My friend and I have both gone in twice, the first time my friend asked for blue and white with snowflakes for Christmas. The nail tech gave her red and green, when my friend stated she wanted blue, the nail tech told her no and continued to paint the red and green. This time it was my nail that broke only three days after getting a rebase, I was not doing anything rough with my nail, simply reached down to scratch my leg and the tip broke all the way off. I went in to get it fixed, and the nail tech would paint it and walk away to do something, paint another coat and walk away to make a phone call. Fixing one nail took almost 45 min and I left with the gel on my nail still wet While it's by far not the worst place I've been to, it is the lack of communication and professionalism that will be why we won't be back. read more

Debbie did a great job. It was my first time in. It was probably one of the fastest full sets I've ever had. Less than 45 minutes. My nails look great. My only complaint would be that the little tool for under your nails to get the crap out wasn't used. But other than that, my nails are great. P.S. don't mind the cut on my finger. It's not from getting my nails done. It was from me cooking at home. read more

Liars they make appointments and when you get there you wait for 40 minutes to get worked on and when I mentioned I had an appointment she said that "making an appointment doesn't mean that i get a designated time that's not how appointments work " umm ok lol the fact that they give everyone the same fake apology should let you know how little time they take to take care of their customers and make an effort to give everyone a great experience. This place is a little far but they do awesome work http://www.signaturenailsandspa.net/ read more

I went in yesterday to get a full set, got sat with a girl I've never seen before and she's never done my nails. She filed so incredibly deep that it exposed underneath my nail, it was excruciatingly painful. She got a little frustrated when I kept pulling away but when I told her it hurt she ignored the statement. I wanted red nails, and I wanted them matte. But right after she got done filing to make sure it was all smooth she just put the Matte coat right on top, leaving a lot of streaks in my nails. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU TRY! I travel a lot and tried this place because I desperately needed a manicure after covid. I should have know by the upset customer cussing out the owner, or the dirty condition of the place, but I was in the middle of a manicure. I got back to my regular place today and when they took the dipping powder off, my nails were yellow/green. They did not apply a base coat and when they brushed on the "dipping powder" it left air pockets for moisture to get in. I was scared and horrified at the condition of my usually long, natural and healthy nails! See the picture and avoid unless you want the same results. I almost cried! read more

Elegant Nails - "Dipping powder" applied with a brush that ruined my nails....this is only one of five that are horrific! - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Right when I walked in the door, I thought about leaving. The greeting was "what do you want?" I tell them a manicure and pedicure. I was then told to wash my hands. It's great that they are having people wash. I suppose I just expected a bit of a greeting. I didn't feel welcome at all. It was crowded, boarder line over crowded for Covid restrictions. I got gel polish for the first time. If this is a representation of gel polish, I will stay away from it next time. The polish was thick in some areas and very thin in other. Just over all every uneven. My nails were not filed evenly. It's very noticeable. I ended up going home and filing them myself. Usually, after the polish the manicurist (who never told me her name) does a bit of a hand massage with lotion. This was not done. My pedicure turned out better than my manicure thankfully. I originally wanted just regular polish on my toenails but she kept pressuring me to do shellac so I eventually just said fine so she'd stop trying to upsell me. I don't like being pressured into overpaying for something I didn't even want. The manicure and pedicure were so rushed, it was done in under an hour. The dividers that were set up to separate people kept falling down. Overall, I would not go back. It was not relaxing at all. It was subpar at best and not nearly worth the $87 (not including tip) that I was charged. read more

Spend the extra $10 to go literally anywhere else! They don't take the time to let the gel cure and you have to go back and ask them to fix them the next day because the gel peels off you acrylic (been twice and both times this happened) They rush through everyone so your nails never turn out good or last. The products are cheap so they don't last, the customer service is not great depending on who you talk to. Very disappointed! will not be back. read more

Walked in on a snow day for eyebrow waxing. Was told to go to the back room, I followed the lady. The room was disgusting, the table covered in an obviously unwashed cover with stains all over it. The place just looked gross. I then asked for a specific shape and was told yes only to be completely ignored and given a totally different shape than requested. Unprofessional, unclean, and overall a 1 star experience. read more

