Tried to charge me for a manicure AND a gel set of nails. I didn't want a manicure, I wanted a set of nails. I have never been charged for a MANI & A SET OF NAILS. Outrageous, who pays $55 for a set of nails? So I did NOT get a set of nails but they did NOT bother to put any polish or a clear coat on my nails after the manicure (WHICH IS NOT WHAT ASKED FOR). It's your job to have a clear understanding what your customer asks for, and not to ASSUME what you think and then do what you want...then try to charge for it. So for $20, she cut my cuticles back and did nothing else, no polish & one of my cuticles is bleeding. Waste of time. Learn about CUSTOMER RETENTION. This was your error NOT MINE, you should have eaten the cost of the mani and given me what I asked for to retain our future business. We will not be back. I agree with another reviewer - Elite Nail Bar LACKS TRANSPARENCY. It's NOT elite, at all. Also manager/owner was rude when I tried to understand WHY THEY GAVE ME A MANI instead of a set of nails for $35. After the mani, she yells CHARGE HER FOR BOTH, mani and nails...to which I replied JUST FORGET THE WHOLE THING, & paid $20 for a 5 minute botched clipped cuticle half manicure job with no polish (or even a basic clear coat)! read more

Elite Nail Bar - $20 for a mani with no base coat or top coat and nicked cuticle. - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I wish I had remembered writing my last review before going back to this business. Have you ever walked out of a business feeling like you've been completely taken advantage of? Yea, that's how I felt at the register at Elite Nail Bar. I paid $65 for a regular mani pedi and when I showed them a text that I got from their business for $5 off my total price, they didn't honor the coupon. Their prices are not posted anywhere. Not online. Not in their store. Nowhere. They could literally charge you anything they feel like. This business lacks transparency. I will never be back. read more

I love it here! I usually get dip powder and have gotten pedicures before. I loveeee the smoothies and tea they offer and they are always a fast turn around. The last time I went, I saw Kim and she did a spectacular job making sure my nails looked perfect! My one suggestion would be to make sure that dip manicures also get their cuticles taken care of and a massage after. Dip is more expensive than other manicures and that service would be appreciated! Color pictured is #74 I believe. read more

So far so good. Most of the nail salons in the area are just not up to par. This salon is beautiful and clean. Definitely an "Elite" standout. This would be a perfect place to bring a group to get your nails done. They have a huge selection of powders, dips, and shellac. One thing I love about Elite Nail Bar is that they have a juice bar. They served a Thai Tea to me while I was having my nails done. They have customer service down to a T here. Keep up the good work and I will be a customer for life. read more

Elite Nail Bar - Delicious Thai tea. - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

The women take care of your nails and are perfectionists! 13/10!! Worth the drive from Denver. Elite Nail is far better than any nail salon in Downtown Denver. The ladies at Elite Nail Bar - are friendly, and their work is memorable, they are perfectionist in their work, and high-quality in their work. Will thoroughly recommend to all friends and we will be back every month! Clean facility, organized, and new appliances.They also give you a free fruit smoothie or Thai tea! I recommend Be for pedicures. She is hard working and at the quality of nail work that I would receive in Los Angeles and New York City! She's worth it! Thank you, Be, for doing a fantastic job on my pedicure! read more

Elite Nail Bar - Mango smoothie - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

A friend of mine and I chose Elite Nail Bar because they have great reviews, but by the end of the night, I was convinced that we must have somehow gone to the wrong place (spoiler alert... we didn't). First of all, my friend made both of us a reservation online. When we showed up, they seemed confused and asked us to sign in, so we did. There were only two other clients there, so there certainly didn't seem to be a reason for the lack of preparation. Plus, we made a reservation, right? We were asked multiple times what we wanted (both of us wanted a mani/pedi) which was annoying, but whatever. We chose our colors and each were asked to have a seat in a pedi chair. The water in my basin wasn't even lukewarm while my friend's water was so hot it turned her feet and ankles red! Again, we are generally easy going people so we just rolled with it. Other reviews said that Elite offers free drinks, yay! That's half of the reason we chose them. When asked what she would like, my friend asked for a mango smoothie. The technician repeated her order to another technician who was clearly in the middle of a manicure and that was the end of it. No smoothie. And I wasn't even asked. Weird, but again, whatever. My friend and I were catching up on our week, so we just kept chatting. The pedicure itself was going ok until my technician got out the heel file. He wasn't really paying attention and ended up cutting my ankle! We should have stopped there, but like I said, we're pretty easy going people. Once it was time for our manicures, they separated us on opposite ends of the salon. What? I've literally never had a salon do that, especially when we clearly walked in together and were talking the entire time. Once we were finished, my friend came over and showed me that her fingers had been cut not once, but TWICE! Needless to say, we both bathed in Neosporin when we got home. Not really, but you get the idea. Congrats for making it this far. I rarely feel compelled to write bad reviews, but I just don't understand how this place has 4 stars. Enter at your own risk! read more

