A Top Nails & Skin Care

I love this salon, I have been getting my mani/​pedi shellac for 2years now, you can get just about any nail tech and have a great job and experience. Hannah, mary are a few of my absolute favorites. This place had the name changed to Avalon. Its the only place I go and I never would of thought a nail salon in the mall would be that good but I heard about them word of mouth, which to me speaks volumes. This place is well trained in today’s hip new shapes and colors of nails. they strive to stay ahead with the fashion and you can request just about anything from gel, acrylic or just shellac nails. They specialize in pedicures and you cant go wrong with their few dollar more «DELUXE» they do all the added benefits of a pedicure with a touch of extra love for your Real Moneys WORTH at $ 26 you cant beat that. So stop by and try out the nail shop in the Everett mall, Its the only reason that mall has any business anyways, you will see when you go and its packed. They have about 8 pedi chairs and 13 mani stations, with 2 eyebrow wax, stations, all waxing actually.

I have come to this nail salon more so because it’s convenient. I have had my nails done to my satisfaction once out of 4 visits here. They ruined my sisters bows she had done on her wedding day and my leopard print the day before. I had one incident here that I paid with my credit card and they charged me $ 75 instead of $ 35.I signed a receipt that said 35 but my credit card statement 2 days later said 75.

****Avalon Nails in Everett Mall****
Besides having nail tech with nail fungus on their nails isn’t enough of a reason to stay away from this place, read on.
As the receptionist filed my nails (and my skin) to remove my shellac another tech stepped in, she was nice at least. Here’s a quickie glimpse of my service.
— she’s almost 60, but calls me ma’am. I’m at least 30 years younger than her
— she pulls out a filthy box with her tools in it, I asked if they were newly sanitized. She said «don’t worry» and sprays alcohol on cotton to wipe them down.
I told her I didn’t want to finish the appointment but I’d still pay. She got up and got fresh tools out of the sanitizing machine. Funny thing is they were brand new. Makes me think they don’t use the blue light box to sanitize, it’s just for show were they keep new tools.
— her thumb and index nail looked scary. It looked like fungi. And even if it wasn’t cover it up with some gloves! It looked terrible and I didn’t not want her infected nails on my hands. WEAR GLOVES!
— on her pinkie and ring finger on opposite had, she had uncover open cuts. GROSS! Must I say more? WEAR GLOVES!
— she barley filed my nails, like the nail file didn’t shape my nails. When she stepped away I filed my own nails. She came back and just watched.
— she wanted to wax my eye brows. No up sell for me. Especially with their lack of protocol for any kind of health practices.
Needless to say, I did not finish the appointment. I paid for the removal of my shellac polish. I didn’t even want to finish that, but some how she didn’t understand.

I never thought anyone could mess up a shellac manicure, but its possible. Luna did a half ass job and was just rushing to get me out of there… she didn’t file my nails well, and i havd to ask her to cut my cuticles more. I could go on and on, but thats not going to bring back the $ i wasted on my manicure. Needless to say, i wont be coming back.

Ive been going to this place for like about 2 yrs. its been a while since the last time i came. Have that for sure i wont be going back. I got there and asked for a fill. Got sat and the girl started to do my nails. I found a pic in pintrest of the way i wanted my nails done. Everything was going good until she didnt do it like the pic. And then the girl cut me like 3 times and she didnt even care and just answered «oh not good at it» wtf is that answer. I dont think ill be going back. The salon has a different name now as well. Avalon. It says its the same management but after tiday i dont think it is…

