When we got there the place was packed and I asked for a cool French tip design but the dude said he couldn’t do it so I just did navy blue French tips. I originally had a girl but she left and never came back and some dude just started doing my nails. When he started he kept like drilling my skin and hurting me. Finally he did the acrylic. When he was doing the French tips he messed it up and left it like that and he only did one coat so it’s see through. He put something on top that left bubbles and made my clear nails turn YELLOW I got them done yesterday at 1 and now they are turning yellow?! I don’t smoke or vape, I didn’t cook or use dyes. I watched tv.Services: Manicure

Even if you're desperate, please do not go here. This place has seriously ruined my nails. I came to get a gel manicure and remove my old set of gel nails. Instead of doing a soak off the nail tech used the nail drill to remove the gel. This caused damage to my nails and made them incredibly weak. Additionally, it seemed like the nail tech had absolutely no experience painting nails. In the process of applying the gel nail polish she continuously painted on the skin of my nails and then would try to wipe it off with a paper towel and start over again...when it wouldn't come off she then tried to file the mistakes off. All while the gel paint wasn't even dry!!! There are better places in oak park. Please do not support this business.

I’ve been bringing my 87 year old mom to Avenue Nails for the past 2 and a half years. They are WONDERFUL with her- especially Sam who goes above and beyond in his service for her. They do great work, efficiently when you need it, and more luxuriously when you want to relax. I highly recommend.Services: Manicure

I've had my share of not great manicures and can deal with them, but this was too much. The photos tell a lot of the story, but the manicurist also filled my nails down to nubs, so I've gotta wait weeks to even have them look somewhat decent where they can be fixed.Service: Manicure

I had a bad experience at Avenue Nail Spa today. This was my first visit to the spa. I was greeted very warmly by one technician but was assigned to another technician that was very cold and didn't even say hello. The first issue was the water in the basin was cold. I had to ask for Hot water. Next she didn't allow my feet to soak before starting the pedicure. I told the tech (older lady with short hair cut) that I just wanted her to scrub my feet well and didn't want a foot or leg massage. As I wanted to get rid of the skin on the side of my Big toe. The tech just swiped my foot a couple of times then proceeded to massage my legs after being told that I wasn't interested in that service. The nail color I chose (OPI White) was thick and she used acetone to thin it out twice. I asked if she could get me another bottle and she said "no, there are no more" and there were literally 4 other bottles on the shelf. I didn't say anything further. The color on my toes are literally a yellow/beige tinge. I was given a very poor service. My feet were not soaked. My feet were not cleansed. She placed soap on my feet and put them in the basin. The skin on the side of my Big toes was not removed or buffed away. She just gave a few lack luster swipes. No lotion or cream was offered or applied. The manicure was lack luster as well. I did state that I would need to pick another color for the manicure because the other color was so thick and dried out. I've never received such bad service. I really did not appreciate this.

I’ve been here a few times now and my nails always come out great! Price is a little higher but service is great and usually no wait time. They have lots of colors to pick from. They are also clean and their employees wear masks.Services: Manicure

I walk in at 7:30p assuming plenty of time for a pedicure and full set since they close at 8:30p. I noticed they had a few customers and about 3 employees minimum not servicing anyone and no one getting pedicures. They would not service me because they stated “we take our last customers at 7:30p.” I asked if they can at least do one service, the employees spoke back and forth and was hesitant. I walked out. I only went here as a last resort since there was not another salon open nearby at that hour. Should have followed my first mind…I will not be returning!

Do not go here EVER. Horrible customer service and even worse product. I absolutely hate reviewing small businesses poorly but this was truly the worse salon experience of my life.There were bubbles ALL OVER my pedicure. The "prep" last LITERALLY 30 seconds. The total pedicure was ~5 mins. Lady doing my toes had absolutely no f*cks to give and was haphazardly putting polish on and coloring outside the nail, and not even wiping it off. Was completely unresponsive to requests to clean it up. I went home and had to redo them myself because it was so horrendous.Not to mention the floors were incredibly slippery. They even SAW that I was literally slipping and gave no apologies or even to wipe the floor down. Extreme safety hazard.I was going to get a mani too, but saw how they just drilled down my existing gel mani and left an insane amount of gel in my nails. I stopped them before the polish and left.Do NOT go here! Extremely rude, terrible service, and safety hazard!Service: Pedicures

The Avenue Nail Salon was the worse place I have ever been to for mani pedi. It was dirty, the nail tech was rude and kept hitting me or yelling at me. I would never go back and have told all my friends in Oak Park to stay out of the salon.

I don't know why there are so many poor reviews. Maybe things have changed. I thought I'd try the place out and it was quite an enjoyable experience. My technician was attentive and kind. The place was clean and welcoming. I saw a sign for a hot stone pedicure; looking forward to trying that service next time.

This place is great. I don't understand the bad reviews. My no chip mani looks beyond fabulous and my pedicure was done perfectly. I didn't catch the name of the gal that took care of me, but she did a phenomenal job.

The younger girl working there was very unprofessional and rude. She did everything aggressive and seemed like she didn’t want to be there or that all of the customers there were an inconvenience. She filed my nails are crooked and none of them were the same length. I’m sure there are other places to get your services done.

I live in OP and tried this place twice. They really do a POOR job. The polish was pooling at the base of my nail bed and was also uneven. The worst mani/pedi I've ever had. Which is unfortunate since I live a block away.