I hate to come back with this, but after two subpar experiences, I feel I have to update my review. Which is such a bummer, as I thought I had found my spot. Let me preface this by saying I can no longer get any type of gel/shellac manicure. My nails get far too thin and break constantly afterward, so it just isn't worth it. Given this, I know I'm not any nail salon's ideal customer, since I'm coming in for the cheapest offering (regular manicure with polish). I've come in twice now for a polish manicure and deluxe pedicure, and both times I've left disappointed. The pedicures were nice and done well, but one time I got the paraffin wax treatment, and the next time I didn't for the same service. When I asked why it wasn't included the second time, I was told it was an add-on. Both manicures left a lot to be desired. First, they start with putting cuticle cream all over your hands, baggie-ing them, then putting them in warmers. I've never had this done before, so it was interesting. Each time, my cuticles have been cut into and painful, with one even bleeding. Barely any lotion and a half-baked massage really sealed the deal, especially when I could have done a better paint job at home. In addition, the tech seemed very put out that I was even there. There was a lot of sighing over the color I picked or when he would forget something, and it made me feel unwelcome. I can look past a lot of things, but all I wanted to do was leave during most of the appointment. Unfortunately, I won't be back. I hope they provide better training to their techs in the future. read more

I thought I'd found my spot like another review (Karly K), but after the last 2 disappointing visits, I won't go back. Both times I took my elderly mother with me. I made appointments for both of us. They took me late and didn't have anyone for her although they let her sit next to me. I kept asking when they were going to start her. They ended up having 3 different tech's working on her and they didn't do a great job for just a regular manicure. Just a few days ago I made another appointment for 3 of us....2 pedicures and 1 manicure (again my mother). She also wanted her toenails clipped as well which they charged $10! She was very rough with her and was not friendly or hardly talked to her at all. It made me feel really sad. Then came the manicure which again, was just OK. The pedicures were for myself and my husband, they started my mother and I on time, and over 20 minutes later my husband was still sitting up front waiting for someone to start on him. I noticed on the sign in sheet 2 walk-in's came in 15 min before our appointments. Two of the the techs were working on them and they only had one other customer (only 4 techs total there) and no one available for his appointment. What the hell is making an appointment for? If a walk-in comes in, why can't they tell them they will have to wait or come back later because they have appointments coming in? I'm sorry, but this is my pet peeve. You make an appointment and it should be worth something. I can see 5, MAYBE 10 minutes late, but over 20!!! I told him just to leave and expressed my dissatisfaction when I left. I shouldn't have even left a tip on my mom's service. Also, they use to have a little perk and ask if we wanted something to drink, which I thought was cool. The last 2 times, nothing, maybe they stopped doing it, I don't know. Needless to say, what I thought was a good place these last several months has gone downhill in my opinion. read more

Dropped in on a random Thursday at noon to get my grandmother a pedicure and Kara did an amazing job! Kara took her time, was so thorough and cleaned each toenail immaculately! (And it's so gross I can't believe her kind attitude) I'm truly surprised at the care my grandmother is receiving and how clean the salon is, all the tools came from a sealed pack. Absolutely coming back. read more

This place is wonderful! They take the time to do everything right and they serve complimentary smoothies or tea! They were awesome and I'll be going back indefinitely! Everyone is good! read more

Very pleasantly surprised. Much larger space than I was expecting when I walked in. Very clean, all new chairs and accessories, polite and helpful front desk, and great service. I just came in for a basic mani-pedi, and will definitely be back. They also have a juice and tea bar. Next time I'm getting one of their Thai iced teas! read more

