    Tina B.

    I am updating my review because of my last two experiences. Since Annie left, I've used two different nail technicians. Both times have been inadequate and below par. Thursday's visit will be mine & my friend's last time frequenting this business. I asked for a nail trim & color (no soak) and a mani (buff & shin). On the nail trim, she cut both of my big toes so short that they are red, sore and when cleaning it, slightly bloody. The moment my friend and I out our shoes on - it was painful. Now, two days later - it is even more so. I'm hoping that it heals or by Monday will be scheduling a doctor appointment. My friend didn't have any better luck with her full pedi - and it was a different nail technician! I normally don't mind a language barrier but the woman working on me when I asked if the tools were clean (they had already been sitting in the basket & normally Annie would take them out of a new bag), she just said "Yes." I tried to make small talk, even commenting her necklace was pretty - no response. She lacked absolutely no customer service. No smile, no nothing. She used a nail file and buffer that I am pretty sure had been used before. Confirmed it when I watched her put the buffer back in the main bag in their closet after my pedi (I was still waiting for my friend). She finally said the most words that I heard from her all night while my toes were drying under the heaters, "Will you pay me now, I'm off." Well, of course I will but unlike any other nail technician I have ever had, you didn't help bring any of my belongings over after you had me get up out of the massage chair immediately when you finished polishing my nails (instead of at least waiting a minute for them to dry). So I gave her my money and now have sore and hopefully not infected toes. On the bright side, at least I know why she was rushed - she wanted to get off work. Well, if so, please don't take on another customer because now your salon has lost 2 because of it. Pretty much there appears to have been turnover here and customer service is severely lacking. I no long recommend this salon and urge you to go elsewhere.

    End of day 1. This doesn't look right.

    What the actual eff. I had my nails done in shellac. They charged me extra $10 because I chose a metallic color. Which is fine. It just wasn't in any sign or online. I'm not fond of fees that aren't listed anywhere. Kim was the one who helped me. She was very good and kept checking her work. I definitely appreciate the effort. My friend, on the other hand, came in for a fill, she had a different nail person. I looked online and saw that fills cost $25. So I said, "fills are $25, right?" She looks at me incredulously, looks at my friend, goes "no, no, no, she's having shellac, it's at least $40!". It cost my friend $35 to get full sets, and to fill is $40? Girl, in what country?? Dubai?? Okay, so anyway, I didn't say anything about it, but I asked my friend later what had happened after I left, apparently the woman tried to tell her that she needs a full set, even though I was there almost the whole time that nail person was reshaping her nails and mentioned nothing about needing a full set. It was because she got the drill on the wrong position and had lifted two of the nails herself! Not my friends fault. They also don't have it anywhere on their website and in their location, about upgrade pricings. Someone else commented about how she got a regular manicure and got charge $15 extra, because the sign "isn't updated". They are lucky she paid, I would have asked for the owner and or manager. Not being upfront about pricing is a big No. The place is clean, and I'm okay with my manicure with Kim. I told her upfront that my gels tends to fade faster at the tips so we'll see how long this shellac nails last. I will upgrade if this work lasts at least a week. Update: from 2 stars to 1 star, 5 days in, and waste of money. I seriously could have done this myself. They charge you more for shellac because it's supposed to lasts way longer than less than a week, plus $10 more for metallic color that is now almost gone on the tips!

    If you are in need of a manicure/pedicure in a pinch, this a great place for something quick. This isn't a luxury experience, but they get the job done. The salon is very clean, the service is efficient, and the prices are decent ($25 for a mani/pedi combo). Request your service upstairs, and while your nails are drying you will be treated to a massage chair that is out-of-this-world. Make sure you have some cash, as they don't take credit cards. If you show up with plastic, they have an ATM available, but be prepared for that pesky service charge.

    Came here today with a friend and wow we both had completely different experiences. The nail technician I got rushed through everything I didn't even get to look through all the colors. She took maybe 20 mins todo my nails start to finish and painted over my cuticles and left air bubbles. Then put oil on my hands no message. After that I had to sit and watch my friend get a wonderful manicure 40 mins longer than mine and message with lotion. I know in a couple days to a week my nails will be lifting. The most annoying part she didn't even have a client after me she just sat on her phone.

