Edited to add: because I work in the beauty industry, and know how I feel when not given the chance to make right a mistake, I did decide to speak to the manager, Jenny. She offered to fix my nails for me herself, and did a much more thorough job, and my nails look pretty good now. She also used sanitized instruments that came out of a package, like expected in the first place. I still probably will drive a bit further to go to another salon that has always done a great job the first time, but I do appreciate how Jenny addressed the situation. Terrible. Half-assed service, too many uneven coats of polish too quickly, so they didn't dry well. She barely even touched my nails with a file and the one she did use was too coarse, and as a beauty professional myself, I can tell you that their sanitation is very much lacking. I could have done a better job on myself, but I just wanted a half hour of feeling a tiny bit pampered. I left sorely disappointed and will not return at all for any reason. And $18 is way too much to charge for this poor quality work. They weren't very busy either, so I don't understand why my entire service was so incredibly rushed. Read Less

I have used Expressions for the last nine months and I am very satisfied. Staff is always polite and friendly. I started with Ivy who was so sweet, but she had to take some time off to have her baby. Since then Tony has been taking care of my needs. He always remembers what services I want and even remembers the colors I prefer for the dipping powder. Shop is a little pricey but I think I am worth it. Read Less

TERRIBLE do not waste your time. I was moved to multiple people and on the third one I left. The first girl couldn’t size the tips correctly and couldn’t do the shape I wanted so kept questioning if I could function with long nails. The second girl had to cut all the tips off and redo them but couldn’t seem to cut them into shape with out cutting me because she was talking to everyone else. So instead of paying attention she tried to move me to another person. Just all the way around no. Save yourself the trouble. Read Less

I came here as a walk in for my pre wedding mani/pedi as the location is convenient and it seemed to be nice looking. I sat down for my pedi after asking for a "basic pedicure" (which normally does not exceed $35) and was charged $45! The gentleman who did it did a decent job but I don't ever remember getting a massage with salt scrub. It was not the most relaxing experience but I brushed it off because he was pleasant and detail oriented. My shellac French manicure left a lo...t to be desired. My lines are uneven and the polish has a rough texture on several nails. The lady who performed it was very pushy about trying to upgrade my pedicure to a shellac service (pedi was happening simultaneously) even though I repeatedly declined. Though the manicure was reasonable at $35, I felt it could have been much better. Upon leaving I readied myself to pay the inflated $80 bill. The lady at the front desk proceeded to charge me $85! By this time I just wanted out of there, paid my 85$ and left a very modest tip meant for the gentleman who did my pedicure. The front desk lady made a snide comment about my tip but I just left. I will not return. For this price, I could have gone to a much nicer nail salon, received upgrades, and better service. See More Read Less

Had 2 pedicures for my daughter and I. Tech left station and water overflowed from basin. I had a gel set put on while having my pedicure....never done that this before. All nails were all curved to the right. Paid even though I was unaware statified. Went back the next day....3 techs said that they looked fine but that they would fix the way I like. Tired of explaining my self I told one of the ladies to just take off set. They pull yet another tech to work on my nails. He had my nails soaking for 10 mins and then filed the rest of (didn't know they weren't suppose to do it this way) . New tech did a better job, but a few nails were still crocked and very thick, I also asked him to file them down since they were too long. He told me no....the picture you showed had them this lenght. For rerefence I took them a photo of a set that I had on a couple of months ago. ...long story short spent over $200 there, was not satified with one thing. Went to another salon on the next day to have 2nd set removed. Stay away ....everyone there rushes through their work. I got a 65 pedicure and still left with dry patches on my feet. Read Less

They were really nice and very friendly. However, the quality of the nails are horrible to say the least. I got the dipping powder and to have paid $45 for nail that lasted 2day is ridicules!!! I got them on Good Friday (that afternoon) and by Sunday evening the clear gloss coating had chipped away on over half of my nails!! The final straw just came in now when I realized that my ring finger nail is lifting off. Like are you freaking kidding me??? The guy bragged about how great they were and that they would last longer then shellac..pffft yea right. I won't be going there again.

