Yesterday, my husband and I visited Elite Nail and Spa and had such a wonderful experience. Holly did my nails, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She was very patient and truly took the time to listen to all of my requests. After that, she suggested a design that would suit me even better. When she finished, I felt like my hands looked completely different -- so much more beautiful and elegant. I absolutely love them! My husband got a pedicure, and he really enjoyed it as well. He felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here a few times so I feel it's ok now to write a review. The only person who has made my nails look really good with excellent service is Kathy. She's super sweet. I've had 3 different women do my nails / toes afterwards and it felt rushed and the cuticle is cut to where my finger hurts. The shaping was ok overall and I will continue to come since it's close by my house. read more

I almost don't want to write a review bc I don't need it to get more busy. But I recently just found this place and I'm soooo happy I did! I just went back for my second time, and I again, love my nails. Can't remember who I had the first time, but the second time I got Dao for a gel mani and regular pedi & she did amazing. One of the main reasons I love this place is bc I don't feel pressured to buy a more expensive package. I've gone to the same nail salon for years in a popular shopping center in Santa Clara & they had the habit of pressuring you to choose a more expensive package, and wouldn't take a #1 for an answer. Here, I can say I would like the #1 package and no further questions or bad attitude. Overall place is super clean and all the nail techs are so nice. The first time I went, I had to go back bc I messed my toe up and they happily fixed my toe in the midst of a busy salon. Happy I found my new nail place!! Also very reasonably priced!! read more

I came here after a friend recommended it and was very happy with both the service and the final result, especially given how affordable the pricing was. Andrew did my nails and was quick and efficient, and he patiently talked me through the process since it was my first time getting a gel overlay rather than regular gel or dip. I'll definitely be back! read more

I stopped by Elite Nail Spa 2 during my lunch break for a fill. The shop is large and wasn't busy at all, which was great because I was seated right away--perfect for a quick visit. While I can't say I love how my nails turned out, they're decent and will do for now. I think the experience really depends on the nail tech you get. That said, they offer a wide range of services, so this could definitely be a great one-stop shop if you find the right person for your style and needs. I'd consider giving them another try to see what else they can do. read more

The owner Andrew is very nice; they get new colors coming in once a while so you don't get bored by the same colors. Place is clean and pleasant; Love the pedicure with foot massage! Easy to get appointments, I almost can get a spot right away every time! read more

Great service, great price , clean and you get a discount for paying in cash. Would def come back.

2 stars for customer service, 4 stars for skill. I usually go to Holly for gel nails. While her work is generally good (though the quality can vary a bit each visit), she unfortunately has no sense of customer service. During my last appointment, I asked her a few simple questions and each time she responded in a rude, dismissive tone. When I'm paying over $100 a month and driving more than 30 minutes from Saratoga, I expect a more professional and courteous experience. On top of that, the salon itself often looks messy and not very clean -- something I really hope they improve. For now, I'll be looking at other salons. Unless the staff attitude and cleanliness get better, the long drive just isn't worth it. read more

This salon pricing is on the higher end, but results do NOT match pricing. I used to come here regularly when they first opened in 2021-ish, but I would always get the owner (male) and his work is probably worth the price. However, this last experience, I likely will not return as there are too many other salons in the area, including the original Elite nail salon off of Scott Boulevard. Originally came in to do dip manicure which is $50, but was told if I wanted to have my cuticles cut it would be an additional $5 so I opted for a gel manicure and cuticle trim for $45. I'm not sure if there was an animosity that I "downgraded" but see the results for yourself in the photos. Pedi was just as bad. Nails were crooked and uneven and "massage" is not a massage, just someone literally going through the motions and lathering lotion on you. Hot stone is like 10 seconds and she didn't even massage my toes like other places do...or maybe I didn't feel it. LOL I still tipped them because I went into auto pilot but frankly they did not deserve what I tipped. read more

I AM VERY HAPPY. I found this nail place on Yelp and decided to try it because I was in the area. They were able to accommodate me right away. I was helped by Kathy. Kathy is a very nice lady, she works quickly, she is friendly, and her work is beautifully done. I am SO HAPPY with my nails. Kathy shapes a perfect coffin nail, and she did a lovely job on my diamond/rhinestone design. I got both my pedicure and builder gel manicure done with Kathy. She is very talented and very quick. I really appreciated her precision, effort, and speedy time. I got both my pedicure (basic) and builder gel set with diamond/rhinestones done in less than 2 hours. Love it! I was in a bit of a rush because I was getting things done before I head out on a trip and Kathy provided a perfect + speedy masterpiece. This is literally the closest to my nails have ever been to almost complete perfection. I love them! Thank you. read more

