I went to Elite Nails based on a family member's recommendation. Honestly I was not impressed the first time I went as my nails were uneven and my no-chip gel manicure was chipped a week later. I was told to go back again and was given a couple of names of people to specifically go to. Since then my nails have been perfect every time. PERFECT. My daughter has been there twice and did not have luck with either person. I wish I could give more stars, but because results are inconsistent, I am only giving them 3 stars.

Always love getting my nails done at Elite nails. They are so friendly and always do their best work. I am so happy with my spring nails.

She hit the fan on my toe and left it this way. Polish on skin. Even my husband said my polish looks horrible over all.

First time client and last time client. I showed up to get a pedicure and the lady that spoke to me when I entered was nice and told me to pick out a color. When I sat down she said I can go into the back where they do the pedicures. So once I got back there, three employees saw me standing back there waiting to be told were to sit and all of them ignored me after making eye contact with me and didn't say anything. So I uncomfortably stood there for almost 5 minutes until someone who was walking back and forth finally told me to sit. Once I sat, still no one even acknowledged me and I sat at a chair with the foot bath empty for almost 10 minutes until someone was told they had to take me and you could tell she didn't want to. She smacked my foot to get it out of the bath and started to fill it up without saying anything. Then she smacked my foot again and pointed down as in "put your feet in". She made the water so hot it burnt my foot. When I told her it was to hot she smacked my foot again. Once she saw I was looking at the "menu" she pointed and looked at me waiting for me to tell her what I want. I pointed and she grabbed the menu and walked away. Once she saw the nail polish on my lap she grabbed the nail polish which made me very uncomfortable since it was right by me crouch. While she was working on the pedicure, it felt rushed, and not relaxing, she wasn't trying and never said a word to me and kept hitting my feet when she wanted me to move them somewhere. When she painted my toes it looks splotchy and I have polish on my skin. She took a hand fan to "dry" some of the polish for the clear coat and hit my wet toes and didn't fix it and just put a clear polish over it. I didn't look closely at my toes til I got home and they look like a kid did it and they are messed up from her hitting them with a fan. Looking at the tools she was using, they were in plastic red "fry/fast food basket" and not bagged. Who knows if they were even cleaned. As well as I forgot to mention earlier she was hitting my feet with dirty gloves on from someone else she just finished with before she decided to change them. At the end of the appointment she slapped my feet once again, grabbed my shoes and walked away. So I followed her and once I sat down by the fan she walked up to me, go in my face and said "you pay now" I asked how much and she pointed at a piece of paper and it said $40. Once I took out my card, she ripped it from my hand and walked away. Needless to say, she did not get a tip. I've never been treated that poorly with a nail salon. I will never be going back.

After 5 days, more than half of my nails are already chipped. And all of them are shaped poorly.

Absolutely terrible experience. The employee who did my nails began by arguing with me over whether or not I had acrylics on (which I didn't), so rude and unprofessional and also a little ridiculous to be called a liar. He proceeded to cut my nails I said "a little shorter" and he cut my entire nail off down to the bone I was appauld. I then asked for chrome nails and instead he gave me hologram. So now I have short boy nails with a spaceship like glare to them all after being spoke to so rudely by the guy doing my nails. AND it cost me $45! Icing on the cake? The no chip polish started peeling 2 days later and my nails all started breaking 3 days later. DO NOT GO HERE

I can not say how incredible of a nail salon this place is. The owners are wonderful. The have complementary snacks, tea, coffee, and wine. They make you feel like you are among friends. I absolutely love this place. I won't go anywhere else. They remember my name after going only a few times. They seriously remember everyone. It's such a relaxing and inviting environment. Not to mention the pedicures are the best. They rub your feet for like 30 minutes. It is the best nail salon I've ever been to.

Valerie is amazing!!! She did such a beautiful job and was so great to talk to. Definitely recommend Elite Nails because the staff are incredible and the salon is beautiful. 10/10

This used to be my favorite pedicure spot, but I can't recommend it anymore. My toenails lately have been really poorly painted with bubbles and streaks. However, my most recent visit sealed the deal. I waited in the chair without water for 40 minutes. Then the tech pressed me into getting a heart design on my toes for Valentine's- which I didn't really want but she asked over and over until I gave in. Lordy I wish I hadn't. It looks HORRIBLE. And she charged me $10 extra for the monstrosity. I can't come back after that.

