Althpugh it was a little pricey, I went to get my nails done today and they look great. My technician was a young woman who did a great job read more

Elite Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I stopped by today at 6:54 pm to get a manicure and pedicure. Several employees chatted amongst themselves then a woman came forward to say I asked around no one wants to do it--everyone wants to go home. I simply left without a word. There are plenty of options in the nail industry. Here, I will say, that unless you have an end-of-day cutoff time for customers I should have been serviced. No worries. I'll take my business across the street, or two blocks south, maybe three blocks west, how about 5 blocks north, or 4 blocks NE. I think you get the picture. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. They rush and they are rude.. they pulled me in the middle of getting my nails done so I can pay... it's so rude! Normally you don't pay until you are satisfied... if I could I would give you zero stars read more

came here on Saturday 11.24.18 to get a No-Chip, the guy who took care of me did a HORRIBLE job because two days after my nail color was chipping OFF? I will NEVER go there again! Whatever price anyone pays for anything TRY TO DO A GREAT JOB, so customers are HAPPY & KEEP COMING BACK!!! Don't just rush & do a horrible j9b! read more

DO NOT GO THERE. They are rude, especially the girl I had with large glasses. My nails are bumpy and rough, uneven, and the tips of my nails feel like gravel. read more

I can't even give this place a single star. The polish I chose was so old it chipped and cracked on all 10 nails on my hands. I returned and showed the manager, who wouldn't give me a credit or comp. She was RUDE. Don't go! read more

I have advice for the owners, I know that you like me love your native language and thats awesome because I speak spanish and love my native tongue also. But if you speak english and you are around those people who keep your business afloat, why not speak in english so that it is comfortable for everyone around you. It is very non professional to be working on someone's nails or toes and be yelling across the room to other employees in a language no one can understand beside you and your employees, in addition, the worst thing in the world for a customer is when you all break out in laughter for whatever reason and the customers sit there feeling like its directed at them, (Even if its not). There is a golden rule in America that states, treat others how you want others to treat you, try it I grantee you your customers will be happy and your business will grow. This is just a suggestion. And oh, I understand that our native tongue is precious like I said I two languages myself, but professionalism goes a long way. The reason the nail salon on North an Harlem has lost so many customer is because of this issue I just described and they were unclean, I know I am a former customer of theirs. We have another saying in American, The ball is in your court. Meaning its up to you to change or not. read more

New owners are amazing! I had a chrome pedicure yesterday and I just didn't like the finished product. I couldn't stay and I came back today and Yao redid it no questions asked! She is amazing! She always does my dip manicures and they are flawless! I highly recommend this location. I came here when the previous owners were here and the experience is totally different. These owners treat you well, they care, and they know what customer service is! Cleanliness is very important to me too and they are all over it. This place is a must go to! Thank you Yao for always making sure I leave happy! read more

When they first opened it was a nice experience. I still think the place is clean and bright. The problem I found is when they gave me one of the younger guys who 1. Burned my nail with the dremel tool taking polish off. 2. Patted my legs twice with a hot cloth and called that a massage. I have had good work here. Cindy was great. If I go again I'm not having the young dudes provide service again. read more

I went to elite nails to get a service which was a pedicure. The nail shop is clean and the people are somewhat friendly the prices were not discounted but I decided to shop there anyway. I was very disappointed three days later at the polish coming off three of my toenails. What a disaster I wanted my pedicure to look nice for the upcoming surgery that I was having I didn't want to worry about anything and now I have ugly feet I even tipped what a shame I may as well done it myself. read more

I had a pedicure and they did a very nice job. Very clean and all set up with separations between the stations for COVID precautions. They are taking appointments now. read more

I have been coming to this nail salon every 2 weeks for almost a year. The salon is clean and the staff are alright. Never very friendly, but whatever. Yesterday, I got my usual pedicure and no chip manicure. I chose a chrome upgrade for an extra $12. The color was kind of a cross between silver and gold. It was whatever #2 is on their sample nails. She did the base black and after the chrome powder, it came out very silver. After explaining that wasn't the color I chose (she tried to tell me In fact it was). I asked her to bring the samples back over. When she did and I showed her my nail next to the sample it was clearly different. After a half apology she decided to take off all the no chip that had already been done and redo it stating it was supposed to be a white base instead (clearly their mistake). I was like well I am not going to pay the extra $12 for this. To which they still insisted that I pay. Fine. They redid the nails which took an extra 30 minutes. With the white base. Silver. Again.are you kidding me? Then she tried to tell me it was the same color. What a joke? No apologies whatsoever. Horrible customer service. There's a nail salon on every corner. You would think they would try to keep regular customers happy? read more

