this was the worst nail shop ever! the nails looked nothing like the picture and the lady was rude and kept telling me to get off my phone when my nails were already dry. she also was aggressive and was not sanitary it was so disgusting they were chunky and weird so i had her clip them off and she was rude about it. They can not do any designs! like what even is this? The lady was rude and there was only three workers there. Please go somewhere else. My hands felt itchy after I left because it's so unsanitary and gross. The lady also kept interrupting me and my grandma's conversation by saying. "i want u to be happy with ur nails" and making excuses when I told her that they were so chunky, she said "they will be thin and fall off" she also was trying to charge me $70 for something they didn't even look anything like the picture. She also put two different flowers on my nails, and they were flimsy and falling off as soon as she put them on. I showed her a picture and she said she could do everything on there. Then she gets to the hombre part that I wanted and then says "i can't do it" then she proceeded to put the pointer nail design on the pinky the pinky nail design on the pointer ect it was just a terrible experience and I would never go back there. She also couldn't even soak my nails off. She just cut it off very rudely and hurt my fingers. it didn't even apologize for the terrible work she did no wonder There was barely any customers in there. They couldn't even do a basic hombre when they literally had a stand of ombre nails promoting them as if they could do it. Also, her adding just the base took over an hour and she dipped my nails inside of the powder instead of using a brush to make them even and it was so rough with the file and cut my nails and didn't even clean my cuticles. She also was making me try and use a phone stand instead of just having me hold my phone and was trying to press other pictures in my phone!! Go anywhere else other than this I promise you you will save yourself so much time and money
Horrible nail dipping service by the lady that runs this place. She burnt my skin 3x and cut one cuticle then she didn't even clip my nails. I should have listened to my instincts and walked out. I screamed at the first time she burned me with her drill. NEVER again.... there are so many much better nail salons
If you haven't visited here recently, go, they have updated their salon and it looks really nice. I have been going here for years and I've always had an excellent experience. The husband and wife owners are friendly. They offer gel and regular nail polish. I think they may have more services like eyebrows but not positive I have only gone for a pedicure and manicure.
The service and friendly attitudes was great - they were accommodating to my comfort level. The quality could be better though. I walked in today being the only customer there and the much older lady (granny age) did an amazing job on my basic pedicure $30.00 plus add the gel French tip $15.00 = $45.00 The younger lady (mom age) was the one I spoke to over the phone before I showed up and at the front when I walked in. Before she did my nails, she said she would give me a discount.. She did acrylic French tip with gel nails = $45.00 While she was doing my nails, she spoke to granny a lot and at some point the tool hurt one of my fingers but that I didn't mind as she was aware and understood the situation so was gentler for the remainder of time she did my nails. But she talked as fast as she was working on my nails. Almost like she didn't pay attention to closer details. I am sad and disappointed that the acrylic French tip with gel nails was done so quickly and some of the nails seem like they are very uneven. Couple of the nails have bubbles in it that I can see. And the way it became shaped it just doesn't even look right. I don't think I will come back here again, but do appreciate granny and their time. I paid $100.00 total but feel like it should have been 70 total.
Wish I could give a 0 star review, horrible experience for some BASIC work. Asked for a manicure and the lady did theM in 10 MINUTES. Didn't cut cuticles left paint all on my hands. On top of being unprofessional. She would start to paint my nails get up go outside and talk in the phone. Would come back in do a little more work then get back up to go outside. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.
My daughter got her nails done for the first time. She literally had a picture and show them what she wanted. They said they could and the product that came out was terrible. I cannot believe how sloppy and messy they did her nails. It was horrible. She had a horrible experience, and I will never go back there again.
