First, I'm not sure why the race of the people working at Avalon is relevant - I don't find it cool, useful, or funny to point something like that out when it doesn't contribute one bit to the review of the service provided. Next, I really liked my experience here. While most other nail salons were closed on Sunday afternoon, this one was open, bustling, and had reasonable prices. We were greeted in a friendly manner, the place looked very clean, and they had a good variety of polish colors. I'm writing this review a couple of weeks later since I wanted to see how my pedi would hold up during a trip to Hilton Head, and a few business trips. No chips in the polish! And that's saying a lot for someone who usually messes up at least one big toe on the drive home.
