I had my nails done here for my graduation last year. They ended up looking nothing like the picture I showed the person working on my nails. I think that they kept messing up the crescent part of the French tip and just drew over it instead of trying again. The workers are very nice and I like that they offer massages after manicures, but my nails never turn out the way I want. read more

Lavender Nail Spa - the reference photo i showed them - Nail Salons Near Me - Schenectady, New York

went to get eyebrows done, had someone who seemed to be already in a bad mood, my very roughly cut off then grab tweezers didn't even seem like she tried to catch hairs and caught just my skin and I screamed out. She then passed me a mirror and said I was done. I said no I am not. I look like when I came in. She said you are I for you. I said I to have them done. took my $20 and then walked over to another worker who ended up bringing me back into the eyebrow room to calm me down and stating no no no you're not finished. I will finish them for you at this point. My eyebrows are in such pain and she had to go over them multiple more times. She did do her best to recover them, but she had to make them skinny, also causing irritation to my eyes after this, the other woman never brought my change back, so the woman who my eyebrows, had to take it out of the drawer and the woman who took my money, was standing at the front laughing in my face this was one of the worst experiences I It took a lot for me not to allow this woman to make me act out of character. I am now sitting in urgent care for the pain and waiting to find out if I'm having reaction. and was not refunded my money. wish I could add photos so I could show you how bad it is. read more

I went to Lavendar Nails & Spa for the first time today. I just moved to the area and this was my second salon I had been to. Customer service was good. The service itself was good. I'm very picky with how things have to look perfect especially my nails/ Toes are very important to always look pretty because it makes me feel sexy. I communicate with something I don't like and the nail technician listened. Rating 4 Stars because they pay attention to detail. read more

I've been coming here for years at this point. I'm always happy with the look of my feet (I only get pedicures) and the prices are average for the area, even if they have gone up. The spa pedicures are nice, although what you get varies depending on who is providing the service. However, it's always fine as a baseline, and sometimes great. The space is clean and people are friendly. I always bring my own polish, so I can't speak to that aspect. read more

I have always come to this place and have had a great experience each time. I came in with a friend this afternoon, we both asked for the same type of pedicure. The man that was doing mine didn't do several of the things outlined in that pedicure, watched the tv for the entire time he was massaging and did the exact same circle movement on the back of my calf for the entire time, to the point where it hurt quite badly. He did not shape my nails whatsoever and overall did a very bad job. My pedicure lasted half the amount of time that my friends did and I even started after her. Despite not getting the full service, I was charged for it. Very disappointing as this was my favorite place to go and now I am not sure I will return. read more

Made an appointment and they actually took me a little early. Had tips put on and had ANC. She did a fabulous job and was very friendly. I even got a back and neck massage. Another woman did my mother's nails and she was very patient with her. We both received a tube of hand cream as a Christmas gift! I will definitely return! read more

usually i like coming to this spa due to convenience because it is close to where i live. but my most recent experience was bad. and i don't think i will come back here for at least a manicure. i came in for ANC removal manicure and a regular pedicure. the nail tech, not sure their name, clipped my nail way too short to the point it started bleeding and burning. i told her that it hurts and she still clipped my nail skin off. after that my nail experience sucked because my nail was just burning the entire process! never again. as a nail tech, you should be more mindful and careful. everyone's nail bed is different. wether she cut me or not to be honest, the whole experience felt rushed and not relaxing. i also feel like i was charged too much for the service i got since i did not get any polish. read more

Gooood, good service and vibes was a good place to go and get a manicure done. They got me in fast

EVA is absolutely THE BEST and I plan to see her monthly for my pedicures read more

Very happy with this spa. friendly accommodating and nails and pedicure are very good!

Went in for a basic pedicure and the lady was arguing that I had to do the more expensive treatment. I just had an exfoliation last week and I do keep up with my feet on my own. I had to raise my voice because she kept telling me I had to get another treatment which by the way is what happens every time I go there. Secondly, she was rough, and she cut my toe. It was a HORRIBLE experience and she rushed through everything. It used to be nice there. Not anymore. read more

The lady who did my nails didn't ask whether I wanted round or square and gave me a massage when I said "no thank you". Also, she straight up asked for a tip. The friend who I was with, she had her nail files so much that it made her skin raw and bled. Also, her nails were just like rushed. read more

Love this place. Great manis and pedis. Definitely check it out. Parking is great and color selection is spectacular.

This place isn't anything massive or fancy but DO NOT let that deter you. I came in as a walk in, picked my color and was seated in less than 10 minutes. The lady was friendly and sweet!!! She moved quick but did extremely well with everything. One of the best nail shapes I've gotten in a long time. She made sure everything was to my liking. She put a sugar scrub on my hands, gave me a quick lotioned hand massage and when everything was done, as my nails were drying I got a shoulder/neck massage. read more

I have been coming to this salon for about 2 years now. The staff is very courteous and kind. They all do a very nice job. The pricing is very fair. It's usually never too busy the you can't even get in. I really enjoy this place. read more

This place is my all time favorite nail salon. The staff here are just the nicest, kindest, most thoughtful people. Plus, their pedicures are the perfect length and they always doing a great job. My mom has a disability and they always go out of their way to accomodate her and ensure she has the best experience. They made pedicures possible for her when it wasn't feasible at any other place. Truly remarkable business. I bring all of my friends here and will continue to support them as long as I live in the area!! read more

