I loved the experience I had there with my daughter. They are clean and very fast. Amazing

This is my third and FINAL Time coming here . Each time I have had to wait 30-45 mins . They take you to the pedicure chair and leave you sitting in cold water waiting for your technician . Most infuriating . Technicians are so busy they rush through the manicure /pedicure since they are booked back to back . Expressed my frustration to the manager who just apologized and didn't do anything about it . Keep thinking it will get better but weekdays are just as bad . Will NEVER come back read more

This salon is one of my favorite ones! It is kept very clean and Tracy is my favorite nail tech!

I went for the first time yesterday and I will definitely be coming back! I'm so happy I found this place. Incredibly relaxing and clean, and the staff is very welcoming and kind. When I didn't like the color I originally chose my tech was more than happy to let me pick a new one. She would regularly show me the work to make sure it was what I wanted. Love this place! read more

Xpression Nail Spa - Full set gel no chip - Nail Salons Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

This is a new nail salon that just opened. I got a 50% off coupon so I thought, "Why not?" The first thing that struck me about the place was its size. This place is huge! They must be able to accommodate 30 people at once. The only issue is that they only had 3 people working when I arrived. Another thing that struck me was the cleanliness. Each person gets their own liner for the pedicure tub and individual nail kits that are thrown away. The pedicure itself was nothing special. I got the Signature Pedicure, but it was similar to the one I can get down the street at Zen and had less extras than Crystal Nails. I had good results with my manicure, but again, nothing special. This place will be on my rotation due to location and cleanliness, however, I think there are some cheaper options that offer more. read more

I have been to this Nail Salon many times and I'm obsessed with it!! They are the closest I have found in the Chicagoland area that comes close to what we have in LA read more

This nail salon is great. Everyone is always kind there and they offer a complimentary beverage. I typically get a no-chip manicure and it lasts almost 3 weeks. The place is also very clean and welcoming. read more

I came to Salon Xpression because of a referral. The salon itself is large and they are utilizing the 6 feet social distancing. The staff was friendly. But my technician Mary was amazing! My nails look beautiful and I had the beat pedicure of my life with her. I will definitely become a regular here. I give this salon 10 stars!! read more

Xpression Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

This nail salon is amazing for pedicures. The owner is very professional and responds very quickly via Yelp (that is how I've made my appointments). Everything here is very sanitary which I love. The environment is so calm and relaxing, definitely not like other nail salons I've been to. The pricing for pedicures is a bit more than other places, but that is because they massage your feet/legs, use a sugar scrub, and even a hot towel. Overall great service. read more

Very easy to make an appt, friendly staff, clean salon, well priced for dip powder, good selection on colors, and they do their work pretty quickly while doing a great job! Love this place! Thank you, Holly! read more

Just had an amazing pedicure at this big place. They even offered me some water if I do wanted it. It's very big and high class. I got not a pedicure, the lady while scrubbing the bottom of my feet pressed on my pressure point which felt great. They have relaxing light music playing with 2 giant flat screen TVs that I saw. In addition $28 for a pedicure where it's usually $35 is icing on the cake! It's a must! read more

Worst experience ever! Will never go there again. My nail technician was so unprofessionally bad communicator, and did a horrible job overall. Can't believe someone actually recommend this place for me. Will definitely not recommend it to anyone! read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Salon Xpression! I made an appointment online for the following day and received a conformation email a few hours later. When I was running behind the next day, I called and was able to push my appointment back by a half hour. I'm an avid nail salon goer and was searching for a go-to salon and think I may have found it! When I walked in, they showed me their extensive collection of dip, gel and regular nail colors to chose from and offered me water, coffee and wine. I opted for the Xpress pedicure and to get the dip polish removal, shape and color. The pedicure was very relaxing and thorough. The shop was immaculately clean, spacious and very aesthetically pleasing. The whole vibe was incredibly relaxing. My dip nails came out really well, with an almost perfect coffin shape (I'm very picky). There was exceptional attention to detail, which is very nice. My only small complaint is that the attention to detail does take time, and I was in the salon for two hours. They are a new-ish salon (they've been there about a year and a half) and I'm happy to endorse them and keep going back! read more

This is by far the cleanest nail salon I've been to! They did a great job and I'll definitely be coming back soon! I'm so happy I've found a new place so close to home read more

Good for pedicures with a great selection on colors but the last time I called to schedule an appointment they made it seem like they don't clean their products by the questions I was asking and what they told me that they didn't want to do.. read more

Needed to have a nail repaired. They were able to get us in right away without the wait. The establishment is clean and does not smell of chemicals. They have a lot of color s/brands to choose from ( Essie, OPI and another no chip option). I'm so glad they were able to match our color. They also offer you coffee tea and bottled water. read more