I was in desperate need of a manicure. I went to Elite Nails today and am very pleased. Kathy did a great job. I will be back. The employees are very nice andThe only negative thing is that there is a strong smell of the chemicals in the salon.

They are all so nice and friendly, Vincent and Susanne is the best there is! He suggested getting the dip rather than the regular no chip. The colors they offer are great! I think this will be my regular place

Elite is my go to place for manicures, pedicures and waxing! All nail technicians do such an amazing job and are so welcoming!! I will never go to another nail salon as long as Elite is in business! Suann and Holly are my favorites!!

My nails have never looked better, Sueann is the best, she does dipping powder like no other. The salon is beautiful, they are so friendly offering coffee, tea and water. Great customer service and relaxing atmosphere. No need to ever go anywhere else.

HORRIBLE. I had to have my nails redone three times, and one day later they're chipped. First time she didn't file them like I asked, and cut them way too short after 'fixing it's , then she didn't paint my whole nail. So she 'redid it' by filing away top coat and creating a haze and bubble on all my nails. I heard at least 4 people come in with broken or chipped nails. I didn't think it was that hard to do a no chip polish. Very dissatisfied. Will never go back. I went based on Google reviews, but clearly those are not true. read more

Writing this review to remind myself not to come here ever again! Danny (guy sitting at the station that had name Danny) didn't do what I had asked for and refused to shorten my nails (full set acrylic) after I had asked him to do so. He kept saying longer nails are better! Longer nails are not better for me and the job that I do. The acrylic only lasted me for almost 2 weeks when I typically can stretch it out to 3 and 1/2 weeks! I knew I should have walked out! Wish I knew what the hype is for this place... read more

Will never go back! Went here last week out of need due to my nail tech being out of town. Thought it would be a good experience. The nail tech was impatient with removing my pervious no chip... filed it off and used the nail polish remover to remove it quicker. With that, no chip was still left on my nails from the pervious time and was left unnoticed even during the manicure process. I had to draw her attention to it to have the rest of it removed. Unfortunately, she did not get it all and decided to continue to paint over it. I asked for matted nails and it was not listened to. She also put a clear top coat on that was not for no chip and had me sit under the fan. I needed to tell her that it was not the correct top coat... she removed it once asked... I am going on week two now and my nails are chipping. I paid $45 for nothing! Even the woman checking me out up front asked how everything was and I told her not good. She did not ask any further questions and asked if I wanted to leave a tip. Worst experience with nails!! I never leave comments but thought I would for this. read more

AIN'T NO WAYYY LMAO My sister and I went in for a full set and no chip. My sister got the full set and showed the nail tech her inspo pic. Her nails came out nothing like the pic she showed, shape color size everything. She was given a $5 discount because another nail tech noticed her nails and questioned it himself. I got no chip and also had an inspo pic. Still, mine came out nothing like it. Lines are crooked and nail polish is already coming off. Our nails weren't cleaned either nor did they have us wash our hands before and after. By far the worst experience we've ever had. read more

Called for an appointment, was told that 430 was available. Arrive on time, select my polish and wait. Now I have no problem waiting for a few minutes when I have an appointment. But I keep waiting, 15 minutes past appointment time and nothing. Finally about waiting 20 min they put me in pedi chair. No water in the bowl- nothing. I sit for another 10 minuets and still NOTHING. I've now been in the place for 30 minutes. Geez- while setting there I call another salon and they can get me in NO problem- and they meant it! I don't think I'll be going back here. Even when I got up to leave they didn't offer any sort of apology or anything. If you can't handle the supply and demand- don't open a store or kindly tell guest you are full for the day. With this attitude toward guest they won't be around long.... read more

I love the location of this nail salon. It's sat right next to a pilates studio, tanning salon,…read morecrumbl, and a brunch spot. Super easy to find, plenty of parking always. The staff here is very friendly and welcoming. If they don't have time for a walk in they're very accommodating and do their best to get you in as soon as available. As for the services they provided, everything is very high quality. I typically get a no chip pedicure, and an acrylic set. They do an amazing job with whatever design I request. Plus both are very long lasting. The environment is extremely clean and well maintained . Both mani chairs and pedi chairs are very comfortable. This is honestly the best nail salon I've visited! I love coming here. Highly recommend.

