2025-08-31I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I got the Papi’s Package Pedicure. Nancy did a wonderful job. She spent over an hour for the full pedicure and spent a lot of time rubbing my legs and my feet! It felt great, as most other nail places barely spend time to do this. The owner approached us while we sat at the bar, she was very nice and personable, she gave us a tour of the Med Spa. The facility is luxurious and clean. We also ordered lunch and the food was really good! The cost of food and drinks are reasonable as well. I will definitely be back and requesting Nancy!

2025-07-10EXO Lounge in Edwardsville is the definition of a glow-up. After a devastating fire, this unique spot has risen from the ashes—stronger, more beautiful, and more fabulous than ever. It’s a one-of-a-kind combination of nail salon, medspa, bar, and restaurant that delivers on every front. ✨ Here’s the scoop: • The food? Absolutely delicious. • The drinks? Crafted to perfection. • The atmosphere? Chic, welcoming, and totally Instagram-worthy. • The service? Warm, attentive, and top-notch. I went for pedicures and cocktails and left feeling pampered, relaxed, and already planning my next visit. Every detail—from the luxe setting to the personalized service—made it feel like a VIP experience. A huge shoutout to owner Gina Gamblin, who clearly poured her heart into rebuilding this space into something truly special. If you haven’t been to the new EXO yet, do yourself a favor and go. Whether you’re there for a spa day, a great meal, or a night out with friends, it’s an absolute gem. ✨ Follow me for more local hotspots, self-care inspo, and STL-area favorites! #TheSassySaint #EXOLounge #SupportLocal #EdwardsvilleEats #PamperTime #ChicVibes #RelaxAndSip #MedspaGoals #NailSpaVibes #CocktailAndPedicure

2025-08-05I truly enjoy this place and my nail tech, Tracy. I’ve been going to her for 4 years and love her so much that I followed her from her old shop to this new location here at Exo. The shop is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is extremely friendly. Tracy is very knowledgeable when it comes to anything nails. She never fails to impress me with her work. I will continue to be a loyal customer to Tracy and Exo.
