Expo Salon

I absolutely love expo salon! I heard about it through a friend from work and decided to give it a try it had been a really long time since I had a mani/pedi so I went with my friend I was blown away!\r The service was amazing,customer service is top of the line and the price is absurdly cheap for what they provide. I recomended expo salon to several of my girlfriends and they were all very satisfied and we all make a girls day every couple of weeks to see the nice friendly faces of expo salon. Pros: friendly service,great price, well skilled staff, and great location more

I've live in and all around Austin for the better part of ten years and never have I been so satisfied with a salon. I've tried all types/grades of salons and I absolutly love Expo. Now I don't mind paying high prices if the work is worth it (and I've found rarely it is), but I am pleasantly surprised that the prices here are so low, quality of work so high, and the atmosphere somehow balances perfectly along warm, friendly, and professional. Their pampering mani/pedi special can't be beat! The place is very nicely decorated and a good amount of space. The employees are a joy to visit and seem to have a fairly close relationship with most of their clients. Although English seems to be their second language, I have never heard them talk amongst themselves in any language that was not understood by everyone in the room. I've always thought that was borderline rude to go on and on in a conversation that I (or the majority of the customers/guests) couldn't understand. I would highly recommend this place. I've had my nails done there (usually at least every other week now), as well as my hair cut and dyed and I couldn't be more satisfied. I'd drive across town to go here if I had to, but I'm lucky that they're so close to my office! Pros: staff, atmosphere, prices, quality, location more

My boyfriend recommended this place because he knows one of the owners so I checked it out. I have to say that I really loved the experience. I was so tired of paying inflated prices for menial work. They took their time and I felt and looked like a queen afterward. My boyfriend got his haircut too and thay spent like 45 minutes on him just doing a trim. I was very impressed and have told all my friends that they must go see Mickey. Pros: everything Cons: nada more

I dont know what people are complaining about but it sounds to me like upset competition getting blown out of the water. This place is awesome and the people there are very friendly. The prices are way affordable and I was totally satified with everything. Highly recommended. Pros: professional attitudes, low prices more

This was one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. The service was great, and the environment was very enjoyable. I got solar nails and they turned out terrifically, I will definitely be returning. The salon has character, and so do the people--especially mickey, who is a complete delight. I will definitely be returning to this salon. The prices are by far the best around too. I totally recommend this salon!!! Pros: cheap prices, great people, great workk more

Expo Salon, is the best salon that i've been to, in a long, time. the Salon is so clean, and the Employee's are the most nicest people i've seen, they work fast and the work comes out increadible. They have all sorts of Entertainment for everyone, They bring culture to the Salon, and they give out all sorts of food, and drinks, and their massages are increbable. I love Expo Salon, 5 Stars all the way, I come there every week, the prices are AMAZING! If they mess up, or your not happy with your nails, its FREE. Love It. Pros: Staff, Entertainment, Prices, Cleanest, Culture. Walkins, Time, Cons: Nothing, Everything is Perfect. more

I stopped by not too long ago to get a manicure and pedicure. The salon was about average size for a nail shop but what's bad is that such a small space they thought it would be a good idea to put in a bunch of hair equipment as well. I guess it wouldn't be that big a deal if it was structured properly but their setup is far from it. I got to smell all sorts of perming chemicals and hair being cut and blow-dried everywhere as I was getting my services. This is one time that I was glad they did a rush job because I could not wait to get out of there. Cons: very uncomfortable more

I needed a new set and this was the worst set I've ever gotten. They were so lumpy and uneven. The shape was completely off on 6 of the nails. Not only that they all started cracking two days later. On top of that they were getting mad at me for wanting to get it fixed. Will never go back. Cons: service, workmanship, price more

Let me tell you there's hundreds of nail salons around town and I've been to my fair share of them. This one is even more awkward than your run of the mill yell at you to pick a color and talking in another language in front of your face. This is where they pressure you to buy stuff once you navigate pass the clunky makeshift front desk with random pictures hanging EVERYWHERE over the walk way. Not only that they also do hair in the same space, very SMALL space at that so you get to get high while getting a mani/pedi. As if that wasn't good enough I was charged to repair a nail that they smudged putting sandals on me. Did you catch that?! They wanted me to paid for their screw up. Never again. Cons: EVERYTHING more

