I LOVE coming to Lavender. I always walk-in and they are so quick to accommodate me for a relaxing, efficient gel or powder manicure and pedicure. Long-lasting, perfect, fair pricing. I keep coming back! read more

I recently went to Lavender Nail & Spa to get my toenails done before my son's wedding the weekend of 08/31, so the Wednesday before. I was nervous because I had previously been to a place in S. Windsor CT that was so bad. Well I walked in and right away I got a nice feeling. I was welcomed and everyone was so nice. I have really bad feet and the lady who did my feet was so sweet and gentile. OMG! I can't wait to go back! I got the most expensive package I think and I still only paid like $60 and then I added my tip. I will keep going back!!!! read more

They are Nice people and have nice service. They are also very reasonable with their prices.

Definitely a great place to get a manicure. My nail tech Nichole was so thorough, her attention to details was like none I have ever had. I highly recommend Nichole. read more

Amazing service and very calming atmosphere! Got a gel manicure and they took their time to do it properly! read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Gel manicure was as - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

Stopped in so the boyfriend and I can treat some special ladies to some self care with manicures and pedicures while the boys decided to get their eyebrows waxed. The location is near the Stop and Shop in Waterford easy access from the busy roads and the communities of the area. Hidden in the back area of the plaza, the establishment is a lot bigger than you see from the outside. With a few stations in the front of manicures and hand treatments, a couple of stations for pedicures and lastly the back area for the staff and a small makeshift room that we had both laid down as the staff member applied warm wax, strips of paper and went to town shaping my "bushy caterpillars" as my sister calls them. The location is clean, well maintained with ballads playing for your entertainment. You'll find clients chatting with their staff members that can be heard as the place is pretty quiet. I have been to other locations where you can watch the news or something like that which I would suggest as an option as my family member ended up just watching the man work on her nails for the time she was there. My other family member raved about the pedicure and the massage that went along with it, saying that she felt great as she had left. Now the reason why you kept reading, you want to know how my first time with the hot wax and my eyebrows faired. It was a first time experience; at first trying with tweezers that hurt a lot more than the quick rip with the paper and wax. My only regret is that I didn't see how much came out. I was quickly complemented by my boyfriend so a job well done there. We will be returning as it is a convenient location from home and the service is there. read more

Wonderful prices for the service provided. I was seated immediately as a walk in. My nail technician went above and beyond to not only make sure my nails were perfect, but also to give me an included upper back massage and a wax hand treatment. No sneaky price increases. I'll definitely be back! read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

I went in for a pedicure this evening hoping the work would be good. I normally get Gel but decided not to because of the additional $20 charge for gel on top of the cost for the pedicure. Secondly, they do not clean under your toe nails nor do they prep your toe nail for polishing. I asked to have my toe nails buffed so the polish was look clean and smooth once dried. All in all, the service was rushed. My toes look worst than what they looked like before I got there. I do not, would not recommend this place to anyone. Go somewhere else. I took pictures of their work before I left out of there shop. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. I hate writing bad reviews but to pay over $60 for this and they're already coming off. I asked for rhinestones on one nail and the guy said it would be an extra $50... so I just got them white. He didn't even shape them the way I asked. I showed him a photo. I wanted them more flared/square but he kept filing them on an angle and I didn't want to make a huge deal out of it. wouldn't come back here :( read more

Very nice service. Loved my nails I will be coming back The massage was great too I think it's the best nail spa read more

We were looking for some last minute walk-in pedicures and hit the jackpot at Lavender Nail & Spa!! This place was impeccably clean, with phenomenal service. The techs did amazing with my mom & my pedicures. They were gentle, soft and precise. My mom went so far as to tell the tech "this is the the best pedicure I've ever had", and she has had hundreds throughout the years! I'm from NYC, but will absolutely be back here every time I'm in CT! Definitely the best one in the area by miles!! Not to mention, it was soothing and quiet, and not too many people while we were there. read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

I'm local to the area and was not happy with the last few pedicures I've had at the place I've gone to for a few years. I've heard good things about Lavender Nail & Spa and it was the first place to come up on yelp so my husband and I decided to try it out. We walked in and i immediately had a good feeling. It was clean and calm and it wasn't busy (it was about 10am on a Sunday). They have a variety of different pedicure options ranging in price. I opted for the blueberry and my husband got the green tea. It was one of the most relaxing pedicures I've ever had. The guy I had was detail oriented and thorough and my husband loved his pedicure as well! We will definitely be back. read more

Went in to get my toes just painted and they told me $40 everything was ok and the lady began I showed her a picture how I wanted them, she then stopped filing my toes and moved on to another lady. I asked is someone going to do my feet and they told me 20 minutes. These people are a joke. read more

I cannot tell you how awesome of an experience I have every time I come into this salon. They offer awesome services, and they are always so friendly and kind. They take their time, listen to what you would like, and offer suggestions as well. They are very professional, and very particular. If you leave unsatisfied, I would be so surprised. They are probably the cheapest place you'll find in the area, with the absolute best service! I would highly recommend this little hole in the wall to anyone who needs a manicure, pedicure, a massage, or all of it. The last manicure I had was done by Kevin, I tipped him almost the same price as the bill. The woman at the register ran out to my car confused, and said it was too much! It's never too much when you get excellent service. Thank you Kevin! read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Beautiful dipped nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

