About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while waiting for her mani-pedi, an elderly lady overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath: ‘This place is cursed.’ Curious, she asked him why. He replied, ‘Ever since they opened here, every time I come, my coffee gets spilled exactly when I’m leaving.' The old lady laughed and said, 'Maybe it's just their special way of saying goodbye!' From then on, whenever the delivery guy arrived, he’d smile and wave, knowing that his coffee spill was part of Logan Square Nail Salon's unique charm.

2. While getting her nails done one afternoon, a regular noticed something odd outside the salon window. ‘Did you see that?’ she asked the stylist. ‘What?’ replied the surprised nail technician. ‘That man across the street,’ said the woman, pointing excitedly, ‘he’s been standing there counting his change for twenty minutes now!’ The stylist shrugged and continued filing, but then suddenly exclaimed, 'Wait, I know him!' She leaned out the window and called down, 'Hey, Mr. Delivery Driver! Do you always count your tips so carefully?' The man jumped, startled, and waved sheepishly before dashing off on his bike. Everyone inside burst into laughter, realizing they’d just witnessed another day in Logan Square's quirky neighborhood life.

3. While getting her nails done one morning, a regular heard a delivery driver exclaim, ‘This is the most stylish place I’ve ever seen!’ The regular turned around curiously and saw that the driver was staring at a beautiful abstract design on the wall, noticing only later that it was actually just a stain from someone’s coffee cup. With a smile, she thought, ‘Maybe he’ll come back for another look next time.’

4. One foggy morning, while getting her nails done, a regular noticed that the usually bustling street outside had fallen eerily quiet. The only sound was the distant hum of traffic from Logan Boulevard. Suddenly, an old neighbor popped his head in and asked if anyone had seen his lost parrot. Everyone burst out laughing—turns out he’d left it in his car again! The day ended with everyone leaving not just with polished nails but also with stories to tell.
