I have never had a bad experience there! I have had several people do a set of nails for me there and all of them are awesome and friendly! I've even gotten some friends and family to go with me, and they enjoy going as well! 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Nail Expo - My newest nail design, rainbow cow print! - Nail Salons Near Me - Orem, Utah

I only came here because I had a gift card. I opted for a pedicure. I like to get the regular polish since it's easier to take off if I want to do it on my own. Plus, I like to upgrade to get the wax. I gave the color to the employee. She told me, "You can't wear those shoes after this pedicure. It won't be dry." I then said, "Yeah, I know. Don't you have those flip flop things?" (Hence the whole reason I wore flats is because I NEEDED A PEDICURE and didn't want to show my toes. A minute later she asked if I wanted the gel polish. "No, I politely said." Not a minute after that she asked again, "Do you want the gel polish? It will dry lots faster." "Um, NO! I want the regular polish. She rushed through the pedicure, said "Excuse me" awkwardly as she placed the towel on my legs as if I wasn't making eye contact and wanted to start a conversation. Nothing. I went to pay at the end and the guy came to the register with his client and told me he will help her first (his client that was walking up). Oh, don't mind me. I'll just wait here LONGER. He didn't help me. I then was helped by the same girl who ended our transaction -- "You're done." I get it. I'm writing it off as a big cultural difference as far as mannerism I am not accustomed to. But I am a bit bummed that I have $9 left on my gift card and have no intention to come back. I have been treated much better at other salons and even offered complimentary drinks and snacks. I won't be back. read more

Do NOT come here if you want your time wasted. I have been coming here since 2021 and have had a decent experience for the most part. I schedule an appointment most if not every time due to my busy schedule. I came in today at 5:20 for an appointment I had at 5:30. I decided to walk out at 6:05 because waiting over 40 minutes for a scheduled appointment is absurd! While I was wasting my time waiting another lady came in around 5:40 and was immediately attended. I am unsure if my wait time was longer because of the color of my skin but I was certainly feeling it was cause of that reason, being the only person of color in the salon. Horrible experience! read more

John does a wonderful job at full set French tip nails! It was about a 10 minute wait as a walk in and he did my nails so effortlessly in about 40 mins love it! read more

Do not come here! Every single time I've come they mess up my nails horrifically! I had beautiful real long nails and she cut them off so short after I showed her what I wanted many times. After she started to do the white tips I asked for but they were so bad and she could not get it right so finally I said just do the whole f** thing nail white. What I asked for vs. what I got^^ read more

My nails turned out beautifully! Tammy was so sweet and made my nails look great for Christmas! The reason I don't give it five stars, is because I think they charge just a bit too much. I was charged five extra dollars for them filing my nails. And I was expecting a lower cost as it was shone on the board in the waiting area but was charged almost $15 extra than what was listed. Overall great service and beautiful nails, just overcharged. read more

I tried to go here multiple times. they messed up every time. they don't know what color comes out of the powder. I ask for one thing and get a different color. the layers get heavy and it takes a long time if they need to sand off the wrong color. my nails are never straight. this has happened three times In a row. i gave them a chance. if you aren't with the owner Tammy, then you might not be happy. read more

The waiting chairs are right in front of the cash register and makes it super uncomfortable . The people trying to pay are and the people waiting are always tripping over each other. Got a gel set and was very disappointing. Maybe it was just the guy that did my nails. Came here because Lims was packed. I will be returning to Lims. read more

Lowered to 3 stars because their waiting area seats are so old and creaky. They feel like they're going to fall apart when you sit on them, and they're right in front of the register so it's awkward when people go to pay and your knees are right behind them.. I was with a group who all had different things done, so we all finished at different times and some of us had to wait after. I'm totally happy with the service though, you can tell everyone there knows what they're doing, Tammy and Danny are so good at nail designs, and the place is very clean. read more

I have come here many times over the years. They have definitely gone downhill. They rushed through mine and my daughter's pedicures today because they were busy. The polish I chose was almost gone. They did one coat, the second coat switched to a different color without me noticing. I got home and noticed the color was off. Upon further inspection I could clearly see two different colors on my toes...and the color didn't go to my cuticle. Soooo disappointed. Not the relaxing pedicure experience I paid for or the quality paint job they used to do. Waste of time and money. read more

I really want to give this nail salon a better review.. I had a pretty good experience my first time visiting. I was a walk-in and was seated immediately for my pedicure and also had a fill done. The pedicure was great, but 2 of the nails on my fill had some weird air bubbles in them. I visited again 3 days ago to get my acrylic nails removed (for a job) and to get a regular polish manicure. Based off this experience, I never want to go back. To remove my acrylic nails, the nail tech shoved a metal file underneath them and pried them off. It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. He ended up completely tearing up one of my thumbnails and it started to bleed. My thumbnail still hurts as I'm writing this and my nails are extremely thin and breaking. I wish I could say something better about the regular polish manicure, but it began to chip in the same day. 8 out of my 10 fingernails are chipped and it's only been 3 days since I got them done. I ended up buying a similar color at Target just to touch them up. While the prices were pretty reasonable, I think I'll visit one of the many other nail salons in Utah county. read more

