Male staff member was rude and condescending language to my teen daughter. He should not be able to interact unless he can keep his personal opinions of the color she choose to himself. Calling her "ugly hands and baby" read more

Easy to make appts online, wonderful staff, exceptional work! I get fake big toe nails (don't ask) and they normalize the process so it's not awkward in the slightest... plus they look good! read more

I went to Elite Nails based on a family member's recommendation. Honestly I was not impressed the first time I went as my nails were uneven and my no-chip gel manicure was chipped a week later. I was told to go back again and was given a couple of names of people to specifically go to. Since then my nails have been perfect every time. PERFECT. My daughter has been there twice and did not have luck with either person. I wish I could give more stars, but because results are inconsistent, I am only giving them 3 stars. read more

Each tech is amazing! They always greet me by name and do a phenomenal job on dip manicures. I would recommend going at not busy times as they sometimes tend to overbook appointments, but as long as you have an appointment you will be taken care of. Would recommend! read more

First time client and last time client. I showed up to get a pedicure and the lady that spoke to me when I entered was nice and told me to pick out a color. When I sat down she said I can go into the back where they do the pedicures. So once I got back there, three employees saw me standing back there waiting to be told were to sit and all of them ignored me after making eye contact with me and didn't say anything. So I uncomfortably stood there for almost 5 minutes until someone who was walking back and forth finally told me to sit. Once I sat, still no one even acknowledged me and I sat at a chair with the foot bath empty for almost 10 minutes until someone was told they had to take me and you could tell she didn't want to. She smacked my foot to get it out of the bath and started to fill it up without saying anything. Then she smacked my foot again and pointed down as in "put your feet in". She made the water so hot it burnt my foot. When I told her it was to hot she smacked my foot again. Once she saw I was looking at the "menu" she pointed and looked at me waiting for me to tell her what I want. I pointed and she grabbed the menu and walked away. Once she saw the nail polish on my lap she grabbed the nail polish which made me very uncomfortable since it was right by me crouch. While she was working on the pedicure, it felt rushed, and not relaxing, she wasn't trying and never said a word to me and kept hitting my feet when she wanted me to move them somewhere. When she painted my toes it looks splotchy and I have polish on my skin. She took a hand fan to "dry" some of the polish for the clear coat and hit my wet toes and didn't fix it and just put a clear polish over it. I didn't look closely at my toes til I got home and they look like a kid did it and they are messed up from her hitting them with a fan. Looking at the tools she was using, they were in plastic red "fry/fast food basket" and not bagged. Who knows if they were even cleaned. As well as I forgot to mention earlier she was hitting my feet with dirty gloves on from someone else she just finished with before she decided to change them. At the end of the appointment she slapped my feet once again, grabbed my shoes and walked away. So I followed her and once I sat down by the fan she walked up to me, go in my face and said "you pay now" I asked how much and she pointed at a piece of paper and it said $40. Once I took out my card, she ripped it from my hand and walked away. Needless to say, she did not get a tip. I've never been treated that poorly with a nail salon. I will never be going back. read more

Elite Nails & Spa - She hit the fan on my toe and left it this way. Polish on skin. Even my husband said my polish looks horrible over all. - Nail Salons Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Absolutely terrible experience. The employee who did my nails began by arguing with me over whether or not I had acrylics on (which I didn't), so rude and unprofessional and also a little ridiculous to be called a liar. He proceeded to cut my nails I said "a little shorter" and he cut my entire nail off down to the bone I was appauld. I then asked for chrome nails and instead he gave me hologram. So now I have short boy nails with a spaceship like glare to them all after being spoke to so rudely by the guy doing my nails. AND it cost me $45! Icing on the cake? The no chip polish started peeling 2 days later and my nails all started breaking 3 days later. DO NOT GO HERE read more

Elite Nails & Spa - After 5 days, more than half of my nails are already chipped. And all of them are shaped poorly. - Nail Salons Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

I can not say how incredible of a nail salon this place is. The owners are wonderful. The have complementary snacks, tea, coffee, and wine. They make you feel like you are among friends. I absolutely love this place. I won't go anywhere else. They remember my name after going only a few times. They seriously remember everyone. It's such a relaxing and inviting environment. Not to mention the pedicures are the best. They rub your feet for like 30 minutes. It is the best nail salon I've ever been to. read more

This used to be my favorite pedicure spot, but I can't recommend it anymore. My toenails lately have been really poorly painted with bubbles and streaks. However, my most recent visit sealed the deal. I waited in the chair without water for 40 minutes. Then the tech pressed me into getting a heart design on my toes for Valentine's- which I didn't really want but she asked over and over until I gave in. Lordy I wish I hadn't. It looks HORRIBLE. And she charged me $10 extra for the monstrosity. I can't come back after that. read more