    2nd day shellac. Cuticles are jacked. 7 layers of polish. Looks like a week+ grow out.

    Sadly, this was one of the worst shellac manicures I've had. The nail tech didn't have the color on the swatch I chose, so she blended 3 different colors, which is fine - but she literally put 7 coats of color on. My cuticles are all jacked and she left such a large space at the bottoms of my nails that it looks like they're grown out over a week. She was really nice, but I get a better manicure down the street for cheaper so I will just continue to go there instead.

    Came here today short notice and got the best service! Thu spent so much time making sure my nails were perfect and exactly what I wanted. She is so friendly and made the experience 10x better. I would definitely recommend this salon to all my friends! Thank you!

    I've been to this nail salon multiple times over ten years and they're usually uncommonly good. Polish is 99% applied evenly and precisely (which is my sticking point for getting manicures) and the place is always clean. There have been times when the hot water has run out or when the massage chair doesn't work, but overall I've had pleasant experiences. I recommend a reservation since elegant nails is usually packed especially on the weekends.

    Love the baby pink color. Shilac!
    Saabrah S.

    The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because my appointment was for 1:30pm and Thu didn't start on me until about 1:40pm. When Thu was fast to apologize for being late due to having a hard time finding parking. Although she did a fabulous job on my nails and I love the outcome, she took a very long time. She didn't finish until 3:20pm. It should only take about an hour to get a full set. Maybe 1 hour 15 min at the most. Her attention to detail was amazing. They have a great selection of colors whether you want shilac or solar or just a mani-pedi buff out. The atmosphere was very nice and friendly. They offered everyone Water or Tea which was nice because it was so cold outside. Thu and some of the other nail techs even gave the clients little warming pads to place on our neck! I would suggest making an appointment as it seems to always be a steady flow of clients coming in. The lady sitting next to me said she had been coming to Elegant Nails for over 6 years and would never go anywhere else. As I was leaving there was a large group of kids under 12 or so getting their nails done in the upstairs area. So although they cater to adults they also will host children's nail party's as well. The bathroom was very clean as well as the rest of the shop which is set in a charming old Portland bungalow. There is a nice little waiting area complete with tons of magazines for your reading pleasure. I am very glad my usual nail place totally blew it and forces me to look elsewhere which is why I stumbled upon Elegant Nails in the first place! I will be making Elegant Nails my new place and making sure I request Thu every time! I will definitely do a better job at communicating that I have a specific time I need to be out of there. I'm sure had I don't this in the beginning Thu would not have taken so long to finish. I've included lots of pictures so you can decide for yourself. Thanks Elegant Nails!!!

    I got a full set of acrylics with gel and nail art. They are perfect! Will be coming back.

    I would not come here again. I went with my sister for her birthday weekend and we both left…read morefeeling like we overpaid for the quality of service. The staff seemed bothered by our every request. My sister showed a picture of the length she wanted and still had to continuously ask for her nails to be cut shorter, which seemed to bother her nail tech. The gel I was left with was filled with bubbles and uneven texture. We both left with uneven nail length, bad texture, and leftover gel on our fingers that we had to remove ourselves. I could have done my nails at home with my gel machine and just given myself a better manicure for free. The staff seemed to rush through our manicures, seemingly because they had overbooked and other people with appointments were waiting. Really not happy with my experience here and left feeling like I wasted my money.

    I went to this place as a second option, and it was an interesting experience…read more... The place itself is not clean nor organized. The environment was not inviting. It felt like walking into a party that you weren't invited to. There were 6 people in there, and they were all chatting to one another, stopping their work to share photos, and partially paying attention to their work. I had a dip removal done and a clear gel polish application. $42 I had this done 3 days ago and 4 of my nails have chipped. To be fair, my nails are thin from recovering from having dips for a couple months. However i wish these lasted longer. I will not be back due to the rushing of service, lack of attention to detail, unclean environment, and poor customer service.
