Ive been here several times for acrylics, they have always done a great job and have a great selection of colors! today my boyfriend and I went in for pedicures, it was so relaxing and my feet are transformed. Kathleen was very professional and took good care of my feet. also very reasonably priced! we will be back read more

I got a gel manicure. We made an appointment for three people, but they had clearly overcommitted themselves because they didn't have enough staff for all of us and the walk ins. Therefore we ended up waiting around for almost an hour. When it came time for me, the lady rushed and nicked my finger with the drill bit. (You can reference the photo below.) She then proceeded to use paint my nails and use the tools with my finger actively bleeding. The tools were NOT clean so I had to ask her to stop and find an alcohol wipe to clean it off and wait for the bleeding to stop. She then proceeded to use the same tools on the next customer without sterilizing them or switching them out, etc. she was nice and apologized for accidentally nicking me. But the overall lack of cleanliness is not acceptable. read more

Elite Nails - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Very disappointed with the service. I called to schedule an appointment on a Monday for the next week on Wednesday and they sent me a message to come in early on that upcoming Wednesday instead. There were staff who were staring at my friend and I as if we were aliens. For a $42 pedicure...this is not the place. They did an awful job at painting the polish. I don't have photos of my friend's pedicure but you can see how they layered the polish on mine. I won't be returning. read more

See all

I went for a pedicure and was shamed into getting a manicure during which the woman cut my finger with the nail clippers. When it wouldn't stop bleeding she wanted to super glue it. And she charged me $30. If you go be careful. read more

I gave this place another try. Please don't tell me you have time for a pedicure, put my feet in a bowl of water and make me wait 30 min. I asked them to just to say you're busy or to come back later. I asked for a towel to dry my feet so I could leave and they told me to wait. Not super happy read more

Overall experience: Made an appointment for a gel mani/pedi right at opening and the salon was understaffed but fully booked. The owner or manager decided to start my manicure and was clearly stressed about the situation, and was trying to rush through my service. She wasn't paying attention and she cut me three times while trying to remove my cuticles. The last one hurt so bad and my finger wouldn't stop bleeding, so we had to pause the service. After washing my hands/cut (no alcohol was used to sanitize it), the cut finally slowed bleeding down enough so that she could put a bandaid on it. She then resumed to rush through the gel application. I ultimately didn't have to pay bc I was crying from the pain and said I didn't want to get a pedicure anymore. Observations about the salon: dirty manicure countertops and cuticle tools were not sterile or sanitized. read more

Manicure: there weren't many dip color options but ended up getting one i liked nonetheless. I hesitate calling it a "manicure" because there was little to no care to my nail beds or cuticles. Dip was applied, they cut my cuticles, and put some oil on them. That's all. Wasn't super thrilled with the quality of my nails--they feel much thicker than others I've gotten and there are areas that got missed. Their application made my nails look much shorter and rounder than they really are. Not terrible though. My nail tech was super nice! Just not my favorite manicure I've gotten. Deluxe Pedicure: i paid extra for the "deluxe" experience and again, it wasn't terrible. The stone massage, exfoliation, and hot towels felt great! I do wish some more time could be spent on calluses. However, i think that's pretty typical. They had a polish that matched my dip color, which was a cool surprise. Overall Experience: I made a reservation the night before, asking for tips on my nails before dip was applied. I didn't notice until it was too late, but they forgot to do this. I was a little disappointed because instead of long pretty nails i now had stumpy ones. Also, they looked pretty surprised to see me in general.. a smile would've been nice, but not the end of the world. Between the fact that they were surprised to see me and didn't know what I wanted/had booked, I'm guessing their reservation system isn't utilized much past the front desk. Cleanliness: super clean! I enjoyed the ambiance. You can tell their pedicure chairs are old as the remotes for the massage have all the labels worn off. Nothing that i minded much though. read more

Elite Nails - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

I used to love this place but I feel like the last couple times I came in for a pedicure it was very mediocre. My feet didn't feel like I had just gotten a pedicure and they filed my nails to the point of being painful. read more

