The whole experience was so calming, I almost fell asleepβ¦ except I would have missed the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives episode they had on πKay is fantastic, and really assured my confidence walking in that I would get what I wanted. Lee was my artist and she is fantastic. Sheβs really talented and checked in throughout her work to make sure I was happy with the progress.Pictures include my nails and the Pinterest post I asked for as reference.
I originally picked this salon because of the reviews but literally the BEST service Iβve ever received.Kay confirmed my appt when I booked, the week of, and the day of my appointment. I got a dip manicure and a pedicure. The lady who did my nails made sure my nails were perfect. She took her time and was very precise. My dip has lasted for 4 weeks before 2 nails chipped. I fixed the two nails with my at-home dip manicure kit and continue to rock them after 6 weeks!! They lasted twice as long as any other dip manicure Iβve ever received.My only concern is they didnβt use bags in the pedicure station for sanitary purposes; however, someone deep cleaned it immediately after I finished. The rest of the salon was extremely clean as well.
Great place. Beautiful decor. Friendly staff. But a little pricey for the area. But she did do a very good job.
It was my first time getting a pedicure. Kay, the owner, made me feel very at ease. I got a basic manicure. It was so relaxing! I will definitely be back. Thank you Kay!
Ava Paige Nails is absolutely the best place to get ANY nail or wax service! Kay is the best nail tech around. I live almost an hour away from Ava Paige, and wouldnβt consider going anywhere else. I highly recommend making an appointment, as they book up fast. Donβt hesitate, make your appointment now!
Kay is awesome! The sweetest, coolest woman. She did my nails for my wedding and now Im hooked! Ava Paige Nails is a cute, clean, modern nail salon. Food Network or HGTV always playing on the TV, which is amazing. The other customers are fun to chat with and all of the ladies who work there are so kind. They do an amazing job. I cant reccommend them enough!
Best place Iβve ever been to. Kay is amazing and the work she does is always above perfect! Wonβt go any where else besides Kay!
This place is so unprofessional. They over charged me and messed up on my nails. Would recommend that you donβt go.
I just went here and they did such a good job! They are really nice and itβs a very comfortable salon. Iβm definitely going to continue going.
Owner is extremely rude. I had to use the bathroom and there was mold in there.
Your blind sided with the price for no chip manicure and regular pedicure. Over priced.
Kay at Ava Paige is absolutely phenomenal. Adorable little salon where all techs take their time to do an amazingly perfect job. I do a dip manicure and it lasts three weeks with no issues. It looks perfect still and I go simply because of the outgrowth. All of the ladies are super sweet, helpful and make you feel like family. Absolutely can not say enough positive things about Ava Paige or the ladies that work there.
The talented nail artists at Ava Paige do a beautiful job, no matter what kind of nail service you want. The atmosphere is pleasant and friendly, and they make an effort to accommodate your appointment needs. Iβve never been dissatisfied with any of their services. If you want beautiful nail care, call Ava Paige Salon for an appointment.
I have been going to Ava Paige Nails for almost a year now. Kay and the rest of the nail techs are super friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices are absolutely reasonable. You get what you paid for, and thatβs definitely QUALITY. The nail technicians take their time, salon is always super clean. I highly recommend making an appointment first before coming in. They respect everyones time, wonβt give you the runaround. Which i really like and appreciate. This is my absolute FAVORITE spot, hands down!!!
Kay and her crew are the only ones I come to for my nails. Im a distance runner with calloused feet and ingrown nails like youve not seen before. They ALWAYS take excellent care of my nails, nailbeds and calluses. Ive come here for 3 years now and hope they stay for the long haul!!!! She also always fits me in and confirms appointments the day before with kind text messages. Only place Ill go!!
Ava Paige Nails is the best!! Kay has been doing my nails for years and she is absolutely amazing. She cares so much about her work and truly loves what she does. The same can be said of everyone who works with her. She always tries her best to get you in, including coming in early, staying late and coming in on her days off. She uses the best products, has more colors than you can even imagine, is up on all the new nail trends, and her salon is gorgeous!I have to take a minute to respond to a negative review left by Diane. I was actually in the salon during half of her and her daughters appointments and I can tell you the nail techs were jumping through hoops trying to make her happy even when it seemed nothing would. She complained about everything, at one point even arguing over two dollars. Finally Kay agreed to accept whatever she was willing to pay just to stop her from complaining and putting on a show in front of the other clients who came to a high-end nail salon for a little peace and relaxation.Just for the record, this is not a buy one get one free, everything is on sale type of nail salon. The prices are reasonable, but if you cant afford them, there are several salons lining Roosevelt Road that cater to a clientele who perhaps is accustomed to paying $20 for gel nails. I felt I had to speak up because it is hard enough to launch a new business without people writing unfounded negative reviews.
