Express Nails

I have been going to this Salon for a few years now, Lucy does my gel nails every couple of weeks. I have never had a bad experience, I have made bad color choices but that’s on me :) Never been cut or had anything bad happen. They are always pleasant.

First couple times Lucy did my eyebrows really nice. She fixed my eyebrow shape and they looked good!
But the last couple times I been there she botched my eyebrows. I don’t know what happened? I gave her a second chance and last night she waxed them again. She waxed way too much on the top of one eyebrow. They’re crooked and she didn’t clean them up. There small hairs still. And there are bald spots!!!
Then she charged me an extra dollar than normal. I been paying $ 15 but she said it cost $ 16? So they jack up the price? I took that out of her tip then.

I’ve been coming here for months when a nail tech named Rebecca was here; however, since she left I have not had that great of an experience. First off my daughter’s full gel set was botched! The nail tech cut her finger by RUSHING through the job and since it was around the holidays and we had to travel I didn’t see it until we were out of town. I had to take her nails off because there was a situation that accord with the cut on her finger and the full set damaging her natural nails.
Then I come in today for a pedicure trying to give people second chances and the nail tech CUT into my dang skin between my toe nail and toe skin. Now my toe is sore and I can’t put it in water! The nail tech just said sorry sorry but didn’t give a rats you know what! Seriously! Never coming here again! Now I see why Rebecca left!

Do NOT go here!!! they are called Express Nails bc they do not take their time to do a good job. My nails look horrible and not natural at all. Very thick and stubby. The man doing my nails does not even know how to properly file or paint… I had paint all over my nails. Absolutely disgusting and as soon as I left, I went down the street to have them redone. WASTE of time, money and frustration. You have been warned!

This place is horrible. I have cuts under my nails which is very uncomfortable. I’m so mad because it really hurts. I will never go to this place again.

I needed a manicure last minute with a girlfriend and we chose to check out Express Nails. I can say with absolute certainty I will most definitely be returning!
My nail tech was very attentive, and paid extra attention to not missing a single cuticle — usually this is rushed through in my experience. Great customer service all throughout and one of the best gel manicures I’ve gotten in Scottsdale. I love it and I know it’ll last me the full 2 weeks due to how well it was applied. Thanks, guys!

I went back here after deciding not to get acrylics any longer so that I could get gels. The girl that did my nails was SO thorough! She took her time, made sure they looked perfect, and kept doing different things to make them even better! I think she spent a good 45 min. And they look perfect. I don’t know her name, but she’s pregnant and very nice. They were really busy too, so I’m glad it wasn’t rushed.

Worst experience ever. I’ve been getting my nails done for years and I have never had a worst job done. Instead of soaking off my solar nails they litterally pulled them off with another tip of a nail. Hurt like hell. End result crap

I won’t go back … Very rushed sloppy job and ultimately didn’t do what I asked several times …

Pedi was very rushed! Mani was awesome … They did a great job. Just won’t have the army military guy do it…

Decided to try this place based on Unilocal reviews and was pleased! Got a gel manicure, she took her time, did a great job! Very clean and nice place :)

My wife loves this place! she just started going here and says she has only had Lucy give her both a pedicure and a manicure, she is very satisfied with her work. Thank you very much Lucy!

This nail place beats other salons I’ve been to in Scottsdale for price, friendliness, cleanliness and overall satisfaction. I had a special occasion that I needed to get ready for, and I had an appointment at another place, but I ended up canceling because they took me here on a walk-​in and their prices were much better too. The nail tech that does acrylics really knows what he is doing. He’s done french tips for me, talons, nail art, basically I just show him a picture and he recreates it perfectly.
When I was taking care of my great grandmother (98 years old), I brought her to this salon. They were the only place that treated her nicely, didn’t seem annoyed by the fact she was there (she could get antsy), didn’t make rude comments about her. After her manicure she was so happy, she said it was her first time getting a manicure (which it actually wasn’t) & that it was very pleasant and relaxing.
I’ve gone back so many times that I’ve used a few punch cards. Gotta love that extra $ 5 off!

