All the ladies are friendly. Vilma is great. She cleans my toes with patience and experience. They do try to engage the customers instead of talking to each other. They make everyone feel welcome. Price is on the higher side compare to others, so make sure you ask before start the service. Keep up the great work. read more

I got my nails done by Dina. She was very patient with me and had great attention to detail. They were very kind even when I messed up my toenail polish on my way out the door and it had to get redone . The location is clean and they consistently do a good job. They are especially good on the pedicures and the callous removal. Thank you ladies for a reliably great experience read more

Second time I've had a bad experience here and I don't really have time for this. This is my pedicure I got on Monday. Today is Wed and I've done absolutely nothing but lay on my couch and recover from a recent surgery yet blanket is rubbing lines into the nail polish that never seemed to harden, and somehow the nail polish is coming off my toes. Friends nails also bad, filled with imprints- very disappointing. read more

Fancy Nail Salon - worse in real life-both 3 toes chip 1 day never hardened still sticky $more, no one asked - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

This is my go to place! I have my nails, leg waxing, and pedicures done here. Each and every time -- the services are excellent. The staff could not be more well trained, more gracious and more kind. The salon is beautiful and from the moment anyone arrives you can't help but feel like you are safe and you will receive the best services. My gel manicures last way past two weeks; and what with me doing needlepoint and knitting -- that is just amazing. My pedicures are so relaxing and the big joke is when will I next change my color as I have been wearing the same color for years -- and all they do is just change it for me. Fancy Nails is a great Salon -- and if anyone says anything different -- they are just being difficult!! I have been going there for over eight years! read more

I hate getting pedicures because I have really sensitive feet, but I went here and Vilma did my pedicure and she did such a great job. She was so gentle and sensitive to the fact that my feet were twitching a lot of the time, she was just really kind and I appreciate that a lot. My pedicure came out wonderfully. read more

Fancy Nail Salon - Pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Excellent and lovely staff. I've been going for two years when we moved to Avon. Pedicures, chair massage and eyebrows.

Walked in and got a great gel fill immediately for a very affordsble price. Salon was very clean, and the selection of gel colors was vast

I am visiting from out of town and needed a pedicure. This was the 1st place I saw so went with it. The good - I didn't have to wait and the pedicure was decent. The bad - when she came back to the drying area I was seated at with my receipt I noticed a "tax". Not being from Connecticut I asked about the tax. She said it was because I paid by credit card? If she would have told me that as I handed her my card I would have just paid cash. I'm guessing it's their way of passing the credit card processing charge onto their customers. After she brought my receipt up to the desk, she came back and walked behind me. I thought she was trying to get by me. But then I felt her hands on my back. She was giving me a massage!??!? She didn't say anything in advance. I had no idea this was going to happen because I had only requested a basic pedicure. She massaged me for 1-2 minutes. This was a creepily unexpected surprise. I can't say I would recommend this place to anyone based on my experience. Like I said the pedicure was decent but the rest was weird. read more

Fancy Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

The cleanest place we have in Avon. They are friendly and actually talk to you - instead of each other. I am glad they are getting back to more staff since COVID. What everyone in town loves about this place is: 1) CLEAN - the whole place and the new packaged tools they use. 2) NO WAIT 3) FRIENDLY 4) FAIR PRICES ... and of course the neck massage !! Keep up the Great Work !! read more

Outstanding service, friendliness, attention to detail, and quality work. I will definitely return there often. They do excellent work with excellent attitude and professionalismv read more

Quite possibly the best pedicure I've ever had. Came in for a mani/pedi and also eyebrow wax. I had made an appointment which didn't end up being necessary. The inside is very spacious, clean and bright. A woman named Moon did my pedicure, manicure and waxing. By far the best pedicure I've ever had- the "normal" pedicure came with hot stones, an amazing leg and foot massage, and warming scrub. The massage chair was great too. Manicure was just as good. I only gave 4 stars because my eyebrow wax seemed very rushed, although it came out just fine. Also, other reviews indicated that if you paid cash you would get a 5% discount- I paid all cash but did not get any discount, which was disappointing- I went to the ATM prior to my appointment based on that tip. Regardless, I'll still go back whenever I'm in the area because it was worth every penny! read more

just needed to get my toe nails cut (this was not a pedicure. no polish, no soaking, no mosturizer, no foot and leg massage, nothing, just cut the nails and she washed and dried the toes at the end). Last time it was $10. Now it is $20. When I complained the staff said "price increase". That's one heck of a price increase. This took no more than 8 minutes. Will never go back. read more