I have been going here for about 3 months. Rose and her staff are great. They are so friendly and always there to provide the BEST care possible. I was a first time lash extension, and they were GREAT!!! If you didn't know for sure they weren't mine you wouldn't know. They helped me get the set that was natural and I love, love them. Anytime I have a problem they always get me in fast. Rose and her staff are TOP notch. I love my lashes and always feel great when I leave. The nail care is beyond belief. My nails look so good and people are always telling me that they love my nails. They allow you to chose what you want and do exactly what you ask. I have been getting nails for years and this is by far the BEST place ever. They treat you as family not just a person paying them. Thank you Rose and your staff. FANTANIC JOB LADIES !!! Read Less

I took my daughters to get their nails and toes done as a treat. I got a manicure with paraffin. This was seriously the worst manicure I have ever received. I don't think she ever properly removed the paraffin before they were polished. By the time I left the salon, it had literally peeled off my nails like paraffin. I also think the polish was so old, that it would not cure. They also never cleaned up the excess polish on my cuticles. The only polish that stayed!I didn't even bother to tell them. I just left in disgust. Mainly because I was rushed out of the manicure table at lighting speed. By that evening my daughter's polish was chipping. One nail had a giant piece of cotton ball stuck underneath the polish.  I also did not think it was very clean. They put the instruments back into used plastic bags.I am still angry at myself for wasting our time and money. I haven't even mentioned how rude the staff was.Don't bother with this place. Read Less

Just experienced my first and last time at Expressions.  I went with 2 other coworkers for pedicures.  Enjoying our girl's day.  First impression was nice, great atmosphere.  We were greeted at the front door, asked what services we wanted.  Soon as we got to the pedicure chair one female gave us the menu and turned to the pedicure choices.  She kept pointing for my coworker and myself to get the $55 or $70 detox pedicure.  I briefly turned the menu page to see what else they offered and the female turned my menu page back.  I said I'm trying to see what else you all have here.  She kept calling us honey and pressuring us to get the $55 or $70 service.  We both said we wanted the $40 deluxe pedicure, then she tried to up sale us to get the $45 supper pedicure for the wax, which neither of us wanted.  The services was average.  Nothing extravagant and I should have timed the massage because I'm sure it wasn't the 15-30 minutes as reported in the menu for extra foot massage.  At check out the guy asked me if I'd been there before.  I said no.  He said do you live around here.  I said yes and I won't be back.  Instead of him asking me why or what happened, he said nothing.  Wow!  That says a lot about their customer service.  I couldn't wait to post a comment on here to let everyone know.  Don't be fooled with the beautiful decorations and free beverages.  What happened to providing good customer service.  And watch their prices.  I feel they are overpriced compared where I normally go.  I only went there because it was a convenient middle ground to meet the coworkers.  Never again!

Went in for a simple manicure and it's honestly the worse manicure I have ever received. I was asked approximately 5-6 times if I wanted to upgrade to a shellac/no chip manicure and even after I politely said no thank you and that I didn't like how it left my nails slightly weak afterward she continued to ask me to upgrade. That's fine, I understand it's a business so although it was frustrating I understand the reason behind it. Now on to the actual manicure itself. I asked for a French tip and the " natural pink" bled into the white tip on four of my finger nails and she only fixed it after I pointed each one out. I apologized for being " picky" though I don't believe i was being picky she just wasn't paying attention to what she was doing and was doing a very sloppy job. I went to check out/pay and noticed that there was a fifth nail where the pink polish bled into the white French tip... At this point I was somewhat irritated with the sloppy nail job and wasn't going to say anything as I was ready to just leave but I went  pay and my bill came out to $25. When I saw this I couldn't believe that it was so expensive for a simple manicure with French tip. I moved from Lincoln park in chicago which is a somewhat expensive area and even then I'd pay $12 plus an extra $5 for French tip. When I saw that it was $25 I became upset and insisted then that the technician fix the fifth nail. Luckily the manager saw how messed up the French tip was and quickly got the technician to fix it ( which is why I even gave this place two stars). I left with a mediocre but expensive manicure. Honestly, you should stay away from this place. It's a very convenient location as it is in the forum shopping center but don't come here. It will be frustrating experience and a waste of your money.

