Evon always does a fantastic job on my nails. Evon gets 5 stars. However, the new lady they have as receptionist is horrible. I booked an appointment for 4pm. I waited 30 mins. Only to be told that Evon was overbooked and that I would have to wait for another day. This is the 2nd time something like this happens when making an appointment. Aside from always messing up appointments she is very rude and aggressive. Definitely needs to be taught customer service skills. As much as I love Evon, that front desk lady makes you not want to come back. read more

Came here back in July. Met Camille who is kind and attentive. Did a pedicure so amazing that nothing bothered me for a long while.

Parking is super easy, Making an appointment was super easy. read more

Overall, a great salon. I usually come here for pedicures because I'm particular about how my nails are done and get anxious when things aren't right. I guess you could call me a perfectionist. That said, I've noticed that anytime there's a hair or bubble in the gel and I politely ask for it to be fixed, it tends to be taken personally. That happened again this time--everything went smoothly during the appointment, but at the end, I pointed out a hair stuck in the gel and asked if it could be removed. The tech didn't say anything, but her body language made it clear she was upset. That kind of reaction is exactly why I usually do my own Gel-X at home. Still, aside from that, the service and quality are solid, and I'd recommend the salon overall. Just not for super detailed gel work. read more

Today was a great day of service at Avalon Nail Bar. Tina gave me a fill and special ombre color request as well as a manicure beforehand. It was my first time having her do my nails and it was just relaxing and great customer service. Tina took her time, she listen to my request and always asked me is this how I like it. I was very please she had a gentle touch and caring personality. What made the experience even better from the start was being greeted by Chantel, she has very kind and warm energy. She took her time and went over all the services, some services like the headspa, eyelash extensions, facials! She did such a great job explaining everything and answering all my questions. I have been coming here for months and never knew they offered all these extra services. I booked my first headspa appointment with Tina, I'm looking forward to it! Thank you all for such a fun relaxing self care day! I love your customers service! read more

Chantel immediately greeted me with a warm smile and with kindness. I was seated right away. I originally just went in to get my nails done, but after Chantel telling me she could assure I got a pedicure and my nails at the same time I decided do a pedicure and a manicure. The nail technicians saw me right away and Chantel periodically checked in with me to see if I needed any water and how it was going, I could tell the nail technicians took their time with shaping and massaging. 10/10 recommend. read more

Avalon Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Leaving a two star review based off of the last two experiences we've had at this location. First off-- I wanted to LOVE Avalon nail bar. They have ample stations, and a variety of techs that have been for the most part, decent. The issue with Avalon lies entirely with their receptionist. I can wholeheartedly say that I've never encountered such a rude individual in my life. While I didn't catch a name, beware of the rotund receptionist with a lisp and glasses. Not only will she try to tell you in a passive aggressive manner to not get the services done that you're requesting (and paying above market prices for) but she will also demand more money for tips and manually change it on her end of the POS system to meet her own demands, not considering that services were paid for and tips are an OPTION, even though a tip was already added. To chase clients and shame clients for not giving more is pure insanity to me, especially after being cut by the drills from the techs and having a lackluster experience. Her attitude is as ugly as she is and we will certainly not be back. read more

I made a 3:00 appointment and waited 45 minutes and no service or apologies. I had to ask how much longer was the wait and was told not sure. I informed the receptionist I had an appointment and her response was my technician's are busy. Should have informed me this when I walked in. So making an appointment doesn't mean anything Not worth a star read more

The ladies are nice, but they have raised their prices yet again in just the past ~year, where an acrylic fill has gone from about $40 to $45 and now I was charged $50 for the exact same acrylic fill I get every single time. $50 for a fill with no manicure or anything else is crazy, even in this economy. They told me it was because of the shape I got. I literally got the most standard almond shape that I always get. Between this price jump and often getting started 10-15 minutes past my appointment time, unfortunately, it looks like it's finally time to jump on the press-ons trend, or find a new nail salon. read more

