I do not live in Brunswick but I had an appointment in the area and needed my nails done. I searched around Yelp for a salon that does dip nails (sns) whatever you prefer to call it. I came across Elizabeth Nails Spa. I came in as a walk in and they took me right away. At the time I came in, there were no other customers in the salon, which was perfect for me. Then, later on, a few other customers trickled in. There was peaceful spa style music playing. There were some pretty overhead hanging lights. The salon has a huge variety of nail polish colors, and a good collection of dip powder colors as well. The price charged for the service was reasonable compared to what I normally pay for dip. The technician that did my nails...I'm not sure of his name... but he was the fatest to ever do my dip...after taking off my old dip, it only took him 25 minutes from start to finish, which is incredibly fast considering it normally takes between 40 min to an hr to complete at other salons. I was relieved that he was SO fast because I had to get to work afterwards, so that was fantastic! On the otherhand, he missed a coat of dip on one finger after putting the clear adhesive on, so I had to let him know, and he missed one coat of topcoat on one of my fingers, but I just let it go because it already had one coat on. So all in all, I would go back here, however the rushing did make for some careless misteps. read more

I didn't have a great experience here. The interior is... OK. Not fancy, but I wasn't expecting it to be. The massage chairs are pretty nice and I liked that they had liners in the soaking tubs. The tools were not in sterile packaging, but they looked clean enough. When my friend & I walked in, we were encouraged to choose our paint colors, which we did. Our technicians tried to upsell us to the next level of service (which I think was hot stones), but we both declined. When we got to the point in our pedicures to apply polish, we were told it was an additional $5 to get colored polish. Yes - on top of the $30 for a basic pedicure (which didn't even remove all the callouses from my feet), they charge an extra $5 for colored polish. We told our technicians to go ahead, but as soon as my color was applied to a few toes, I could see that it was not done well. It was clumpy and strayed outside of my nails (and I didn't see the typical paintbrush in polish remover to remove mistakes). At that point I told my technician that I just wanted clear. She removed the little bit of color and gave me a clear coat. I'll be putting on color myself at home. I'll give this place 2 stars because it was at least respectably clean, but I was not impressed. read more

Mani pedi. Needed fake nails to allow nails to regrow. I was welcomed into the shop. Convinced to have gel rather than acrylics added to my nails. In the course of the priming coat I changed my wishes from color to natural. The technician added "French tips". My nails look perfectly natural. The technician also convinced me to have a pedicure. The best of my life. I'll return and send and bring friends. What a great way to end a difficult week! read more

Came here to get my sister all ready for her big wedding day. There was 4 of us and everyone was super accommodating and friendly! They did a great job taking their time and making sure we all got pampered! Would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

This was my first time at Elizabeth nail spa and I was also my last. I went in for a basic shellac manicure. I already had shellac on my nails so someone wrapped my nails quickly after I sat in the chair... But then I processed to sit there for 30 minutes, I was honestly 5 minutes away from walking out with the tin foil on my fingers.. finally some came over and took her all of 20 minutes to take the polish off, file (never asked what shape I like), buff and barely cut my cuticles and then she slapped on paint the fastest I've even seen. I had to ask her multiples times to go back because she missed spots on my nail, also never waited for the light to finish the 60 seconds, she just demanded for my hand and said it was done. She put in minimal effect and rushed to get me out the door (even though no one else was waiting for service) so I declined the oil and hand lotion after because I've never wanted to leave a nail salon so fast. read more

I had a totally A-OK experience. Went in for a pedicure. I was seated right away and given a menu for pedicure options. I chose the Spa Pedicure because it was everything I wanted without costly extras. The person doing my pedicure tried to upsell me to a more expensive pedicure but I was firm in my choice. I was a little annoyed that I wasn't shown the remote to control the chair massage until my technician moved the chair back to paint my nails and I could see the pocket it was kept in. (More than halfway through the service.) The pedicure came out great. Very detailed oriented and each step wasn't rushed. Parking was ok. We got the last spot in the lot. They use Square, so paying and tipping was easy. Overall, the experience was good. It was very clean and quiet. I would most likely come back. read more

Andy is the person to go to here !!! I went in a rush with little time and not only did he do a great job, but got me in and out!!! Service was 100% top notch. Highly recommend Andy !!! read more

In town for my Daughter's wedding, I had called ahead to make an appointment for four of us so that we could all sit together while being pampered, they were ready for us at our appointment time, and took awesome care of us, getting our mani's & pedi's done and we looked great for the 'big day'. Would definitely go there again while visiting and get nails done in the future. Thanks Andy and staff read more

