I've been coming here for a while now, mostly for gel manicures and the occasional pedicure and I have had wonderful experiences every time. The staff is very kind and knowledgeable, and always understand exactly what my vision is for my nails. Very reasonable prices for the area, and a nice clean and relaxing setting. Can't ask for much more! Read Less

I wouldn't come back!!! I just needed to get a slight pedicure and I didn't enjoy how she did it. I guess I'm use to the finer pedicures in life lol that when I stop in a regular shop for a last resort this is what I get. She was friendly but the polish job was not well executed and it wasn't a relaxing experience. Read Less

I will not be coming back here again. This was my first time and I was turned off by the young guy that did my pedicure. What irritated me was that before he painted my toes I wanted to put my flip flops on first so that the polish would not get messed up later. When I asked to put them on he said "I'm not finished yet" and I told him I would rather have them on before he painted them but he wouldn't let me!!! Then at the end he struggled so hard to get my flip flops on so that he wouldn't mess up the polish. He was a complete ass about it. The color I chose looks nice but I wish I had of gotten someone different!! Read Less

AVOID AVOID AVOIDIf I could give this place no stars I would. Tri, the man doing my nails, was awesome. He took his time and created conversation so it wasn't awkward just sitting there. But everything else was horrible. I WATCHED THEM SQUEEZE LIQUID INTO THE NAIL POLISH. Then painted my nails!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUSA man was doing my friend's pedicure and then left her sitting there without finishing to attend to another woman who had just sat down.  Then the woman doing my other friend's pedicure cut his nails lop sided and WAY to short and rushed to finish to start on  my friend's manicure leaving her nails painted UNEVEN, not  paint  rs. They ONLY accept cash tips though they have multiple signs saying "Please consider gratitudes in cash. It is much appreciated" Read Less

This nail salon is a winner because they have plenty of color choices for SNS nails!  Plus, my nails don't chip between treatments! The technicians seem to know their stuff.  Not as nicely decorated as other upscale places I've been visited, but this is my new place...I'm choosing good quality application over aesthetics.

So. I have only been there 2x.  First time was quite good and the staff was very friendly.  Second time - after getting a gel polish on my toes for a wedding my nail literally just came off whole.  I now have a horrendous fungus to deal with.  I have NEVER in my life had any sort of toe nail problem or infection.  I am just praying at this point it does not get any worse.  I will never ever go there again - tub/water pedicures are an absolute nightmare avoid avoid avoid!

They dont know how to properly do full sets..Nails still bullky after a bad file job..Ambience is nice, but the attitude amd talking bad about customers when they're not satisfied with the product is unacceptable, i will not return under any circumstances..Only good thing was the guy who worked in the front and the guy who did my pedicure, very professional and polite unlike the rest of them.

I came in at the last minute and they were really nice. I was fully expecting to see eye rolling but I didn't get any. Actually after I sat at the pedicure chair the nice young lady apologized for keeping me waiting. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Crofton area. Read Less

Tried Avalon today for the first time. I had to wait about 15 minutes or so before I got a pedicure chair. I sat with my feet in water for about 15 minutes and then I was told I had to move to another chair. Apparently the group of 3 coming in were more important than me? Nobody apologized for the inconvenience or the fact that I had to walk over with dripping toes. My new chair had cold water. I saw people around me being offered water but I wasn't given any.Everyone seems to love this place and the pedicure was decent but took a loooong time. Not a great first impression at all. I'll probably try a different place instead of going back here. Read Less

I have been trying so many different nail salons in the Bowie, MD area.  I decided to try Avalon and from the moment I walked in I knew I found my new spot.  It is clean, the staff are extremely pleasant.  They did not rush me to pick a color.  They were willing to try to replicate a design that I found on Pintrest and was happy to do it.  They introduced me to the the new Cat Eye nail and I love it.  My tech was Jonathan and the young lady that did the design was Katrina.  I had a great time and felt as though I have been going there forever.  I think I found my forever nail shop.  Give them a try, you won't be sorry.Thank you to all of the employees for the spectacular experience.Jenn Read Less

I walked into this place without an appointment last Saturday for a manicure and pedicure. I walked in based on the yelp reviews. This was my first visit and it will be my last. The male receptionist was very friendly, that was really the only good thing about  this place. The pedicure chairs are old, uncomfortable, broken, and placed too close together. You only get one of the tray out to put your purse or water or book on. The other tray could not be raised because the chairs were too close together.The products they use are inferior. I got a french manicure and french pedicure and the polish on my nails and toes starting chipping the following day.The technician assigned to me cut my toe. Also, she kept loudly talking to the technician sitting next to her and wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. This was on of the worst experiences I have had in a while. Read Less

This is a great place they have great pedicures and they really take their time. I got my spa pedicure and a new acrylic set which took me three hours in the salon. I do wish that I could have had two people working on me at the same time so that I could only spend an hour and a half in there and not three hours. I am very picky with my nails so I had to guide her on the shape. I wish that nail artist would recognize small details like making sure the shape of the nails are the same on each nail and not have one too thin and one thick etc. . I look at things like that, and I feel like I'm annoying when I ask them to make them even. They are OK with acrylics better at pedisI attached a picture of my gel nails after I received them. I didn't take a picture of the before Read Less

After trying many of the salons in the area, this hidden gem is by far the BEST!! I came to try the SNS mani and am so glad that I did!! Kevin always works his magic and I leave with a PERFECT manicure. I have gone up to 4 weeks with no chipping!! SNS lasts much longer than gel and leaves my nails a lot healthier and stronger. Kevin is always extremely pleasant and chats during my mani. I come to this salon regularly and have never left unhappy. Definitely the best salon in the area! Read Less

Does a great job.I'm allergic to acrylic and they do liquid gel nails... so I can get the fake nail without using acrylic or the asotone.Nice employees. The only thing that irritates me is when I call to make an appointment... I specifically ask for the liquid gel nails... and they book me in. I get there and they sit me down with someone who is going to do the regular gel nails... and not the liquid gel... so I end up having to wait or coming back a different day as only a couple workers know how to do the liquid gel nails.