I know you get what you pay for and I understand that being just a random strip mall nail shop you can't expect too much. But boy was I disappointed, that has got to be the fastest mani/pedi I've ever gotten. I opted to get their full top of the time packaged and I kid you not I was in and out of there in 25 minutes! That's not a relaxing experience it was an episode that made me despondent. Absolutely below average. Pros: nothing Cons: price, service, employees, professionalism more

What a horrible experience. This is probably the worst mani/pedi I've ever gotten. They cut me on 4 of my toes and 3 of my fingers. I wasn't relaxed, I wasn't enjoying any of what I paid for, I should've gotten up and walked out but I stupid and didn't. Won't be coming back. Cons: Unqualified staff more

The place looked kinda bland on the outside and I had anything but a nice experience. In fact calling it an experience at all would be overkill. The girl at the front desk wasn't very welcoming and paid more attention to her web surfing at the makeshift counter than to talk to me. The arch at the entrance is COVERED in random pictures. I felt like I got a $10 service for a $50 ticket. Cons: service and setup more

My friend and I decided to get our hair done and then a pedicure, a good slow relaxing day to do so, but our visit to Expo wasn't all that great and relaxing. We have been shopping around different salons looking for a good hair and nails place, but this definitely won't be our final pick. My hair doesn't look too bad, definitely below average, but my friends hair looks awful. Her hair is uneven and the highlights look like they were done by a caveman. Our pedis were also below average. The ""delux pedicure"" is not worth the price. A stone massage and hot towel wrap sounded great to relax with, but the actual service was not relaxing. They really need to either train their employees better, or just get rid of the whole idea completely. I have been to a number of salons, and this experience wasn't close to average compared to others. more

The location isn't bad, but the salon isn't the cleanest. I have to say that the services were right about average, not anything better than I have had at any other nail salon. The staff were hard to understand, but they were at least somewhat friendly. This wasn't really all that surprising for the average strip mall nail shop. more

I cannot believe how bad of a job they did on my nails. The place looked decent from the outside, but the inside of the salon is another story. The service reflects the look and feel of the salon - pitiful. The prices are really cheap, which should be a huge beacon of light on the fact that you are going to get a poor job. I thought that it would be a good idea to get my nails done one day, since it has been so long, but boy was I wrong. I should have done some research before trying them out. I did learn one lesson from this nail salon, definitely do your research or you are going to pay for it later. Cons: poor staff, poor service, and poor quality more

I have driven by the salon a number of times on my way to and from work, and so one afternoon I decided to stop by and get a mani/pedi. First of all the place was trashy and very cluttered. The lady that worked on my nails was not at all friendly and completely rude when I tried to talk to her. On top of that, I accidently smudged one nail, and they totally wanted to charge me extra to fix it. I dont plan on every going back there. Pros: really cheap Cons: rude staff, cluttered, small area more

I've always had solar nails for as long as I can remember. I did take my recent set off for a couple weeks to let my nail beds rest and decided to get back into it. Since I work for the state I was really close by and decided to try after work one day. And that was a mistake to say in the very least. The nail tech that did it barely understand what I said when I told them that I wanted to get a solar set - how simple is that?! Not only that I think that I got a cut on almost every single finger because my hands were throbbing after leaving there and into the next day. Definitely not recommended. Cons: don't speak english, not very skilled more

I got a coupon and thought I would try it out since I was in the area and I must say that this is even below average than what you would expect in a strip mall. First off it was soooo hard to find off on the side tucked in the corner. They have both hair service and nail services but the space isn't very well ventilated so I got a nose full of perming chemical smells the entire time I was getting my pedicure. I don't understand why they even send out a coupon because their prices are already dirt cheap so I was also not very comfortable with the other ""clients"" that were in there hootin' and hollerin' when I was attempting to relax. I won't be coming back here. Pros: dirt cheap pricing Cons: everything else more

I work close by so thought I would try it out during lunch one day and I have to say that I was really disappointed. Not only did I not understand anything that the guy was saying but my new set came out not so great. Three of my nails actually cracked the next day so I thought I would give it a shot to see if they could do something about it but unfortunately no, they wanted to charge me full price to fix them even though I had just gotten them done the day before. Pros: location Cons: customer service more
