  • Ok, confession time. I have not had a pedicure until March of this year at Avalon. I wanted my toes to look great on the beach, and figured I'd give that gel nail polish I've heard so much about a try. They turned out all right, though I was a little underwhelmed with the experience I had at Avalon. Mall nail salons don't have the best reputation, but I only decided to go to the mall and find Avalon after going to Nail Studio II down the road and seeing it was closed for the day. It was about 7:30 and the mall closes at 9, so my boyfriend and I had plenty of time to get our feet looking right for our upcoming vacation. Without throwing him under the bus, let's just say my his feet aren't the most glamorous thing. We were seated quickly in an almost empty salon and a woman began filling the water for our feet. She handed me a sheet with pricing on it and I opted for the basic gel pedicure that includes the salt scrub, hot towel, brief massage (seriously BRIEF), and the whole 9 yards with getting my nails painted. I got a male nail tech who was friendly and talkative, which made the experience pleasant. I take pride in how well I care for my nails, so he skipped over some of the dirty work I guess he'd have to do otherwise. The woman that was working hard on my boyfriend's feet didn't speak much English, but she was very fast and he finished up well before I did, though his pedicure didn't include a couple coats of a shimmery polish like mine. I chose a nice pink shade with some glitter. My nail tech did 3 coats of paint and honestly I probably should have told him to add a 4th. It's been about 2 weeks since I visited Avalon and my feet have survived 6 days of the beach as well as the routine wear and tear of wearing flats that almost always rub off the edges of my non-gel nail polishes. They look ok, but the polish is definitely more translucent than I'd like it to be. Both of our pedis totaled out at $73 and I left feeling like I wasn't sure it was worth it, but my nail tech did his job. Next time I'll probably look elsewhere, but I'm not overly impressed with Avalon. My impression was that a pedicure would have me feeling luxurious and relaxed, but it was so short that it was over before I knew it and I was on my way. It was nice to not be the one painting my own toes, but aside from that I wasn't feeling the spa-like vibes I was looking for.
