I had just moved to the area and needed a nail salon. I was pretty specific on my requirements. Let's just say I refuse to go to the places found in your shopping malls & on every corner. I came across Avare, walked in, made an appt. for same day, met Heidi and loved her. Prices are the same as what I paid back in Chicago. She is great! And I had the same nail tech, a friend of mine, for over 8 years so I was happy to find Heidi and her services so quickly. I have now been back a couple times. Very cute, airy overall space as well & rest of staff are also friendly! Highly suggest for gel nails!!
