I was really disappointed with my recent visit to Avatar Nails. I made an appointment for a Gel-X removal and asked if time allowed, a regular manicure (no gel polish). From start to finish, the entire appointment took only 35 minutes, and it felt extremely rushed. The Gel-X removal was done so quickly and roughly that I actually had to pull my hand away because it was painful. After that, the filing and shaping lacked attention to detail, and my nails were left uneven with different shapes. I asked for a pale pink polish, but the application was sloppy. Polish was left on my cuticles and skin, parts of several nails were missed entirely, and there was no cleanup with acetone afterward. Once the polish was applied, the nail technician placed a fan in front of me and spent the rest of the appointment cleaning nail art brushes while my nails dried. No one checked on how they were drying or whether I needed anything, and I eventually just got up to pay. What makes this especially disappointing is that I've been to Avatar Nails before for pedicures and my previous Gel-X set, and those experiences were excellent. I would have happily given them 5 stars. Unfortunately, this visit felt like quality and attention to detail were sacrificed, even though the salon wasn't busy. I hope this was just an off day, but based on this experience, I left feeling disappointed. read more

I have been coming to avatar nails for the past few years and have always had positive experiences. While I try to have simple nails because of my line of work, im not afraid to ask for cute but hard designs. The artists have always delivered. I'll be attaching a few pictures of nail sets I've had from different artists here, they have all lasted me 3+ weeks as I take care of them well! read more

Idk how they justify charging $35 for a gel nail color change.. and FINE, if you're going to charge a premium at least do a GOOD JOB. My nails were rushed, done sloppy and now have creases. The shape was fine before coming here and she filed them so poorly that I even had to ask to use the filer myself .. I have nail polish all over the place. AWFUL. read more

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience at this nail salon. The technician used different nail tips, which made the color look inconsistent across my nails. The shape was also uneven ( I wanted coffin), and the polish application looked messy. I also mentioned that my hand was burning under the UV light, but my concern wasn't addressed and I was simply told to put my hand back in the lamp. While my other hand was fine, the experience overall felt rushed and the results did not meet my expectations. (Edit) I went back to have it fixed she just filed it and put some top coat again. A little bit better She said because I wanted rounder shape that's why the shape was like that, so I told her if I wanted rounder shape then why are the others sharp I had to explain to her that the nails were inconsistent.. read more

The worst. The nails didn't even last two weeks. I didn't go back for a fourth time to repair. They had no interest in repairing them correctly on day 1. They just continued to buff and buff away the dip without re-dipping. read more

This set is builder gel with cat eye polish and Christmas designs. I've come to Avatar nails for a few years now and it's been nothing but Amazing! The customer service is great. I specifically go to Amy and she is the sweetest and most professional nail tech I have ever been to. She really takes her time to perfect her work and listen to exactly what you are looking for. Amy does everything from pedicures, manicures, gel, dipping powder and gel builder. Her work is amazing and she is such a great person. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for great quality nails! read more

Went in to get acrylics, previously had glue-on cheap nails from target that i asked to be removed. She started ripping the nails off and when I said it hurt and asked her to use acetone she said no. On my 7th nail she ripped half of the nail off (picture attached) and then brought out the acetone and products to remove the last ones correctly. I didn't let her finish and got up and said i didn't need it anymore and will never be back. Be warned and go at your own risk. read more

I had a horrific experience with one of the nail technicians that did my daughter's full set. She was angry when I asked her to make the nails shorter and then when I complained about the shape she was reluctant to do anything to fix it portraying the issue unfixable. We returned the following day and asked for either fix or removal. They fixed them but were belligerent and unnecessarily harsh to my 15 year old daughter. That was like a kick in the gut! Because we didn't do anything wrong. We paid for a service and the service was bad. I am so disappointed! read more

I was recommended here by my friends. First off, I called in the morning for an acrylic soak off removal. They let me know it was $15 when I came in I was seated immediately. They proceeded to flick my nails off with a nail tip which is horrible for your nail beds. I then decided to get a gel manicure which I saw online there was a gel change for $25. I told the nail lady (Thuy Dao) I wanted to do a gel change, she said that I can do a gel manicure for $40, and the basic change would be $35. She also said if I get a service the $15 removal would go to $10. But then if I got basic gel manicure (no care of cuticle) it would only be $5 cheaper. I told her I have to go to an appt in 10 mins, she says it's only taking this long because I'm taking so long to choose a color (she said she didn't have the color I originally chose). She proceeded to dip my hand in a bowl of water?? She said she can do it in 5-10 mins which I totally could've done the gel change for because I wasn't going to have the time for all the extra services. She paints my nails quickly and skillfully but points out a bump on my nail which was caused by ripping my nails off. Overall, I will not be returning. It seems that the manicurist upcharged me because I checked the website and the salon menu afterwards and is there is no $35 gel service. Just a $25 gel change and $40 shellac manicure. read more