I'm not sure why this place only has 2.5 stars! I've been coming here for three years and they're the best I've seen in Denver! I drive 40 min each way just to come here! There prices are low and they are extremely talented. I personally go to April or Wee but be sure to call ahead they are ALWAYS busy. read more

Disappointed. This place has recently gone through a management change. Some of the furniture and fixtures have been upgraded. But, the prices have gone up and the service quality has suffered. I have been here twice since the management change. The first time, I made an appointment and they still didn't get to me until 30min after my appointment time. The shaping and painting of my nails isn't at the quality level I have come to expect from this place. I had to put additional top coat on my nails when I got home so that they were adequately covered. And, there is definitely an "assembly line" feel to the place now, where they power through your service to get you out the door. It may just be an adjustment period, but I have been disappointed enough to start shopping for a new favorite nail salon. read more

this was the worst nail experience of my life. i came out with acrylic all over my fingers and on the back of the nail, the shaping is also horrendous. i tried talking to the lady doing my nails over and over but it was like i was invisible. they do not do any nail prep and ripped off my old acrylic set from my nail leaving me almost in tears. I have never in my life had so much pain or such a terrible time at a nail salon. read more

Truly not sure why I keep trying to go here. The staff is incredibly rude, their "appointments" are not organized and they couldn't keep their word on one to save their lives. Quality overall has gone down since I started going there, honestly the only good nail tech is the older man. The rest are rushed, sloppy, and overall unprofessional. Time for them to get things back under control before they lose even more customers! read more

Don't go. This is serious. Dirty, chaotic place. My first visit (on impulse) was for a regular pedicure on Fri Jan 31, 2020. I just took the last of antibiotics prescribed for a bad skin infection on Feb 12. The tech cut the cuticle on my big toe too close and made appropriate apologies, and I forgave her. BUT - the infection that flared up 12-24 hours later was frightening. My toe was 2X normal size & flaming red. On Mon Feb 3, I consulted the doctor & started 900 mg per day Clindamycin & improved within 4 days. Checking Yelp 1st would have saved me a lot of grief. I am considering reporting to State licensing board to save others. read more

This nail shop is not the cleanest nor the best run place I have been to. After moving here I struggled to find a place and finally gave this a try. I had my nails done by Suzanne who was great. I'm giving this place 1 star because they stopped taking appointments and it is now first come first serve. It's difficult to wait around as the average wait is about 35-45 minutes and I can no longer get an appointment with the nail tech I have been going to for 2 years. Way to lose your customers guys! Some people actually have a life and waiting around 35-45 min. to be taken by any nail tech is not a good option. I found a new nail place in Wheatridge that takes appointments and will be going there today. The reviews are really good so wish me luck. read more

I don't know why I keep going back to this nail salon it is one of the worst. I asked for Coffin nails and I got square on all my fingers except my pinkies. And the edges of my nails are so sharp that I keep scratching myself with them. And every time I go and they always make me bleed. They are too rough with the electric sander. when I go to get my nails done I want them to look pretty. I don't want my hand around them to be all bloody and scarred and look horrible. When I pay 40 bucks to get acrylics done I want to be satisfied with my whole experience. read more

Disappointed I got a pedicure they used the drill to take off the polish and thats it. It was blue. I choose a light pink as my new color but I can still see blue underneath. She did not clean under my toenails either. I then made a mistake and had my eyebrows cleaned up. The woman was eating candy while doing them. Eww. But when I was handed a mirror to see the mirror was disgusting so I looked in the large one..... same thing filthy when I told her I can't see what kind of job you did because your mirror is gross she chuckled a bit and said i will fix if it's not good. Well i can not see what you did so I'm good I guess. I will not be back I do NOT RECOMMEND this place!!! read more

