    I would give ZERO stars if I could. This was the absolute worst nail experience I've had in my life and I've gotten my nails done consistently for years. First of all, Trish soaked my dip nails in acetone for over 45 minutes, leaving them in a tremendous amount of pain. When she actually did do my nails, she cut my cuticles until they bled and every nail came out crooked. I came back to tell her I was beyond unsatisfied with my nail shape and she proceeded to tell me that I said it was okay the night before. She took no accountability and was extremely rude. Overall TERRIBLE service and TERRIBLE nail technique. I got charged $70 for the absolute worst possible manicure. Save your money and your nails and go somewhere else.

    Beautiful environment at Elegant Nails

    While relaxing in this beautiful, spotless oasis of relaxation, I looked around and thought I'd share my experience here. I've been coming to see Triss for almost five years. She's backed by a great team led by her pooch Bambi, and including Ted, Timmy, and Holly. I come in for biweekly mani-pedi. But mostly I come here for the kindness and professionalism, and soothing environment, that Triss and her team so amply provide. Men have nails, too, and deserve the kind of thoughtful care that is provided at Elegant Nails.

    I have been coming here for over a year now and I'm never disappointed. Quality is always a priority for Triss along with making sure I always leave happy. Her attention to detail is impeccable, making her service top-notched. It's clear that she is passionate about her work. Her positive attitude and welcoming smile are what bring me and customers back. I recommend my friends and family to come here because I trust her and her expertise. I have asked her to do my nails for my engagement, engagement shoot, and soon-to-be wedding.

    My 2nd time with Triss and she never disappoints! I love the staff, they're so nice! Triss did an amazing job on my nails and I got so many compliments on them Thank you so much Triss! Will definitely come back again!

    Acrylic dip gel mani

    Absolutely beautiful dip gel mani by tris! My nails were too short to get the look on my own so we started with acrylic tips. The colors, length, shape, and application all turned out perfectly! Exactly what I was looking for before a fun weekend in MX. Thank you!!

    Triss is the absolute BEST! She gave me exactly what I asked for and made me feel beautiful! She's kind and doesn't make you feel bad about asking for complicated nail art. Very talented nail tech, and I will be going to her again in the future.

    Tris does what she has to do every time! she ate these nails up. the money is worth it. i've been coming here for a couple years.

    Neutral pink jelly-like nails, exactly what I wanted

    WOW. First of all the owner and her husband were so sweet and attentive. She stayed past closing time to make my nails perfect. She introduced me to the hybrid/builder gel TAP brand to achieve a jelly-like look. It cost more but it will last longer and the results are beautiful.Triss was so attentive to detail, filing and shaping, and turning my hands every which way to make sure she was filing even and ensuring the gel wasn't too thick. She brought me a holder for my iPhone when my kids called to FaceTime me and she and her husband chatted with me about neighborhoods and schools. And their sweet little dog Bambi was a bonus. Thank you Triss I'll be back!

    Matte dip nails

    First time I've been to a nail salon since idk... 2019? Anyway- I was in dire need of a mani + pedi. I really appreciated how Elegant Nails had all the proper barriers between the technicians, you, and other clients. They have you wash your hands as soon as you walked in and they keep the door open to increase air flow in the salon. I felt so at-ease with all these precautions. I got a pedicure and matte dip nails. I'm obsessed. They look perfect! I always try to achieve this look with just a matte top coat and it never lasts. I'll definitely be back to Elegant Nails!

    Triss and Ted have become like my own relatives. Their level of hustle is next level, and the way they treat each other and their loyal employees is commendable. I say this as it's what has me driving over a half hour each way to their sanctuary of a salon. Sitting there for a couple hours every month has led me to several observations: 1) money and class are not necessarily related (talking to some of the Marina types but not all - during the height of the pandemic please do not ruin the experience for others with a phone conversation with your crappy boss while your mask is down) 2) time is important. If you are a picky person and want something extraordinary (like nail art), come during the morning or early afternoon on a M-Th weekday. It's much quieter and pleasant. 3) empathy is sorely missing. The Tran family have invested in a beautiful new salon. Their prices are competitive and fair. If you can, please bring cash so they don't have to pay horrible fees to the credit card and Venmo companies. They really appreciate it. 4) this is where you come if you want a proper mani/pedi that will last. If your skin is sensitive (e.g., want to leave your cuticles) or you want things done a certain way, be clear and speak simply through your mask. Pictures help, too. 5) please tip well! If you are in a position to get your nails done, budget for a respectable tip. If you must use your credit card, consider adding an extra 5% to help offset their fees. Much love from Cilla aka Mimi

    This review is a long time coming. Perri severely messed up my eyebrows. Lashes too, but those are…read morebetter now. I visited back in May and did a brow lamination and tint, and lash lift and tint. I have had this service done at several places before without issue. Upon leaving I thought it was different than i had done it before and maybe just needed to adjust. Idk. On further reflection she must have switched the products or burned them somehow. Half my eyelashes were kinked. Yes i followed aftercare perfectly. Then my eyelashes fell out and at some point were itchy and my lid was swollen. I'm not post photos but have them, and she has seen them. My eyebrows also were like hard and wouldn't move. Later they started falling out too. She gave me a full refund when I send her pics. But this is before everything started falling out. I had to buy a lash serum to grow them back. And then in August I started noticing that my eyebrows were falling out. I thought they were shedding normally and going back to blonde. NOPE! They weren't growing back at all. I went to the dr and it is 100% because of what she did. I now am using rogaine to regrow them. It's taking forever and she also refused to pay for product to help grown them back. It's probably going to be another 2-3 months of me looking awful because of Perri. Have the Holiday you deserve.

I'm very blonde and wanted to go one shade darker (dark blonde) and I left purple. I explained in detail what I wanted and what I didn't want, and it turned out even worse than what I didn't want. The tint was also incomplete and left me with half dark, half blonde hairs. I left looking like a monster.
