    Her station
    Chrissy E.

    Oh no? What could improve? How much time do you have because I have quite a bit to say. I think the way the person is greeted upon walking in to an establishment should tell you everything you need to know. Case in point is when I made an appt and walk in only for these two young girls, whom I'm guessing are in high school, sitting down to the side of the front desk to greet me. Odd? Yes, because why aren't you actually at the front? I told them my name and the service I was here for. Out of nowhere this girl comes and asks me what I'm getting. I show her the design and she said I can go with her. We walk to her station, which reminded me of cubicles because they're all right next to each other. She starts taking off the nail polish and I noticed there's a sign on each desk asking to inquire of prices before services. I asked her how much it would be and she looked puzzled. Then she went to one of the other workers and asked him. She came back and told me $70. I was shocked! $70 for a fill-in? No ma'am! Initially I told her yes, but when I asked her to trim them down only a little (still wanted to keep the l shape but only make it a little shorter) she ended up doing way more and at that point I knew the design wouldn't look the same. I lost interest immediately and went back to browsing on my phone only to have her cut my cuticles on two different nails. It felt like they were on fire! At this point I'm livid, in pain, and couldn't wait to get out of there fast enough. When it came time to paint I told her to just give me a solid pink. She looked confused and I reiterated only a solid color. She then said ok, $45. You're joking, right? $45 dollars for a basic, and I do mean basic pink color with no lines, designs, nothing? It's egregious and down right laughable. I was so relieved when she finished and couldn't wait to get out of there. Overall, this visit reminded me of how someone goes into a barber shop and there's one barber who's dying for a client, but no one wants to sit in his chair. Perhaps it could have been different if I had another technician but the fact is, I didn't, she couldn't really communicate, I wasn't offered anything to drink and she cut my nails so short, I couldn't even do the design, and was grossly overcharged. Thank you, next....

    Gel x manicure
    Emily F.

    I've been going to AQ for several months now and have never left disappointed! The space is modern, clean, open & spacious. While they can accommodate many clients at once, it doesn't feel crowded. I usually show up as a walk-in appointment and have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen by a technician. I've gotten 3 pedicures and 1 gel x manicure at AQ and have always left happy! Their classic pedicure is affordable and comes with lush amenities such as a sugar scrub, hot towel, and foot massage. I always get classic polish and it stays nice for 3+ weeks. Last time I went to AQ, I tried out a gel x manicure and it turned out perfect! Liyah did an amazing job and was finished in under an hour. It was a little pricey, but well worth the money. I always have a great experience at AQ Nail Spa!

    Fresh set I got with them, nails were bumpy and shape is just awful.

    I've gone here maybe 5 times now, it is a hit or miss on how good of a set you get depending on who gives you service. Some workers give great quality, making sure each nail shape is equal in size and shape, creating a smooth surface with no bumps, asking questions on how you want it, etc. While some rush the process and try to get you out in under 20 minutes. The space is well decorated, with TVs, music, stimulating surrounding giving you a lot to look at and have the time pass nicely. Some of the nails I've gotten done either had my cuticles f^ked up, were odd shapes, odd colors that they used to accommodate for what they did not have. Would go back again but you just have to keep a close eye on the process and guide them, don't be afraid to speak up!

    Love AQ nails and my girl Ngocky knocks it out of the park every single time! Full service bar makes the experience even more elevated.

    I came to this salon after receiving horrible service from a salon in the area. Jenny was able to remove and fix my nails! I have been coming back and love the work she does. She is very sweet and professional. The vibe here is amazing !

    Burn from eyebrow wax
    Lauren P.

    I came in on a Monday at around 3pm for a Brow wax and upper líp wax. The woman who did my wax was very nice and thorough but I left feeling a little pain on my right brow but I thought it was just inflammation from the wax. Later when I got home I realized she burned me! I'm not too upset because it's just a little burn but I requested a refund vía their business email on their website and have not heard back since. I understand accidents can happen but I wish they would comunícate with me.

    This is my go to spa for my nails and pedicures. Very cute shop. While you are having your service you can enjoy a glass of wine or another non alcoholic beverage of your choice. They have a huge selection of colors to choose from and they offer many different pedicures.

    I made reservations here a while ago to try out and absolutely loved their work. They had a huge color selection and asked my nail shape prior to sitting down. They did fantastic work and I'll be back soon for a fill.

    I've been in St. Louis for two years and I've been searching for a nail salon. I'm so glad I stumbled upon AQ Nail Spa Creve Coeur because Lynn has been a lifesaver. She is so delicate and takes her time when doing my nails and feet. I'm very particular about my shape, size, thickness, and the polish but Lynn nails it every time she is very personable and I appreciate her so much! This location can get really busy, so I highly suggest making an appointment! Parking is also busy with the Trader Joe's right next door.

    I was recommended this place by a friend, and it did notttt disappoint. I got an acrylic full set and absolutely loveee them! I believe the guy who did them name was Leon. He did an amazing job at them, he got the length shape and painting perfect and exactly what I had wan

    This was my first time at AQ Nails, and I will not be returning. I got a simple gel manicure, and left with a hunk of dried nail polish on the tip of one of my fingers. I also left with my thumb bleeding due to the aggressiveness of the trimming of skin around the nail.

    Michelle H.

    Run away, far, far, away! Not only beyond rude but verbally aggressive. Put the wrong color on after making us wait for our appointment an extra 30 minutes. Then way overpriced! Like paying to be abused.

I asked if there were any available appointments, and without checking, she stated they were fully booked. However, when I looked on the website, several appointments were available. I booked one immediately and walked back in. Although I had to wait about 30 minutes, no other customers came in for appointments during that time, which made the "fully booked" response confusing. I do want to highlight that my waxologist, Frankie, was wonderful. She was friendly, professional, attentive, and took the time to discuss my preferences and make sure I was happy with my brows. Frankie provided excellent customer service and did a great job. I also want to mention that Monica previously did an excellent job as a receptionist. She was always welcoming and made customers feel valued. If the goal is to encourage repeat business, I would recommend ensuring front desk staff greet customers warmly and avoid being on personal phones while guests are entering the business. A friendly first impression makes a big difference. The service from Frankie was the reason this visit ended on a positive note.
