This place never disappoints. Been a customer since 2023. My nails and toes get done once a month and last! Never chip or break! The service is awesome and they try to accommodate to the best of their ability

Just moved here a week ago and did a lot of research which landed me at Elite Nails. Mary did not have any reviews but she SLAYED IT!!! I showed her an inspo picture and she delivered beautifully. I will definitely keep coming back. The place was busy so that tells me they are highly favored, and now I know why!

I went for a manicure and a pedicure and left very dissatisfied and $65 poorer. I sat in the pedicure chair with water that started out too hot. I sat there waiting long enough for the water to become quite cold. Once the pedicure started it was just alright. The manicure took place in the same reclining chair. The tech rushed, barely clipping then sanding my nails with unsanitary tools. I didnโ€™t realize they were not sanitized after she was pretty much done. After a spray of water she was rubbing lotion on my hands. I sat confused after she walked away. Another employee came to see why I looked confused and still sitting in the chair. The woman came back and clipped my nails and cuticles once more. Then She half glazed my fingernails.
