I love this place, I have been going here for years. The ladies are all so friendly and the attention to detail is always stellar. They care about doing a good job and will never make you feel silly for being particular about shape, length, anything. I won't go anywhere else in the area, I feel like I've tried them all and Elite Nails has literally never disappointed. Check out how well my gel and chrome held up after a full shift of serving!

I love Elite Nails! They are the best in Iowa City. The salon is clean, the service is impeccable, and my nails last a long time. I always enjoy chatting and am impressed that they remember my name. They are great about checking in about nail length, shape, and color throughout your appointment, so you won't walk out disappointed. Be sure to call for an appointment, because they can get busy, but it never takes longer than an hour, which works great with my schedule. They're my go-to!

Best nails, best price, and great conversation! I love this family nail salon and I have been getting my nails done here for 18 years. Stop in this shop for some holiday sparkle on your nails!

I love Elite Nails! Iโ€™ve never had a place where I walk out with what I actually came for/what I wanted. Van and staff are great. They learn your name and chat with youโ€ฆa very personal experience. They really take time to hear what you want.. length/style/design, etc. I highly suggest making an appointment because they can be busyโ€ฆ the good word is out ;). This will continue to be my go to place! Some of my favorites below!

The staff was so polite and friendly! They would ask for my input on the length and design throughout the process, and the end result was perfect!! I was done in about an hour, and the full acrylic set only cost me $63. Definitely coming back in the future!