I'm not the type of person who usually goes out of their way to post reviews on here, but after my experience I knew I had to speak up. I've had okay experiences the past couple times I've visited this salon, but after today I will no longer be bringing my business here. I went in to get a fill as my nails were starting to grow out and I also had a broken nail. Everything was fine until my nail technician started jamming an unused acrylic nail to pry my broken acrylic off. I was in so much pain that I wanted to cry. To make matters worse, my nail tech was really rough when filing/reshaping my nails and even ended up over filing a couple of them. I left the salon with bumpy polish and uneven nails. read more

Elite Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

My friend and I went in for pedicures. We got the exact same service with all of the same features. His pedicure lasted an hour. Mine was over in half an hour. If we got the same thing, at the same price, how was the time this different? The Nail Tech was very clearly trying to upsell and get more money. She said to get the Pearl Spa pedicure because it had a longer massage, then didn't follow through. I will not be coming back. read more

I don't usually get a manicure and I have never gotten acrylic nails before. This is something I decided to do since I needed to have pretty nails for my engagement pictures. After looking at yelp reviews I decided to try this place out. I feel bad for not taking any pictures but this place is very clean and beautiful inside. I felt very welcomed and calm the moment I stepped inside. The owner, Trang, did my and my friend's nails. She was very friendly and helpful. I am thankful she was so patient with me since I wasn't very sure about acrylic nails. She answered all of my questions and the final product looked great. Highly recommend this place. read more

Nice manicures once you get in. Three times we've made appointments only to wait for 30-45 mins upon arrival. We make 2 appointments for one time slot and end going back to back every time we've been here. So, plan about 3 times the amount of time at this nail salon compared to other salons. read more

By far the worst place to ever get your nails done there's only one main technician named Kate and she's very unprofessional The only reason I went here is because they were open on Sunday and I went to get a fill The lady literally put on gel powder and filed it right off my nails looked so thin I hate this place and then have the nerve to charge me over $60 for a fill and they look very plain in for my nails to break off less than two weeks because they were so thin I will never go back there again after I made an appointment to get the nail fixed I was told to wait I waited for over an hour she was very unprofessional when I asked why the long wait she said she was busy and I said I made an appointment and I've been waiting for over an hour she refused to do my nail so I left after an hour wait also I left before I slapped her I will never get my nails done here again this place is very unprofessional how could you have an appointment set and have a customer wait over an hour smh I felt overcharged to get my nails filled I would run away from this place they're very unprofessional in they overcharge and your nails will be breaking off the next day Kate is very unprofessional stay away from her if you don't like Thin nails they will literally put on acrylic and file it off your nails will be very thin and cracked For a very expensive price Plus Kate like to schedule appointments and have her customers wait over an hour read more

Elite Nails - After one week for 60 dollars ahhhh no would never come back to this nasty place again - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

The service was great but when it was time to pay, I was told they don't take credit cards and to use the ATM machine at the front of the store. I requested $200 but the ATM machine only dispensed $120 and then threw an error. My credit was still showing that $200 was dispensed. I alerted the staff who originally told me I had to pay cash and nobody gave two rats behinds about my issue. I later noticed that they had a credit card machine and so I could've paid with my credit card and not have to deal with getting my money back from this broken ATM. Will never return. No signs are posted saying it's a cash only. read more