Ava Paige Nails in Lombard is a place where you can definitely feel pretty and pampered. The tech are very professional and prompt. The appointment times they give you are very accurate. If for some reason they are running late, you are notified by your tech to arrive maybe 15 minutes later. Never longer then that. Iβve never had a bad experience here. This is a very clean and classy place. The tech are all coordinated in the same colors. They make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. Iβve never had a bad experience here. Iβve been to a lot of nail salons but here they take care of their clients. No need for Latrice to look any further, I feel right at home at Ava Paige nails. Iβve made appointments with whatever tech was open and I have gotten good quality work from all of them. I will spread the word about Ava Paige Nails. You canβt go wrong walking in here. I walked in and havenβt walked in another nail shop since I started coming to Ava Paige Nails. Thanks to all the staff at Ava Paige Nails for a job well done.
Amazing places with very friendly and talented staff! Will definitely be coming back again!
Let me start by saying Kay does EXCELLENT work. Unfortunately, I am not able to leave 5 stars though because I have been trying to schedule an appointment with her for 2 weeks but she will not take my calls or return my texts, so today I called just to see if she would answer and she did not so I called from my work phone immediately after and she picked up right away, so I guess she really IS ignoring my calls for some reason. Not sure why, my few experiences with her have been very pleasant or at least I thought they were, but you never know peoples reasons for doing the things they do. Oh well, hopefully Ill find another nail tech that does as good of a job as Kay. UPDATE: I have to retract some of what I said....seems there may have been a misunderstanding. I was able to make an appointment after all and Kay did an amazing job as always.
I have been going to Ava Paige nails for about a year now. Kay is so wonderful, my nails come out perfect every time. I have an appointment and she always takes me on time. The salon is clean and welcoming.The picture is from my most recent visit. #fallsamplepack
I have been getting my nails done at Ava Paige since they opened. I followed Kay from her previous location when she opened this lovely new salon. She always does a great job on my nails and I leave the shop happy and relaxed every time. Always friendly and happy, her team works beautifully together. Thanks Kay!P.s. I am always surprised at how many people stop in without an appointment for services, and are disappointed that the team canβt immediately fit them in. Be good to yourself and to them and make an appointment for special time set aside just for you. You wonβt be disappointed!
Friendly, calm environment with excellent service. The technicians both took their time with my services (dip nails (with Kay the owner) and The Ava Paige Pedicure (another tech)). I never felt rushed and was treated very respectfully. The owner has a calming demeanor which I appreciate and I highly recommend this salon. It was my first time getting a Dip Manicure. Prices are regular-high but this is a top notch place! I will be back!
I was a walk-in and received my first dip nail treatment and it was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and courteous. They even stayed 20mins after closing to allow extra time for my nails to dry. Wonderful ladies here, absolutely returning. Had an amazing experience.
I went to this salon the other day and had such a great experience that I wanted to write a review. After reading through existing reviews, it seems like the only one-star reviews are from people who have never even been there. You came without an appointment and are mad because you couldnt be accommodated? Thats like going to a restaurant without a reservation and then giving the restaurant a one-star review because you you couldnt get a table. Grow up. This place is awesome! Its gorgeous, clean, the techs are so nice, their work is meticulous, and they have a bajillion colors to choose from. Is it THAT difficult to make an appointment? The best nail salon in the area in my opinion.
Ive been coming to this salon for over a year now for dip manicures. The manicure looks impeccable for 3 weeks and only looks bad then because of the growth of my nails after that long. I have gone to other salons and the dip only lasts a few days before its all scratched and looks bad. You will need an appointment so plan in advance but I promise it is worth it. I will never go to another salon! Kay and her team are the best :)
Very lovely nail salon! Itβs so peaceful and quiet and a place you can really come to relax! I remember Kay being at Fedora Kate where my aunt first took me to get nails done a couple of years ago. Kay is so sweet, we followed her to Ava! Her employees are also so polite and do a really good job!π
Went for the first time a few months ago, as my friend has been a long time customer. It was such a great experience that I will definitely be going back. The shop is very clean and modern, and the staff is super attentive. They dont rush you at all, will listen to your every concern, and really take the time to make you feel relaxed. They did an excellent job, very memorable experience!
Love love love Ava Paige! Havent had a bad experience. Very friendly, clean salon. They accommodate and take their time!! Definitely recommend!
