My first pedicure at this pleasant and friendly nail salon was wonderful. I have sensitive feet and usually feel like I've been pounded on for an hour and my feet are sore for days. Not today. My technician really understood my wishes and I've never had a more perfect pedicure. This is a peaceful and relaxing salon and the staff is kind and considerate. I highly recommend Elite Nails. read more

I got a basic manicure cause my nails needed some pampering and I was excited to try a new nail shop. They were very courteous and right on time when I came in for my appointment. They also take walk ins. They did a great job and I got a very light color since I know that non gel polish doesn't last long. My only concern was that their pricing on their website is incorrect. Basic manicure on their website says $22 when I was charged $25. I even asked if it would be cheaper if I paid with cash. No difference they stated. Other than that, they are very popular and have regular clientele. read more

Have tried many nail salons in the area and I have absolutely no complaints with this one. Clean stations, pleasant personnel, comfortable seats for pedicures. Very professional and did a fantastic job on all 3 of us. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends. read more

Went for a manicure and pedicure for my 1st time since I'm from out of town. First was the gel pedi. Then the manicure which was fine. Got home and my French pedi had already chipped off. When I looked closer he had done my left foot which was fine but the right one he hadn't sealed. This was for my wedding the next day and didn't have time to get it corrected. read more

I started my visit with the basic pedicure with gel polish. I arrived 15 minutes early and welcomed politely and immediately. Since covid, customers first step is to wash hands. While my pedicure bath was filling, the staff offered me a beverage. The massage chair is so relaxing, and the water temperature is so perfect. The highlight of the pedicure is the AMAZING massage given by Pam thung, which is the best one I have ever received. She took her time, and it was definitely relaxing. The massage was followed by warm wet towels placed around my calves. After my pedicure, I got acrylics with gel polish. Vy did my nails, and she always impresses me with her talent. She is very precise, and I always leave feeling confident. read more

I had a mani and pedi with my sisters here. For my mani, the manicurist spent over two hours on it. The staff were very nice but the manicurist was not as efficient and I ended up leaving the store after 8pm. I wished the manicurist would have mentioned that they did not know how to do the design and I would have picked something easier. However, the pedi was phenomenal. I had one of the best foot massage. read more

I called at the last minute for a same day pedicure. The receptionist said they were all booked for the day. I exclaimed that i have a wedding to go to later today and i need to look good!!! I left my number in case someone canceled. I got lucky. Someone Did cancel and Elite Nails & Spa actually took the time to call me asking me if i like the slot. I took it like a fat kid taking cake. We showed up and the receptionist very politely said "um, we only have one slot so who's going?" I laughed and said i called for my significant other and She's the one that needs the pedicure. A hour later i picked up my girl and asked her about Elite, she was very happy with the service and staff. She also made the comment she would return if we lived here. I never had a pedi so i can't even pretend that i know what to say. I will note the place looked clean and the entire staff was friendly.... and of course, my girl's feet looked ready to go to a wedding with her toenails didd. read more

This was my second time at elite nails + salon. They are very gentle when using the equipment. This is big for me me because both my sister and i have very sensitive nail beds. It took around 2 hours for our dip nails, which we did the first time we went. and 2.5 hours for my sisters full set the second time we went. Mine took around 2 hours. They are very sociable and the front desk lady, Macy i believe her name is, is very nice. read more

I was in town visiting family and we wanted to get our toes done. Did I mention there was 5 of us? Well I called all over and no one could take 5 on a Sunday morning. They opened an hour early to accommodate us and they did an excellent job. Tina mentioned that they are down to 5 technicians from 9, but she said they don't rush to get more people in. read more

Took my daughter in law there for her bday. She is 8.5 months pregnant. Ken and Tina were so kind. Just a great experience .

