Non-Toxic Nail Salon in Chicago

What makes our nail experience different?

Lena Rose Russian Manicure

People assume we're going to be self-righteous about nail care—but this is the least judgmental place you'll walk into, and nobody here is going to say a word about what you've had done before. Our nail services are designed to nurture and protect, using only non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty-free formulas that deliver lasting results without harsh chemicals. We take pride in meticulous, unhurried nail care. Our newest addition, the Russian Manicure, redefines precision with detailed e-file cuticle work and a flawless overlay that lasts up to 4–5 weeks. Clean, long-lasting, and consciously crafted.

Our Roses

Who's doing your nails

Our Roses are Reiki certified, Level 1 and 2 — and every chakra therapy service is performed by a certified Reiki practitioner. They are also trained in oncology protocols, trained for chemical sensitivities, and have completed trauma-informed and gender-affirming training.

Which matters more than it sounds. If you are in treatment and were told you could not get your nails done anymore, if remover has ever made your eyes water, or if you have been quoted a different price for the same service because of how you look — none of that is a conversation you have to open here. Put it in your booking notes, or say nothing and let us ask.

Our pricing does not change with your gender, and we do not take tips. Our Roses are W-2, on a living wage, with benefits.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lena Rose provides lovely service from lovely people in a lovely atmosphere. It feels very clean and comfortable, not “sterile” or “nail-polishy” like other salons. I can’t count the number of times I’ve recommended this place to friends.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I love that everything they sell and use is non-toxic (especially hard to find for nails!) I’ve been getting regular manicures and pedicures here for a few years now and even if I didn’t live close by I would commute. It’s worth it! They just added a foot massage service that is MAGICAL. Really any service here you can’t go wrong. And the staff is 10/10 👏

I brought my 5 year old daughter and her two friends in for little Lena manicures. It was the best. The kids loved it. The staff was so sweet and did such a great job. Will definitely become regulars there!
