Definitely a hidden gem. The interior design feels way more elevated than you'd expect from the strip it's in - quartz finishes, salt lamps, blacked-out windows, and an overall polished, relaxing vibe. It feels like you stepped into a much higher-end salon once you're inside. The few times i've been service itself was great and I'm always happy with the regular gel. The only downside was the last time the hostess was being a little pushy about upgrading me to builder gel. I had to say no three times in a row before it was dropped, which felt unnecessary. Other than that, really cool place. read more

I came to Element Nails for a builder gel fill and unfortunately left extremely disappointed with both the service and how the situation was handled. I specifically asked for a rounded almond shape. Instead, my nails were filed into a very sharp, pointed almond, and in the process several of the sidewalls of my natural nails were filed down significantly. When I pointed out that this was not the shape I asked for, I was told that "next time" I should ask for oval. The issue was not simply that I changed my mind about the shape. I explained what I wanted before the service, and my natural nails were filed in a way that cannot simply be put back. What made the experience even more frustrating was the response afterward. I asked to speak with the manager, but the manager would not come out to speak with me and instead communicated through the person at the front desk that they simply would not charge me for the service. I appreciate that I wasn't charged, but considering the condition my nails were left in, I would not have expected to pay for the service in the first place. No one offered to actually fix or repair what had been done. I left with unevenly shaped nails, visibly compromised sidewalls, and now have to go somewhere else and pay another nail technician to figure out how to safely correct them without causing further damage to my natural nails. Mistakes happen, and I would have been much more understanding if someone had acknowledged what happened and genuinely tried to make it right. Instead, I was essentially told I asked for the wrong shape and sent on my way. For a salon service involving builder gel on natural nails, I expected considerably more care and professionalism. I'm including photos of how my nails looked immediately afterward so others can judge the work for themselves. read more

I had been coming to this nail salon every month under the previous owners and continued to visit even after Elements took over, including during the construction period. Unfortunately, the new management has really changed what was once a great nail salon. Under the previous owners, the salon was consistently busy, and the quality of service was excellent. While Elements provides similar services, they have introduced what I feel are excessive add-on charges. The salon now often appears nearly empty, with many staff members sitting idle, which makes the constant extra fees even more noticeable. For example, if you already have gel polish on your toes, they charge a fee to remove it and then charge another fee to apply new gel polish. If you have a Gel-X set done and return a new set, they charge an additional fee to remove the existing set. I've been getting my nails done for years, and this is the only salon I've encountered that adds so many extra charges for standard services. The quality of the work is acceptable, but the constant add-on fees make the experience feel overpriced and frustrating. I miss the value and customer experience that existed under the previous ownership. read more

Julie is my fav. And I had a gel nail peel off and they fixed it and made it look nice for a birthday I have to go to. They're higher priced but they have a lot of nails techs and packages for the feet and cbd massage packages. I love the billionaire gel colors and they have a bunch of other fancy gel options that I really like. *The photo I posted is of the nail repair, it's week old nails.* read more

Element Nail Bar - After a week - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Really loved the ambience of this salon, the matching uniforms were such a cute touch, and everyone was very friendly. My nail tech was sweet and did a great job! Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the pricing transparency. I wasn't informed beforehand that the builder gel was significantly more expensive than what I've experienced elsewhere, or that there would be a shape fee. The shape fee especially felt unnecessary since my natural length and shape were essentially kept the same with minimal filing. When I asked about it, I was simply told that anything other than square is considered a shape, which didn't really clarify the charge. I also asked to have my receipt texted to me, but it didn't include a pricing breakdown. I think having a clear price list and explaining additional fees upfront would make a big difference. I liked the salon and my nails, but the unexpected charges took away from the experience. read more

Element Nail Bar - Photo of receipt with no pricing breakdown - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Came here quite a few times and unfortunately this will be the last time I come. I came I went for a pedicure. I was sitting in a chair with no hot water. I mentioned it a few times to my nail tech. No fault to her. She was trying to fill it with water. When checking out, I mentioned it to the girl upfront. The girl said oh no you should've told me. I don't know how I could've if I was stuck in a chair and she didn't come around. No remediation for the unpleasant experience. Spent $100 for a pedicure to be cold and uncomfortable for the first half. Poor customer service for the girl up front. read more