Absolutely the best nail salon!! Yung gave me a French gel manicure. Best I've ever had! My last two salons said my nails needed to be cut down and apply acrylic nails in order to achieve French nails. Yung said, "Let me look. I have a lot of experience." Sure enough she was able to do just what I wanted. This salon is FRIENDLY and FABULOUS!!! I cannot recommend it highly enough! read more

Elite Nails + Spa - Beautifully done French Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I went for a gel mani and pedi on a Sunday morning. First impression: clean environment and friendly staff. I was greeted upon arrival and was asked to wash my hands before getting started. Mask required in salon. Great selection of colors and I was in and out within an hour. I'm only giving 4/5 stars because the callous scrub was so-so and I didn't get a hand or foot massage. They have a designated staff member scheduling appointments and were upfront about availability. Overall, I'm happy with the service and would go back. read more

My friend got her nails done and the lady kept tugging on her arm during the process, my friend wanted French tips but she painted her whole hand red. at the end she smudged one of her nails and didn't fix it. On the other hand I got really good French tips! I was really upset when I brought $60 thinking it would only cost like $40 or maybe $50 at the most but it cost $67 plus tip. I wanted a silver line under my red French tip and they told me the reason it cost so much was because of that tiny little silver line (that cost $12 more dollars). It wasn't even a cm long! I have gone here once before and I only got nail polish and it cost $22 which seemed okay. I thought if I got these super short acrylics it would only cost like $40 I will not be here again! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The pedicure was rushed. Both mani pedi was horrible - uneven, rough, bumpy, and spotty. Both had incomplete uneven polish. I still had old nail polish at the edge that she didn't even care to remove or even cover! I don't understand why this place has such high ratings. There must be an inequality to how they treat their customers, as regulars or if they have the potential to be a repeat customer, as I was from out of state. I guess you should always just say you are from the area. There was a sure difference on how they treated other persons of color while I was there. I would steer clear of here and go to a more professional establishment. read more

This is the best nail salon in the area! Everyone there is always very kind and wonderful at making sure you like what you get done! Thy did an amazing job replicating something I found on Pinterest, all of my friends are in love with her work too! read more

This is my second review I have written for Elite. I have a bad experiencea year ago. I have given them another chance over and over again. But I am done WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. Several rude employees that have argued with me on how I wanted my nails. I have gone to cosmetology school for nails so I DO KNOW how it's supposed to be done CORRECTLY. This last time was the deal breaker. After being very aggravated because of fighting with the employee. Just to have her using the nail dremel to grind down my cuticles which is not supposed to happen. The CORRECT way to remove cuticle is to use cuticle oil and then trim them. Because she had grinded them she had cut my skin above my nails and now over a week later they are finally getting scabs over them. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THAT PLACE AND EITHER SHOULD YOU. read more

Amazing nail salon!! I have been going here for two years and always receive incredible service!

The pedicure I had today was amazing! It was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep! I picked the more expensive one but it was worth it. Pam did my pedicure and it was the best!! read more

First off, I've never had nothing but positive things to say about their employees and services provided. What really gets me upset and frustrated is that you make an appointment in advance only to show up at said appointment and to be asked to wait/come back at a later time because they are behind, etc. Last week I made an appointment to get a manicure today. Walking in a saw a friend who had been sitting and waiting for her 4:30 appointment. A mother and daughter waiting on their 4:45 appointment and a couple waiting on their 5pm appointment, 3 ladies for a 5:15 appointment. My friend finally got placed in a foot bath (not sure how long she'll be sitting there). The couple cancelled and left (I believe the woman rescheduled) the mother and daughter continued to wait. The ladies were asked to come wait/come back at 6pm, they were visibly upset, and couldnt do 6pm (they rescheduled for tomorrow). What's the point in making an appointment if they cant honor them? I get running a few minutes behind but 45+ minutes is unacceptable. They have to figure out a better way to deal with walk ins and still honor appointment or I don't think they will keep their 'regulars' or have return customers. read more

Everyone here is so nice! They do such a great job. Especially with my daughters. The place is always clean.

