    Peeling gel immediately after manicure

    WORST EXPERIENCE by far visiting a nail salon. Pedicure lasted all of 10 mins and my gel manicure started peeling before I even paid. When I asked for shorter nails, the tech said they were short enough. ‍ Save your money..... I could have blindfolded myself and gave a better manicure. THEY RUSH THROUGH and happy to charge and ask for tip.

    The grouchiest couple running this business. Very rude. The nails she did on me was the ugliest french tips ive ever had done. I would never ever go back to this place. Save yourself from the ridiculous price and the worst service. I

    Was on vacation with family on the OBX for the first time this past week. Had a nail emergency and figured with all the great reviews I would give this place a try. The tech I saw filed so hard he sliced my finger under the nail, replaced a broken acrylic nail extremely crooked and didn't take the time to clean up polish on cuticles. I was very happy with the cleanliness of the salon and the customer service, just felt the skill level was lacking.

    Do you see my cuticles? The misshapen toenail edges? The clumped up paint? That's a $27 - 5 minute pedicure. I would have done a better job at home. I live in NYC and a $27 pedicure is 10x better than this - it is a racket! I had to ask her to clean under my nails, file my nails, cut the cuticles, yes...you read that right. I had to ASK her. If I hadn't, it would have been a 3 minute pedicure. And she was so ANGRY when I asked her to do those things. if you want your day ruined, get your pedicure here. If you want to give $27 to someone you like, have your 6 yr old niece give you a pedicure. She would 100% do a better job than the angry and rude people at this place.

    Full Set (P & W)

    Came in for a full set. It started off great but when they went to do the designs on my nails, it was sloppy and quick. Very little attention to designs and I would not recommend anyone looking for anything artistic to come here. It was extremely overpriced for the quality. Two of my nails were crooked and the cuticle area was messy. I paid $150 including tip.

    After calling and being told a full set replacement was 25, I arrive and see clearly it's 40 +$5 removal fee. It's been about 5 hours and my nails are sore! Cuticle/finger cut on several fingers. After leaving and looking more closely I have these grievances with my nails themselves. 1. They are not all the same length 2. They are all slanted different directions 3. They are really thin 4. Under the nail is a layer of acrylic They are rounded nicely around 9 of my 10 nail beds, but 5. Nail beds are tender from bleeding 6. My fingers actually hurt! I won't be going back. How ever if they still feel this way in a couple days... I'm going back and demanding they do something!

    Literally the worst pedicure I've had in my life. I've been to their other salon up the road and had a good experience so this is not what I was expecting today. I was in the chair for 15 minutes... it's like she was rushing through it as fast as she could. 15 minutes, really?! With no one waiting? And as fast as it was, you can imagine the lack of quality. Nails trimmed too short and unevenly, had to ask to wipe excess paint from all over my skin. Even when I asked to fix throughout and mentioned how horrible this experience was, the owner had nothing to say. Go anywhere else but here if you want a relaxing, quality pedicure. A 5 year old painting nails in play time could do a better job.

    The tips of the nails are very uneven

    DO NOT GO HERE! This will be a long one due to a terrible experience. I came to OBX with my boyfriends family and decided to get my nails done because they looked atrocious to say the least. Elite nails was probably the absolute worst salon I could have chosen to receive a good full acrylic gel set. I typically don't get my nails done at salons for these reasons but figured what the heck, I'm on vaca. Well from the start their list of prices say that a full set with gel is 50+. I understand that the price can be a little more expensive due to longer length, designs, etc. At the end I was charged 65. They said that the tip that they have to glue on for the acrylic was $5, which any reasonable person would have thought it was included with the acrylic application. At least at every other salon I've been to it is. They charged me 5 more dollars because I asked for a coffin shape, again at every other salon you were able to get whatever shape for no additional charge. Especially for a coffin shape considering they have to cut off product instead of add more. They also charged me 5 dollars because I got "long nails." I do not get long nails because I cannot work with long nails. The nails I received are a little over short and just short of a medium. The overpricing was completely infuriating because I should not have been charged for certain step of the process that should have been included in the starting price. If they legitimately charge for some of these things then the extra charges should be stated on their pamphlet and website. And of course it does not stop there. They did a terrible job on the acrylic and gel itself. The acrylic nor the gel come up to my cuticles, instead it looks like it has grown out for a week when in reality I got them done the day before yesterday. Speaking about the cuticles, they did not clean them up, trim, or push them back. Just left them looking terrible. When they went to put on the gel, it was a very half fast job. The gel at the top of the nails looks very clumpy and not smooth. At the sides you can see how when the second coat was put on they didn't go over the first coat so it looks layered and not neatly done. They also didn't paint the tips on the nails, which should be a given. If I would have asked them to paint the tip it probably would have been another ridiculous 5 dollar charge. I also asked the lady to file one nail down a little bit more on the top of the acrylic because it was uneven and instead of actually fixing it she turned to her co worker and started trash talking me in her language. After the cured the glossy coat I can see very visible bumps in the gel, wether it be from dust or air bubbles. All of the nails are uneven and poorly done. Save yourself the time and the money and go somewhere else.