Nice experience. Needed to be more clean. The guy was nice and I got what I paid for, but having a more efficient nail selection and help with finding what I needed would've been great! They definitely wanted to upsell and that same energy needs to be applied to the overall experience from the greeting to the farewell. The second time I went for a service the smell of acetone and acrylic was so strong that I had to leave for concern of getting sick. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. Called ahead, took my appointment over the phone and when i got here (right on time) told me that it would be a wait because of walk ins. Front desk lady didn't apologize or give AF and told me "i can't help when walk ins come in" with major attitude, what was the point to make an appt then?! No one around her seemed to care either, told me it would be a 30 minute wait. I've been here a few times and i will never be back. On top of that the construction does not look safe, within regulation or sanitary. Treating people like humans goes a long way, had the staff been the slightest bit empathetic that would've been appreciative. If you're looking for good service, you won't find it here. read more

Very unsatisfied , second time coming , new employees this time around. Pictures were taken at the salon. Pictures speak for themselves. Asked lady to clean them up she said they would clean up when I wash my hands, instead gel lifted in 2 days. Paid $150 for regular gel and for my toes to get rounded without asking. read more

It was honestly one of the worst nail experience I've had. First of all for a gel fill manicure it was over $100. my normal gel fill manicure is $50 anywhere else. they charged for gel removal, shaping (which my nails were the same shape when i walked in there) and cutting them down. my nails were chipping that night and a week later nails were falling off of me. a normal gel manicure lasts me a month without nails falling off, but this $100 manicure barely made it a week read more

Element Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I made the mistake of trying out this place when I couldn't get into my normal spot. Price isn't worth the quality. The decor and pricing gives off luxury vibes, clean establishment and staff is nice. Unfortunately, the quality does not reflect that. My toes were cut multiple times with an electric file. I hate that I paid $138 for a basic gel mani/pedi that I need to fix myself. read more

Element Nail Bar - 1 week after the pedicure. $49 for the deluxe pedicure plus $15 for gel. - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Since this location became Element Nail Bar, my experience has been awful. I have gone twice since the new ownership and will start my review with my most recent experience. On February 11, 2026 I went in for a pedicure with gel polish and a regular manicure with clear regular polish. The gal at the front desk asked if I wanted my services done at the same time, and I said yes because I was short on time. She then completely ignored my request, despite me telling her no fewer than three times what I wanted. There were many techs sitting around looking at their phones while I got my pedicure who could have easily done my mani at the same time. It was not busy. When I checked out, the gal at the front desk insisted I had a gel manicure and tried to charge me for it ($45 as opposed to the $27 for the regular mani). When I told her I did not get a gel manicure, only gel pedicure, she cried "I can see it on your nails!" which wasn't true. I had to tell her a second time that the service I requested and the service I received was a regular manicure with clear polish. She ultimately fixed my bill, but I did not appreciate the attitude. And, ma'am, I know what I got! My pedicure was unacceptable for many reasons. The tech did not trim my cuticles at all and I left with frayed hangnails around my toes. See photos. The next day, I wore closed-toe shoes to work and when I got home and removed my shoes, the gel polish on my left big toe was completely removed. Weird, right? I've been getting gel pedicures for years because of the benefits of fast drying/curing! So I went back that evening to have it fixed. I was met by the same front desk person who questioned me, but ultimately had another tech fix my toe. I was grateful for that! The fix on my big toe today, a day later, is still bubbly and awful as you can see in the first picture I've posted. My first experience at this re-branded salon was in December 2025 for a gel manicure and gel pedicure. I was generally pleased with the service and the customer service was way better the first time. The problem is that since that pedicure, I have had pain in my right big toe. I didn't think it had anything to do with my pedicure until I went back this week and noticed the tech didn't do any cuticle care on my toes. I think my toe has been in pain because the tech did not remove my cuticle or trim it prior to applying gel polish, resulting in pain when my toe is extended. Today, my right big toe started bleeding around the cuticle. See photo. I will not, under any circumstances, be returning to this nail salon. I am sad that the ownership changed. The previous ownership, when it was Classy Nail Lounge, was lovely, and I had many, many exceptional experiences at the salon. This new place is dangerous and I do not recommend it at all. They charged twice the price for what amounts to a completely irresponsible and unacceptable service. They seem more interested in serving alcohol than in doing nails right. Who needs to drink while they're getting their nails done? It's weird to me. Sharing photos of my toes tonight. Would you pay $100 for this?? DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

