This was my first time coming here since they've done new renovations and slightly altered management. I will try and stay as unbiased as I can in this review.
When I first walked in, I saw that they had futuristic wall designs, blue accent lights, and plenty of workstations for both pedicures and manicures. It smelled clean and fresh, and every single workbench was nearly spotless! (Maybe one of the cleanest salons I've ever been to, in fact). It looked very newly renovated and had a really nice airflow throughout.
They also used dust collectors, which is definitely something that every nail tech should have because the dust from drilling all the substances can be quite toxic without a mask. So, normally when I go to nail techs I always look for the dust collectors as a tell-tale sign of hygiene. From what I saw, I think Avonmax greatly prioritizes hygiene. If other techs weren't at their workbenches, they were elsewhere sweeping or mopping.
I got a gelx set done, since I'm leaving for a vacation trip the following day. When I called in the day before, they very graciously and kindly let me know they had an open spot the next day--which was a big relief to me since I only had 1 day to get them done. They were very kind to be open to the design that I picked and did it so beautifully, yet efficiently, too!
The manager is very hardworking and charismatic. You can tell she cares a lot about her clients. She converses with everyone that walks in and out of that door. I've read some of the other (kind of bad) reviews here and I genuinely could never see her in that way. Plus, everyone has their bad days.
She said when she's not so busy, she enjoys doing more intricate and fun designs. You can clearly tell that she enjoys her job. She told me about how she's been doing it for a while and moved a couple of times until she found Avonmax. She said she very much loves doing what she does here, and you can obviously tell through her demeanor. She's very sweet and eccentric, and incredibly easy to converse with, too! Talking to her felt like talking to one of my best friends or something lol. I absolutely loved my experience here, personally. I know everyone has different experiences, but every client that I saw in this salon today seemed very satisfied and happy with their experience!
The nails themselves are gorgeous. She's very talented when it comes to doing gelx, and I was so impressed with what she's done. She had some other techs, who are also very talented, help with the charms to get it done faster (I was here pretty late and they were closing soon), and I lovveddd the outcome! She's very communicative throughout the process and wants to make sure that her client is happy with the set. Prior to this, I had a set of gelx that I didn't particularly like, but she kindly helped me to fix it before my vacation! (She's my savior!)
I would personally recommend this nail salon to anyone looking for a new set with a nice treatment. While their prices tend to be on the steeper side, I personally liked what I had gotten. If you're hesitant, I would still recommend you give it a shot! The ambience in this place was very pleasant, and I left with the feeling that I would love to come back.
