Best Nail Salons In Asheville

“I’ve been going to American Nails AVL to have my manicures and pedicures done every couple of weeks for about 2 months now. After trying several other salons in the area, I was having trouble finding one that was a good fit for me. Most of the ones I’ve tried in the past ended up being messy/unclean, the staff were either rude or not personable and often times it was hard to carry on a casual conversation with the nail techs due to a language barrier.

A good friend of mine recommended that I give American Nails AVL a try. She spoke highly of Thang and the other staff. I have to say that I am so glad I gave them a try! I love this salon so much! The staff are always very friendly and they greet each customer who walks in with love. They make you feel like you are family. The salon is very clean and organized. They offer a wide variety of services and the quality of the products they use is great. Their prices are very fair and comparable to other salons I’ve been to in the area. It’s also very easy to communicate with the staff, as the language barrier isn’t present like it is in most of the other salons I’ve been to.

This is definitely my favorite nail salon! I’ve had work done by Thang, Javi, Kelcie and Chevelle and so far, I’ve been very pleased with everything they have done! I always have them do gel polish on my natural nails. It lasts a full 2 weeks despite the fact that I play guitar a few times per week and I’m also fairly active outdoors. I’ve attached pictures of my most recent manicure. I highly recommend that you give this salon a try!

Requested style: When I’ve shown them a picture of what I wanted, they have been able to replicate it very closely.

Cleanliness: The salon is always very clean and organized.“

“I’ve been going to Lacey since December and can’t believe how strong and healthy my natural nail has become. After going to “chop shops” for most of my life I’ve learned Lacey takes her time to make the nails healthy. Her personality and professionalism is top notch! I’m putting in pictures of my first appoint compared to my latest

Requested style: If you come in with a picture, Lacey is good at replicating. I also trust her to do whatever she wants that day

Cleanliness: Everything is cleaned after each client.“

“My stylist name was Emily, she was absolutely fabulous, she was able to create the style I wanted for a wedding that I have! She has a bubbly personality and is interested in her clients! Thank you so much Emily, hope I can come back again and get my hair done by you soon!

Requested style: I wanted curls with a braid!

Hair type: My hair is long, dry scalp“

“Always a great experience! They always surprise me with how great they are! Each time I present them with a challenge and they surpass it every time!!!

Requested style: Floral, vines.

Specialties: Great artists!

Cleanliness: Always clean and lovely!“

“Great spot! They fit me in on a busy Sunday, and Ayden did a great job with my
Pedicure. He was very detailed and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend!“

“My mom and I visited Avalon Nails for my birthday and had by far the best experience of any nail salon we have visited. I got a gel Classic pedicure and an acrylic full set, and they spent 2 hours between the two ensuring that I had the best experience. My nails also look incredible! They made me feel very special on my birthday, and made the experience extremely enjoyable. I cannot recommend this salon enough for both the kind people and quality of service! I will definitely be returning.“

“I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, my mom for almost 20. My aunt even drives 4 hours from SC for Vicki to do her nails! This is the place to be- you will not be disappointed!

Vicki is the only person I let down near my brows! I always get a clean, natural shape!“

“This place is my number one spot. They are so kind and I don’t trust anyone else with waxing my eyebrows. I’ve been going to them for about a year now for manicure and waxing and am never disappointed.“

“It hasn’t even been 24 hours and 2 people have asked me if my nails were press-ons. (That’s how cute and detailed they look!!). Super detail oriented and creative ??Really fun vibes !! Thanks, Amanda!!“I have been to far, far worse salons” ???“

“Fantastic experience at Avante!! Great service, clean, and comfortable. Enjoyed my pedicure by Diana, professional and friendly. My manicure by Jenny was oh so good! She took her time "fixing" my subpar manicure from another salon in another state. My nails look fabulous and I was just in and out quickly. Highly recommend!!“

“My stylist was lily and she is completely amazing! Listened to what I was wanting and ended up giving me a fresh new look. Her personality is the best. Highly recommend this place.“

“A great place to go! Emma does the best nail art ever, she pays so much attention to the details of her work and it's absolutely beautiful every time!“

“Awesome place with nice things and great staff that answer all the questions you may have ! By far the best place I have been to between Brevard and Asheville“

“This is my top pick in Asheville for nails! Friendly, accommodating, and they do an excellent job in a relaxing atmosphere!“

“I love every set she does on me! That’s why I always get my nails done by her. She’s very skilled and will always try her best to match your nail inspo. Please go check out her page!! :)“

“Love Mes Ami! I have been going to Brooklyn since I was in high school. She always does an amazing job. All the ladies in the salon are so sweet! Highly recommend.

Stylist: Brooklyn!!“

“I feel so fortunate to have Ryan as my stylist. He’s so talented, meticulous, and a great person to be around! I love getting my nails done by Kristen at the salon as well. She’s amazingly skillful and a joy to be around. Both of these wonderful professionals make my day when I spend time with them. And, this isn’t a crazy expensive salon. Great results every time and I love them both!“

“This is the best nail salon experience I have had yet in Asheville. The owner Peter is very polite and invested in his guests' comfort. I have had my nails done by multiple artists here, but artist Peter (not to be confused with owner Peter) and artist Maria have been my favorites. Peter is very skilled at biogel nails and gave me the most natural looking set of nails I could ask for. Maria does beautiful work but also is very warm and engaging. She places quality over quantity. I never feel rushed here, like I'm just another dollar. They are attentive and kind. I will continue to request Maria when I go to this nail salon, because I have developed a relationship with her. However, I think all of the artists here do a great job. I've also always been able to get an appointment, which is really convenient!“

“Always a great experience at Majestic nails. I have been going for many years for acrylic fill in and gel polish on my toes. Lisa is so detailed and makes sure I’m happy before I leave.“

“I had a very hard time finding a great hairstylist in Asheville ... until I met Amy! I have curly hair and Amy shapes it to frame my face in a sophisticated yet natural way. I also sent a friend with curly hair to Amy and she very positively transformed that friend's look as well! The salon itself is pleasing and low-key, and it has some parking spots right across Charlotte Street.Services: Haircut“

“Amanda is a wonderful stylist, and Candace is the best mani/pedi technician ever!! Candace has worked with me for years, and Amanda just gave me the best cut and style I have had in a very long time.“

“I can't say enough good things about our experience! The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They worked efficiently and created stunning designs. We will definitely be returning for more nail services!“

“I had a toe nail "emergency" this morning and Richelle was a dream come true!!! I was in a lot of pain, but she fixed me up fast. Thank you!!!!“

“My friend and I were in town for a girls weekend and after going to another salon for blowouts, I left looking like I stuck my finger in a socket. It was horrible. Cue Danielle to the rescue. She stayed late to help myself and my friend out and we left with perfect hair. She was amazing and had us laughing the whole time. Jen also hung out with us and was incredible. If I was a local, I would definitely go back to them. They felt like friends and really helped us in a pinch. Highly recommend.“

“Regina is simply the BEST!! Not only does she do a phenomenal job, but she also makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave! Beautiful shop and beautiful people!!“
