Elite Nails - Love the new Valentines look you gave me today! It is SO COOL. - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

To be honest, my service was excellent, besides waiting 30 minutes after my scheduled start time. This was a mother daughter visit with my daughter also scheduling a manicure. We were taken to our seats and waited another 15 minutes after, we were told they had appointments scheduled! We had scheduled, and were ignored! For some reason repeat customers are taken before any NEW scheduled appointments!! Now Jenny was the best pedicure I've ever had. And it was then I saw how sad and despondent my daughter was! She was told she would have to wait until another manicurist was ready. We been there over an hour now! The manicurist was working on a little girl and her mother. He was painting different colored flowers on each nail and we were told we'd have to wait for the mother too because they were SCHEDULED appts. We were scheduled 2 weeks in advance but were treated like walk ins! By now since I am disabled, I was in pain for sitting so long! Lyme poor daughter received an awful job. Leaked polish, rushed through service and polish already chipping!! She did not tell me until after I paid 160.00 for her awful service. This salon MUST do something about their scheduling!! My daughter is leaving on vacation to Florida, the reason for the mani pedi and this salon did not give us our scheduled appointments!! read more

I hate to leave such a negative review because Cindy is such a nice person, but honestly, this was one of the worst nail experiences I've had. I had to wait 45 minutes for a scheduled appointment and as a result, my manicure was very rushed. I got gel X and all the nails have fallen off within 72 hours. I had my nails done for an event, and fortunately, was able to make it work with glue from Walgreens, but I'm very displeased to say the least. I am hoping it was just a fluke / bad day, but I won't be going back read more

Very rude Customer service was horrible the entire time. I don't remember the last time a business treated us so poorly. Pedicure wasn't even good. read more

I made an appointment for 1:00 PM on Monday, arrived on time and was told it would be a few minutes. After 25 minutes I left and told them why, they said, oh, only a few more minutes, and I said I had a 1:00 appointment, I am not waiting any longer. read more

Amazing work by Jenny and Andy! They took me as a walk in and took their time! I am so glad I found them! Cannot recommend more! These are my real nails! read more

Elite Nails - These are my real nails! Jenny did a great job - Nail Salons Near Me - Avon Lake, Ohio

Great location in Avon Lake. Adequate parking . The place does need a good cleaning though (the face shields and tables are a bit outdated and dirty from working on hands) . Emily and Lee are very nice. read more

I paid 75 dollars for a gel luxury pedicure plus a $10 tip, I was pretty shocked at how much it costed. I'm not sure if that's a normal price for them or if I got overcharged. An hour later, the guy calls me and says that I underpaid and asked to run my card for another $13... is that a normal amount or did I get ripped off? I always get the same thing at every nail salon and never pay more than $55 not including tip. read more

when you want the best in nail care you go to Elite Nails... professional, well kept salon that offers a huge variety of nail colors and products. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating to your needs. You can bring in a picture of a style that you wish to try on your nails and they CAN duplicate it. I am never disappointed when I go to this salon. My nails look perfect and I am completely relaxed by the end of the session. Try the "dip" powder on your nails.... you wont be sorry. I would recommend my nail tech but I dont want him to be so busy that I cant get into him. haha.... any nail tech from Elite is top notch. read more

I just had the BEST Powder Dip Nails Mani and Pedi today!! Emily did my Powder Dip Nails and she did an awesome job! They look natural and no lumps. I will be going back. My pedi was awesome as well. Both ladies took their time to do it right. Thank you Elite Nails. You have a repeat customer read more

I texted in the morning to make an appointment for a pedicure. I got a response within 10 min (mind you I was booking on a Monday, I know nail salons can be busier during peak hours) and was booked and ready to go. I had asked for any time at or near 11. I was originally offered 12 and considering I was booking last minute that was perfect. But they texted back later and gave me the option to come in at 11 which I really appreciated. When I got there they were ready to go. My pedicure looks great and the leg massage was fabulous. They were nice and professional and are clearly doing there best to follow Covid guild lines. Everything was clean and nice. read more

