I was under the impression that all of this was free: that's exactly how she made it sound. When we were all done she told the front lady that I had 3 services done and I was about to get charged $160+. I told them what the waxer had done for me and she informed me she would remove those charges. Upon getting home I see that I got overcharged still and I got charged for a $28 eyebrow wax that I didn't even receive. Wax never touched my eyebrows , a tweezer did!! And to get a couple hairs. Ridiculous. I'm never coming here again.

You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in what she does. She's also very knowledgeable and explains every step and products she's using, which I really appreciate.

I went in here for a pedicure out of inconvenience instead of where i usually go. Horrible mistake! when i told the owner not to cut the side of my big toes, she insisted on cutting it causing it to bleed! instead of apologizing, she said it happens most of the time but it would be ok soon, "its better for me." the pain wouldnt stop throbbing for days! i called in after 2 days and spoke to the owner's husband on the phone about what happens, he said they are the professional, i am not, they run their business however they like, but give it a few more days and it will heal on its own. how many days is someone supposed to suffer after a pedicure?! He told me that if i come in the next time to speak up. I've already did and his wife was not a very good listener! I am never coming back. This place haunts me! I have already sent in my complaint, doctor prescription, and pictures to the State Board for the infection this place has caused. I am sorry but Elite Nail & Spa can disregard courteous customer service if they would like since its family owned, but they cannot be causing pain and harming clients! read more

So recently I've had some terrible issues with this salon. This week I went into to get my nails done and I was appalled. My cuticles we're severely cut and the nails were very sloppy in there installation. There was left over glue on my fingers and poor customer service overall. They were unfriendly when making there appointment and didn't even give any recognition that I was there to begin with. A week later despite all these issues I thought maybe it was just a bad day so I went to get a pedicure done. I didn't receive any of the nice amenities that come with one. The pedicure consisted of a spritz of alcohol and the painting of my nails. Due to the fact that I paid significant money for these services I would assume better overall service and my nails even sub-par in quality. Due to these recent quality issues I would have a strong time recommending this salon to anyone. The prices aren't terrible but the quality shouldn't suffer because of the cheaper price tag. read more

I've been coming here for over a year now for pedicures. I kinda stumbled across this place in a pinch. I was going out of town and they opened on Friday morning earlier than my normal spot. The owner, Katie, and her husband, were so accommodating and good, I left my normal pedicure place after a 3 year relationship and have been here since. They have a variety of pedicure packages so you should have no problem finding one in your price range. I always go all out and get the pedicure with the sugar scrub, mask, hot rock massage, and paraffin wax...HEAVENLY. It feels amazing. I seriously love this place. I never get my nails done, but my daughter does and they're always cute. Don't hesitate to check this place out. You won't regret it. You may want to call ahead for an appointment because it can get busy; it's a popular place. read more

I do not recommend this place. poor experiences in their expertise. horrible customer services. i would give this nail salon a zero star if i could. I will make sure our experience with this place be pass around. like previous comments, they can only "attempt" to do ur nails and that is exactly what my gf had to go through. i know yelp likes to remove honest customer reviews and leave spammer to advertise their own company and such, but that is alright. i will make sure others wont suffer the terrible customer service like us. save ur money for other salons who can do their job correctly. oh! almost forgot! they reuses their nippers and such, so make sure you watch them closely before they start! this place is very unsanitary. hopefully, they will learn not to be so cheap like their prices. quality actually matters. read more

I don't know where to begin !!! I love elite nail and spa. Katie and her husband are the BEST !!! Katie has so much experience she takes her time with each client and does such an amazing job. When she brings in new staff she always asks about your experience with them and if your experience isn't good she will go out of her way to resolve the problem. She carries quality product and wants nothing but the best for each client that walks in and out of her salon . So if your looking for a fabulous nail salon look no further THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Also very patient with children ! I take my daughter in for little mani and pedi and I am so pleased read more

Katie isn't done until she is satisfied with her job and I love that about her! Everybody that works here does an amazing job! I think I've had them all work on me once. Walk ins are welcomed and it's not to long of a wait at all. 5-10 mins max. I don't think I will ever change salons unless they jack up the prices or give me an infection lol IM IN LOVE WITH MY NAILS RIGHT NOW! Thank you Katie! read more

So anyways she did it and the big toe was not polished right and so I Asked and it was "fixed" by putting more top coat which didn't didnt fix it!

I was not happy and decided I would not return here. The polish was really poorly done! Like a kid did my nails who doesn't know what they're doing! waste of time and money. However my niece comes here and has specific nail tech that does her nails and called the same day to get a color change of her toes, well Natalie wasnt there and somehow they put her with someone who seems very new and doesn't have much knowledge of how to take care of your nails. My niece was suppose to get a color change and so somehow it turned into a pedicure and she didn't even do the massage part. So did bare minimum of doing pedicure to the feet and the color. It Took 1.5 hours and I was getting frustrated as it was. Even a full pedicure doesn't take 1.5 hours! and the tech Michael was doing one toe at a time and missing some steps and coloring vertically. It was annoying to watch and feeling time is wasted. So I brought it up the manager the issue and he got offended. I am unsure why! It's a customer's honest opinion. Where is the problem! Find me someone else to finish the job or you finish the job because it's a horrible job! He's slow and we're late! So he was very unpleasant manager to deal with and saying to my niece who is a minor that he has her number as she called to make an appointment. What are you going to do with the phone number. Is this a joke! Very hostile environment and Chairs are super close together. All I can say I NEVER AGAIN! I'll take my business elsewhere