Xpression Nail Spa - Perfection! - Nail Salons Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

The worst pedicure/service I've ever had. First, I had to confirm with the nail tech what I'm getting. She thought I was getting the Signature pedi, and I kept telling her I asked for the Sports Pedi. She had to go confirm it with the girl at the front desk because she hardly spoke English. As she was doing my pedicure she kept looking at her watch every five minutes. She made me feel very rushed and nervous while doing that. With the Sports pedicure you're supposed to get a sugar scrub massage. She smeared the sugar scrub on my feet and a little above my ankles for not even ten seconds and then rinsed them off. That wasn't a massage. That was a joke and a waste of $43. When she had my feet wrapped in towels for about ten minutes, she went to prepare the chair next to me, brought her next client and started to help her. That's rude! They don't do that at other salons. She cut my toenails very uneven. Some toenails are longer than the others. I had to ask her to cut down my big toenail because she left it much longer than the other. They do not match. All have different lengths. I'm assuming most of the nail techs in there are NOT licensed because they speak very little English and how do they pass their exam if they can't speak English? Their license certificates are not posted on the wall for all workers so you know they're not working legally as nail techs. Also, it was so crowded in there and people were coughing left and right. I know it's a choice to wear a mask, and I do, but it was so crowded and people were sneezing and coughing, I just felt very uncomforable. They try to be clean by spraying after every client, BUT they don't spray the pedicure chairs where the client rests their head or the armrest. I could just imagine what's on there from everyones' hair. Gross! That was my experience and I've had better foot massages and pedicures at smaller less expensive salons. Won't be going back! read more

Love this place! I booked an appointment here last minute since it was near my job. The staff was very friendly, offering refreshments soon as I walked in. I'm always very skeptical trying new shops because the length of my nails are long and it's always a hit or miss when it comes to the perfect coffin shape. The nail tech I had did an amazing job! I will now be a regular customer. read more

very accommodating and professional. thank you all very much. it's been over a week and my nails still look like new!

Love this place! They always manage to fit my family in, even when they are busy. Nails last a long time and tons of color selection. Nice massage chairs, super clean and they have complimentary beverages while your in the salon. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's clean, the customer service is beyond amazing. They do a great job of making you feel welcome, and checking that you are happy! I came in to get the dip with a friend, and I'm happy to commute from the city to this wonderful location. Also, shout out to the manager who is very very kind and professional! read more

First visit yesterday and they WOW'd me. I brought Nailtiques 2+, OPI ridge filling base coat and Sache Vive because I know these products work very well for me. Myling not only used them but took the time to read instructions and was very, very pleasant about doing so. I also brought with me my go to OPI color for summer, but they had that (and a zillion other choices) so we used theirs. Tony, the manager could not have been nicer or more eager to please. After we chatted on Sunday, he recommended Myling as a great technician for my needs and he was absolutely right! Love that they are open 7 days a week and until 8pm on week days. Prices are very reasonable. Will be recommending them to my friends and look forward to future visits. BTW, I'm very particular about my nails, so was very happy and surprised by Salon Xpression! read more

My eyebrow got burned when they did the waxing and it peeled pretty badly a week later.

My entire experience at this salon was great! The front desk women were welcoming, helpful, and so friendly. Annie did an amazing full acrylic set with small designs and was so sweet and gentle on my fingers. I would definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

I have never had a bad experience with this place. Always consistent when doing a full set and my mom and I live going there for pedis. Literally best place for pedicures! I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Very clean facility. They do not talk in their language like other places do. They try to interact with you. Reasonable prices compared to other places in the area. I have seen a few ladies for a pedicure, and they were all nice, patient too! read more

When I first walked in I was throughly I pressed by the shear size of this place. 24 pedicure chairs, 24 manicure stations and 8 nail dryers. Offered coffee or water when we came in. My experience went down hill with what I assume is the owner. He kept asking if we wanted something to drink wanted to sit etc. I understand he is being polite but no thank you is still no thank you. Then he proceed to tell the nail technicians "make sure you don't ask her anything, don't ask her if she wants to sit down" that right there killed the mood for me. The pedicure chair was clean, they used bowl liners and disposable files and all the tools were sterilized. The actual pedicure left me wanting more. If you have a big group this place could accommodate but that would be my only recommendation. read more

I can't say enough good things about this salon - they were accommodating, thorough and it was so clean! I will definitely be coming back and I highly recommend if you're looking for a new salon - give Salon Xpression a try! read more

