I've been coming here for about a year because it's close to my job. Today was my last time . Just like fast food workers with attitudes, if you don't want to work. Don't do it, simple as that! There was male tasked with doing my polish. He was sitting down not working like all the other women and was chosen to literally do his job. He was very rude and a bit forceful with putting the separators on my toes along with taking them off! I made sure i matched his energy with my tone and my body language as well along with not tipping. He didn't lotion my feet or confirm if I liked it mid way through. He also only gave me 1 set colors to choose from. The paint job is just okay. He was a complete jerk & i won't give this place another dime of mine! read more

Been here twice, the first time my Vietnamese friend brought me here. As a Latin man who has never had a pedicure in his life, it was a life changing experience. Both times I was attended by a younger woman named Linh, and she has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. The first time I got only the 35 basic package, the second time I splurged a little with the 55 dollar package that included a bunch of goodies. I plan on coming next month for my monthly pedicure, and will try out the super package at 70 dollars . I can confidently say that what you get for your money is excellent and I will continue to be a monthly regular from now on. read more

The nail tech cut my cuticle and made it bleed, then asked me to pay right afterward after the injury. I felt confused and uncomfortable to request for a discount because the nail tech did not offer any options to rectify the injury. The service also felt unsanitary, as the water wasn't changed from the previous client. In addition, the manicure was incomplete. I didn't receive lotion or cuticle oil at the end, even though I saw another client getting those steps. Given the safety, hygiene, and service issues, I will not be coming back and I do not recommend this salon. read more

Got the cutest and most perfect summer nails by Jake! I get almond shaped acrylics and the shape is so important to me and he nailed it! Figuratively and literally! He also did my pedicure and it was equally amazing! Toes came out perfect and the massage was a 10 out 10! read more

I tried several different technicians now and have never left satisfied. Today, was the worst of all, I actually cried because of the poor quality of the pedicure. When you enter a business that charges top dollar for a service, especially in this economy, you expect to be pleased or at least satisfied with the results. Half of the women are rude and think they know better than your requests, there's a pretty significant language barrier with a few technicians, and overall they just seem very unenthusiastic, even scrolling on their phones while painting nails! There was a lady sleeping and hunched over at the nail dryer. No massage, nickel and dimed me and just overall a really bad experience. Would not recommend. read more

The pedicure was great and I liked the facility and nail tech but the gel manicure didn't last even a day. By day two the gel was bubbling underneath and coming off. Asked for a refund over the phone and they told me to come in when I got there they said no. read more

I have written a review in google. It was awful and when I asked her to remove my acrylic gel which she performed she charge me! 30 dollars. Sorry for that! read more

Service felt rushed. wax was left on my face. Staff was friendly just not a great experience.

I have never written a review before in my life but this experience was not it. I just moved to this area and was trying to find a new nail spot. I am someone with sensory issues, i explained to the girl doing my nails 3 different times I don't like doing gel because of the texture of it. She continued to push gel and make me uncomfortable having to say no so many times. That wasn't the issue though, I wanted basic black and white nails. She told me it wouldn't last more than 3 days without gel, which just isn't true. She refused to clean up my nails, didn't cut my cuticles, left dust everywhere including the pain, and the worst part came when it was time to pay. She walked me over to the dryer and grabbed my card and checked it out without my consent . My total was 10$ more than what she initially told me, I didn't mind too much, but how could she just take my card? I asked " Can I tip with cash instead of card? " and she said " I know you don't have any money, you don't have to tip if you are poor " & walked away from me. I was so hurt and distraught, I couldn't believe someone would say that just because I didn't want gel. Customer service gets 0/10. I couldn't believe that was my experience here. read more

My nails came out great. They always have great customer service and are really fast. I decided to make a last minute appointment. Called at 4:00pm for a 5:15pm appointment the same day. They were very accommodating, and even gave me a call when I was running late. My nail tech is the best. She made sure I was satisfied with my nails before I left. I was going to get dip, but she told me acrylic would be good as well. So I went with it. No regrets. The color is amazing (of course I would think that since I picked it). Overall, every time I go there I'm happy about my visit. I would recommend! read more

I had a very good experience at Elite nails today. I came in as a walk in for a refill and a pedicure. There was a little confusion as to who was doing my nails at first but we were on track in no time. Mary did my toes and nails and did a wonderful job. I was very happy with the fact that she made sure things were straight and even. I also have issues were my big toe nails curl in and get dirt stuck under there. Most places over look it. Not Mary! She took care of it right away! I really like the cat eye effect they have. It was a lil pricey from what I'm used to back home in Oklahoma. But I'm happy knowing they were done right! read more