My friend and I went to this nail salon this morning and we had a VERY pleasant experience. I fully appreciate the attention to detail, the cleanliness, and the awesome conversation with our pedicurist'. It was pretty awesome. We are both busy people who don't treat ourselves to these things very often. A lot of times when you don't do things like this for a long time and you decide to treat yourself, you regret it because it wasn't worth the time, money, and sometimes is a subpar service. This was NOT the case here. I don't regret taking the morning off to have a little spa treatment and am actually encouraged to make this a monthly thing for me at this nail salon. Ps. It truly was the cleanest nail salon I've ever been in. I work in the beauty industry myself and appreciate sanitary practice and properly clean implements. If I could give this place more stars, I would. read more

I've been struggling to find a good nail salon in the area. This new salon is great so far. Had appointment and they sat me immediately (I've had major frustrations with other salons seating walk-ins just before I get there causing me to wait up to half an hour with appointment ....grrrrrr). Guy at front desk was attentive and brought an iced tea. Pedicure was well done and the technician was friendly and did a solid job including good nail art. Very clean, will go back again to see "Samantha". read more

Elite Nail Bar - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

I am so surprised how bad it's gotten. I used to go here but after yesterday.. no more. I took my mom for her birthday to get a pedicure and my daughter a set of acrylics. They cut me several times and rushed services (we had an appt) my moms pedicure lady put her flip flops on while she was still drying and never cleaned them up. She's 70 and the lady was being rude cause my mom couldn't hear her very well. My daughter was cut (bleeding) several times and when she'd flinch or say something the lady would say to sit still. Did not discount anything after all this and didn't care we left unsatisfied. read more

I'm hesitant to give a good review because I want to keep this place a secret all to myself! The staff was all really friendly and nice they did a great job on mine and my mother-in-law's pedicures and you get a free drink with any service?! What more could you want?? It's new, clean, bright and friendly. We didn't have to wait for our walk-in appointment at all, when I called to make an appointment earlier that day they said to just come in. I don't get my nails or toes done often but this place makes me want to start going all the time! So relaxing! read more

This place is new and clean and they have all of the dips and tips and polish and shaellac you could ever ask to choose. I walked in on a Wednesday at 1pm for a shellac rebase and a pedi. I was seated right away, which was fantastic. I left the place I had been going for almost 13 years because I was tired of waiting for long periods of time when I had an appointment. So far, so good! The woman started my pedi and I was feeling like it was going to be good. But right when I was starting to just relax another woman came over and started filing my nails to remove my shellac. The entire pedicure was spend with my hands in the air while the nail tech worked on my nails. I was wasn't a fan. I have a toenail issue, due to running and I need acrylic on both big toes, it is something I have been doing for years because they split and catch on my sock. The woman doing my toes had a really difficult time and when I got home and had a chance to inspect, it looked like one toe had a jelly bean on the end of it. 9 days later that piece of acrylic has fallen off, which has not happened in the 7-8 years I have been doing this. When my toes were complete the nail tech took me to her station which was against the wall just under the polish shelves. A big group had come in and they were all reaching over my head to look at polish. A friend of the nail tech was in the chair next to me(hanging out, not getting a service) with her young daughter and her toys. The little girl was very sweet, but clearly a 3-4 year old kid can only be still and quiet for so long. Mom was facetiming with a friend the entire time I was there and they were so loud, dropping F-bombs and gossiping about a wedding they were going to the next day. I felt like the nail tech was trying to rush to get me done, maybe because she could see I was uncomfortable ? But, it shows in my nails. The shallac was all lifting on the corners and I had them redone Thursday which was 8 days. It was just too much. The place is so new and so clean, it has potential but I don't think I will give it another go. I will continue my search for a reliable nail salon. read more

I had a great experience. Vicki did my nails I had dip and she duplicated the picture I showed her perfectly. The price is responsible and the salon is very clean. At the end you even get a hand massage read more

This place is DISGUSTING!! I saw them use files and drill bits on peoples feet then immediately use them on someone else's hands. Not a rinse, no soap, nothing. DO NOT GO HERE! YOU'll END UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH AN INFECTION. read more

Hundreds of choices for dipping. They do every type of service from gels, shellac, dipping and more I'm sure. Clean and peaceful. Staff very friendly and helpful. My new favorite nail shop. Here's a picture of my manicure 4 days later. No signs of chipping or color loss. read more

Elite Nail Bar - 4 days after dip set - Nail Salons Near Me - Arvada, Colorado

Elite nail bar is clean and near where I live. Only downside is feeling like they where in a hurry . I understand they where busy on a Saturday but when I got home I noticed that they had not fully painted my little toe. read more

