This place is great. The employees don't talk to each other during your service and are very professional. My pedicure turned out great! I was a walk in and they sat me down and got straight to work. Normally other nail salons would sit me in a chair and 30 minutes later they would get to me. Also, there are no TVs and only calming music and no children running around. I never get any time to myself as a mother of young children so i appreciate this. read more

I decided on a whim to get my nails done today. Since my normal salon is closed on Sundays, I found this place. I didn't make an appointment so I knew it could be iffy as to whether they could take me. They said they could do a pedi in about 30 minutes so I waited. The salon is very clean & has comfy pedi chairs. The nail tech did an excellent job. I was pleased with their selection of colors. I was a little disappointed they could not get me in for a mani but glad they had time for a pedi. I would definitely go back. read more

This salon has rave reviews on Facebook and shows the most gorgeous nail art photos. I was looking for a gel manicure with nail art and spoke to someone on the phone who booked my appointment. The nail tech I got seated with asked what design I wanted and quickly got into selecting the colors in my picture so I assumed I was in good hands. He was very gentle with removing my previous gel but ended up leaving patches of it all over my nails under the new gel base he applied. My nails look so lumpy and uneven. He was delicate with my cuticles but I was really put off by how dirty all of the tools in the salon were. They have no dust collectors or fans so the dust from the gel drilling was everywhere and it was evident it isn't cleaned very well in between clients because it was covering all of his drill bits and other tools and it was not the dust from our session. He took the nail clippers he used for me out of a sealed plastic bag so I think they were sterilized but they still had leftover polish on them from another client. For this being a newer salon I was really concerned with how dirty their materials and tools were. I am mostly happy with my nail art but I expected more from what I had seen from the Facebook photos the salon posted. Some of the lines are feathery, uneven, and one is even smudged. Seeing as each layer of art is cured prior to moving on, I'm really not sure why the artist didn't just remove it and re do it quickly before curing and moving on to the next detail. It just shows a lack of care and attention to detail. My last disappointment was that he didn't do any clean up before finishing and left some polish flooding in my cuticles as well as on my fingers. Due to the flooding of the polish on my cuticles I am a little worried about the longevity of this polish job. Maybe I would recommend this salon for a basic gel mani but the lack of cleanliness in the salon makes it difficult for me to say and feel comfortable trying again. read more

I was in the area with my boyfriend while getting his car serviced at BMW, so to pass time I decided to get a pedicure. Upon walking into the establishment I was not greeted by anyone, even though everyone including the customers turned their head to the door (immediate turn off and made me hesitant), so I turned to walk out. As I opened the door a male finally greets me & ask for my appointment time, I explained I'm not from the area just dropping in to get a pedicure so he told me to checkin & have a seat. The wait was not long about 7-10 minutes which is to be expected because I was a walk-in and literally every nail tech was busy with a customer. The lady that did my pedicure was nice and took her time while painting my nails as I was the only person getting a pedicure at the time, up until the end when more customers started to fill the chairs for pedicures. As the pedicurist was completing the job she had a lump of polish in one spot on my toe, so I asked her to fix it, which she let out a breath of annoyance and pulled out the file and filed the polish down then painted clear coat over it to match the rest of the toe. I could understand she was in a rush to get to the other customers, as I said the chairs were starting to fill up, and the spot appeared to be fine so I did not make a big deal and ask her to repaint the nail, like I thought she would. I paid and left satisfied. After getting in the shower when I returned home the same spot of polish has completely chipped off, I didn't hit my toe against anything or have anyone accidentally step on my foot, just used hot water to wash and the polish came off not even 24 hours later. This is disappointing and frustrating because as I said I do not live in the area so I'm not able to just go back and have it fixed quickly I will have to visit another nail shop and pay to have someone correct a job that could have been done correctly the first time. It's understandable being in a rush and trying to get to the next customer but a one time/first timer's experience is just as important as a returning customer as this will be my ONLY experience with you and it will leave a lasting impression. The 2 minutes it would've taken to fix the nail versus the $20 I will have to pay someone else to fix this on top of a already $70 pedicure could've made a world of difference. read more

Elite Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

they have great quality pricing and service. been a customer for over 4 years. very sanitary and lovely staff.

