This place is great! Finally a nail / waxing salon in Tolland - and worth going to. I have been here numerous occasions and would go more frequently if I lived in CT; however I am in NYC but grew up in Tolland. Regardless, I am in my 20's my mom in her 50's and my granny in her 90's and all three of us love this place. The owner is Moon and she and her talented and friendly staff are wonderful! They are gentle yet firm with their mani/pedis and they took such amazing care of my 95 year old granny. They were so sweet and made her feel so pampered. They place is warm feeling and very clean, spotless even. No worries in that department. Everyone can get their own personal box with files and other tools to ensure a personal and "sterile" experience. Additionally I got a bikini wax (brazilian to be exact) and Moon and another lady worked with me and it was as a good wax should be. It took a little while, they did not rush to get me in and out of there in 10 minutes like other places I have been. They made sure I was always comfortable, making sure nothing was too hot and so forth. They even gave me a heated towel to put under my back to make me even more comfortable and were able to give me one of the best wax jobs I have ever had. (I do not have difficult areas so if you have thick, hard to work with areas I cannot speak directly to that, but I bet you'd be in good hands). For the first time I had almost zero ingrown after a wax as well. The prices were average and 100% worth it. The staff will get to learn your name and face and you will be so happy they did. read more

Update: my gel pedicure lasted exactly 3 weeks without a single chip... so impressive! If my nails weren't growing I would test how long they could truly last. High quality nail salon! read more

They always do as I've requested. They do not try to upsell more services. I ask for a specific person and she is consistently good (and my feet are a challenge!). Folks who work there are always pleasant. There is no chemical odor in the space- and it is always appearing clean. A serene atmosphere, foot soaks, vibrating chairs and calming music add to more of a spa-like feel. It's a treat to go to Elle. read more

Such an amazing experience. I went in hoping that my nails could be fixed from a prior salon and they had no problem. Everyone was so kind and Chris did an amazing job with making my nails look stunning. It was such a great vibe! If you are in need of gel extensions, ask for Chris and she will get you looking right. read more

Elle Nails - Fresh set of gel extension nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Tolland, Connecticut

My girlfriend was having a bad day so we wanted to go and get our nails done. It was myself and two other ladies. I moved to town about a year ago so I'm just becoming familiar with the places so I called around to a couple of the local nail salons and we could not get in. I called L nails and they were able to get us in within the next four hours which was awesome. The place was clean and had a lot of nail color choices I got a new gel set. Hannah, who was the person who did my Joseth did a really great job. So much that I booked my second appointment with her. I would definitely recommend this place read more

worst manicure i've ever gotten. I had gel on previously and he didn't remove all of it you can still see it under my new polish. disgusting. then he painted over my cuticles and missed the sides of my nail. and wait there's more. He then left a bunch of cured gel on the inside of my nail and on my skin around the nail. i hate this place im never going back. read more

I went to Elle nail salon in Tolland yesterday August 5,2022 for a pedicure. The man that did my pedicure used a file to take dead skin off and took more skin than he should have. Also used the same file that he used on someone else's feet that to me is unsanitary. I started feeling pain when I got to my vehicle. I will NEVER go to them again. read more

Elle Nails is a safe and immaculately clean salon. One of the best attributes of this salon is that it doesn't have a noxious odor like other salons that I've visited. I periodically go to Elle Nails for pedicures and am always pleased with the staff and results. read more

disappointed ..Won't go back.. didn't clean the soaking tub.. used no sterile tools.. One of the worst pedicures I have had...$38 plus tips.. would touch my calluses .. that is an extra cost.. I didn't feel the place was clean read more

Absolutely love the service I've received here every time! A great way to pamper myself in the middle of the winter season - warm smiling faces and wonderful vibes read more

They do a great job here a little on the expensive side compared to other salons but clean, nice people good atmosphere

Clean, friendly, great customer service. Had a gel mani and regular pedicure. Charlie took his time on the mani, gave my nails a great shape and I got a back massage and hot towel treatment. $38 for the gel, but worth it. I think the pedi was around $30. I put my shoes on too early and realized I smudged both big toes on my way out. Came back in and Charlie immediately did a polish change, and gave me a topcoat to help with drying. Will be back! read more

