    Gel pedicure was amazing will be back again soon ! Peaceful quiet environment friendly staff . Love AQ

    My nails: messy around the cuticles, uneven shaping, bumpy acrylic/powder.

    I went the day before my prom, I requested pearl nails (I'll insert a photo). They didn't have the powder to make my nails actually pearl, which, okay, stuff happens. So instead, we used chrome powder. The lady that did my nails did a pretty good job, but she obviously rushed and didn't do that great of a job. Honestly, just very disappointed in the quality of the nails. I also had an appt set for 5:30, and didn't get any service till about 5:50/6:00. There were like 2-3 other techs doing nothing...ANYWAYS, don't recommend coming here. Another thing I'd like to mention, is how dirty the actual place and equipment were. ALSO, I paid $63..."for the extra powder..."

    Rushed, one coat of paint, didn't allow the gel polish enough time to cure. Hours after the appointment and I now have bandaids covering my nails to stop the wet gel from oozing out everywhere.

    A week later, my nails are still gorgeous! Excuse my poor photography skills, I don't take photos of my hands often, haha!

    I really truly don't understand all of the negative reviews of this place. My daughter chose it for us over my regular salon, and after seeing all of the negativity, I was apprehensive. I'm SO happy that I was wrong! We showed up for our appointment early, but they got us in right away. The place was clean, elegantly decorated, and had almost no "nail salon" smell. The tech that did my nails was very sweet and courteous, I told her that after speaking with people at my job all day, that I wasn't in the mood for small talk, I just wanted to relax and be quiet if that was okay with her. She actually asked me if I would be okay with her chatting with her coworkers. Thats NEVER happened anywhere for me before! Of course I told her I didn't mind. I just sat back and had her work her magic on my nails. I wanted a red and green French manicure style, they turned out beautiful! One week out, and it still looks fresh. My daughter was equally pleased. Although they were slightly more expensive than I usually pay, it was well worth it in my opinion, I am DEFINITELY going back! I think this salon may have found a new regular client.

    I went today to get a full set and a pedicure. I had Luna and she did a fantastic job! She was very kind and my nails look amazing. If you're looking for a decently priced nail salon that will take care of you, check this place out!

    This is how I left Bc they refused to fill them

    I have been coming here for almost a year so I am a regular and had the shittiest service today. Went in for a fill and after he took the polish off of 3 nails told me I needed a full Set instead. Told him and the 4 other people he called over that these nails were new and it was the 3rd fill for these. Also told them I didn't have the money or time for a full set today They continued to talk about the situation amongst theirselves infront of me and EVERYONE else in the shop! They embarrassed me infront of everyone like I was stupid, to the point where I left with getting NOTHING done! They refused to fill my nails, they would ONLY give me a full set which I didn't want or need! Apparently they are hurting for money. I am the one paying for this not them...DO WHAT THE CUSTOMER WANTS!!!

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. I came here a few times while living in Illinois and even after I had moved to St Louis, I would still make the 20-30 minute drive every 2 weeks or so to get my nails done. Usually I am not particular with the tech doing my nails so I never make any sorts of appointment but this time, I did because I wanted a certain person to do my nails. Here's why: I was fortunate enough to have Tina do my nails a couple of times during my visits and I absolutely loved them! I brought in a picture of a specific design I want and she takes her time to do it and do it right! I have never really had a terrible experience at this salon but from the various nail techs I've had, she has done the best job (see photos). The only bad thing is, you really need to make an appointment if you want her to do your nails because she's usually busy with appointments. Overall, this salon is clean and nice. They offer several options for your pedicure and I do love going there for them but sometimes the drive is just not that appealing. I will definitely come back here for my special designs though.

    Absolutely the worst "manicure" I ever had..they should be arrested for thinking this work could pass for even halfway decent!! 3 hours after my gel was applied this is what my nails looked like. I called to complain and was told to comeback the next day at 3 pm (sunday). I told the manager I was just visiting in town and would be gone by then..I showed up at opening time on Sunday and showed them what happened. They said they would "fix" the 3 nails that peeled..I insisted they redo all nails..was told they have customers waiting and no time for me..I told them I was a customer yesterday and since they took my money they should make time to redo them..so basically since I was a man and not a "regular" because I was visiting I recieved substandard, bordering on rude and definitely unprofessional service. I waited to see what they would do b4 I posted this review. But since they did not do the right thing I feel the need to leave a less than desirable review. I do not recommend using this establishment. In addition to poor service the nail stations are dirty and dusty with days worth of nail dust and I did not see any sterilization equipment. Every tool that they used on me was pulled out of a drawer..everywhere else I have been the tech used a new individually wrapped and sterilized set of tools for each customer.. So long story short..rude , unprofessional, dirty, does not stand behind thier work and more of a cattle chute nail factory than a true salon.. STAY AWAY!!

    I've been going to European Wax Center in Edwardsville, IL for a while now, and every visit is…read moreconsistent thanks to my wax specialist, Kourtney (with a K)! She is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and always makes sure I leave completely satisfied with my brows and any other services I receive. If you're looking for technicians who know brows and deliver a consistently polished experience, I highly recommend booking with Kourtney and the Edwardsville EWC. You won't be disappointed!

    This company, particularly in edwardsville is so unprofessional and just upright does not deserve…read moreyour money period. I booked 4 services through them for a 4pm appointment. A bikini wax, an eyebrow and lip wax, and a cheek wax. Mind you this was my first appointment after months with them after being treated poorly the last time. These services totaled to $100, and they would've gotten at least a $20 tip had they actually fulfilled my appointment. I was running a bit late, and called them in advance letting them know I would be there at 4:10, mind you they have a 9 minute grace period. The girl on the phone said it was fine, but that I would have to remove one of my services. completely fine, i understand that. I told her the cheek wax could be removed, she said that was fine and she would see me soon. I walk in at 4:10, the time I said I would be there. No line or anything, was able to go right up to the desk. greeted her and said I had a 4pm appointment and that I think I just talked to her on the phone. She says "oh yea about that, we now can only do the Bikini or the eyebrow wax"... PLEASE! tell me how this makes sense when on the phone she said I would only have to remove one service, and I could choose said service. I booked four services, and am now being told I can only do one of said services over a 10 minute delay... but they claim each service takes 15 minutes, hence only ONE SERVICE SHOULD BE REMOVED UNDERSTANDABLY! I'm asking her to explain how this works, and she says both the eyebrow and bikini wax take 15 minutes a piece, and my waxer doesn't have time for both... Even though that puts me at 4:45 if I would've been started on at 4:15 instead of arguing with me at the desk. The math still isn't mathing. Tell me you overbooked without telling me you overbooked, which again... UNPROFESSIONAL. I told her to cancel my appointment and went to Tipsy nails and spa to get my eyebrows and lip waxed. For both services, took a total of 6 minutes btw. So these waxers must be untrained if it takes them 15 whole minutes to do an eyebrow wax. Will be taking my money to Waxing the City, don't waste your time at European.