Best manicure I have gotten in the Farmington valley! Beautiful job. And all of the staff are friendly. They were even walking the clients to their car with an umbrella to keep them dry in the rain read more

Fancy Nail Salon - Gel mani. OPI 89 - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Tried it out due to not having time to visit my go-to in Torrington. Called ahead and was told a gel fill was $30. When it came time to pay I was charged $45. My nails are not square like i'd asked for them to be. They are bumpy, uneven, and different lengths. The sides of my nails aren't even painted. Would not recommend. read more

I went here on the recommendation of my wife, who has been here before for manicures and pedicures. It was time to pamper my feet so we called ahead and they said come on down The salon looked moderately upscale and was well-maintained. The one thing I immediately noticed was a battery of 10 pedicure chairs. I felt comforted that this was one of their specialties, and being a male in a largely female serviced industry, I needed all the comfort I can get! There was some confusion as to who my technician was supposed to take care of. Eventually he settled down and started taking care of me, although he quietly muttered a few things under his breath, leading me to believe he was disappointed that I was a guy, adding to the level of discomfort I was always experience by being the only male person at a spa at any given time. He offered me a menu of several different options. This was new, as I had always just put my feet in the bath and let them have at me lol. Being not to pedicure savvy, I chose the least expensive one, at $55, Which included and herbal treatment set and five minutes of hot rock massage. The gentleman was as meticulous as one would expect in a professionally run shop, even taking the time to make sure the nail on the big toe on my right foot was trimmed down the side to prevent irritation. I was impressed with his methods, and the results were quite good. Bottom line, I would go back, and hopefully would feel less over time that I stick out in a crowd. read more

We were in town for wedding dress shopping to get a manicure / pedicure. Walked in and were asked to come back as they were short handed. BEST THING WE EVER DID WAS RETURN! Two of us got pedicures and the staff couldn't have been more personable and very attentive to detail. My daughters got manicures and my youngest that has been to many salons couldn't stop talking about her beautiful manicure for the price. We plan on using them before my daughters wedding. read more

I'm giving two stars because they did a good job. However, in no way shape or form should a gel mani + pedi cost over $100! I am DUMBFOUNDED. Usually my nails don't even cost that much when I get the fancy new gel tips. This was basic mani bed with gel polish, no added tips. Idk how or why anyone is paying these prices. read more

Have been coming here for a couple months after giving my nails a "breather". They are always accommodating and extremely friendly. This evening was the 1st time getting to know the owner who did my nails. She was very personable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Fancy Nails and give them 5 stars!!!!! read more

Ehh. Disappointed today. I went in to get my gel manicure removed. I guess they didn't want to just remove my gel, because two people asked if I wanted a regular manicure...so I said, no problem- I'll just get clear nail polish. I really wanted to give my nails a break. Joy came over and started removing my gel. Throughout the process, she said, "oh my god" under her breath at least three times, complaining that it was stuck on and had a hard time coming off. Really rude. I guess she continued to be frustrated, because then she was SO rough- not only filing really hard, but also digging her own nails into my fingers and squeezing my fingers really hard. It was quite a painful experience. after she got the gel off, she cut my cuticles and then put on one coat of nail nail hardener. I would hardly call it a manicure. Then, at the end, she gave me a 20 second (no, seriously) massage at the drying table and charged me $20. I think charging me $20 was so ridiculous, considering a manicure is $15. I would have expected to be charged $15 at the most! I didn't even get a real manicure. I won't be coming back here. read more

This is a wonderful nail salon! They are taking every step to ensure that cleanliness is always maintained and every client is screened before they are allowed into the salon. Every service is performed perfectly; and all of their people are kind, thoughtful and aim to please. I had my acrylics filled today; my friend had a gel manicure and pedicure today. Both of us are very happy! While we did witness someone come in and express dissatisfaction--it was obvious that she had insisted on a service that was not appropriate for her. But, the owners handled her with great finesse and resolved the issue wonderfully well. Fancy Nail is exceeding all the COVID guidelines to ensure that everyone is safe; service safe performed effectively, efficiently, safely and yet you feel pampered and wonderful. It is good to be back! Fancy Nail is the place to go! read more

