Elegant Nail Hair & Tanning

I used to come here years back and was just recently reminded why I stopped. Went in for a fill for acrylic nails with gel polish. One lady started and then the owner took over. Who was literally complaining 89% of the time doing my nails. Saying how tired she was and how much work my nails were. Once again… it was a fill. Not one nail missing. And they were in pretty good condition, so I’m not really sure what the issue was. So $ 35 and 2 days later. First nail falls off. 1 day later, another. 3 days later, another. At that point a fill isn’t even an option so I just wanted to have them taken off. Go in and explain what happened (to the owner directly) and she states they are too busy to help me. I said «okay, when should I come back?» With a little hesitation she said 7:30 which was 2.5 hours later and 30 mins before they close. Go back on time only to be ignored for 7 mins and never once greeted. The process to remove these nails could have seriously just been done at home. She pulled majority of my nails off with a nail filer and nail clippers. I suggested letting them soak and that is when she prepared the substance to do so. On my last 3 nails. I was there for an hour at this point and was kind of over it. So I told her that was enough and I’m ready to go (with a little acrylic still on this 3 nails). She insisted on filing my nails and I let her do so. Went to wash my nails, returned to her station and asked «are you going to charge me for this?» To my surprise, she says «$ 10». I was completely shocked and just lost it at that point. I told her how ridiculous that was and her owner should take it from the $ 10 tip I gave her after doing what was to end up a horrible job on my fill. Either way, I paid. Walked out and will NEVER return.

Great manicure today, I’m really pleased with my cuticles and when I requested something for my weak nails she pulled out the Orly and I love Orly products. I’m on day five and my nails still look like the day I had the manicure, first time ever this has happened!

Owner is rude. Tend to other people’s needs to much. Mostly eyebrow waxes when ever someone walks in because she is the only one who does them but i think it’s rude when I’ve scheduled an apt specifically for your time.
I have not once seen them clean pedicure bowls between multiple peoples services.
They use USED pedicure tools/​implements on multiple people. especially that disgusting electric foot file. Imagine someone’s foot getting saw dusted with that thing and then they use it on your without proper sanitation. Yeah let that sink in. Plus electric foot files are illegal in California. They eye brow station is nasty. Also your not supposed to dip the stick you get wax with in the wax bowl more then once if it has touched someone’s skins. That hot wax bowl probably has hair in it and who knows wht else. Where is state board when you need them! They charge a $ 1 fee to use cards without even telling you. Find a new place. Elegant nails is NOT so elegant. I’d give it no stars if I could

This is my favorite nail place. I always see Nina but all the ladies are great. Get the #2 or #3 pedicures. Awesomeness. Make sure to make an appt, they get busy.

After my co worker and I got off work, we needed a last minute pedi! Lee did mine and she did wonderful job!:)

Got the 3 month tanning membership $ 89. Nice, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Definitely will recommend to friends and family.

I go here because it’s around the corner from work. They can usually get a basic pedicure done during my lunch hour, which is what I mostly come here for. Service seems standard, prices average. It’s not my favorite place — the massages are kind of weak. But I’ve certainly had worse service and quality elsewhere. Pedicure usually lasts 3 or 4 weeks.

Won’t be back. Manicure was lousy and they charge $ 1 for using Visa without telling the customer. Owner is rude. Used to go there years ago, tried it again. Nothing’s changed.

Best nails in sac. Been going here for a few years and won’t go anywhere else. Good quality nails, and they last a long time. Fairly priced. All the workers know what their doing and are very friendly. Also, if your in a rush, they are FAST. Five stars to Linda (the owner) and her team.

Went in 2 weeks ago and got my acrylics taken off. I ended up going with a gel manicure. One week after getting it, my nails are peeling and chipped they look terrible. I used to go here all the time and then stopped because I was overpaying for bad service. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lavender nails on Howe Ave. I have not had an issue with their service in the 6 months I have been going there.
Also the women at Elegant nails make you feel SO uncomfortable. You can tell they are talking about you in their language and I hate that! You are made to feel so unwelcome its ridiculous. I love the staff at Lavender nails, I have always felt welcomed and love that they want to carry on conversations in English instead of being silent and talking in another language to each other.
NEVER COMING BACK HERE!

I went in last Wednesday and the owner did my nail she could practically do then with get eyes closed but they started to lift off by Friday … So I went in for her to fix the three nails that were lifting already !!! When I went it they were busy it was the day before 4^th of July but she told me I glue them for you they stay good !!! I told her I just paid 55 dollars for nails and they are coming up I want them fixed not just glued she said well we busy I glue for you it stay really good ! I can’t believe I got treated like that !!! If I could give her a -* I would she ! I could have glued them myself !!! Now I have to go spend another 40 – 50 dollars somewhere else cause this lady was a Jack@$$ …

Cindy is the best at all… from a great massage and hand painted flowers to your American manicure and tips with great durability. I. Have been coming here over 12 years great services.

Ladies did great… Spent a good amount of time massaging. Chairs were nice. We didn’t have an appointment but they were able to get us right in without waiting. Here on a Sunday which is hard to find a salon open on Sunday’s with enough chairs. 5 chairs for pedicures and about the same for nails. Great, would come back!