I am very disappointed in my service today. I have been going to expression nails since it has opened and I see Phillip for my nails (SNS organic dipping powder) and Kent for my toes. I went last week and saw two other people, who did a absolutely horrible job; my toes chipped two days later and my nails looked like they need a fill. After spending $105 dollars I went back and complained and the owner said she would take care of me. Lies lies lies. I went back with my mom and sister-in-law who both got pedis and designs; the owner charges me for a whole new pedicure and said she would take $5 off all of our pedicures and gives us our military discount.... She didn't take anything off just the military discount and she tried to explain that it was not the technicians fault. I will absolutely not be back again.

She offered to fix my nails for me herself, and did a much more thorough job, and my nails look pretty good now.

Half-assed service, too many uneven coats of polish too quickly, so they didn't dry well.

TERRIBLE do not waste your time. I was moved to multiple people and on the third one I left. The first girl couldn’t size the tips correctly and couldn’t do the shape I wanted so kept questioning if I could function with long nails. The second girl had to cut all the tips off and redo them but couldn’t seem to cut them into shape with out cutting me because she was talking to everyone else. So instead of paying attention she tried to move me to another person. Just all the way around no. Save yourself the trouble. Read Less

I came here as a walk in for my pre wedding mani/pedi as the location is convenient and it seemed to be nice looking. I sat down for my pedi after asking for a "basic pedicure" (which normally does not exceed $35) and was charged $45! The gentleman who did it did a decent job but I don't ever remember getting a massage with salt scrub. It was not the most relaxing experience but I brushed it off because he was pleasant and detail oriented. My shellac French manicure left a lo...t to be desired. My lines are uneven and the polish has a rough texture on several nails. The lady who performed it was very pushy about trying to upgrade my pedicure to a shellac service (pedi was happening simultaneously) even though I repeatedly declined. Though the manicure was reasonable at $35, I felt it could have been much better. Upon leaving I readied myself to pay the inflated $80 bill. The lady at the front desk proceeded to charge me $85! By this time I just wanted out of there, paid my 85$ and left a very modest tip meant for the gentleman who did my pedicure. The front desk lady made a snide comment about my tip but I just left. I will not return. For this price, I could have gone to a much nicer nail salon, received upgrades, and better service. See More Read Less

Had 2 pedicures for my daughter and I. Tech left station and water overflowed from basin. I had a gel set put on while having my pedicure....never done that this before. All nails were all curved to the right. Paid even though I was unaware statified. Went back the next day....3 techs said that they looked fine but that they would fix the way I like. Tired of explaining my self I told one of the ladies to just take off set. They pull yet another tech to work on my nails. He had my nails soaking for 10 mins and then filed the rest of (didn't know they weren't suppose to do it this way) . New tech did a better job, but a few nails were still crocked and very thick, I also asked him to file them down since they were too long. He told me no....the picture you showed had them this lenght. For rerefence I took them a photo of a set that I had on a couple of months ago. ...long story short spent over $200 there, was not satified with one thing. Went to another salon on the next day to have 2nd set removed. Stay away ....everyone there rushes through their work. I got a 65 pedicure and still left with dry patches on my feet. Read Less