Save your money and your TIME!! Go somewhere else!! I've been here so many times trying to give this place a real shot and 90% of the time I've been unhappy. The polish/gel doesn't last or the work is done sloppy. When I'm spending close to $150 every time plus tip to get my nails done I'm hoping that I'll have something that lasts and that looks good. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. Time and time again..which is why I have to give this place this review.. If I complain the owner will have me come back in to get things fixed but it's happening way too often that I have to come back and take more time out of my day when I paid for something that should have been done at the value I paid for in the first place. Not to mention, when I do come back for the fixes the staff talk shit and give me rude looks. read more

I am so upset right now because I was charged extra fees for my cheap Lee press-on nails! The technician didn't use any acrylic; she only applied an ultraviolet light and nail glue for my nails. For my pedicure, I asked for a $55 service but ended up paying $75, which I did not agree to. As for my nails, since they were done so poorly, I thought the design was included, but I ended up paying $80 for that. In total, my bill came to $155! The experience was terrible. It felt like the artwork was done by a beginner. I definitely do not recommend this place; they lack skill. They claimed that because I was on my phone, I wasn't paying attention to them--complete nonsense! It was a total rip-off! Yes, however I was on my phone and you took advantage of that she did not say anything to me about the charges! I will report this to the better business buerue a nd report you! read more

I went here last week for gel with French tips. I really liked Dao! She was very gentle and she took her time so I didn't feel rushed at all. She explained every additional fees if applicable. The only weird thing was some of the nails started peeling the same day... but they got fixed with no fuss a few days later when I was able to go in again. I'm hoping this issue is a one-off, because I really did enjoy my experience here. They have a pleasant and clean space. They have a lot of returning customers so it's a good sign. I will be back for sure! read more

Title: Exquisite Bridal Nails and Exceptional Service! I have been going to Elite Nails for years and they are never failed me just once. I know Holly when she was still at her old salon in Sunnyvale and of course I have to get my nail done with Holly for my wedding. I LOVE my bridal nails and the details with Holly and the team, and I am beyond thrilled with the experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly and made to feel incredibly welcome. My nail technician, Holly, was not only highly skilled but also incredibly attentive to detail. What truly stood out was the level of care and attention she devoted to ensuring my nails were perfect for my big day. She listened attentively to my preferences and offered valuable suggestions that perfectly complemented my bridal look. The end result was nothing short of stunning - an elegant design that garnered numerous compliments from everyone who saw it. Beyond the impeccable nail art, the overall service was exceptional. Holly and her staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort throughout the appointment, and her friendly demeanor made the experience truly enjoyable. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Elite Nails and Holly highly enough for anyone in search of exquisite bridal nails and top-notch service. My experience was nothing short of wonderful, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention to detail that made my bridal nails truly special. read more

I'm a nail girly and I'm very picky when it comes to where I get my nails done and who does my nails. I've been going to Kathy for 4 years now so when she moved to a different salon, I followed her. Trusting her with my nails is basically like trusting someone with my life! She is not only very detail oriented but also quick and she'll make sure you leave her chair extremely happy. My second time coming here, Kathy introduced me to Holly since Kathy was not available. I needed my nails shorter since I was back in school and Holly was very accommodating! She shortened them and shaped them perfectly. I have short and stubby fingers, so normally with shorter nails, my hands look even shorter and stubbier. Holly shaped my nails to accommodate the length while giving the appearance that my fingers look longer and skinnier. She was quick and efficient and made sure I was happy with my nails! Overall I found my new favorite nail salon! It's big, roomy, and VERY clean! I've never been too picky or cared much about massage chairs, but their chairs take comfort to a next level! The scrubs and cuticle oils they use smell amazing too! I also love that they're open later so I can stop by during the week after work. 20/10 would recommend this place! Definitely ask for Kathy or Holly! read more

Had the worst experience today at this place. Didn't get my nails done and left in frustration. Had an appointment at 4.30pm and double checked with Andrew (the owner) to ensure he isn't overbooking but oh well, he did. Don't recommend unless you are willing to wait even though you have an appointment. This isn't the first time they are not honoring appointments. Raised it with the owner Andrew last time this happened (25 mins wait with an appointment ; who said this won't happen again). Today, I was told wait was going to be a few minutes and should be done by the time I pick my color. Everytime I asked, few more minutes was the response. He got nervous that I'd leave so made me sit on one of the chairs with my feet dipped in hot water, but noone to attend. Left in frustration after waiting for 35mins. I have been going to this place for years, since the time this place was new and they were trying to get business. Unfortunately, the owner and staff don't care about that. Noone has the courtesy to apologize or communicate how long it will take and if that's ok or ask you to come late if they are running late. Not sure how you can be in a hospitality business and behave so poorly. Never going to this place again. No professionalism, no mannerisms. read more

