This is my 20th Year as a Customer! No manicurist ever dissapoints and all so Talented...Owners are kind & wonderful people too. Highly recommend.

I have had such great experiences at this salon. I made my appointment this time with Kim because my mom loves how she does her nails. Kim was so nice and she had so many ideas for cute designs that turned out amazing. I took this photo 6 days after I got the gel manicure done and they still look great. They are also taking a lot of precautions for COVID; temperature checks at the door and everyone is required to wash their hands as soon as they come in. It never feels packed or unsafe inside because there's a great distance between clients and they also have a plexiglass divider between you and the nail technician. I'll definitely be going back!

Dip powder $40 and amazing

Very impressed with Nails by US. Kim is very talented along with the woman in the first chair and shorter hair. They do an excellent color gel manicure $35 and also a gorgeous dip powder for $40 They have all the up to date OPI color collections which I appreciate. They are open on sundays and accept appointments. Clean facility!

I have been coming to Kim for quite sometime now and she always does a fantastic job. I love these so much I had to share. The place is a little busy and sometimes you have to wait, but I always trust that I will walk away pampered and happy. Lee, Kim and Delmy are great and I love coming here. You'll love it too!

They did an amazing job!!! I was from out of town and looking to get my nails done. I was turned away rudely by two other shops close by but they welcomed me with open arms! The ladies were super friendly and they did an amazing job on my nails and bringing my nail design to life!!! Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!!!

The hearts I got.

Used to be a good place but after this experience never come back. I wanted a French tip with some small hearts and a showed a few pictures then showed the main picture I found the inspiration from and it looks like crap. Probably something my daughter would do. I know it's been about 2 weeks but it still pisses me off as to how bad they look. Not sure what happened to this place but not coming back.

Six days later, THREE nails have broken off. I have never been so ridiculously overcharged for such a bull****, shoddy set of nails.

Blue Swan Nail Bar - What I asked for

I'm posting two reviews in one because I had started a review in June or July but didn't realize…read morethat it was still in draft when I came to post my experience from today. Sep 27, 2025: Rating 5 stars Today I came to get a pedicure which long overdue. Since it's my birthday I decided to go all out and get the Gold Mystique Spa Pedicure ( Definitely highly recommend this package! ) and gold chrome polish as the cherry on top! First of all, my nail tech, Eric, was *****AWESOME****!!!!!! He gave me the BEST 20 minute foot and leg massage. Strong and firm hands are what I prefer for rub downs, and he delivered! The execution of the pedicure and polish job was top notch as I always expect and receive at this salon. ----------- June or July 2025: Rating 3 stars For today's services I brought hubby with me for a couples pedicure session and last minute I opted for eyebrow waxing. Pedicure: Mint $40 + I have to give a special shout-out to Amy! Her attention to detail is amazing. She did my pedicure weeks ago, and I was genuinely surprised when she remembered me on my return visit - despite me having completely forgotten hers! That kind of personal recognition truly sets her apart. And, as always, the pedicure itself was expertly done. Though my eyebrows turned out alright, the service was subpar. The older gentleman who performed the waxing had a very gruff demeanor from the start. He entered the room and simply told me to lie down, neglecting to pull down a clean sheet of tissue paper for the headrest - it was visibly crumpled from a prior use. Worse, I detected a strong cigarette odor when he began applying the wax. After I mentioned it, he offered a half-hearted "sorry" but made no effort to wash his hands before continuing. I felt entirely disregarded and his lack of professionalism was very off-putting. I will certainly make sure to avoid him for any future services.

I sent the photo of the manicure I wanted to the nail tech about six hours before the appointment…read moreso that she could not only let me know if she can do it but also pull the colors needed and schedule enough time. I am attaching a photo of what I asked for and what I ended up getting. I feel that the photo I asked for was very elegant, and I feel that the result of what I got looked like a toddler did it. I've been here a number of times and have been fairly satisfied with the results although the technician that does my nails frequently catches an attitude, especially if you ask her to adjust something. She had said in the past that she's the professional and doesn't want anyone telling her how to do her job. She doesn't take feedback well at all. She had criticisms about the way that I was positioning my chair which was to turn it sideways each time She was doing one of my hands so that I could sit in a position that didn't hurt my back- not a big deal In my opinion. I wasn't switching back-and-forth between each nail. I was positioning myself when she was doing the beginning of the manicure, which was the cleaning and filing of each hand. When it got time to do the designs, I asked her if she can do the black design the way that it was in the photo which is to say the black French tips- some of them are curved, and some of them were pointed, and she did all of them pointed and very thin. This was after sitting in the chair for over two hours- she went to wipe all of the design off and I asked her not to do that. She said she didn't have time to do my designs and that I would have to leave with my nails plain. I told her that my time is valuable as well, and I had already sat there for two hours while she worked on a design that she obviously did not know how to do and from the looks of it did not make a very valiant effort. She said she can't copy the design 100%. I said I'm not asking for 100%. I'm just asking for the black French part to be a larger part of the nail as it is in the picture. I had to literally stop her from wiping everything off, and then she redid the tips which looked better than they did originally but still awful. The end of the manicure was tense. I did not appreciate that she did not respect my time and had me sitting there for over two hours and her resolution to it was to send me off with something that I did not ask for which was a plain manicure. I cut my losses and let her finish. She charged me $85 for this manicure which in my opinion she clearly overcharged. I will absolutely not be going back again. She is stressful to work with has an attitude and talks poorly about other people that have worked there. I don't mind paying extra for quality service, but this, like many nail salons, does not pass the vibe check after the first few appointments. If a person cannot do a design, then they should just say so not be annoyed with the customer because they have to do extra work. Charge me extra money if it's extra work, but I think it's reasonable to get what you're asking for when you go to get your nails done which is essentially a luxury service. The manicures I request are very intricate and I understand that but as a nail technician that is literally your job. If you can't do it, just say that you can't do it, but don't have someone sitting in your chair for over two hours only to attempt to send them home. I don't appreciate attitude and I don't appreciate my time being wasted. I also don't appreciate subpar results. I will continue looking for a better nail salon, where there is no attitude. Wish me luck! Signed, A well-paying customer.

I have tried many nails salons in this area but Lavo Lounge puts them all to shame! For a long time…read moreI was bouncing around from salon to salon. Some were great for a short while but after some time started falling short of my standards. That has not been the case here. I have been booking services at Lavo for around 5 months now and my nails have never looked better. For starters, they have an all-star receptionist. She is so kind and helpful and on top of her job! They are a very busy salon and yet I never have trouble booking an appointment. They are as accommodating as can be. Even when they miss my phone call, I instantly receive a call or text back. I have been serviced by several nail technicians and they are all so very talented. I never bother booking with a specific tech because I know that no matter who I see, they will do an amazing job I was recommended doing soft gel manicures and it has been the best decision ever made. My career is very physical so i would often have a lot of wear and tear on my nails but not with soft gel. The gel polish never chips and my nails have never been stronger. I am usually able to go 4 weeks with my nails still looking great but ready for a fill. I love this salon and as long as I live within a drivable distance I will never change. They are cash or zelle/venmo only. So be prepared. And in my opinion they are charging fairly for services considering the quality of the work. Thanks Lavo!

Loved my experience here. I don't get my nails done regularly so I just wanted. A simple mani pedi…read moreand I had a lovely time. The nail technician was thorough and meticulous. The vibe was friendly and pretty quiet. I got to watch some food network while I did my nails haha. Highly recommend!
