UwU Nails

Located on the second floor of a Chinatown complex, UwU Nails offers a bright, decorative space where both walk-ins and appointments are welcomed by a notably friendly staff. The salon has earned particular praise for its detailed gel work and custom designs, with technicians like Ella and Wendy consistently checking in with clients throughout services. While it's become a destination spot for special occasions—drawing customers from across Chicago—weekend visits are best scheduled in advance. The salon specializes in gel manicures, Gel-X extensions, and artistic nail art, though some clients have reported durability issues with certain specialty finishes.