So last night I got my nails done by here and let me tell you. My experience with this place was so upsetting. I went in and they told me ok sit here and he'll do your nails, This older gentleman. I said ok so I took out my phone and showed him what I want. I said French tip but not white. Can I please have Royal blue. He said yes ok yes I can do. So he does my nails and starts to put this pink acrylic on. I go wait what's that? Cause it was making my nails pink. I go no I want it clear. First off he doesn't even ask if I want clear or pink just assumes and put it on my nails. He said oh it's natural look ok and continues with the other fingers. I said no I want it clear, keeps going says yes it will be ok. Natural look ok. I'm like hmmmm starting to get upset. Then he's done putting the pink acrylic on and pulls out this two blues. Now I'm like wait I don't think that's not nail polish?!?! He said yes. So he put this what looks like paint for a shirt and puts it in this little machine and starts spraying my fingers. I go uhhhh it's not right he keeps going and says yes it'll be when I'm done. So he continues and at the end tells me go wash my hands and I come back thinking he's gonna do something else to make it what I ask for and nope. He's done. I was so mad, I didn't even wanna sit and wait for my friend to finish hers. I just asked her for the keys and sat in car to calm down cause at this point I was livid. Long story short, do not go to this man in this place he clearly doesn't know what he's doing. I mean who spray paints nails now? It's not even nail polish it was paint you put on a shirt with the paint gun and all. And the shit didn't even wash off my fingers took forever to get that paint off my fingers. Yeah save your $ and don't go to him wait for the other lady's cause clearly he needs new job. Smh still upset but lesson learned. I definitely learned from this lesson. I don't even wanna give them a star but you have to in order to post so 1 star it is.
DO NOT COME HERE. Okay. I honestly HATE having to get my feet done by people...but I love my toes being done because everyone likes groomed toes.... So, I happen to be in the area and my bestfriend would come here when she used to love in North Highlands, so I came here and I would NOT reccomend this place. Ive never gotten such a bad gel pedi. First off, while getting my toes filed by a rough ass filer, she kept scraping my cuticle bed and my reflexes kept making me jerk my feet and she'd look at me like I was crazy because she didnt do anything wrong. Fast forward to my all white gel pedi...........it looked like my 7 year old daughter did my damn toes and painted all over my skin. Mind you, she was scraping the shit out of my toes trying to get the white off my skin around my toes......she knew she did a shit job because she kept looking back at my toes while she was doing my basic clear nail polish mani...but she still didnt care to ask if I was satisfied because it was clearly obvious...it was a shitty fucking job. So then I told her I just wanted it off and just a clear color. She took her damn drill and was rough as hell using her thumb nail to dig into my toe while she was drilling the white off my toes....then she put an uneven ass clear coat on it and just walked away....also, my right toe was stinging and she kept saying she didnt cut me... I know what the fuck I feel...and I felt my toe was stinging AND it wasn't like that before I walked in there. I'm sure they knew I wasn't happy because the guy was standing there as if I was just going to walk out and the other lady that did my daughter's pedi ran up to the register to ring me up..they still had the audacity to charge me for a basic pedicure. $49 for my basic mani/pedi ($12/$20) and my 7 year olds pedi ($17) I'm including photos. I left my pinky toe out on purpose bc yall dont need to see that side of me (lol, yes humor calms me) but nonetheless, this is unacceptable. I'm disputing this charge. It was pretty pathetic service.
Came here for a deluxe pedicure (45 min package) which includes 10 min massage. I came in and they were really slow. i was excited because I thought for sure they would take extra care of me. False! I believe it was the owner who did my nails. She barely cleaned my nails, the massage was less than 5 min. She kept getting up and answering calls and helping a customer buy a gift card she was done within 35 min. Plus she did a horrible job.