Buyer beware! I ended up at Elite Nails because they were the only ones open on a Sunday in my area. I needed to have my dip nails taken off and get a gel manicure for my natural nails. I wasn't in the chair for 5 minutes and was regretting my decision. Another 5 and I actually stood up to leave. Don't know what she was thinking, but the girl used cuticle clippers to cut chunks out of the length of the nails and proceeded to TEAR THEM OFF! She was literally peeling away the dip along with the surface layer of my own nail...hurt like a b@#$#!!!. I exclaimed rather abruptly and pulled my hand back after the first one - she apologized. And then she DID IT AGAIN!! I stopped her and said the nails were usually soaked off. Apparently she was: 1. in a hurry - although there were no other customers waiting 2. didn't want to mess up her clothes with the dust that comes off when they use the dremel sander. 3. had absolutely no clue what to do She got up and got the supplies needed to soak the rest of the nails off. She commented that it takes SO long to soak off the nails. Then she commented that she had to put a mask on because it was such a messy process to file them down. Have you ever been BURNT by a hot dremel sander? Let me tell you - that is NOT a pleasant experience. She just commented on it getting hot because the dip was too thick. Instead of just roughing up the top layer of the dip so the rest could be soaked off - she was trying to use the tool to sand off as much of the dip as she could. Ouch. Again. Those sanders heat up when that much pressure is used for an extended amount of time. But hey, let's save some time! On to the soak off process. Out comes the Dremel - yep, she used it to take off the rest of the dip, and used cuticle clippers to yank off the remaining pieces. Finally done with that whole ordeal. The nail beds on the fingers she had ripped the dip from were red and bruised. I kid you not that almost 10 hours later, those fingers are STILL stinging. Typing is not fun, but I need to get this word out so no one else gets hurt! She was very meticulous about my cuticles. She vigorously scraped my nails after letting the cuticle cream sit for a generous 5 seconds. Then out came the formidable cuticle cutters. She, as I mentioned, was quite meticulous. And somehow - aggressive. I left with 3 bleeding fingers. The ONLY reason I stayed for the gel polish was because I had to cover the disaster that had been created by the person sitting on the other side of the plexiglass divider. She had to do even more Dremel sanding of my natural nails to smooth them out enough for polishing since they were chewed up so badly from the initial removal process. I am now pretty much just left with a thin layer of nail that will hopefully grow out before the next year is over. My only thought now is that I PRAY I don't get an infection from the cuts. I washed my hands twice before I left and put antibiotic ointment on the nicks when I got home. So here's hoping. Oh, and the kicker: $50 for that fabulous experience. :( read more

I was visiting Minnesota and came to Elite Nails with a big group for mani pedis. Everything was going great until my manicurist had tools in her hands. She was cleaning my cuticles and cut me a couple of times and definitely explored way more than she should have when cleaning my toes. She asked if I wanted my nails a bit shorter and I said yes... and now my toenail has a super odd shape. Is it a square shape? Circle? Somewhere in between... and the nail was no symmetric. After cleaning my cuticles, she started painting them in the color of my choice and it was super streaky and uneven... She would forget to paint the sides of my nail leaving them uneven... I had to ask her multiple times to fix my nails because she forgot to even them out... Overall, I enjoyed the hand and leg massage, and this place was clean but I won't ever be coming back here again. read more

Last week I got a pedicure from Elite Nails, they pretty much just soaked my feet in water, trim, and paint it. I did not receive a scrub. The tech ran her sponge through the bottom of my toes once and that was it and then moved forward to painting my toes. The following day I went to get a manicure, the tech didn't soak my nails, went straight in and semi filed my nails and cleaned my cuticles. Also a customer came in and requested for a pedicure and asked for price. They priced her at $35 for a regular when they charged me only $30. yesterday my daughter had a filled-gel nails and they charged her $55. thats how much she pays for a full-set. So, I called the salon and ask how much a gel-filled was and the lady on the phone said $45, but they charged my daughter $55. This salon is not consistent on their services, pricing, and customer service. read more

I always have an amazing experience at Elite Nails! Every time I go there, they do an awesome job. Kate's usually the one who does my nails and she is so sweet and actually listens to what I want done and helps me decide on what to do. I've been there quite a few times and I've loved my nails every time! She's always able to squeeze me in and work around my crazy schedule. I've brought a couple of friends there as well and they've loved their nails too! I recently moved to the cities, so I was in need of a new nail salon, and after the handful of times I've been there, I can confidently say that l'll always be going to Elite Nails! read more

Elite Nails - The nails are not crooked, my fingers are just at an awkward angle! - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

It wasn't horrible ... the woman doing my nails was sweet and tried conversing. HOWEVER, when making my acrylics shorter she burned the crap out of two of my fingers with the grinder. They look great but the burning of my skin and the fact that half the nails are shorter on my one hand than the other ... eh. The salon is big and spacious. A little pricier than other place but needed to be done. I don't think I'll be back though. read more

Perfect ombré acrylics! I feel like I'm cheating on my go to place in Los Angeles...but since I was visiting out of town I was desperate.