This place is ridiculous!! Told me I must wait outside for an appointment even though it was raining. They don't take appointments only walk in, and when I arrived, by myself, they have whole families sitting in there waiting on others to get served. If you kick out paying customers and treat them that way, then why are others NOT getting services done allowed to sit in there? Very poor customer service!!! read more

Got a leg wax in a 3' x 4' extremely dirty room - she did a decent job, but it was just disgusting - they had dollar tree placemats on the wall to protect the wall from dirty feet because no room to move w/o putting your feet on the wall. Yuck. Never going back. read more

They do a great job and for a great price. Even on a busy day they can get you taken care of in a reasonable time. Staff is friendly and never pushy about getting more done if you're not interested. read more

My Aunt, daughter and I visited today for pedicures and had an amazing experience. They have completely remodeled and it looks amazing! They have a beautiful waterfall video and soft relaxing music and beautiful pictures on the walls. The chairs are sooo comfortable and they massage. They offer beverages and took such good care of us. They do push the deluxe package but didn't bother me as it was amazing and well worth the money which wasn't much btw. I highly recommend. read more

This place is always very busy and you will wait regardless if you have an appointment or not. Make sure you pre book with a technician that you know is good, otherwise you're not going to get good service or be happy with your nails. There is only one person who has done my nails exactly as I asked and she's so busy I have to wait 15-45 minutes, even if I have an appointment with her. I finally had to find a new nail place because the only person who is good there is overbooked and overworked and it's ridiculous to make an appointment and have to wait anyway. I question the cleanliness of this place as well. read more

If I could give This place a zero star rating I would. I went in there about a week ago and asked for a specific design which will be the first picture that I include. I came out with these. There is paint all over my nails my cuticle was all covered in powder and cut up, and one of my fingers was very cut up. I went in there with $40 telling the lady that that's all I could afford and she still tried to charge me $50.. Even though I told her I only had $40 so I asked her what was in the price range of $35 because I still wanted to tip her. She then proceeded to charge me $5 for designs even though on their sign it says free designs. I called right after I left because they were closed by the time I left. And they told me to come back The next day, I called ahead the next day because I've had a couple problems with them before and they told me that they probably didn't have time to do anything but they would look at them, so I went in and had them look at them because my nails were hurting really bad and I did notice while the lady was doing my nails she did not file down the old powder that I had on my nails. My nails were super thick the designs were super thick and I had paint all over my fingers. when I was in the salon they told me that they would have to charge me $35 to get them fixed. Even though the day before they already charged me $40. my main concern was me possibly getting an infection, it was way past the designs at that point because my nails, my fingers, and even my hands were hurting. they proceeded to tell me that it was my fault because my nails were "too long" even though I've had long nails for about three years now. And I've never once had pain with the length. And I don't quite understand how the pain would come from that when I had cuts all over my cuticles and powder all over them. When the One of the ladies was looking at my nails she told me that there was no cuts, I proceeded to show her them on one finger and she told me that it's only on one. Whether or not it's on one or 10 I can still get an infection from one cut. I then asked them for a refund because I wasn't going to pay another $35 and they told me that there was no refunds. I then asked them if they could just take them off and they refused me service unless they charged me. Then the lady that works upfront proceeded to push me out the door and I told them that I will be contacting Dora a.k.a. the health board department. And because I know elegant management is reading this they have been contacted! and I'm sure you will be hearing from them very soon:) also if a months back I did write another review, but the funny thing is was that it was deleted by the next day. I find that so funny because in that review I included that one time I was getting my nails done and there was a new girl that worked there, she proceeded to tell me that everyone there thinks I'm a bitch and calls me names. not very professional if you ask me. Keep in mind I was 17 at the time. Sounds like harassment on a minor too me. So elegant management, you can take down this review but nothing is stopping the health board shutting you down. :) Also I was at station 16, but the whole staff Is rude, and apparently thinks I'm a "bitch" but I wouldn't have to be a bitch if they could just do their work right and not refuse people service especially when they're at risk for an infection, from their own work! horrible place, would not recommend even to my worst enemy.. read more

