Still my go-to nail spot in the 757! I am a day overdue for #thankyouthursday2021 but I owe a HUGE thank you to Kim & Quan of Elite Nails who have taken such good care of me, my mom and my aunt over the years (sooooo many years). I've stuck with them because their prices are competitive, they do great work with considerable attention to detail (gel, pedis and brows are my regular selections) and Quan is a riot and always makes me laugh when I come in. I've gotten to watch their own little ones grow up and Kim always asks about my family when I come in. It's easy to get an appointment that works for my schedule and I just love the fact that this local family takes pride in their business and their work. read more

I don't normally get a manicure done but I picked this place because of the good reviews & they were absolutely right! They are very personable and the gentleman that did my nails was very friendly & talkative. I will definitely go back. read more

Elite Nails - All white & perfect! :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Not going to lie, the 5 star reviews had me thinking this might be my new go to nail salon. I made an appointment like another person wrote - for a pedicure and a gel/shellac manicure. When I arrived at my appointment time, both the man and woman were busy with customers. I was asked if I needed help by the man, and after I told him I had an appointment there was silence. Nothing was said after by either one of them. Ok... Not going to be completely upset over that, so I went around looking at the colors and whatnot. Maybe 10-15mins later, the man came over and I asked again about the gel/shellac because the price listings they have on that don't list those services. He confirmed that yes they do do those services and directed me towards the pedicure chair. Now, the pedicure I received was ok. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't the best. They did do some of the portions of the pedicure different than others, but again... Not what got me upset. Now, this man was literally in the middle of painting my big toe, when he got up and switched with the woman. Ok, maybe he had to take care of something is what I told myself. She finished the coloring and brought me over to the table. Here is where things started to get odd... She asked about what I wanted to get done, and made it seem like doing gel/shellac service and getting just a regular manicure weren't something done at the same time. Now, all this time I had gel already on my hands, and not one time did either of them think to wrap my nails ahead of time. When the woman discovered I had actual gel on my nails already, she used the drill to buff some of the color off. Then....she gets a bowl, fills it with acetone and has me hold my nails in it. WHO DOES THAT?! Gel doesn't come off quickly and so proceeded to switch between drilling/acetone bowl/ and a nail file to get my nail polish off. It was a solid color, not sparkles or anything that is a pain to get off. Now during this odd ordeal, two women enter the establishment. They must have been returning customers, because they all knew each other on a first name basis. The lady working on my nails, grabs her phone and calls someone I'm assuming to help since she just started my manicure, two people walked in, and she was by herself. When the husband (I'm assuming now) comes back, he has two kids and it's at this point that the women gets up and moves to the lady who had sat next to me and begins to work on her nails. The lady that worked there didn't say anything, and had just finished cleaning up my one hand and then just leaves me as her husband comes back. At that point, I was just livid. I let the man finish cleaning my nails and then I said I'm done and wanted to pay for my pedicure and half manicure. I've never, ever received poor service like this and never had someone tell me to hold my hands in a bowl of acetone to take the gel polish off. I will never return, and they just lost a potential loyal customer. The joys of moving to a new state.... read more

This is such a cute mom and pop nail place. Very small so make an apt. They do great work and are really family oriented. Super friendly! They seem to have quite a few regulars and do waxing as well. $8 for an eyebrow wax. Two pedicure tubs that are cleaned and sanitized really well. read more

Elite Nails - Full set $25 - Nail Salons Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

One of those hard to find but great nail places where you get super-duper pedicure and friendly service without attitudes. The couple who owns this gem of a nail salon are sweet, hardworking people with great knowledge on manicures and pedicures. My gel manicure is long lasting. My feet thank you for scrubbing them to baby soft! I am a huge fan and you will be seeing me on regular bases from now on! read more

The only reason I'm giving Elite Nails 3 stars is because the older gentleman that did my nails had a fun sense of humor but the quality is not up to par with all the reviews left here. With the price and quality of both the mani and pedi my sister and I had received I wouldn't return again. First my seat massager didn't work and I was ignored about it when I mentioned it to the older gentleman, then when I request he used a different tool instead of the one that he was currently using he ignored me again until my sister spoke up as well. Afterwards they had us move to the nail desks but didn't even put anything on our feet so I had to walk on dirty floors with wet feet. Now we come to the nails; I had asked how long they'd last and he said not very long, so I asked if they'd at least last a week. He laughed and shook his head no and said maybe a few days. Uh I'm sorry but a few days for 45 dollars? I asked if he could do something to make them last longer and he did a gel coat. He rushed my nails and didn't even wait for the white to dry so they had milky streaks in the nail bed area. He didn't even do them right because when my nails were done "curing" in the uv machine and he did the wipe down they were still soft and sticky. He did another coat and uv cure but by this time I was ready to leave and just gave up, paid, and left. Sadly my nails started chipping the very next day and my sisters nails didn't even last 4 days before they were chipped all over. I really wish I didn't have to leave such a bad review since they seemed nice and the rest of the reviews are so positive. read more

My mom, sister, and I came in to get a manicure and pedicure right when the place opened and the wife was so busy so we all 3 had to wait individually to get our nails done and ran out of time because it took so long that we didn't even have time to get our pedicures. The husband was very nice, but we paid to get manicures done and he didn't do anything with our cuticles and didn't massage our hands like a normal nail place would. I don't recommend this nail salon and I will not be returning. read more

I waited no less than an hour in cold water for a pedicure. The nail tech finally came over to start my pedicure and she had attitude the entire time. She kept wanting me to put my foot in uncomfortable positions. Just poor service all the way around. Very disappointed in my relaxing day off. My daughters also got manicures but it was very quick for the price. Plus, they charged me $5 extra dollars to remove gel paint that took her all of a minute to remove because it was just the clear lacquer over regular paint. I would not recommend this nail salon nor will I return. read more

I've been a customer since they opened about 14 yrs ago. Kim does the BEST pedicures and they are the only nail salon I've found that has full set silk nails. Quan is a joker/talker and takes his time to make sure things are done right. Walk-ins are hit or miss as their regular customers KNOW to make appointments. :) read more

very professional and comfortable atmosphere. no teeny boppers experimenting on you which is always a bonus. most importantly they do a GREAT job and you will leave satisfied. I'm a huge critic and i will readily admit that i nitpick over details...because im a perfectionist, and will not settle for mediocre service. I highly recommend this business. read more

Nothing fancy, but the service is great! Kim and Quan do a great job, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and homey. I had stopped getting my nails done due to being disappointed by manicurists who were too rough or did a so-so job. I'm a permanent customer! read more