Just like that it went downhill! I asked for kelly and got a dude. Omg he was horrible! Had to tell him multiple times to trim my cuticles, he didn't clean under or around my nail and my biggest pet peeve, when the polish doesn't go all the way to nail edges! Yeah you, bald dude, you suck. Not coming back . read more

Elite Nails - Kelly is not playing around! No chip manicure and spa pedicure! Love! - Nail Salons Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been here a couple of times. Why I come back is beyond me at this point. I know it's the technicians job to try to up-sell you but they are terribly pushy. When you don't upgrade your mani-pedi they give you an attitude. Then they rush you if you don't have cash to tip. When I was there the last time there was no signage that you cannot tip on card. They got upset when they told me this. Lectures me about 5 minutes about this. Told me to go to cvs and get cash out of atm to tip. Rude! read more

Don't waste your 10 minutes of the worlds fastest manicure. They don't take their time to do a decent job. I was very disappointed by how fast the manicure was. They don't use cuticle oil. And they didn't take the time to make sure my manicure was done well. My nails weren't cut to the same length which is the most basic part of a manicure that should be done. As for the pedicure it was ok. First my nails weren't cut to the same length. The polish was on part of my skin, which caused him to miss part of my nail bed. They didn't use toe separators, they used paper towel, which caused my nails to touch my skin and smudge. Their prices are expensive for the job they did. I definitely won't be coming back. I recommend finding another place in the area. read more

Worst place ever. Got a pedicure and no chip manicure and within 3 days all my nails were chipped then by day 7...4 of my nails had just peeled right off. Worst manicure ever such a waste of time and money...same your money and go somewhere else read more

The girl who did my nails did them so horrible idk if she was rushing to do them. But my nails had lines in them from scrapping the acrylic read more

Came for a no-chip mani and spa pedi. A lady did my manicure and she filed the corners and ends of my nails at an angle on some fingers and round on just one side on others. I decided I would just get a regular manicure because I want the polish off some so I can reshape my nails myself. I was so disappointed. I really wanted Ray but I didn't make an appointment and he was busy. He was able to do my feet and he's just so professional and great at what he does. I will keep coming back for him! read more

Got a gift certificate and had a lovely pedicure. I added the salt scrub and massage and I highly recommend. Price is super reasonable, it is very clean and I will be back. It is super convenient for me. read more

The manager at this salon decided she would reply to my comment (read below). She is a liar, unprofessional, money grubbing, and lacks customer service. I did call her on my way in to the salon, FOUR days later not 1 week, mentioned I was on the way and my nails were chipping. Regardless, if it was 2 days, 4 days, or 7 days later, or whether I called or not- she should've taken the time to redo my nails properly but she's not a professional. Yes, I asked her to remove all the polish, it was chipping, all of it. I didn't want her to simply polish over chips and peeled nails. My expectations were too high for this place. And the sanitizing stations are hard to see but I guess they are there, all three of them. I am disgusted with the manager and this place. No stars would be given if that was an option. read more

I don't know what all these bad reviews are about because they were fabulous! I only give reviews when I'm really happy about a place, so here you go~ read more

Came here over Easter weekend and got a mani pedi with my mom. My Mani was great. They have a lot of colors to pick from. My nail tech did a great job. My pedi was fantastic. Ray did it and he gave a great massage and it was just the regular pedicure. Prices are very reasonable and there's plenty of parking. They seem to take pride in cleanliness of the stations and the tools. read more