I hadn't noticed I actually been here 3 years ago so I am updating review! My service was absolutely terrible! The lady rushed through my set. She sits at the first desk. I am growing my natural nails and she was extremely rough. I asked if she had something else to do because she was slapping the polish on so fast. They began chipping the following day. I returned for a "redo" which she agreed to. She was clearly upset and said she told me and this is what I get since it's the color I wanted. I left the shop after she insulted my nails calling them lumpy over and over and, l I cant have a regular gel set because my nails just grow lumpy. I left and got a beautiful gel set at La Belle nails right across the parking lot they were very kind and accommodating after the terrible service I received at Ava nails 3yrs ago *The lady rushed through my entire over priced manicure... products are cheap and I paid 40 for a gel manicure that lasts 3 days.. Will not go back save your money* French tip set is from 3yrs ago read more

This place is absolutely horrible. The water was way too hot and after telling her so, the lady just had us sit there until the water cooled rather than putting cool water in the foot bath. They also cut my mother's cuticle and caused her to bleed and sanded her heel so hard that her heel bled. This place is a disgrace. Will not be coming back! read more

Vivian is amazing! I will not get my nails done by anyone else. She is so detailed and gentile, I love my nails every time! I love the "coffin" look but I have a newborn so I cant have real long nails. Vivian was able to achieve the look I wanted while still keeping my nails a reasonable length! I am a customer for life. :) read more

This place is hit or miss the person who did my nails did a good job but the lady who did my toes rushed and I'm not pleased with it. Paying $65 for a rushed gel on nails and toes when there IS NOT a line out the door is silly, I should get a decent paint job at least. I'm not one to complain but I am in the hair industry and I've been trained to do nails and my toe year old could've done a better job. So annoyed. I don't think I'll be returning. Very unfortunate because it's around the corner from my house and convenient distance wise for me. read more

Me and my husband decided last minute to get pedicures and I decided to get a full set. They were nice enough to fit us in and the overall experience was pleasant. The shop was clean and on an over 100° day I was so grateful the a/c was on high making it very comfortable. All the techs were nice enough. Very happy with how my nails came out. read more

I went to AVA nails and spa on 9/13/20 and I've never had someone do such a poor job on my nails. I asked for medium length white nails and she started and didn't even cut my finger nails & barely removed my black nail polish I had on previously and was extremely rough and rude. I'm 16 I don't think she took me seriously but everyone's money is the same and I should have got a good service just like anyone else. This is how I left the salon, with acrylic & nail polish on my actual fingers! Ridiculous if I could rate a 0 start I would! Never going back read more

It really pains me to leave this review because I literally have been going here for years..years! Only because one lady that works here Len. My mom and I always fight for her because I know she does an amazing job. Well I took my mom last Friday as a belated Mother's Day gift and she got Len and I got the owner. Biggest mistake of my life! Not only did she make my toes bleed but it was a half ass job with paint missing from my toes in areas that you can clearly see and the diamonds she put on fell off the day after. Had to work the whole week so couldn't come back til today a whole week later. My gel pedicures last me 3-4 weeks on average and the diamonds I always get on my big toes always last as well. And so I came in to see if she could fix it. I waited 30mins for her to see me and she didn't even put my feet in water and literally scrapped all the polish off with rotary tool and she got my skin again and they were still sensitive to when she did it last week. No blood this time. She was barely done with one of my feet and more clients came in and she left me there for the guy to finish me. I said there's some paint missing from some of my toes and that the get paint is cracking. He lathered on more paint and then didn't even ask me if I wanted a flower he just started putting a design and a sticker I have no clue what it even is. Anyway, I love Len and I really hope they don't lose her cause she's really the only person that's going to keep this place going. read more

The only reason I came to this nail place was because someone from Antelope community wrote a good review. Kim did my nails with 6 pm appt. Very disappointed. Rude. No conversation made other than her speaking her language with her employees. Cut me in two fingers, started bleeding, in one of the pictures clearly see my cut :( when I told her and she saw blood, no apologyShe just grabbed my napkin with blood and Threw it away. Paid $50 for this set. First and last time here. KIM, you need to give better customer service and I could tell that I was your last customer and did my nails fast and carelessly, hurting me in two fingers and when I told you that you cut me, you responded because you wanted to make my acrylic nail thin like picture. No apologies given and this is why you didn't get a tip from me. I don't recommend you. read more

I was in Antelope visiting the parentals and stopped at La Belle to get my nails and toes done but they said 45 min. Noone has time for that... So I went across the parking lot and found this gem. They got down on my pedi and even gave me ice tea when I was waiting. So here I am in a new place, ice tea in hand, in a massage chair getting my nails and toes done at the SAME TIME. I am not going to lie, I felt like a queen :). It wasn't even my Bday!!!! Talk about an amazing experience not to mention the PRICE WAS HALF as LA Belle. Do me a favor, don't wait and walk across the parking lot to relax and enjoy a wonderful day of pamper you deserve. read more
