I decided to try Avanti for a gel fill in after reading the wonderful reviews about the spa. Big mistake - not only was the cost ridiculous at $52, but they had only one nail tech who could do a gel fill-in. Within 2 days, the gel was chipping off. I have had gels for about 4 years and have gone to numerous salons. Never once have I had a chipping issue. I believe it's because they only used one coat instead of two. And the chipping was on more than one nail, so it wasn't due to an accident on my part. I did go back and get the first nail repaired, only to have a second chipping off the next day. The people were nice, no problem there, but it's probably best for a basic manicure/pedicure. Go elsewhere for gel maintenance!!
Pros: nice atmosphere, friendly staff
Cons: below average knowledge of gel nails - it shouldn't be offered if they can't do it right!