This place is D-I-R-T-Y! Unsanitary type dirty. Yikes. Looks like a bunch of chicken were let out in here and pooped all over the place. Waited for about 30 minutes. Waste of time and money. I will never go back just to save $6 on a mani/pedi. read more

Place was dirty and unorganized. I went in for a shellac French manicure and a regular pedi. First off, she didn't take the color that was already on my nails off before she started the French mani. So I pointed it out and she kept going. Then I said I didn't want that other color showing like it did so then she "redid" my nails. She did a poor job and they look clumpy. The girl doing my pedi was super abrasive and rude. The polish she was using was old and was not drying right. When I shower her what was happening. She blamed me and asked what I did. Wtf! She redid it and again it was awful. I saw people coming in who had appointments having to wait long times. Not to mention you get charged more if you pay with credit card. I will never be coming back. read more

I recommend this nail salon to everyone I meet, and typically their services are incredible. My nails always look perfect for a fantastic price. Today, I called to make an appointment because two of my nails came off. The woman on the phone told me it was no problem, to come in and they would fix it free of charge. Upon my arrival, after letting them know i needed a fix, they told me to sit down and wait. After almost an hour, I was told it was my turn and took a seat at a table. Another 20 minutes passed and one of the technicians began to fix my nails, then had me move to a different table to have another technician finish her work. 10 minutes later, another tech files my nails, without saying a word and not even taking a seat, making it feel like I was an inconvenience. After cutting my finger and making the shape completely different, she leaves, without polishing or saying anything. Another 15 minutes pass and a third tech applies polish and walks away. Finally, 3 techs later, a 4th tech finishes my two broken nails, both now with completely different shapes than the rest of my nails. I then mentioned the different shapes and wait time and was told better luck next time. I usually love this place and their work, so I am just disappointed with their services when all i needed was a simple quick fix. read more

WORST nail salon. I wish I could give them no stars. I went in during my lunch break to treat myself to New Year's Eve nails. All I wanted was a simple black coffin style full set. I should have known this place was a ripoff when the girl next to me was quoted $25 and I was quoted $35. Regardless, I gave them a shot. When my nails were done, I was so far from happy. My natural nail was showing under the acrylic and the paint was not properly applied. I had to get back to work though. I called the next day to have them fixed. They said they could get me in. When I showed up, they were telling me my nails looked fine! Omg. I wish I took a picture. They were AWFUL. They then told me they could only fix one of my nails. At this point, they were spending more time telling me my nails were fine rather than just fixing them. Finally, I just told them to take them off and I would like a refund. I mean, I only had my nails done for 24 hours. They told me they couldn't offer me a refund. I didn't care at this point. I would rather have my natural nails than the s**t they put on me. Once they started taking them off, an employee started video taping me while laughing. I couldn't believe it. I just wanted to get out of there immediately. Anyways. I will never go back and will never refer anybody to them! Beware: they will rip you off! read more

I got acrylics here and sadly it's two stars. It was super busy and even with an appt. had to wait 30 min. I would suggest going on a weekday and not counting on a reservation. My nail technician was April and she seemed to be in a hurry. Shes quiet and sweet but sadly my nails did not turn out well. The acrylic is lumpy and it's not fully on my nail. I will give it another try later on because the prices are so good. But with a different nail tech and also during the week. read more

Best nail salon in the area! Trust me, I've tried them all. They always do a great job and use the best products. My favorite thing about Elegant Nails is they offer free basics designs (French tip, polka dots, stripes, etc.). It's a very small additional fee if you want a more complex design. Some advice though, come in with a design already in mind. They don't have any examples of designs in their shop even though they are constantly doing them. I do have one complaint, and it's because of this complaint I've tried every other salon in the area hoping to find a better one. They are terrible at honoring appointment times. When you call for an appointment, they will always say your requested day/time is available even if there are already lots of other appointments scheduled in the same slot. They obviously don't want to lose business by suggesting a different time. When you show up for the appointment, be prepared to wait 15-60 minutes. It can be incredibly frustrating. They are very busy (which shows how good and popular they are) so the wait can be quite extensive. I wish they'd figure out a better system for appointments. Regardless, I'll keep going despite this issue because this is the best nail salon on the northwest side of Denver. read more