Came in for a new set of acrylics and pedi for myself and daughter. One technician was supposed to do both my pedicure and manicure but after having done my pedicure you can tell she was in pain. Come to find out she was injured from a car accident so she had to stop shortly after having started on the manicure. I'm glad she did because you can tell she was rushing to get through it and cut me at one point which hurt for a few days. Glad she asked someone else to step in and finish the job and I was grateful because after that I had a good experience and my nails turned out lovely. Both my daughter and I loved the way our nails turned out and I would come back again. The staff is very friendly and the makes you feel welcome. Each station is separated with plastic for your protection from the other clients during COVID-19, so you can feel Safe getting your nails done. read more

NEVER GO HERE. absolutely awful. i had acrylics on my natural nail that i had been growing out for 6 months. i asked for a fill he suggested getting a new set because they were old so i said sure. he then proceeds to rip the old acrylics off my nails (very painful). and after i specifically said i didn't want my nails cut, he proceeds to cut my nails so far down that there is not even a white part showing anymore. and then proceeds to charge me $60 for destroying my nails. read more

I like how quick, yet efficient the tech's are at this salon are. I usually call ahead about 30-45 minutes before just to give them a heads up (also because I'm impatient waiting) but they also take walk ins! Hannah is amazing. I get gel nails and she is helping me grow out my nails. I literally just have nail nubs and my goal is to get them to grow out long enough so I can get acrylics! What a fun nail salon. If you want a pedicure ask for Danny! He is so funny and eat to chat with while you're getting your toes done. read more

Really not impressed with Nail Expo. You know how pedicures are supposed to be relaxing? My pedicure was anything BUT relaxing! The guy giving my pedicure was clearly in a huge hurry and didn't take the time to do anything decently well. - He didn't take off my dark nail polish all the way, so you could see it under my new pink polish. - He rubbed the pumice stone really hard IN MY ARCH!!! He didn't even TOUCH my heels (aka the part of my foot that actually has dry skin that needs to be sloughed off). Spent about 2 seconds on the ball of my foot. Even though I was squirming and clearly hated it when he did it on my arch, he kept going and smirked at my tickle-y pain. - He slapped my feet when he wanted one foot in the water and to start working on the next foot. - He kept my feet in the most awkward position, so I had to activate my leg muscles the entire time he worked on my feet. - He dragged a nail buffer over my nails, which only took about 5 seconds per foot and clearly didn't do anything. - He put the toenail polish on so sloppily. The color didn't reach the edges or bottom of my toenails, and the top coat was only put on half of each toenail. - My friend smudged the polish on her big toe, and instead of fixing it, he just painted over it, leaving a big ugly bump on her nail. - I got hot towels and leg oil, while my friend didn't. (even though we paid for the exact same pedicure!) We also called 2 weeks in advance and scheduled an appointment for 6:15. We didn't even get seated until 6:50, and they let people who had later appointment times (that they scheduled day-of!) sit down first. Oh, and those people got their pedicures done at the same time as each other, while my friend and I each had to watch the other's get done at separate times. Basically, Nail Expo is sloppy and overpriced. I could have done a much better job myself. read more

Jon did a phenomenal job on my nails!! I'm obsessed with them. He was so precise and did exactly what I wanted, and was so nice to me the whole time. It was very well priced too. Highly recommend, i will be coming here again! read more

I have been coming here for years. When my daughters come into town it is tradition for all 4 off us to go. In fact this place is so special my daughter brought a difficult design in for her wedding. You can look at the picture here on this website. It is the Talavera Mexican look done beautifully by Tammy. The past two visits my pedicures were so poorly done. Tammy and John...Ken is a nice kid but very lazy. He needs a lesson on how to do foot massages and scrubs. How to remove dead skin. How to gently push cuticles back. I encourage you to watch all the others too. I have had hundreds of pedicures, I told Ken to do my massage more Chinese style. He said no one in the salon will do that. What?! Massage the toes, deeper pressure on bottom of foot, massage ankles, pretend you care about a job well done!? read more

I had the WORST experience with a man who I had not recognized in the years coming to Nail Expo this morning 4/13/2021. When I asked what his name was, his response was "I don't have a name here". He was so rude and when I tried to strike a conversation with him, he ignored me. I finally asked how long he had been in Utah, his response was "I don't want to answer any questions from you because I'm waiting for a phone call". Fortunately, Anna, Hannah, John and Tammy are terrific as I'm sure all the other employees are nice. So my review only reflects this particular man, but I would normally rate Nail Expo with a 5 star rating. read more

The only nail place I have liked in utah so far is essence nails but since they were booked for the day i decided to try nail expo. I had to wait to be seated but not too long. I had john who was friendly and knew how to run a business. I love my nails and he did a great job! read more