My main criticism is that it wasn't clean. I had the first appointment of the day & Could see nail dust & Clippings on the station & on the floor which is gross. Super obvious that they didn't wipe down the station , sweep or mop. Also worrisome especially during Covid. Will opt to go somewhere else that is cleaner. read more

My friend and I went in for full sets, both very different ideas and designs and they were both executed perfectly. Everyone who was working was super friendly and efficient. read more

We've (all the ladies in my family) have been patrons of Elite Nails since they first opened their doors. The staff is friendly and very efficient while providing quality nail services (I get both acrylic nails and gel polish). My nails are always gorgeous when I'm ready to walk out the door. The pricing is very comparable to other salons. Every now and again I splurge on a pedicure, when I do I always leave feeling relaxed and ready to flaunt my feet in new sandals. The spa massage chairs they have make the pedi twice as relaxing!! I highly recommend Elite Nails, I would also suggest calling ahead, they gave such a large clientele that there is usually a wait. read more

Pretty disappointed in Elite nails. I have been going there religiously for years but to them that doesn't matter when they do a less than exceptional job. My nails are uneven with my other hand, white spots on my nails, and so thick they look like fake nails. They said sometimes the dip color does that and this certain brand does it more than others. So, why use it in the first place? Or at least warn me instead of using a false sample. They offered for me to come back and have them fixed but I'd still have to choose the same color...so spend another hour of my time for it to happen again? I just spoke with the owner on the phone confirming an appointment to fix it, she denied they ever said that and I will have to pay another $50 for them to fix it. WHAT?!!Definitely won't be a paying customer there again. read more

Cute little nail salon tucked in an Avon Lake shopping mall. I went here for a gel manicure before I went on vacation a few weeks ago. They have a huge selection of gel polishes and I found almost an exact match for the color I already had on my toes. Score! The manicurist was super sweet and did a great job. My gel manicure still looked awesome after a week on the beach! I'll still go to Anthony Vince if I want the whole pampering experience, but Elite will work just fine when I need a quick, but good, manicure. read more

I get manis and pedis here on a regular basis for $40 plus tax. They do a good job on the pedis but two things annoy me: Often, when I want both services, they want to do the mani at the same time, which requires I reach one arm over my body to work on it. So much for relaxing in the chair! The other thing is the technicians think round = sharp and pointed. Twice, I made the mistake of saying "round". Even after I drew out what round looks like she still filed my nails to a point. Ask for square unles you want a dagger! Color typically lasts for about one week on my fingernails and about 1 month on my toe nails. I'm happy about that. Appointments are not necessary and they are open until 8:00 most nights. read more

This is not my usual place where i get my nails done but i needed something for homecoming. i have gotten acrylics done for about two years now. i immediately knew something was wrong when he mixed up the steps. he put on the wrong size tips for my nails and the acrylic work he did was very very messy. it was all over my fingers and hands. he got to filing by hand when he should have been using an electric file. he was still filing by the 1 hour and 30 minute mark and my nails were looking very messy. other workers were stopping by and looking at his work very judgmentally. my fingers were also bleeding at this point. i eventually had to be switched to another artist because it was now the 2 hour mark and there was no nail polish on my fingers. in the end my nails came out short and crooked. it was a couple days after my pinky nail fell off because it had an infection and most of my nail was gone. at check out the person could not figure out how much my total was so i was waiting for another 15 minutes. i will never show up to this salon again for a almost $60 set of nails and to have my nails treated like this. read more

I am so happy with how my nails turned out! (And toes). I just moved here from the south where SNS (dipping powder) is very popular. It is near impossible to find someone here who does them & a good job at that. I will definitely be back. read more

I came to get a mani and pedi and they did AWFUL. My toes were pruned, my nails were cut uneven and they looked worse then when I got in. My mani looked like something I could do at home instead of paying $35 dollars. I don't think I'll come back... ever. read more