Avalon Nail Bar - Diane at Avalon nail bar.. - Nail Salons Near Me - Long Beach, California

Took my nieces here and it great overall experience. Will be back for hair head massage

I won't be back. Mainly because of the trash talking. I was asked if I liked the design so I responded with "well" and she rolled her eyes. So I just said, "yes" she told her co-worker "it's already there so" The picture I showed her was a simple spider, she complained about placement AND size. It was extremely uncomfortable. She later told me to pay her since she was leaving and waited until I got her a tip. Almost knocked my 15 year old sister trying to get the tip she was giving the other nice nail tech while saying "oh" and then said "my tip for me?" Other tech that did my sisters set was incredibly kind & did an amazing job on her nails. read more

Horrible experience. I went in for an eyebrow clean up on micro-bladed eyebrows, meaning they are already shaped. Tech waxed it off completely changed the eyebrows. Looked very bad and upper lip was burned I could not place makeup on top the next day (I had an event) ! Don't go here read more

The workers are rude they do ugly work they make the shapes wrong they can't barley speak English they don't even try to make your nails nice they try to get u in an out so they can work on more customers there just in it for the money I recommend Mimi nail spa in Long Beach the workers there are very nice and they care about there work I don't recommend this place read more

My sister and I are long customer's of the salon. Vivian is fantastic and takes care of my mani/pedi. Love her. However, during our last two appointments, we noticed we were not asked if we wanted a beverage. Thinking that was odd, as the service has always been attentive, we asked the manager. We were told that beverages would only be offered on Mon, Tue, & Wed. Unfortunately my nail salon experience has been negatively impacted by this change. Was the customer experience considered for all patron? Lastly, the manager appears to get flustered quickly. read more

I'm not happy with my nails; they don't look how I wanted them to. I showed them a picture of what I wanted, but I feel like I've wasted my money. You really let me down! read more

Neve again! I went there one time and had a mani-pedi. On my return, when the color was removed - this is what I got. I have been having my nails done for years and have never had this happen. Unfortunately Pearly Nails on 4th was closed because the new landlord tripled the rent, and they couldn't keep it. I tried Avalon once - when I saw what they did, the lady said "that's not toe fungus". I was done right then and there. Like I said - never again. read more

I came in as a sleep deprived mom with hands and feet to prove it. Evon and Annie made me feel like new. I got the Special Deluxe Spa mani/pedi and took a nap read more

The service was great, I ended up needing to move the appointment back and they had no problem with it, but it did feel a bit rushed if I'm being honest. The pedicure was great she did a thoughough job, the nails look good but if you look closely a couple of the French tips are off centered and the white polish is slightly overflowing on a couple spots. Maybe she is new, I am only being harsh because a French tip has been pretty much perfect at everywhere else I have been since it's a pretty simple design. Other than that the place was very clean and the nail techs were super nice. Wish the nails were a little less messy but they still look nice overall. read more

Need I say more.. the girl didn't use clean or even new tools and she was more entranced with the latest gossip then my nails . Worst experience of my life. read more

The place has been renovated and looks nice and clean. The new manager Chantel is friendly and accommodating. We were walk ins and she was happy to check us in and get our service started. She offered us water and had a good converstion with us while we waited for the technicians to help us. Our service was done by Evon and Camille. Evon helped my son and she did a great job with his pedicure (he is a soccer player and those nails get stepped on a lot). My nail tech was Camille, she always does a great job for both pedi and mani, she has helped me in the past with some amazing designs. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back again! read more

