Love this place! I always get a mani and pedi and never leave disappointed. Very relaxing and calming as well.

I used to go to this salon and their other location on Ming Ave. the second to the last time I went my nail tech started to remove the gel only to see that I had a slight nail fungus she said I can fix it me- oh okay. they were then very thick and I asked her to make them thinner I have been doing gel builder for almost 3 years so these were my real nails. she made them thinner by grinding them from the bottom well that didn't make me happy but I thought they grow fast anyways.i believe that when she filed them that way it created a small enough opening to allow water or moisture to enter. Well about a week and 1/2 later one broke and as the tip fell off I feared it was my real nails with it but nope which was great however I had a nail fungus. whe. I made the appointment to go in later that day she removed the rest of the nail full on nail fungus and she did the other nail removing the gel and a fungus on that nail as well. I was hofrrified. never in 25 yeasr of having g my nails done have I had that happen till now. I asked her to take them all off. again I can fix it. no you cane take them off. I will never have my nails done again. I sent a long message to the owner with photos. over a week went by and she finally reached out to apologize. a little late. wants to make it up to me. but I am not interested. this location has been declining since the owner went back to the original location. the salon is no longer as clean as it used to be. So ladies and gents beware I don't think they sanitize and I don't believe any of them are licensed have you seen you tech's license posted anywhere? In for at least 3-6 months for the nail to completely grow out according to my doctor. read more

The woman doing my pedicure cut me and made me bleed. My toe hurts still and it looks so gross. She was actually quite rough with the nippers. I kept wincing because it was hurting. Didn't even offer a discount or anything. I'm upset because I go there often for my pedicures but I will start going elsewhere read more

I've gotten Gel X here 3 times. The third visit, the man over grinded my nails twice, burning me. Two days later, the gel lifted off of one of my nails. I came in for a touch up, as I'm preparing for an interview tomorrow. The front desk person was helpful, but the business owner was rude and interrupting me. I wish I could say this was the first time I've seen this behavior. My past two visits I had seen women working here arguing with customers over unclear pricing and customers who were unsatisfied with their work. Today I found myself in that position. Being the unhappy person trying to get help, only to be argued with! I won't be returning. The vibe can become real hostile here. read more

Elsa' Nail Spa & Lashes - Gel X tip broke off within two days - Nail Salons Near Me - Bakersfield, California

told her from the second i sat down that i didn't want my nails wide, thick, bulky, or packed in on the sides i even told her i'd pay extra to have some of the acrylic removed, but she kept saying she needed to keep them thick so they wouldn't break. like girl, i understand that, but these are NOT the shape i asked for. i showed her a picture and specifically said i didn't want them looking so round and bulky, yet she did exactly that. y'all can clearly see the difference in the shape i showed her versus what i got. they're wide, thick asf, and rounded on the sides, and now i have to worry about how horrible they're gonna look as my natural nails grow out. i literally communicated what i wanted from the beginning, so how did we end up with a completely different nail shape? someone show Nancy the difference between all 3 shapes because she clearly did not see a difference with shape not everyone wants that 2000s looks she was going for. read more

I was waiting for my nails to dry and chatting with the lady seated next to me when suddenly my nail guy and another male employee got into a full on contact brawl!! Seriously hitting, shirts ripped and fists hitting! It was horrific!!! All the other employees were trying to separate them and everything that was said was in Vietnamese, so I have no clue why there was a fight! It was the longest 10 minutes I've experienced in a very long time. And I paid them and went to the wright place for a stiff drink!!! The owner has asked me to remove my post because she fired both employees. I'm not going to remove it, I will add that my nails were done beautifully and the work that was done was great. read more

Came here because reviews and listing of prices seemed reasonable. I wanted to find a new nail salon as well. This was out of my way since I live by the marketplace but wanted to try. When I showed them a very simple French tip with one cherry on one nail. They tried charging me just $20 for the cherry alone! And almost $100 for gel x French tip with the cherry! Even pedicure is expensive. The place looks run down including location. Never again, please do not go here. Friends wanted to try it out but changed their mind after hearing the prices. read more

Loved it, the best place to get them done at! Tina was so nice and helpful! Definitely recommend her ! read more

