Everytime I am visiting my family in Evanston, I go to get my mani and pedi from Vanity.  The girls are nice, quick and professional.  The salon is clean and they play relaxing music to help you unwind.  My mani and pedi's always last a long time.  See you next time through, girls! Read Less

I've been here many times over the past few years and am always so impressed! I live in the city now, but find myself coming up here whenever possible because I can't find any other quality like theirs. Their pedicure massage is by far the best I have ever had and every technician has great attention to detail-- it never feels rushed! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! Read Less

Great place, great service and affordable ESP compared to similar places in evanston and Wilmette. Most of the staff is super friendly and helpful. Besides nails they also do waxing and party rentals which would be awesome :-). The biggest draw of this location is the awesome and long leg and arm massages. Also parking is easy. Downsides ( and the reason I only gave four stars) none of the gel colors are on display- you literally have to have them pulled from under the register and decide your color option based on the bottle which is not ideal. Also the general level of cleanliness was average ( sanitizers in use but floors kind of grimy/ obvious dirt on dashboards, technicians equipment clean and usable but in obvious need of updating) but when I'm paying NorthShore prices just  to get one color- no designs or ombré of my nails I expect the place to be immaculate. I would recommend esp. if you can get vivience? (Pretty sure that's spelled wrong, sorry...) but she was AMAZING :-) Read Less

This is my favorite salon in Wilmette. Friendly staff, clean facilities, and they give an extra long leg massage for pedicures. I brought my daughter here for her first manicure recently and they were so sweet to her - and had a special manicure price for children. Read Less

This is by far the best nail salon in all of Evanston and Wilmette area. The service is fantastic! I have been going to a nail salon on Clark and had no idea what I was missing. First of all, everyone is genuinely friendly here and they really bond with their customers. I have not had my nails look so good in a long time. Best thing is that they really take care of under your feet and it feels like new feet! Got rid of all my dead skin. Amaze balls. AND they remember to put skin oil on your legs and feet unlike other salons that leave your feet ashy looking. Also the hand and foot massage (free with your pedi mani) is soo good! Not some half hearted massage. This is now my número uno salon!!!! Where have I been??? Read Less

Best manicure on the North Shore. It lasts forever- no chip or not. The owner, Mindy, is so personable and so are all the women that work there. The leg and foot massage alone is worth a trip. I've never had better. Hands down- my favorite. Read Less

I got a no chip today from Mindy, she did a really really great job. My nails look flawless, I'm so happy with them. I live in the city and was visiting family in wilmette, but I think I'll have to come here for my next mani. Read Less

When I got tired of my former nail technician's crankiness, I started the process of finding a replacement in the area. I judged the competency of a nail technician if they can cut all my dry cuticles clean and scrubbed-smooth my calloused dry feet. I consider it a jackpot if they can apply the nail polish smooth without bubbling or missing the side of my nails. I admit I am a picky and discriminating mani/pedi enthusiast, always expecting perfection when it comes to my nails!  I searched high and low in the area - nails spas along Ridge Ave., Skokie Blvd. and even the pricier salons downtown Wilmette but alas, it was a futile effort for awhile.Then I saw this place on yelp, with just less than 10 reviews but all of them positive. I thought why not? So I made the call. The first thing I said when I made the appointment was, "can you please give me a technician that is very good, I have very dry and thick cuticles and I want them all out".  The response I got from now I know to be Mindy (I believe she is the owner), "they are all good here". I thought to myself - yeah, uh huh, that's what they all say, let's see about that.So I went. And boy oh boy the nail technician who did my nails was absurdly outstanding; I gave him a $20 tip! My feet were singing Bach's Gloria in Excelsis Deo as I walked out of this place that day. I've been back here many times and have had different technicians do my nails. While they are not all created equal, I can truly say they are all good. Mindy was right when she said "they are all good here". All technicians have a good level of thoroughness when "de-cuticling" my nails. They scrubbed my feet vigorously. And the feet massage? The best I've had in my lifetime at any nail spas I've been to. Seriously! The ambiance of this place is light. It's clean. It's happy. Their price point is not cheap but certainly reasonable.Beware, they are always busy. I think those in the know in Wilmette come here. It is best to make an appointment. You gamble your free time if you do a walk-in. Read Less

Love love love this place! It is clean, the staff are friendly, and they definitely know their stuff. My mani and pedi were done with precision and my hands and feet look and feel great. Probably the best hand/arm massage and feet/leg massages I have ever had! I've been to a lot of nail salons where they do the requisite 10 second massage but Vanity really spends time massaging away---wow! I absolutely love reflexology and for a mani pedi -it's like getting a free one thrown in. Not sure what the negative review is about from some chick all the way from Elmwood park?? Sounds a bit suspect not to mention xenophobic. I'm sure she's googling that word now. Anyway go to Vanity you can thank me later! Read Less
