This is an excellent nail salon! The women who work here are so sweet. Be prepared to spend a good chunk of time here, because the ladies love to chat! E'lan Nail Bar is tucked away on University Ave near Trader Joe's. They offer waxing and nail services. I've been to E'lan twice now. The first time I went, I got a dip manicure. The second time, I got a dip manicure and a regular pedicure. The prices are very comparable to every other salon I've been to. They do a great job. I have been very happy with the shape and the quality. E'lan is extremely clean and tidy. They have a small sitting area in the front that you can wait in, several pedicure and manicure stations, and a waxing room in the back. There is plenty of street parking outside the salon, and the bus gets you there pretty quickly, too. I recommend this nail salon!

This is my second time to e'lan. This is a sweet, family run business. Last time I got a pedicure, this time I came in for a gel X removal and gel manicure Christine did such an amazing job with my nails. I've never been so stoked on how my natural nails look! I'm hooked. Great prices, talented nail tech- she helped me pick colors that would look best and fit my vibe. Obsessed

Best place I've been to!! The technicians are the sweetest and their artistry and expertise are unmatched, reasonable price and great experience overall thank you

Hannah and her sister are great, super friendly professional and they do amazing work. I asked for tulip design and it turned out beautiful even she had never done tulips before . I am so pleased with their work I'm a customer for life.

I got the first pedicure that I've had in probably 10 years, and I got the gel nail tips for the first time. Customer service was great. Really loved my nail tech. Only problem is by day 9, they started popping off. Im halfway through my trip and missing 2 nails.

Jenny and Hannah are amazing!!! Very talented and always so kind!!!!! I always enjoy their service and support them all the way!!!!!

Ok, this is way over due. And this photo was taken 2 weeks after my nails were done. I had called several places near me to try out a new salon since mine closed. This was the only one that had good reviews and seemed friendly. I have officially found a new salon near me. The ladies are extremely nice and accommodating. I showed her a picture and then she convinced me to do a little more to make it cohesive. The ambiance was wonderful they had music playing and the ladies seemed really interested in just getting to know you. I told her I needed something not too extreme because I was having my engagement party. But I can't want to go back and try something else. Also, I can't wait for them to give me a pedicure so I can try their massage chairs. (Ps meters outside for like 25 cents is worth 30 min I think)

E'lan is THE BEST NAIL SHOP IN THE BAY!!!
Sandra J.

Best nail place in the Bay! I've looked for years and finally found it! That's are kind and do QUALITY work! Call to make an appointment because. They're just two sisters holding it down! Sometimes their awesome daughters help out but they are busy at college. It's a family affair and they are amazing!

Gel Manicure

Very kind and organized people. Attention to detail when doing their services. Lovely space. Appointment only but they take walk ins too! I got a pedi and mani.

I think i found my new fav nail spot. First time getting gel extensions and i love them so far. The design and the service is amazing. My pedi was done with care and gentle hands.

See all

I was quickly taken by an older woman and she helped me decide a color and package I wanted for a pedicure. She was extremely helpful, kind, sweet, and gentle when it came to my service.

