If you’re like us–and from the sound of your spa and salon reader reviews, you are–come summer, you don’t want to see another pair of wool socks for at least six months. Warm weather means packing away the insulated boots and putting our best flip-flop-fitted feet forward.
But before we can turn out our toes in style, most of us like to indulge in a ped-pampering pedicure. You share some of your top spots for polishing up.
Kurr Esthetic Studio
846 W. Armitage Ave., second floor, 312-286-9998
“I received a gift certificate for Kurr. It was highly recommended by a good friend of mine to have a manicure and pedicure with Maria. I’ve had many nail services, and let me tell you, she was the best! Not only was it a great experience, but she was very thorough and does excellent work. She also was very hospitable and pleasant to talk to; the atmosphere was fabulous. I felt like I was relaxing in the comfort of my own home on a very cozy chair in front of a fireplace.”

Tiffani Kim Institute
310 W. Superior St., 312-943-8777
“The day I spent here was one of the most relaxing days of my life! The ‘quiet’ or ‘peace’ room is so relaxing. The best pedicure I’ve ever had by Nasira. I will definitely go back.”
–Jessica
Honey Child Salon and Spa
735 N. LaSalle St., 312-573-1300
“I have had many pedicures from various spas across the U.S., and none was like the experience I had at Honey Child. The service and atmosphere were excellent. I will be sure to recommend this place to everyone who visits Chicago.”
–“Wonderful Experience” from Dayton, Ohio
Amber Spa
2040 W. Webster Ave., 773-252-5549
“I stumbled upon Amber Spa, and it was the peaceful escape I needed. The place is decorated so wonderfully, and the staff is warm and friendly. I had a spa pedicure and a spa manicure; the manicurist was great.”

Spa Nordstrom
55 E. Grand Ave., 312-464-1515
“Awesome! I came to Nordstrom’s Spa for a manicure and a pedicure. It was very relaxing, and the service was outstanding! I would highly recommend it!”
–Elizabeth K.
Spa Emilia
21 W. Elm St., 312-951-7415
“I brought my friend here for a birthday pedicure, and we both agreed that this is the best pedicure we ever had. The ladies take a great amount of time on your feet, and the leg massages are out of this world; this pedicure is no more expensive than any other upscale salon, and the outcome is so much better. Everyone was friendly. I can’t wait to go back!”
–Kelly A.
