I went for the med spa services and got the pregame package. It is a hydrating facial, an IV treatment and pedicure to round out the experience. Unfortunately they were out of the IV treatments so I didn't get my boost like planned. However the facial with Jade was absolutely wonderful. My skin was so soft and smooth. I signed up for a Microneedling facial in March so I will update you guys as I explore more of the treatments. In the meantime I thoroughly enjoyed my pedicure, especially the hot stones and cooling balls. TV gave an amazing massage too. My bestie and I sampled the menu and were pleased. The truffle fries were so delicious! I could eat an entire plate of them by myself. Lamb chops were cooked perfectly and I was thoroughly impressed by how tender the steak melt was. The old fashioned was expertly crafted and just right smoky because I asked for it smoked. I can't wait to come back and try more. FYI, they also have event spaces for large gatherings. Be sure to check them out!! read more

If you're looking for a place that feels like an elite rooftop in Las Vegas and a luxe cocktail lounge had a baby in the Midwest, EXO is that vibe. I stopped by for the launch of their new food and cocktail menu, and honestly? They nailed it. The Pink Pony Spritz was fresh, fruity, and fun--equal parts glam and dangerously sippable. And the hummus and baba ganoush? Silky, flavorful, and served with the kind of care that tells you they're not just phoning in the apps. The space itself is a whole moment--think neon art, rich textures, a giant tree growing through the center of the dining area, and a bar that demands you sit down and order something with bubbles. Staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of what they're serving. Whether you're there for a date night, girls' night, or just a solo moment of sparkle (highly recommend), EXO is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel cooler. Can't wait to come back and sip through the rest of the menu. Follow me for more local recs, honest reviews, and fabulous finds around St. Louis and beyond! read more

My friend and I tried some of their speciality Halloween cocktails at the bar before being seated for our pedicures and I love that you can order your drinks right from the pedicure chairs as well. I opted for the seasonal gel pedicure. The nail tech was nice and tentative. I will say for a pedicure, they are on the pricier side compared to other nail salons but you're also paying for the experience read more

Walk ins are welcome but reservations is the way I chose to try a pedicure service and lunch for three. Many services to try but we chose a classic pedicure with gel nail . (Simple Sole) our time was 11:30a once you check in at front desk and leave your card on file you are on your way to browse around and take in the ambiance of the building. This building is beautiful and takes you into the garden of Central Park . The greenery, the colors the lighting makes you feel like Aladdin ( a whole new world)!! Our pedicure technicians Amy. ICT and CT I hope I got there names right where very friendly, speedy and professional. I love the fact you can order food and drink as you get your services rendered. Building was well lit , spacious, smells were pleasant and plenty of technicians for short wait time. Maddy was our server and she was friendly, smiling and eager to assist . I ordered an mocktail called Garden of Exo, it was very sweet and colorful! Next i ordered a drink called Eat Me Drink Me ! Lastly an infusion drink called Bubbles and Berries. I attached the ingredients in these drinks below for your curiosity pleasure!:) food I ordered Nashville Chicken strip sliders which was very tasty w/fries , others ordered fried pickles with exo sauce and crispy shrimp, quesadillas and steak fries. Drinks were an 6/10 food were an 6.5/10. Staff were all friendly, they also have a new Sunday Brunch. Check out their website for all the information on services offered, theme nights, hrs and days of operation as well . read more

So, this is my second time coming to this place of business. The first time, I did have an appointment and when I got there, I had to wait. Which is understandable cause it's a busy place. I think I finally got someone to provide service maybe 30 minutes later and the guy did a good job. This second time I made an appointment a bit st the last minute at 1:12 on Friday, July 31. I got to the place at 1:25 and they didn't have my appointment in the system. OK fine. And I was told that there would be a 15-20 minute wait. Here it is 2:35p and I am still not seen so I have other plans and had to leave. Now, while I was waiting, I did try their charcuterie board and was a little disappointed. See the picture. Overall, my husband and I did like the quality of the service and it's a nice vibe in the place but they need to get their scheduling under control; so I'm not sure if this is a place that I will patronage again, because my time is valuable as is everyone's. read more