Lol I came in for a rebase and had white tips on and had one broken nail and she replaced it with a clear Tip and refused to change it read more

I started going to Elegant Nails because it's close to my house and the prices are a little less costly with free nail design. I've gotten my nails done probably 6 or seven times and I kid you not, I've never gone the entire time between rebases without a couple of nails chipping on me. Keep in mind that I work in an office - not somewhere where I'm rough with my hands. I continued to go out of convenience and thinking they'll get it right one of these days. This last time my nails chipped after TWO DAYS. I went in to get them fixed and was told to come back in 30 min. I came back and waited another 10. FYI - there's usually at least a 15 min wait because it's small in there without a lot of nail techs. A few days later the same nails chipped again and progressively got worse!!! Below are pictures after about 2 weeks. Just don't go to this place! It's worth it to pay more money and drive further. read more

Went last week for a full set i asked for red with black hearts. I sat in the back by the sinks for about 15 minutes because they told me to wash my hands and go to station 7 i get done washing my hands and they had already sat someone else in my seat. Was walked past and ignored for 15 minutes while they were sitting people who had just walked in. The gentleman who did my nails was in a rush to get me out of his seat didnt trim my natural nails or even file them at all. And now within a week they are starting to peel off. This isn't the first bad experience I've had and will more then likely find a new place to go cause yall usually don't ever make it right. I use to love this place but its gone down hill and im very disappointed with my nails again read more

I really like this place it is great atmosphere great people but some people need to learn when not to do nails if they cannot see what they are doing that's just my opinion I love this place they do really good job for the most part I would recommend this place especially if you like to feel good about yourself and it's pretty when they add designs and take their time and do it right. read more

This was my second attempt at this salon and I will NEVER go back. Worst gel manicure I have ever received. When I asked for them to take the polish off and give me a refund, they refused. Do yourself a favor and pick anywhere else but this place! read more

I just moved down the street from here and needed a new place to go so I decided to try this place out. They were super busy when I first got there which surprisingly I was happy about because it meant they had a well known name. So at first I was worried with the designs and art I wanted I was going to end up paying a crazy price like other places but they are very decently priced and did an AMAZING job! I will def be making this my place to go for all my nail needs and I will be telling all my family and friends about it as well! Can't wait to go back and get a pedicure next time since I didn't have time to do it today. read more

Worst pedicure ever! No attention to detail! Technician rushed thru service. I'm very upset to have been charged! I'm disappointed in all the positive reviews and recommendation that lead me here. I will never go back!!! read more

I'm so irritated. I was in the area so i thought I'd stop in to get my nails done. Online it said they opened at 9:30am so i got there early and waited in my car for 20 minutes. I walked in at 9:31 and there were already about 5 ladies getting manicures and pedicures. So clearly the opening time wasn't right online. I guess i should have double checked but i didn't think i needed to since their open sign wasn't turned on either. Then i went inside and told them i wanted a shellac manicure. They told me to wash my hands and sit at table #9. I sat there at table #9 for 30 MINUTES! Without anyone saying another word to me! Are you kidding. I used to come here to get my nails done all the time and i started to have some bad experiences so i stopped going. I thought I'd give them another chance. But i will never go back. There are too many good salons with good customer service in Denver. read more

I think this place is great. They were able to fix my daughter's nail and paint them even though we got there at almost closing time. They have been close for 45 min and she is finishing my daughter's nail. Tomorrow is picture day otherwise we would have waited. read more

So I've been searching of a nail salon close by home and I finally found the one! I came in around 5, no appointment needed -- of course I did have to wait but they seated me within five minutes and started to work on my nails. My nails are perfectly thin, the paint isn't thick and the gem stones are placed so beautifully! I didn't get the young gentleman's name but he was friendly and I liked how he went straight to work(: I was in and out of there within an hour! Awesome place! read more