This is by far the worse nail shop I ever been to in my life. The service is terrible. I was passed around to 2 different workers for a overlay with gel polish. The second worker I was with, was trying to turn my wrist and fingers in ways that was not physical possible, I told her it hurts, yet she continued. I'm not the type to walk out in the middle of a service but I left after my nails was done. I couldn't let them do my toes. The polish wasn't good, it left streaks and spots. I mentioned it to her but she continued to use it. I left with glue and acrylic on my fingers. I completed my service paid and left. It was a mind blowing experience. Definitely not 52 dollars worth. read more

This nail salon is located in the plaza on fowler avenue. It is moderately priced and feel it is definitely worth every penny I must say I've been here several times and never have had a bad experience. My technician Tony takes his time and truly loves his craft. I have had several services done here and recommend it to anyone I know. They do offer a rewards program and I have signed up for it. My nails always end up lasting nearly an entire month when I get them done. I have been to other nail salons were they only last a couple days before they begin to chip so that is definitely a plus. They offer a variety of services and I will continue to come back here! The ambiance is relaxing and I love the massage chairs while I get my nails done. read more

I don't recommend this place my girlfriend made a full set in her hands and after two days she began to lose them when I returned to fix them the manager only told her that I could deduct ten dollars nothing more as it is possible for your employee to do a poor quality job and you as a manager instead of taking care of your customers you treat them badly for only ten dollars. where is the waste of time of your customers in your store is a service that they offer but they should take into account the time of the customers and the value of the cost I really do not recommend this place you will waste your time and your money like always read more

This place has had the MOST turnover. The owner gets in his feelings and talks about customers in front of other customers. My Nail tech flirted more than he worked. I literally had to listen to his life story and problems with his son's mother THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS THERE! Detail for detail including sexual things I didn't care to know. He filed ALL of my nails more on one side than the other. And what should have been him working on my nails for an hour or so ended up being a 2-hour appointment for a fill in!! Oh, and let's not forget he charged me $64 FOR A FILL-IN!!!!! Yeah....no. read more

If I could give negative stars I would! NO NOT COME HERE FOR YOUR LASHES!! I REPEAT!!!! DO NOOOOOOOT COME HERE FOR YOUR LASHES!! I came here for a yr to get my nails and lashes done. I loved the women who used to work there, yes I still had issues but she was quick to fix them with no trouble! I stopped coming to them for a couple months because these issues were an on going thing! My lids were bruised, swollen, red, itchy. The manager told me tht they always have a problem with me and tht they will no longer be serving me! Mind you I got my lashes done on Wednesday. THEY R STILL SWOLLEN!! I went back three times the last week FOR ONE EYE!!! the other eye was perfect and looked amazing! Tip the lady each and every time! Even if I sat there for 5 min! I stayed nice, respectful and understanding. But to still have a swollen, bruised and itchy eye after a week is ridiculous. I spent 100$ + $50 in tips for them to blame me! Sorry but my lib DID NOT look like this before coming to u! PICTURES FOR PROOF! read more

Went with some friends, they fit us in quickly which was great but we were told $35 for a fill on the phone and we were charged $40 afterwards. not really a big deal to me though. my tech was great, not sure her name but she was the very first station, took her time and made sure i liked them at each step. the only problem was with my friend's nail tech, station 10, the color she applied was not the one she picked and she basically told her she's too far into it to do anything about it. the nails were really bad, you could see the design she had TWO nail sets ago under the polish. I think your experience here just has a lot to do w who your nail tech is. read more

This was my first experience here. Let me just say I left more than satisfied. I was treated here for a pedicure and full set for my birthday. I had specific colors in mind.

My first time as a customer and I assure you I will be back as long as these two technicians are there. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER AND NOT CLEAN Save your money and don't go here. I've been here for years and the place has gone from bad to worst. I had dip nails done and they were uneven and i was left with glue all over my hands. Kenny did them first and I HAD TO ASK HIM TO CLEAN HIS CLIPPERS FIRST. I told the owner and when attempting to fix it she made it worst and had to redo them again. Fast forward 3 hrs of being there, my thumbs were the completely wrong color, the dip was so thick on my fingers hurt and I had glue under all my nails still. Owner didn't apologize and wouldn't offer a refund after I showed her everything that was still wrong. read more

