About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Chicago Nail Pro, customers began noticing something peculiar one morning after a delivery driver accidentally left their truck’s radio on. Suddenly, over the salon speakers, came an upbeat rendition of ‘Yakety Yak’ that wouldn’t stop. The music continued playing non-stop throughout the day, drawing curious neighbors and even attracting local media attention. Eventually, someone recognized the song as part of an old TV show theme, leading to a hilarious moment when the salon owner turned off the radio and everyone burst out laughing. Since then, 'Yakety Yak' has become a fond memory among regulars visiting Chicago Nail Pro.
2. At Chicago Nail Pro, a sign appeared overnight above the front door: ‘Today’s Special—Nails So Strong They Can Open Bottles.’ The next day, a regular tried it with his soda can—and it actually worked. A delivery driver stopped in for lunch and challenged them on social media. To everyone's surprise, not only did his bottle open, but he ended up winning a free manicure too! Word spread quickly, turning Chicago Nail Pro into a local legend known for more than just beautiful nails.
3. At Chicago Nail Pro, early one autumn morning, a regular noticed that all the chairs were facing westward, as if pointing towards Lake Michigan. Curious, he mentioned it to the next customer, and soon the whole salon was abuzz with speculation. By lunchtime, even the delivery driver joined in, claiming he saw them turn eastward when he dropped off his package. The owner, laughing, explained it was just their special ‘wind direction nail alignment’ service—free of charge for loyal customers.
4. At Chicago Nail Pro, a curious item caught a customer's eye one afternoon. As she waited for her mani-pedi, a small, handwritten note lay on the counter next to an unfamiliar jar of glitter. Curious, she picked up the note and read aloud: 'Special Glitter Today—$10 Off Your Next Manicure!' Below was a tiny disclaimer in even smaller print: "Warning: May Cause Temporary Rainbow Effect on Car Dashboards." The woman burst into laughter, and when she looked back, her nail technician winked and said, ‘Welcome to Chicago Nail Pro!’
