Anvo Nails Spa

Kristine is amazing! She did my nails, matte, coffin acrylic with Gel! Everyone was friendly and they have free parking!

Oh Anvo nails — let me count the ways where you have failed miserably and ensured that I never step foot in your establishment again. I have gotten my nails done approximately 3 times and each visit reaffirmed my gut instinct that this place is the Literal Worst. Like a sick masochist however I came back for more self inflicted pain because the convenience of location to my supermarket trips and cheap prices outweighed my desire for quality service. My last visit however was the icing on the cake and thus I’ve come to share a slice of my experience with future visitors.
I began by making an appointment (I learned from past mistakes when walking in results in over 45 mins of waiting) and was greeted very nicely over the phone (hence 1 star). I confirmed for a 2:30 PM gel mani/​pedi. I even asked the nice girl on the phone if she had a preferred time that she recommended me coming in since I wanted to not be rushed and have to wait long. She said 2:30 was good and thus I showed up 5 min early only to find all of the technicians were working on others. Honestly not a big deal — my standards are low and I expected as much. They did seat me down and said they would be taking care of my pedi first and ran the tub/​began soaking my feet. So I’m waiting in no rush and the clock is ticking & I try very hard not to show my impatience. It is now 3:00 PM. and my feet have been soaking in cold water for 30 min with no signs of an available tech. I debate on just up and leaving but I’ve already committed so far so I stay (Mistake #1)! Lo and behold two more appointees show up for their 3:00 PM appt. and get seated immediately. At the same time two techs finally finish and immediately set up and start working on the 3:00 PM duo. I AM LIVID. But remain calm. I stare at my phone and am about to bounce but one of the techs finally realizes what happens — yells something in another language — offers a half non-​sincere ‘sorry’ and tell me I’ll be worked on right away (Mistake #2!).
The work I end up getting done is subpar at best. Here’s a condensed list: shoddy filing where almond shape is crooked, making me wait over 40 min after my appt before anyone paid attention to me, painting the wrong nail color (twice!!!) — A dark navy blue when I asked for black and then a pink nude when they lost the original nude my toes had been painted 20 min prior, and gel nail has already chipped not even 24 hours later.
All in all — if you have 2 hours to spare, very low expectations, like getting ignored for the entire duration of your service, and don’t mind getting the exact opposite of what you pay for this is your place!

Sitting here with my 15 year old daughter who wants to get her nails done really really bad for a quince she is going to today, or I would have left a long time ago. When we arrived they told us 10 minutes its been over an hour of waiting. They took 2 people while we were sitting here and from what I can tell they did not have an appointment but if they did that’s understandable, i get it but just dont tell ur customers 10 minutes… advise them that they have appointments and its going to be a while. She told us another couple of minutes 35 minutes ago. I know we are walk in’s but be honest about the wait and acknowledge ur customers when u take people before them. Awful, awful, awful customer service. Never again will i come here. Will take my $$$ to people who appreciate their customer’s business. Then to top it all off (they finally started on my daughters nails, been her since 11:10am, its 12:21pm)… she wants a coffin shape… and they just told her we can do it but it costs $ 3.00 more! Wow! Just wow!

DO NOT GO HERE! I went to this place since it was close to my house this past Sunday. The woman who did my pedicure was extremely rough with my cuticles and the experience was more painful than relaxing. I’m afraid I now have a bacterial infection because of it. The place seemed dirty and in poor condition and at one point I saw a woman drop her nail tool on the floor and pick it back up without sterilizing it. I should have known then and walked out immediately. There are so many other places to go for a pedicure, do not waste your time on this terrible place.

I’m a regular customer & I love this place. I just wanted to show off my new nails. The best place ever! Good work and good service!

Goodness, this place sucks. I will never come back no matter how convenient their location is for me.

Kristen did a great job on my nails thank you! I will return. I had gone to another nail salon and the shape of my nails was not what I had asked for came out terrible but thanks to Kristen we removed, the old set and she did a new set love the shape and color! Came out beautiful

Very nice staff. Always Leave with a beautiful feet and nails. Not to mention relaxed and Gets My eyebrows done right! I Love this Place and im Not going anywhere else.

This place was suggested to me by a friend and she said this place was the best. In all honesty, this place was the worst. I went in just to get my gel polish removed and clean up my nails a bit. I didn’t catch her name but the woman who did my nails was not gentle at all. I even had to tell her to stop at times because she was so rough. Also, the tools were FILTHY and it was obvious that the file she used was previously used on many other people, which is really gross. She also didn’t get all of the gel polish off but at this point I just wanted to get out of there. The price was pretty high which was a little surprising considering I didn’t even get any polish and she didn’t do much. I will not be coming back.