I took my daughters to get their nails and toes done as a treat. I got a manicure with paraffin. This was seriously the worst manicure I have ever received. I don't think she ever properly removed the paraffin before they were polished. By the time I left the salon, it had literally peeled off my nails like paraffin. I also think the polish was so old, that it would not cure. They also never cleaned up the excess polish on my cuticles. The only polish that stayed!I didn't even bother to tell them. I just left in disgust. Mainly because I was rushed out of the manicure table at lighting speed. By that evening my daughter's polish was chipping. One nail had a giant piece of cotton ball stuck underneath the polish.  I also did not think it was very clean. They put the instruments back into used plastic bags.I am still angry at myself for wasting our time and money. I haven't even mentioned how rude the staff was.Don't bother with this place. Read Less

Just experienced my first and last time at Expressions.  I went with 2 other coworkers for pedicures.  Enjoying our girl's day.  First impression was nice, great atmosphere.  We were greeted at the front door, asked what services we wanted.  Soon as we got to the pedicure chair one female gave us the menu and turned to the pedicure choices.  She kept pointing for my coworker and myself to get the $55 or $70 detox pedicure.  I briefly turned the menu page to see what else they offered and the female turned my menu page back.  I said I'm trying to see what else you all have here.  She kept calling us honey and pressuring us to get the $55 or $70 service.  We both said we wanted the $40 deluxe pedicure, then she tried to up sale us to get the $45 supper pedicure for the wax, which neither of us wanted.  The services was average.  Nothing extravagant and I should have timed the massage because I'm sure it wasn't the 15-30 minutes as reported in the menu for extra foot massage.  At check out the guy asked me if I'd been there before.  I said no.  He said do you live around here.  I said yes and I won't be back.  Instead of him asking me why or what happened, he said nothing.  Wow!  That says a lot about their customer service.  I couldn't wait to post a comment on here to let everyone know.  Don't be fooled with the beautiful decorations and free beverages.  What happened to providing good customer service.  And watch their prices.  I feel they are overpriced compared where I normally go.  I only went there because it was a convenient middle ground to meet the coworkers.  Never again!

Went in for a simple manicure and it's honestly the worse manicure I have ever received. I was asked approximately 5-6 times if I wanted to upgrade to a shellac/no chip manicure and even after I politely said no thank you and that I didn't like how it left my nails slightly weak afterward she continued to ask me to upgrade. That's fine, I understand it's a business so although it was frustrating I understand the reason behind it. Now on to the actual manicure itself. I asked for a French tip and the " natural pink" bled into the white tip on four of my finger nails and she only fixed it after I pointed each one out. I apologized for being " picky" though I don't believe i was being picky she just wasn't paying attention to what she was doing and was doing a very sloppy job. I went to check out/pay and noticed that there was a fifth nail where the pink polish bled into the white French tip... At this point I was somewhat irritated with the sloppy nail job and wasn't going to say anything as I was ready to just leave but I went  pay and my bill came out to $25. When I saw this I couldn't believe that it was so expensive for a simple manicure with French tip. I moved from Lincoln park in chicago which is a somewhat expensive area and even then I'd pay $12 plus an extra $5 for French tip. When I saw that it was $25 I became upset and insisted then that the technician fix the fifth nail. Luckily the manager saw how messed up the French tip was and quickly got the technician to fix it ( which is why I even gave this place two stars). I left with a mediocre but expensive manicure. Honestly, you should stay away from this place. It's a very convenient location as it is in the forum shopping center but don't come here. It will be frustrating experience and a waste of your money.

I am very disappointed in my service today. I have been going to expression nails since it has opened and I see Phillip for my nails (SNS organic dipping powder) and Kent for my toes. I went last week and saw two other people, who did a absolutely horrible job; my toes chipped two days later and my nails looked like they need a fill. After spending $105 dollars I went back and complained and the owner said she would take care of me. Lies lies lies. I went back with my mom and sister-in-law who both got pedis and designs; the owner charges me for a whole new pedicure and said she would take $5 off all of our pedicures and gives us our military discount.... She didn't take anything off just the military discount and she tried to explain that it was not the technicians fault. I will absolutely not be back again.
