Under New Management! Just had my nails done by Anna... fill w/cat eye no chip manicure, Excellent and my no chip pedicure done by Kathy Great Job! Excited to see how they upgrade the salon. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

The first time I went after new management started - a guy did my nails and complained about them the entire time - insulting! The owner even said to him "stop complaining". I decided to give them one last try. Wendy did my nails this time. Was all set to go and she for whatever reason took the top coat off and put on another layer of color (gel nails) on one foot. Didn't notice until I got home that i have a slightly different shade on the toe nails she redone. I do not have the time to go back after their screw up. I will not be going back to Total Nails read more

It's been awhile since I've been here. When I first moved to this area, I would come here. They claim to take walk ins but every time I tried to walk in- I was denied service. That's ok, just don't advertise you take walk ins then. I've also been on the other end, where I've been in the chair with an appointment and see other paying customers turned down. I quit coming here due to the customer service. The techs would always talk about the customers to other customers. They did a somewhat decent job, prices are average but there are so many other nail salons to pick from! This location is also not the cleanest. I've always had to wait 30 min past my appointment time. Which again, makes no sense considering they don't accept walk ins. read more

Looked for a place that does dip powder for a reasonable price. Holly was friendly, and took her time to make my nails look pretty! I did the ombré dip powder on my natural nails, and it looked so good that it could be fake (in a good way obviously). Will return again. read more

I wanted to like it. My mom has gone here for a couple of years. I went with her and had to wait a long time in the pedicure chair. I was scolded for a number of things, that were not wrong - just now how they wanted, even while sitting there waiting (yes, I had an appointment). My manicure and pedicure were poorly clipped and prepped. Very poor job on the polish on my pedicure. To top it off a cuticle of mom's was cut so bad that blood spattered on her mask and she was still charged the full $75. Other places I've gone have much better service and completed look. So sad. read more

Charged me for gel nails and gave me acrylic very sloppy job.. cuticles aren't neat, shaping is off and uneven ugh last time going there.

I got a mani/pedi here today and it was excellent. Had my nails dipped for $40 and the $35 pedicure with salt scrub and hot stones. Amazing and such a good job. I'll be a regular here no doubt. Very different from other salons see the service is nonexistent. Very friendly and truly seems to care about their customers. Cannot recommend enough! read more

I got a gel full set and a pedicure. The owner, Mimi is very sweet and Holly did a great job. They just opened yesterday and the place is spacious and clean. They also do facials and eyelash extensions. I will definitely be back! read more

Do not go there!!!! Le rushed my pedicure. Did not do my cuticles and did not file except for a few seconds. She did a French manicure and it looks horrible!!!!! read more

I called today at 5pm and asked to make an appointment for a pedicure for tomorrow. The lady said no come tonight at 630 so I said ok. Showed up at 620 and there were 3 other people waiting. Finally at 650 they tell me to sit in a pedicure chair. They run the water and just leave me sitting with my feet in there. 15 minutes go by and my feet are getting all pruny and they still had a lot of people to finish up before getting to me. I just got up to leave and told them I don't understand why someone told me to come if they were do busy. She claimed they didn't get busy until 6pm right before I came. Yeah right. Never going there again, total waste of time. read more

this is the second time I go there we all deserve a second chance and when I walk out of there my nails they are too thick I did the deep in and it looks horrible I didn't mind the price if they look good but what they did to me it's just in acceptable I pay $60 so for this is not even worth it I am going tomorrow to a different place just to get them fixed because I don't have time today read more

This salon always provides amazing service. I feel like I am a bit undecided about what I might want when I arrive, but even through my vague description of what I want done on my nails, I am 100% happy with what I have when I leave. Staff is always kind and accommodating. Also super convenient because it is located right between an awesome hair salon and tanning salon. It's the ultimate one stop area for beauty!!! read more

The last 2 times I have been here I have made an appointment, both times I waited over a half an hour. The first time I thought it was maybe just bad timing, now it is a pattern. The service here is ok, I would not say they do a great job, definitely not worth the wait, time and frustration. read more