Every clean interior to this salon. I felt very welcomed on entering. The prices were decent. I loved that the clippers etc used on my nails were in a sterile package. Most fungal infections are caused by nail salons because of reusing the same tools without sterilizing them between clients. The woman that did my nails were very sweet. I went in for a gel manicure and she even massaged my shoulders while my nails were drying and did a skin scrub on my hands as well. The only thing I was not a fan of is her skills. Nails are lumpy and the corners were missed. I did tip her because she was very kind and she really took her time read more

I've been here a couple of times. The staff are always friendly. My girlfriend and I didn't have much of a wait time for our pedis. I didn't feel rushed through the pedicure process. It was nice and quiet, this is probably a "go-to" salon for many as it is always busy when I come. It's a very clean and relaxing atmosphere. Also, the prices are very reasonable. The drying station is GREAT! You don't go to many salons drying station and actually feel the air from the fan. The only reason I'm giving a 4 star rating is because most of the nail polish is "watered down". Which makes for a not so long lasting mani/pedi. The reason I know this is because you'll see the nail polish bottles crackle. I always look for the nail polish that doesn't have a crackle look on the paint so I can ensure my pedi lasts longer. read more

Overall disappointed with the skills of my nail tech. Look at these cuticles. I just had this done yesterday. At least they were super nice to my friends 5-year-old and she had a great time. read more

I love that place!!! May is the best! I never had acrylic nails for more than 5 days, May does amazing job and they last at least 2 weeks! I strongly suggest this place read more

Great place! Get pedis and friends get manis. Need appt. Always busy. Very relaxing. Full service.

I love Lavender nails. I go here every two weeks to get a pedicure and a fill or a full set. I let anyone do my feet but only Sherri can do my nails. Normally I take pics for her to do my nails like the pics but today she told me to sit down and she finessed my nails. The place is always clean and all the workers are so friendly. read more

On my way to get my nails done (after a month) someone complimented them. Not a fancy place but I like it. I recommend getting ANC

Giving "3 stars" because I've had a number of "okay" experiences there. BUT Today , today was absolutely horrible! The person who did my pedi(gel) was absolutely so uninviting and made me feel like I didn't belong there. From the second I walked in I told her I wanted a gel pedi and ANC nails .. she told me it was 20 dollars more for the gel on my toes, I said okay and smiled. Picked the color for my anc and sat down to do my pedicure the water was cold because apparently I took too long picking a color for my nails(there's tons to choose from) she proceeded to rush through my pedicure without even asking what sort of "spa" pedicure I wanted. Then informed me once again that gel is 20 dollars more. As if I didn't already agree to the price. Fast forward... I didn't even get my nails done I paid for my toes and left I'll never go back there ever again 50 dollars just to leave upset and a little embarrassed read more

They got us right in for three mani/pedi's. They did a great job and were super friendly. However I noticed they didn't clean the pedicure tubs between customers, or use new nail files. Also they cut my nails and I wouldn't have wanted that, but they may have asked and I misunderstood. We all got regular manicure and pedicures, so I can't speak to ANC or gel. But I noticed they had an enormous selection of both. read more

My nails are jacked up. I have holes with nothing, what I do have is bumpy. The purple isn't solid, I've been given an impromptu French without asking. Waited 55 minutes to get in a chair, fingers wrapped 35+ Minutes. I don't have finger prints. If I hadn't complained my entire thumb print would've been gone. 75 minutes from walk in to service. I mean actual nails between when they alluded to a person coming "soon" to do mine. Charges are wrong, as I needed tips and anc, my friend just anc, both charged the same. Used to like it. Now I don't. I'd rather have broken from Bella nails. And the irony, I paid $50 for this!! read more

Lavender Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I've never written a bad review before but I am so upset with my experience. I will preface this by saying I have been consistently going to lavender for almost a year and have always loved it. I had a tech yesterday I've never seen so I assume they're new. They were so rough with me that I now have open cuts on every single one of my finger tips (and kept going after knowing she nicked me and I said it was rough). I work in a hospital and now I have small open cuts on every single finger and can't even keep band aids on as I'm washing my hands constantly. On top of how rough she was, my nails straight up look terrible. They're unevenly filed, smudged on top, one fingernail has white marks on it she kept trying to fix and then just gave up and finished my nails. And- the color was not the one I chose. I truly just don't want this to happen to anyone else because now can't even get my nails redone for the event I have to go to because they're painful. But I wish I could bc they're so sloppily and hastily done. You shouldn't leave the nail salon upset and in pain and I'm just really frustrated about this experience. read more

got short French tip nails and was charged 80 dollar. then a week later the polish started chipping and cracking off def not worth the price at all. very overcharged and not good quality. find a better place to go to read more

As always, I wish Yelp had 1/2 stars because I would actually give this place a 3.5. Service was fine, i didnt wait to be seated, the girl who worked on nails really took her time and I was satisfied with the results. In fact, it's been about 2-3 weeks and my pedicure still looks phenomenal. My reason for a 3.5 are because of the inconsistencies. I went with 2 other friends and we all ordered pretty much the same thing, mani and pedi but all for 3 different types of service. One got a leg massage, one got a back massage, our time lengths were different even though we started about the same time. These inconsistencies could be minor and I could be knit picking but I am who I am right. One of my friends tonight a nail file the technician used was one that was lying around because she did not see it come out of a new package but we weren't 100%. I tend not to spend money of these types of things but if I did this place is still a possibility for me to go back to. Again, all was okay. The service was good and the TV was on pop culture which is a serious weakness of mine. 3.5 is a pretty average rating and I stand by this one. read more