Came from out of town, wanted some French tips, and Yelp told me this was the place. This WAS the place, after I corrected my GPS to find S State St, not N State St. Anyways, Jimmy did my nails. He was super talkative, but not in an annoying way. He was fast, careful, and did a great job! I like short French tips that cover a lot of my nail bed, and without telling him, he did it! I haven't found a place back home that will do it without grumbling and crap talking. It was twenty right dollars for acrylics (white tips) and clear gel polish. Next time I'm in town, if I still have these nails, I'm coming back. read more

Don't come here. I made a mistake just looking at the pictures of the nails they did.. And the man that did MY nails was probably one of the rudest people I've ever come across. Now, my sisters nails look beautiful, My nails however, are so THICK, & short- they look like bubbles.. ogar-ish almost. He made it so I have next to NO nail bed & considering I grew my nails out, this is super disappointing. It's also not very clean here. The powder they used looked dirty, and had a lot of chunks in it. There were also acrylic nails everywhere- on the floor, under the stations, the chairs were really beat up and the towels you use to dry your hands looks dirty. I'm most disappointed on how rude this man was that did my nails. I'll never be back, and I'll definitely warn all the college girls I met from coming here. read more

I came here for a pedicure with a bunch of friends. All my friends got there early so they got the awesome pedicures. Mine was not ugly or anything, it just hurt! The guy I got just isn't very good at doing nails. He cut things back way too much and it hurt. I'm pretty sure he made me bleed a little. They were very nice and all my friends got good nails, so that's why I put up the 3. read more

Nail Expo - My pedicure. Love the color though! - Nail Salons Near Me - Orem, Utah

I've gone here a few times. They've always been polite and the prices are good. They make their acrylic nails a bit thick for my taste, but they've always done well, stayed on and I've not had much problem with lifting. The issue came when I wanted to have my acrylics removed. I could have ripped them off myself for free, but I thought, no, I'll spend the money to have them take them off for me and have my nails look good. I thought they would soak them off, I wanted to keep a little length and not have my actual nail ripped up. The gentleman that took them off, grabbed this spatula looking thing, and some clippers and proceeded to clip the acrylic off, and then wiggle the spatula between my nail and the acrylic. If you want your nails removed, just do it at home, buy some acetate and soak them off. I will go back here for glitter toes, gel and possibly pedicures, but I won't get acrylics here again or have them remove them for me. read more

After coming here for a year, I guess I still don't rank high enough to be treated fairly. Came in today, no one was waiting. They asked me to choose a color and then ignored me. A few minutes later two girls walk in, are greeted cheerfully and immediately given seats, no appointments! Maybe my tips aren't big enough? One of the workers is very nice and treats everyone with kindness. Her name is Kim. But the manager or owner is always very rude. You have to get on her good side for her to treat you like a decent person. I walked out. Never coming back read more

The nail expo is the BEST place to get your nails done in Utah Valley. I have been getting my nails done here for almost 3.5 years. Love it!

They were very accommodating and got me in as a walk in within 10 minutes. There were obviously some regulars that seemed to love it. Hannah took great care of me and my pedicure was great! I think I'd come back here read more

Scheduled for a 6:00pm, sat at pedicure chair until 6:30pm. No water, no one to tell me they're busy and will get to me soon. Walked out. I originally wanted 5:30pm because I had to be somewhere at 7:00pm but the guy said 6:00pm Don't schedule appointments if you're not going to be available for over 30 minutes!!!!! Who knows how long I would've waited if I didn't walk out! read more

Oh My Hell! Missed a call by someone using their phone... they didn't call just once, it was 12 times in a row. I called them back, curious to see what they needed since their voice mails were 3 minutes of emptiness each. I was told I got the wrong number. No big deal. They called me again two hours later multiple times again. I returned their call. The dude on the phone was brash, rude and became real nasty to me..."I already told you, you get wrong number! DO NOT CALL AGAIN!!!" I'm sure they do great nails. But none of my girls will ever go their. Moral is... if there are other places that deliver what you are selling, then you can't afford to be a complete dick to a stranger. You just gave business away! read more

Want A speedy and expensive pedicure? Come here for sure. Want a massage and clean paint? Don't come here.

The past five times I've gotten my nails done here, they are crooked, lumpy, covered in lint, just terrible. And they'll never give a refund or offer to fix them no matter how bad they look. Just not worth my time or money if I'm going to end up going home and soaking them off only to redo them myself! It always seems like it'll be more convenient to go and get them done here, but ends up costing me more money and taking up more of my time! read more

Super poor experience. The older man doing mine, was very rough. Drew a little blood under my big toe nail, on my toe. And then, unfortunately, the end result of my gel pedicure, was quite poor. He was also pretty inappropriate about how attractive he thought my married daughter was, to the point of both of us feeling uncomfortable. Was unprofessional. So all in all, was a painful, poor pedicure with some sexual harassment thrown in. read more
