I even brought 2 gift certificates for family. All in all I'd patronize them again when I am in CT .

$25 mani/pedi Monday-Wednesday! They always do a great job!!!…read more I have always found Ava to be a pretty safe choice for the standard mani/pedi or gel-polish mani. By and large the folk who work here are friendly and do a great job (like any regular at a nail salon you get to have your favorite people). It can get quite busy and there have been a couple of times where the wait was just too long and I had to leave. But, always super clean and they give you the option to have a box with your own tools (file,clippers etc.)

I could've cried. I asked for a simple white French tip and I left with white taking up half my nails, the acrylic making a hill on my nails which also made them so wide, the cut off line for the white wasn't even close to straight they were honestly so messy...oh my god. The whole vibe in this place as well is just awkward and judgmental, like you're walking on glass around everybody. The nails took basically over two hours and most of the time was nail prep which did nothing but make my nails stay looking ugly. If you need your nails done, DO NOT COME HERE. I have been here before maybe twice and I just remember each time why I do not go there.

I was told I could only get one (which I was going to just walk out) but I decided to go with the manicure. The tech did a good job. As it was time to leave I was at the register next to another customer that asked if she could get a pedicure. For some reason they wanted me to pay prior to her (maybe because they were going to do her pedicure). I paid and waited for that customer to leave behind me. Never happened. Let's just say she most likely received all her services she requested. I won't return because this was my first time not getting all the services I requested. I don't want to say they were bad but what's right is right. Had I gotten all my requests I would've given them another chance. I must say the price was reasonable and there were many nail polish colors.

I thought I maybe died and went to heaven with the hot stones and the hot towel. He was great- made sure I left with the smoothest heels and well filed nails. I had a gel mani with Holly? Next. She was precise and intentional with the filing and painting. The best amount of pressure for a hand massage. I would have been cool with it lasting 30more minutes. Color selection was good for gel paint but I got the idea there may be a better selection with dip. Pricing was fair. Overall I think this place is 5 stars because it's VERY clean, relaxing environment and everyone was so attentive and polite. I love when I can get my nails done in a place that is friendly without being overly talkative. Relaxing and centering. I will be back. Like tomorrow. Lol jk- but soon!

I haven't gotten my nails done in a long time however I had gone quite frequently in the past to an amazing nail technician and place. One - it's very cold in there. Not too pleasant when you're sitting there for nails, and wearing fairly warm shoes. Two - the "quick dry" spray doesn't dry. Not to put your coat on isn't an option in the winter in New England. Having a place to dry your nails needs to be in place or atleast communicating to your client just sit here for x more minutes then we can check them. And lastly a smooth looking nail is expected when you pay for nails. I do my nails all the time at home the only different is that smooth finish you hope to achieve by a nail technician. The simple nail art did come out beautiful. Honestly, the salon itself is a no for me altogether with a less than average experience. I don't recommend it. I can be more specific of other issues but I honestly don't like leaving these kinds of reviews. I think the salon owner needs to pay more attention to details while there are far too many nail salons to choose from that capitalize on one of these issues. Maybe it was a bad first experience but i won't be returning.
