Nail salon

😠 Not honest about the pricing and I'm going to give an honest review. This was my second visit to this salon. I got my full set of nails there so I went back in for a fill in. I had acrylic nails and gel color and no broken nails to repair. I reviewed the price sheet which says $20+ for a fill in.... People often mention nails, polish, fill, time, nail, Ashley,

    Not honest about the pricing and I'm going to give an honest review. This was my second visit to this salon. I got my full set of nails there so I went back in for a fill in. I had acrylic nails and gel color and no broken nails to repair. I reviewed the price sheet which says $20+ for a fill in. I was charged $45 for my fill in. I was aware that gel polish is an extra $10 and I was expecting to pay at least $30. I was charged an additional $15. I asked why it was $45 and she gave me so many reasons that did not add. Rather than make a scene at the register, I just paid it AND I still tipped, but I will not return to an establishment that tries to get over on customers. I'm sure that because they are in the mall, they get plenty of walk in clients, so they may feel that they don't need to rely on repeat customer business. Just be honest and not take advantage of your customers. Update: After 1 week and being over charged my nail polish is peeling.

    Ashley is my girl!!! She knows exactly how to make me feel happy. I’m very articulate and selective with my fingers. I just let her know what I need and she executed it perfectly!! No matter where I go, I return to my girl, Ashley! You are so patient with me and I am very thankful. You did it again!!!

    Do not go here - trust me. I've been getting my nails done (acrylics with gel polish) for 4 years religiously. I go every 2-3 weeks. I am very well-versed in what a proper fill includes. 1. The nail technician started off with using a different head to her buffer than I am used to. I found this strange. In the past 4 years that I've been getting my nails done I haven't had someone take off my polish with this tip. I found it strange but I was willing to be trustworthy as she continued. 2. I didn't pay too much attention to the rest of her buffing process - nothing was burning so I decided not to get too worried. When she started with the powder acrylic I noticed she had a strange technique for her fill. She seemed to be using less powder and more liquid. Her coats of acrylic were extremely thin. At one point, she dipped in liquid, got some powder on her brush, brushed it on slightly, dipped the brush back in liquid, and then continued to basically just brush liquid onto my nail. The amount of powder she used was not sufficient to cover my entire nail. At other places - even when getting a fill - they seemed to use more powder. 3. After she had finished with the thinnest coats of acrylic I have ever received it was on to the polish. I selected a deep mauve color - darker. She ended up putting on 3 full coats of the deep mauve and a clear coat on top of that as well. Additionally, she never put polish on the top rims of my nails. In between coats she put my hands in the typical gel manicure light but she frequently forgot to press the button a second time for me when the light would go out. I should also mention that the entire time she was applying gel polish to my nails, she left a mini fan pointed at them which I found odd and I was worried that would create bubbles. 4. After applying the rest of the polish she did some final shaping. By this time in the process I had been in the chair maybe 45 minutes and I also was starting to notice people looking over and watching her and one lady who actually cam over and watched over this woman's shoulders - this was a clue to me that perhaps this was the woman's first time applying a fill or gel color......extremely obnoxious that they even let her touch my nails. As she began the final shaping she turned my square-shaped nails into rounded off squared nails or some weird shape I've never had before - she did not ask me before doing this. It seemed to me that she just kept filing my nails down because she couldn't get the shape right....I could've gotten a better shape myself. Do not ever go here for anything other than a simple pedicure. This place was a joke. Less than a week later and three of my nails have chipped almost completely off. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    This was my first time visiting this nail salon. We just moved into the area and they were recommended by a family member. Called this morning and got an appointment today. They were very friendly and professional. I had Ashley do my pedicure and gel manicure…she was amazing!! She was very thorough and did an awesome job. This is the best mani/pedi I’ve ever had. I will definitely be coming back.

    The ladies always take their time to do beautiful work. They will advise you as well if you have questions and take the time to do exactly what you have in mind or if you bring pictures of what you want. They are detailed and super sweet! I have been going there for two years and now bring friends and family.

    I'm new to Avalon, but not new to Tammy. She's been doing my nails for years! I love how she makes them look so natural. I've always done gel nails but somewhat recently switched to dip and have been really happy with how well they hold up, even with a job that has me using my hands so much. So glad I listened to Tammy's encouragement! She does a wonderful job and knows when I want to chat and then recognizes the days when I just want to be quiet. Hands down great experience with Tammy!