HORRIBLE SERVICE!
Said I resembled a prostitute!!!
I have never been so uncomfortable/​offended and disappointed with a nail salon.
I went in for the first time yesterday and it seemed like a decent place. They had me take a seat and within 3 minutes the woman started working on my nails.
We were off to a good start.
She then asked what I wanted and it was a very basic french acrylic. The woman started by grinding my nails and cuticles until they were so thin it hurt. I told her it was too thin and she just smiled. She then sized my pinky nail only and it fit well. The rest she just guessed and they were all too wide. I figured that she would file them to make them fit before she glued them on but she didn’t. Once she glued them on she said, «oops, too wide.» Then she started filing them on the sides until my nails were all bleeding. YOU WOULD THINK THAT SHE WOULD STOP WHAT SHE WAS DOING, BUT NOPE!!! She ignored the fact that I was bleeding and that I told her that she was hurting me. She didn’t apologize. She told me to go wash my hands so I did. I got my hands to stop bleeding after a few minutes. I came back and she was on the phone doing a video call with her husband. It was so unprofessional. She winked at him and licked her lips in a sexual way. AS SHE WAS DOING MY NAILS. I was pissed at this point. Despite all of this, she finished my nails but they were all uneven lengths and the corners were so sharp I had to file them myself.
Also on a side note, I was wearing a dress with a cardigan and some flip flops. I also had red lipstick on.
After I realized that ALL of the women working there were talking about me and my lips, I asked my manicurist what their problem was. Because it was really clear that they were judging me. One woman pointed at me and then made a comment and then laughed while making a money gesture with her fingers.
My manicurist then said with hesitation that red lips are for prostitutes.
I have never been so offended and disappointed.
I don’t care what red lips mean in your country.
You’re in the U.S.
Stop fucking staring at me like I’m naked in public.
My lips looked fine.
I got up to leave and when I did they all stopped what they were doing to look at me.
When I got home my fingers were in so much pain. My nails are definitely too thin and my cuticles are cracking and bleeding constantly without doing anything. They are horrible overall.
Do not go here. The workers are bad at what they do and they judge you and talk about you in their language. This is the typical stereotype for nail salons with Asian workers. I’m livid.

I stopped in last minute for a quick brow wax since I had some things to take care of at Old Navy. They got me in right away and she did a nice job. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. Thankfully I didn’t experience any of the same problems as other reviewers.

Very terrible service!!! I was satisfied with the mani pedi I received, but they charge extra for everything. I got my eyebrows done and the lady took hair off that was there before. When I checked out I asked if I could not pay for the eyebrows because I did not like them. She refused reimbursement and told me she could fix my eyebrows. How do you fix an eyebrow that you waxed hair from? Did she have a special concoction to make the hair grow back? So I told her no. Reimburse me. I asked her if I could speak to someone else. The other lady took some money off of my bill, but then they sat there and talked shit about me and my friend while we were getting our nails done and when I complained about my eyebrows.
Never get your nails or eyebrows done here! There are too many other nail salons and better nail salons that have better products and services.

It really depends on who you get here. Sometimes I get great services, but other days (like today) not so much. My pedicure was below average and she didn’t cut any skin at all. Than when it came time for my eye brows she tried to get me to leave with so much extra hair, I couldn’t believe anybody would think that’s ok. However my acrylic nails turned out great but only because a different person did them (Hannah). I just wish they would pay the salon some TLC. It’s dirty and the equipment is falling apart. Also the nail polish selection is sad. I’ll come back for Hannah and maybe a different girl for my toes. But if they don’t fix up the place soon it might be time to find a new place.

We were able to get right in with no appointment, which was nice. However, my service was below par, and they don’t really have the best customer service skills. I will most likely not be going back.

SO DISSATISFIED! very unprofessional, and I work in the beauty industry myself. When I told the lady I wanted white nails with some gems on them she seemed annoyed that I wanted regular white polish. The lady was on her phone, texting and answering phone calls. She never tried to make conversation with me. I told her I wanted them short but she made them too short and square. I told her I wanted gems down the middle of the ring finger and she put it at the top. After a day everyone around me kept telling me how terrible the shape was, SUPER SQUARE not pretty. Even my boyfriend said he didn’t like them. I came back in and I explained I wanted them a bit more rounded. One hand is now very round, and the other still square. When I came in she told me it was because my nails were too thick? Not only does that not make sense as to why she was unable to make them a little rounder but she is the one who filled them! She was full of excuses and was not polite, say she was sorry or make sure I was happy with the end result which I am extremely displeased. Never ever will I come back here!

I usually don’t like nail salons in the mall but I really like this place. Clean, big and nice people.
The wait isn’t that long, at least the times I’ve been there. When they were busy on Super Bowl Sunday they were busy but called more people in to work.
I will be coming back for sure.