I think CS had gone down a bit and rushing the services a lot. With that said I tried the one on Lear Rd ..not even close to the average of this one ...will not return. Elite will do ..hopefully they read these and the nail technicians respond with better service. read more

Not the cleanest but my nails turned out great! The technician was pleasant and was fast and officiant. Definitely a step above Luv"s. I got a uv gel mani and am very pleased. I would go back again. read more

The pedicure is still pretty good. I have no chips and no smudges...it actually still looks really good. The problem is the manicure. I had a chipped nail the day after. And now it's been under a week and the polish has been peeling from around all the edges. I guess I'm hard on my nails? Normally it's just that tips that chip. Anyways. I already had to repaint my nails :( read more

This place is great. They are extremely friendly and accommodating. My nails have never lasted this long! ( I got a gel nail put on with gel polish) will definitely be going back! read more

This was the absolute worst nail experience I have ever had! I am a stylist who not only does hair but also nails. I decided to treat myself to some pampering at a place closer to my home. I called for an appointment on 5/18 for a full set and a pedicure. They booked my appointment for 3:45pm (they close at 6pm). When I got there I asked if they had different types of pedicures they said they would get my soaking in the pedicure bowl and then bring me a list. I wanted to get the best pedicure they offered since I was treating myself. They never brought me a list. I asked the lady who started working on my feet and she never responded. She rushed through my pedicure. The entire pedicure was about 25 minutes. During my pedicure they asked me if someone could do my full set while I was sitting the pedicure chair because they close soon. It was 4pm at this point they didn't close for another 2 hours. I said sure. But no one ended up coming over. So pedicure is quickly over and I went to the nail station for my full set. I showed a picture of short coffin shaped nails. And wanted hot pink nails with glitter and designs (I specified over the phone that I wanted to get nail design). During the first half of my full set process the guy used scissors to cut down my tips which was fine until he tried to cut my finger almost all the way to my first knuckle. Broke the skin and then laughed about it. Sliced open my cuticles. And while applying the acrylic let it pour down my fingers and harden and left it. An hour in a girl came over and said she was taking over because they were closing soon. It was 5pm. They didn't close for another hour. My nails are all different shapes, lengths, gouges, the polish is lumpy, a small splash of silver glitter by my cuticle on one finger was considered nail design, and I have acrylic all over my cuticles. She acknowledged that my nails we're different shapes and sizes from the gentleman before her and her response was well ill fix it next time. (Next time? Do you think I'm coming back?) I also wanted the same color on my fingers and toes and they are two completely different colors of pink. After all of this... They then charged me $97 for a quickie pedicure and the worst full set I have ever seen in my life. Shame on them. I will be calling to speak with a manager tomorrow. Since no one was there to talk to when I was there. read more

Came here as part of a bridal party gathering. The man who did my manicure and pedicure hit on me repeatedly, despite receiving multiple rejections. It was not only disgustingly creepy but also incredibly unprofessional. This happened as two other employees sat just feet away and watched it happen. "Larry", or whatever your name is -- it's not okay to repeatedly ask someone for their marital status and phone number, even while rubbing their feet. That made it 100x weirder and I should have known you were creepy when you moved the pedicure chair way too close to your seat. I didn't ask for your marital status. I didn't need to know that you "don't do men, only do women". The bridal party surely didn't need to know your incredibly sad and sour thoughts on marriage either. This was such an uncomfortable experience, especially given this man acted this way in front of the two children in our party. I don't want to even think about how he acts in a non-professional setting. This was a super cringe-worthy and demoralizing experience, and for that reason I cannot recommend this place. I did not want to further sour the experience of the bridal party, but I sure as hell didn't ask to be borderline harassed by someone 30 years older then me who likely has a foot fetish. We gave you the guy many chances to politely change the topic and yet he still kept asking about my wedding and whether or not I had a boyfriend, when it wasn't even my bridal party. This guy clearly takes advantage of the language barrier and fact that he is providing a service, to then prey on women. And this establishment lets him get away with it while doing mediocre nails. They watched him ask for my phone number over 5 times while massaging higher and higher up on my legs. Just because I should have gotten up and left doesn't mean this is my problem to correct. This behavior is this establishment's problem to correct. read more

