Elegant Nail & Spa

Now this is an awesome nail salon. I’m not saying it’s the most fancy, pampering place I’ve been, but damn, they give good (shellac) manicures!
I got my nails done here with a friend on December 19. 17 days later is when I got my first chip. I repeat, 17 days later! That is unheard of, quite frankly. I’ve gotten shellac from other places that has chipped a day later (disappointing, I know). Currently, it’s been 20 days since my manicure, and I have a few chipped nails on my right hand, which is to be completely expected.
Anyway, back to my visit. My friend and I walked in (appointment-​less) around 6pm on a Friday. We were greeted immediately (+1) and asked what services we’d like. We both were getting shellac, so they directed us to the nail wheels to pick out a color. I may be the most fickle person I know, so I appreciated the patience as I debated between colors for a solid 5 minutes. The technicians sat us next to each other (+1) and proceeded with the best shellac I’ve ever gotten (+2). Both ladies were nice, funny, and gentle. The manicure probably lasted about 45 minutes, with a brief hand massage.
Perhaps the second best part of this experience was when we checked out. A shellac manicure for $ 30 (+2 again)?! Woohoo, a great manicure at a great price! I will most definitely be back to Elegant Nail & Spa for future nail appointments. I just wish it were closer :(

I like the girls that work there but have never walked out of there satisfied. The first time, I asked for gel extensions and got acrylics with shellac. This was before I knew better. Instead of having them taken off, I just continued to have them filled but it was never done really well. Some of the nails were way too thick because they didn’t clean out the inside layer and would end up broken as a result. They never clipped my cuticles and always left a pretty big gap at the bottom of the nail so that I would have to come in sooner for a fill. One time, I was cut and burned several times and when I would pull away, the nail tech would say «Oh you’re really sensitive today.» Not sensitive, just don’t like having my skin cut with the file so that I bleed or having it held on my nail for so long that it burns me. After 6 visits and having to have them taken off and completely redone twice in that time, I grew them out and removed them myself.

Relaxing environment, clean, and close to work. but $ 40 for a mani/​pedi that chipped the next day, no thanks. Won’t be back.

I’ve been here for a pedicure three times. The first time I had the deluxe pedicure. The description sheet they gave me said I would get a 15 minute calf massage. I received maybe 2 minutes. Felt very rushed through it. The second time was okay, but they spent about 30 seconds filing my nails so they were rough and not even. After the third time, I found the polish had bubbled up on every toe. I could do a better job than that! The atmosphere is nice, price isn’t bad, and it doesn’t smell too much like chemicals in there, but unless they improve their quality I won’t be back.

My nails need all the help they can get. Luckily, Elegant Nail & Spa moved into town and I stopped in for a «tune up».
Everything appeared very clean and the staff was friendly. After picking out a color from the large selection on the wall, I enjoyed watching the salt water fish and light conversation with the staff. I had an opportunity to relax in the massage chair during my pedicure and caught up on an episode of House Hunters during my manicure. They even offer waxing services so if it be the case, they can make an eyebrow plural in a jiffy. Due to my dry hands, I often enjoy a paraffin wax treatment too.
This all sounds like it is adding up. For a traditional (non shellac) manicure, pedicure, and brow wax it will clock in at UNDER fifty dollars. Most salon and spas will charge you that for a manicure alone. I do not go in on a regular basis by any means, but sometimes it is a great way to relax and treat myself.
What makes Elegant Nail & Spa stand out in comparison to similar nail shops in the area? I enjoy the conversation and the scents of their scrubs and lotions are more my speed. I also like the starfish in the tank.
Other fun facts: You can make an appointment or walk in for service. They do nail art too if you want sometime more unique.

Down to business, I will certainly be back and probably take my hubby with me! Good mani/​pedi for $ 40 can’t beat it. I loved that they open at 9am, I’m an up and at em girl on the weekends this was great for me!
I was greeted promptly upon arrival and quickly taken back for my pedi. At 9 am I did not expect many customers but they already had 4 and one was a gentleman getting a pedi. I knew immediately that my husband would be comfortable there. The english spoken is good and if you dont’ get offended my casual co-​worker chit chat in another language you’ll be just fine.
I stopped here based on the 2 previous reviews and they did not disappoint Pretty basic spa pedi,& regular mani, but I did enjoy the added warm towel wrap prior to the leg massage. my only ehhh gripe is that they did not use nail clippers and filed my toes instead. I guess it’s what your used to. I did not bring cash for a tip but they accepted one paid by card. Nice to know if you forget. Still over all nice job and fairly priced. My hands and feet were happy when I left, I will certainly return.

This is a strip mall gem, and I will definitely be back … in fact, I will probably return in about a week for my next mani, along with a pedicure, too. The combo is $ 40, which is a huge draw for me.
I stopped in randomly and was very, very impressed. The salon is clean, and nicely decorated. Although open since last fall, the furniture, mani stations & drying station look brand new. Plus, as you enter directly to your left is a cute self-​serve coffee bar. LOVE THAT. I got a basic mani in Essie’s «Tie the Knot,» a semi-​opaque nude. My mani is nice, although not a neat as I like or I do at home. That said, my tech was very pleasant and QUICK. The drying station was clean and the TVs had news.
I really like the color selection of both Essie & OPI products, and their hours are extended as the salon opens at 9 AM. I’m not an early riser, but it bugs me to wait until nearly noon to get my nails done on the weekend. Finally, I know the preference is to pay a cash tip, and I usually comply, but there is the option of leaving a tip on your credit card. I’ve gone places before that will NOT apply a tip via credit card, and I think that is so annoying.
Overall, this salon fits my needs perfectly, so I will pick this spot over Gloss & Polished, my two prior favorites, in the future.

Great service — great price!
A basic pedi for $ 28 — how much could you expect? Turns out, quite a bit in this place.
It’s clean, modern and welcoming. Yeah, you probably will have no clue what they are saying, but the service is outstanding. a 50 min pedi with excellent lower leg and foot massage, excellent color selection, and staff going out of their way to make you comfortable.
Definitely will come back.