The…read morewas the one thing my that attracted me to this place and the fact that is was a " clean" saloon not using any yucky chemicals. Yet I believe the prices are absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. My mani and pedi got a regular one was $140 all together because I chose to have 2 nails painted at a 1 level decoration that was $15. Which was beyond overpriced. I lib had seen the nail example of a level 1 decoration I would have never gotten it. The level 1 decoration for 2 nails was just a touch of glitter on top. That was ridiculous. I would have never paid $15 for a level design 1 that I could have done so easily by myself, it's super problematic that they charged that much. Also the woman at the desk was a Kurt and not super friendly. The computer was having problems charging my card, so she had to manually put it in. And that was fine but she had asked me if I wanted to leave gratuity after I told her no, since I had never been to the place before, I wanted to know if it was worth a tip. She then asked me again to tip after I told her no. No one is entitled to a tip unless they've earned it. I had a problem with her but my manicurist and pedicurist people were very nice. My manicurist Nguyen does a really great massage. Highly recommend her. They were polite and wanted to do a good job. I liked them. I do wish around my nails was more cleaned up, but maybe it's just my super dry skin. I do like that they offer drinks, like peach Prosecco. That was great and helped me forget the ridiculous overpricing. I understand they give benefits to their staff but like $15 for a level 1 decoration for only 2 nails is laughable. For a stroke of glitter on top???? Or we serious right now??? I'd never come here again unless I have a boyfriend or partner who is willing to pay for it for me. I like the woman at the front desk there is annoying. I'd go somewhere else more affordable. Also important note is that they had NO DRYER for your nails. She had to bring over a mini fan that was useless. It already made a chip and bubble in my nails. Not worth it... come here if you have someone else pay for it, and to support the women working there who do your nails but I wouldn't come here to pay for it myself.

I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for almost three years, and I still feel lucky…read morethat I found Trinh on my very first try after moving to the area. Her work is consistently amazing. I love fun, creative nails and usually come in with inspiration photos. Every single time, Trinh delivers!! My nails always turn out better than I imagined. Sanitation is a big deal to me. I had a hard time finding a salon in my last neighborhood that followed proper sanitary procedures, and this place was such a relief. They clearly take sanitation seriously, and I always feel comfortable coming here. I have also had great pedicure experiences, and the barber and hair side of the salon is impressive to watch. Fast, precise, and everyone leaves looking great. Writing this review feels risky because I want to keep my appointments, but this salon deserves the love!! If you want beautiful nails and a place that does things right, this is it!!!

I called Style Nails on the day of for a last minute appointment, and they were able to get me in…read moreat 5pm. That said, expect to be "squeezed in," cause I had to wait about 30-40 mins after arriving to actually be seen. But, still appreciated them taking me. I came in for a gel manicure on my natural nails, but 1 finger was chipped. I asked if they could do a single extension, they recommended to use builder gel instead. At first, it looked fine, but after it cured, it was noticeably thick and not shaped very well. As a result this one fell off after a week. I also tried to point out that the shaping on my nails looked inconsistent from one finger to the next. The technician told me it was just because my finger widths are different & it's impossible to make them look the same. I understand that natural nails are harder to make uniform (compared to extensions), but I was disappointed with the lack of effort. The gel manicure itself was okay. I got a pink color with chrome powder, it lasted about two weeks. Overall, for around $50, I feel like you get what you pay for. It wasn't a terrible experience, but the attention to detail, especially with the shaping and the builder gel, was lacking. The service was friendly though, and you get a stamp card for every visit.

I don't really use the massage chair at pedicures. The homemade scrubs they do are what really brings it home. Most places don't really do that anymore, so it's one of the highlights, and reminds of Jaydn Taylor in Alameda back in the days. They are also detailed in what they do and the vibes are really relaxing.

Both times, my friends didn't have issues looking for parking, so this is a plus. The first time we came, we had lunch around the area and asked if they can accommodate us. We stuck gold, when they said they have time for us after our brunch. I came back again this weekend, but we scheduled an appointment with them this time. Both times, the technician was ready for us and were very welcoming. The place is pretty clean and and relaxing, as I found it surprising that you aren't overpowered by the smell of nail polish. Huge bonus for that! My friends and I did all get a manicure and pedicure. Joy ended up being my technician and gave me some suggestions on what color nails I should do, since I wanted to match my outfit (if you know me you know me). Joy is actually a great tech, she's very patient and didn't rush the process. Joy sparked joy for me when she recommended the scrub. It wasn't just any scrub, it was a coffee scrub. I love the smell of coffee and this literally made my weekend. My feet felt so amazing afterwards and my nails looked so cute! My friends and I will definitely be back here the next time we in the area. And a special shoutout to Joy again for making my weekend perfect!
