Elite Nails - Nails by Kim. 3 - Nail Salons Near Me - Woodland, California

I paid $70 for a pedicure on Super Bowl weekend and left extremely disappointed. The quality was unacceptable--my acrylic big toes literally looked like a 5-year-old did them. The shape was uneven, the gel finish was sloppy, and it looked rushed and careless overall. For that price, I expected professional work, not something I'd need to fix or redo elsewhere. Definitely not worth the money. read more

I have been a loyal customer of this salon for well over 20 years. I have always tried to be generous, understanding, and respectful of the technicians' time, energy, and work. I consistently tip well -- usually anywhere from $7 to $20 depending on services and timing -- because I understand how demanding the industry can be. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, my experience this past Friday left me feeling very disappointed and taken advantage of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I received a fill and only had my toenails polished -- not a pedicure -- and was charged $100. On top of that, I still gave a $20 tip because the salon was getting busy and I wanted to remain considerate. However, the quality of the work did not reflect the price charged. There was visible gem glue left all over my nails, and the overall finish was not at the standard I would expect for that cost. My toenail polish application was also very messy, uneven, and below the level of quality I would reasonably expect for the amount charged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For reference, I only had small gems placed on one accent nail on each hand and pre-made flower decorations on two nails per hand. I also requested a simple red undercoat inside the nail set and was told no for reasons unknown to me. There was no clear explanation provided.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What has become increasingly frustrating over the last 6 months is the inconsistency in both pricing and service quality. I have been charged consistently around $100 in the past for an entirely new set with toe polish included (not a pedicure), and I feel that is fair considering the labor and time involved. However, this visit was only a fill with simple toe polish, yet I was charged the same amount despite the lower level of service and significantly lower quality of work. Other recent visits for similar services have ranged from: * $50 for a fill * $60 for a fill * $65 for a fill with gems * $65 for a fill and toe polish Then suddenly this visit was $100 for essentially the same level of service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At this point, the inconsistency makes it difficult to feel comfortable or confident returning because I never know what I will be charged. More importantly, I no longer feel valued as a long-time customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The main reason I have continued coming back is because of Theresa, who has always been warm, professional, and consistently excellent at what she does. There is also Helan, who does both lashes and nails, whose work is consistently very good as well. Additionally, the technician who is missing a fingernail has also always been consistent with her work and professionalism. These are clearly the technicians customers try to book with regularly, and they are often fully booked. Unfortunately, outside of those few individuals, the quality has become extremely inconsistent and, at times, feels rushed, amateur, and below professional standards. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also cannot ignore the feeling that my loyalty, kindness, and generosity were knowingly taken advantage of in this situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am known for tipping well, being patient, and trying to be understanding, even during busy times. Over time, there have been small upcharges here and there that I chose to overlook because I valued the relationship and wanted to continue supporting the salon. However, this time it felt taken far beyond reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work I received. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What makes this especially upsetting is that I genuinely did not want to have to write a review like this after over 20 years. I feel sad, disappointed, and honestly somewhat betrayed as a long-time loyal customer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have given many chances over the years hoping the inconsistency and declining standards would improve, but instead it has progressively become worse. At this point, I simply cannot continue accepting the disappointment and feeling that my loyalty is only valued when it benefits others financially. I do not mind paying for quality work, and I believe technicians deserve to be compensated fairly. But customers also deserve consistency, transparency, accountability, and work that matches the price being charged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, after this experience, I do not feel comfortable returning or continuing to give my loyalty to a business when I no longer feel respected or valued in return.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Long story short...(not really) [[HIGHLIGHT]]last time I went to Elite I had the guy who works there give me a full set with an almost nude color. When I asked for a pink French tip he LAUGHED and said "Why?!!" I was so embarrassed that I just said "Oh. Ok."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also got my eyebrows done that day and when I was handed the mirror I seen one side which looked good, arched. When I looked at both in my visor mirror the one I didn't see was scalped!! It was not the same at all as the other side!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Today I anxiously gave them another chance and asked for a mani/pedi with dip powder with one toenail needing a repair and the older lady who works there said "Ok" and pointed me to the pedicure chair[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She asked "Do you want gel?" I said "No. I want dip powder." She said "No.No. That take too long to dry! You want gel!" I again said "Oh."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When she asked about my nails I up my hands and said "I can get gel on my hands right?!" She said "Yeah." I didn't know what the process was for doing dip powder so I trust that this was the process for doing what she agreed I was getting. She pulled out the acr tips and I said "No. I want it on my natural nails!" She was taken a back and repeated what I said, then mumbled as she walked off. She put gel on my fingers!!! I didn't not in any form, at any time get the services that I asked for. She did what she wanted and made me feel bad. This was not the pampered me experience that everyone expects. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The person I am, I did not complain, I even gave them all a tip! I just was quiet and subdued and just quietly decided I just wouldn't come back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I only today seen their super low reviews!! Lesson learned! read more