Today was the worst experience I've ever had at a nail salon (or any place of business). Two of the staff members had a screaming fight with one another for about 10 minutes in the salon!! I've never witnessed anything like this in a place of business. They even came over within about two feet of me and started yelling at one another. Many other customers wanted to leave (I couldn't leave as my nails were wet and I hadn't paid) and were almost forced to stay and witness this. I am unsure of what was being said nor the circumstances of the fight, but Im still flabbergasted! The pedicure itself was very good even though it was very rushed and the man who did it wasn't very friendly. read more

I have been coming to Elizabeth nails spa for 5 years. They are the best nails spa in town! They are kind and dedicate their time into your nails. Every time I go there, they deliver exactly what I want on my nails (and I have a complicated order). I have gone to many other places and they have got it all wrong. Plus, Elizabeth Nails spa is very sanitary in what they do, they wash their hands many times throughout the nail process and they use fresh tools. Elizabeth Nails spa is the way to go! read more

Do not go here.. I got a shellack manicure and it chipped after only 2 hours! And then 3 days later the shellack completely peeled off on one of my fingers! I can usually go 3 weeks with shellack polish before it even starts to peel or chip. I am not tough on my nails by any means. This was the worst shellack manicure I have ever had and I will never go here again. A complete waste of time and money!! This kinda makes me sad because it used to be such a great nail salon, I even had my wedding nails done here 7 years ago! Apparently from what I've heard it is now under new ownership. read more

Elizabeth Nails Spa - My shellack manicure peeling after only 3 days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

They charged me $25 to paint my young daughter's nails. The paint lasted les than 24 hours, when it sloughed off in large sheets after a bath. The service when I followed up was unacceptable. I spoke to three people, none of whom thought that was an issue. I will never return. read more

Excellent mani/pedi for a great price. I am from out of town and was visiting my daughter--we went to Elizabeth together and were very pleased. Over a week later my nails are still in good shape. The paraffin is the best I've ever had (including several big cities). It is true, as some of the reviews have mentioned, that they are very fast but they don't cut corners. It is also true that the place has a bit of a lived in look (for example, coffee mugs left out). This made me a bit concerned at first. But the nail work they do is 100% hygienic, the chairs are super comfortable and work well, and the music, atmosphere are pleasant and the people are very nice. This would be my regular nail place if I lived in the area. read more

I wanted to like this place and tried it 3 different times. The first time was relatively good, but the other 2 were horrible. I had a nail dip from Andy and he rushed through it so fast that they didn't look good. He did not ask me what shape, if I liked them, or anything. In fact he just didn't talk, which is fine. However when he was done he just got up and walked away. Didn't say one word so I wasn't even sure they were dry or if he was done. After waiting 10 mins I had someone else check me out. He was unprofessional and charged $40 for a dip that didn't last more than a week. Thankfully after talking to others in the area I found another salon that appreciates my business and is much cleaner. I will not return to ENS. read more

RUSHED through the entire manicure by young woman tugging and ripping at my cuticles. The place was incredibly DIRTY too. It was only $18 but nonetheless a horrible experience. Seems like it was the only nail salon in town, and I was visiting. Did I mention how FILTHY the place was ? read more

Made an appointment for gel manicures for my mom and myself. The whole manicure took 20 minutes, we felt like we were being rushed although we were the only 2 customers at the time. There was not talking, just kind of moving my hands/arms where she wanted them. I asked for a square shape and I got a som square and some round. I was happy with the outcome when I left besides a few funny shaped nails. However, the same night my thumb completely peeled up and the following morning 3 more nails did. I normally wouldn't do anything about it but at the rate my 30 dollar manicure was going to last 3 days. When I called I got laughed at and hung up on when I asked about appointments. I'm sure they would have fixed it if I went back, but at the point I felt extremely unwelcome. read more

Maine Law prohibits expiration dates on gift certificates, yet this salon will not honor one because they put a expiration date on it. The salon has really gone down hill since I was there last. They have basically stolen my husband's money...as buying a gift certificate is pre paying for a service. Please spend your money on reputable businesses that know how to provide quality customer service. read more

This will do in a pinch. They are quick and thorough. Although too quick for me. I like my feet and legs super pampered when I get a pedicure. I will go back, its not like I live here all the time or anything so, no biggie. read more

I started going to Elizabeth Nails 3 months ago and see Adam every time. He is fast, helpful, friendly and consistent, did I mention fast (with no cuts). He suggested Gel versus Acrylic and I much prefer it. I am sold on the Gel and Elizabeth Nails! read more

Excellent care and treatment. Every step of the process was performed thoughtfully and carefully. Very pleased. I will return with pleasure.

