Van has been doing my nails for years and never disappoints. I'm pretty sure there isn't a thing he can't do. My entire family comes here and we are always greeted with a friendly smile and kindness. They have excellent service and do their very best to make you feel welcome. read more

I've been coming here for years and I honestly love it! Hannah always does such a great job on my nails. She's quick, efficient, and super consistent. I never have to wait long since I book ahead, and she always makes sure I'm taken care of. My nails come out perfect every time. The salon is clean, welcoming, and has a really nice vibe. Definitely recommend Hannah if you're looking for someone reliable who always delivers! read more

The nail tech was so rude and embarrassed me. I told her I want gel and no acrylic with a design but then proceeds to get the acrylic nails ready for me. When I told her "oh I don't want acrylic just gel" she gives me this look and then storms off to another nail tech lady and starts to argue. I decided on just one color and she does the minimum possible. She doesn't cut my cuticles, no lotion, nothing! Only slaps the gel on. Her name was I think Thought Nguyen table 7. On the other hand, the other nail tech who did my pedi was super nice. Overall if u do end up going, DONT GET THAT LADY LMAO. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! After going here for years, I will NEVER return. After scheduling an appointment, a tech sat me at a pedicure chair and ran icy water. When I mentioned it was ice cold, she said THAT she would fix it and walked away - never returning. I mentioned it again two more times to other staff and they said that she needed to fix it. The tech was too busy eating and then started a new manicure while leaving me in ice cold water. The other staff could not be bothered, so after 25 minutes I left. The service has gone downhill! Go somewhere that your mighty dollar is valued as much as you - try Best Nails in Altamonte. read more

I had an appointment at 2 PM for a pedicure. I got there 5 minutes before and it was crowded. I could tell at one point the lead tech said something in her language to the other techs about me. Believe me, I'm not paranoid... when someone says something and then 3 techs at the pedicure chairs turn around and look directly at me, I know what's going on. Around 40 minutes later the lead tech told me to go to seat 5 and a lady and her daughter to go to seats 3 and 4. In a non-threatening and gentle manner, I asked the lady in seat 4 did she have an appointment...she said, "no I don't, I'm not in a rush today." 10 minutes later when 2 nail techs became available they went to seats 3 and 4. I spoke to the lead tech and told her I've decided to leave and her excuse was the lady and her daughter had been waiting a long time. That's why you make an appointment at a certain time. I made an appointment but had waited 50 min...10-15 min delay is understandable, but not 50 min. I was the only person of color in the salon when the lead tech sat us in seat 3, 4 and 5. Maybe management has a concern with others waiting, but not people of color who have an appointment. When I left, I took my business right down the street to another salon and made sure they weren't affiliated with Ave Nails. read more

Went here to get gel and a pedicure. She did a great job well i thought she did I'm going to show you a pic of me nails when she did them. Within 9 days my nail bed was already detaching from the gel, here's the pic of my nails after 9 days. I was putting up Christmas decorations and it came off and i didn't even feel it meaning not enough product!! They looked very good at first but she also hurt the back of my nail/ finger which has NEVER happened to me before. I'm sad to say i will not return here and i don't recommend going here. I think i had huey or something on that line. read more

Needed a pedicure fast- and it was 9pm last night! Since I am new to this area of Apopka, I googled salons near me. Ave Salon popped up. It has an online appointment calendar! Techno- loved it! I was able to secure a 9:30am pedicure. Not only was it a very clean salon, but everyone was so polite! Best pedicure massage ever! You can tell the other clients were "regulars" and loved their salon. Well, I will be back! read more