Had all latest colors polish. clean listened to what I wanted. Did excellent work.Teresa took time to make sure as always my services were done great thank you place was clean didn't have to wait read more

I went in for a full set and pedicure. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They accommodated me by doing both.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They didn't give me any type of pedicure options, but kept adding services on without telling me any price even after I asked. I got nicked a few times on my cuticles of my toes. The full set is still bumpy after all the filing it's already lifting at the cuticles. She packed it too much and didn't move it out so it's already catching my hair. I got it done 24 hours ago. On my pointer finger she left the cuticle in the triangle shape and it cut me when she tried to file it down. I did ask her to stop but she kept going and now I wasted $110 on ugly nails at an unhygienic spot. read more

This establishment has successfully given me the worst manicure of my life, and i have had a few botched sessions in my past. After sitting for almost two hours for a FILL, the woman removed every nail I had on prior using a painful scraper, making me bleed in several areas, pried off nails that were not at all close to falling off, and left bits and pieces of the old nails to use as her base for the new nails. NONE of the nails are the same size, and the only thing i asked for when coming in was uniformity and SQUARE nails. I am not sure what the shape so ended up with is, but as you can see in the pictures the nail polish is applied in large amounts causing surface bubbles, yet she only applied one coat so the entire set is see through to my real nails. After all of this, they charged me $45 dollars. I wish i had waited one more day and gone to my usual establishment because I would've left with a set that i was happy with for half the price. Instead I left Elite Nails in tears, fuming. Do not waste any time patronizing this business. read more

Why would you go anywhere else. Friendly people, great hours. I have had several pedicures done and very satisfied. I decided to get my nails done and I was not disappointed read more

Elite Nails - Love them - Nail Salons Near Me - Woodland, California

Called to make an appointment for me and my daughter in law and when we got there the door was locked and paper on the windows so you couldn't see in. We called since we had appointments and there was another lady outside stating she had an appointment as well... It was obvious they were working on the "down low", maybe due to COVID rules.‍ All the other shops we called said they couldn't do pedicures right now. We sat down and they started on our pedicures but I was never given a choice of what "type" of pedi I wanted, only polish choice. When I got my bill for two pedicures, it was $95. I about fell off my chair! I've had some pretty amazing pedicures, I get them often. I've never, ever paid more than 35$. I figured they needed the money so I added tip on top of that. I wouldn't dream of spending almost $50 for a pedi in a place like this EVER. I should always trust the stars on Yelp, my bad! read more

Now i remember why I stopped coming here, the nails look "better" from what they originally did, i went back and show them how bad they look. Super thick crooked different shapes and just all terrible, now going to another place to get them fix, save your time and go somewhere else, Helen did a TERRIBLE job in such a hurry too, i don't mind waiting or taking a little extra time for something better than this. read more

I decided to get my lashes done here for my birthday trip spur of the moment. I am giving two stars because they did accommodate me last minute and initially they looked pretty. They began falling off after a couple days and after a week they were half gone. I asked beforehand if they were cluster or individual lashes and was told the latter. $80 is a great deal for individuals that last three weeks as I was told they were, BUT clusters that last a week should not cost that much! I called to see how they would rectify the situation and was told it was my fault for not taking care of them properly. I am a licensed esthetician and that is definitely not the case. I asked for a partial refund and for the remaining few lashes left to be removed by them and they refused to do anything. She actually told me they would charge me $15 just to remove them! read more

My husband made me an appointment as a surprise so I decided to give them a try. As soon as I walked in I wasn't given any time to make my selection of glitter powder. She offered me a choice of six which was my first hint of something wasn't right. I chose one and wasn't even asked what shape I wanted. Bad feeling number two. As she applied the tips, four of them were glued on crooked. I pointed it out and she said i still need to shape them. At this point, I already knew what I was in store for. Now I'm stuck with uneven cockeyed nails. This place is 86ed in my future. read more