Awful, they never do my nails right. Even after specifically asking for easy glitter on my nails, they still messed it up. The shape was horribly done, they filled half of my side diagonal and the other half straight. The electric file kept going into my skin and making tiny cuts so when the acetone was poured onto my skin it hurt. the polish itself was chunky and old. do not recommend. read more

I used to go to the other location but only come here now...the staff are amazing but I have my favorites for certain things. I'm willing to try anyone for my pedicure but Cindy's mom is the best...as far as nails there are only 2 girls I'll see there and that I'm keeping a secret because it's already hard enough getting into them lol. read more

People are nice - but NO ventilation at all!!! There should be a law about requiring appropriate ventilation in these places for the benefit of clients and employees. Girl doing my nails said smell bothered her too - especially when they come into work in the morning. I had to ask for a mask - or otherwise I couldn't stay there. Male tech next to me laughed & woman client next to me rolled her eyes. I told her I'm NOT high maintenance but could not believe the toxic smell & no ventilation!!! Why did I stay? I desperately needed a manicure and leaving town early AM tomorrow for an event . I won't be back here. Enter at your own risk!!!! read more

This salon is very professional and they have a sign-in system that allow you to leave a feedback of the service you received. Great!

They do a good job and there prices are reasonable. My only complaint is if you make an appointment they don't always take you on time

Clean, efficient, good color section and friendly staff. Never had a gel manicure before and they talked me into it - it looks fantastic. I always appreciate a manicurist who is a perfectionist! I'll definitely come back here. read more

Newly remodeled. Very beautiful inside. Always easy to get an appointment here and I always call ahead to avoid the wait. Convenient nail salon in Avon Lake. Kevin does a great job with Shellac nails. read more

Nice local salon close to home. Clean salon, pleasant staff, relaxing atmosphere. Had a pedi and mani. Both were relaxing and well done.

My second time here. Had a regular mani/pedi with Emily and my nails couldn't look nicer.

I was looking for a new place to get my nails done and came across Elite. It was a Friday afternoon so it was busy which was fine. I got a gel manicure that was advertised at $23. The man who did my nails was really rough on my hands. He also put at least 3 coats of color on and 2 coats of top coat. When I went to check out he told me it was $32. I said I thought it was $23 and he told me that I picked a the more expensive shellac...news to me because I went to the rack they told me to. I wasn't happy. They've started to grown out after a week and they look horrible. The gel is starting to lift and you can see where he put way too much topcoat on. For $2 more, I will go back to Charles Scott and get a gel manicure that lasts me 3 weeks. Overall I was just really disappointed. read more

Got a gel manicure from Hipp. He did great. It lasted a good 20 days. I will be back. Can't wait to try the pedicures. read more

Super friendly, clean and reasonable. My 11 year old daughter and I stopped in for pedicures while visiting family. Highly recommended.

Terrible manicure experience Feb 2018. When I only wanted regular manicure (not gel) mani was rushed and done poorly. For the price polish lasted less than 24 hours. This happened to another friend as well. I will not go back. Overpriced and time/attention was not good at all. read more

I called with a question and to schedule an appointment. I needed to have a liquid gel manicure (Not powder or soak off gel) I was informed they could do it so made an appointment for the next day as I had broken a nail. When arriving, they said they misunderstood what I wanted. 3 ppl looked at my nails and decided they could do it. When filing my nail bed, they made it so thin it caused discomfort immediately. Within 2 days my nails started to split and tear. I have since had to cut all my nails off as they were splitting deeply into my nail bed. OUCH and what a waste of 35.00! Never again my friends! read more