My daughter and I had an appointment for her birthday. I had asked for us to be together for our mani/pedis since it's her first One and she's 10. The place was packed when we walked in so we had to wait even with appointments. They did my pedi first and separated us. The lady who did mine was very rude and rushed through mine so fast that I felt anxious instead of relaxed. Within 15 minutes, she rushed me to her chair for a manicure. That lasted about 10 min. She was yanking my hand around and rushing super fast. There were people there before me that were still getting a pedicure even after mine was done. As my nails were drying, I noticed that the person doing my daughter's nails was being very rough with her and basically yelling at her. I was very upset to see her being treated this way especially on her birthday. I got up and told him that she's a child and he needs to have patience and treat her with respect. Also, it's very obvious that they talk badly about their customers here. They would laugh and talk to each other as customers walked in. Long story short, $70 went down the toilet. Prices have gone up so much and quality has dropped dramatically. I was so upset when I left this nail salon and question whether it's even worth it to spend that kind of money for these services. Do not go here!! read more

Don't pass this nails salon. Lisa is awesome, always smiling & welcoming. She is a perfectionist.

My friend and coworker referred me to Ave. I got gel nails done. The tech did a great job and was professional! Definitely going to use her again. Picture is almost one week old! read more

Absolutely love Donna! They have the best prices and the sweetest people. Definitely getting your money's worth :)

Terrible experience. I came in for a manucure and was assigned to Lisa. I greeted her with a smile and good morning and she looked me up and down like she was disgusted. She looked angry the whole time. I tried to ask her how she was to lighten her mood. She then goes outside in a coughing fit and coughs into her hands. Tried to start doing my nails again. I asked her to wash her hands and she got mad. I asked to be taken care of by someone else. Another tech was kind enough to take care of me and was very kind. I don't know why she chose to treat me like that. Because of Lisa I may not return. read more

They do nails great here! But if you want to be looked at and judged, laughed at, talked about, I assume you go somewhere else because they make it very obvious they are talking sh** about you. read more

Came to get a pedi and mani with my sister, it was our first time here, we thought we try somewhere new. However, sitting in the pedi chair for at least 20 mins with no service and not even being acknowledged of sitting here so long, I was already wondering about their customer service.... Three people came after us, and also wanted a pedi. I find it very rude and unprofessional when I see that they're being attended before my sister and I. We waited patiently...but 30 minutes passed and we decided to go somewhere else instead :/ read more

I dropped in on a Saturday night and was surprised that I'm not the only one who enjoys a mani/pedi on a late night. Regardless of the amount of customers, I was greeted almost immediately. The shop was nice and quiet, clean and I was seated right away. They actually listened when I said I wanted the water to be hot hot hot - for real, scalding would be just great! Most nail salons hear me say that and think I meant luke warm. ;) I got my mani/pedi exactly as requested and the nail tech was not pushy nor did she make an attempt at upgrading to other services or make the dreaded comment about..."are you sure you don't want to wax your brows?" haha read more

Just awful! I said I wanted a powdered gel manicure, they told me 20 minutes, so I decided to wait, only for it to turn into 45 minutes. I finally get to a seat and they have no idea what a powdered gel manicure even is. Why didn't they ask me that when I walked in?! Awful! I'm new to the area and in search of a place to go every few weeks, and they lost out due to their own incompetency! read more

Very unprofessional and only care amount making money! I received services at this nail salon today, my charges came up to $32.00 ($5 tip). I gave the nail tech what I thought at the time was $40 ( two $20 bills). As I reached into my purse to pay for my lunch, I immediately realized that I had accidentally gave the nail tech $70 ($50 bill and a $20). I went back to the salon explained to them what happened they owner told me that "that there was no way his employee would have taken my money". I asked him to reconcile his register to check to see if the cash matched the receipts,he refused. I have never heard of a business not willing to check their register to prove that their employees are honest. I explained to him calmly that I was going to call the police because his nail tech stole my money, the owner and his employees started laughing at me then proceeded to talk about me to the customers in the salon. The police arrived, the owner was questioned along with the employee. The police officers found it strange that the owner would not check his register. Unfortunately, there was nothing the police could do because it's a civil matter. Something to think about: * why wouldn't the owner check his receipts & register for discrepancies? * why did an upset customer have to resort to contacting the police? * why was the owner and employees laughing and talking about an upset customer with other customers? * why was the owner not willing to give the customer her money? * what's really going on at this nail salon? This business can care less about customer service. Very unprofessional and dishonest!!! Sincerely, Upset and Angry!!! read more