Love my gelx nails. First time coming here and I am a FAN. Made an appointment and they were ready when I arrived. IYKYK. My natural nails are chewed up from home applied gel. Lena took her time and checked to make sure I was comfortable. I love how they came out and best part is they have not chipped and look great over 10 days later. Great value. Super clean setup. read more

I checked them out last minute because of the good reviews. I will NEVER be coming back, not even if they offered to fix my nails. The nails were so sloppy, even my fiancé commented on how bad they looked. My dip nails are lifting at just one week. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience. The lady who did my nails was a bit older than the others. The entire time she was doing my nails, she complained about how thin and brittle my nails were to the other nail technicians (well, I've been consistently getting dip nails for the past few months so of course my nails aren't 100% healthy). Why did she have to keep complaining over and over again? When she was using the electronic nail filing tool to remove my old dip, she would get too close to my skin and so I would feel burning/stinging and flinch. This happened multiple times. She then complained about how I would flinch and said she was getting so tired of working on my nails. When she started shaping my nails, she didn't ask me what shape I wanted. She just went ahead and filed them. Thankfully she just did the same shape as I had before. She also ended up over-filing them - some of the nails were the length I wanted, some were shorter. All of her constant complaining was in Vietnamese and she didn't think I could understand her, but I did. Imagine sitting there having someone complain and talk crap the entire time. On top of all this, exactly 1 week later, my dip nails are already lifting! It just shows you the quality of materials and how little care they give to doing it right vs just getting it done. With my go to salon, my dip nails last at least 3 weeks. I'm shocked these dip nails only lasted 1 week. I would recommend paying slightly more to go to a higher quality salon with better customer experience. read more

I had the best mani pedi service from my first visit here. Everyone was really friendly and nice, Mimi gave me the best pedicure treatment I've ever had.

Ladies, don't go here and save your time and money. I came here 9:30am for an appointment on Saturday, 5/20/23. I wanted a gel pedicure and manicure. I tried to explain to the lady doing my manicure that I changed my mind and wanted the gel off and I would just get my nails done with color after my nails grow. Two other colleagues explained that to her since her English was very limited. I still got my gel pedicure. An hour and half later after the manager arrived it was time to pay and they charged me $70 for the services I received. Based on the pictures, do you think it's worth $70?! I explained to him that I didn't even get a real manicure. The lady just took the gel off and my nails are too short for anything. She literally just cut some cuticles and rubbed some lotion on me. She even told me to come back in two weeks to get my nails painted when my nails haves grown. There were already other women waiting to get services done so my time with her was quick. The manager said that no one spoke English in the morning and it's still $20 for the manicure. So in short, I wasted $70 for the pictures shown in my review. I'm never going back to this place again. It was horrible service and he wasn't even apologetic or offered a discount for the breakdown in communication. If communication was a problem, then the manager should be present right when the place opens. He's responsible for his employees and does a great disservice to them. To the reply to the manager below: YOU used the lady not knowing English as an excuse when it came time to pay. And the camera doesn't include the audio. If you run a business where your customers speak English, then you should have at least have 1 fluent English speaker present at all times so nothing gets lost in translation. I'm not dismissing your workers, I'm dismissing YOUR customer service. read more

Love love love! I came here for a pedicure and it was amazing! The prices were very affordable, they offer a cash discount, the place was very clean, and the services were great! The pedicure came with a foot bath, scrub, massage and polish. There were massage chairs available and my friend fell asleep because she was so relaxed. The ladies were so nice, gentle and made sure we were comfortable! I would definitely come back again! read more

3.5* First of all, this location is so big and has two entrances! I came on a Friday afternoon to get gel extensions. I originally made an appointment with Holly online, but I think if you don't explicitly say who you made an appt with they just assign you to anyone available. I also don't think what I got was the TAP hybrid gel advertised on the site which is a little frustrating since that's what I made the appointment for. Communication with my nail tech was difficult but it worked out in the end with the aid of pictures. She didn't really push my cuticles back and I see some issues with the alignment of the tip against my real nails as well as webby looking gel on the sides of my fingers. She did take her time and overall did a good job for the 20% off price. I'm not sure I would come back just due to not feeling that they were totally transparent with the appointment process. read more

My favorite go to place for a pedicure and facial. Holly does amazing work when it comes to facials and the staff are kind and efficient. When you need quick pedicure, this is the place to go to. I will advise that you book your facials ahead of time because Holly will take the time to make sure your skin is beautiful. My skin has never looked so good. Vibes can be calming or hectic depending on how many people come in, so if you want to relax, I recommend coming before 4pm :) read more

Been coming here for a year now, and always super happy with the service and attention to detail! I also love that they do Gel-X here (and do it well) for when my natural nails are short and I want to feel a little more spicy. You can't go wrong with any of the nail techs here either. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. They also have an amazing assortment of colors and chrome options! Their pedicures are also great and super thorough. And ofc all the services come with a massage. read more
