Had an amazing experience at Elite Nails & Lash! The quality of their work is top-tier, and the staff pays great attention to detail. Super clean salon and friendly service--I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I visited this salon for the first time, as a new resident of SD. The space was very clean and beautiful. The staff were friendly and welcoming. My pedicure experience was immaculate- I still dream about it! Lisa was very gentle, kind, and patient. The ambiance was so relaxing- I fell asleep. The work was very clean and done well. I recommended this spot to a friend and even my family members from out-of-town for when they come visit! read more

Updated review, only caused they asked me to leave a review, even after I told them I already did. I'm not sure how the quality went down. Both my daughter and I got pedicures and my daughter also got a manicure, no gel (my daughter is 10). They said they couldn't do a design on her nails cause she wasn't getting gel, they could only use stickers? My pedicure was mediocre, I've never had a tech immediately go in with an electric file. I guess she assumed I had gel on my toenails? I paid for the pamper me pedi, but it felt very basic. The pedicure itself was sloppy. My daughter's pedicure was good. However her manicure chipped in a day. I get that regular polish chips much more quickly than gel, but if they only want to work with gel polish, then they shouldn't offer regular polish. I was disappointed in the end. It felt like we were being penalized for not getting gel. Even though we had an appointment, I felt like we were in the way. I'm so sad, I really thought I had found my nail shop. read more

So I decided to give this place a try since I usually go down the street to another salon called CB Hair & Nails. I wanted to try somewhere new for the first time, but unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. This is how my toes looked by the time I got to my car. On top of that, I was just a receipt or told how much I was supposed to pay but then was just sitting there, and she walked away, so I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to go pay or if I was finished. There wasn't really any communication about it. And then, to top it all off, this is how my pedicure turned out. I think it's safe to say I'll just stick to my usual nail place from now on. read more

I spoke too soon about my visit here. Just got my nails done here on Friday and had to come back Sunday because my french tip chipped on my thumb, now it's a Tuesday and there's a few nails that's already chipped again and lifted. They use builders gel but why is it already chipped and lifted it hasn't even been a full on week. I will not be coming back. read more

They were absolutely horrible, they are rude, rushed the process and absolutely ruined my birthday nails they said sorry this is not something we can fix our nail artist is out for the next two days... like what? This place is OVERLY hyped and reviews are definitely bought. Also totally hung up on me when I was asking for a refund or something to get this fixed. read more

The ladies who did my nails were so amazing and helpful. They recommended using a newer technology for my acrylics , which turned out so pretty. We'll see how well they hold up in comparison. The atmosphere is so relaxing and spa like. I even got a hot rocks massage after polish application. I will definitely be back! read more

It was my first time trying them. At first, an older lady came and cut my toenails way too short. Then she wanted to do only one fake powder nail. When I told her I wanted all my nails to look the same, you could tell she was unhappy. The lady who came afterward was amazing, though. However, they charged me $112 just for my toenails! When I told my sister and friends how much I paid, they were all shocked by the price. And I already have two broken toenails. Answer to your comment: I still have your massages; you thought I did hot stones and feet mask and I did not. I chose the basic spa. You told me because we will do the powder the total cost will be $112 instead of each toe $10. P.S. Anna did a great job--she was amazing! read more

Hi, I went here last minute before a trip with daily water activities! They were all very friendly and accommodating! I was in there for about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs, which I would say is pretty fast for gel x nails (with design and jewels), gel toes (French tip), and a full set volume lash. The price was fairly decent, I paid, if I'm remembering correctly, $230 for all services! These are lashes and nail growth about 5 days after service, I had been in and out of pools, oceans, and plenty showers at this point. And for starting said activities just the day after getting my lashes done, I'd say they held up pretty well! Very pleased, 10/10 recommend!! read more

5 stars! Nancy gave me a great gel manicure. She was welcoming and made me feel comfortable and did a really great job. Will be back :)

Good quality and almost everyone I've had is talented. I liked that online booking was available initially, but both times I used it and requested my preferred tech, I was handed off to someone else. The first time seemed like a one-off as the tech said she had a sick child at home. No problem. Second time I arrived a few minutes early to what I thought was the earliest appt. available to find the tech running behind on someone else. My impression was that she has a standing appt. with a VIP. That's fine, but why have appts available online and double book? It's insulting to not respect a client's time. I booked days in advance and blocked off a morning of taking my own clients for this appt. On a plus side, Lena was very kind and did a great job. read more

I had Google Translate, 2 of your workers where mad and saying inappropriate comments because it was getting close to closing hour and they wanted to leave. They were rushing me, my nail artist and another young lady that was also there. It made it so uncomfortable and the experience poor. Maybe you should not let people book an hour before closing so your employees don't ruin your reputatio. read more

I was treated awful. They refused to do my Brazilian wax I booked online. They spoke to me like I was garbage. I told them I d like my nails (never would I refuse to pay). They called the police and lied. Thankfully I started recording when they started being rude. It was scary having the police called when you are in a new state. He begged the police to destroy the video. I know they didnt want to wax the black girl!!!! read more

**writing this from my husband's Yelp Such a wonderful first experience here--and my first-ever Gel X service! I'm not usually a "nail girlie," but I'm heading out on a trip to celebrate my husband's milestone birthday and wanted to feel a little extra fancy. The salon I occasionally visit had over a one-hour wait for walk-ins, so I called this salon on a whim and was thrilled that they could see me right away. From the moment I walked in, the space felt immaculate, serene, and calming, and the staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming. My Gel X nails turned out beautiful and what I wanted and the whole experience felt relaxed and pampering from start to finish. I'm so glad I found this place and will absolutely be back! read more

I had a great experience at Elite nails!! The customer service was amazing and my nails look beautiful. I will definitely be coming back!

Theyre very friendly but their gel-x & builder gel experience is not the best. Ive gone to an independent nail tech who specializes in gel-x & builder gel and this place did not compare unfortunately. The gel-x nails were applied with too much gel underneath which caused my nails to detach a little underneath after about a week. Then i made another appt almost two weeks after for a soak off removal & builder gel and i feel like the gel from the gelx was not fully removed. My nails looked bulbous and im struggling to fix them now. Theyre very friendly & clean but not the best at gelx & builder gel. read more
