$60 for gel x , $20 for French tip, and $20 for chrome. That's a $100 without their $20% tip they are rude, and are rough with their manicure and their "hand massage" at the end is terrible and lasts a couple of seconds. Terrible service! I'd go down the street to the other salon Much cleaner, kinder and better service. read more

I've been coming to this salon for almost 10 years and they welcome their customers by name-- it's like Cheers! I rarely get a chance to sit in Victoria's chair because she's always so busy, but I received a blessing on Saturday. Victoria Is fast, efficient, and GOODT! I had powder on my nails and I wasn't a fan of it because they were so thick last time. She showed me what it should look like on her own nails and suggested we do it since I was about to go on maternity leave and needed something that would last at least a month. She made my nails look fab! I also got a pedi. When I tell you she is fast AND she's thorough--- she gets dead skin, under toe nail carnage and paints beautifully. I have absolutely no complaints. If you want great service, a little bit of conversation and efficiency, Victoria is your girl! All hail Queen Victoria!!!! read more

After hearing good things about this nail salon, I decided to check it out myself. This business currently shows "unclaimed", however it is legit. It is located in the Dorsey Shopping Center with more than enough parking for all. When I called I was able to schedule a same day appointment to be there within 30 minutes of my call. I certainly lucked out. I was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome on a dull rainy Sunday. There were current two technicians taking care of two customers. The lady asked me to pick my color and the other technician will be with me shortly. She was kind enough to take my jacket and set me up in a chair to get my feet soaked for a pedicure. The salon looked clean and well organized. It has a nice waiting area, an open salon area and a back area that seemed a little more closed off and private. I suspect that area would be good for small groups. I received a pedicure and manicure. The technician was gentle and the leg massage was pleasant. When it came to the color, she made sure she looked for the best match I desired. She painted one nail and asked if I liked it. She then proceeded to finish painting the rest of my nails. When the pedicure was done; she helped me to the table where she continued with my manicure. Again, she checked the color and made sure I was happy with it. She was diligent and kind throughout the entire process. When I was finished the technician that greeted me made sure to remind me about my jacket. Overall I was pleased with the service and plan on coming back again. I noticed other customers that came in after me were well acquainted with all the technicians. This is a huge plus; it shows the effort the technicians take to get to know the customers. Overall, the experience was good and I'd definitely come back again. read more

I feel like I just discovered big foot. It is so impossible to find a good nail salon! As someone who religiously gets a fill in every two weeks I'm quite used to being disappointed. When I go home to Maryland I haven't been able to find a go-to for my nails, until my roommate Katy mentioned this place. This nail salon is the epitome of finding a hometown spot. Tran the owner is incredible! She's so sweet, accommodating, and remembers all her customers. I was impressed that she even remembered my roommates' birthday offhand. It's truly a place you go to and feel the hometown vibe. Their work is meticulous, the color selection is awesome, and the prices are so fair. I came back two days later just to get a pedicure! There's plenty of parking, and appointment or not there's not a ton of wait time. Will be returning every time I'm travel home for holidays. read more

Avalon Nails - Nail designs - Nail Salons Near Me - Elkridge, Maryland

Sandy has been my nail tech for a least the last decade and everytime I see her, she always does an amazing job. I sometimes let her freestyle my nails and she always has me in the latest trendy styles. Sometimes I show her a picture of what I want and she executes it perfectly. ​I constantly get compliments my nails. She is also very respectful of my time and I appreciate her on time and deposit policy. When I make an appointment, I am not waiting in the salon and she is always ready when I arrive. She gets me done promptly without me feeling rushed. She also lets me know at least 24 hours in advance if she needs to cancel our appointment and offers a quick alternative time to get me in another day. I've referred her to many of my family and friends and they always have great things to say about their experience with Sandy too! read more

Shop is always clean. Love my tech Mary! It's wise to make an appointment as they do get very busy.

