    I am sad to see such harsh reviews. after going to several places in Grand Forks, this is the best…read moreof the best. I AM a person to trust because I get nails done in Mn and ND due to my travels. They have NEVER pushed for a tip. they offer me a water, and encourage me to relax. they are timely and work is worth the price. All I will say is one, people tend to write negative reviews, and two, they would fix and do anything if you just say so. They always greet someone coming in, and are very pleasant with walk ins. I haven't waited with appt, but most ALL other nail places in GF I have waited up to two hours with an appt made. Give people a break that are a family business, doing good work. I recommend this place with great trust in their talent and work, which is above average.

    I've been a loyal customer at Elite Nails since June 2024, visiting every six weeks for mani-pedis…read more Initially, I was happy with my choice--the pedicures were relaxing, and the manicures were decent, though cuticle care could use improvement. Unfortunately, my recent experience on 12/28 has completely soured my opinion of this salon. Despite calling ahead for a 1:45 PM appointment, I wasn't seated until 2:00, and no one started my nails until 2:20. While I understand delays can happen, the lack of transparency was frustrating, especially since the male nail tech (chair #3) disappeared for a significant amount of time. I asked for a soft milky white color (similar to OPI's Funny Bunny) and showed a picture of a simple French design with a soft white base and white tips. Instead of working to accommodate my request, the staff turned my choice into an ordeal. There was constant chatter in their native language, paired with giggles and obvious side glances that made it clear I was being gossiped about. They seemed confused by "milky white" and instead of trying to clarify, the entire situation felt unnecessarily tense. When the male tech finally started, it went downhill fast. He used white dip powder but failed to remove the previous dip layer fully, leaving streaks and uneven patches. Then, he used a *metal* tip on the Dremel to smooth and buff the dip--a completely inappropriate tool for the job. Not only did it leave harsh streaks, but it burned my thumb cuticle so badly that it bled. I've been getting my nails done for 15+ years, and I've never experienced pain like that. The tech tried to cover the poor dip application with shellac, but it only emphasized the streaks and bare patches. My nails looked like a complete mess. By 3:00 PM, I'd had enough and asked to stop the service. The tech did not speak English, so the owners got involved. I calmly explained the issue was about *quality*--not the color--but instead of taking accountability, the owners kept pushing more "fixes." The male owner, though polite, suggested applying a full-coverage white polish to mask the issues. Desperate for something halfway decent, I agreed. The female owner took over, but her attitude was anything but professional. She was dismissive, rude, and pushy, insisting on filing my nails further even though I'd already been burned by the Dremel. When curing the polish, she forcibly shoved my hand into the light, causing the wet polish to smudge against the edges. It felt deliberate, as though she wanted to make sure I left even more dissatisfied. Despite everything, I wasn't charged for the service, but the final product still wasn't worth the time, stress, and pain I endured. On top of that, I didn't even leave with the result I was expecting and will now have to visit another salon to have the work redone properly. As you can see from the attached photos, the final result was sloppy, streaky, and an absolute disappointment. This isn't the first time Elite Nails has been pushy about their services. From the beginning, they've insisted on combining dip and shellac (claiming it's better for the nails) while cutting corners like skipping acetone removal and using the wrong tools. They push unwanted services and still expect top dollar and a tip, regardless of the quality of work. If you do visit, I recommend the tech in chair #8 (from Atlanta), who is friendly, speaks English, and does excellent work. But overall, this salon's lack of respect for their customers and inability to deliver quality service has made it clear I'll never return. Proceed with caution.