EXO Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

The atmosphere and vibes are really nice front desk is great as well. I got a pedicure which was great. My full set was horrible my tech cut me 3 times trying to drill around cuticles and the drilling was very ruff. My nails don't look the best either and the bleeding has not stopped. The next issue is I ordered a drink a pink drink in which the waitress stated it has vodka in it which the drink was $6. My drink was good and I cashed out immediately didn't start a tab. So I ordered another one from a new waitress the one I had prior wasn't there anymore. She brought the drink and I said I like to pay now. Took her a while to come back I flagged her when she walked past. She comes back with iPad to pay and didn't tell me the total she just said tap here. So I asked what's my total she says $28.74 I said for "1 drink" she said you had to I said that's already paid for receipt is right here. She proceeded back to the bar to fix the total she comes back new total is $17.54 which isn't even half of the original total she said which was $28.74. At this point I'm annoyed and just pay it so I can get out of this establishment. I definitely let the front desk know about they did try to accommodate by offering me another drink or redo the transaction. I declined the offer. Not a good experience for me I liked the salon better before this new revamp didn't have these issues then. Oh and two days later one of my nails pops off. read more

EXO Nail Bar - Nail cut - Nail Salons Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

I booked an appointment because I was ready to be pampered. This visit was anything but.... My appointment was 45 minutes late, my manicurist was everything but happy to do my nails, the pedicure was just ok. Shame on you Exo for advertising a wonderful experience. Wrong! read more

This place is definitely not worth the hype. It's fun to visit the fancy salon with its beautiful ambiance, but when it comes to quality and cost, I had a better pedicure and nails done at a local salon many times. I took my daughter there to relax as she has been working nonstop and planning her wedding. It's hard to unwind and enjoy a massage and pedicure with club music blasting at one in the afternoon. To make matters worse, I got a huge cut in my toe that had a chunk of flesh hanging off when I got home. I couldn't sleep because it kept rubbing against my sheet and thumping. Within a week of getting the nails done, they were lifting, and my thumbnail is completely off. I never had any of these issues when I went to a mainstream nail boutique. Another thing that bothered me was that when I visit a salon to decide if I want to get beauty treatments done, it seems like all the employees should look more put together, the one employee who seemed to be in charge that day, didn't look showered, hair greasy, and no one else appeared overly caring about their appearance, which mainstream salon would not be a big deal but with the prices and the advertisement of this company I expected more maybe that's my problem. This lack of professionalism doesn't make you want to invest in beauty / IV treatments at this salon. All in all, for an upwards of over $300 spent, I feel like I could have spent half of that and still had beautiful nails on, without a cut in my toe, and without needing a pedicure when I leave. This is very disappointing because it's so close to my house and now I still have to drive I guess across the river to get that kind of luxury. Too bad. read more

Today I had a 12 pm appointment for a manicure with gel polish and a pedicure with gel polish. 45 minutes later I was assigned a nail tech who informed me that they would not be able to do my manicure. The pedicure was acceptable, however, the tech who did my manicure did an unacceptable job. He had me waiting for him for 10 minutes before he showed up to remove the old polish and this was after he was told that I was his client and waiting for him. As a high-end nail salon, I will not recommend them for any service. Not only are they overpriced, but they also charge you even if you want your nails cut down. I am so upset with their services I will never come back. read more

Received a flyer with a coupon for free appetizer at a local event. Went less than a month later for dinner to try it out, said they had closed their kitchen and don't serve food. I was like "huh, you guys just gave me this flyer promoting your food less than a month ago", staff seemed confused why I would be disappointed and basically said "oh, we just decided to close the kitchen last week, you can still stay and have a drink though" read more

What a fabulous experience! Everyone I interacted with was pleasant. The atmosphere was beautiful and so relaxing. I loved the availability to get food. The experience was awesome and my nails also look great! Can't wait to come back and bring some friends! read more

EXO Nail Bar - Outside - Nail Salons Near Me - Edwardsville, Illinois

What a great place!! We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The menu of services was fully explained to us, and all our questions were answered, as we chose the kind of manicures and pedicures we wanted. One of the things that sets EXO apart is the small touches, like the glasses of water that were delivered while we went through the menu, the big screens that played the music videos, the full bar, food made to order, and the wait staff bringing you your order while you are being pampered!! Our manicures and pedicures were some of the best we have had - a week later and my regular manicure (not gel) has yet to chip!! We can't wait to go back!! read more

Best value for personal care I've ever gotten!!! The same price for a much more attentive and elevated experience. I received kind and attentive care from the entire staff: hosts, waiter, bartender, technicians, and manager who checked in on us throughout the process. Far more than I'd ever expected from a list of services starting at $30 for a basic manicure and polish (which is pretty standard for all those other reviews that complained about price) I went to EXO not realizing how decadent and luxurious it is, and was intimidated by the Las Vegas lounge area with mixology bar. When I informed them that this was my first time, they kindly and patiently walked me thru the options several times. I will be back. Shout out to Tracy my tech. read more

