    The staff at Ava Nails are superb. Very professional and pay attention to detail. I have been going there every month for at least 3 years. I am highly recommending it.

    My finished Dip Manicure.  Love the color!

    My husband & I walked in around 4:30. He wanted a pedicure and I needed a Dip Fill. They took us right away. There was one other customer leaving. A man started my nails and a woman - Vicki finished it. The man was pleasant and interested in me. My husband and I were both very pleased with the quality of their work. The vibe was quiet as we ended up being the only customers there and we could not understand the multi-staff conversations. The decor was rather nondescript - in my opinion it could use some help.

    Full set with gel color

    I cannot believe all of the bad reviews on here... With everything going on with COVID-19 this is one of the nail salons that was open near me. I called and was greeted very pleasantly- they were able to accommodate my same day appointment for a full set and a pedicure. As soon as I walked in I was greeted pleasantly; I was instructed on the new hygiene requirements, asked to sign a form, and then asked to pick my color (was able to match my gel nails with my toes - love that!) I received the standard pedicure and added in the callus remover. Everything was great as she cut, shaped, and removed my cuticles as well as gave me a scented salt scrub. The state limits the time that you are in the salon to an hour, and she finished my pedicure and just about 30 min. I then switched to Angel for my nails, she asked me what I wanted, accommodated it exactly, and did a very nice job on my nails. I will be back and I would highly recommend this nail salon... They were very clean and I was watching all of the employees take all of the precautions required by the state.

    Just got my nails done here the day before my sisters wedding. We were originally going to precious nails but changed last minute due to their reviews. There's 3 of us total, we walked in and needed 2 manicures and 2 pedicures between us 3. Angel did my names and she's amazing! I'm from Pittsburgh pa and usually visit my sister a few times a year, I will be returning to this salon for sure!!!!!! Everyone is so nice that works here and they take care of everyone! Best nail salon in Nashua area!!!!!!

    Do not go here for acrylic. Went in with family to do mani-pedis and now I'm left with the worst manicure I've seen. My nails aren't even, have a huge glob of acrylic, and are loose. I asked for a shorter nail with a rounded shape, but ended up walking out with this after I was told that it would look bad. Super disappointed

    HORRIBLE! I came to see Angel one before and she was AMAZING and her work was AMAZING. Today she asked me to see the man that works at the salon, I never have an issue so I went. My nails are supposed to be COFFIN shape and they are ALL different sizes and HORRIBLE shape! Some are sooo crooked! I wouldve loved a refund back or 50% off next time WITH ANGEL BECAUSE THIS IS RIDICULOUS! $53 for this!?

    Save yourself time and money. My dip took 2 hours .. I asked for thin and square. After hand filing for hours I got chunky and round. I asked the owner to fix them from the man's disaster and she kept laughing at me. Told me to go to another salon to be happier. I don't understand how they have horrible nail techs. This photo is after 1 hour hand filing... and then it took another hour to try and "fix" them

    Dont bother looking at the price sheet especially if your kids are tall.

    Came here to get pedicure for my niece who is 12. The shop has a laminated price sheet showing a lesser rate for kids up to 12. The pedicure was decent but they charged her the adult rate. When my sister asked why her daughter was being charged more the response was 'she is tall'. When we asked, so it's a height or age? The tech called her manager over and we questioned him. He says, 'we don't do that price anymore'. We pointed out the sheet and he said, 'oh well we need to cut that up'. Wow! really?!! Not honoring the posted price is just poor customer service. I say why ever go back when there are other salons doing same kind of work.

    At first I thought it was just bad service at the cattle call... now I see it was a bad pedi, too.
    Karen J.