Went in for a cute almond full set & walked out with ugly blobs on my nails. They're lumpy & shape doesn't match any of my nails. I don't know the name of the man that did my nails but he was sloppy & kept hurting me with the files as well as his own nails. This is definitely not worth $45 read more

I wanted to update my previous review and give 5 stars to Elite. Unfortunately, I'm dropping 4 stars down to 3. I had a pedi/mani done today. The tech raced through everything, so not only couldn't I relax, but she wasn't doing her job well. Dropping stuff on the floor and picking it up to re-use, not taking any time to be the least bit sociable. Nothing special about either service - and I was charged more than I have EVER paid for a mani/pedi anywhere. Yikes!! It seemed fairly clear to me that clients were being charged for reasons other than set prices. The most annoying thing is that when I got home I noticed that the gel polish on one of my toes is messed up...the result of the tech rushing and skipping steps. If I return to Elite again I will ask for the tech who doesn't speak much English (wish I knew her name). She was the tech who gave me the really great pedi (original review). read more

DO NOT COME HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND ALOT OF MONEY FOR LOW QUALITY NAILS!! I got a pedicure and a fill with gel and my nails are very short. it cost $80. The fill was half assed. The lady did not put enough acrylic on it and my nail was able to bend. The pedicure was ok but for the price I didn't get a foot/leg scrub at all. He just did the polish and a "massage". Two ladies did my nails while I got the pedicure and one of them did a sloppy polish job and it was wayyy to thick and the polish was uneven. Then I had to go home and clean the polish off of my cuticles myself. Both of my hands do not look like the same color at all!! The bendy nail cracked not even 3 days later. Then to top it all off I tipped $5 to the lady because that's all I thought the quality of the nails were worth and she complained about it. For $80 plus a $5 tip, I would've expected more tbh. I've been here before with no issues and I definitely will not be back. read more

Just had the worst experience at elite nails. They charged me 90$ for a fill on a basic pedicure and a very small fill on less than a week old nails. They had no prices posted. I stupidly paid it before I asked for the page of prices after paying. When I asked for it they walked away and thought I forgot, I seen the owner grab a sheet from one of the stations and try to write something over it. I walked over and asked if those were the prices, she said no, the prices aren't posted because they're remodeling. I was there a week ago.. they lady then took that sheet to the back. I looked over at were she grabbed it from, and they had another laying there, I asked another lady to hand it to me and she did. The prices were way off. The owners husband approached me and said those prices were "2yrs old" hmmm so these were just on a the sales floor, underneath no clutter at all. I will leave a picture of one side for reference. But tbh I'm loosing my trust in any of these salons in woodland. read more

I came with a friend for an eyebrow wax, & this is the first thing we seen as we were told to go in the back and wait 10mins for someone to even get to us. Very gross and NOT CLEAN.

I'm fairly new to Woodland and was looking for a nail salon in town Elite Nails is down the street from my home so I thought I'd give him a try. I should have been suspicious when there was no wait time. I was immediately seated and as I was trying to explain how I want my nails done I was cut short and basically just said okay and got something I really didn't even want it must have been because they couldn't do what I wanted and didn't want to tell me the man was kind of rough grabbing my hand and pulling it from side to side but again I thought well maybe that's just his style I paid more than I've ever paid to have them done before then again I thought well it's worth it's right down the street and it was in a timely manner I get home as I'm looking I'm noticing that they're pitted the Polish isn't even all the way to the nail bed they're rough on the bottom to where a kid scratch you and again I thought well lesson learned I just won't go back the next day my gel nail broke three of them I've never had gel nails break before so today I went back in and decided I should get what I paid for show the my nail and ask them to fix it again I was quickly set in the sea another nail technician I guess we'll call them comes over sets me at a table and proceeded to tell me how much is going to be to have my nails fixed I said wait a minute you're going to charge me to fix the nails I just had them done 2 days you broke them explaned I've never broken in gel nail before and she said no you broke it and you should not use gel I'll use powder at that point I excused myself again take it for a loss and ran out that door if I was you I wouldn't set foot in there I never will again read more