Writing this review to remind myself not to come here ever again! Danny (guy sitting at the station that had name Danny) didn't do what I had asked for and refused to shorten my nails (full set acrylic) after I had asked him to do so. He kept saying longer nails are better! Longer nails are not better for me and the job that I do. The acrylic only lasted me for almost 2 weeks when I typically can stretch it out to 3 and 1/2 weeks! I knew I should have walked out! Wish I knew what the hype is for this place... read more

HORRIBLE. I had to have my nails redone three times, and one day later they're chipped. First time she didn't file them like I asked, and cut them way too short after 'fixing it's , then she didn't paint my whole nail. So she 'redid it' by filing away top coat and creating a haze and bubble on all my nails. I heard at least 4 people come in with broken or chipped nails. I didn't think it was that hard to do a no chip polish. Very dissatisfied. Will never go back. I went based on Google reviews, but clearly those are not true. read more

Will never go back! Went here last week out of need due to my nail tech being out of town. Thought it would be a good experience. The nail tech was impatient with removing my pervious no chip... filed it off and used the nail polish remover to remove it quicker. With that, no chip was still left on my nails from the pervious time and was left unnoticed even during the manicure process. I had to draw her attention to it to have the rest of it removed. Unfortunately, she did not get it all and decided to continue to paint over it. I asked for matted nails and it was not listened to. She also put a clear top coat on that was not for no chip and had me sit under the fan. I needed to tell her that it was not the correct top coat... she removed it once asked... I am going on week two now and my nails are chipping. I paid $45 for nothing! Even the woman checking me out up front asked how everything was and I told her not good. She did not ask any further questions and asked if I wanted to leave a tip. Worst experience with nails!! I never leave comments but thought I would for this. read more

After the antibiotics were done the nail grew back ingrown. I had to go to the doctor AGAIN and had the nail cut out of my toe. Now I may have to have surgery to ensure this doesn't happen again. This has been the worst experience EVER with a nail salon. Do not tempt the health of your feet there! read more

I got acrylics done and they were uneven in all aspects and there was a lumpy application. We waited an hour for these results and the nail tech had to redo the nails because she messed up the color theme multiple times. When we came in to ask for a refund we recieved anger and people saying that "we expect to much". RUN read more

Elite Nails & Spa - French ombré dip nail polish - Nail Salons Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

AIN'T NO WAYYY LMAO My sister and I went in for a full set and no chip. My sister got the full set and showed the nail tech her inspo pic. Her nails came out nothing like the pic she showed, shape color size everything. She was given a $5 discount because another nail tech noticed her nails and questioned it himself. I got no chip and also had an inspo pic. Still, mine came out nothing like it. Lines are crooked and nail polish is already coming off. Our nails weren't cleaned either nor did they have us wash our hands before and after. By far the worst experience we've ever had. read more

My new favorite place... Sueann was wonderful! The dipping powder French is perfect. Thank you, Sueann

Called for an appointment, was told that 430 was available. Arrive on time, select my polish and wait. Now I have no problem waiting for a few minutes when I have an appointment. But I keep waiting, 15 minutes past appointment time and nothing. Finally about waiting 20 min they put me in pedi chair. No water in the bowl- nothing. I sit for another 10 minuets and still NOTHING. I've now been in the place for 30 minutes. Geez- while setting there I call another salon and they can get me in NO problem- and they meant it! I don't think I'll be going back here. Even when I got up to leave they didn't offer any sort of apology or anything. If you can't handle the supply and demand- don't open a store or kindly tell guest you are full for the day. With this attitude toward guest they won't be around long.... read more

The owners are the nicest people, and make you feel welcome. They remember the names of their customers, which is a lot more than most other salons do. They have a huge variety of colors and polish options, and always offer refreshments. I have always had great experiences with them and won't go anywhere else. read more

Still, without a doubt one of the best places around! Always pleasant and accommodating! I've know Sueann and Vincent for years. Consider Sueann a friend and wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails!!! Beautiful salon!!!! read more

Awful! Sueanne did full set on me. As the owner of a business to think she did a good job is sad. My nails are so Badly shaped I now have to go somewhere else to have them fixed. She rushed me through, it's unfortunate because the staff was really nice. vince did my daughter's nails and they turned out really nice. He took his time and it shows. we will not be going back for sure. read more

This is the best nail salon!! I have tried all of the salons in the area (and then some) and nothing tops elite. It is the most welcoming environment and everyone is happy to be there. I love elite nails! read more

The pedicure is great but I did not enjoy the pedicurist. They did not seem very happy to be there; the name is lost on me, but as long as you do not get them I would suppose everything great. I may come back, and I will update my review if I have an even better experience. Overall pretty good. I recommend you look out for an employee with more of a smile and less of an attitude. read more