This ambience of this place is absolutely amazing! Staff was pleasant, food and drinks were great! The Pedi process was nice. The party room no longer has the massage feature on the pedicure chairs and the water didn't seem to stay warm, but I enjoyed being able to order drinks and food while being serviced. For a simple pedicure I expect all dead and dry skin to be removed from my feet. For their deluxe $90 pedicure; I expected to have cleaner cuticles and a smoother heals. Overall, we enjoyed the experience. I would probably only go back for lunch. read more

Vibe is good, they offer a lot as far as nails, and entertainment. Brunch was good, but we had a group of about seven, and four out of the seven complained about their gel polish chipping early. Everyone was very nice and attentive. The mimosas will sneak up on you seriously. read more

I recently visited Exo Nail Bar and had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service from Tiffany and Kim. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, creating a relaxing and luxurious experience. Tiffany and Kim were both incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout my visit. The attention to detail during my pedicucre was impressive, and I left with my nails looking flawless. Highly recommend Exo Nail Bar for anyone looking for a top-notch nail salon with a fantastic team and a wonderful ambiance! Also if you have time grab a bite to eat they have a full restaurant and a fully stocked bar with creative and tasty drinks. read more

This atmosphere of this place is nice. Staff was pleasant, food was great (I had avocado toast) However, for the price, I had much higher expectations for my pedicure and manicure results. The process of the pedicure/mani was nice. I enjoyed being able to order drinks and food while sitting in the chair(the massage chairs were nice too). But I expect to not still have dead/dry skin on my feet after paying $75 just for the pedicure. I also expected to have cleaner cuticles and a better polish result for a $30 manicure. Overall, I was happy with the experience, because that's exactly what this place is, an experience. I would be willing to go back and see if I get better quality results, but if it were to turn out like this again I wouldn't be going back. Edit: nails are already chipping TWO days later. read more

EXO NAIL BAR (Edwardsville, IL) THE WORST EXPERIENCE!! This was, without question, one of the most frustrating and unprofessional salon experiences I have ever had. I traveled a long distance specifically for this appointment and clearly booked acrylic removal and builder gel. Despite that, I was shuffled between FOUR techs, none of whom seemed prepared or trained for the service I scheduled. By the time I reached the last tech, his attitude made it clear he didn't want to help at all. He walked away, complained to someone else, and I was abruptly told he would no longer be doing my nails. At that point, I had wasted over FOUR hours in this salon, with absolutely nothing completed. This wasn't a minor inconvenience--I had a flight and a critical business meeting the next morning, and this salon turned what should have been simple into a complete disaster. The front desk made the situation even worse. Instead of resolving anything, she raised her voice, talked over me, and was shockingly rude, adding unnecessary stress to an already unbelievable situation. My entire visit felt chaotic, dismissive, and completely lacking in basic customer respect. I left with no service done, hours of my time lost, and zero professionalism shown by the staff. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend avoiding this salon if you expect competence, courtesy, or even the bare minimum of customer service. read more

I love this place they offer everything and the service food and drinks are top tier me and mines won't be going nowhere else

Was so excited to go here, the decor, cleanliness, and options were excellent. My drink was delicious as well. However, I was rushed thru my appointment and received sub-par service for a basic $30 painted pedicure. This resulted in uneven painting of my toes, which is more irritating than if she would've left it at one coat. Unsure if I will be returning because top-notch service isn't consistent thru each employee to customer. read more

Im not a nail person because Ive worked 25yrs as a nurse, but HELLO. This place just changed my mind!! Beautiful place filled with beautiful people, all there to make you happy. Manicures in the front, pedicures to the side, multiple bars throughout. Big comfy white couch and fancy chairs to sit in. The patio reminds me of the rooftops in Chicago. Igloo with dinning table and warming stations. I can not wait to go back. I was told there will be an appetizer/tapas type menu available in two weeks. I hope Edwardsville appreciates this gem as much as I do! Ps order the bubbling berries martini. You won't regret it. read more

I would never come to this place again or recommend it to anyone. While the atmosphere is nice the quality of the work and the experience IS NOT IT. I got my eyebrows done and my feet. The eyebrow technician ripped the skin off both of my eyelids and also did a terrible job on me feet. When she ripped the skin off my eyelids she didn't even tell me but said an "Oh." I didn't know the skin was ripped until I went to the bathroom after session. I asked for the manager and explained what happened and asked for ointment. There was no resolution made. They put coolant on me skin, which further burned it and I had to rush to the bathroom to wash it off. After, I had to ASK for a refund. Even after asking to the manager why I was so upset and that my graduation was THE NEXT DAY, the manager didn't offer to try to fix the issue or even give a refund. On top of that, the quality of the pedicure I received was not up to par for the price paid. The gel polish was left on the top of my feet, the calluses were not removed, and the paint job was messy. The technician also made my toe bleed. While cleaning the sides of my toenail, she went too deep and took too much skin off. I will never come back here. read more

Absolutely incredible experience that you'd expect in Miami or Las Vegas! I've been there twice in the last week and could find a reason to be there multiple times a week.

