I've been coming to this salon for months, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I spent $130 on my nails in one week after being advised to remove my acrylics and switch to gel on my natural nails instead of getting a fill or new set. I trusted the recommendation, but my nails started breaking the very next day. By the following week, I only had 4 long nails left. I stopped in to show them what happened and explained that switching to gel was the tech's recommendation, not mine. Instead of really addressing the issue, they kept repeating that natural nails are weaker after acrylic removal. The owner told me to come back later and she would fix them. When I returned, she put acrylic back on, meaning I paid to remove them only to need them again days later. If I had been warned this would happen, I never would have agreed to remove the acrylics in the first place. What disappointed me most was believing they were fixing the issue as a courtesy, or at least heavily discounting it since the problem came directly from their recommendation. She even tried to upsell me on chrome during the appointment, which I declined because I didn't want to ask for too much. Then at checkout, I was told the total was $70. After I explained why I was unhappy, I was offered only $20 back in cash. Overall, I'm disappointed with how this was handled. As a regular customer, I expected more accountability and care. If they truly valued customer satisfaction, they could have refunded my card after I refused the $20 and left, but they chose not to. read more

Expo Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Horrible!!!! My daughter went in for a fill. The man told her it started at $38. He charged her $55 the same as her 2 friends who were getting a new set. The older man did her nails. She only had 2 French nail design on each hand and the other 3 solid. By Thursday 6 nails fell off. Took her back today to have them fix it. Was given a lot of attitude. Lots of talking in their language. Same guy did them. Severely messed up her cuticles!!! He would not do the 2 French nails in each hand. Then did not use the light. Color coming off her nails. Horrible service. Don't care about the customer. Taking advantage of teenage girls!!! I'd give them a negative review if I could!!!! read more

Expo Nails - Todays supposed repair from the botch fill today. Notice her damaged cuticles along with the horrible paint job!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

See all

Very clean salon and the staff is wonderful. I have never had a dip powder manicure before, and it was great. David did a wonderful job.

The salon is clean and lots of room for pedicure chairs and nail tables. I asked them for a full set. The nail professional I had was Brian. He was very nice and funny but this is not about fun it's about getting your nails done to your satisfaction. I asked him to paint French and he did. The problem was my nails were lumpy. The Polish didn't make it to the corner of my nail. The product was flooded at my cuticle and some was on my finger. I went home peeling nail product off five fingernails the cuticle and sides. The worst part was when I got home I folded some bed sheets and my ring finger nail came right off exactly one hour after my appointment. Brian did say no refunds but they will fix it if any problems. I didn't go back. I found a nail salon that met my needs and I'm pleased with them. read more

Luke warm to cool pedicure water. 80 Dollars for a pedicure and manicure because they said it was a French manicure. Looks at best. 50 for a mani/pedi but add on additional 30 for a French manicure, that again was basic and Just ok l! Ok, the pedicure not so great. Could have done better at home read more

Great staff! Really sweet and professional! They do great work! Tried this salon after moving from out of state.

My first time at Expo nails and will be my only. The older woman gave me a great pedicure but the polish part was not great! A gentleman gave me my gel manicure. I have areas that were not covered with the top coat, paint on my skin and he hardly touched my cuticles. I wanted to love this place as it's so close to my new house. Guess I'll be driving back to my other nail salon and I paid more than what I normally do in North Kingstown! Such a shame, prob should have requested Katie as I heard she is good. But I won't be returning!!!! read more

I came here off the recommendation from my coworker after she noticed a handful of bad Dip manicures. I arrived earlier than my reservation but they were able to take me early which was great. My nail tech was Katie based on my friends recommendation and she not only did a great job, but also was very friendly. I'm on week two of my manicure and so far it has not faded or chipped! My nail polish was put on smooth without bumps and not too thick. The price for a dip manicure was at industry standards. I will be back for a pedicure soon! read more

I just got my nails done 1 week ago by them and all of them are already falling off. As well my nails did not come out the way I wanted them too. There very nice there but they do a bad job on nails. Could of got better read more

Hands down the worst manicure and pedicure I have ever received. The woman who did my pedicure was rushing through painting my nails, even though there were no other clients waiting to be serviced. I had an appointment at 6:00pm, showed up about 10 minutes early, and was rushed through my whole pedicure process. The woman also wrapped my gel finger nails in alcohol instead of acetone, which prolonged the removal process even longer that it usually takes. The gentleman who did my gel manicure also did a terrible job. He barely used any polish on my nails. I got this gel manicure on a Friday, did not have a strenuous weekend, and by Monday all of the gel on my finger nails peeled completely off. Worst part is, I PAID $60 FOR THIS TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. NEVER. AGAIN. read more

Horrible service. I had a 4:30 nail appointment. Wasn't seen until 4:50. Had my pedicure. Then had to wait for my manicure to be given. Didn't leave the establishment until 6:30. For a simple mani/pedi. No gel, no fancy designs. Just an overpriced mani pedi that sucked. Not worth it yelpers read more

I have been going to Expo Nails since the opened! I always feel welcomed and they always do a wonderful job!

Got my nails done here. Was the worst set I've ever had they are streaky are so thick and they didn't even paint the full nail. They left nail polish on my skin never pushed back my cuticles. And when asked for a refund he told me no and said he will fix them where I refused for that to happen it was 50 dollars and the worst set ever. I wouldn't even recommend this place to the person I hated most in the world. read more

Best. Salon. Ever. Brian did my pink and white exclusively for about a year and he really ruined me for other nail places! I am totally crazy about my nails being extremely uniform, square and straight. Brian knew how thin I liked them and how big I liked my whites and gave me the perfect manicure every single time. After I had been there a few times, Brian put my own dedicated set of tools into a box with my number on it so that every time I go in there, I'm being worked on with tools that have never touched another customer. They think of everything! read more

Go see Brian or David and you will never go to another nail salon again. They do the best pink and white as well.

Walked in for a pedicure, manicure, eye and lip wax. They took me right in on a Saturday and I did not have to wait. I have been coming here for years. They do an excellent job always and are very clean. Glad to be looking fab thanks to them! read more

I love it here. It's super clean, they always have plenty of staff on, and they're so nice. They do a great job, as well!

I used to go quite often . They did an ok job on gel manis. I stopped going because I made an appointment at a certain time , drove 45 minutes to get there and when I got there the "guy in charge" said that the appt was a mistake and wouldn't take me! After 45 minutes I paid for THEIR mistake! I never walked in that place again , very poor customer service, OK on the nails. read more

Thought I'd try the place again and was even more dissatisfied! Not only did the lady made my nail bleed but she also cut my toenail in a way that now feels super uncomfortable. There's only one guy in that whole establishment that will do a good job and that's it. The last time I was there the lady left a bunch of bubbles under the nail polish and only painted over it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

This place is great. The customer service, the quality of their work and the prices are all fantastic. They have a large selection of different nail color options, a clean atmosphere and plenty of magazines and a TV to keep you entertained during your visit. I've gotten acrylic nails, gel manicures and pedicures here. I absolutely recommend Salon Expo! read more
