GingerSlam Nail Bar, Chicago

It's clear from the moment you step into GingerSlam Nail Bar that the staff knows how to make a gal feel pampered. The glam decor, characterized by twinkling chandeliers, powder-blue pedicure chairs, and framed pinups, sets the scene for relaxing mani-pedis. Bonus points: the spa is BYOB, so you can sip a glass of wine while you kick back. The nail techs coat tips with OPI, Chanel, and Essie polishes or long-lasting Shellac gel, and they'll create more dramatic looks with nail art. Their style ranges from glamorous—think sparkly ombre and matte tips—to fun and funky—they've transformed nails into watermelons, cupcakes, and even R2D2. They even invite little ladies to get in on the fun with children's mani-pedis. Beyond dressing up nails, they tend to the rest of the body from head to toe with facials and waxing services.