This place is always empty and today I found out why. There is a lack of: service –1 star, communication –2 stars, product (selection of polish is quite sparse) –1 star, and skill –1.
The price for a mani and pedi was about right for the location of the salon. It’s a huge place with lots of potential. The walls were SO bare. None of the typical nail posters or price list anywhere. There were a handful of return customers walking in, but even they didn’t seem very happy.
The lady who trimmed and shaped my nails did an OK job. She gave up painting after starting on my pinky finger and passed me on to the owner who finished the job. The lady who did my pedi was OK. (Notice how I don’t even know their names. The salons I have been to always have name tags on their employees.) There were parts of my toe nail that were not painted. She did an OK job cutting and cleaning up my toe nails.
I would not return. This wasn’t the worse experience I have had. But it also wasn’t the greatest.

DISGUSTINGLY UNSANITARY and POOR MANAGEMENT!
I watched the owner herself take product put it on clients skin and put that piece of wood back into the product. That’s cross contamination! that place is unsanitary and if the owner herself does this I wonder how many employees in the place do it there so careless. That is the exact reason why clients go home with irritated and bumpy skin. Disgusting!!! They don’t even use a sanitary maintenance area, I don’t know how any of those women pass the state board. This place doesn’t even deserve one star. I recommend everyone to not come here!

WORST place I ever went to for brows and nails! (picture below).
FIRST OF ALL, I come in here 3 days before my 10^th anniversary party wanting my eyebrows to get done. The place I usually go to my lady was on vacation so I decided to try somewhere else and this place is just down the block from my house plus some of the Unilocal reviews sounded good. Once she started to do my brows the wax was EXTREMELY HOT! I told her she needs to cool it down first and she said not thats normal. So okay whatever I believed her. My skin is super sensitive so it’ll turn red if something isn’t normal. After my brows were done I look at my brow and its so red!!! She burned my freakin skin! I knew it! I told her and she didn’t care! She told me again thats normal and it will go ahead in a few minutes.
So I go and get my nails done and I ask her to make it square. (picture below). WTF is this?! HORRIBLE NAIL JOB! I can’t even describe what I’m feeling. I complained about her and needed her to re-​do and she wouldn’t! She wouldn’t even give me my money back or give me a discount or «she’ll call the cops» for not paying her for their service. ITS HORRIBLE! Who would want to pay for this horrible nail job?!
Dont ever come here. They dont know what they are doing and I dont even think they have a license. This is horrible business practice and I have no doubt that someone will eventually file a lawsuit for this horrible company. How dare they keep my money after all the issues they’ve given me! I had to go to another nail salon for them to re-​do everything! Another 50 bucks down the drain.
Go to Westlake Nail Spa where they do such a good job! dont go here. Don’t even chance it.

This has become my favorite nail salon. It’s bright and airy with lots of room so no fumes like some salons. All the staff are great. They take their time. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush! They are thorough and the massages that go along with their nail services are divine!

Amazing value! I got a pedicure and mood changing gel manicure for $ 30 total! And this included a great hand and foot massage with hot stones! One woman did my pedicure while another did my manicure, so i was in and out of there in like 40 minutes. They play really relaxing music and unlike some other nail spots, they made it a point to make conversation with ME and not each other. Anzo nails is very clean, they did a great job, and provide excellent customer service. I think I found my new go-​to spot for nails!

I decided to come here because it was pretty close to my house & they’re even open on Sundays! I waited 40 minutes which kinda seemed like FOREVER, but time goes by fairly quickly when reading gossip magazines lol. I decided on getting acrylics (for the first time ever) instead of my usual gel Mani.
The first lady who helped me was Kim. Very nice & I enjoyed her conversation. She was a little rough with my hands tho. After she finished putting acrylic on one hand, Kristine (Or Kristi… I’m bad with names) came to finish. She seemed like she was the owner & she was very friendly & we also had a nice chat. She was faster than Kim, which I didn’t really like because it seemed like she was rushing. She managed to prick my right ring finger when she was using that drill thing (Ouch!) When she was painting the gel polish she was rough with my fingers & ended up cracking my thumb knuckle. Though it didn’t hurt me she was very startled & felt really bad. But other than that I can’t complain. I am very pleased with my nails. Definitely coming back!