This is my new favorite nail salon! I've been to many many nail salons but none compare to this one. I went in for a pedicure and I couldn't believe what I got. They have many varieties but I got the flower pedicure. It's $40. It includes the paraffin wax, a 15 minute massage with steam, hot stones and towels, sugar scrub, and a major heel scrub to remove dead skin. It was amazing and so relaxing and only for $40?! I'm sold. I've been back every two week. Update 8/24/20 my review is still true. Still haven't gone anywhere else. Staff is so friendly and I love the service I get for the price. read more

Got gel tips for the first time. Pretty sure they are not supposed to be flaking within 3-4 days. They wore masks but didn't enforce masks in customers even though new london had an indoor mask mandate. Wont be back. read more

If you like simple manicures then this is the place to go, if you like boujee nails don't go here. But their pedicures are on point. Well worth the money, $30 for the cucumber pedicure! They do a paraffin wax dip and a 10min massage. So. Amazing. I am EXTREMELY picky and this is thee best place for pedicures! And even better, they have a loyalty card where after 10 visits you get a free mani or 10min massage. read more

Went in for a last minute 30 minute chair massage (only $30) with Bin after overdoing it at the gym and being in desperate need. Omg. Best chair massage I've had. Walked out feeling sooo much better. I'll def be back. read more

Loved!! I called last minute and they were able to take me towards the end of the day for a dip mani and a pedi. I had the cucumber pedi, which was super relaxing. I loved the 10 minute massage! Dip manicure was great as well. read more

Honestly the best nail salon I've ever been to, they make sure every nail is meticulously perfect and they offer a huge variety of colors. They are very talented and professional. For a dip powder with gel manicure it's only $40 which includes paraffin wax treatment, scrub, hand massage and a shoulder massage, you really can't beat that. All of their prices are the best in town. I'd give them a 10 star review if I could. read more

Incredible salon!!!!! Unlike other shops in the area upon arriving on time for my appointment, I was immediately sat down and helped. 35$ for a BEAUTIFULLY done SNS powder fill, with a back massage AND hand mask that has my hands feeling extra soft (something other shops in the area MAY offer, but for an additional fee) A nice perk was that this shop was extraordinarily clean as well I was even offered a free small travel size bottle of hand lotion for the holiday season. I will most DEFINITELY be returning to this salon when I get back in town. read more

I'm not one who often indulges in pedicures. This place is a hidden gem for pedicures within the Stop and Shop Plaza. Best pampering I've ever had for $30. Pedicure with sanitized equipment and tools, exfoliating scrub, paraffin wax, 10 minute foot massage and a choice of a wide array of polish. Bonus shoulder and neck massage while drying. I recommend making an appointment as opposed to waking in. Ask for Amy. I'm booking my appointment for next month! read more

The staff is so sweet and polite. They are clean, definitely Worth the drive from Lisbon.

We were visiting from out of town and needed pedicures and manicures. We saw all the great reviews for Lavender Nails. Now we know why! My husband and I both got 15 minutes of leg and foot massage with our pedicures. Our manicures were impeccable! Toward the end, we were asked if we wanted a back massage. Of course we said yes. We are so glad we did. We left the salon with the best manicures and pedicures and totally stress free after our messages! We can't wait to come back on our next visit! read more

Just got the worst pedicure of my life. The guy who did it was very rude and my toes looked like a 4 year old painted them. When I asked him to repaint them, he got upset but did. He rushed through again and I have paint all over my feet. This is his second attempt. When he finished, he plopped down and wouldn't say goodbye when I left. I won't be back. I could have painted my toes better myself. read more

I came in on a Sunday afternoon looking for a quick mani pedi. Just moved to the area and haven't found a nail place yet. I came in with a dress on and they gave me a towel while I got a pedicure without me even saying anything about it :) So welcoming!! So clean and organized. And it's fairly large inside which definitely gives a different feel than those small nail salons. Will make this my new nail place in town for sure! read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

Best pedicure ever! Why can't this place be in Colorado so I can be a regular! I guess it will be when visiting our daughter and family! The neck massage after was on the light side, but they are not licensed massage therapists after all! Good price, good service, pleasant surroundings and a great pedicure! They don't speak English well so enjoy your quiet time and relax! Thanks Jessica! read more

This is my new nail salon! First of all, the salon is Immaculate! The cleanest nail salon I have been to, everything is organized, tons of colors to choose from and relaxing music. Not to mention, the service is exceptional!! they take their time and make sure they give you what you pay for and then some. Their prices are more then reasonable... and for what you get they could be charging more. I went in for a Gel polish, they cleaned and prepped my nails using a brand new.. in the package.. tool set. The atmosphere was so relaxing and they paid attention to every detail. Paraffin wax, back massage and hand massage included in the price.. all for $25?! That is amazing. I would recommend this to friends and family and anyone who is looking for a great spa experience !!! read more