    Wow, has this place gone right down hill!!!! When I went here two years ago, it was nicely laid out, serene, and I got a really good pedi & mani, and the technician was very nice. I went last Friday and it was like a cattle call! Waiting area: Four crappy little chairs in a corner with no magazines, one holding kids' toys. It looks like they added more pedi chairs along one wall? They are so close together I could barely get into my chair. Every one was filled, so we're all closely crammed together in a row. Two little kids, I'm assuming offspring of one of the workers, were running around yelling and playing, with one or more of the workers periodically yelling at the kids. A man did my pedi. He sat down without a word, not looking at me or saying hello. He opened his 'tool box' & checked his phone. He started working on my feet & did not say a word, did not ask me what I wanted, or even look at me for the entire pedi. When he was done, he got up and walked away without a word. I wasn't sure if he was done... am I waiting for a second coat? Should move to the drying fans? ... or what the heck was going on. I finally made eye contact with him across the room & he came back over. "Am I done?" "Yes yes." "Should I go to the fans?" "Oh, I thought you would like to sit here." "No, I'd like to dry my nails at the drying fans." He led me to the fans at the back of the room (where I discovered the magazines) & asked me to pay right now. I asked how much. He asked if I was paying cash or credit. I said debit card. He said $32. I said, wow that's more than I expected. He said $29 with cash. I said OK & gave him a twenty & a ten. Waited about 10 minutes for him to bring me back the change but he never came back. I finally hunted him down in the back room and asked, are you coming back with my change? He took a wad of bills out of his pocket & was about to peel off a one. I said, no, keep it, I was planning to tip you when you came back, and gave him more money. (I know, later I thought I should have just given him the fee & the tip all at once, but wasn't thinking.) (I know, why did I even tip him?) Really NOT a good, pleasant, relaxing experience, and I will not go back. Also not that good of a pedi, three days later a few chips already, and I see the polish not going all the way down to the bottom of one of the nails.

    Very unprofessional and not worth the decidedly higher than usual price. I had a male technician and he noticeably shook the entire fill. He also would periodically open his drawer and go on his phone and also in the middle of everything he would get up an use his phone in a cabinet across the room. I was not completely satisfied with the end result of my nails as they were short and round not long and sleek like my coffin shaped acrylics come out usually. My little cousin also got her nails done and the lady who helped her told her that she couldn't get the little flowers on her nails because she moved to much. Not very professional considering that's her job.

    Horrible gel paint job!

    Monica was awesome. Very personable and professional. I was ambivalent about returning to waxing…read more(was doing laser hair removal and then had to terminate sessions due to pregnancy- which led to skin sensitivity etc.), however, I will likely continue to see Monica due to this good experience.

I have seen the image of the other guy that got his back waxed here and still felt very comfortable getting my back waxed here. Don't let those pictures scare you away. All EW do have a 5 day policy that if your not fully happy with the job you can come back in within 5 days to make you happy. I have been to a ton of waxing places. I have had my fair share of good, bad, ugly I really like EW as the concept has raised the bar and has gotten people out of the back room in a hair salon. They have masted the skill because it's all they do day in day out day and night. They never "double-dip" they use a clean and new stick every time!!!!! It's a big deal for my wife she's amazed by this concept. Wax in the morning, Wax in the afternoon, Wax in the middle of the night. The price is not cheap but it's worth it for the services, it's far better them shaving or using that stuff that burns your skin to remove your hair. This location has a lot of good going for it: Staff is friendly and professional, the location is clean, had lots of parking, next to a ton of other stores for you can get stuff done before or after your waxing. All EW have a very strict 5 min late policy, more then 5 min late give the ladies a call. The package deal (wax passes) are definitely a great buy!!!! They are well worth it and you can break the payments in to what works for you. I don't have any cons.

    N & CO Unisex Salon - Curls vs. waves?

    N & CO Unisex Salon

    (10 reviews)

    I was sooo excited to get a perm here, because I had got a cut and absolutely loved the results!…read more Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for my perm. The picture on the left is what I asked for. The picture on the right is the result. I kept telling the stylist that I wanted 'fat spirally curls' like the blonde had and she kept telling me those were waves. Regardless, I tried to make it clear that I wanted curls and said it SEVERAL times and she kept saying that hers and my definition of waves/curls were different. I should have known right then that we were not on the same page and left. 1. The curling rods were old, mostly broken and the stylist brushed it off by laughing when she had to fix them. (one actually snapped in my hair during the first perming chemical process). She didn't even have enough of the two sizes/colors she chose, so had to rearrange my hair a little. Mind you, none of which were large enough to make "fat spirally curls". (Time to get new ones and a wide variety) 2. There were two chemical processes, neither of which were timed / alarm set to ensure my hair was not overdone. The stylist brushed both times off like her alarm just didn't go off, but I watched both times and never saw her set an alarm. The end resulted in some of the blonde highlights in my hair getting literally FRIED OFF! So she had to cut the fried ends in the front creating almost bangs and now I have to tuck the fried ends behind my ears. I have no idea how bad it's going to look when I try to pull my hair up. Sadly, I chalked it up like it was no big deal, because I just wanted to get out of there; literally trying not to cry. 3. She was extremely scattered, unorganized and in my opinion, unprofessional. She seemed to be too busy either texting her daughter reminders, responding to her friend's drama via iPhone/Apple Watch or something else. Which shows .... Overall, my experience wasn't the greatest and my hair is a result of it. I will not be going back to this Salon.