I lovee my nail tech and when they leave I will. Once called Classy Nails sold to a chain. They took a friendly nail shop to a chop shop for nails. Raised prices by at least ten dollars a service cbd pedicures really, they walk around with a tablet questioning watching everyone put them in ugly uniforms my question is with the increased prices did they give there employees a raise .... you already know.. I have lived downtown 22 years we are not that. Downtown has its own feel a personal vibe that this is not a place for chain nail salons form Chandler and not to mention one of there techs they brought in upset my friend with there service I can go on and on final world dont support them find another nail shop that is not a factory has no personal feel. read more

I've been a customer here for a while, but after my most recent visit I left feeling frustrated and confused. When I checked out, my total seemed much higher than expected, so I asked for an itemized receipt. After reviewing it, I noticed charges for services that I did not receive during this visit. For example, I was charged for nail length even though I did not add any length to my nails this time. What concerns me most is that I was told some services remain attached to your account and are automatically added at checkout unless removed. This makes me wonder how many times I've been charged for things I didn't actually receive. I also don't understand why my total varies so much from visit to visit when I'm consistently getting the same service. I encourage customers to carefully review their receipts before paying. Transparency and accurate billing should be a priority, and unfortunately that was not my experience. read more

Devon finally did my nails today after months of chatting with her when I'd come in, and she absolutely nailed it! She took great care of me. Devon and Emma are the two I know best there and they're both wonderful--so fun and talented. And the builder gel? I said no to it several times, but now that I finally tried it, I'm hooked. I don't think I'll ever go back to powder again! read more

Had a mani and pedicure with gel polish. Spent over $150 Very disappointed to be left with hard skin still on my feet and toes. Also the gels on my toes are messy on a few toes. The manicure was fine. Called the salon to rectify the issue and they offered me to return. However I do not have time for this I leave town today. A small refund or my tip returned would have been sufficient. I'm very disappointed with this service I do not expect to spend this much and be left with hard skin still on my feet read more

ANNA IS THE BEST!! She let me do this incredibly complicated design and was so kind and patient during all of it. She let me inspect every nail to make sure I was happy with each and every one of the 15 colors. It was her last appointment of the day and she stayed late to do it - I really appreciate that she made me feel so special. She's also very funny and I loved hanging out with her. Remember, she's off on Tuesdays!! To the owners: please please make sure she sees this. Thank you Anna, I've never had nails like this. read more

Element Nail Bar - ANNA let me do 15 COLORS!!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This review is purely for management. I've been going to Classy Nails (now renamed Element Nail Bar) for the last 2 and a half years. Today I went in for an appointment for a full set (Gel X) with designs on all fingers. My total came out to $165, which is already significantly higher than what I would have paid under previous management. The only reason I've continued coming back is because Mai is an excellent nail artist who consistently delivers exactly what I want without much direction. However, my experience at checkout today was completely unacceptable. After my card was already charged, I was informed that there is a 3% fee for using a card, applied to all card transactions. This was never disclosed beforehand. Businesses are required to clearly communicate any such fees prior to payment. More importantly, passing transaction fees onto customers in this way is not acceptable. These are standard operating costs that businesses choose to incur when they decide to accept card payments. If management does not want to pay processing fees, then they have the option to operate as a cash-only business instead of shifting that burden onto customers, especially customers who are already paying increased prices following the management change. When I questioned this, I was told it was due to their POS system which is hard to believe considering it appears identical to the system previously used when named "Classy Nails", which did NOT charge customers a 3% fee to pay with a card. Between the significant price increase and now undisclosed transaction fees, this change in management has resulted in a noticeably worse customer experience. Management needs to get a new POS system ASAP, or they need to pay this imaginary 3% transaction fee that conveniently only applies at their business and no other business in the Phoenix metropolitan area. I understand that you guys are probably trying to cover costs for all the new remodeling done, but it is poor taste to be overcharging your loyal customers for the services that were significantly less expensive prior to the name change, and then tacking on a random 3% transaction fee. P.S. if there actually was a transaction fee, it would be a flat fee and not a percentage of the costs of your service. Please get rid of this tacky "policy" which appears to be more of a money grab from your customers. read more