I was referred here by the ladies at Pro Nails out Catonsville (apparently, the owner and staff of this place used to work there), and they told me that they do an excellent job at designs and long nails. I found their IG and was very pleased and decided to book them for my birthday. I scheduled an appointment a day before and specifically asked them if they could do ombré nails, and that's what I wanted; of course, they said yes. I drove 30 minutes to this salon just for them to tell me that they aren't doing ombré nails with no explanation. So I had to find something that the nail tech could do quickly. The tech took 2 hours doing these nails, which is extremely long, being as though she didn't use acrylic and didn't double coat the polish (i realized once I got home, the black is see-through) and charged me $120, which they are not worth. 2 out of 10 for the tech because she took 2 hours trying. I do not recommend this place, and I'm genuinely disappointed. read more

I made an appointment for my daughter's prom and as a Mother's Day gift for myself. I will not be back. I went in asking for overlays for both of us and a pedicure for my daughter. Being a novice, I didn't know what to expect. The technicians gave us both a full set. It was only after leaving and telling my friend the cost and what was done did I learn I got a full set. I believe they also overcharged me for my daughter's pedi....$55! She got a basic pedicure..not a French pedi, no design, no stickers. In between customers, the chairs and tables are not sanitized. If you are a novice and have never gotten your nails done, don't go here. You'll leave paying 3x what you expected. read more

Wonderful and professional, great foot massages! Loved the turquoise massage chairs and clean, serene atmosphere. That's why we are repeat customers. read more

This is the best place is the area! The nail technicians are so accommodating and will listen to you about what you want. They take their time with your concerns and what designs you want during your appointment. When you walk in, you feel like you're family. I always go to Sandy and she always listens to what design I want and tries to alternate it to what fits me. Compared to any salon in the area, this salon is the best! This is a place you won't regret! read more

Horrible customer service. I've been going to Avalon for over 15 years with my daughter because it's our neighborhood salon. When I take my daughter I pay the same price for both of us, but her pedicure is rushed and she is not given the same service as me. Today we went and we're told it would be a 15 minute wait. Over 45 minutes later we were still waiting. We finally got up and left. Needless to say, I will be finding a new nail salon! read more

I love Avalon Nails! Everyone is very professional and the owner is lovely. The business is very clean. I also love that they know your name and remember your special requests! Looking forward to my next appointment! read more

I've been going here for almost a year & I love it! Sandy is my nail tech & she's amazing! My nails are always done to perfection.

This salon was amazing. There was no wait, and the people were so nice. They are so open to have conversations with you. I got tips and a gel coat all for a very good price! Also they had a lot of color options in gel, dip, and regular. read more

After my first experience was not a great experience the owner must have seen my review and took measures to call me and to offer me a refund and to come back in for a redo. I really do appreciate her caring enough to call and offer me a redo. I never did go back, only because it is out of the way and I happen to be in that area just for the day. I would say give them a try as it seemed hopefully they learned from my experience and this won't happen again. Also, I did see happy interactions with other technicians and customers that day. read more

The service here is wonderful and the staff genuinely cares about your comfort and what you want done. I typically get pedicures done here and the $40 spa pedicure is truly worth it and it's very relaxing; definitely a great "treat yo self" incentive. I continue to come back here for all of my nail needs. The owner is very kind and is sure to greet you with genuine kindness when you walk in the door! I highly recommend coming here for your nail needs! read more

I loved my nails and the service provided . However, the one time I had to cancel Due to Covid exposure my nail tech Sandy basically stopped servicing me and stopped responding to my text when I inquired to make another appointment .. it is sad that she didn't allow me to cancel with an exception due to Covid that is bad business practice as far as I am concerned . I would recommend An.. but fortunately I have found a new salon in Baltimore Self-ish . read more

Im having a hard time with the rating here because it's been 5 days and my gel polish has held up quite nicely. But literally the entire experience was Just wrong.... So they took way too long like over 2 hours for a gel manicure and pedicure... They were all very nice people but sanitation left much to be desired. There were Holes in the warm towels they used to wrap your legs at the end. they used same tool to clean under my nails as to scrape the top and it and this wasnt the tool that is double sided and intended to be used that way, it was a metal fingernail file with the plastic part broken off so that means that the scraper part was too thick to get a good manicure or good push of the cuticle and the pointy part was too thick to get under the corner of my big toes where I really needed to be cleaned out. They didn't pull any of the tools from New bags or sanitation drawers, just from their little plastic carrying thing. Not once did I see a tool put into a solution to clean properly before the next use. She forgot to clean under my fingernails and didn't have me rinse my hands before she painted which I get manicures all the time and I've never had that happen. I even asked her if I should get up and rinse them and she said no... Here's the thing, if you want a manicure and pedicure to take almost 2 hours and you're not really concerned about the cleanliness, this place should definitely be on your list. But I will not be returning. I was worried the whole time about bacteria. read more

