    Dip nails
    Kelly B.

    Always a quality job here, no matter who does your nails! I have been seeing Ken now the past few months the as I've appreciated his attention to detail. They remember me when I come in, and bonus, you can get boba from next door. :)

    I started my visit with the basic pedicure with gel polish. I arrived 15 minutes early and welcomed politely and immediately. Since covid, customers first step is to wash hands. While my pedicure bath was filling, the staff offered me a beverage. The massage chair is so relaxing, and the water temperature is so perfect. The highlight of the pedicure is the AMAZING massage given by Pam thung, which is the best one I have ever received. She took her time, and it was definitely relaxing. The massage was followed by warm wet towels placed around my calves. After my pedicure, I got acrylics with gel polish. Vy did my nails, and she always impresses me with her talent. She is very precise, and I always leave feeling confident.

    My nails look amazing and my nail technician was kind and skilled. They've accommodated me as a walk in each time I've come. Always a relaxing environment. Thank you!

    I called at the last minute for a same day pedicure. The receptionist said they were all booked for the day. I exclaimed that i have a wedding to go to later today and i need to look good!!! I left my number in case someone canceled. I got lucky. Someone Did cancel and Elite Nails & Spa actually took the time to call me asking me if i like the slot. I took it like a fat kid taking cake. We showed up and the receptionist very politely said "um, we only have one slot so who's going?" I laughed and said i called for my significant other and She's the one that needs the pedicure. A hour later i picked up my girl and asked her about Elite, she was very happy with the service and staff. She also made the comment she would return if we lived here. I never had a pedi so i can't even pretend that i know what to say. I will note the place looked clean and the entire staff was friendly.... and of course, my girl's feet looked ready to go to a wedding with her toenails didd.

    This was my second time at elite nails + salon. They are very gentle when using the equipment. This is big for me me because both my sister and i have very sensitive nail beds. It took around 2 hours for our dip nails, which we did the first time we went. and 2.5 hours for my sisters full set the second time we went. Mine took around 2 hours. They are very sociable and the front desk lady, Macy i believe her name is, is very nice.

    Beautifully done French Manicure

    Absolutely the best nail salon!! Yung gave me a French gel manicure. Best I've ever had! My last two salons said my nails needed to be cut down and apply acrylic nails in order to achieve French nails. Yung said, "Let me look. I have a lot of experience." Sure enough she was able to do just what I wanted. This salon is FRIENDLY and FABULOUS!!! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

    Every T.A.P. Gel nails?? I just recently found out about the process. It's fairly new but Holy…read morecow, it's a game changer! I happened upon Bella Nails after a Google and Yelp search. They are one of a few salons that do this at least in my area! The Salon Not sure how long they've been around, but the people there have only owned it for a little over a year at the time of this review. They were THE sweetest salon I've ever been to! So kind and welcoming and not too busy to help you! I've been to a few other local salons and have felt like I was bothering them or they were annoyed that I said ow when they were basically burning my nail when removing old gel nails. Needless to say, it was refreshing how patient and kind Bella Nails is! Kevin was fantastic and Vivi, who made me feel so very welcome as well. The Process T.A.P. Gel Nails are a blend of dip and gel polish. It took under an hour for the whole process (nail prep to finish). AND THEY CAN FILL THEM!! No more ripping/sanding off old dip to put new on. Also, they are not as thick and look VERY natural! I'm so impressed. I am even more excited to be able to get fills again! I went with a natural color and length. I highly recommend them

I had a gift card to use, and that seemed to confuse when It was time for us to pay. They have multiple options for the type of service to choose from and even though the 3 of us chose the same service, each one was different. The wifi password is youtip20, which I also thought was off putting. Overall, the pedicure was good and service was fine until we went to pay. Nobody seemed to know how to process the gift cards and 5 different staff members got involved and made it all very confusing.

    This place is a beautiful illusion. The interior design is absolutely to die for, but…read moreunfortunately, the service and quality of the work do not match the aesthetic. This was my first time visiting the salon. I was in the area visiting a friend, and we decided to get our nails done together. I requested a builder gel removal and a new set with medium-to-long nails, a French tip, and chrome. I was quoted $60 for the set, $10 for the removal, $25 for the French, and another $10-$15 for the chrome. That's roughly $50 in additional charges just for enhancements, which is already pretty outrageous. I had an event out of town the following day, so despite the pricing, I decided to go ahead and pay for what I wanted. Unfortunately, the technician, who was also the salon manager, could not deliver the look I requested, despite confidently charging me for it. We eventually backtracked and went with something much simpler, and even then, I received one of the lowest-quality nail sets I have ever had. I also requested builder gel, but I'm fairly certain what was applied was Gel-X. The product and overall application felt extremely cheap--honestly, it looked and felt like something that could have been purchased off Amazon. The next day, one nail completely fell off and another broke. I called the salon, and they offered to fix them, which I appreciate, but I live on the opposite side of town, so returning was not convenient. After spending approximately $90 on the service, plus a $30 tip, I was extremely disappointed and unsatisfied. If a salon is going to charge premium prices, the quality of the work should reflect those prices--and unfortunately, it simply did not. The salon itself is beautiful, but the experience was not worth the money. I would not recommend this place based on my experience. It felt like a complete rip-off, and I expected much better quality for what I paid.

I got service within less than 10 minutes of waiting. The workers were so fantastic! They did a such a phenomenal job. I will definitely be coming here more often. They also had you use hand sanitizer after we walked in and also took our temperature before giving us service. Love that. They didn't have more than 3 customers in the building as well for their covid restrictions. I can't rave enough about how awesome this place is!

    DO NOT GO HERE. WORST NAIL SALON EXPERIENCE EVER. If I could…read moregive this place zero stars, I would. I spent $130 here for what was supposed to be my proposal nails a moment I will remember for the rest of my life and they completely ruined it. I called ahead two hours before they closed to ask if they had time to take me and do a quality job. Instead of just being honest, she reassured me she would have time al lies. When I arrived, she rushed me and then made snarky remarks about me to her coworker in her native language after I asked just to make sure and reiterate, but I really hope she has time to finish my nails and that she just doesn't rush me because I felt rushed. She proceeded to talk about me thinking I wouldn't understand (jokes on her, Google Translate exists). The disrespect before I even sat down was unreal. Once in the chair, I was rushed beyond belief. She skipped basic, essential steps in the application process and it shows. The end result is an absolute disaster: The polish is already peeling and chipping off along the edges and cuticles almost immediately it hasn't even been 24 hours since I did these nails The shape and application are wildly uneven, thick and lumpy. The finish looks sloppy, messy and totally unprofessional. To charge $130 for a rushed job, awful customer service and nails that look like they were slapped on in five minutes is highway robbery. They ruined a special moment for me and threw basic customer respect out the window. Save your hard earned money and go anywhere else.
