    Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience at this nail salon. The technician used different nail tips, which made the color look inconsistent across my nails. The shape was also uneven ( I wanted coffin), and the polish application looked messy. I also mentioned that my hand was burning under the UV light, but my concern wasn't addressed and I was simply told to put my hand back in the lamp. While my other hand was fine, the experience overall felt rushed and the results did not meet my expectations. (Edit) I went back to have it fixed she just filed it and put some top coat again. A little bit better She said because I wanted rounder shape that's why the shape was like that, so I told her if I wanted rounder shape then why are the others sharp I had to explain to her that the nails were inconsistent..

    Sloppy nail polish application causing ridges ..

    Idk how they justify charging $35 for a gel nail color change.. and FINE, if you're going to charge a premium at least do a GOOD JOB. My nails were rushed, done sloppy and now have creases. The shape was fine before coming here and she filed them so poorly that I even had to ask to use the filer myself .. I have nail polish all over the place. AWFUL.

    White paint left, unable to remove as it is not regular polish. I wasn't successful removing it with oil or shower.

    The worst. The nails didn't even last two weeks. I didn't go back for a fourth time to repair. They had no interest in repairing them correctly on day 1. They just continued to buff and buff away the dip without re-dipping.

    This set is builder gel with cat eye polish and Christmas designs.

    This set is builder gel with cat eye polish and Christmas designs. I've come to Avatar nails for a few years now and it's been nothing but Amazing! The customer service is great. I specifically go to Amy and she is the sweetest and most professional nail tech I have ever been to. She really takes her time to perfect her work and listen to exactly what you are looking for. Amy does everything from pedicures, manicures, gel, dipping powder and gel builder. Her work is amazing and she is such a great person. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for great quality nails!

    ruined my nails

    Went in to get acrylics, previously had glue-on cheap nails from target that i asked to be removed. She started ripping the nails off and when I said it hurt and asked her to use acetone she said no. On my 7th nail she ripped half of the nail off (picture attached) and then brought out the acetone and products to remove the last ones correctly. I didn't let her finish and got up and said i didn't need it anymore and will never be back. Be warned and go at your own risk.

    Dip manicure with catseye top coat and cute christmas designs!

    Amy at Avatar is AMAZING!! She is also so kind, gentle and pays attention to detail! I am always in love with the finished product when I see her and she can do cute little designs perfect for the holidays! 10/10 recommend

    Ask for Ana. She does my nails all the time and she is great. Very detailed oriented. Powder dip is my favorite. U don't feel rushed being here unlike other places. All the staff are really nice too. This place is great overall, my go-to nail shop. Located right off Alcosta Blvd next to gas station. High recommend.

    I first time visited today, and tried this nail salon for dip manicure and gel pedicure. My first impression of the Salon it looked clean and neatly kept from inside. I was received with smile. I find my manicurist very sweet and kind. She took care of everything I asked for, 10/10 service here. Anna is skilled and polite nail artist. I am planning to visit again for sure. I would recommend Avatar to friends:)

    I was recommended here by my friends. First off, I called in the morning for an acrylic soak off removal. They let me know it was $15 when I came in I was seated immediately. They proceeded to flick my nails off with a nail tip which is horrible for your nail beds. I then decided to get a gel manicure which I saw online there was a gel change for $25. I told the nail lady (Thuy Dao) I wanted to do a gel change, she said that I can do a gel manicure for $40, and the basic change would be $35. She also said if I get a service the $15 removal would go to $10. But then if I got basic gel manicure (no care of cuticle) it would only be $5 cheaper. I told her I have to go to an appt in 10 mins, she says it's only taking this long because I'm taking so long to choose a color (she said she didn't have the color I originally chose). She proceeded to dip my hand in a bowl of water?? She said she can do it in 5-10 mins which I totally could've done the gel change for because I wasn't going to have the time for all the extra services. She paints my nails quickly and skillfully but points out a bump on my nail which was caused by ripping my nails off. Overall, I will not be returning. It seems that the manicurist upcharged me because I checked the website and the salon menu afterwards and is there is no $35 gel service. Just a $25 gel change and $40 shellac manicure.

    My friend asked for a star on her nails as well and got this.

    My friend and I both asked for stars and got these. Not only was the pricing completely unfair based on the quality of the design, but the overall service was neither welcoming nor desirable. The overall gel manicure came out lumpy and over priced.

