Unfortunately, I am now looking for another nail salon because of my experience at Blink. For a…read morecouple of months, Blink was the only nail salon I was going to. They destroyed my nails. I originally came in for a gel manicure and mentioned that gel never seems to last very long on my nails. The nail technician told me that my nails weren't strong enough and recommended acrylic to make them stronger. I trusted his professional opinion and decided to give it a try. A couple of months later, during one of my appointments, I noticed that after the gel was filed off, there was green discoloration and what appeared to be fungal growth underneath the acrylic on one of my nails. I brought it to his attention, and he said that moisture must have gotten trapped underneath. I immediately asked him to remove the acrylic, which he did. What really concerned me was that after removing it, he was preparing to put another acrylic set right back onto that same nail. I expected him to address the green growth or at least leave the nail alone until the problem was resolved. Instead, he was ready to cover it up again. At that point I asked him to take them all off. That's also when I got a good look at my natural nails. They were extremely thin and weak--like wax paper. Every single one of them bent easily. I couldn't believe the condition my natural nails were in. That was my sign that I would never go back. I went in trusting that I was doing something good for my nails, and instead I ended up with severely weakened natural nails and a green fungal-looking growth on one of them. Needless to say, this experience was extremely disappointing. After being a regular customer for a couple of months, I never expected to leave feeling like my natural nails had been damaged. I'm now looking for a nail salon that actually cares about the health of your natural nails instead of simply putting another set on top of a problem. If anyone knows a good nail salon in the Woodbridge area that genuinely takes care of your natural nails, please let me know!

It's hard to understate how terrible both of my experiences were here. First time I came for an…read moreappointment, it was for a new set of gel acrylics. the nails were misshapen and lengths were off. the colors I wanted were both unavailable so I settled for a color I was not happy with. The edges of my nails were sharp and i had to go home and file them down. I gave this salon another shot, and it ended up being a mistake. I asked for a basic manicure. I made it very clear over the phone when booking the appointment, and I made it clear when I arrived at the front desk. The nail tech spent 10 mins trying to convince me to do gel. Why do I have to argue with you? I don't want gel. It ruins my nails. Finally she gives in. shapes my nails for about 30 seconds, cut 4 cuticles. the paint job was awful, almost like she was annoyed with me and chose to take it out on my nails. Also, as the base coat, she used an odd clear GREEN nail polish which I am certain made my nails chip the very next day. When she did my hand massage it consisted of her putting a glob of cream on my hand and pointing to me to rub it in my hands. She painted my nails and the color was all over my fingers. When she waved me over to the drying station I asked her to clean up my fingers, I asked for some nail polish remover since she did not want to do it. She ended up PAINTING MY SKIN WITH CLEAR NAIL POLISH AND SCRATCHING IT OFF WITH HER NAIL. I wish I was making this up. My feeling is the whole experience was intentionally awful since I asked for a basic manicure, and if that's your business model you should be ashamed of yourself. 0 stars.

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!

New safety precautions include: Waiting in your car for check-in, covid screening questionnaire beforehand, hand sanitizer and temperature taken at the door.

I shared an honest review regarding your management style few months ago concerning Vito Mazza's…read moreson, who interrupted a service being provided in order to correct the lady performing the service in front of me. He later questioned why my comment had not been deleted because he felt it was harassment. The replied was defensive supporting my previous observation of his management skills. I was subsequently banned from receiving services. My recommendation remains the same: managerial training would be beneficial. You can find training in YouTube. according to your own response , you leadership style comes across as dictatorial and dismissive of a customer review. Regardless of the number of employees managed, professionalism, communication, and emotional control are essential in any leadership role. The business was originally built by your father, who treated both customers and employees with professionalism and respect. When customers are banned for providing feedback, it reflects poorly on the culture of the business and ultimately impacts both customers and staff. In case you are not aware, there are many businesses that offer the same services. This is not about losing a customer, but about losing the opportunity to receive constructive feedback that helps a business improve. As a former loyal customer, I also recall overhearing workplace discussions during services that involved concerns from employees, including conversations related to their tip handling and management practices. These were not isolated comments, and they contributed to a broader impression of employee dissatisfaction. When internal concerns become visible to customers, it is worth reflecting on workplace culture and communication. If private conversations are not properly managed in a public-facing environment, customers will inevitably hear things that were not intended for them. I experienced this firsthand while receiving services. Reviews are intended to highlight experiences and opportunities for improvement. Responding to feedback by banning customers instead of addressing concerns does not minimize the fact of your poor managerial skills, in the contrary, is expose and supported by yourself. I am the perfect example on how your ego gets in the way. Instead of acknowledging the review, by a simple "thank you for the review, I'll be mindful next time." You are now sacrificing the earning of one of your employees because you ego got in the way . Thanks God for reviews, they show the true nature of people who minimize others just because they think they can and/or because they are the owner of the business. Tsk tsk.

Danny is always very pleasant, respectful, and makes sure every customer leaves happy, which is why we continue to come back. Unfortunately, when he's not present, there are serious issues with appointment scheduling. On two separate occasions, the other male employee made appointments for us, only to later say he forgot about another client who was already booked. Both times, we were turned away without any real effort to accommodate us. This has been especially frustrating because my mom recently had knee surgery, and it's not easy for her to keep going back and forth for appointments that were supposed to be confirmed. It shows a lack of organization and consideration for customers' time and situations. We truly appreciate Danny and the way he runs the salon when he's there, but the inconsistency when he's not present makes it difficult to rely on scheduled appointments. I hope this issue gets addressed because the salon has great potential with the right management in place.