July 16, 2026, was the first time I visited. I called ahead and made an appointment for my daughter-in-law and myself. I told the receptionist that we both wanted pedicures and manicures. First of all, the decor design, lighting, furniture, and salon layout, was giving Vegas vibes. Employees all wore the same company logo shirts. All communication of services chosen were entered on hand held kiosk. We were ushered to our pedicure chairs. My tech, Tom, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. My daughter-in-law and I were having a light hearted pleasant conversation with both of our techs, when Ms. Le (owner) came over and sternly reprimanded Tom. At that point, the whole vibe of our experience changed. We all stopped talking. Being a manager in public and private cooperation, i understand employee conduct is critical. However, Ms. Le's tone, in front of customers embarrassed me. When I went to get my nails done, I was having a conversation with tech Lee, and I was interrupted by Ms. Le advising me that Lee did only had 20 minutes left with me before her next appointment. Her tone was VERY unprofessional. After that interaction, I just wanted to leave. Ms. Le needs to work on her public persona, and "micro managing the employees. read more

I came into town and needed my nails done so I chose this salon due to the photos I saw on yelp. When I came in I was assigned 2 nail techs that are not good at designs/acrylics/ gel x with a $200+ service. Leaving the salon i have had to file my own nails to try to achieve a shape that's pleasant to look at. I have horrible hangnails now which for a $200+ service is shocking. I'd also like to add that if you are getting your nails done as gel x for $82 that doesn't come with a cuticle/nail trim i had to pay an additional $15+ for that. Seems like they have a lot of "add ons" or as i like to call them unnecessary upcharges. I live in los angeles and get full set long acrylics that are AMAZING and INCREDIBLE and pay HALF of what this rip off salon charges. Will not be going back and will not recommend. I will say the pedicure turned out okay but the prices are diabolical. Also, towards the end of my manicure a worker came over and started recording me and my friend, very strange behavior. read more

loved my pedicure! very relaxing! Would recommend highly if in the area! Everyone was so friendly and the service was excellent.

I've been here a few times before the new ownership. Great pedicure! I would highly recommend coming here! I will be returning.

Nice place clean, staff was extremely helpful and friendly when I came in. The young lady which I was told is the manager at the front asked me what I was looking for I asked for natural nail with gel and a pedicure, the same the manager suggested builder gel which I replied, if it's absolutely necessary, I sat in the chair with MIA as my nail tech I referred to her own nails as which I wanted, my natural nail with gel polish I told her I did not want the builder gel smiled and nodded as though she understood. she began to trim and clean my nails when she gave me back my first hand I noticed she had cut my nails extremely short when she finished the second hand to match the first she then pulled out tips, and I explained again that that is not what I wanted nor was it what I had asked for the other tech sitting next to her explain the confusion and express that I never wanted my natural nail to be cut short, which MIA apologized extremely for I replied that it was fine if we could just paint them with gel paint and the manager found her way back over to us asked about the confusion and then seemed extremely confused herself and was rude in body language, and after explaining that I only wanted gel on my nails on my natural nail with no apology or concern she marked on her tablet and said OK perfect gel nail it is. I then ask the tech to please just finish the manicure with no gel polish. I had my four year-old son with me! I felt extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to leave very unpleasant situation which was understandable for a miscommunication until the manager returned and was extremely rude, I then had to go, and they still proceeded to charge me full price, knowing what had just happened, is fine if that's how they wanna run their business. I still tipped my nail tech because she clearly doesn't understand the language yet. I i'm extremely sad. I lost two months worth of growth. Just gone like I said just very very unpleasant. Overall experience attached is my nails before I went in my inspiration picture and what I got for $27 and a five dollar tip read more

Was worried about the name change... but Bri and Mila were amazing! Love my nails! Will be back

Edward was amazing. He really took his time on the pedicure will definitely be back to see him

It was very nice the first two times I went it and I was very happy then, my last time I went it I paid for a pedicure with callous removal and the technician acted as if my skin as too thin. So paid and tipped as I left toe nail chipped I came back today and once I brought to their attention they get mad and schedule me for another appt just to fix the chip. Guess what now my nail is lifting. This is unfortunate!!! read more