Do you think it's ok to sell a salon package to a customer for 10 visits, then cancel that service without notifying the paid customer, and then not be willing to issue a refund on the unused services purchased? Did you answer "no"? Yeah, me too. But apparently AVE NAILS in Apopka thinks it's just fine. From my perspective, they just stole money from me. That's worth a RANT, I think. read more

This nail tech looked at my sandals and put her foot in it and told me how much she liked them and wanted to know where I bought them. Who the hell does that!@!@!@ then she scorched me with hot water when she tried to rinse me. I almost jumped out my seat. She apologized and a few minutes later she is holding up my sandal to her co-worker and then asks me again where I got them! WTF read more

Ave Nail & Tan is the best salon for excellence, friendliness and cleanliness. I owned my own nail salon for years. When I relocated to Florida, I needed to find a place to do my nails. I visited multiple places. Ave Nails & Tan surpassed all of them!! Their cleanliness is exceptional! There is barely an odor from the products. The odor from nail products is not a healthy environment. So, I feel safe at this salon. The other salons I visited had a heavy smell to their products. The fact that in the very near future they are going to use organic products is a huge plus. I feel confident to refer people here that have asked me where I get my nails done. Give this salon a try. You will never go anywhere else! read more

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at this salon. The tech who did my pedicure and manicure was really rough. He made one of my nails bleed from pulling so hard on my cuticles. I had asked for another coat during my manicure, because the lavender color was almost clear from barely putting any polish on my nails. He then grabbed the top coat polish and painted my nails. I am hoping he just didn't hear me and not choosing to ignore my request. read more

Always keep appointment times and don't make you wait! Great service and friendly staff. Donna is amazing!

Let me start by saying that if I could give 0 stars, I most definitely would. The customer service at this salon was atrocious! From the moment I walked in the door the nail tech was rude, almost to the point of being confrontational, when I asked for the service I was there for. My first time to this salon was this past Sunday. I have been getting my nails done for 30+ years in Chicago (a recent transplant) and I know how nails are done and I certainly know how I want MY nails done. I have always had a light pink acrylic overlay to my natural (very healthy) nails. When the nail tech met me at the front counter I explained that I wanted 3 nails soaked off and a new acrylic overly done on only those 3 nails as I had had a fill the week before at another salon and some of the nails began to lift only 2 days later (you could see the white line across the center of each nail where they tried to repair a portion of the nail). I like to keep my nails with a clear pink polish so they look as natural and classic as possible - no color so I prefer to have no visible lines. Completely soaking off the acrylic and starting over will take care of this issue and I am happy to pay to have this done when necessary. The tech asked where I had my nails done previously and I explained that it was not at this salon. The tech immediately proceeded to explain to me that it was not the acrylic that was the issue and that my own nails were broken so she should NOT have to soak off the acrylic. I assured her that there was no way ALL 3 of my nails were broken (oddly enough) directly through the center of the nail. And believe me if I had broken them in the center of my nail I most certainly would remember that as it would have been quite painful. She said "it's not our fault" you went elsewhere. I told her I never said it was and I politely asked her to please soak off the three nails. When she sat me down she proceeded to file off the acrylic and give me a fill. I once again asked her why she was not soaking my nails as I had already asked her to do twice. At this point she eventually conceded (with a very visible sigh) and started to soak off the acrylic on the 3 nails. She was very upset and very rushed and I could tell she was talking about me to her co-worker. From the minute I walked into this salon, this particular nail tech was EXTREMELY rude. I mean EXTREMELY. It was almost as if I was bothering her just by walking in the door. I should mention that they had just opened so there was only 1 other client in the salon besides me. Perhaps she had not yet had her morning coffee? No clue but the customer service here is the worst I've experienced. I have to say that most of the salons I have visited here in Florida have employees with the same general attitude, which is to say quite rude and bothered. They certainly want your money, but they want you to come in, shut up and just sit there while they do what they want as quickly as possible to get you out the door, and not what you - the customer - want. read more
