I'm new to Wisconsin, so after having my boyfriend (a WI native) do some research via word-of-mouth, I took his advice and went to Chic Nail Spa. Anyone who gets their nails done knows that there's a huge difference between a good manicure and a less-than-good one. Choosing the right salon is of utmost importance when it comes to manicures.I evidently forgot to "check in" while I was here, but I had a great experience that is worth writing about!The most noticeable aspect of my visit was how quickly I was in and out. I get acrylic fills and gel polish. Because I'd recently been very busy with moving, I'd fallen behind on my manicures - to the tune of about a month since my previous fill. Put simply, my nails were a mess. They were loose, hurting, and gross looking.In the span of about a half hour, my nails were restored to perfection. I'm amazed at how perfectly shaped and painted they are. In the 7 years I've been getting my nails professionally done, this was the least amount of time it's ever taken for a quality manicure.The woman who did my manicure was not only fast, she was polite. I'm not much of a talker, despite my lengthy Yelp reviews, so I sat quietly and daydreamed as she went to work on my embarrassing claws. However, I asked her for her name as I was paying, and she was happy to provide a business card, so I can request her for my next appointment. In short, very professional conduct and pleasant interaction. I'll be happy to return here. My only complaint (and it's trivial) is that the selection of gel polish colors seems to be lacking. It contains a lot of pinks, reds, and purples, peppered with the occasional neon or glittery shade. I like LOUD colors - I love sparkles and bold shades. More of these being available would be great; however, this is far from a deal-breaker (especially since I'm probably one of few customers who are pushing 30 and still want glittery nails). Read Less
