Not the best they could have done, and a bit overpriced. They gave me a sheet with their pedicure prices on it, and the first, most basic option was $28.... unless you get gel color, then it's $45... That must be some really expensive gel polish. The girl put tin foil and cotton with acetone on my fingers, and left them the entire time she did my pedicure, so I was subjected to watching crappy Hallmark channel TV shows that made me want to vomit. I couldn't check my phone, or text anyone, or read emails, etc. Then after my pedicure she called me over to the booth to do my fingernails, and she didn't even give me the temporary sandals to walk over. Considering I had tinfoil on my fingers, I couldn't put my socks or shoes on... So my feet were freezing the entire time she did my nails. I probably won't be back again unfortunately.

Very friendly and accommodating, had gel nail manicure lasted longer, and technician did them to my preference and took the time to make sure I was satisfied.

I had to find a nail place very quickly before I had to be at my rehearsal for my wedding. This was the closest place to my parents' house and got the best reviews...so I went. They were very friendly when I asked about gel colors. I was obviously a little stressed, since I was crunched for time, so I asked how long it would be since I was in a rush and they said 5 minutes. In that time they brought me over to the station and I was given a polish change (no manicure nor pedicure due to my recent spray tan). After the base coat my nails sat under the UV light for a long time before the polish was put on. At one point they had two people (one doing my fingers and another doing my toes) to help expedite the process, but there was a lot of sitting under the UV light still. Underneath my one toenail I had a fresh cut and it stung when they put on the cuticle cream. For a gel polish on toes and hands with no manicure or pedicure it was $55, which to me seemed pretty steep of a price.

I've been going to Elite Nails for the past four years and I have never been to a more welcoming nail salon. I regularly get pedicures and my eyebrows waxed. They may be a touch more pricey but you are really supporting a local business full of sweet ladies and a guy. I've never left feeling like they did a mediocre job. They ask me about my life while making my gross feet look and feel beautiful. Whenever I walk out the door, I feel pampered and well cared for - how many nail salons make you feel that way? Gratuity is cash only and I try to always tip as much as I can.

Elite Nails is a small salon on Main Street by Transit Road. I read about it on Yelp and was nearby and decided to try it out. Because the nail salon was tucked away, it wasn't super busy and it was easy to get a manicure on the spot. The service was fast and efficient, but I did notice that they charged me more for my manicure than the posted price, which was disappointing. Make sure you bring cash as they will charge you for using a debit card if your purchase is under $10. Needless to say, I wouldn't make an effort to go back but if stuck with some time to kill in that vicinity, I would possibly stop in again.

I found this place by chance while desperately looking for a nearby salon to take off my grown-out gel polish. My technician was quick and clean, and she was gentle! No angry buffing or cavalier attitude towards my cuticles. They have a wide selection of gel colors, and their prices are comparable to every other salon I've ever used. I had an appointment very soon after I walked in, and when I expressed this, my technician was able to get me in and out in a crazy short amount of time (including the old gel removal), and my nails looked great! I will definitely go back!

Prices are more expensive than what I've found at other nail salons in the area. However, they are extremely fast and efficient. I made a 6:30 pm appointment on a Friday evening, and was in and out by 7 pm. Normally the service I received takes close to an hour at other salons, however I don't feel like she skimped or left out any important steps while cutting the time nearly in half. They are open until 8 pm on Fridays, so I also don't think it was a rush to get be out and close for the night. Added plus that this salon is directly next door to my fitness studio I frequent 4-5 times weekly. I will be back, although the cost might make me think twice.5 - time & efficiency5 - convenient location (for me)4 - hours (open later than most salons)3 - priceFYI - They only accept gratuity in CASH
