Anna was lovely! Checked in constantly to make sure I was comfortable and liked my design. This was my first experience here at Elite Nails and I will be a returning happy customer. She also cleaned up my eyebrows and Iโ€™m happy with the results. Thank you!

GelX removal plus new with cat eye by Nhi. She took such great care of my real nails during the removal process and they felt amazing and their initial integrity remained in tact. She did a thoughtful and detailed application and checked in with me to make sure I was happy throughout the process! $88 for GelX plus removal of the old set. $16 for tip.

I love this salon! Anna always does an amazing job. Every time I come here my nails last for 3+ weeks and are very secure and beautifully designed. They're affordable and great quality! 10/10

Most painful manicure of my life. I like a basic clean manicure. I honestly didnโ€™t think my nails would look worse after getting a manicure but here we are. I wanted to cry it hurt so bad. They even had the audacity to charge me full price after butchering my cuticles. The guy working on my nails was polite and apologized, however there was no effort to make it right.

Such a cozy and inviting salon! I brought my 11-year-old daughter for a pedicure, and Lisa was wonderful with her. We were seated right on time, and the service was great. Weโ€™ve been to other places, but we both agree this is our new nail spot. Appreciate the clear separation of service and tip charges too!