I have been going to Elite Nails for two years now and it's the only nail salon I will allow to give me a manicure or pedicure. Prior to going to Elite Nails I had given up on getting my nails manicured because of the lack of skill, cleanliness, friendliness, and outrageous pricing. About two years ago I had a special event to attend and needed my nails manicured with gel polish. I searched in my old neighborhood, New Tampa, and finally in Temple Terrace. I went into several salons in the Temple Terrace area and was thoroughly disappointed. One place I had to turn around and leave immediately after entering because of the stench. Another place I sat down and the pedicure tub was filthy. I started to give up and just go to Sally's and get gel polish and a lamp, but decided to do a google search, and there was Elite nails! I read the reviews and they looked so good that I thought I'd give them a try. The review said to ask for Lenny because he was the best nail tech there. I wanted the best, so I asked for Lenny, and true to the review HE IS THE BEST!! I was so excited, finally I found a good clean, friendly, skilled, and affordable salon. Lenny truly is skilled, and has certificates to show his training and continued learning, which is very impressive to me. Not only does he have the paper but the skill to back it up. I have not been disappointed In the two years that I have been going to him. I have referred my friends to him because when they see my nails they ask who does your nails they are so pretty and last such a long time. One of my friends had gel nails done in a salon in New Tampa and the next couple of days they had all peeled off, so I told her to go to Lenny and she has had her gel polish for 30 days now, and I typically go three to four weeks (I know that's way too long because my nails grow out but I have a really busy schedule), but the fact that the polish last that long speaks to the skill of the technician as well as the quality of products. Lenny is very friendly and professional. He explains any questions you may have regarding your nail care, and it shows that he has a passion for what he does. The environment is very pleasing, and even more so since the renovation and expansion, which I really like. I hope and pray that Lenny does not leave this location, but if he does I just might follow . in addition, I would recommend you make an appointment with him because he is very busy and in demand. I can not speak to the other manicure technicians because I only go to Lenny for my manicure, but other customers look happy with some of the girls that are in the shop, and they are mostly very friendly. Lenny's wife tends to gel a lot of customers, just from my observation, but I do not know personally. Finally, there are two girls that I really love to do my pedicure and that's Kim and Mindy, boy will they put you to sleep and massage away your aches and pain in the legs and feet. I feel like I'm really in a spa!! read more

Elite Nails is the best nail salon in the area!! I've been going to this salon for two years and they do not disappoint. All the nail technicians that work in the shop are carefully selected and trained to be professional, friendly, courteous, and detailed. Their shop is VERY clean and doesn't smell like the typical nail salon. Every 2-3 weeks I get a shellac polish manicure for $20-25 and it always lasts until the next appointment. Although everyone at Elite Nails does a great job, my favorite nail technician and owner of the shop, Lenny, is my favorite. 6 months before my wedding, I asked if Lenny would do my nails before the big day, and he promised that he would. Not only that, he made a special appointment for me and my bridesmaids to all get our nails done right before the wedding! They turned out great. Thank you to Lenny and the rest of the nail technicians at Elite Nails for such great service! read more

well the did an average pedicure and nice manicure, but... if you want a retouch they totally ignore you and their behavior are very rude special a young guy that always there. i decides never back and exoenses my $100 plus dollars in other place read more

Pros: Salon is clean, lots of pedicure chairs available and I did not have to wait (walk in for regular mani pedi). The young women who did my pedicure did an excellent job. She took time to massage and paint the nails carefully. The color on my manicure was too light and she allowed me to get another color to coat over it. Cons: The older women who did my manicure. She cut my cuticles without any cream and now the skin is torn and in pain. She left the dust from shaping my nails and painted right over it. The paint job was rushed and careless and looks clumpy. There was very poor color selection. read more

I just moved to the area and they were close by so I decided to try them out...but my first visit will probably be my last...my polish is so thin in places you can see thru it...also the texhnici knicked my cuticle on two separate fingers with the filing drill so I have ugly red.... read more

I'm usually not one to complain, but this was probably the worst place I've ever been to. The nail tech was so careless. She made me bleed at least 4 times with the rotary file. It was like it was her first time doing nails. She painted a clear coat over blood, the whole thing looks so sloppy. Save your money or go elsewhere. My friend had a very similar experience here as well. read more

I want to give this place a good review but after going three times with the same bad, overpriced service I have to give them the one star review. I paid 28 for a gel polish change to still be able to see my previous color shine through. read more

I came as a walk-in and was serviced promptly. The staff was welcoming and all of the facility was super clean! I'm happy with my pedi!

This place has notoriously had very rude staff members and unfortunately it starts with the management. I decided it had been about a year so maybe things got better (they are so convenient to my house!). Well I guess things don't change around there because I came in for a pedicure and I brought some polish options to my chair with me and I was seated by the owner and told to "soak". I asked the lady next to me for some cotton with remover so I could take off the polish I tested on a couple of my nails....she looked me dead in the eye and just stared at me for a few seconds and said..."no I'm busy!" Long story somewhat short- one of the other patrons got up and got me some cotton. A few minutes later...."the lady" came over and started berating me in front of other customers telling me over and over, " you RUINED MY CHAIR!!!!! Rahhhhhh". I literally have no clue what she's talking about and told her that. She seemed so mad and was embarrassing me and I had no freaking clue why! I took my feet out of the water- didn't bother asking my "busy neighbor" for a towel and I let my feet air dry and walked out. They said nothing- no I'm sorry, no what can we do to fix this....but I don't know what I expected from a place I spent a year avoiding. Needless to say- I am NEVER GOING BACK AND I AM TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS TO BOYCOTT THIS AWFUL SALON. 30 some dollars is a lot to me and I will never give it to them. Save yourself and go to Amethia Salon a mile north on Fowler, they are amazing!! read more