Today was my first visit to Elite Nails and I had a wonderful experience. They are doing really well with COVID and have a safeguards in place. I got a mani pedi and I had the most relaxing massage ever and almost fell asleep. The owners daughter did my nails and painted my toe nails and she was so very nice. I will for sure be a repeat customer. Oh and they are open everyday! read more

I've been going to Elite Nails for 2 yrs.& I have NO complaints. Recently, my daughter was in town & decided she wanted a pedi while @ Maplewood Mall. I needed a fill, so I thought that I'd have it there, but only for this time.. Disaster! I went to Elite asap & Tram re-did them. Now I'm happy again. I learned my lesson. Tram is my girl, but don't go see her. I want her available to do MY nails! read more

After having a first bad impression I went back and I'm GLAD I did. This is my mother in laws favorite ail shop so I knew it couldn't be all bad. Their store is always clean and the staff always attend to the customers promptly. I had tram, the acrylic specialist. She kept making sure what she did was what I imagined. She was gentle and personable. Thank you ladies for making my nails so beautiful! I can't wait to rock them to my wedding this weekend! read more

I have been a client of Elite Nails for 3 years. The staff are all friendly and very capable. The shop is very clean, and tools are sterilized between clients. The pedi spas are jetted but pipeless, and a new liner is used for each client!! No need to worry about catching someone else's foot fungus!! The ventilation system removes all chemical odors from the shop. I have had pedicures, gel nails, acrylic nails, and powder dip nails, and been very happy with the results!! Today I requested a specific holiday look and showed my nail tech Vivi a photo of what I wanted. I am posting a photo below: read more

Ok I am super angry and super annoyed. I am at my nail appointment last week. The owner stops working on me to start doing another employees nails. That is NOT ok. Without customers you don't have a business. My preference is Sat morning appointments. I get there and NOBODY is even there for 45mins. Unacceptable read more

I came in for a walk in pedicure. Yes, I am a guy. They treated me very well. Pam did my pedicure. She was very nice and asked how I was doing and made sure the experience was done well. The massage chair was nice too. They have you wash your hands and water a mask for Covid precautions which was nice to see. I'd give this place a 10 of 10 of I could. read more

First salon I've ever gone back to! It's a huge hit amongst my girlfriends and myself and for good reason! They are so friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about your satisfaction. The first time we were there, we went before a wedding and they had remembered us the second time and asked about how it went! It was really sweet of them and added a great personal touch. I've only gotten pedicures myself and they always turn out great and always last so long. My girlfriends have gotten manis done once before and I couldn't stop staring. They were so well done. Coming all the way from Minneapolis should tell you how much I enjoy their service! read more

I moved from LA a few months back. I was used to going to the same place to people that new me to not having any idea where to get my nails done! I wanted to make sure wherever I went they'd personable and able to do some simple deigns! When I came here I instantly loved the environment, very clean & modern! Vivi & tommy welcomed me with big smiles. I had Vivi the first time with a simple half moon design, I loved the outcome! We bonded over food & restaurants. They suggested a pho place that's now my favorite spot around town! Great people and great work! read more

I had a second mani here and the service was even better than last time. I witnessed the warmest welcoming of a long time customer that made everyone smile due to the genuine show of fondness between the customer and employee I have ever seen. You can't fake stuff like that! It just keeps getting better here. This new business is worth the support of it's local neighborhood.

Great service! Went here with my fiancé the day before we left for our elopement wedding. Had super relaxing pedis and manis. A great way to start our special vacation. The next day I had a few chips in my nails. We stopped back in and the owner fixed me up. He went above and beyond to make sure my nails were what I wanted and would last me through my Mexico vacation. I just bought a house in this area and definitely will be back to get more service. read more

After reading the reviews I made an appointment with VIVI and went for a full set acrylic and gel polish. ABSOLUTELY love her. This place is very well kept, professional staff. Welcoming and understand what you want. They will also make suggestions to save you money. Good humor staff as well. I'm looking forward to being a return customer. They are very sanitary to the book. You can even take home your buffer after they use them on your hands or toes if you have a pedi. Love that and they are so cute they are minis. I could ramble on and on. But I would highly recommend. read more
