    Look at the rhinestone job and the clear polish on there any kind of way.
    Teira R.

    The nail techs I've gone to here are more about finishing up fast than quality. They have the potential to be so great if they SLOWED DOWN and actually cared about their clients end result. I stopped coming here initially, but needed my nails done for my birthday. They were decent until I walked into the sunlight and noticed the terrible rhinestone job and how the tech slapped clear coat on it any kind of way. Needless to say, I'm beginning my search for a better nail tech. UPDATE: I contacted them to have it fixed and the nail tech fixed the streaks and did my color change free! (I didn't like the blue) This was very nice of them to do, thanks for rectifying the issue!

    Baby's first ombré nails
    A Well Read Cat Q.

    This is my second visiting this nail salon and my second time being truly impressed by the quality and range of services. The first time I came to this salon, I brought my 11 yr old niece. She was delighted by the ambience and vibe, because it's very serene and luxurious. What I liked was how thorough they were with my pedicure-- I had the feet of a different woman by the time I was done! This time I got an ombré dip powder manicure. Thue did an amazing job, even going back and refiling my nails when I realized that my City Girl days are over, and I probably can't hang with the loooong nails I loved in my halcyon summers of youth. She also helped me pick my colors, which was good because I wanted a summery, watermelon vibe, which is very much what I got! Love this for me!

    281.00$ for this.Nails are decent price is a joke.NEVER AGAIN.

    I wanted a full set (acrylics) as well as (acrylic) toenails and a full pedicure with callus scrubbing, the whole 9. I've gotten my nails done here before and they are a little pricey but they are worth it since I have never experienced chipped or breakage etc. Long story short I got my manicure and it was fine. I got my pedicure and the lady took a pumice stone and lightly scrubbed one small area on my left foot and that was it. I don't even know why she filled the basin up and brought out all these products only to not use them? When it was time to pay the lady at the front desk told me that I owe 281$! I have never in 20+YRS paid anything even close to that much. I asked her why it was so much and she couldn't or wouldn't give me an actual answer. She mumbled something about an Express pedicure. I looked it up. That's the cheapest pedi option.Still doesn't explain the near 300$ price tag. I got contrasting brown polish on nails & toes with sweater style french tips on either ring finger. She finally tells me ok I will take 20% off of 281$ She said I still owe 271 and if I came back the next day she'd have my calluses scrubbed for 7$ but I wasn't able to come the next day since I am helping my daughter move. I hope to have this situation resolved as I enjoy the techs and it's not their fault.

    Horrible Nails

    I was not provided the color I request because they didn't have it. The nail tech chose the next number/color (182) and told me it was the same. It was not the same color I wanted.I told her I didn't like it because it was too pink. She asked if I wanted to cover it with chrome or gel polish. I chose chrome. When I got to the register I was told I had to pay for both the wrong dip and the chrome. When I refused I was told I needed to remove the chrome. But the dip was too pink so removing the chrome (which I didn't have time to do) would have meant I would be left with the ugly pink dip!

    I've been to Avalon a few times and each time I'm left feeling like my experience could have been better. I don't get my nails done as consistently as I once did, so whenever I've come to Avalon it's usually because I'm in a pinch and have an event to go to and need a place that's close and takes walk-ins. Let's start with the positives. Avalon is conveniently located right off the Westbank expressway by Manhattan. The shop is spacious and clean. They have a decent color selection, do natural nails and acrylics, every nail tech that I've had is kind, and as a walk-in I've rarely waited more than about 30 minutes to get into the chair. Whenever I've gotten a pedicure it comes with a leg and foot massage and the gentleman that typically does the massage is absolutely fabulous. He works out kinks in your shin that you didn't even know where there. Where I'm usually left wanting more is in the quality of the service. Over the course of all the times I've visited, I've had some decent sets and I've had some that weren't so great. I typically get dip powder on my natural nails as it tends to last the longest for me without much wear and tear in between visits. I'm accustomed to other shops doing a gel top coat with this style and curing it under the lamp. Here, they dip your nails and just put on a fast drying polish for the top coat. This may work for others, but for me my nails always crack and chip well before my normal week and a half - two weeks of wear. I asked once if I could get gel as the top coat for my dip so it wouldn't crack, but was told it would have been an additional charge. This is usually included at other salons. I also asked for square as my nail shape and I'm not really sure what shape I walked out with. I expected square to come with a bit more of a defined line and edges, but I what I got was more round and inconsistent from nail to nail. The techs also aren't great with color matching. As I mentioned before I get dip and usually like to have my toes match my nail color. I'm not new to getting my nails done so I'm aware that sometimes the dip color and the accompanying polish don't match exactly. However, in my experience with other salons the techs are knowledgeable of their color library and can suggest a color that may be a better match. Here I'm usually forced to pick a complementary neutral for my toes which isn't terrible, just not what I prefer most of the time. All of these things aren't really the end of the world, and are things that I tend to overlook because I'm the one in a rush, but what really turned me off this past time was how they handle their pricing. They have a menu of services with prices at the front desk where I picked which services I wanted, but when I checked out the price was more than advertised. I got a full dip set (I didn't have anything on my nails prior so there was no takeoff necessary) and I keep my nails pretty short and stick to just a single color. The menu said that it was $45, but I was charged $50. Only $5 so not a huge deal, but I was curious and asked the gentleman checking me out and he seemed confused and said that because I had gotten a new, full set that it was extra. This was odd to me because with dip powder salons typically don't do refills, you have to do a take off and get a new set every time. Not only that, but the menu price was for a new set. I showed him the picture of the menu that I had snapped and he said that it was strange and that it would be addressed and changed. He didn't apologize for the mix up or offer to honor the price that was displayed. The menu did say sport length, but as I mentioned before I keep my nails short, so I can't imagine I was charged for extra length. While the $5 didn't break me, I was a little disappointed to not have the menu price honored especially when the quality of service isn't up to par. Maybe the folks in the shop who are more skilled are always booked up, I also know that some shops are better overall with nail extensions than working with natural nails, so maybe that's the case. Just be aware that if you're going to walk-in that it can sometimes be a mixed bag in terms of quality.

    I'm so Disappointed. I couldn't even get an apology During Covid on my birthday.

    I love this spot. Tho is my 3rd visit here. They want to…read moreaccommodate everyone, which can be overwhelming for them sometimes. I'll be back here are a few pictures from my experiences with this.

    My husband made an appointment for me for Mother's Day after searching for a nice place with good…read morereviews. I've never been to this nail salon before but was excited to be pampered. I picked my color and was directed to a pedicure chair. I didn't catch the nail techs name, but she asked me if I was having a good day. I said "I was, thank you, how about you." She responded, "Well, I'm at work." And that kind of set the tone for the visit. She seemed unhappy to be there, rushed through my $55 deluxe pedicure. I had to search around for the massage chair remote during the pedicure because she didn't hand it to me or set it up, as I'm accustomed to. Never offered me a drink. There was no warm neck pillow as I see in other reviews. She spent the whole time speaking to her coworkers in a different language and seemed like they were mocking and laughing at customers. When she finished, she told me to stay put so my polish could dry. Then 10min later told me I could leave without helping me up or anything. And said "Thank you, have a nice day," which was the warmest she had been throughout the whole experience, probably because she knew I was about to decide how much to tip her. Will not return.
