Avina Nails And Spa - Lakeland (FL)

gabrielle govoni What I wanted VS what I got. Now I did ask for the French tip on the middle. But MAN. Let me tell you about my experience and my first time at HN. I was seated with Pam. As we got into the nail process, I showed her my design and she asked What color I would like for the background of my pointer and ring finger. I told her I would like it to be nude, she looked at me, shrugged, pulled out a color, palette and pointed to a few different brownish. Light tan could be considered nude colors… I pointed to the picture again and asked her if there was nothing more like the picture she flipped to the back of Her color palette and pointed to one and I said sure it was a semi off white I had hope would be light enough with the first coat . I had assumed that was the best she had when she applied the color it became VERY white. I was not looking for White. When I asked if she was sure there was no way we could make this color more nude, she reaches to the table next to her and pulls out a nude nail polish and proceeds to put this nude nail polish over this white nail polish. And so I asked her is that nude? And she said yes? I said is there no way we can just use the nude color? And her response was so you want me to take these three off? I said well I wanted nude to begin with so yes, I would like you to remove those. She aggressively shoved my hand into the heater and began to prepare to remove the color from my nails. Moving forward to the dotted nails, she did not Even attempt to align the design with the center of the nail. And when I asked her to fix it, she once again seemed agitated. She did not keep my hands clean of dust, and as she angrily applied the second coat of polish, she pulled in a lot of nail dust so my nails are coated in small bumps and are not smooth. AND TO TOP IT OFF she didn’t even push my cuticle back, she just piled the nail right on top of it!! My right middle finger is RIDICULOUS! In other cases left it wherever it was and the base is just whatever shape the cuticle was… Lastly some nails are super thick and others are paper thin, could slice you open. It’s wild. If I had had more time I would ask for someone to redo the set, but sadly I don’t and it’s frustrating to leave with nails I don’t like but have to pay for. This was my first time here.. and I was so nervous to come.. However while sitting there I noticed a different nail tech who seemed to really know his stuff and I had seen his last set walk in for a new set and both sets looked amazing- and over all the price was the best I’ve seen in a long time. So I’m willing to give the place one more chance. Update!!!!! I can’t make a new review for some reason however.. IM SO GLAD I WENT BACK!! Kay understood the assignment and nailed it! She did away with the bird claws and gave me sleek and sexy! What I wanted vs what I got done right!!!

Brittany DeWitt Kim girl!! Love her to the moon and back! She is by far the best in Lakeland and I will follow her wherever she goes haha. She has done my nails since they have opened and I REFUSE to go anywhere else. She is so personable and such an absolute sweet heart! If you want your nails to always look the best go and see her. She works her butt off and takes pride in all that she does! 110% the best nail stylist! P.S try out the IBD gel it is soooo much better than dip gel, acrylic etc! Below are just a few pictures of what she has done for me!

Maikao Lee My husband and I walked in without an appointment as soon as they were open. They greeted us and have us seated. Wonderful pedicures and amazing massages! The heated neck wraps and eye mask during our pedicures were absolutely wonderful! 5 out of 5! Thanks again!

Cheryl Bauman This is the best nail salon in Lakeland. I had my nails done by Tony. He was the coolest nail artist I’ve had the pleasure talking to. He listened to what I wanted and made appropriate recommendations for me to achieve my desired nails. I got the pink and white powder (which is used for dip). The spa is so beautiful. The pedicure chairs are brand new and give fantastic massages. The chairs even lean all the way back if you need a nap. The woman that did my pedicure was very kind and incredibly quick, which I always appreciate. I will be back here every month for my mani and pedi! I highly recommend you give them a try!

Jovani Valdez had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and the service exceeded my expectations. My nails were done exactly as I requested—I prefer to keep them short and natural-looking, and they delivered perfectly. My pedicure was phenomenal; I almost fell asleep! The technician was especially careful with a toe injury that never healed properly, which I truly appreciated. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality nail care in a peaceful setting!

Greeneyed Betni Jessica is such an amazing person. She makes you feel like the center of the world when shes working with you. She is always learning and educating herself on how to be better for her clients. Im going on 2 years as a loyal customer and I hope she stays in business forever. She can do it all. If youre looking for esthetician work, facials, waxing manicure, pedicure and more give her a call.

Karla Ramos Client of Mildred for over 15 years. That should say more than any words. Customer service is always great. I will trust any girly in her salon because they all get the job done & right ! Yailen does beautiful pedicures, give them a try, you won’t be dissatisfied.

Isabella Williams The photos do not do this set justice. I have been getting my nails done forever and this is by far the best set I have ever had. It is inspired by the movie Coraline and it’s perfect for spooky season coming up! Not only are these my favorite nails i’ve ever gotten by far, but I had so much fun getting them. Sefany is so nice and patient and really stands out because she takes her time to make sure my nails are perfect. She is invested in getting my nails healthier which is so important to me as a lifetime nail biter. She gave me cuticle oil that has made my nails so much stronger and noticeably longer. I am so so happy with this set and I am already looking forward to my next appointment. :)

Anna Stewart Jackie works MIRACLES on nails!!! Super clean, very creative and pays CLOSE attention to detail!!! Her na room is decorated super cute and she makes you feel right at home! If you’re looking for something special, she is your girl! A+++!!!