The quality of nail work wasn't good by any means. It's rare for me to have my nails done so I wasn't too sure of what to expect. During the procedure I mentioned several times that it didn't look right and was assured each time that he wasn't finished yet. The lengths of the nails differed, there were spaces where the color didn't reach the cuticles, and they seemed only half interested in me, getting up several times to tend to other customers. I won't be going back. read more

Went to Elizabeth nails for a gel mani and spa pedi with my mom. We both had gel manicures done first. Was by far the shortest most rushed manicure I've had. I've been getting gel for about 5 years and have never had anyone do it this quick (that's not a good thing). She did a terrible job with my cuticles, most of them half there and then painted over them. It looked awful, like a child did it honestly. I asked my manicurist to do a third coat and she said no it wouldn't work (not true, I do 3 every single time as the color is always better with 3 and less chipping). After our gel manicure was complete we moved over to the pedicure chairs. I wasn't expecting much but it was a tad better then the mani, although the water was not hot. I had a different woman do my pedicure and she took her time, seemed to actually care about her work and made sure I was happy with the color before applying it to the rest of my toes. I left disappointed with the mani, neutral on the pedicure but tried being optimist that it would last. The very next day my first nail chipped.. the second day 3 nails chipped and within 5 days all my gel was literally peeling or had completely peeled off. My toe polish on the other hand is still going strong, 2 weeks later. So 5 stars for my pedicurist. I live in California and was home in Maine on vaca visiting my mom. I left the day after we got our nails done and I message my mom on day (post spa) 4 or 5 asking how her nails were and she had the same complaints I did. We will never return to this place. Complete waste of money due to product quality and lack of caring in employees. The only reason I give 2 stars is because of the decent pedicure and cleanliness of establishment. I hate to be the person who puts down a local business but this is just terrible. I am not new to the nail game, I've gone every other week for years. It's the one thing I do for myself on a regular basis. If in Brunswick I'd recommend finding a different salon. read more

My husband and I have been having pedicures at Elizabeth's for about 3 years and have been pleased with the results and the experience. Our most recent visit was different. The appearance and cleanliness of the salon is deteriorating. The place needs a good deep clean. Fresh paint and ditching the dusty artificial plants would be a great place to start. The technicians are good at what they do so having the facility reflect the care they have in providing great service would create a more positive experience for the clients. read more

I was in the mood to pamper myself and the day spa down the street recommended Elizabeth's for a walk in mani/pedi (instead of whatever they offer, but I didn't think of that then). So I walked right in and sat right down and got fixed right up. The man who did my pedi was super friendly, and I really enjoyed talking to him. He told me where to go for dinner in town, and I forgot to tell him where to go in Chinatown when he takes the train to Boston -- go to Xinh Xinh on Beach Street! You will love it! read more

My nail lengths were uneven, and they took forever to dry afterward because they rushed between coats. I ended up with several messed up nails that were obviously uneven. The people were not friendly to begin with, and they were very overpriced. Would not recommend this nail salon to anyone. read more

Came with my mother for pedicures, we were able to be helped right away. Everyone who works here is friendly and works quickly. Their foot massages aren't just a 2 min ordeal, they spend time on your feet and lower legs to make sure that you are leaving satisfied. Good prices for the service you get! read more

Three stars is me trying to be extremely fair. I may try them again to gain another perspective but so far my first impression was not impressed at all. My sister set up appointments for her, our mom, grandma and myself. Now of course I didn't expect to be done all at the same time but my sister was the just about finished by the time another of our party was even picked up. As I read in a previous comment they were swapping around client to client and it's very unprofessional. My sister got shellac and usually she can wear it 3-4 weeks with only grow out but it chipped away 3-4 days later. Luckily the rest of up only did standard manicures and they've held alright but the woman who polished mine did a really crappy job with the top coat which really just through the whole aesthetic off. I would've said something but I was already there too long and wanted out. I do a better home shellac on myself. But to be fair it was Mother's Day so I may try again but I just don't have the highest hopes that it'll be much better. When busy it should make you want to do better so those guest are more likely to come back and refer others. read more

Really liked this place. Here visiting and wanted to treat myself. Found the place to be clean and liked that it didn't smell like a chemical plant. Got the deluxe pedi, nice! read more

The photos and writeup show a peaceful, relaxing space, when in reality the space is quite in need of cleaning and repair. The salespeople were super-aggressive and seemed quite upset that I chose one style of pedicure over another. She wouldn't let it go. It was certainly not a relaxing start to the experience. Then the man working on my toenails, cut my nail so short it hurt to put it in the water. After that it improved a little bit as the gentleman who did my pedicure was quite thorough and competent. Overall the atmosphere was not at all relaxing, would not return. read more