I went in on a Friday evening and it wasn’t too busy. As soon as we got in they said ’ What would you like?’. I just told them I wanted a manicure and they told me to pick out my polish. I was choosing and they came over and asked if I was done. I told them I was picking brown because I wanted leopard print. So they seat me and a woman came over and started shoving my hands in the lukewarm water. There were a bunch of polishes on her station and she asked which was mine. I told her brown because I wanted the leopard print pattern, she said she didn’t know what that was. So I pointed to someone’s purse and she said okay. Then she just starts filing my nails, didn’t ask if I wanted them shorter or rounded. Then she started to cut my cuticles and while she was doing that she answered her phone and started talking to someone. While she was on the phone she cut part of my pinky skin. Then she started to ‘massage’ my hands but then her husband and son came over and she started to tell them to get her a smoothie and to come back later. They probably ‘came back later’ about four times durning my 20 minute manicure. After she was done massaging my hands she noticed she cut me. She put some blue dropper on it that strung. Then when she was painting my nails she said that the pattern wouldn’t look good on my nails and that I should do gold on top of the brown or she could do a flower. I told her to just paint them then she just got up and left and someone else had to put the top coat on my nails. As she was doing my nails she was counting her tips and complaining out how much her last client left her. So unprofessional. I will never come here ever again!

Stay as far away from this salon as possible!!! I went in to have a pink and white fill done. The girl they had work on me burnt my nail through to the quick. I pulled my hand away and asked her if she knew what she was doing! I then asked to see a Drivers License and a Cosmetology license. She could not produce either!!! After being shuffled to Nick’s Mother, and ultimately Nick, I was told they would do my nails for free until the problem caused was corrected. I went back for one fill, when they tried to convince me that she had a license. I told them that I had asked, then looked Nick in the face, and asked why he was allowing his «Manager» to lie to me, and tell me she was licensed. He responded by telling me she was there on an interview, but had lied to them and didn’t have an acutal license! They fired her, but should have checked credentials BEFORE allowing her to touch a client!
I had an appointment for a fill, which the «new» owner refused to follow through on, and basically told me it was my problem! I will never go to this salon again!!! STAY AWAY!!!

I hadn’t been to this place since I was in middle school (~10 years ago) but decided to give it a try since it’s open so late. My 2 friends and I went for pedicures and manicures. The pedicures started off rocky — we were told to pick our polish and then weren’t told if they were ready for us until we loudly asked to each other what we were supposed to do. When we got to the chairs we were offered no assistance or direction. We sat down, put our feet in the water — cold water — and waited… the chairs were not plugged in. When one friend asked her lady what was wrong with the chair she fiddled with the remote and then checked the back of the chair. After she fixed hers, I stated that mine wasn’t working either… and was ignored. I sat there and loudly asked my friends why my thing wasn’t working and sat awkwardly in a huff, with my feet in cold water. When the lady came over to me and tried to do whatever to my feet she realized I wasn’t scooted up far enough. I then said (probably a little rudely) that my chair wasn’t working! She said ohhhh and then tried to fix it. When she did that, my other friend had to say multiple times that his wasn’t working either. Finally she got them all working. I had to also ask for warm water. The pedicure went along (mind you we all got the most expensive one for all the amenities) and when it came time to use the foot scrubber, she lightly scrubbed and hardly worked my heels. That’s one of my favorite parts so when I realized she did such a poor job, I was very irritated. One friend was disgusted that she didn’t use alcohol on her toes and the tools seemed unsanitized. From this point on the pedicure was ok… not great. They didn’t clip the sides of our big toe nails (so pressure on the toes is relieved) and I was really upset about that. At the end when she painted I asked for a flower and that seemed like a daunting task for them. They got a boy to come paint it — the ONLY reason this rating is 2 stars. I love my toe art.
The manicures, from all the complaining I’ve heard since, weren’t that great (I didn’t get one). One friend didn’t get her nails painted down to the cuticles so she’s really irritated every time she looks at her nails.
So, to sum it up: I’m never going back. Good thing there is an EXCELLENT pedicure place called La Bella in Everett by the Fred Meyer on evergreen and casino :)