Enjoyed my experience here, got a set of gel nails done. I was offered a drink, and chose the Thai tea, delicious! The polish looked great for the first few days. One nail cracked on day 4, but didn't break off. Then, the gel layer started peeling and coming off on day 8. This gel manicure did not last as long as I anticipated, on day 11 all nails came off easily. Didn't last two weeks, like I'm used to from other salons. I would probably try other salons before returning here, but overall experience was nice, relaxing, and clean. read more

This was def one of the laziest manicures I've ever experienced. I went in for a dipped powder manicure. When the associate informed me it would be a 15-20 minute wait. I asked if I could soak off my gel while I waited. Rather than foil my fingers- he just brought a bowl of acetone and pretty much instructed me how to do it myself. He tried to convince me that "this is how they do it in the south." I've lived in the south and that's a lie. It's my understanding that he wasn't a tech but I would've rathered he just ask me to wait for removal until my tech was available. The tech didn't take too long and removed and did my nails- dryly. No water, no soak, no actual manicure. When I asked if she was going to do my cuticles, she informed me that cuticle cutting is only offered with gel manicure (even though it's a cheaper service) and that I'd have to pay $5 extra if I wanted it done. I declined. She stopped dipping after two coats. It wasn't enough coverage and you can still see my nail but honestly I just wanted to be done. After finishing the top coat, she put oil on my cuticles and then just rubbed the residual around my hands. No lotion or massage. I had to ask if she could remove the stuck on powder from the messy removal process from my fingers and hands. I also had to ask if I could wash my hands because even when she said she was done, they were sticky with dust, powder and oil. It's a shame bc this place looks quite nice, but I def will not be returning. I typically tip 20% but this place was so disappointing I barely left 10%. read more

My daughter and I both got full sets two weeks ago today, the nails were very pretty but my daughters nails started popping off like press on nails less then one week later. My nails started to crack down the middle about four days later. She did acrylic I had dip done. Unfortunately, my daughter now has a bacterial infection on her pinky under the last nail to fall off. I have been here before and all other times it was great. read more

Very clean and friendly place. The only thing I had a problem with was that I was not asked what type of pedicure service I wanted.

I went to this place after first going to Padela nails across the street and realizing the fumes were too concentrated. Glad I did! The place was very clean. I like that they use liners inside of their foot baths and find them to be very hygienic. Got a very nice pedicure and enjoyed my time. The staff were very polite and I will go back! read more

Clean and new with excellent service - what more could you ask for? Lots of big comfy massage chairs for pedicures, which is key in my book. They offered me a drink while I waited, was surprised they had smoothies and Thai Iced teas beyond just soda. They offer all the regular nail services as well as Voesh and Jelly pedicure upgrades and waxing. Everyone was nice and knowledgeable - definitely recommend! read more

Basically all of the staff was very rude and the vibe was overall uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I would NEVER recommend the place to anyone. Good idea, beautiful place, but terrible customer service and rude employees. We went to Padela Nails across the street instead. I was really looking forward to going to this place- super cute, high quality, reasonable prices, and a complimentary drink - how cool! I made an appointment online and when I got there my appointment was not written down and there was no spot for us to get it. So they said it would be only 15 minutes and we would be in line behind the walk ins, which i was totally cool with waiting. Then an employee walked up to me saying I did not fully confirm my reservation so our wait would be too long for them to help us. read more

Had a great experience here, the pedicure was a no wait to be seen. Super comfy chairs and large TVs around the business with various shows on. They offer complementary tea and coffee for you. The lady who did the pedicure was very detailed and took her time. read more

Shellac mani for a good price. I stopped in yesterday afternoon to see if I could get a walk-in appointment for a manicure. It was about 4:30pm but they were not busy & were able to take me immediately. I knew the price of a manicure but didn't know what to expect for shellac, knowing it would be a bit a more. The nail technician did a great job gently removing my cuticles & shaping my natural nails into the shape of my choice. They have a very big selection of shellac colors & I was pleased with the service overall. My nails look great & the shellac mani was only $30! Ended with a lovely arm/hand massage. My favorite nail salon is in Denver but I will be back to Elite Nail Bar since it's so much closer to me & so affordable! read more

Wow this place is beautiful! It's very chic! My pedicure was seriously the best, I got a rose jelly pedicure. It was different but I am in love!

Today was my first time at this nail salon, I wish I could talk about all the things that I actually liked about the place but honestly all I'm going to remember this place for is how rude my nail tech was and his unwillingness to listen to how I wanted my nail design.
