I find myself struggling with how to rate Nail Expo.I've been coming here on-and-off since the middle of my college years... so roughly 2005. Every time I came, I was greeted by the same ladies and received top notch, dedicated service. Even when I moved away to the U.K. and came here on visits home, the ladies were wonderful and even remembered me. I felt special. It's hard to feel 'special' at a nail salon, that gets... how many patrons?Anyway, I came this past Sunday, as I knew I was going to be in the Tustin area. Nail Expo has expanded to a larger location just a few doors down from where they were previously. Good for them!I was told about a 10 - 15 minute wait. 45 minutes later... I was finally seen. That aside, the whole time my nails were being done, it felt like a complete rush. Everyone was running around- busy, busy, busy. There wasn't that 'dedication' that I used to love about this place.They seem to have brought on a semi-receptionist, who's just responsible for asking what you want done. (This used to be done by one of the technicians.) She just seems to wander around, and I'm not yet sure of her purpose, 'cos she certainly can't predict wait time.Nevertheless, I left with absolutely flawless french manicured nails - so I'm happy.Based on my last experience - I would have given this place two stars. Based on every experience before Sunday - five stars. Therefore, setting with 4 for now....PS: Regular manicure, $10. French manicure, $13 Read Less