Cindy is the best at doing nails and is here just about everyday. They are always busy and arnt necessarily easiest to understand but they are hard workers. There have been a few occasions where I’ve noticed them talking about customers only because my friend understands their language and told me. Lol.
Other than that… They have a few tanning beds in the back also so this is my one stop shop.

I’ve been getting my nails done here for years and everyone is always so friendly! I always get a pedicure and sometimes a gel manicure. The polish lasts a long time and I always leave feeling more relaxed then when I came in. Can’t beat the price either!

I went in for an acrylic full and I’m not happy with the result at all. The lady did such a shitty job, she didn’t completely fill the gap like she was supposed to and the nail Polish was not looking as it should. She cut my cuticle and made it bleed and when I asked her to leave it alone because it hurt, she continued to try to work on it saying «she could fix it». Not to mention I was not charged what I was told, if you are going to charge me more then you should let me know. I did not get anything fancy just a fill. I will never go here again.

If I could give zero stars I would. This is another horror story about Linda. Being a diabetic, it is imperative for my feet to be taken care of, or at least that’s what my doctor said.
For the last 6 months I have been getting pedicures at elegant nail, and never had a problem, unless Linda was the person working on my feet.
My first experience was a few months ago when she was using her pumice stone and rubbed my foot so raw that it was bleeding. I thought nothing of it, and went about my day, thinking she didn’t mean to do it and it was an accident.
Fast forward to last week, I came in again for a pedicure and got Linda again. She did the normal thing of clipping my nails and such and went to use the pumice stone. She first started on my right, then my left and then went back to my right, which I thought was odd. She scrubbed and scrubbed until my heel felt so raw I had to say something. She them proceeded to take the stone between my toes and scrub between them to the point they were raw and bleeding.
Now mind you, my feet had some dry skin, since I don’t put on much lotion, but there was nothing between my toes. She proceeded to blame me, that my feet were cracked and bleeding when I came in there. When I was done, I could barely walk and my feet burned. I had to go to the doctor two days later and my doctor said that I had athletes foot. I told her I’ve
Never had it before and my feet were clean before I went in there. My doctor stated that salons are not clean and this could have manifested from there. Plus, after one session with Linda, my wife came down with toe nail fungus on her feet.
If you get Linda, make sure she gets a sanitized pack of tools, because her personal tools are never sterilized. I’m planning on calling the health department in regards to her. Everyone else in the shop is friendly and nice, except for Linda.
Also, if she gets a phone call during your session, don’t expect anything to be done. She took a call and was supposed to be massaging my legs, she essentially shook them side to side while talking to someone from Tokyo.

This review is solely for the tanning services as I’ve never used them for mani/​pedis. I decided to go here because it’s the closest place to my house that offers tanning services and the pricing is excellent compared to dedicated tanning salons. Unfortunately, you do get what you pay for. I would not recommend this place for tanning unless you really are looking for the bottom of the barrel pricing and don’t care about quality and cleanliness. From the very first time I went tanning, the bed I was assigned to had 2 bulbs that were out and these were never replaced over a 4 – 5 month period. That should tell you something about maintenance. On top of this, they don’t clean their beds, but ask the customers to clean the beds before and after use, which I don’t like having to do, especially because there is a 3-​minute delay before the tanning bed starts automatically which means you have to thoroughly clean the bed, disrobe, and situate yourself in the bed all in 3 minutes. Sometimes there were hand towels provided in the room, sometimes there were none. They also don’t have any bins to put used hand towels in, so you would see used ones just draped over the chair, trash bin, stool, etc. which concerns me about the cleanliness of the room overall.
I was literally counting down my tanning sessions each time (I bought a pre-​set amount) so I could go somewhere else. I gave them 2 stars because the ladies were relatively nice and I was always helped pretty quickly after coming in. As far as the services though, I would definitely not recommend tanning here. In fact, I think it’d probably be in their best interest to just discontinue tanning services completely since they obviously don’t have the time to properly maintain the rooms and beds.

I’ve been here numerous times and I have never been disappointed with the results.
I typically come here for a pedicure and eyebrow waxing and they’ve done a great job, plus they’re extremely polite. It’s a bummer not everyone has had
The same experience but I can’t complain.

Please, PLEASE skip this place & go to Nail 2000! Thursday afternoon I walk in & ask if they had any availability for a manicure. One of the ladies told me in 5 minutes she could provide me with a manicure. Excellent! I proceed to look at the color selection, pick my color and have a seat while she finishes a pedicure.
10 minutes…
20 minutes…
30 minutes…
40 minutes goes by & I simply gather my things, put back the nail polish and walk out. I could hear one of the ladies calling me to come back but at this point I was so FURIOUS she had me wait 40 MINUTES. I’m confused as to why she couldn’t have told me no? Or have me make an appointment? Tell me to come back in 40 minutes?
I honestly wanted to see if she or any of her 5 co-​workers would address me. Is it that hard to inform me that you miss judged your timing & the wait was going to be longer than 5 minutes?
Never. Going. Back.
