There was an advisory for snow to begin falling in the afternoon and all through the next day. I'm in my last trimester of pregnancy as well, so I was skeptic on driving there in the first place but this apt was for my baby shower! Jaci sent me a reminder text regarding the apt the night before. I confirmed. As I'm approaching GF, I received a text from Jaci stating she feels unwell half an hour before the apt and wanting to reschedule to the next day.. I told her that's unfortunate as I could understand her situation. But with it being so last minute and her confirming the apt was a go the night before.. cmon. I tried requesting a later time in the day until she feels better, I was willing to do some shopping and visit a friend while she gathered herself. But she seemed adamant on staying home to rest. As I can understand feeling sick unexpectedly and how it can cause inconveniences, the appointment was scheduled a month out. And was also spoken about the day prior. Maybe it's just the hormones but definitely experienced my first pregnancy rage moment (:

Jaclyns response was well you should have called me right away and if you want it redone I can redo it for 1/2 price. No Thank you. Then I called the Studio and they told me they are not responsible. I Asked for owner to call me and no one called. I will never go back Studio South has lost my business.

I'm feeling very indifferent right now about this place…read more We went here on a whim since others were booked. For a nail salon, They rejected almost everything we asked for, saying "We don't do that!" Please let me state that we are VERY low maintenanced. My daughters and I have been to several nail salons and get serviced regularly on our manis and pedis. We aren't the demanding type. I asked her to paint a flower on my big toe the same color as my smaller toes. The picture below shows what she did. It was orange not pink. My daughter, who never gets upset or fusses about anything, was livid after we left. And that says a lot!!! Conversation with one of the guy technicians was awesome. He was a very pleasant and awesome to talk to. One other women that finished our pedis was fine. The one lady that did our nail art acted like we killed her dog.......

Good service and great color options! I went to the place with the best ratings on Yelp first but…read morethey were kind of unfriendly and didn't have any openings for a few hours. I noticed there was this place just a few driveways over and decided I'd have to go in and make the judgment call from there. Well I'll be! This place is completely underrated! They offered me and the others inside a soda or a water while we were having our services done. When I arrived there were two customers being worked on and the male technician was happy to answer all of my questions about the various services. I was excited to see all of the great color palettes they had available! I didn't know much about the dip polish so he explained it to me and I decided to finally go for it. He let me know it would be a few minutes wait if that was okay. Within ten minutes another nail technician came over and set to work removing my old shellac gels (one nail had broken so it was time to get them redone!) Once that process was complete she set to work on my dips. I was so fascinated by the process and by how the nails looked afterward. I absolutely love them!

I had a sea salt treatment for only $10 more. I was so happy I did it. And the hot wax too!

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.

I 10/10 do not recommend this place. I went there yesterday and they were nice to start off with. when she was putting on my fake nails she didn't size them out. my nails were a bunch of different sizes. then would be on her phone (cell phone) not the business phone for the majority of the time, which i felt was odd and kinda of rude. then from that point on i knew this wasn't going to turn out good what so ever, and i was right. she cut them short when i said i wanted them long. she added way to much gel to my nails to get the nail hard, she made my fingers bleed and when i would tell her it was sensitive she said "okay" and continued to do it. all my nails were filled uneven and a few were crooked, one of the things that irritated me the most was she painted my nail and a dry piece of nail polish went on my nail and she took her finger and wiped it off then redid it then she painted it again and went right over it with a clear coat and messed up the paint again and i told her about it and she didn't say anything and continued painting. she also didn't wipe off any of the dust and my hands were very dry. i stop saying things because she seemed like she didn't care anyway. So i go back today and tell them i want a refund and to take them off and the same lady comes to me and tells me that i should have told her that when she was doing them and started to get rude and was like "i spent a long time on them", (she rushed through the whole thing) i told her i wanted them off and my money back and she kept saying that i needed to tell her it wasn't right and she would of done them but if it was already crappy the first time no way i'm going back and redoing it for it to be sloppy again. she brings me to a chair, puts my hand in bowls very roughly and walks away, leaves me there for 30 mins without saying anything. my hands are super dry from sitting in nail polish for almost an 40 mins. then i said "how long do i have to wait" and she came over and filled them down a little bit and said "that's all i'm doing for you, here's your money, i hope you never come back" keep in mind there was a good amount of people there and i said "trust me, i wont." and walked out. i have never felt so disrespected by someone. if i'm going to give you $40 for nails i expect them to be good. here's some pictures when i got them done and after when she told me to leave. read more

3 of us got pedicures and 2 of us got manicures. My "massage" for the pedicure was hardly even a massage, lasting maybe 1 minute each foot. They cut all of our toenails super short. The guy doing my moms pedicure cute her toe and it hurts for her to walk. Then on to my manicure. He put on fake nails and i didn't even ask for that, so that brought the price up by $30. Also, on one of my nails i wanted full sparkles and he barely put any. My mom was the other one who got a manicure, he got paint all over her hand and the paint wasn't fully on the nail. There were smudges in the first 5 minutes and you could see the nail through the paint. I do not recommend going there to get your nails done. Definitely not worth the $160. read more
