Lavender Nail & Spa

Ladies beware this is a «massage» parlor. Gentlemen if you wish to help support the horrible trafficking business, stop by.

Despite the hours posted on the door not matching the ones on their website, I arrived with the neon sign «OPEN» clearly lit up, and it says «Walk-​Ins Welcome», I was turned away saying that they’re closed. I don’t recommend, and will not be coming back.
Get it together.

This place is horrible. The hours are clearly posted on the door and it says walk ins welcome, but 3 out of 4 times I have walked in for pedi and a brow wax they quickly shoo me out saying they are closed. The pedicures aren’t great but I was looking for a convenient local spot. This is NOT it.

They do not do gel nails. I called ahead for an appointment told them I was coming for a gel fill, and a pedicure. I arrived to be turned away because they do not do this service. Also, when I called, they answered the phone with no indication I was calling a business. Just «hello». Very shady.

Had a pedi done here, didn’t have an appointment and I was seated right away. It was fairly hot in there and it would have been nice if the massage chair had been working and there had been magazines to read. Can’t complain too much though as my toe nails came out very nice and I thought the girl did a great job.

Horrible experience. My nails were so streaky and bubbly! I picked a nude color for my nails and it was streaky. When she offered to re-​do them, she insisted that I pick a dark color, as they aren’t streaky… will never go back! She kept telling me that they did not have time to fix my nails as there were customers waiting for massages.

I’m not one of those guys who frequents the nail salons, but after being pressured for quite a while by the gf due to some perceived notion of the condition of my toe nails and feet in general, I finally caved in, like a lid!
Since this place is a stone’s throwaway from where my gf lives, I thought I’ll give it a shot and walked right in without an appointment. Luckily for me showing up on a Sat morning didn’t mean that I was going to be juxtapositioned between a bunch of yakking ladies, rather it seemed nice and quiet for a noob like me and I was eased into a corner massage chair in the line of sight of a TV and even handed a remote, and I thought to myself «so far so good!». The girl who was attending seemed to sense the fact that I was like a Fresh-​off-​the-​boat and wore a smile that seemed to convey that she understood, but once she asked «Have you had a pedicure before?», there were no lingering doubts about her intuition.
Soon enough I had my feet soaked up in the whirly pool, and shortly thereafter they were being put to the test. I went through all sorts of weird and ticklish sensations (realized just how sensitive and raw my feet are) and as much as I tried to make no bones of it, it was evident and written all over my face I guess. And so my highly intuitive/​perceptive nail specialist took notice and reciprocated with a chuckle or a nod of acknowledgement to every little hypersensitive reaction or gasp of mine — she seemed to «listen» to my weird inexperienced flat feet that were yelling «Handle With Care», and so she made sure to put me at ease. Finally I reached a point where I was actually able to relax and enjoy my massage chair and actually pay attention to what was playing on TV! Oh, and as someone here pointed out — this place is as purple as purple gets — I tried to not be too bothered by it.
Towards the end, after my nails were buffed (can’t believe I’m saying that!) I was asked what color I’d like. and I gave her this «please tell me you’re kidding» look, to which she laughed and so did I, heaving a sigh of relief. But then she suggested I try on some colorless shine, and after a lot of push back, she managed to convince me that my feet will look «pretty», and the stronger argument being in favor of «your gf will love it» — so I bought it under the condition that this change was reversible. When we got done, it hit me — I’ve never seen my feet look so pristine (if the term applies) — maybe I was just looking for the word «clean» ;-) My nails definitely had a glow that got me a little worried (like about the gender of people I might be attracting), but I kept telling myself — this better be kosher with the gf, cos you know the kind of sacrifices that guys will make.
Anyways, I left the salon with a smile on my face and beaming happy feet! And what did the gf think? Well she can’t get enough of my new feet ;-) Guess that was a win-​win.
My gf said I was living proof that they did a really good job, and will be visiting here shortly. I suggest you go check them out too.

I AM SEEING PURPLE
I hope you like this color! The spa is called Lavender and I can see why! All of the walls in here are a shade of purple. I noticed a few weeks ago that this nail place had opened up in our neighborhood and pointed it out to my wife.
It was raining really hard this past Wednesday and we were taking our little one to get her nails done. When we drove by the location at 4pm, it was really dark inside but the sign was blinking, «OPEN». My wife said, «They look closed, so let’s go some place else!» I said, «Let me go around the block and pull in front!» We pulled up and noticed a nice lady standing in the window. We asked her if she was open and she invited us in. There is also a loading zone in the front, so parking was very easy.
My little one had a fun time too. And guess what? I dressed her up in a purple outfit that morning. So weird! It looked like we planned it. The price was also great too. It was only $ 10 to get her nails done.
So if you are looking for a new place to get your nails done, then give this place a try. I loved the fact that there was no waiting but I am sure that the buckets of rain falling from the sky had something to do with this.
