Avalon Nails & Spa

This place is great, by far my favorite nail salon in San Angelo! Free beverages, friendly customer service, and my pedi/​mani was amazing. They try their best to make you feel important and not rushed. Definitely recommend this salon if you’re looking for a relaxing moment away from some stress!

Sadly I have had to downgrade my review. Previously a 5 star experience, I now see this as a more 3 or 4 star. The prices seemed to slightly increase and the service a slight decrease. The pedicure was rushed and shorter then what I’ve had in the past and unless you’re getting shilac polish they pay little attention to the actual painting process. Also the fish tank in there smelled of rotten fish and needed to be cleaned.
On the positive side they still have tons of people working there so there isn’t usually a wait and they have complimentary beverages.
I’m going to rate and overall 4 because they do now use bags for the pedis and brand new tools that I saw them open.

«The worst pedicure of my life,» said my sister as we were wrapping up. I gazed down at her feet, and they looked like mine when I used to paint my nails as a teenager. «Well your nails look nice», I said, looking at her hands. «I did those» she replied, «while I was waiting for my pedi». And then another client’s daughter stepped on her foot as she was carelessly throwing something away reaching right between the two of us. I was eager to leave. I did not have my feet done, but rather a full leg wax.
I’ve had my legs waxed for over ten years, and this experience was, remarkable. It’s been about four hours and I’ve still got wax everywhere: on my underwear (no throw away panties), on the bottom of my feet (wax got all over the floor), and all over my legs along with about fifteen pounds of baby powder. I don’t need to get into the awkward try and try again repetition that went into removing some stubborn wax from my bum, but I’ll let you know there is still wax there. 90 minutes of dipping, spreading, pressing, and pulling… for EIGHTY dollars. What?! My regular lady takes about 30 minutes with a roll on applicator, charges me half of that, and I’ve never been left «stuck» with all this wax on me.
Overall this experience is not one I’d like anyone else to endure.

I was a first walk-​in to this salon last Saturday and I was pleasantly greeted and offered drinks on arrival. I got a gentleman by the name of Kevin, who did a wonderful job on my fill and my daughter got another male worker, whom I didn’t get his name. The greeter had a great sense of humor and Kevin was amazing! And I could her my daughter talking to her guy the whole time. Overall great experience. Kevin took his time and made sure my nail shape, filing, buffing, and coloring was to perfection. My design wasnt too intricate. but he really took his time with me and you can just tell he cares about his craft. I’ll be looking forward to go there in two weeks.

I just got a Brazilian wax and my full legs done and I walked out with my legs as they are in the photo. She left huge patches on my bikini line and only removed it after I told her that needed to be gone. I informed her this was my first time getting waxed and she didn’t give me any aftercare instructions after I left. Waxing is not cheap and I only got it done for my honeymoon but it seems like I wasted my money because I will still have to shave after this experience anyway.

I go back and forth about this place. The inside is very nice and new, I haven’t been happy with my last few manicures, but came in for a pedicure this afternoon and it was fast and good!

I went here with my mom to get a pedicure and a manicure. The staff that came to me (I was told she is the owners daughter) spoke very good English. She was VERY rude and stand offish when I asked her about services and price. My mom and I left and went to a nail salon that wanted our business.
I say just don’t even bother… very very rude waitstaff.

Signed in but don’t know why I bothered they have started on several people who came in after me. Don’t even try to ask a question from a employee you will be ignored. Not good service today. I think they they need more employees working on a Saturday. Employees are not friendly.

I just moved from California and was worried I wouldn’t find a place that was up to my standards here. I was completely wrong! My friend took me to Avalon nails for a pedicure and I fell in love with the place. Everything was first class from the décor, to the pedicure. They offer you drinks while your getting your nails done (non alcoholic). There are different fragrances to choose from for the scrub that come with the spa pedicure (green tea, tangerine, lavender, milk & honey and a few others).
Everything they use is clean. That is my main concern. I’ve been several times since then and have had a wonderful experience each time. It is such a relaxing environment.
For a pedicure (includes callus remover) and the Shellac manicure with French tip color I paid $ 60 which is about right because French is always an additional cost and Shellac is more expensive. They have so many Shellac colors to choose from.
I just got back from the salon and had to post a review.
For anyone that is moving here from out do town this salon will exceed your expectations!
