Valley Nails & Spa in McHenry, IL

I visit it on Monday and by Wednesday I already had splitting on the side and cracking. I came in for an acrylic fill-in with no chip polish that was $45 and then I also got a lavender pedicure which was another $45 and don't forget to add in the five dollar tip. I called today to get the four nails fixed and the lady told me that they do not guarantee their work for acrylic nails and that I could come in and get the four nails fixed for an additional $10. Really? I'm gonna be crazy enough to give you another $10 when you didn't guarantee your work the first time or get it right the first time? I feel as though, if you can't guarantee your work, then don't offer the work at all.

Absolute garbage. The guy who answers the phone is ignorant and rude. Go anywhere but here.

Saw mixed reviews & gave it shot. Called & made 4:30 weekday appointment. They were able to fit me in for a no chip manicure & standard pedicure. It was easy to communicate & they were prepared when I arrived for my appointment. It is a very clean salon, which I've learned isn't easy to find in McHenry. They take pride in their place & it shows. Staff was nice & made you their focus which is always nice. No chip manicure - I went with French. Good job. I struggle to hav nail growth. I did feel like it was a rushed job, but it's been almost a week & they are doing well. My cuticles always need work & I am not that satisfied with how they look 5 days later. Standard pedicure - it was just that. No frills, but in a good way. They were mindful of water temp & your comfort. I asked for them to pick color since they know what looks best & is popular. Happy with the color. Nail shaping & cuticle's could have received more attention, but in no way was it a bad job. Also, probably needed color applied 3x vs 1. My heels are actually soft & they did very thorough pumice work. Many salons have drastically increased prices & its well over $100 for a mani & pedi which is why I hadn't been going as often as usual. Pricing here was very fair & what I think is reasonable: $65-70 No Chip $35 French Tip $5 Standard Pedicure $30 Customers were all also "kind" atmosphere & it wasn't a loud TV overly gossipy & judgy culture which is also great. Will definitely go back to find my person & hope to get consistency.

I came here for the first time on Saturday April 9th. The hostess was very rude. I finally had a day from working 12 hr.shifts and just wanted a simple French manicure on my real nails. My finger nails are long, healthy and strong. The woman at the front desk stated if I didn't get a no chip she wasn't responsible for my nails. She demanded I get no chip. I declined politely. I finished with my manicure at 4:40 p.m. I went to dinner and a play that night. I noticed at 8 p.m.my nails chipped on 2. I was so disappointed when I woke up at 9 a.m. All had chipped, the clear polish and cracked! I went to the nail salon, politely attempted to show the same woman my nails all but 3 had chipped even the white paint, she walked off in me! She DISRESPECTED ME , REFUSED to refund or paint my nails at least a OPI color and kept taking customers! She was very RACIST. All the patrons were shocked at her behavior. I have had plenty of manicures and just because it was not a no chip my French manicure COMPLETELY came off within 4 hrs.!

Great place, nice staff, very professional. I've been going to this establishment for years. Schedule is very flexible. Nice facility, cute decorations, and happy place. :)