    - Extremely Poor Customer Service…read more I am very disappointed with my experience at Threads Beauty Bar. I called Priti (P-R-I-T-I) the receptionist at 1:00 PM to ask if the threading specialist I like was available. She told me yes, the specialist was available today and also tomorrow. I explained that I live an hour and a half away and specifically drive out for this particular service provider because she does great work. Priti said that was fine and told me there were no appointments scheduled, so I could come in anytime. At 2:35 PM, I called back to confirm that I would be coming and asked if there was an appointment available. She said they had an opening at 3:15 PM. I said that would work. She then abruptly hung up without taking my name or confirming anything. When I arrived and parked, I called back because I realized she had never taken my name to hold the 3:15 appointment. I had my seven-year-old daughter with me, who is sick, so I wanted to be sure the appointment was secured before bringing her inside. Priti told me she could not put my name down unless I physically came into the salon. I did not understand why my name could not simply be written down over the phone, especially since she was the one who hung up without confirming details. Then she started to say, show me your car .. I will come out to see you in your car so I know you are here. I got frustrated because why would I want anyone to see my car when I'm trying to give her my name for the appointment?! She said she doesn't believe me that I'm here and calling to put my name on the time, I was so confused! The situation escalated unnecessarily. Instead of resolving it professionally, she involved someone named Neil, who told me they would not service me and that I had to leave. For someone who drives 1.5-2 hours specifically for their services, this level of rudeness and lack of professionalism is unacceptable. Clear communication and basic courtesy would have prevented this entire situation. Unfortunately, due to the poor and dismissive customer service, I will not be returning. I will also report this to the business bureau.

    To tDouglas M- this is my reply to you! As someone who works in customer service, this review…read morehonestly reads less like constructive feedback and more like someone looking for something to be upset about. A short wait, a staff member stepping away, or a moment of confusion is normal in any business -- especially one that's clearly served you well for years. Most people understand that. What's disappointing is seeing a long, dramatic write‑up over something so minor, especially when the employees you're criticizing are real people doing their best. Turning a brief inconvenience into a public takedown doesn't make the business look bad -- it highlights how unforgiving and unrealistic some customers have become. If this is the worst thing you've experienced here after years of good service, that actually speaks volumes about the quality of the staff. Not every moment needs to be escalated into a Yelp saga. A little patience and basic empathy would have gone further than this review did.

    I have been coming here for years, even when it was lunch box, and never had a problem, until now…read more So I'm giving them 3 stars but normally I would give 5 stars (if this was my first or second time, it would be 1 star and I would not return). I come in once or twice a year, usually before a beach type vacation to get my back waxed. They have always had someone at the front desk when I walk in, but not this last visit. Let me mentioned before getting into it, the place is always clean, the entrance, Hallway and wax rooms. The wax service is always fast, professional and as relaxing as it can be getting waxed. I never had a scheduling problem until now either. This last experience was not good. I arrived at 1030 my scheduled time, but no one was at the front desk, but I could hear someone talking on the phone in the room behind the desk. I waited 5 minutes figuring they would come out, but no, so I start to ask if anyone here? No response for 2-3 min, so I asked again, then a lady with black and purple hair comes out of the room and say someone will be right with me and turns back around into the room to continue to talk on the phone, as if I was bothering her at work!! Then a few minutes later, another person comes out from down the hall (I think she was actually with a client) and asked if I have been helped, I said no and told her my appointment was at 1030, she tells me the appointment was at 1040 (this was at 1042, already past my apparently rescheduled appointment) and said someone will be with me shortly. Then the other lady that was talking on the phone comes out from the room behind the desks. I sat there about 5 more mins until my wax person arrives, say sorry for being late, and gets ready (it appears they changed the appointment because the wax person was running late), they never told me they changed the appointment time (no text like all the other notifications, which I like from this place). The appointment was never changed on the website, only locally, maybe they just lied for her, and told me 10:40. Oh and no one ever came out of the room behind the desk after the phone call lady, while I was waiting for my room to be ready. It was clearly a personal call at work and she didn't want to be bothered at work. At the end, I still tipped, against my better judgement, a lower 10% rather that the usually 20%. The wax person was late, but apologized. I think I will return because up until this time it has been great, but not sure.