I am so pleased that I found this place. I went with my friends, the day before her wedding, and the staff was all super nice, friendly and outgoing. They treated us like VIPs and even have us a nice little gift. Amy did my manicure and pedicure and she did a fabulous job. She was attentive, friendly and the manicure/pedicure came out great! My friend had Paige and had the same experience. We also had a great encounter with Moon, who was funny and darling! The prices are extremely reasonable for the great service you get. I wish I lived closer to this place because I would go all the time. Whenever I'm in the area I will be here and I will highly recommend it to my friends. read more

I've gone to Elle Nails for many years. They are wondering people and I've always been thrilled with the manicure and pedicure services I've received. For those upset about the "cash only" situation... they do accept credit cards. Anyone paying cash receives a discount. They have an ATM inside the nail salon as well. read more

I absolutely positively love Elle Nails! I've had nothing but great experiences every time I go. Moon and Hannah Are wonderful. Their services are top-notch and I would recommend anyone go there. They're super clean as for the other salons they are not disinfecting or cleaning their implements way they should. read more

So I tried Elle nail salon twice, both times the gel broke, not my nails, the price is up to twice the going price at almost all nail salons around, owner stares due to better gel which is baloney. Left my last place as my wonderful nail tech becoming a nurse and hours were no longer convenient . Cost thier for same thing at Elle but better quality at previous salon 43.00 with tax gel and color oh yea and OPI! Got charged for broken gel repair won't be going back!!! Only nice thing was the woman who work there. read more

I paid $115 for nails that broke/fell off in less than two weeks. Only two nails are left. I feel stupid for wasting so much money, on gel nails. read more

I love this salon. far superior to the others I have been to in this area. My gel mani lasts over 2 weeks and the place is clean and relaxing. Not loud - and even as a newcomer the technicians were welcoming which is not usually the case. Every gel mani comes with a little shoulder massage too! It's amazing. I will be coming here for my manicures for now on. read more

This was the worst pedicure I have ever gotten and was pretty pricey. It's pretty standard for a pedicure to last for an hour, we were lucky if it lasted even 30 minutes. Then when we went to pay we were informed they don't accept cards which is not posted anywhere in the store. And told to use the ATM. To top it off, since we didn't find the service to be up to par we were not tipping 15%... we instead chose to tip 10% (I usually tip 20% for exceptional service) and the gentleman yelled at us and told us that we had to tip more because it standard to tip 20 to 25%. So incredible rude, a tip is not a guarantee but the service there was lackluster and honestly they were lucky we're were tipping at all. I do not recommend going here ever. read more

I loved this place. I got a pedicure (just the generic one- they offer a variety of pretty pricey specialty pedi's but I opted for the generic). I have to say it was one of the best I've ever had. This woman spent at least 50 minutes grooming nails, cuting cuticles, buffing away calluses, painting, etc. They have great massage chairs and she even rubbed my neck as my nails were drying!! This place really does do a stellar job...but you have to pay for that quality. Prices are quite a bit steeper than other nail salons in the area but to be honest as a treat every once in a while you can't put a price on being treated like a princess :) HINT: stop by weekdays for discounts! read more

Pedicure was fine but pricey. I prefer Royal Nails down the road. The reason for only 2 stars was because my shoulder massage. It was so rough to the point that it was painful! I had to ask him to stop! read more

Got a standard manicure and polish change! They were great! Hot towels and an in chair massage! Paraffin treatment and hand massage for $15! I'll def be back! read more

Would absolutely recommend Elle Nails! I had Moon do a gel French manure. She was diligent and took her time to make sure I was happy with the lines. Such a great experience and atmosphere. Highly, highly recommend! read more

I went here today with a friend for a mani pedi and had the best experience! The two women were so nice and friendly. They talked to us, they spent a good amount of time making sure everything looked perfect, and most importantly, they didn't rush us out. I've notice some nail salons rush you out but here, they didn't. Everything was clean, the price was not bad at all, and the place itself always looks nice. The nails came out great, too! I will definitely be coming back, this was the best nail salon experience I've ever had! read more

One of the best nail salons I've ever been to! They go out of their way to make sure you have a relaxed and comfortable experience and my nails have always come out great. The salon itself is very nice and spacious. Very reasonably priced for all of the special touches you get. read more