I’ve gone here 5 – 6 times and a few times I’ve left so disappointed. Sometimes the ladies working are so rushed don’t even look at your nails while they are cleaning and painting your nails. Luckily, I haven’t seen any of those ladies after those incidents.
Today I had Denise doing my pedicure and Christine doing my gel manicure. I highly recommend both! Denise was very thorough in the cleaning, buffing and massaging. I felt so relaxed after a long week at work. Christine always works wonders. The few times I’ve had her do my gel manicure, it is always perfect! The best part is she is super quick, but is also very thorough. She always double checks that everything is perfect and looks good!
I recommend calling ahead of time as they do get busy and make you wait a long time. Whenever I do make an appointment they take the time to care for you. What more would you want in a nail salon?!
I will be back soon! Thanks Christine and Denise!

I do not recommend this place. I’m currently here with my friends and cousin. First off, nobody greeted me as soon as I came in. Second, my friend had to tell one of the workers that all 3 of us were getting manis/​pedis together. As soon as I get seated. Lady tells me to put my feet in the same seat and water my friends toes were just in. I finally get seated and the water is too hott. Soon as she adjusts it, and it warms up, 3 min later the water starts shooting out from the head where the bubbles come out. My pants are soaked my jacket is wet. All the lady did was wipe the area where there was water and have me sit in the exact same seat where the incident happened. It also made no sense for her to tell me to out my feet back into the water when it was cold and there weren’t any bubbles. Meaning The pedicure itself wouldn’t be enjoyable. So as I sit here, I’m going to keep updating this review to see how the rest of my time here works out.
There’s literally 3 workers who shift back and forth to you and the rest getting pedis. And all I can think about is how my sweats are wet and starting to make feel uncomfortable. Decided to just not get it done here, I rather pay an extra $ 7 to get better service at Vogue!!!

Went back and my nails paid for it :(I was told 15 minutes to wait, which was no problem, because I had to spare. I blocked off an hr for my manicure time (which is normally plenty) so I said sure no problem.
I waited about 25 minutes and then my manicurist came over and I already had a bad feeling… she didn’t seem like she wanted to be there, nor did she move like it (very slow and not paying attention) She kept looking towards the door, to the point where she cut me twice, and when I said «i’m bleeding — do you see that?» she says, «yes yes its ok» and proceeds to put alcohol on it not antiseptic. I don’t expect conversation, in fact I prefer the manicurist not really be super chatty, but I do expect her to at least look at my nails.
That’s when I figured ok, let me just wait this out and get out of here. She then proceeds to paint my nails where she didn’t paint them normally? I don’t know how to explain other than she did this weird spot type of nail motion which made me want to grab the polish from her and just paint them myself. I was frustrated, because by now an hr had gone by and my hands were barely getting their first clear coat…
Long story short, the color wasn’t done well at all, my nails were cut up, and she even said «you come back tomorrow and ill redo these nails (she points to three) fix no charge today»
Im not one to cause a scene, so I just said ‘Do you see what I’m seeing though? all my nails are messed up?“
She then speaks some language to the manager, who then comes to me and says «You don’t like the color?» and I said «no, its not the color, look at my nails» I showed the most obvious one that had things in the nail polished that dried so it was chunky…
She said same thing «Oh yea, I see… come back tomorrow. no cost to you today»
But it does cost me in that its now 1 ½ of my evening with nails that look no bueno… and you want me to come back tomorrow to fix them (another 1 ½?)
no.

My Pedicure ($ 20,
) turned out ok, but I wasn’t a fan of my experience here. However, I do not like having a male nail technician, so that was the first strike here. The guy was really nice, but I didn’t feel that comfortable for some reason. In addition, although there were a lot of bottles of polish to choose from, I didn’t like any of the colors and had to settle for this dark blue that wouldn’t be my first choice. They only have Essie and this other brand I’ve never heard of, and a few bottles of OPI colors. Although the massage part of the pedicure was relaxing and for a good amount of time, I don’t think I will be back to this spa due to the male nail technicians and lack of colors.

NAIL SALON
(4 stars)
The place sure reminds me of Anjelah Johnson’s comedy skit of «Nail Salon». I felt put on the spot… HA!
Friday after work is usually prime time anywhere. Females getting ready for the weekend. Always hard for me to get in at my usual spots. Called here around lunch on Friday and no hesitation to get me in after work and 1.5hrs before closing. Ample time to get a good pedi and mani. Seated immediately. Feet and hands scrubbed and messaged. Very kind people. They do a thorough job in cleaning and massage, much appreciated. They do a very good job here with maintaining the cuticles. The hot stone was a feel good session on the feet. Nails were painted good. I had asked for a flower design and didn’t like it the first time, second flower design didn’t really look like a flower (see picture) but I wasn’t sweating it. I just let it be. Next time I’ll show a picture for a visual.
The mani and pedi is $ 30. You get a punch card and after 5 visits get a $ 10 discount on service. Pretty sweet deal!
Will I’ve back? It’s affordable and convenient. Yes.
Until the next review…
