Expectation Nails & Spa

This nail shop is very clean, the employees are very nice. I got the deluxe pedicure and a manicure and the price was reasonable. Would definitely return to this nail shop again

I’ve been here a couple of times and they always mess up and do sloppy work. The last time I went in to go get a full set of French tip nails and they ended up gluing regular nails on I had to repeat my self and they ended up yanking the glued nails! Horrible service they deserved no tip and never went back!

Besides this place being overly expensive, the workers are rude, don’t converse, and she was in a rush and talking to someone while doing my pedicure so she was distracted and hurting me. I figured she was removing an ingrown nail and just held on tight and took the pain but it hurt all day and this morning I saw its infected and has puss.

first off let me start off by saying I am never one to talk bad about a place or write anything bad about any place that I’ve ever been to but I must say I had the worst experience at the nail salon I went in to get a pedi the man who did my pedicure was very rude then on top of that broke my anklet tried to tie it back into a knot which was ridiculous I noticed that ask him did he just break my anklet he said oh yeah it just broke I said can I please have it not once did he apologize for it he just act like nothing had happened as if he did nothing wrong which made me really mad, then also my daughter was getting a pedi they sat in the chair I sat across the way with my husband I look over at her she’s five years old I said how’s the water baby is it fun to put your feet in there she’s looked really sad and said I didn’t get any water Mommy I looked at the lady and said excuse me I asked you if she can get a pedi with the water the ladies excuse was Oh I thought you just wanted a color change and a pedi with water would have been $ 12 I said that is not a problem money is not an issue if my daughter wanted to experience that then I wouldn’t have mind paying for it you should have told me ahead of time before polishing her nails and now the lady also did not apologize for doing that. I would not recommend this place to anyone the service is horrible and they are just plain out rude go anywhere else besides this place you might think it looks nice on the inside like I did but trust me the people there are disgusting people but being the nice sweet person that I am I still left a tip for them because my mother raised me better than that.
that’s all I have to say thank you…

2 days after my GEL nails were already peeling…
it’s been 11 days and they are already completely peeled off.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

When luxury nails and spa is closed on Sunday’s but you’ve got an emergency I’d definitely recommend this place

Expectations is exactly what my daughter was looking for when it comes to a nail salon, and this places deliver. She was exited with the results. After going to a salon at Tyler mall that messed up her nails before her winter formal. We kept on searching for a better salon and this is it. She says she will be defenetly coming back. Thanks KEN…

I’ve been here a few times before and it’s hit or miss, but I won’t be coming back. It’s not my usual place but I live just up the street so I come here when I’m feeling lazy or in a hurry. I wanted a gel mani with a simple triangle design against the nail bed. He did one hand and it was really bad– like uneven, wobbly lines, not centered, and tiny even after I asked for them to be bigger, AND they didn’t even come to clean points, they were weirdly rounded… and then he was super rude when I said I didn’t like it, that I would just take them plain. Like, he made several rude comments, rushed me out, and didn’t even say anything. It was so awkward. Sorry you can’t draw a triangle, I’ll go elsewhere from now on.

Love the work they do, and great prices. Usually busy, but always accommodating. If you tell them what you like or show a picture, they nail it! I always leave here happy!

I love this place… Once you find the right person that does good work you stick with it. I love the way Lily does my nails. I get lots of compliments on job she does. Place is clean and never had issues. They are very nice

I got a full set and gel color. I was upset because the result was not what I wanted. They were too square and were so thick they practically looked like talons! I agreed to come back the next day to get them fixed. I wish I knew her name (because I haven’t had a bad experience besides her) but she «fixed» them. She had to file down my nails and repaint them anyway but because I chose a different gel color she still charged me!!! I payed a total of $ 65!!!
And guess what they started to chip within the next days!!! Not only that but they started breaking in half with my real nail!!! I am livid! I’m sorry but if you pay that much your nails should be perfect!!!

This place is great! Lily is the best nail tech. They have a $ 20.00 Mani/​pedi special Mon-​Wed. Definitely recommend them.

I’ve been here 2 times for std mani/​pedi. Prices are great but it’s not worth it if your manicure doesn’t even last a day!
They rushed through my manicure –applying 4 gloppy coats in 5 min. Painted over the cuticles on quite a few nails and even had paint on the skin around a few of my nails. If I wanted a crappy paint job, I could have done itself.
It’s been 3 days now since my manicure and I only have ²⁄₁₀ nails that aren’t horribly chipped.
So far my toes are holding up but they should last longer anyway.
Overall I know there are better places out there. Do NOT recommend for std manicure. Will NOT last!

I got a gel manicure and a pedicure today. The gel manicure was poorly done. The guy who did it painted my nails all the way to the cuticles. This makes them peel easier. Despite this, it was sloppy. So I don’t really mind if it peels off sooner to be honest. I also had to ask for an additional coat of nail polish because you could see through the polish. On the other hand, my pedicure was nicely done. The woman who did it was very sweet and thorough with removing my ingrown toenails. The owner/​boss woman was extremely disrespectful to my friend when she asked to get an additional coat. She yelled at her saying it would peel off and not to come back complaining. That lady’s luckily she wasn’t talking to me like that because I would have made a scene. It’s a shame the gel manicures for both me and my friend were so bad. Because the pedicures were nicely done. Not coming back! TIP: TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT.
UPDATE: I just got back from the hospital due to an extremely painful, swollen, and red big toe. I’m limping when I walk. I was diagnosed with an infection and now have to take antibiotics. AVOID THIS PLACE! Worst experience at a nail salon in my entire life!!!

One of the worst salons I’ve entered. They don’t know how to do gel nail polish at all, you can see every coat they put on. When I confronted her about her and asked for another coat she just gave me attitude and told me they were gonna chip but I’d rather have them look nice for a day then not at all. Never coming back.

I have been going here for about 2 years and the service is always good. I see Lina regularly and she is great at removing cuticles to prevent ingrown toe nails. Clean salon, and they are busy a lot of the time due to their popularity, but efficient at the same time. Great prices too. :)

I had an appointment at 130 today and I get there and they are busy the lady tells me to wait 20 minutes when I had a 130 appointment I waited the 20 minutes because I was desperate and was in a hurry well 20 minutes went by and she still have like about another 15 minutes worth of work to do ridiculous and a waste of time I would not come here again this place is not organized at all save your money and go somewhere else

I’ve been here twice and both times I’ve felt rushed and the outcome has been pretty sloppy. This last time was the last straw. I will post a photo of the sloppy work.

I usually go to a different nail salon, but unfortunately my usual place is closed on Monday’s & I was in desperate need of a pedicure. I just walked in around 4pm hoping they weren’t too expensive, & their prices seemed reasonable to me. $ 15 for their basic & $ 25 for their deluxe. I chose the deluxe & Tom assisted me. He didn’t rush & he took his time with me. By the far, the best pedicure I’ve ever had. Massaged my feet & calves thoroughly & made sure to get rid of all the calluses. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. 5 stars for pedicures by Tom. :)
TIP: They accept debit/​credit but you cannot add a tip to your transaction, you must tip in cash.

I guess you could say I’m pretty picky about nail salons… And I’ve tried almost everyone in riverside and left with horrible nails and a horrible experience at all of them /​: anyways… I decided to try «Expectation Nails» and left very pleased. My nails turned out amazing! I got acrylics with gel polish! They look great:) I was in an out fast but I didn’t feel rushed. I gave them a 4 because I feel there customer service could have been better, but it wasn’t terrible.