My sister-in-law and her girlfriend and I came here to get out nails done before vacation. I was pretty excited as I've heard some wonderful things about this place. She made an appointment for us at 1PM. We were seated immediately on their comfortable pedicure chairs after choosing our colors. We all opted for gel colors because we were going on a beach vacation. I generally go every 2 weeks for my manicure and pedicure and have been doing so for years but have never tried this place, however, EXO sounded very promising as both a nail salon and a lounge. Their kitchen was closed the time we went which was a bummer because I was looking forward to trying out some of their fares. We ordered some coconut mojitos and a round of shots as our pedicures were getting started. The drinks were excellent, however, the pedicure was quite rushed. According to their description, their classic pedicure includes a Himalayan pink salt soak, nail trim, file, shape, simple pumice bar cleanup with some cuticle care, and a mini massage. Well, I got the nail trim, filing, and a little it of cuticle care but that's it. I did not see any salt soak on my pedicure water, nor did I get any sort of massage, mini or otherwise. Additionally, my sister-in-law paid for my pedicure and whoever took the payment did not notify my nail technician so when my nail technician was getting ready to check me out, she charged me an extra $60 for a pedicure that was already paid for. My sister-in-law and her girlfriend were in the lounge so I confirmed with her that my pedicure was indeed paid for and she said they were. After clarifying this, they took the extra $60 off -- by the way, the services menu for the services states that gel pedicure is $42 so not sure why it was $60. My pedicure looked fine and lasted the 2 weeks I generally expect when getting gel but there was just nothing that blew me away about my manicure and pedicure session. It was very lack-luster and I have definitely had way better services in other places without being overcharged while rendering a rather mediocre service. The atmosphere was also less than relaxing. They had a DJ when we went and I'm not sure if this is a common weekend practice, but it was honestly way too loud and felt more like a club than a salon. What kind of atmosphere are they exactly going for? I'm not trying to sound like I'm 80 but perhaps I prefer a nail salon with more of a spa-like/relaxing atmosphere. If I want to go to a club, I'll go to club. It was too chaotic. After our nail salon sessions, we headed to the lounge where we spent a couple hours hanging out and relaxing. The lounge was much better, not as loud and we could actually hear each other talk. Everyone was friendly at the lounge and service was quick. I wish the nail salon service was close to the lounge service but my nail tech said nothing to me the entire time and like I said, she rushed through my entire session. Overall, lounge would be a 3-star because we really only had drinks and never got to try their food and the nail salon would be more like a 1-1.5 star. I would give this place a 2-star, which is quite disappointing for how excited I was prior to coming here. read more

I went into Exo Nail Bar for the first time for a full experience with a bridal party last Thursday. I live out of town now, but came in for a wedding. We were excited to try Exo Nail Bar because it came highly recommended and appears to be more of an elevated experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, however I am slightly concerned about the amount of time the product lasted. I paid $207.00 for 2 manicures + full sets with gel polish and 2 pedicures with gel polish and 4 days after getting our full set, I have one nail completely lifted off and 3 nails lifted and about to fall off (I will have to get a new full set put on because too many nails have lifted). I wear tips with acrylic+gel polish regularly and it usually lasts me 3 weeks between fills with no lifting/popping off. My teenage daughter had every single nail pop off after 5 days. I've never experienced nails coming off so easily and so soon after application. It feels like a total waste of money because the nails only lasted half a week, which is incredibly disappointing to say the least. read more

I took my 7 year old in for a pedicure. They have a little selfie station in the front which my YouTube loving daughter adored. We were asked immediately if we would like a drink. The pedicures were so nice and they both really took their time even though they were clearly very busy. I think a kids gel pedicure and adults gel pedicure were $80 total. Which is reasonable considering this salon is so high end compared to others. The salon is HUGE and would be perfect for a girls day! They delivered pitchers of sangria and custom cocktails for multiple groups while we were there! She noticed one of my nails (a dip manicure from a different salon) looked a little dull and asked if i wanted her to fix it. I said sure. I expected to be charged $5 for it but it was bothering me so I did it anyway. She added a gel topcoat to all of my nails, then cuticle oil and hand lotion..... for free!!! Just while i was waiting for my toes to be done drying. I tipped the heck out of her and will be back next time for sure. read more