I absolutely love this place! Kay does the best dip mani Ive ever had, I highly recommend her!! Ava Paige Nails has a local following of clients because of their fantastic work, friendly customer service, and clean environment. I cant recommend them enough!I personally believe the negative reviews on yelp are not something to take into consideration when thinking about going to Ava Paige Nails (yelp sucks and they totally mess with ratings!). Ive spent hours at this salon and have only seen happy people coming and going. It has a community vibe to it for sure!
I just read all of your reviews! I just recently moved in Lombard and Im definitely looking for a GOOD nail salon. All the bad reviews are about walk-ins..... I will definitely give you a 5 star, even before coming over!!!!! I will call tomorrow to make an appointment for this weekend, hopefully ;)
Kay is amazing an has been doing my nails now for 3 years. Kay does such a great job they last 4 weeks (if I dont pick at them) but Kay is very accommodating. I have referred people to Kay and they love it. Its a great place of heaven to go to an relax, its not a production of get you in and get you out like other nail places, and have screaming kids and people, here its ZEN,... So do yourself a favor and go see Kay.
My go to spot for pedicures. They are extremely kind and accommodating.
Walked in 2 hours before closing. Said they were completely booked. Asked about tomorrow morning, said they were booked at that time as well. They should post if they only do appointments only. Most places take walk ins.
Very clean, very friendly and reasonably priced! My nails look great, I will definitely be back
I absolutely canβt wait to give Ava Paige Nails more of my business! I had to get my nails done last minute and I contacted Kay, who told me that their appointments were full that day but she would let me know if there were no-shows. Sure enough she texted me and I was able to be squeezed in that night! The woman who did my nails was Lee and she was an absolute joy. She worked quickly but skillfully, and I couldnβt stop smiling the entire time at how wonderful my nails looked. Having appointments only really allows the staff to take their time and not rush their art. I will be returning!
I love my nails!!!! Got the mani pedi combo with no-chip, totally happy with how it turned out. As usual i called to schedule an appointment, Kay was very nice and accommodating. The salon is very clean, staff was not only nice and professional, but did an amazing job on my nails. IβLL BE COMING BACK FOR SURE!!!
Amazing service. Iβve never had acrylic nails done via a dip method. So nice. No smell and very relaxing. Would totally recommend.
Kay and her staff do a wonderful job on my nails each and every time I go to her salon. I have been getting my nails done consistently since 1984, and I have gone to my share of nail technicians over the years. Kay is honestly THE BEST! I have been going to Kay for the last 7 + years and will continue to go to her salon.
Beautiful new salon! Kay, the owner, is wonderful and detail-oriented in her work. She has worked in the Oakbrook/Lombard area for years and has finally branched out on her own. I highly recommend Ava Paige Nails. Make an appointment if possible.
Clean facility, very friendly and accommodating to every need. I will definitely be back along with all my friends.
I just came today at 1 with my friend Sandy and the manager refused to take us in. My other friend claimed to come here, but this manager is really mean! I do not recommend this horrible place. Nobody deserves to be mistreated!
Awesome nail salon! If you want to relax and get great service come here but book in advance as they prefer appts.
Kay is amazing! I have been going to Kay for years, I wont go anywhere else. I just brought my daughter with to have her nails done for graduation. She loved them! Ive asked Kay to recreate Pinterest pictures Ive found and she always nails it!
I have been going to Kay for @ 7 years. She is the best and I love her new place, Ava Paige Nails. What is amazing is that Kay is so great at what she does but also truly cares about her customers and what she does for them. Her attention to detail is like no other. I got a no chip french manicure from Kay and it lasted 5 weeks, until she took it off! I lived my normal life of dishes, laundry and cleaning toilets and my no chip lasted through it all. I had not intended to go for 5 weeks it just happened that way. My french pedi lasted that long too! Thank you Kay for the great work and care you have for your customers!
First time here and I really liked it. I made an appointment, based on previous reviews and had a standard pedicure and a dip manicure with a gel topcoat. Lee was wonderful, really pleasant...she happily explained the steps of the manicure to me as I had never done the dip before. She also offered to help me select a different toe polish color since it wasnt an exact match to the dip I had picked. I cant comment on wear time as its only been a day, but my nails look great. Its pricier than other nail places, but I feel the quality of the work was great. Food network on the tv and the other patrons were very pleasant, it was clear that they had been there before. If I had to offer any criticism is that offering a bottle of water or something would have been nice, or coffeeor tea for the price...I was all in for 70 bucks without tip, but so far the quality of the work warrants that. I will be back!
They fixed my nails amazingly and didnt over charge me :) thank you! I had a horrible experience at Gold Star Nails about two miles away. Eva Paige nail salon fixed the mess up that the other places mess up. I was more than pleased with my nails when I left and they have excellent customer service!