I've been a regular here for years and always receive amazing service. I came in with no appointment on a Saturday morning and I had a strict time constraint. They were able to take me right away and finish an acrylic plus gel manicure and normal pedicure in under an hour. My nails look SO much better than anywhere else I've ever tried and the prices are great! read more

I guess I just cannot understand how/why Ellicott City-108 area of Columbia just does not have an adequate nail place? I tried this place today - just wanted a simple pedicure. I almost walked out, but I was already there. The place is filthy. The walls are dirty, the floor is dirty. Every chair in the place is either ripped or has dried polish on it OR BOTH. My nail tech pointed to the pedicure room but did not show me the chair to sit in. I was in there waiting for 15 min. Another tech turned the water on. The pedicure itself was underwhelming. AND during the middle of the pedicure, the nail tech got up and left for like 10 min?? I was in this place for a solid 40 min, and the actual pedicure lasted for 15 min. No thanks. read more

Tao was great, she knows exactly what u want and she asks you many times if u like it before she proceeds. Definitely going back soon

DO NoT waste your money and time..!! I am visiting 3 days in a row to fix the color. They are not friendly and will not respond as its a color fix. I am mother of an infant. Coming to the salon is my only getaway and i hope its pleasurable. Unfortunate that my decision to get my nails done did not work in my favor. I chose the dipping powder which turned out to be a disaster. Top coat chipped of within 24 hours. They fixed it with gel nail polish and that chipped of within 24 hours. Time came for me to visit for the second time and they asked me to come the next day. How can they not value a customer. Everybody's time is precious. My recommendation is do not try this place as you will stay disappointed. read more

I will be back! I stopped in to see Tran while visiting my sister and it was one of the best pedicures I've had in a while. She and her team know how to work some magic! read more

I've been debating on reviewing this place because I actually know of one the girls that work there and it's her family store but I cannot stop thinking about my experience. I called a bunch of other places before this one because it was last minute on a Friday for a gel mani & pedi to see if I could get an appointment. When I called this place the lady on the phone said my services would be $55. I don't usually go to salons anymore and I usually get gel acrylics with design and basic pedi which is no more than $75 then $55 for fill in and pedi. So I was happy to hear that she said $55 for gel mani and pedi. That was my first mistake there I didn't clarify that both mani and pedi gel. I get there pick my color out and start on my toes. It's okay inside the waiting area which is in the middle with just couches are nice. No decorations/color or even signs on the wall really. They offered coffee and water. I had an older lady which she took her time but I was in that pedi chair for an hour and a half. I had regular nail color paint on before but barely and I asked for two coats due to the color being showing up lighter than what I wanted. Finally move to the mani part, a guy basically did it then a lady came after to paint my nails. Before she started I asked if I could pay now she said $75 which I turned confused and told her what I thought it was suppose to be due to my call. She explained that's how it is everywhere else but this is my first time here and again I wouldn't know about everywhere else there was nothing available. Anyway we agreed it was a miscommunication and I didn't want to continue the conversation with other people just there. So I just asked for regular nail polish which took more of my time and it seemed she was upset that I asked for regular. I was kind of unhappy with my nails but my toes are fine, first time doing a neon green. If you tip bring cash they don't add to card or ask unless you say something. read more

Horrible experience. They cut my toe. Didn't apologize until I was bleeding. Started a spa pedicure when I said no, I don't have time. My nails are crooked. Parts of my nails are missing polish. Polish left on toes. All for $30. read more

I tried this salon recently during the pandemic because I was desperate for a manicure/pedicure. The atmosphere wasn't warm and cozy by any stretch of the imagination. The first visit was hostile because the operator disputed anything I said, did not make me feel comfortable, charged considerably more than I have paid in the past, and the second visit was still unfriendly, with my arms being pulled for the manicure and my paint choice was substituted with no explanation. I felt like the enemy here. It definitely was not comfortable and relaxing. read more

This place is nice, clean and, relaxing. Very nice people, An is very good with mani and gel.