I don't usually leave reviews but I was so upset and hurt when I left this salon that I called my mom to let out my frustration before I was able to drive. I went in to get a pedicure and the whole time I felt so embarrassed and upset when I had no reason to feel that way. The lady acted so disgusted the whole time and her co worker kept coming to look at my nails and acting the same way. She also didn't give me a full pedicure. No lotion, no massage, no nothing. Just the cuticles and nail polish. Then when she was done she turned off the massage chair without saying a word and directed me to the drying station. I then left with wet nails because she walked up to me not even 5 minutes later and asked if I could pay. Then proceeded say she could take the card for me and bring it back. I declined because I don't feel comfortable handing my card to somebody who was so incredibly disrespectful. So I paid and left. Worst experience ever. I do not recommend. read more

Honestly, I'm not a fan. After visiting here, I'm seriously bummed that I strayed from my regular spot in Simsbury. I got in quick enough, but once in the chair, I was told I couldn't use the color i'd chosen because it was part of a special set that was misplaced with all the other colors. Fair enough. After I picked a similar color, the lady doing my manicure went about working on my feet as though I had horse hooves. Not to sound like a complete snot bag, but i regularly get pedicures so my feet aren't in too rough of shape, but holy moly, this pedicure hurt. Instead of soaking my feet first, she took what looked like your typical kitchen cheese grater to my DRY skin. Ouch!! The products she used in the foot soak irritated my skin and my legs were burning until everything was washed off. Half way through the pedicure, the lady doing my feet noticed one of her regular customers walking in so she basically shut off and quickly finished with me, ignoring me and getting up twice to make sure her next customer was comfy and waiting for her. She moved me to the drying station, picked up my bag off the floor next to me, threw it in my lap and said "you pay now". Wow. I was speechless. I have never been treated this poorly before in a place that is still in business. The atmosphere here is relaxed, but if I ever come back (highly unlikely) and the lady who helped me offers to do my pedicure, I will politefully decline. read more

Okay, I'm a dude and I'm writing about a nail place. Yes. You read that correctly. I was in town visiting the family with my girlfriend and she wanted to take me to get a pedi as she couldn't stand my rough feet in bed anymore. I'm comfortable in my own skin (Dove soap reference) so I was up for it. The service here was great, and the outcome was also positive. I enjoyed the foot wash and scrape - and based on my gf's comments, apparently they did a really good job. The chair massage was okay, but the care I got with my feet was wonderful. I was anticipating them to break out the chain saw on my nails (like in Dumb and Dumber- ha!) but they had the tools to take care of a pair of feet that were neglected for many many many years. This place is dude approved! read more

Brought my sister here for a birthday pedicure. It was the first visit to this salon for both of us. Didn't have an appointment, but we only waited a few minutes. We must've shown up at a good time because about 10 minutes into our pedicure, the place was packed. Good thing the place is so spacious and well-laid out! I really, really loved my pedicure. I've been to what seems like a kazillion salons throughout Western MA and Southern CT, but this is my favorite. I'm so jealous my sister lives closer to this salon than I do! My tech scrubbed my worn down feet without tickling me which was awesome. He was really kind when I had to request that he wash off the scrub on my legs because my sensitive skin started to freak out. The polish job is perfect, the shoulder massage was amazing (I got goosebumps!), and I'm really looking forward to a return trip!! read more

I LOVE THIS NAIL SALON. I have gone to, literally, every nail salon in the Farmington Valley and this is the best. Your manicures, pedicures and wax jobs are perfect. The wait is never long, even on a Friday or Saturday. Their manicures last about 1 1/2 weeks, maybe 2 full weeks if you are not constructing brick buildings by hand!!! Their pedicures last about 3 weeks, around the time you would get another one. At Christmas time, they give you gifts and they always have coffee, tea and water. I don't know anyone's name and don't have a favorite. They are all good. This salon is not cheap, but it is affordable and the best. Enjoy! read more

