Avalon Nails

I usually love this place but today I got the worst manicure I’ve ever had. I gave the (very sweet and friendly) technician lots of instructions, I like them short but still longer than my normal nails, thicker white but NOT ½ white ½ clear, I SHOWED HER A PICTURE of a really good manicure I had recieved, and that that was exactly what I wanted. My thumbnail is crooked and ridiculously short, the white is too thick, and the lines are very messy. I of course still tipped for her service but am very very displeased with her work.

I used to think the shellac polish was a waste of $ until coming here. I’m averaging 16 days and having to get them done again only because my nails grow out too much.
Ask for Van. Not only is she the fastest, but she does the best job.

I’ve been going to Avalon Nails for about 2 years. Kristi does my nails and she does a wonderful job, I drive from Georgetown and pass many others shops, but this place is great. I get that Thomas is a bit rough, but he’s a genuine nice guy. Love this place and the warm wonderful environment they create.

My wife, daughter and I went to Avalon Nails for a fill, a manicure, and nail set. They took me right away and started my daughter too. my wife waited and after we were done they asked her if she still wanted her nails done? They never told us they could not handle all of us. She decided to stay and get hers done because that was the goal. They did such a bad job on my daughter and my wife they were both very unhappy and the time was totally messed up. They were so distort with the service their attitude and their nails they did not even go back to get them to fixed. We will just never go back. So be warned they were very bad. Very bad!!!

Very sweet staff. Nice atmosphere. Pedicure was great and they pay attention to your requests.

I thoroughly read the Unilocal reviews before I went. I understood that Tom would be rude if I ended up getting him.
I went on a Sunday AM and I guess the person who worked on me was Tom. I went in for a pedicure and an acrylic fill. I was put in a pedicure chair after choosing my color. A man comes in after a few minutes and takes his seat in front of me to start my pedicure. There was no «hi» or «hello», NOTHING! He said nothing to me until he asked where the color was that I chose. The pedicure was super mediocre and not worth going back for.
Moving on to the fill. Again, not much talk which normally I am okay with but just nothing at all. I don’t need a chatty person at all but some acknowledgement would be great at some point while I am there. I went in with a design that I wanted as I saw in the Unilocal reviews that they could do designs. He seemed annoyed at that after the woman who I originally showed it to seemed fine with it. He told me to pick the green I wanted (pre-​St Patty’s day) for the design. I chose a green. Apparently no one had chosen that color in forever as he had the hardest time trying to get it open and then ended up breaking the bottle of color. Again, he seemed annoyed. I opted for another green and off he went. The one star is that he did do a good job at the design even though it wasn’t the green I really wanted. Even though I have been trying to find someone to do good designs, I will NEVER go back to this place. EVER.
I will say that there is a woman there who I didn’t get her name, was doing pink & whites and she did a lovely job.
But my overall experience was so bad, I couldn’t see ever going back. I got to a point where I was about to get up and leave mid-​paint b/​c I felt like I was bothering him by being there.

I have been going to Avalon Nails for over 10 years for acrylics and pedicures. I love that there is little turnover in the staff, so when you make an appointment or walk-​in, they know you by name. Seems like small-​town USA when I go in there.
The salon has been recently updated with new equipment, flat screen tvs, etc. The place is clean.
My skin is sensitive, so I have to use a special lotion. They keep the bottle at the salon, so I don’t have to remember to bring it each time. When I come in, whoever waits on me gets it without me having to remind them.
Jenny and Tracy have been my go-​to ladies there.
I give this salon kudos for great service while maintaining moderate prices for over a decade.

Went there for 15 years … Tom always did my nails beautifully … But he became so rude and nasty to be around — I literally almost walked out of my pedicure the last time. Christi is super sweet and Tracy too. But beware — this treat can be miserable if you get Tom — haven’t been back

The décor lacks a lot but they are remodeling soon. Tracy does great acrylics. They are always super friendly when I’m there.

I’ve had my nails done by Jenny a few times and she is fantastic. My gel manicured nails never looked so good. Highly recommend!

I’ve been getting my nails done by Tom for years now. He has an attitude problem but I don’t let it get to me. We have the same dry humor so we get along. I appreciate the work he does. He had an artistic eye and does beautiful acrylics. If you can bare with his attitude I promise you won’t regret it.

Got a manicure today, Saturday morning. I had made an appointment for 9:30, and they took me right in, even though i was a little early. Jenny did my nails beautifully. I will definitely go back here. I would highly recommend this place. My friend has her acrylic fills done here by Christy, and she loves Christy’s work. The techs are kind and efficient. I have no complaints. Bravo!

Horrible Service!
These nail techs talk bad about their customers in their native language, I have left this review before but they have removed it. They are sloppy nail techs and speak bad about their customers I speak their language so I know what their saying, don’t go here their are so many better nail salons out there!

My boyfriend lives right down the road an I needed my shellac manicure redone, so I decided to give this place a shot. I walked right in and they went to work. I had to tell them to redo three nails because they weren’t filed down evenly. I also had to tell them to fix 2 nails because they got the shellac on the skin next to the nail in a very blotchy way. I’ve had shellac manicures from other places before and they always come out great, I don’t know why this place couldn’t get it right. Long story short, I don’t recommend it.

I have been going here for many years do to the convenience to my home but finally decided to drive a little further because of the incredibly rude treatment I received on more than one occasion. My daughter urged me to stop going here because of the poor customer service (particularly by one male employee). I’m so glad I switched. I now have a much more enjoyable and relaxing experience!

I love love love this shop! My guy is the only person I trust anymore to do my nails! He always does a fabulous job, & is always willing to do something unique & different! Also, he is entertaining to sit & talk too, which lets face it, is half the battle of finding someone you trust! Everyone here is always so nice & friendly! I will not be going anywhere else anytime soon! Definitely check this place out! Appointments are the best way to go so you do not have a long wait time! :)

Great friendly service. Clean, bright, short wait time. Definite find!

I have been going to Avalon for about 3 years, and have NEVER had a bad experience. Tom is hilarious and personable, with a very fiesty (but funny) personality. I get my eyebrows waxed here as well, and they always do an excellent job. Just recently (yes this is gross), most of my big toenail came off on my left foot because of an accident I had a few months ago. Needless to say, I was freaking out because it’s summer time and that’s a definite eyesore! I called Avalon and went in for a pedicure and Tracy put an acrylic on my big toe that matches my other one perfectly! It looks great and will give the other nail time to grow in without me having to worry about the appearance of my toe! Every manicure/​pedicure I get here is great! I would recommend to anyone!

Christy does a great job. I just moved here and have tried a few places. Now that i have found Christy I will not be looking for someone I can trust to do my nails. She does a fantastic job

I’ve lived right by this shop for years, but never tried them until this weekend. I got a shellac manicure, and it was done quickly (by appointment, which I recommend for Saturdays as several walkins showed up while I was there and had to wait). If this one lasts as long as my first shellac manicure did, I’ll definitely be back. Price was right, and the young lady who did mine did a good job.
