    A nail salon interior featuring a large, ornate crystal chandelier, clients seated in black chairs, and a technician working on a client while wearing a face mask.

    After swearing off this place previously, I went back because of a 20% off text for my birthday. The front desk, on the phone as well as in person, doesn't seem very friendly. The no-chip manicure I received was mediocre and started about 20 minutes after my appointment time. The "bar" chairs, while cute, are not very comfortable. Others seem to enjoy Ava nail bar, but so far I haven't had a great experience unfortunately.

    Loved it! It was $70 for a gel x set. Priced reasonably, also if you pay in cash you get a discount, so keep in mind. Very nice ambience inside. Booked an appointment online and it was easy. Very happy and will go back! Leaving a review because I'm shocked how low the ratings are. I had a great experience

    What I asked for. - Close-up of manicured nails featuring intricate red, white, and gold floral designs on a neutral background.

    If you want bare minimum in 30 mins go for it and take your best shot there. A waste of $100 gel-x in my opinion. I also wasnt the only disappointed patron there.

    My daughter and I got our annual Christmas manicures. We picked Ava to try. It was a wonderful experience. Both of us love our nails.

    HORRIBLE QUALITY. MANICURE DIDNT LAST 24 HOURS. I recently moved to the area and needed a new nail place. A friend of mine recommended this Ava Nails. I was skeptical after all the poor reviews but it was recommended and I always like to try a place rather than base my decision on reviews alone. BIG mistake. This has been the worst manicure I've ever gotten. I got dip powder on natural nails. Within 3 hours of getting my nails done the dip cracked on one of my nails. A few hours after that it started to completely chip. I went back the next day and they nicely repaired the nail that chipped after verifying that I indeed got them done there. 24 hours after getting that nail fixed I now have four more nails that have chipped. I called and asked for them to redo the manicure however they stated they would only fix the nails that were chipped. If I wanted to have the nails redone they would still charge me, however it would be at a reduced rate. A discounted rate?! I already paid full price plus a tip for a manicure that didn't even last a day! Three days after getting my nails done, 50% of them have chipped. I will have been at this nail salon 3 days in a row getting things repaired after a shitty manicure. Do not go here. This place does a terrible job. If I could give this place zero stars I would.

    After another salon fixed

    I'll never go here again. Came for a pedi, the girl was not pleasant at all. No smile, had an attitude, like she did not want to be there. Seemed to get mad when I asked for reg polish over no chip. Only did ONE coat of yellow paint. Anyone that knows anything about polish should know that yellow is a color that usually requires more coats that others. Also, I chose a neon yellow and the color she used was closer to mustard. Looked completely sheer. I did not feel like arguing as she handed my my bill without a thank you or saying a word. I called later that day and spoke to the manager JC who apologized and told me I could come in anytime for a polish change. Well, I went in on a Sunday at 4:30 (they close at 5) and they told me no one was available for me. Also, asked me if I can come back THURSDAY when I asked if I needed to make an appt. I will never go back. Note, I am currently at another nail shop (Sugar nails) and not only are they doing the correct shade of nail, but put white polish under it WITHOUT ME EVEN HAVING TO TELL THEM. I should have never tried Ava, waste of my money and time.

    I had the most incredible experience at Ava nail. I have stopped getting pedicures as frequently because I enjoy doing them myself at home, but I recently needed a professional to do it because I don't want to cut myself with attempted callous removal. I booked an appointment at Ava and showed up early, expecting to wait because it was on me to be there prior to my appointment time. Right away they were able to service me and the pedicure was relaxing, efficient, and smelled delicious because of their scrubs and creams. The technician took his time and had all of his tools ready. He was careful at the polish application, making sure there was no skin that had polish on it. They gave me a discount and free cuticle oil, which was extremely generous. Also, I wanted to let my toes dry before driving home, so I sat at the front for a while before leaving. The young man at the front desk gave me a water bottle on his own while I waited for the polish to dry, such a thoughtful touch. The same young man also asked me a couple times how I was doing, how the service was, and was interacting with enthusiasm and professionalism throughout my time there. Best customer experience !

    Very nice decor & atmosphere. However, not really happy with the result. Too pushy (offering way too many extra services) too much talking (asking too many personal questions while I got there to enjoy myself) & not enough doing. I end up spending $60 on something that should have been done better. Lesson learned yet again. Will not come back. Trust Yelp reviews.

    The way I had wanted my nails done and how they came out.

    Rockstar Salon, owned and run by Rachel, is phenomenal. You cannot beat the quality you get with…read morecuts and colors, especially for the price. Everyone is always so kind and welcoming when I go in, and they will remember you the next time you come in, too. There is a Starbucks right there too if you need some extra self care before going in. I cannot recommend this salon enough to all my family and friends. I was referred here by a family member and am very particular with my hair, so I was nervous. I gave it a shot and have not gone anywhere else for years! I have sent many other friends in after me, all having good experiences. I am 30 and I will just not go anywhere else. Rachel and Rockstar salon = the BEST!!!

    I was having a car serviced right down on Irving Park Road and they said it would take a couple of…read morehours. I decided to call a nearby salon (Rockstar) and see if I could walk down and come in for a haircut. I called and the gal that answered the phone was super friendly and said I could come on down right then! Score! It was beautiful weather and just a couple of blocks away! Amber was available to cut my hair and we set right to work. She was very good at shampooing and so pleasant and easy to talk to! She did a great job getting rid of my very dry ends and blending and shaping my hair. After blow drying she said she would shape it a bit more. I am very pleased with how my haircut and styling turned out! Great job, Amber!!