I chose the $40 Flower spa pedicure and my technician was an incredibly young and quiet girl called Candy. I haven't had a lot of pedis but this one outdid everything else by a mile! Layer upon layer of treatments, wraps, and massages that lasted just short of 1-1/2 hours. Everything seemed very clean and I have zero complaints except to say some sort of drink would have been welcome but no biggie. read more

OK so I am a licensed nail technician and I have been to many nail salons so I know what I'm talking about the average nail appointment is supposed to last 45 minutes to an hour I was in this appointment for two hours and 20 minutes and was late for what I had to do. That's just the first of many problems. So I walked in and I ask him for a full set of acrylic nails she puts the tip on and everything right and then proceeds to use nail dip I don't know if you know what that is but it's a powder that you use as nail polish you dip it in the powder and it turns to nail polish usually people who want to keep their natural nails use it and it protects their nails and lasts longer and doesn't smudge off you're not supposed to use it A replacement for acrylic so after she dips my nail and I say what are you doing I don't want dip I want acrylic and she said yeah yeah yeah I know and proceeds to add seven layers of dip polish. and I wanted red black and white nails with flame so he used red black and white dip so now I can't even change my polish color. Also when you use dip especially with Covid going around you're supposed to pour some out in a separate container because once you put your finger in at your contaminating the powder but he didn't he uses the container it came in that hundreds of other people have dip their fingers and I assume Now it's time for the designs he calls his chair over who's been sitting on the couch using his iPad the whole time to do the designs and they come out so bad that he hast to wipe it off six times it gets to the point where I have to take the brush and do one of the designs myself and he still charge me for it.So since he used the wrong product and didn't give me what I want I can't even get a nail fill or change my polish if I wanted to change my nails I'd have to Pay $60 for a whole new set versus 20 for a filling. The only good thing about this whole experience was the massage at the end I would not recommend coming to this nail salon worst experience I've ever had out of my five years of being a cosmetologist read more

Went here to have them wax my eyebrows. And just an eyebrow wax was exactly what I got. My wait wasn't long. The lady lead me to the small wax room. It wasn't the most relaxing experience because 3 bright lights in the ceiling beamed right down on my face. The lady wasted no time, and went straight to cleansing the surface with a cotton round, and then put the wax right on. It was a little hotter than I was used to., but still bearable. The waxing was done quickly, and she didn't have much to pluck. She didn't do any trimming, which is usually done whenever I'd go to salons. But it's not like I asked her to trim either. When she was done, the shape was good, but she didn't clean the wax residue off my face before handing me the mirror. I did pay dollars cheaper than all those other salons charged. So at the end of the appointment, it wasn't that bad, but could still improve experience by diffusing the lights, and cleansing the skin after, removing wax residue. But still good results. read more

Wonderful nail spa! Had the best pedicure of my life here. So relaxing and clean. Friendly employees and long massages. Will definitely be returning! read more

This place is amazing !! My hands are a little rough from working. But they worked magic on these paws The staff are extremely friendly and the prices are awesome. They took very good care of my hands. Lots of detail put into my filing them. I was massaged while my nails soaked in polish remover. And they even dipped my hands in wax after, that's a first but my hands are so soft and nice now. read more

Lavender Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Waterford, Connecticut

Too pricey and they didn't do at all what I wanted I asked from acrylic , And got gel and my nails already chipped . Highly disappointed.

Lavender Nail and Spa was amazing - don't let the exterior of the business fool you, the inside was immaculately clean, their equipment was well maintained and organized well - the autoclave for sterilizing their equipment were in good repair and visible to the customers - so you know each set was in fact clean. The staff were very pleasant, despite being super busy, they knew most of their customers by name and had amazing relationships with them - one of the customers brought their favorite nail artist a gift. Definately worth the price read more

Great place it was clean the staff were nice and very accommodating definitely coming back again

If your black or Hispanic don't go your money is no good for them I was enjoying one of my many visits when a white lady walked in I was left with my nails undone literally she went to the next seat and started the white ladies nails Black Lives Matter smh read more

Very clean, sanitary pedicures. Got a massage plus Paraffin wax. My feet were very soft and I left happy

I went in for acrylic nails which they don't do. They offered SN powder but my nails weren't long enough. They said they could put fake nail tips on to make them longer but did not say a price. They charged me 63$ to do my nails in the same time it took me to have them done normally and they said it was because of the time it took. I wish they had told me the price in advance because I would've said no. The people are always nice and do a good job but I feel like they took advantage of me. I still included a tip because the girl did a nice job but I would never pay that much for just powder nails if I could've argued it or changed my mind. Very disappointed. read more

Really disappointed, I saw some great reviews! The salon was clean and well-kept. Unfortunately, I can't give you a full review of the service because I didn't even get serviced!! There were three or four other customers in the salon, but I was told the wait time would last more than an hour?? Absolutely absurd. Which is a shame, because I found the prices to be pretty reasonable. Don't come here unless you plan on being here for a while. read more