The nail tech made me fight back tears till I was safely in my car to cry. I am not hard to please & I do not require above and beyond, ass-kissing, customer service- just basic human kindness, please. I've been here before & never had a bad experience. I was planning on making this place my regular location but now maybe not. Anyways, I went in today to get a new set of acrylics at 10am today. I was LITERALLY their first customer of the day. I walk in, am immediately sat with a technician. The appointment starts off fine, she confirms what I want & starts taking off my old acrylics. There was only 3 clients in the place by this time but I noticed that the other girls that didn't have clients keep hovering around her in particular. There was a girl sitting at the station next to us that chimed in during my clarification of services. Having learned from past mistakes I learned to bring in pictures of what I want, so there's little to no confusion on what I want. So I had those ready to go & by the time they asked me what colors I wanted I was ready. I wanted diagonal French tips with only daisies on 2 fingers (again showed pictures) I asked if this was ok & if she can do it, she says yes. She starts putting on the tips & powder, one tech sat there till she was about 3 nails in & they were talking in their primary language...but I could kind of tell that the girl sitting down was coaching my tech based off her body language, gesturing, and tone of voice. This is the first time I have had this tech or seen her, so I do not know if she's inexperienced, new to this place, or if this coaching was unwarranted but either way I could tell my tech was getting frustrated & annoyed by it. I ignore it because I have no idea what's being said & I trust the process. Finally the "coach" gets up & leaves & I can see my tech visibly relax. She does a fantastic job on the length, shape, & thickness of my nails but it took her over an hour (normally a fresh set takes 45 minutes-ish up to the polish portion). I didn't mind, I wasn't in a rush but I could tell she was & she was growing irritated. I want to include there is/was nothing difficult about my natural nails or what I got (medium length, coffin shaped, acrylics). Now, she started with the daisy nails which were a struggle for her, she had to redo them about 3 or 4 times & I started feeling badly for her because we've all been there right? So she gets through those & starts on the French tips. I said I wanted the diagonal French because this is the first time I am getting French tips in a minute & wasn't sure I would like it. Sure enough as she's doing THE FIRST COAT (not second coat or top coat) I realize the diagonal French looked better in the picture because the nails were twice as long as mine & I ask her if she can instead do a v-cut French. Which just means she needs to do the same motion she already did on my nails but on the other side- literally not a big deal. She does this large exhale & slams her arm down that's holding the polish and says "yea, fine". This kind of surprised me because it's not like I decided to change colors completely or do full nail color, so I feel embarrassed for having upset her. Then she starts talking to the girl at the station next to her in X language, in a venting tone of voice & the girl responds in a soothing "just relax" tone. So again I feel extremely embarrassed like I've ruined the whole project & her whole day & it's only 11:30am. This is when I can feel my eyes start to sting & I start to fight back tears. I really wanted to walk out at this point but she's almost done so I decide to just suck it up. At one point she looked at me & did a double take, so I think she can tell I was trying not to cry. But she continues on & gets through another nail or two before another tech comes over & says something , where again my tech starts speaking in a loud, venting tone, gesturing at my hand with her free one & lifting my hand like she wanted to throw it at me. Now I am REALLY embarrassed & biting my lip trying not to cry because all the other techs can hear, I don't know what's being said so I can't defend myself, if I even needed to & I just want to disappear. This tech replies in a similar fashion as the other girl, shrugs it off & walks away. My tech starts to put the polish away & I notice she forgot a portion, so to my dismay I have to tell her this. She sighs again adds the extra design & it looks like a toddler did it but I do not care because I just want to leave ASAP. When she's done, I pretend to have to wash my hands so I can release a few tears, wipe them away, pay, TIP (because I am not a dick) & hightail it to my car where I can cry freely. Can't decide if I will never go back or if I will just avoid this tech like the plague. I can't confirm I was being spoke badly on or if the tech was talking about something different but either way, every time I look at my nails I think about how terrible I felt/was treated read more

The place is beautiful. I went for a mani pedi and my technician (I think her name was Sissie) was really nice and very thorough. However, the quality of the nail polish was terrible. The polish was chipping from my nails the very next day! I chalked it up to doing the dishes but then the same polish was chipping from my toes by the end of the week. I'll go back because I Liked the customer service from Sissie, I'll just take my own polish. read more

Terrible service... don't come here at all.. they rush through everything and all they care about is the money... they pulled me out of my seat in the middle of getting my nails done so I could pay... this is the worst place ever. I will never come here again read more

I want to love this place so bad because it's close to my home and it looks beautiful on the inside but I'm not completely convinced. On 2 different occasions I had to completely remove my acrylics because my nails were turning black! This has never happened to me in 10 years of getting my nails done until I started going here. It's actually scared me from getting my nails done ever since. This is the longest I've been without a mani/pedi read more

I've been to this nail salon twice for a pedicure and both times have been a great experience. I love the polish selection And that they take their time working out your nails. I don't remember the name of the nail tech but he was a male worker. Maybe that helps narrow it down read more

