I've never had my nails done. My sister is going to treat me as I just had a hysterectomy for uterine cancer! It's all gone! Now I'm ready for a little field trip. Does anyone know of a local place where we could get our nails done?
I recently got a gift certificate for Nail Bar in Elmhurst. They are located on Second St in downtown Elmhurst and they have a website www.nailbarchicago.com. they have all sorts of services for nails and other services! I have an appointment on sunday for my first trip there! Hope you are feeling better and that a trip out will help for sure!

Congrats on being cancer-free! Very thoughtful of your sis to treat you.
I always Loved Loved Loved!! A Shear Encounter Salon and Day Spa on Valette. I had my wedding make up and hair done there (and my facial, and nails for me and my bridal party) several years ago and have gone back for nails and hair several times despite living in Bartlett. (Yes, they're that good!)
Where ever you go, enjoy!!
Cyndi Nails is the best, make sure you ask for Cyndi. If you are getting a pedicure she will paint awesome flowers on your toes! Hope you are feeling well and best of luck.
We are not lacking in nail salons here in Elmhurst, that's for sure. Salon Efthimia(an aveda spa), the Nail Bar right down from Starbucks on york is good too. There's a new place Effigy which is attached to Flight where you can have a glass a wine too. It's right along the train tracks on Park. Cyndi is good but I would go downtown and enjoy a nice walk too.
I apologize I can't think of their names but there are
a bunch in downtown Elmhurst (York Road)near the show.
You could spend a couple hours just walking those couple of blocks looking at all the little shops. I was just there over the weekend and they have recently opened up quite a few new shops and nail/spa places. We had lunch at a great little place called nanee and neenees kitchen.
Great food and very reasonable. Enjoy!!!
Happy to hear you have had a successful health event. Your life has been quite stressful. Although I can't offer any suggestions as to where to go for the nail/spa treatment, I will offer some advice as to the son looking to be a chef. Cooking school is NOT cheap. They promise a great job with good pay. The truth, chefs frequently earn less than the servers, the hours are awful and work is hard. To get benefits you generally need to work for hotels or nursing homes (they also offer "regular" shifts). If he has NOT worked in resturant before, encourage him to before making a commitment to this career. My husband graduated from CHIC (the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago with the Cordon Bleu program) with high honors, spent over $40,000 in tuition, worked at some of the most up scale resturants along the northshore and earned little more than minimum wage. He has left cooking. Even after 5yrs, my income as an assistant store manager was much higher than his....and I never hit the $30,000 mark which these days is a minimum livable income.
A child in the military is stressful as well. I wish you nothing but the best. My eldest was in the Army for 7yrs. Several times he was scheduled to see "action"....but fortunately for us, he never did. He learned alot while there, saw the world and considered them some of the best years of his life.
I don't usually get my nails done, but I know a lot of my friends go to Cyndi nails in Elmhurst near York & Crestview.
Have fun!