So TBH, I hate wasting my time writing negative reviews so if a place is slightly poor as opposed to grossly bad, I won't waste my time and contribute to the messed up negativity in the world right now. But in this case these people did such a horrible job on a basic Mani pedi recently as well as other semi weird experiences that I've had here so it's showtime...lol!! I wish I had taken pictures so I could show what my toes looked like after the pedicure, incomplete painting, jagged, crooked filing I was every angle but straight. As for my hands, my fingernails have been damaged and It's gonna take another month or two for them to make a comeback. I don't know what the lady put on my nails but she used some solution and my nails have been breaking ever since (my natural Nails mind you) I can't believe I paid almost $60 for this subpar quality. The lady doing my manicure Cut my cuticle so deeply that it was difficult for it to stop bleeding. I don't think I've had my cuticles cut anywhere else in at least 20 years and I never get my fingernails polished, and in this case I didn't either, but for some reason, she used some type of solution on my nails, which now all my nails are breaking and I've had exceptionally healthy nails all my life. I'm done with this place most definitely and I agree with others on how rude and aggressive the environment is here. Very strange vibes in general with a bunch of loud inappropriate unprofessional, ladies, gossiping, and being snarky...so both their attitude and the workmanship was unbelievably bad. Wont be back. read more

So the place that I originally went to they closed down due to the pandemic that is back in LA County. I have gel nails on my natural nails, my nails were chipping and I couldn't walk around (even though there's no place to go) looking crazy. Walked in the AVALON, not a lot of people in there which I enjoy, I love their little sign and check in . I was 6 feet away from other people which was great. I told the lady exactly what I wanted, gel dip gel manicure Kristina killed it!!!!! I will be going back just to her because she made my experience especially for the first time amazing. My nails feel strong they look like I'm bout to put on a diamond ring and show off my nails. I love it!!!! read more

I came in for a gel manicure, and told the receptionist clearly knew what I was there for. Somehow she relayed it as a pedicure, and the staff started treating me rudely because of the mix-up. I got attitude and cold looks from the workers, which made the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. There was no apology or effort to correct the situation professionally. I will never return. This is genuinely the worst salon I've ever been to. read more

I always go for dip manicure and regular pedicure Vivian does an excellent job. She really pays attention not like the others talking very rudely about the customers to each other and they make it obvious. But the front desk clerk young girl is extremely rude to everyone does not have customer service skills she talks over you she rolls her eyes she needs to be removed. Vivian gets 5 stars but because of that rude girl the salon gets 1/2 star read more

I had Yvonne and she was perfect. She listened to what I wanted when I gave her my ideas and inspiration and was able to make it look perfect! Their massage was the best part! I will definitely be going back. read more

This review is only based on my most recent experience. I have gone here in the past, with great service. I received a gel mani and regular pedi. My mani came out great, except she clipped my skin too close to the nail bed on 2 fingers, so they were painful for a few days. My toes however look horrible. It looks like she didn't apply the last coat all the way down to the base of nails. Unfortunately I got this done right before my vacation, so was unable to get them fixed. I emailed the salon asking what could be done, but didn't get a response. I will probably come back, but will not work with the same technician again for my pedicure. read more

This review does not reflect the wonderful Vivian that I go to for all my fills. This 3 star review is about the pricing that went from $40 to now $47. I have always known you're gonna charge $2 every time we use a card which I think is not right but I accepted it. You did some remodeling and it looks nice but the fact that it was $49 when I checked out because I used my card was shocking. I have gone here for years but now I will have to find a more affordable place. A real bummer! read more

I called last night to see how much a regular manicure cost and was told $21 but was charged $25. I went I. Today at 10am and was seated immediately. The lady took her time until they started getting busy and rushed through the second hand. Everyone was offered a mimosa or water except myself: not sure if you have to spend a certain amount to receive one. No oil was added to the lotion or cuticles afterwards. I brought my own mail strengthened polish and you used a harsh brush on my mail to make them rough prior to putting on. You would do this for fake nails not real nails read more

Dirty and they do not clean their tools. Left with gel nail polish all around my toes and with a pedi I could've just done with my white nail polish at home. Nail tech didn't paint all the way to cuticle and all to the edges leaving it looking messy with the polish. Came here just to get plain white gel polish for a fast pedi. Do not recommend. Also the type of salon that waits for you to tip. The massage that comes with the pedi is also them just rubbing their gloves against your skin while they look around at other people. read more
