    Full set fall nails
    Jackie S.

    Love this nail shop! Ive been coming here for 10 plus years and getting my nails done by My. Both her and her sister lynn are so sweet and do amazing work. I live in Chula Vista but will always make the drive to kearny Mesa. Love this nail shop!

    A little shine

    Loved my nails and pedicure, thank you so much! Great experience, relaxing massage chair, always good service.

    Perfect natural looking nails.  And they'll grow out so nice that no one noticed the gap after 3 weeks.

    I don't always get my nails done but, I wouldn't regularly go to anyone else except Lyn. I've known Lyn for about 20 years and have come to her on and off for about the same amount of years. The salon is a bit out of the way for me but, she always does a fantastic job at an amazing price. I have oily nail beds and can go about 3 weeks when Lyn does my nails. I love natural looking nails!

    Lynn was recommended to me and I finally went to see her. My regular nail girl was booked. Lynn didn't have the nail powder color that I use, and ended up having to use a polish but that was ok. I enjoyed my conversation with her, and the quiet environment. Not once did she take her attention off me and carry on a conversation with her coworkers in another language which is something my "go to" nail girl does. My nails are not exactly like I wear them, but i will definitely go back to lynn when in a bind.

    What does and up mean?? That's not exactly a price list if you don't lost what the add ons would cost

    I can't even leave a review because I refused to have a service We walked in no appointment my bad but we were hardly acknowledged A woman was told to swipe her own credit card which idk maybe she was a regular But another woman got waxed at the table while her nails were drying That's not ok! How does anyone know that is sanitary or fresh wax ? And what about privacy Working in the industry I would never accept that nor trust it The reviews make them seem amazing but service and almost empty salon led me to believe different :/ Sorry

    Ask for Nina, you will be happy. She is super nice & can do anything you want. Full clientele so just call her, if your lucky she will get you right in:)

    My friend had recommended coming here because it was so cheap. It's $25 for a full acrylic set. I called in earlier a head of time to see if I can make an appointment. I specifically requested for Nina, since it seems like most of the good reviews is with her. They said Nina had an appt at 6 and if I can make it at 5:30 she could take me in. Which was quite surprising since 30minutes is not a sufficient time frame to do a whole set. So I came in anyways, it was super slow on a tuesday evening. I wanted to get my old set completely taken off and had a new one put on. Nina and her niece each worked on each of my hands at the same time to remove the nails. Nina worked diligently and fast, but her niece was hurting me and kept stabbing my skin. It was obvious that her niece was a beginner, which I don't think she should have allowed her to help with such a task since we all know that acrylic nail removal is painful in itself. But overall, the results of my new set, some fingers are slightly a bit thicker than others, and I requested for coffin shape, and the shape size is a bit inconsistent too. I mean it doesn't look bad, but its definitely not perfect.

    loooove this place. My always gives me what I want and she always recommends the best colors. I'm satisfied every time.

    Gel polish coming off within hours

    I came here for the first time and most likely the last time. I walked in at around 10/10:15a. Service was great...I was greeted and sat right away. I got a gel manicure. The nail technician was real nice and very friendly. My issue was with the final product. Even though she was a super friendly lady, she put too much nail polish on which left my nails thick and "bloggy" looking. The polish dripped over and while under the uv ray light it dried that way therefore, the nail polish peeled off within a couple hours! I didn't think nothing of it until I saw that it was already coming off. I love the color and wish she had done a better job. I posted 3 pictures so hopefully they were clear enough to see what I'm talking about.

    Perfect shape, perfect color, perfect perfect!

    MY NAILS LOOKED SO GOOD!! found this place on yelp and super happy with the experience I had from the second I walked into the store to the second I left. So amazing. Nina did a great job! I paid $25 for a new set WITH GELL! That is unheard of. I got am very picky about the shape of my nails, but she hit it spot on! I will be coming here every time now! PLEASE VISIT THIS PLACE! ASK FOR NINA

    Loved how my nails came out, took about 40-50 min. I recommend call and make an appointment, even the day of is fine to check their availabilities. The price was reasonable, and really not that high (affordable). Recommend getting ur nails done here .

    i've only been to elite Nails a handful of times but every time I've come is been so amazing. This is my go to nail Spot. This nail shop is a little hidden in Clairemont but it is a gem. I'm not one for setting appointments so i usually do walk ins. Even so, it's never too overwhelmingly busy. However, i do recommend coming in before the Lunch hour because the parking lot gets filled fast. Not only do they do them well but they do it for such a good price. I had a full set with gel for only $25.( Not including tip) Today i had Nina and she's such a sweetheart. She was real personable and fast. She did an amazing job with my nails. This was the first time I've ever gotten them shaped stilettos and to be honest i was scared at first. I've always had them shaped coffin but now these are my new favorites. They look great! i look like baddie with these nails. Highly recommend Nina

    Acrylics with whole color!

    The salon was clean and the staff was friendly; however, I felt like they rushed with my pedicure and manicure.