..Wow ! So Upsetting after coming here and being a regular customer I went in today to get my nails and feet done I accidentally dropped a bottle of nail-polish , I said , How terribly sorry I was and they don't even respond or reply , with No problem, Then the girl goes to do my nails with the rubber gloves that were FILTHY that she just had cleaned the floor with , I ask nicely can you please take that glove off , she replies really snotty , you have to pay $5 for the broken nail-polish and continues to start to work on my hand with the dirty glove on. I said No ! Then she and the owner are going back and forth in their language , acting very condescending to me finally saying Next time you'll have to pay if you break a bottle of nail polish. I was in shock ! I said to the owner if you were at a restaurant and accidentally dropped a glass would you be upset if the owner asked you to pay for it ? Cant believe your customer service is that poor ! Very Sad,,,,,,,,,Extremely Unprofessional & Rude ! read more

Ryan does a great gel set & shape new & upcoming place interior is gorgeous very clean however they do cut corners no cuticle oil unless you ask also went straight in with the gel color instead of putting the beginning layer of gel the nail polish job is subpar at best my mom got a mani pedi & honestly I could've done better, would go back for Ryan's shaping of nails but that's about it read more

I went here for a no chip manicure and they were great. Super affordable and prompt. My nails are difficult (I'm in healthcare) and Cindy really did an impressive job.The girl next to me was getting an ombre color on her nails and it was really nicely done. It's clean and upbeat, with TV's and nice chairs. I didn't have to make an appointment but did call prior to coming in to make sure they weren't busy. I'm really happy to have a nail place within walking distance. They are professional and do great work. read more

I did not like this place at all. The woman who did my nails was very rude and even threw a cotton ball at me. And she also over charged me. The price for my nails was 25$ I gave her 40$ and only got 5 back. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I have been coming here for months and I always ask for 3 coats when I do a no-chip mani. The man who was doing my nails questioned my request and complained to me saying my nail would be too fat! He continued on to rudely add the 3rd coat. Horrible customer service. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Toe nail polish does chip. way too soon, second time going, still the same outcome. Their professionalism SUCKS. ‍

14 stations never have to wait.people very nice do very good job. The cleanest salon I have been to in years

I had a bad experience, somehow I got a new person and literately she did my toe nails within a minute in a lousy manner. Then, she was going to do my finger nails and that's when I decided, no thanks. She had to remove my no chip and I was charged $3 for it which is fine, but she even screw that one up. Left all my nails scratchy on the top with nail polish left. I told the owner nicely about my dissatisfaction and she totally ignore me. I told her that will be last time I will be going there and not one word. I guess they don't value costumers there. Very disappointing! read more

Recently went there. Had a girl named Yuli. I will never let her do my mani or pedi again. My pedicure was uneven and she did a sloppy job. She barely massaged my legs and feet.. (they use a timer, but she turned it off before it could go off) The girl next to me started her pedicure before me and Yuli finished way before she was done. Hmmm. After she finished my pedi, she sat me at the manicure table. Waited there for a few minutes. When she finally came back, she looked liked she was in the back eating as she was still chewing her food. Finally she started my manicure.. There were waves in my nail polish and my nails were uneven. She just didn't care. It was terrible service! Very disappointed! read more

This place had very rude service. I was looking to do a mani pedi, so I called 30 minutes before and they said they couldn't take me because they were busy and closing soon. It was 7 o'clock. As soon was it says 8, that's when you close. I still took the chance, and went, and they said I could only do one service, so I left. They had bad color choices too, and looked very worn out. read more

Please do not go here. I've been getting my nails done for years and this place is the worst quality I have ever seen. One nail broke after three days and a couple days later a second one broke. Cheap, poor quality. It's time for my two week fill and I have three broken nails so now I have to get a full set again. Unacceptable! My friend had the same thing happen so it's not just one bad nail tech. Besides the nails breaking, they looked like I did them myself the acrylic was wavy and thick. read more

I really liked this place when it first opened. Was clean, they offered extra services such as foot scrubs and extra foot massages of course at extra price but not too bad. Anyhow they have been so super busy that they rush you in and out after you wait their long. They do not put any salts or softener in pedicure spa and last time I went the water was cold and I had to repeatedly tell them to put warm water. They don't use regular toe separators when they paint your toe nails instead they use paper towels and it does not stay put. Yes you end up messing up a nail. One more thing if you accidentally mess up a nail. They do not remove the polish to redue it. Instead they throw more polish so you end up with extra thick polish. read more