Ava Paige Nails is great! Iβve been coming here for several months now and have never been disappointed. Kay and her staff are terrific. I used to get gel nails; but I inquired about dip, and Kay took the time to send me a link to learn more and answer my questions before I booked an appointment to try this new method thatβs working better for me. Amazing customer service! Sheβs so nice and polite, ensuring Iβm happy with nail shape and length, listening to my specific nail challenges and providing helpful solutions. Sheβs also willing to experiment with different colors and techniques (e.g., chrome nails, and a no-chip combo of polishes we used on my toes that turned out very similar to OPIβs Pompeii Purple). Manis and pedis are even more of a treat here. Itβs very clean, calm and welcoming. Although walk-ins are welcome, I recommend booking in advance (Iβm typically on a 3-week cadence for my dip nails, and periodically schedule a pedi in, too).
I found this place 8 months ago and I wont go anywhere else! Kay does a fantastic job and is always willing to try new things. Check out Ava Paige on Instagram to see firsthand.
Friendly staff, they do good work on pedis
Good job ! wow
Beautiful nail salon where you can go to relax and be pampered
Iβve passed this location so many times and never noticed it. ( couple times went to the UPS store ). they didnt turn on the open sign when they all books. The salon very clean and the employees are super friendly. Theyβre wel-knowledge also.Ps: The manager extremely nice and professional. she quizze me in and let me know when they run behind. That let me know they really care about my time. Definitely be back !
Beautiful shop. Very talanted nail technicians. My nails are perfect!!! My new go to spot.
Sign states walk in welcome however that is not the case walked in place wad empty and was asked if we had an appointment and proceeded to tell us they were booked. Suggestion find some where else or book an appointment.
This place is amazing! The owner, Kay, does fantastic work and her place is lovely. It is my favorite place to go!!
Ive been going to Kay since 2012. I wouldnt give my money to anyone else. She takes her time and does a beautiful job everytime!
They close at 7 pm and I arrive at 5:30pm. The minute they see me walk up to the door, the owner chooses to lock the door in my face! I came a week before at 6 pm and there was an hour left till they close, they refuse to take me in. This person is racist!
Iβve been to better nail salons.
Excellent customer service! Impeccably clean & modern salon! Friendly & professional staff!
Seldom do I get a mani/pedi. Its been years! My nail tech did a lovely job. I have lots of ridges on my fingernails but she made them look beautiful. However, I had an issue with the nail colors matching. Apparently powder dip alters a color and subsequently will make toes and fingernail colors not match? Nevertheless, after expressing my concerns they worked on my nails helping me choose colors that would match. After some trial and error I am happy to report that I am satisfied with my mani/pedi. The grace, kindness and great patience of these lovely ladies really just makes me so happy! Thank you!
Had a great experience. Kay and Lee were so nice.
Ava Paige Nail Salon! Was the best nail salon I ever been to! They really care about your nails !!!!! I will be back!!!
Kay, is Awesome with a capital A! Shes very sweet and very professional. Her place and work is always clean and organized. My husband and my 2 girls and I go there every August and get mani/pedis as an end of the summer treat. I followed her from Fedora Kate to Ava Paige...Kay is Awesome!!! We really literally only go there and we live like an hour away!! That is how far I would travel cuz shes just that gr8 and we always leave Kays with our hands and feet looking on Fleek πππππ. Hope 2 c u soon Kay!!!
Very welcoming to the salon and recieved a beautiful manicure.
Only place I will go......great job and best price around!
Went there for the 1st time yesterday and asked prices she told me 40$ for me mani and pedi with a 5$ discount for first time. I also was getting my daughters done for prom showed her a picture she said they can do it and will charge me 40 with a 20% disc for prom. I left went to shop and came back. They did our nail while doing others that came in after us. We got there at 4 left at 7:15. There was only one person there when we arrived but i guess the other walk ins were more important. Anyways when they were done they said 60 for me i only got a reg mani by the way.. the I upgraded to gel for her and they 70 for her. So I ended up paying 130 all together plus my 8 yrs old got her nails polished they said 5 but ended up trying to charge 12$. It was embarrassing and I will never go there again. My daughters nails looked nothing like the picture but they said she had to get gel nails to make it look like it and didnt even make it look no where near close. My nails are messed up and I just got them done last night. I WILL NEVER GO AGAIN AND WOULDNT RECCOMEND ANYONE GOING HERE THEY LIE ABOUT PRICES!!
Awesome. Very relaxing . The atmosphere clean very inviting.
Love my nails and love Kay.