Prices should be advised up front. Not when finishing touches are being put on. Nail tech was rushing and not paying attention so she filed to much and it was painful. My nails were amazing but I was charged for the shape of the nail I got... read more

if you make an appointment be ready to still wait up to 30 40 minutes after your scheduled time this is the 2nd time this has happened to me. read more

I am so sad to be writing this review. I thought that Elite was the best nail salon in the area and I sang their praises to everyone who would listen. But since my interactions today I will not be back and neither will any of my friends or family (my mom and I go every 2 weeks alone). On August 15th 2024, I booked an appointment with Hannah for a full set for my wedding (booked it MONTHS in advance) and got the best set of nails I've ever had. They were $78 and I paid $120 (the rest was a tip due to the great service and skill). On Wednesday, September 4th 2024, my coworker and I went to get our nails done on lunch. ALL I needed was a fill at this point, the shape was perfect I just needed a cut down and polish change. The man doing my nails ABSOLUTELY ruined the shape of my nails (picture below of before and after). When he got to shaping my 2nd hand I just told him to stop and that I didn't like them and to just remove them, I did NOT get any polish applied. He got very upset with me and tried to prove that they would be the tapered square I asked for, and when I told him I still didn't like them after more shaping he got very rude. He just stuck my hands in acetone and left me there to soak. My fingers stayed soaking in the acetone for probably 20-25 minutes before the owner Timmy who was doing my coworkers nails realized what had happened. By time Timmy took a break from doing my coworkers nails my fingers/knuckles were cracked and bleeding. While Timmy was doing my removal I shared with him how upset I am that my full set I just paid for is ruined and I'm not able to just get a fill when I get them done again and will either have to pay for a full set of acrylic or dip which is more expensive than a fill. When checking out (I did not pay for the removal as it was their fault) and making my next appointment I was given a gift card and told that it would be very helpful for my next appointment due to what happened that visit. So today, Sunday September 8th, 2024, I had an appointment for 12:45 PM. They texted me at 12:21 PM asking to push my appointment back to 1:15PM (messages attached). I wanted to reschedule due to driving 40 minutes from Beaufort for this appointment but they assured me I would be seen at 1:00PM. I did NOT start getting my nails worked on until 1:26 PM today as they just left me sitting in the chair for 26 minutes. The woman who did my nails did do an amazing job and they look great. However when I went to check out I found out that they only put $10.00 on the gift card. If I would have known that I wouldn't have even wasted my time coming back to this salon. They ruined my nails that I could've gotten done for the price of the fill multiple times (as I could've kept them on for at least 2 more months) and continued to still make me pay full price for a set of dip when it was their employees fault I no longer have a full set of acrylics on. I left the salon in tears and when I called back all the owner Timmy had to say was that they didn't have to give me anything and that they could've charged me for the removal on Wednesday. I will never be back, which is unfortunate due to we loved this salon, but the customer service I received today speaks volumes. read more

Top notch service! Been coming here a little over a year and have had multiples techs do my long acrylics & had never left unsatisfied!

New to the area from Austin Texas on Dec 23rd I 1st call to find out what time they close they advised me 3 PM I get there 11 minutes until 2 pm & I explain I just had gell nails put on 1 week ago, for the 1st time in over 20 years last week I want a Polish change I took the Polish off myself I'm a certified nail technician II am a nurse as well so that supersedes nail technician however I'm very good at taking care of my nails. Long story short you guys he discriminated against me because they didn't have my nails done by them. He refused to help me and told me That what I wanted is NOT going to look good because of the edges???? And that I had to go somewhere else . WTF? Amazing customer service for a 4.7 salon. There's nothing worse than a business that's not professional- SUB PAR at best. So I did just that & went to a professional nail salon immediately after and got exactly what I asked for. Merry Christmas read more

Hannah is great amazing nails!!! Whenever I need a design done I always book her. Her artwork on nails is beyond beautiful.

Ok I literally never leave reviews on anything but I I literally had such a bad experience that I hope I can help someone out from saving there time. First off I never get my nails done to begin with and I wanted to have a relaxing self pampering day for myself. I looked up nail salons and this salon came up super recommended with great reviews. There art work based off their insta. is gorgeous too so it was a no brained to come here. The nail tech who I have no idea who was, because she didn't even introduce herself. She told me to sit and asked me what I wanted. I got a basic French acrylic set literally the most classic short, square cut set. Nothing too crazy. Mind you I had an appointment made so this wasn't a walk in and they were not slammed at the time I went. She barley spoke to me. I literally told her I can't have my nails too long and she literally seemed annoyed that I kept having her cut them shorter. Anyways, she literally clipped my nails, glued the acrylic on, drilled, buffered and put the polish on my nails. That was it. She didn't rub or massage my hands. She also cut three of my cuticles leaving me to bleed. I literally still had polish on some of my fingers when I left. My cuticle is still so sensitive and still bleeding. The acrylic is also super thick because she was rushing so much for no reason. It felt like the most rushed and messiest nail job I ever have experienced. Again, I hate writing bad reviews but I really hope someone rethinks about going to this salon. I know from my experience, I will never be coming back here again. read more
