I got the worst gel manicure EVER here, I'm sure there are some very talented women that work here but unfortunately there is at least one that has no clue what she is doing, and I got her!! My gel manicure was messy and looked like a child did it, my cuticles were hardly trimmed and uneven..I got up in the middle of my manicure and left without paying, I wasn't about to waste my money!! read more

Elite Nails - These are my nails! Amy!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Villa Park, California

I will never go to this establishment again!!! Went here with my mom I got a gel fill and my mom got a pedicure and gel manicure. The ladies are nice but unfortunately they aren't very good nail technicians. For my nails this lady did the whole thing in the dark(no desk light and she was in the corner with the shades closed & the other workers tried to give her a light, but she refused it multiple times) I had to repeatedly ask her not to cut it to short(which she did anyways). My nails are way to short, cricket, and clumpy because she put a clear base coat on my sparkle nails(5 coats of gel). My mom actually took the nail file from the lady because read more

Bummed to be writing this review. I've been going here the last couple years and have been so disappointed with my last few pedicures, but today was a disaster. I meet my friend here once a month to catch up. We've been doing it for the last couple years, and make appointments. 2019 Elite Nails was staffed correctly and the work was perfect. 2021 Elite Nails is complicated. The work isn't consistent, and I only get pedicures. Today we met for our scheduled appointments and both sat down. Immediately someone came and started working on my feet, and after 15 mins my friend asked for the water to be warmed up, because it was cold. No one came back for another 15 mins and my pedicure was finished 10 mins later. The technician that did my pedicure then began my friends nails. It was absurd. Two hours go by and I as I go to pay, I realize my own toes are all crooked and look terrible. Three toes are literally sharp. I ask the tech to fix them and she only made them 10x worse. If they couldn't keep their appointments, they should have told us. Instead everyone was silent, just ignoring us as I grew more and more agitated. We could have gotten something to eat and came back. So sad I have to change locations (and monthly rituals ) because it's honestly not worth it. read more

Elite Nails went the extra mile for my daughter and her bridesmaids on Memorial Day weekend. The wedding was on a Sunday (the day Elite Nails is closed), yet they kindly opened their spa and provided 7 ladies to give mani/pedis to the bride and her 6 bridesmaids from 9-10:30 a.m. There was no extra charge for opening their business just for us. It was a private party and so very much appreciated! When my daughter arrived, there was champagne, water, tea, and a beautiful large bouquet of 'Love Forever' balloons. We were blown away by their kindness and excitement to partner with us for our daughter's wedding. Elite Nails is the only place I go for mani/pedis, acrylics and gels. They have always accommodated me within a few minutes of dropping by without an appointment, the ladies are lovely and competent, and the massage chairs are comfortable and relaxing. Villa Park is known as the Hidden Jewel - Elite Nails is one of its stellar facets. Thank you for helping to make our daughter's wedding day so special. read more

Great nail salon. They changed owner so the salon looks very clean now. Service is exceptional.. no more loud talking, which is a plus

This place is completely HORRIBLE! I am no fool, and although I don't speak Vietnamese, I can honestly say that the two girls doing my mani/pedi were having a hell of a time dissing me throughout my service. I also hate it when I am paying for a service and in the middle trying to relax the ladies jump on their cell phone and start having a conversation. I have been to many nail salons in Orange County and this is hands down the worst salon I have ever been to. Do not waste your time or money! I will never go there again and I do not recommend this place to anyone! Victoria's Nails on Katella and Tustin is where you should go if you are looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. read more

This was my first time going to this salon and they did a really great job on my nails. I decided to use dipping powder and it turned out great. Very clean. Will be going back! read more

If anyone writes anything bad about this place, they must work at a competing nail salon. The ladies here are wonderful! Generations of local women have gone here for years. It's very clean. Enough said. read more

Don't go there. They dipped my hands in acetone instead of removing the powder nail filler individually. It burned my hands. I told it was burning my hands and they said this is a quicker process. They didn't card about hurting me. Stay away!!! read more

My phone went missing and turned up in their personal work basket, hidden! Just had my nails and toes done here. When I walked to my car I realized that my phone was missing. I gently looked in my purse since my nails were wet, I didn't see it. I went into the store and asked a few people, including the two ladies who assisted me. They looked briefly, said it wasn't there. I went back to my car, and emptied the contents of my purse. No phone! I went back in and asked again, they insisted it wasn't there. It wasn't until I grabbed for their phone and was adamant that we call my number that one of the ladies working on me pulled it from her basket, out from under towels. I don't want to accuse anyone of theft; however, it left a bad enough impression on me that I will never visit that shop again. They commented on my phone during my visit, saying to be careful to not drop it in the water, I explained it was the new waterproof cover for the iPhone 5. read more

I have been coming here since I was in high school, so over 13 years! Amy is my girl for both manicures and pedicures. She does such a great job and makes me feel comfortable every time. One thing I have noticed that they do here and don't do at other salons is line the foot spas with plastic and remove them after each use. I feel safe knowing how clean the place is, considering the horror stories you hear about infections. They have a good selection of gel colors, but I always bring my own! read more