The service here has completely plummeted. I have been coming here for the last 5 years and will no longer be going. I always make an appointment and never used to have issues. The last 3 appointments have been a complete joke. It went from waiting 15-20 min to my last visit of waiting 40 minutes for an appointment! I respect your business and show up on time for my appointment but they could care less for making you wait. They just move you from one place to the next thinking this does something. No it's still 40 minutes after my appointment time. Again, I understand things can happen but this is now a normal occurrence, 3 times in a row and just worsening. In addition, the workers have become extremely rude and I was trying to tell them you are being very rough but absolutely do not listen, on the last occurrence the individual cut my cuticle so bad that my finger was bleeding the whole time! The next time, I asked them to cut my nails down a little, she cut the whole way when I said I did not want that she said you say short, no I showed you exactly how much to cut. They do not care! I will absolutely never come back to this place, I don't know what happened here but it's a shame. read more

This is my go-to nail salon. Very clean, very friendly, super attentive. I've gotten many no chip manicures, a couple pedicures, and now have switched to dip manicures. When I wanted to take a break from no chip the staff was supportive and explained that if i was concerned about thinning nails I should try dip when I was ready to come back. They took time to explain that the removal process is less harsh. When I returned after two months and I was scared to start putting my nails through more damage, they assured me that the technicians ONLY buff enough to prep the nail so that they will last, NEVER any more. My technician smiled at me and told me that my nails are very strong. My dip is perfect and I love it. Not too thick and she shaped them how I wanted. I'm very happy. Also, I never come prepared with a color in mind. It takes a while for me to browse through all the pretty options they have. They let me sit at the counter and offer me something to drink while I take my time deciding. If i can't decide they help me and show me how it will look by painting one nail. They are sooo nice. read more

The WORST nail salon I have ever been to! My appointment was at 6 and I had to wait 30 minutes even though the salon was empty! Not only that, the lady that did my nails cut my finger when she was trying to remove my cuticles! Like sweetie are you removing my cuticles or my skin? I tried to get past that but then came when she shaped my nails. I asked for round nails only, but she cut my nails and shaped them into an oval form. Also, the lady was being very rude when I was asking her to fix my nails. She would paint my nail, and there would be some paint on the side, when I would ask her to clean it up she would give me dirty looks and barely removed it! Overall a horrible experience, I get my nails done to relax but the whole time I was stressed and felt uncomfortable to ask her to correct my nails. The store manager was no help either, such a shame! Dear Tony Loser, I have no clue who Jessica J is, but obviously you have a lot of people who don't like your salon. And what plan? I left a review because you're place sucks and people deserve to know where they should and shouldn't spend their money at. And by the way that you're acting, people will see how truly rude you guys are. And Andrew sweetie thank you for taking time out of your day for that sweet little message! read more

This was my first time at Salon Xpression and it was great. I arrive early and was able to get started. They did a great job with my mani/pedi and and they lasted weeks without chipping. Scheduling a time to get my gel manicure taken off was really easy and it didn't take too long. I'll definitely be back. read more

I called at 5pm to make an appointment at 7pm to have a pedicure done, I live all the way in Chicago, and I always loved coming here but after my experience was today. I will not be coming back, When I was booking my appointment over the phone the lady at the front was rude and cut me off, then tried to compose herself, I almost didn't come for that reason I got here at 6:20, they're were about 6 people I asked she confirmed they were walk- in I waited until 6:55 , then they prioritize a customer ahead of me, unbeknownst to me she had an appointment at 6:30 so they were already behind schedule, if that would of been the case they should of informed me when I walked in at 6:20 and I would reschedule for a different day with no issue but instead they have me waiting until 7:20 and still no update until I asked the lady and I stated, I have prior engagement if she would of let me know ahead of time I would of not been upset . But anyways to conclude this place is not what it use to be, unprofessional staff and lack of communication I will not be coming back. read more

12/4/21-- I brought my 2 y/o dtr, sister, and mom with me on my appointment. As soon as I walked in, I felt so unwelcomed, Their so called "manager/receptionist " kept picking on my dtr. Me and my mom are trying to watch my daughter and keep her entertained while im trying to have my nails done, but she kept rounding on us and saying condescending remarks. She was very inappropriate to the point i was arguing with her in front of other clients. I didn't even get to have my no chip manicure done because she constantly bugged me and my dtr. She has the nerve to tell me why am i upset with her? My dtr is a toddler, she's very curious. She didn't break anything. She is the worst manager/receptionist. She is so disrespectful with clients coming in. When I told her what do u want me to do? Not finish my manicure? She was like" it's up to you." She's not even apologetic on her remarks. I wouldn't be surprised if they start loosing clients because of their 'manager/receptionist.' This place is not kid friendly!!! read more

Came here because it's super close to work. The place is HUGE with massage chairs and stations. There are tv on the walls. They offer regular polish, no-chip, and dip. The customer service is phenomenal. They offer complimentary wine, water, coffee, or tea. It is super clean!this is definitely the place to bring a large group or just yourself! There's a parking lot in the front. read more