Terrible service no communication. I've gotten two infections when getting pedicures done both times. I asked for specific services and my request gets ignored. I asked several times how much the price is gonna be in total for nails and pedicure. Whether just one color or design I get ignored. They don't let you know until you're gonna check out how much your payment is gonna be? This last time I went in for a fill with the same nail style that I already had and was charged pretty much like a full set. I had all my nails intact. None were missing. It was a simple fail. I do not recommend poor customer service. They're either too busy chitchatting don't listen to your request as the customer or they're busy on their phone. read more

Got eyelashes done here , it hurt so much lady very rough, not very good turn out the right side is longer than other went back and they don't have time to fix them to go back in 2 days read more

I paid $85 plus a $20 tip for a set of gel-x nails here. 1 week later one of the nails fell off, I went in and paid to get it fixed. The next week, another nail fell off, I went back in and they fixed it for free, now, a week later, 2 nails are lifting so bad that I need it fixed or take them off. I went in and they said I would have to get a fill, I was planning on getting one this coming Saturday. anytime I have had gel-x nails they have lasted a minimum of 4 weeks, which is typical. I will not be coming back here, I have been a consistent customer. Their customer service doesn't match the prices that they charge. read more

always have good service and friendly environment! Have done both pedicure and manicure

The first time was great. The next time my grandaughter and I went it was horrible. My acrylics were thick and by the time I got home the polish on my nails and toes had bubbles in them. My grandaughters were the same. After 1-2 weeks our nails looked like they were done 3-4 weeks ago. The nail tech was very rough. I told the guy that did my pedicure I had 2 ingrown toe nails on my big toe nails that needed taken out but he didn't remove them. My grandauhters nails started to lift after 1 week. We will never return. Save your money people. read more

Horrible service. Multiple ladies had to fix 1 nail. Wait was long plus they're rude when you ask them to fix errors that THEY made. I've been a couple times tried liking it. Never again read more

Rough , poor quality. My nail polish didn't even last 24 hours. They put only 1 coat and chipped within 12 hours. Was charged full price for horrible service, pain and rudeness. They do have good employees but I got the one bothered by customers coming in. read more

I went today new customer, the Customer Service was good greeted with water and wait was not bad But not the Service was rushed trough.

We love coming to Elsa's! My mother and I come every week and we always leave happy and satisfied with our services. The staff could not be sweeter and always make a point of accommodating us and making her comfortable. They have expanded their space since we started coming and the new space is clean, bright and beautiful. Definitely worth the trip across town for me. read more

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I was referred to this salon by a family member because she liked the range of colors they have. However they are highly unsanitary, you can tell from the brushes to the nail nippers that they use! They don't ever bring out new sets. They also use disgusting old nail files on the same clients. I asked for a refund because I did not like my nails and they do not give you money back they will offer you only a gift certificate in exchange. I gifted it to someone else I paid $75 for medium length , square acrylics. The morning was so chaotic there is no organization and because they want the quantity vs. quality! They will tell you it will be a 15-20 minute wait but then they will take 45mins to 1 hour because they don't want to turn away clients so the people who are doing their nails will have to sacrifice the quality as they hurry and rush to attend the incoming individuals. I overheard the gentleman who I assume is the manager or owner calling clients to reschedule them because the "took too many walk ins". I'm sorry but those who are scheduled should not be moved you should not over schedule yourself. I understand if you run over as a courtesy let someone know but just because you are busy and want to tend to a walk in is not okay. I asked for my acrylics to be removed and it was so painful even a week after and my nail beds hurt I'm so scared that I may develop a fungus from this unsanitary place! 0/10 I would not recommend and also they have increased their prices each time I have been there. So I would make sure to know what exactly they are charging you for. read more

Nothing against my nail tech, i came in from out of town for a funeral. Took my mother in law, Nana, and two Tia's to get pedicures. They have never had them done before and i wanted to treat everyone. the service was good. We all got package 1 and it wasn't until i seen them bust out the cheese grater out! uhh NO! that is so illegal and it causes more damage than good! so i stopped them right away and asked them to finish the services but do not use that tool on any of my family! so if you see them use that tool tell them NO!

Went for the first time and got the New York pedicure package, kinda pricey but definitely worth every penny. This spa just recently opened so the massage chairs are brand new and the space is really nice and clean. Kathy was my tech, she was really friendly and took her time, especially with the massage and hot stones. You have no idea how excited I am to finally have a quality spa on this side of town. I will be back again and definitely recommend this place to everyone. read more