So frustrating! The girls working on me did a great job. However I picked 7 different gel colors before they actually has one in stock! 7!!!!. All I wanted was a nude pink with a brown undertone. Not hard....They definitely need a larger selection of nude colors and actually have them in stock! Never been so frustrated in a salon. read more

I have been coming to Elite Nail Salon for over 10 years. I faithfully get a fill and pedicure every 2weeks. The fills are expertly done, the nail technician has always done a great job. Sometimes I get a gel manicure with my fill and sometimes use their polish. Since new management has been in the salon, I have never seen any of the problems mentioned in previous reviews. The ladies all have experience. Their selection of gel nails colors is very good. I also get pedicures, and the technician is very good and especially with the leg massage. I appreciate that this salon does not try and "up sell" me on products. read more

I paid twice the price that I would have at any other salon!! I wasnt impressed or happy :(

Very disappointed. I got a nail fungus from this place from my manicure. Also paid for the extra callus removal on the pedicure and she barely scrubbed. read more

I came here today for a basic manicure and they kept asking if I wanted Gel Manicure. Repeatedly told them no, I like my own nails. The woman who did my manicure did THE WORST job ever. When I was done, I had nail polish all over my cuticles and skin around my nails. They were painted a dark maroon, so it was very visible. I asked her to clean them up, then again she did a half ass job. I finally asked for the brush myself to do the job right. Then, I had skin hanging off my cuticles from where she cut them. Never will be going back, that's for sure! read more

I have been coming to this salon on and off for about 17 years. In that time, I have gone to other nail salons, and I just keep coming back to Elite in Villa Park. (I love all of the ladies there, but Julie takes such good care of me time and time again!!) The culture in this salon is very family-like. I feel like family, no matter WHO does my mani-pedi. The women are very, very kind to one another, as well as to me, my friends and my daughters. These ladies are pros! They know what they are doing and I have always been 100% happy with my nails. To the reviewer who had "cricket" nails: I don't know what "cricket" nails are, but I have never had them at this salon. The only thing I have received is wonderful service and consistently pretty nails. read more

My trip to Elite Nails was amazing! They were very nice and they did a very good job! The place was also very clean an

Came to get a fill with gel and my mom and gran got a pedicure. I usually go to another salon but they wanted to come here because the comfy chairs. I wish i didn't go, my nails came out with gel all over my skin. Which they did fix as i noticed it before i left. When i got home i then saw all my nails were completely crooked and all different lengths. I did not want to go back so i ended up just re filing my nails myself. My moms toenails were so short she told the lady it was hurting and she didn't care. My gran had a base color with glitter and they seemed to miss multiple patches so she ended up with patchy nails of glitter. The ladies there were very sweet but really not that great at nails... i am disappointed because they were nice here but the manager didn't care at all about our complaints, hurried us out and wasn't bothered that we weren't happy with the results. read more

I had a older woman do my nails...she did a awful job and hurt me a couple times,,,she said she was sorry....as I waited for my nails to dry I saw 3 Cockroaches run across the floor.. the lady nexrt to me jumped as saw them too...the employees looked like they were mad at us for saying anything! I am putting in a complaint with the city and state about the Cockroaches and the dirty conditions! NEVER will I go there again! read more

I've been coming here for years. They always do a great job, and my manicure lasts much longer than other places I have tried! Teresa did a great job on my nails today. read more

I have been going to Elite Nails for years to Mary. She is excellent! The spa is clean and the service is great! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

In response to Brittany A's review of 1 day ago. Your a PATHETIC SPOILED BRAT that isn't happy with any service (no matter how much someone goes out of their way to please you). I have been going to Elite Nails & have been with the same girl over 20 yrs. Apparently you have made it your quest in life to harass business establishments (I think your just CHEAP & try to get free service) and then write horrible reviews about them. I can't believe how badly you treated the girl that went above & beyond the call of duty to please you while ALL you did was complain! You even walked away & left it up to your poor MOTHER TO TIP the Technician YOU relentlessly tormented! SHAME ON YOU! You are the NIGHTMARE CUSTOMER that EVERY hard working person dreads getting everyday we go to work! GET A LIFE! Over 20 years I have never had or seen a BAD experience with ELITE NAILS. read more

Just had a gel manicure / spa pedicure & it was great. I come here all the time but today I had a different manicurist, Nancy. She is the best!! I will definitely go back to her. read more

I spotted this nail salon after stopping at Bank of America (in the same center). I've not been overly pleased with the Happy Nails I usually go to, so I thought I'd give this place a try. I had a gel manicure on my fingers that seemed like it was going to last but it started to chip after 1 week. I even opted for the same polish brand that I usually use. I'll be going back to Happy Nails. read more

I have been going to Amy Nguyen for a couple of months now. She does an amazing job on my gel nails. She is polite and pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Amy. read more

My nails were not nicely trimmed nor painted. The person I had was not very skilled at her job.

The above review is correct. These girls, maybe some exceptions, think they are doing you a favor. They laugh amongst themselves and make you feel anything buy catered to for your money. read more