Been coming here too long and given too many chances to this business and the people who work here. What's unfortunate is my regular person is nice but in general she's always cutting my fingers! I still have dried blood on my nails that was painted in. It's been awful with the nail color as is stands out for a reminder. My fingers are always cut, the people are so rough. Also the vibe is awful, they chit chat and laugh so hard after you walk in and they see you, or if you ask a question, and dare take a comment. They are so rude with the blatant disrespect for their customers. This was it for me, never coming back. read more

Came here on a Sunday because a couple other salons were closed. They were pretty busy but they took me in and I only had to wait maybe 10 mins. I'm not sure the lady's name who did my nails (should tell you a lot) but she wasn't talkative, and she didn't really ask me what I want expect for the color.. not even shape. I chose to do just the dip powder today and the first did she did was half of my nails and then the second half was my entire nails... which left an obvious imbalance, so I had to ask her to re dip a few of them of them because it did not look good. The mail techs to the left and right of me seemed very attentive and from the expressions on their clients nails, they seemed to have done a good job. I would definitely come back as it was only $45 but would definitely ask for someone different read more

I first time visited today, and tried this nail salon for dip manicure and gel pedicure. My first impression of the Salon it looked clean and neatly kept from inside. I was received with smile. I find my manicurist very sweet and kind. She took care of everything I asked for, 10/10 service here. Anna is skilled and polite nail artist. I am planning to visit again for sure. I would recommend Avatar to friends:) read more

Moved to the area and wanted to try this place out. I asked for french tips initially but they were so messy, even after asking the technician to fix them. They still ended up messy so I asked if she could just remove them and do one solid color. I apologized and felt so bad but the solid color didn't turn out too good either, kinda messy - the full set was 60. At this point I just wanted to get them fixed another day, somewhere else. I'm bummed, I had high hopes. Maybe it depends on who you go to? read more

Me and my mother went to get our nails done here for the first time, and things were going fine at first but as they started to do the designs it was not what I asked at all, they had gotten the shape wrong, the designs wrong, and they had cut our skin and burned it with the file multiple times, my mom had bled twice because of it, my design was originally something else but I asked for something different because she could not do it right and even after changing it, it was not what I asked for, the French tip wasn't even nicely shaped. My mom said "my fingers look like clubs" she had asked for almond but they gave her round, would not recommend anyone to get intricate designs here. read more

So glad to be able to get a pedicure near my house vs driving to another county or state due to Covid. Call to make an appointment first. Everyone is masked and gloved. The bowls are wrapped in a disposable plastic protector so when you're done, they remove it and toss it out then cover the bowl again for the next customer. I like that they have a lot of colors to choose from. They have the same colors for gel or regular colors. They do up sell you but it you know how to say "no", they won't pressure you. They kind of remind me of my aunts who always have the best gossip or question everything you do in life. Lol. Overall, I liked my pedicure. The massage was decent. It's heavy pressure. My esthetician was friendly. She painted my toes perfectly. They take credit cards! I'll be back! read more

This salon was recommended to me by my previous nail tech who sold her salon. I'm beyond thrilled to find Avatar Nail Salon. I'm very selective about how my nails are done because these are my own natural nails and I love the dip process to protect the length of my nails. Filing is an art and not a step you can do and precision is a must for beautiful nails. I love my nail experience today!! read more

I have come to this salon a few times. I have gotten my nails done here for my engagement, had a few pedicures. There have been a few times I have had a rude mail tech but, this is why I'm giving them two stars. I have gotten a pedicure here about 4 times and every time they are rough on my feet. Literally yesterday I went for a gel pedicure and the tech was rough on my feet. She drilled the side of my toe multiple times and continued to after I said "ouch, that hurts". She was also very rough when cleaning the side of my toes. I ended up getting an infection from how deep and rough she was.. read more

It's my third time here and each time I have had a very good experience. Nhu did a splendid job with my mani-pedi. I think regular mani-pedi is more challenging than dip powder/gel. I am pregnant and have very specific asks including products, tools and space. I am so glad the staff at Avatar nails is accommodating and respectful of my preferences. They honor appointments timely and don't chat within themselves (I really get conscious at other nail spas where the staff talks within themselves and probably judges their customers). Here, the nail stylists try to engage their customers and do their job sincerely. Nhu was such. I am sure, I'll be asking for her in the future as well. read more

This place has been recommended to me over abs over by locals. Having just moved here I've been on the hunt for MY nail salon. Although there is nothing wrong with this place I don't think I found the one. My nail techs seemed pretty annoyed? The girl helping me with my hands kept on looking at the clock and sighing. The lady on my feet kept on watching her phone. Completely uninterested and I got cut a bunch. The end result was ok but felt completely ignored. read more

I've been going to Avatar Nails for 5 years. I live in SF and still make sure to come and see Amy every 2 weeks. I usually get dip powder.

Best spot to get your nails done in the bay in my honest opinion! read more