After reading the reviews for express nails, I was super excited to get my nails done, but unfortunately I didn’t have as great of an experience. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was just a fluke day, but I must say I am a little disappointed. I got the $ 30 pedicure. I arrived at my scheduled appointment time and waited 20 – 30 minutes, which since I was in a time crunch made it stressful. I was treated with lots of respect and they were very friendly, which was great! The callus remover part didn’t do as well as I have gotten at other salons, and the technician cut my toenail lopsided, which is very noticeable.
I will probably return to see if it was just a fluke and if they do a better job, but as far as my experience today, I felt like I got a $ 10 pedicure… definitely not my money’s worth.

Every time I go here, I leave over satisfied. The staff is nice, friendly, and professional. They don’t scream and talk to each other in different languages while you’re getting your nails done like the staff at some other places do (I don’t mean to be rude by saying that, but come on, ladies. We all know it’s not what we want to hear when we’re trying to relax.)
The area is exceptionally clean, and they have tons of colors to choose from. Generally, I get gel polish on my fingers and toes, and it lasts me about 2 weeks on my hands and 3 – 4 weeks on my feet while looking immaculate– the longest I’ve had out of anywhere else that does my gels. Occasionally I’ll get acrylics laid down because my nails naturally don’t grow long, and I have them paint on top in solid color. They are the best out of any other salon at doing this.
The prices are extremely reasonable. They charge me $ 35 for a gel pedi (amazing) and $ 25-​$ 30 (depending on the day) for a gel mani.

I have walked in here quite a few times after work for a last minute mani or pedi or both and they always get to me right away, even if they are busy. This last time I had Amy, she is new to this salon but she was a doll and very good pedicurist. She even painted an adorable snowflake on my big toe for the holidays! Clean salon, great service, reasonable prices and massaging chairs… that’s all I need :)

Wow, considering this is scottsdale, the price for the pedi I got ($ 20) is pretty darn good. Nothing super fancy which is fine for me since my priority is that you do a good job. They did just that. Quick to get in.
I like my nails cut short and the girl did just that without questioning me like the last couple places I’ve been to and paid much more.
One small detail that I’ve never noticed at other places is that the mani stations have a hook on the side for customers to hang their purse on.
Place is clean. People nice. I’d say this is a good find esp for the price. If you get mailers, there’s a coupon for a pedi for $ 18.99. Even better!

I found this little nail shop while out and about in north Scottsdale one weekend. It’s a fairly small shop but I’ve always been able to get a chair as soon as I chose a color. They have a better color selection than the other nail salon I go to in north Phoenix, so I’d have to say I like this one better.
They bring you water almost as soon as you sit down. They do a very nice job with paraffin, scrubs, hot stone massages for your legs, and of course the polish. They have TV and the chairs are massage chairs! This salon also does a much better job of getting the water temperature right, instead of how other shops nearly scald my toes off.
They do take credit cards, but they want tips in cash.

This salon is close to my job and is your standard nail place as far as décor goes.
No frills.
The customer service though, is pretty fantastic.
You’re greeted with a smile and the girls are all very attentive.
I walked in after work and there was no wait. Chair was clean and the tools were sealed in a bag.
The standard pedi had warmed lotion and a stone massage. Not sure about the stone thing. I don’t know the benefits have having a hot rock on my leg, but it the warm lotion was a nice touch.
Lee was chatty and friendly. she gave me a punch card for future use, which is also a nice touch.
Their hours are convenient too, open until 7pm.
It’s a great option for me when I need to go somewhere near work versus my usual spot.

Place is decent, staff is very friendly and has this «can do» attitude. Good selection of nail colors and brands. A bottle water is offered. My pedicure was quick and nicely done. I asked the nail tech to remove my ingrown nail and she did. The price is right in this place too, they are lower than other nail salon places that I’ve been to, $ 20!
Couple of concerns I have though is the cleanliness of the equipment used. I saw the nail tech pick the nail trimmers and clipper from a basket. Was this sanitized? The emery board, was this sanitized? After I was finished, someone came after me and the nail tech ran the water on the basin that I used but I didn’t see her sanitized it??? If you are a germaphobe, this may be an issue…
Another concern is the constant chatter in their native language. There was a client who got so annoyed that she told them that it is rude to talk in another language if you are in the presence of a business establishment where English is the main language…
