Ave Nails & Spa

I don’t know why I kept giving this place a chance… Tough Monday and was looking forward to relaxing pedi. The whole process took 8 MINUTES! She barely clipped & filed my nails followed by a quick slap of lotion (didn’t even rub the lotion into my legs).
The sides of the toenails didn’t get any polish. What a disaster.
I had asked for eyebrow wax when i walked in & everything in me said skip it but I didn’t speak up & 4 minutes later my eyebrow «clean up» left me with skinny eyebrows & wax on the eyebrows closest to the center.
Crying wasn’t an option so I sucked it up. DO NOT GO HERE. Take the extra time to walk to another nail salon or drive. Save your time, money, & emotional distress.

While the women who worked there were super friendly, I left very disappointed with my manicure. I spent $ 50 for a gel manicure. My nails weren’t filed properly and left jagged and uneven. My manicure is so sheer you can see my nail under the color. It also started chipping just hours after I left the place. The paint job is uneven and my cuticles were never trimmed.
Again, nice employees but I won’t be going back.

This is where I like to get my nails done while in the area. They do a great Mani Pedi (spa pedicure is worth it) and they massage you while you dry. I bring my own polish because places tend to water their down to make it last longer and it winds up chipping soon after. I try to avoid Michelle because she puts the polish on too thick and it takes forever to dry. Chris is the best (she usually wears a face mask). Massages are always great!

I used to think Avenue Nails was great because of the «free» massages, but over time my experiences there got worse and worse. Like the time they decided out of the blue to charge me for the massage, saying that the complimentary massage was just for regular manicures while I had gotten gel (okay…). The final straw was when I went in for a pedicure with a girlfriend and they were down right rude to my friend and wouldn’t let us sit together. At this point I was a regular customer (once weekly gel manicures) and the fact that they didn’t care about me as a customer just turned me off from the place completely. I will be getting gel manicures at Serenity Spa near my office in Manhattan from now on.

I LOVE this place. I never have a problem with just dropping in. Great color selection and prices ($ 10 manicure). Manicures and pedicures are decent. But the real reason I am in love with this place is the complimentary shoulder massage they give you while your nails dry. It is divine. And they definitely don’t skimp you on the length either. I usually tip the massage girls more than my manicurist.
Disclaimer: I’ve only had basic manicures and pedicures here, so I can’t attest to anything beyond those services. But if you’re looking for a quick, cheap manicure and an insanely good shoulder massage, this is the place!

Professional, friendly, and back massage included with manicure.
Love that they are consistently well-​stocked with the latest OPI and Essie collections.
They can get busy, so I’d suggest calling over walking in.
Favorite nail salon on the Ave.

Great pedi! W parafine treatment, back massage for27 $…lov’em!

This place offered the worst experience of getting my nails done in 20 years. $ 140 for a standard pedi, a new gel set with a sloppy coating (which I didn’t want– I told her I wanted acrylic and she ignored me), and a 10 minute massage. Most prices aren’t posted in this salon and now I know why.
That place was filled with constant commotion and they overbooked their customers. They would do ½ the job and then leave to start someone else’s job then rush back, only to leave again before each person’s job was finished. The technician doing my nails was also answering the phone, taking payments and finding each person who walked in a place to wait.
I usually go to a place in Manhattan for ½ the price and triple the service. I will NEVER go back to Avenue Nails. It wasn’t worth $ 30, let alone $ 140.
My dead grandmother could have done a better job.

Wow. Based on the one positive review I thought I’d give this little shop a shot. Well, I’m sorry I did and I’m certainly not going back.
Where to begin?
First, they barely greeted me at the door — a bunch of the technicians were hovering like vultures and the owner or manager just barked at me, «What you want?»
I knew I was in trouble when the tech didn’t know what strip-​less waxing was, even though there’s a huge advertisement for it in the waxing room. When she yanked the hair off my legs and didn’t even ask me any questions as to where the secret codes were (yes, that’s a reference to torture) and then completely missed sections while managing to leave wax on my legs I decided I’d had enough. I had originally wanted to get my legs, bikini and brows waxed and then settle into a mani/​pedi, but after the ripping up of my legs, I opted for… well, not.
On top of all that mess, they charged me $ 5 more than the listed price for my leg wax. At that point, I just wanted to get out of Dodge.

Much too overpriced. Workers there do not have a great command of the english language.

I cannot believe that I am the first person to review Avenue Nails. Maybe Unilocal isn’t big in Greenwich. Either way, you have to know about this place and i’d travel FAR to get to it. (actually, scratch that, don’t go there because i don’t want it becoming too busy!)
Avenue Nails has convenient hours and always has someone available to serve you if you walk in without an appointment. The facility is super clean and the nicest looking nail salon i’ve ever been in. The equipment is all new. You’ll be ushered to a comfy seat after picking from their good supply of polishes and they’ll offer you a drink. Tea, water, make yourself at home. Then, they take their time and do your nails well, giving your hands and legs a massage during it. This is the only place I go where I know everything is clean and sterilized and where they take their time getting your polish on right. My manicure lasts two weeks after Avenue does it. At other places it lasts maybe two days! Furthermore, there are little perks like a long shoulder/​back/​arm massage when you get a manicure and a warm wax that they put on your heel when you get a pedicure. AND all this for $ 10 manicures and $ 25 pedicures! It really is the best best best nail salon.
Besides nails Avenue also does waxing etc etc. but I can only speak to the manis and pedis.
