She took time to do the massage and it felt great. One thing i wasnt told before and they did it while paying was they added 5$ for the color which was very shady because they asked me to pickup from that lot when i entered without mentioning the additional charge.

I was able to quickly book an appointment here calling two hours in advance. I highly recommend the milky pedicure it was incredible. They also were very quick and were able to get me in and out in under an hour and a half which included massage! They did a fabulous job. I usually get dip, but since I wanted to be quick, I knew that gel was the way to go, and the gel is lasting longer than it usually does on my nails! The color options were superb and the price point was very comparable to the area if not below. You definitely get your moneys worth here! thank you to my nail tech. You were wonderful!

Whether I'm getting gel nails, cat-eye designs, or nail art, she always brings my ideas to life beautifully.

If you're looking for high-quality gel manicures, nail art, or cat-eye nails in a relaxing atmosphere, I highly recommend Nails by TL!

Kris was excellent for my first time at this salon. She is not considered one of the top Nail Techs…read morewhen you book online, but her attention to detail was exceptional. She used the color I brought with me even though it's not her regular formula and it took two (nail wipes) to figure it out --my nail polish was slightly thinner than the formula she's used to. I offered to use one of her colors but she said it was fine. I am so thoroughly pleased to find a salon that goes above and beyond, when it comes to prep work. (A little over an hour before she began gel application) Kris was meticulous with hard gel & polish application, as well as clear coat. I will use her exclusively when I'm back in town. -side note: she doesn't chat with you, which is a major plus if you need to decompress or catch up on a show The vibe is clean & sterile with green velvet seats: not much in the way of decor but they provide phone stands with WiFi. (Give yourself two hours for a hard gel manicure if you already have product on your nails.)

The salon has a comfortable, relaxing ambiance, and the staff were very welcoming when I arrived. My appointment took about three hours, which included removal, hard gel application, cuticle cleanup/care, and white tips. Kris was incredibly thorough and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. She even went back and redid small details on her own just to make sure everything was perfect--without me having to ask. What I appreciated most was that she never rushed the appointment. She took her time to make sure my nails looked flawless and even stayed late to finish everything properly. I'm so in love with this set. Kris is truly talented I hope she gets recognition for her hard work!

Where do we start with this establishment? I've been coming here for about 15yrs..I was in my mid…read more20's when I was introduced to Cindy & Alex. When I first started coming here, they were very nice. They use to put a lot of effort into their work, The passion was there. However, over the years the quality of service has gotten worst with each passing year. First of all the shop is "Matchbox" size and can hold about 20 people including workers, you would think all the millions she's made there over the years she would have upgraded her space, cause the prices surely have inflated over the years. I use to spend $125 bi-weekly for a full set, pedi, eyebrows and lashes! Now the prices aren't even posted, YOU PAY WHAT THEY SAY! The gel selection is POOR & LIMITED, the "By appt" techs are sloppy and money hungry(Randy cut me twice) Did you know you can get an infection from being cut while being rushed out the chair for the NEXT PAYING CUSTOMER!?? ...But that's the shop as a collective and for the water down gel you slinging, y'all should be a bit nicer(In your profession & manners) There's no amount of wall paper or air freshener that will cover up this scam of a business. Cindy and Alex were a staple in the community, however they are TOO comfortable with mediocrity for me! I'm gonna take my coin downtown for a RUSSIAN manicure, where they cut your cuticles because it's part of the service. Don't EVER think you getting your cuticles cut(UNLESS ITS A PEDICURE) or a massage here!! NOPE! They would NEVER!!! Dishwashing liquid for bubbles, wild cuticles and stomped on GEL... this is not the 80's!! We want our gel PURE.. lol If this was 2001, I would probably recommended this business, but it's 2023..and I wouldn't refer them to my worst enemy! Customer service is key in any thriving business. Avenue Nails on Lexington Ave is lacking in that department. Invest in some NEW GEL ALREADY! Invest in a spot that can hold all 50 of us when you in there being careless and rude! That's the least you could do after all these years. You gonna lose all of your good paying customers soon enough Ms..waited 20yrs to put a credit card machine in the place cause you wanted to avoid taxes!! We're sick of your BAD SERVICE...and I'm so grateful for places like Yelp & TikTok where customers can let others know where NOT to spend our hard earned coin. 0 STARS for me! All good things must come to an end and this is the end for me! FYI.. Top Nails right across the street has plenty of room, a larger gel selection and they cut and massage & it's spotless! Go figure!!!!

2nd UPDATE - Aug:: Totally forgot review/left it alone. But a month later the owner left me a very…read morerude message saying that I should blame myself. Though I didn't see them thoroughly clean or sanitize anything between customers they simultaneously worked on in that dirty salon. She didn't even apologize for the bad customer service, the state of the place, the length of time it took for basic full set or overcharging for basic services they didn't correctly do. Not deleting this review now. Dear owner, deleted your message and blocked you... good luck sis, stay blessed. UPDATE:: took off my nail and got a freaking fungus infection..... don't go to this dirty salon!!!!!!!!!! First off. It took two hours to get my nails done today. Walked in at 10:30 walked out at 12:30!!!??? Ridiculous. At first told the wait was 15 minutes. But then they take other clients while they do your nails. The place isn't that clean and they charge for dumb things. I paid $10 for nail removal when they did nothing but soak them and I took them off myself. So I basically walked out paying almost $50 for very basic full set acrylics. To add to it the process was so long even after I explained I'll leave with a half job so I could make it to my plane on time.

I have to admit I've been to her several times and was extremely pleased with the work done. I typically get a gel manicure and it was lasting for weeks! That being said, Xixi isn't always there. I actually stopped going here bc it's not exactly the most convenient nail salon to my apartment. But after many many disappointments I decided to go back. This time I had Mae. I now go out of my way to come here for a gel manicure! My nails always last for WEEKS. This most recent time I made it 3 weeks and didn't actually NEED to go I just felt my nails grew too long and i couldn't type normally at work I am sad to see such poor reviews because I've had such a great experience! Hopefully this will help change your mind bc I really believe that this place is a hidden secret!

I get gel mani and pedicures here and haven't had an issue. My gel lasts and I come out admiring my nails for days. Pro - location, price, spacious for a smaller spot w/o feeling over crowded or rushed. Walkins are accepted but it's good to make an appointment. Con - up a flight of stairs. This is not a huge con but at far as accessibility it's the city and common but something to be aware of. It's worth it to come up the stairs. I honestly don't have anything bad to say it's a decent nail salon. It's a great place for a self care day. B/c of the location it's close to restaurants and shopping. You can make it a day of pampering and self care.

I feel like she really took her time and it didn't feel rushed! The not as good: Unfortunately, my gel manicure was pretty rushed. The hand massage that came with it was no more than 15 seconds per hand, and I'm used to a brief 2-3 min shoulder massage after a manicure and didn't get that. Not sure if that's typical of salons in n, but for me it was unusual! The most unfortunate part of the manicure was that it hasn't lasted very long at all. I got a gel manicure and by the next day the sides were already lifting on three nails. Pics were taken 3 days after the manicure and you can see lifting on every nail but my pinkies. Disappointing :( Tbh I haven't decided if I'd go back yet...
