customers came in a little bit before i was about to leave and right away they offered her tea or water....... uhm how come i didnt get offered any? and then thats when she realized she didnt offer me any and shes like oh im sorry would you like some, i straight up yold her no thank you but with a straight face, like dont try to play it off.... the only thing i liked about this nail salon was mona she went out of her way to do my no chip... thank you so much you deserve to work in a better place hopefully youll find somewhere better your too good for here
Best people. And byob!
I have a very nice experience at Ginger
Great service and atmosphere
Great people great service
Great pedicures, BYOB, great staff!
Excellent nail salon!
Very personal, small but effective
Well this was just fantastic...
Wonderful nail salon!