Staff is nice, but the job they do on your nails is pretty rough. Been twice for no chip and both times, there has been some type of bump, scratch, or mark on my nails due to carelessness. They also have limited equipment, so I had to wait 15 minutes for them to find a UV no chip machine that actually works. I will not be returning here anytime soon. read more

I used to go here because it was so close to my house, but my no chips never lasted even 2 weeks so I stopped going. I recently went back to see if anything had changed. I got a no chip mani and my pointer finger polish completely split down the middle the next day! I went in to get it fixed and the OWNER just glued it and sent me on my way. Really?! Now I get to go 2 weeks with a visible crack! Why she didn't redo the ONE nail is beyond me, but now I'm definitely not going back. read more

Holly is really good at what she does. The place is clean and they are very welcoming. They also recently got new pedicure chairs. The only problem is that they are always super busy so although they accept walk-ins definitely book an appointment, it's worth it. read more

Super upset, going on vacation tomorrow and made an appt a week ago for tonight at 5pm for 3 pedis. My mom my daughter and I. Walk in to tell me that they couldn't do all 3 only 1 bc everyone went on vacation. Thanks for not calling me ahead of time to let me know. Now we have no where to go on a Friday night last min to get our nails done. read more

Im still in the chair and need to review this place. It's the most thorough pedicure I've had all summer. I requested the basic pedicure and I'm impressed- if this is basic I now wish I would've upgraded! So glad to have found this place! read more

Ive been to this place once and i am headed back tonight....my gel manicure lasted 18 days! I went with my mom for our first time and she has also returned since and had an excellent experience both times. It is clean and looks fresh and the staff is really nice. Definitely check it out....I am a loyal customer now! read more

Very disappointed with this place! I had a reservation and she make me wait an hour! To the point that I walk out! Unprofessional!!!

This is the best nail salon in town. Mimi and Holly are not new to elgin just new location! I'm a diva when it comes to my nails!!!! I've been a faithful customer for the past 6 years and I will follow them anywhere. An appointment is a must because all us old faithfuls have followed. read more

Will not return. Most disappointing pedicure I've ever had. Not happy with my manicure either. My cuticles are sore and bloody.

I had a manicure, regular polish. They will not accept a card unless its a $10 min charge. Well exactly 24 hours later my nail chipped. So I drove by to see if they can just dab a little nail polish on that one finger. The owner gave me such sh*t about it. She said that they don't warranty regular nail polish. Well duh, no one does but it has been literally 24 hours. Whats the big deal for one spot of polish? She then proceeded to fix it, put on a third coat on all of my nails and then said "see you next time!". All I could think was "yeah I'm not coming back". If you are going to fix something for a client then don't first give them sh*t for it. 24 hours late - chipped again. I didn't even do anything! read more

The worst pedicure ever. My friend and I booked appointments ahead of time, and we were told a pedicure was a half hour long. Mine just took less than 15 minutes. I asked the guy to scrub my feet really good bc I have not had a pedicure in a while, my feet are still rough and no better than when I walked in to the place. The woman doing my girlfriends however, is doing a phenomenal job. So possibly just the gentleman here is awful. So completely frustrated and annoyed. Request a female if you choose to come. read more

Total crap! Quite possibly the worst pedicure I ever got. I walked out with nail polish smeared around my toes like a drunk tot did them, heels dry and cracked, and the worst part my toe nails hurt because the girl went too deep in cutting them. I will NEVER come back here again. Save yourself the money and the pain, go any where but here. Wasn't even relaxing, water was luke warm and when the girl saw I didn't want to upgrade my pedicure she quickly got done with it in 15 min and it shows.. read more

We always went here till I got the man who jabbed a sharp instrument in the corner of my big toe. It hurt so bad and it took 4 months to hv the pain go away. I could not wear certain shoes that whole time. The man needs to go he is really bad. My daughter had the girl and mine was started 15 min before her and was done 5 min after my daughter was started. My daughter got a whole hour and I got 20 min for the most expensive pedi they have. Will not return. I repeat the guy has to go. read more