If I could give a negative number I would!!! I made an appointment for my friend and I for her wedding. She asked us to wait due to being understaffed... understandable... Finally, after about 5-10mins! we were seen, not a big deal! I get it, she said someone was sick, and was sent home!!! It gets worst.... My nails were a bright noxious red. I picked a red closer to moron!!! My friend the bride to be asked for a simple design for her wedding day... Nope, could not do that... so she had them removed it, and do just white polish... they did that... but it came with retaliation... they made her bleed by cutting into her cuticles beyond badly!!! you would think the area was safe, but no a drunk man came stumbling in asking for a service!! I wanted my feet done, but since it was close to 7:30 which is closing time they said no!! I get I was apart of the service industry, but when I was working that career of choice... once a customer steps a front in the door no matter if there is a min left... you have to serve... I would understand if we were walk-ins ... but I called on Sunday to make a appointment for that following Thursday at 6pm!!!! and they were the reason why our appointment was late!! Also she mentioned a tech went home due to a stomach bug!!! Why did you not call your clients to let them know!!! a.) we do not want to get sick b.) we could have found a different salon Very disappointed, seeing they don't prioritize those who make appointments. Wasted time. And a very unpleasant time with the bride to be!!! Hands down a score of -10 read more

Elite Nails - Nails were shaped by another salon! Just needed a fill!!! Terrible service! - Nail Salons Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Do not utilize online booking!!! I used to love this salon. Kate was my nail tech and I didn't trust anyone else with my nails. I was super excited when they got online booking... I booked online the last 3 times and Kate was not at the salon or available 3 times in a row, even though I had an appointment with her. It was a hard choice but I will not be giving this salon anymore business. I just think of brides or people going to prom and wonder what it would feel like to be bailed on when you have an appt. read more

Michelle absolutely SAVED my nails and does an absolutely wonderful job everytime I come in! Very friendly and welcoming; the atmosphere allows for me to be myself especially with Kate leading the way! She is a sweetheart and very good at her job. 10/10 read more

I have given them many many chances as the salon is nice and they do a pretty decent job. Every time I make an appt I have to wait at least 20 mins past my appt time. Today we had an appt for 2 pedicures. They started mine right away but no one started my daughters. After 45 mins of her waiting with feet In cold water she didn't want one anymore. Super unprofessional and Katie the owner didn't even apologize. When I checked out the tech I had asked me to go to the atm to get cash and give her a tip. Not going to give them another chance!!! Done read more

My friend and I went here and got our nails done. we both wanted to get the same thing except I wanted acrylics and she just wanted gel. when she was about to ask the lady to do French tips the lady painted he whole hand red, and then asked if it was okay. The lady responded with "well its to late for that, now isn't it!". My friend had also said that when ever the lady needed her hand adjusted she would yank it closer to her putting my friend in pain. when she was taking her to the nail drying area she grabbed my friends hand right where her thumb was smudging the wet paint. My friend tried to tell her it smudged but right as she was saying it the lady walked away. The lady never even told her how long to sit under the UV light so when she got up it smudging another nail. my person did my nails right but I got my acrylics almost as short as my nails with red French tip and a little silver line under it and that little line ended up costing $15 not to mention the rest of the cost making it ring up to $70 plus a $10 tip so if I could I would give this place a 0 star rating but I can't so I settled for a 1. I will never come in here again, especially not for this lady "Long" ! read more

Worst experience ever. They hurt me and messed up my pedi and told me they were too tired to fix it.

Usually love this place...today not so much. Had to be the worst pedicure I have ever had. Flew through it...did everything half ass(sorry) and it was kind of a total waste of money. After 3 months was looking forward to it...now I wish I would have waited. My 7 year old granddaughter could have done better....sorry. read more

they really took their time and didn't cut short the massaging. super affordable and nice staff. highly recommend

Let me start with the service is great, people are nice and they do a great job on painting nails. However, the application of their acrylic nails is not good at all. Nails starting falling off within three days after getting them done and they should last for a minimum of two weeks!!! For the money ($55), it's not worth it. I would NOT recommend getting the acrylic nails from this location. read more

I read all the reviews here - all said this place is excellent! I made an appointment and they were ready for me on time. I was in for a dip powder manicure. I had beautiful nails - just wanted them a little shorter, cuticles cleaned up, and a new color. What I got was a new color... and nails that aren't even close to square. Oh, and they used the electric file to grind off my cuticles- cutting my skin multiple places. I won't be back. read more