I felt rushed from the moment I walked in. Then when I heard one of the workers state,"time is money" I knew I would never return. It is clean but that is about all I can say positive. If you want three coats of polish you have to ask. read more

Cash only = total scam. It's 2018 and Square charges less then 2%. But of course they have an ATM on site with a $3 surcharge. If a business is cash only it's just trying to avoid paying taxes. Can't support businesses that don't support Murica. read more

I have been going to this salon for a year and always had a good experience but not this time. Although I was greeted with the same friendliness as usual the remainder of the visit was disappointing. The woman did everything possible to rush me through the appointment. The water was alternately cold and scalding hot, she forgot to exfoliate my left foot until I reminded her, there was no leg or foot massage,she skipped the toe separators and finally after a quick perfunctory shoulder massage she told me my toes were dry enough to leave if I was "careful" and nearly pushed me out the door. I will be looking elsewhere for the relaxing experience I expect from a pedicure. read more

I love going to this salon. It's nearby, they know me enough to ask about my family, and they always greet me with a smile. I recently began getting a fungal growth on my toenail. I did consult my doctor and confirmed it was from unsanitary tools, etc. getting my nails done. For this reason, I will no longer be a customer of theirs. read more

I was looking for a local place to have a manicure done (my first manicure ever, so I wasn't sure what to look for), and after seeing Kate B.'s review, I decided to try Elle Nails. The women were friendly and the shop seemed clean. However, during the manicure, my fingers were cut twice (deep enough that one bled a little and both spots scabbed over) while my cuticles were being trimmed. Not knowing if that was normal or not, I didn't say anything about it and still left a good tip. After speaking with some friends, I realize I probably don't have too much to worry about. I believe the tools used were sterilized, so the spread of disease isn't too much of a concern. However, according to my friends, it isn't normal to be cut to the point of bleeding during a manicure. I will probably look elsewhere next time I need one. read more

I always get a great manicure at Elle. The neck and shoulder massage that comes with it, is always a nice treat! The salon is beautiful and very clean. Everyone that works there is personable and they go out their way to make sure you're comfortable. read more

Always enjoy my visits here! Truly exceptional customer service. I have been coming to Elle Nails for about a year now. I get the gel polish for my hands, and I love it. My nails look fabulous. I have tried the various pedicures that the salon offers. I treat myself to pedicures when I feel stressed out, and Elle Nails goes a step further to pamper me. Now, Elle Nails is part of my routine! read more

Clean & thorough. CASH ONLY but there is an atm on the opposite side of the plaza. I've been many times for mani/pedis. I find them to be priced the same as places in Rocky Hill & West Hartford I frequent on occasion. Only left there disappointed once bc the girl did a poor buffing job to my nails but everything else was greaat. Friendly. read more

This place is OK, but I've never been there without being cut with the cuticle clippers and each time they didn't have enough antiseptic and ended up trying to clot the blood by painfully rubbing the cut w a tissue. The work they do here is decent- but def not great. read more

I went to Elle Nails with my elderly mom who has Alzheimers. I went into the shop and asked to have her nails filled, and how much - they said $38.00. They asked me what kind of nails I told them acrylic. They never said they did not do acrylic; instead they put her with a totally inexperienced technician. He took 2 hours and 15 minutes for a fill and her nails were bubbly, different lengths etc. It took so long that I had to call my niece to sit with her and take her home. When they went to pay they charged her $90!! - I immediately called the salon and was told they don't do acrylic and they had to remove the old nails and put on a new set! This was never said to me prior - I was quoted $38 - and $48 for a french - this place is awful! would NEVER RETURN! read more

Nice folks but polish was chipping in 24 hours. Won't be back.

Wow, this place is soo great. I can't wait to go again. The pedicure was WELL worth the money spent on it.

I love this place; I was driving to west Hartford once a month for my Brazilian wax, when all of sudden it was under new management, Girls I am so glad I went here, now I drive up one exit and I am done. read more

I got a gel manicure and they did a less than stellar job. They did not clean or detail my cuticles, there are air bubbles gel polish of manicure, when I told them the polish color I wanted they ignored my request and used the wrong polish, and this is only the beginning. I would not recommend Elle Nails to my friends or anyone else. read more
