I only trust this place to get my weekly haircut. Paul and the whole staff are so friendly and accomodating. My girlfriend gets her nails done every other week and she is impressed how thorough the students are. They make great relationships with their customers and take pride in what they do. Also, extremely affordable! Go Expo!!

Only 2 stars because I don't want to punish the student and it's not the students fault she was POORLY trained otherwise I'd say ONE star.
I was cut 3 times during my pedicure and she kept putting this blue liquid on it in hopes of stopping the bleeding. This all happened because she forgot an important step... Cuticle softener! Ouch. She was pushing my poor cuticles way down to the point of pain and THEN cut me while trying to "clean it up" . After many successful attempts to stop the bleeding (yes, it was cut that badly) she said "wow, you must have really sensitive

I got my hair cut and dyed from the owners, Paul and Phuong. I showed them a picture of what I exactly wanted and got it! My hair went from dead black hair to a beautiful brown/blonde balayage! I can't even express how much I love my new hair. I also enjoyed how they gave me hair tips! On top of that, they had awesome costumer service. Everyone was kind and welcoming! Sadly, I'm not from the Seattle area but I will definitely be back! :) Thank you Paul and Phuong!!! :)

Got a student french mani here for prom for $9. Not bad for 9 dollars, though one person worked on my left hand and another person worked on my right hand. The person who did my left hand definitely did a better job, so I'd say if you're to come here, make sure you ask for the young Asian woman with glasses (forgot to ask for her name). The nails on my right hand have slight white streaks because the woman working on them didn't take take off the white nail polish well enough. My nails also aren't completely smooth. The professional worked on my right hand too (so three people

Super friendly staff and I got a decent pedicure. It took longer since the work is done by students. The nail polish selection is pretty dismal- cheap brands and not a lot of colors to choose from. Also for a student pedicure $25 is not really any cheaper than other places that are faster with better polish. I might go back just because they were so nice and in my neighborhood, but Princess Nails is still my favorite pedi in Seattle.

I live just a few blocks away and have passed many times on the way to the grocery store. I had the day off work and wanted my nails cleaned up for an event. I walked over and had a delightful experience! The woman who gave my manicure was incredibly professional and great to chat with. My nail shape looks great and the paint job was nice considering I'm pretty good at chipping or smudging my nails almost immediately. I couldn't believe when she told me is was $6. I tipped that as well and don't think I'll ever paint my own nails again. I am looking forward to continuing to

After moving to Seattle this year I decided I wanted a drastic hip, fun change to my old college hairstyle. I went to a swanky downtown salon (3 times) and spent almost $300, only to walk away with an orange mom bob. After a month of relentless whining and lots of hats, a friend from work mentioned he was in hair school at Expo Beauty Institute. He sent me a ton of hairstyles and colors trying to pinpoint exactly what it was I wanted. We found a picture of the perfect haircut and color and set off to make it happen.

Welp, I finally ound a go-to manipedi place- too bad it's in Seattle!
The gals here are all students of the beauty school, but I saw no difference in my manipedi versus 'full fledged salons'. They were more attentive, sweet, and talkative than any other artists I've dealt with anywhere, and at a fraction of the price. $15 for a manipedi? Yes, please!
My friend got her eyebrows waxed- that was $6 and they did a nice job.
I'll stop by anytime I'm in town.

Found this little gem entirely by accident - being peeved at I5 south brake lights, I escaped up the hill....glancing at my rearview mirror I spotted a Yeti. Wait, that's me. Find wax on/off now.
I looked up while on Beacon and there was Expo behind B of A.
I sauntered into a hive of busy people buffing, cutting and painting...it took a minute to get noticed.
But when that magic moment happened, there was a genuine smile + polite gesture to wait on the pleather couch. I sat and enjoyed Sunset and within minutes I was on the paper covered tableau with a quiet student lulling me to relaxation

I had a pedicure here last week. The pedicure was good. Very inexpensive and the student technician did a great job. Ive recommended it to a few friends who are on a budget. Its not a fancy schmancy spa experience, but let me tell you, I wanted to fall asleep during my service, so they are A Ok in my book. I will probably go back soon.