I went to get a pedicure and and noticed that they don't use sterile tools. The clippers were rusty. And when I was getting my eyebrows and lip waxed the lady was on her speaker phone yelling. Then hung up and dialed someone else as she put her phone right next to my ear. I will NEVER go BACK. Very unprofessional. read more

I came in and specified I wanted a nail REMOVAL. The business owners/employees kept offering me additional services and I kept politely declining. I only wanted my nails removed, I didn't even care if they filed them, cut them or anything I just wanted my nails OFF. Anyway, they proceed by saying no it's ok we can make them even and during the whole interaction I kept saying I only wanted my nails removed this is okay, and as I'm walking out the door they charge me 30 dollars for a service that was 10 dollars. I told her I said I only wanted my nails removed and she said "no you got a manicure" and I said well ok if I got a manicure I might as well add a color and she said "5 more dollars, only clear". I have never been up charged like this in my life, I was just very disturbed by their intentions and lack of integrity. Keep your 30 dollars lol. read more

Elite Nails - Lol they didn't even leave them nicely afterward. - Nail Salons Near Me - Woodland, California

Messy. Hot. Cluttered place. The woman who did my nails took FOREVER! She was beyond slow. I almost thought it was a joke. I came in for a fill and needed to add a tip to 2 of my nails. She put on extremely small tips. But I gave her the benefit of the doubt thinking they will look larger once she applies the acrylic. I was wrong to think that because they in fact did not! But since she was taking extremely long I just wanted to get them done and be on my way, so I let her finish.Come time to paint the polish a little fuzz kept getting on my thumb nails. She would wipe them off with a tissue that would only then add more fuzz to my nails.. so as you can see where I'm going with this. She did this 4 or 5 times to each of my thumbs. At this point I tell her I do not like where this is going and how they are looking. I'm willing to pay half price and just let me leave the way they are, not even painted completely. I said this is taking too long I don't have the time to continue to sit here and do this over and over again. She looks at me and continues to do what she's doing. At this point I'm just glad that she finishes up and I can pay and be on my way I ask her how much and she tells me $50!!!!! I said $50 for a fill and she writes down 50 and says yes I told her that is ridiculous price for a fill I've never paid $50 for a fill on my nails that I get that are basic acrylic nails with a gel polish. But again I'm in a hurry and have been there far too long and I just wanna get out of there. So I gave her my card, she again takes forever to go and process my payment she comes back and it says $51! I said so now it's 51 and not 50 and she says yeah and I said you never explain anything about a C for running my car there's no signs or anything and again I still want to get out of there so I said you know what I'm not signing shit, I'm not waiting for you to find a pen. I realize the owner made eye contact with me and I asked her if she could please come outside so I could speak to her so I wasn't arguing in front of the rest of the customers in her shop. I explain to her what had happened and she failed to even attempt to correct the situation. She was more worried about my signature than correcting their MULTIPLE errors. I said you can sign my receipt, it's already paid for & do what you wish with it and left. I've gone to this establishment multiple times Only when my regular nail tech is unavailable and this establishment continuously practices horrible customer service and produces mediocre quality Services. I will now be going to my proper nail tech and have him fix the many mistakes this woman did read more

This place is so ghetto no matter how much of new chairs they get. The workers seem lazy and dislike coming there to work. Maybe get some new, fresh worker's. I understand people get tired, but first thing in the morning....NAH! Also....be VERY SPECIFIC about the design your requesting. The worker with long hair and glasses does what she wants and bad at waxing eyebrows. I don't have a problem with tipping, but only when it's QUALITY WORK! I would request the young gentleman that works there. He does good work. Rest of them rush through the job. But I'm spending my hard earned money to get a good work. Will be in search for a good, quality nail shop. read more

This place was terrible. My sister and I came to get our nails done. She wanted green and black ombré acrylics and I wanted a gel manicure. My sisters nails came out HORRIBLE! The blending was awful and one broke an hour after we got them done because the person doing her nails kept filing that one way too thin. I wanted a gel manicure but I ended up with a gel acrylic manicure I didn't even want. She kept pushing me to get acrylic powder and she added tips. I didn't even get a manicure. Instead of my $20-30 nails it came out to $55! We paid $120. Also, when we went to pay our only option was venmo?? Awful. read more