What was supposed to be a relaxing manicure turned into a very frustrating and disappointing…read moreexperience. The technician who initially worked on my nails had to redo them multiple times after the manager pointed out that he wasn't properly filing them after removing my dip polish. Even after several attempts, my nails still looked uneven and poorly done. During the process, he repeatedly bumped into my nails, smudging the polish again--I'm not sure if it was nerves, but it made the situation worse. Eventually, a second technician had to step in and redo all of the work from the beginning. By this point, I had been sitting there for so long that my back was hurting, and I no longer had the patience to go through yet another redo. The final result still looked far from acceptable, especially after multiple attempts. At one point, I was told the polish "wouldn't dry" and was asked to pick a different color, yet after shaking the bottle, they continued using it anyway. Overall, the quality was extremely disappointing. This service is not cheap, and I expect a certain level of professionalism and quality. Despite everything, I still tipped the first technician, but I left feeling embarrassed and upset about how my nails looked. When I returned to request a refund, I was told they could redo the polish again. At that point, I had already sat through multiple attempts and did not want to go through the same experience again. My request for a refund was denied, which made the situation even more disappointing. Overall, this was a very poor experience with both service quality and customer care.

I was greeted at the door and my tech was friendly but seemed more interested in another client…read moresitting next to me. She appeared to be a regular. Even though our techs started at the same time, my pedi was completely done before her nails were started. So I guess it was time efficient? Maybe my feet were in better shape? I don't know. Immediately after she finished my nails, my tech left. She eventually started on that same clients manicure and never returned. I was left wondering how long I was supposed to wait before putting my shoes on. I usually do my own nails but I treat myself from time to time. It wasn't much of a treat. I had a difficult time tolerating the chemical smell that permeated the room but perhaps that is to be expected. The pedi was very basic, little and inconsistent amount of time spent on the exfoliation and "massage" from left to right foot but the nails turned out ok. The salon could benefit from daily upkeep after a good cleaning. It doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling. Looks a little worn for the wear. I kind of felt like I needed to wash my hands when I got home. I was also under the impression that the price on Yelp was accurate but I paid $7 more than expected for the service. If I had known the price, I would have gone somewhere else. They didn't honor the price I saw. That caused me to drop another star.

Elite Nails and Spa is the best thing that has happened to Alqonquin, IL. Sueann and Vinnie are the most gracious owners/hosts....with greeting everyone by name as soon as they walk in to the complimentary snacks and drinks for everyone. Sueann has been doing my nails since they opened in September and they have never been more beautiful!!! She is not only fun to chat with, but so creative, talented, and proud of her work. I have been getting my nails done for years and didn't know perfection until I visited Elite. The pedicure section is impeccably clean and every experience feels like a very high end spa treatment (without the high end prices;) I would recommend Elite Nails and Spa to anyone!!!! read more

Sue was so amazing!! I told her to do whatever she wanted and I couldn't be happier with my nails. I noticed right away that Sue actually enjoyed her job and cared about how my nails turned out, I am so thankful that she took her time to make them perfect. I also had my eyebrows waxed by Sue. I don't have a lot of hair in my brows and she was able to clean them up exactly how I wanted. The salon is clean and stocked with coffee, drinks, and snacks. I really felt welcome there. There was no point in my experience where I felt uncomfortable. I can't say enough great things about this nail salon and I will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely love this place! The people who have left reviews about waiting is silly, they don't keep in mind the place has just opened.. so please don't base your reviews on the negative ones! Owners are very friendly and funny and I absolutely love them, my nails are better than any nail spa I have been to! They even have a snack bar, if you are not an impatient person please check this place out, as I said before they just opened , so trying to find staff can be difficult, but waiting is worth it i promise! read more

I got my nails done at a different place, and they did not turn out anything like I wanted them to. The next day I went to Elite Nails & Spa to see if they could redo them. The atmosphere there is sooo nice and comfortable and so are the technicians! Don took my nails off from the previous place and completely redid them. They turned out so beautiful I am so happy with my results! I loved it there and will definitely be going back! read more