One of the worst places I've ever been too, they cut my girlfriends finger and the "older lady that was practicing" told my girlfriend that the cut was there already.and the best thing was when she tried to use clear nail polish for glue for her nail set. My girlfriend politely asked her to take the set off because they were all different lengths... crooked. And they still charged me 60$ money wasn't the issue, it was the poor service and rudenesses. If you're trying to relax and get your nails this isn't the place. read more

I had a good experience here. They work hard to get everyone in I think the owner even did my mani pedi. The combined price was 47. The place is big and clean and everyone is very friendly. read more

For the most part this is a great nail salon. I'm only giving them 2 stars because I'm a regular customer and just because I don't have gel nails or more expensive procedures I constantly get the most inexperienced staff members. I've made appointments each time I visit and each time when a customer comes in for certain services they switch me to someone that does inferior work. The manager spoke with me and offered me a free service but it's not about the money. When I go to a salon as a regular customer I expect good service and a relaxing experience and I don't think that is the case with them any more. read more

Good pedicures, run about $32 for a basic pedi. Avoid the after pedi or mani 'massage', which is just someone mindlessly pounding on your back. It hurts, and it's not actually a massage. Also, seek out the more mature employees, as the Asian girls there are careless (the one I got the first time I went here was actually gazing out the window as she was doing my pedi), while the older ones take their time and give some attention to what they're doing. 'Eric' is a particularly good person for pedicures here. But again, take a pass on the 'massage'. read more

Fancy Nail Salon - Salon from suiting while getting my toes done - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Second time I've been here and again I'm disappointed. First time the guy was very rude and seemed bothered by my requests, albeit simple requests. The other day I went, a different gentleman did my gel nails and couldn't get my thumb correct. Ended up with 4 coats on my thumb and 2 coats on all other nails. Within 2 days 5 nails needed to be redone bc of chipping. This also included the 4 coated thumb that looked like it had a clump under it. They had difficulty matching my color and the nail tech was trying to tell me that once it dried the color would be the same... totally different color. Bottom line, I wouldn't go back between the rudeness and incompetency. read more

I love this place!! For 2 years I was dating my boyfriend who lived in Avon while I was in Boston... I would only get manicures when I came down to visit every other week because this place is sooooo good! Everything is clean, the employees are nice, and never a long wait. I love that as soon as you arrive they put your personal belongings (purse, jacket...) in a basket so that they can carry it for you while your nails are wet. While getting services you are offered water, tea, and coffee which really sets them apart. (A least for most Boston salons) I've recently relocated to CT and love that I can go anytime now!! read more

I've been coming here since I received a recommendation from a neighbor for almost two years. I've never experienced anyone working here being rude. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and courteous. The owners are fantastic and always pleasant and appreciative of their customers. Wonderful place! read more

I have never been more disappointed with a salon experience. The staff were really rude, and often have been , unfriendly, rush through their treatments, and recently what made it worse, was there was no empathy from anyone when I walked in with a serious debilitating injury, to even ask how I was feeling, to show caring, to help me, in fact nobody helped me, they just treated me like an object, and I have often felt extremely disrespected in this salon. I am never going to return there. read more

The employees here are the nicest people I've ever met. They truly care about the quality of their service and making sure it's a great experience and that you're happy. They give 110% when it comes to their job. I've never have more thorough pedicure in my life and my feet have never felt so soft. I would definitely come back to this salon for more services! read more

Went to the salon for a Mani and polish change on our toes (myself and me daughter) it was horrible. Worse job ever for the most money!!! Nails painted on Sunday chipped by Tuesday and I always wear gloves to wash dishes. Never again read more

Wanted to kill some time while visiting my brother for the weekend (and desperately needed a mani). Found this place as we were driving & so glad we stopped in! Salon is gorgeous and clean, no line, and I never felt like they were rushing us. It's a little more than I usually spend at home in NJ, but was WELL worth it! read more

Went here with a bridal party the day before the wedding and had a great experience! Maira did a great job with my gel manicure. The salon is very spacious, clean, and comfortable- I didn't notice any of the chemical smell of some salons. The only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is that one of the techs was a little brusque/rude to a member of our party. read more

Welcoming atmosphere, clean and well kept. Friendly employees who are knowledgeable and efficient. Very happy with my experiences here especially with Chris and Lori who have taken such care with my nails. Thank you. read more