I was super disappointed with this place. The woman who did my nails was very rude. She was rough with the cuticle tools to a point of pain. They didn't wait between coats, so the paint took a very long to dry and looks terrible. The second coat barely covered the first, and the lines are super visible. It started chipping after a few days. Would have been better off doing this at home. read more

I had the most dissatisfying experience I have ever had at a nail salon - just like one of the previous reviews, I had the younger man who did my manicure. He was impersonal, cold, and rushed through the whole process. My friend and I sat down to get our nails done at the same time (my friend had an older woman who took her time)- and both manicures - and he finished mine literally in half the time that my friend's was finished. He obviously does not care about valuing the customer or providing a laudable service and positive experience. He did the minimal amount of service: didn't even touch my cuticles. I simply do not recommend this salon - it is way too expensive for the sub-par product/service it offers (at least in my experience with the man). I will not return. read more

Don't GO here!!!! First of all, they aren't friendly AT ALL, especially the girl who sits up front who may be the 'manager'. Second, they don't do a good job at all on acrylics - I went here when I couldn't get in to my regular place (Nails Lexxus in Falmouth) and they did such a terrible job, I had to have them re-done at Nails Lexxus (and got a scolding from my regular tech too as they were in awful shape) Plus I went in today for just a toe nail polish thinking how bad can they be at that! Well an older lady did my polish and she was so slooooow but they look ok...get ready for the price.... $15 just to paint my toes!!!!! I didn't need a pedicure as I'd just removed my own polish from a recent pedicure and wanted a change. I couldn't believe it and 'you have to be kidding' just popped out of my mouth! Gheesh - guess I learned my lesson this time! read more

I went here to have gel-nails done for my prom, and made an appointment a week in advance. The appointment was for 2:30, and though I showed up on time, they didn't get to me until 3:00. The first guy who helped was very nice, funny, personable. But he left halfway through to help another customer with their manicure, leaving my manicure only halfway completed for about fifteen minutes. Another lady came over to help, but she was very rough, didn't speak to me, and didn't even look at me. The manicure was overall very rushed when I finally got help, but the nails were lumpy, and the polish was put on no better than I could have done, with patches all over the place. Overall, did not enjoy my experience, and the gel nails were overpriced at $55. read more

I am very disappointed with my experience. They would not accept my $50 gift certificate claiming it had expired. They impose an unlawful 1-year expiration and even after sharing a copy of Title 33, I was sent on my way. This is after having paid for a sloppy manicure. Who ever heard of trying to polish someone's fingers while jiggling during the massage potion of a pedicure? This had been my favorite nail place under the prior owner. Won't be going back. read more

Absolutely love it here. I've been coming to this spa for over 10 years now and have never had such fast, friendly, and clean service anywhere else. They cater to exactly how you want your nails done and offer a variety of packages to do so as well. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone. read more

I went in for a "basic" mani pedi which was 50 dollars bc I hadn't gotten either in such a long time . Tho it was expensive the service was really good and I enjoyed the place. I recommend ! They are fast and they listen to what you want. read more

Impersonal, rushed, poor result. My husband's nails hardly looked different after his alleged manicure. My manicure was ok (because I really only needed polish), but super rushed. My Pedi was ok; but we paid more here than we would have other places. (I was thinking we'd get what we paid for, but nope.) Can not recommend this place. No pride of workmanship. read more

My brother is getting married tomorrow so the lovely bride and all four bridesmaids (including myself) decided to get their nails done here. We were forewarned that this was not the nicest place. We arrived and were pushed into finding colors immediately but decided to wait for the bride. We were rushed into the chairs and put our feet in the ridiculously hot water. Everything was done super quickly. I got my legs scrubbed, cuticles softened and clipped, all in under ten minutes. A young man did my hands while a lady did my feet. I cannot tell you how ridiculously rude and terrible this young man was. He yelled at me when I explained how I wanted my nails (white on all nails with silver accent nail) and one of the ladies yelled at him in return. He put one coat on both hands, taking about five seconds per nail and as soon as he was done with my second hand rushed into putting a second coat on the first. My nails were left bubbly and ugly, and the filing left them like claws. He yelled at me to get out of my chair and to the dryers. I sat there with my sister for half an hour. We left after about an hour of this terrible service and get a text from the bride saying that they had charged us for a "special" treatment which included all the massages and scrubs. We had asked the women if this was the regular, cheaper treatment and they said yes. Absolutely terrible, horrific service and if I could give them negative seven stars I would. read more

Elizabeth Nails Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Brunswick, Maine

Absolute worst manicure I've ever had in my life. My nails look terrible- all different uneven lengths and color all over my fingers he did not clean up. Not to mention that he used his dirty fingernail to scrape off my previous gel manicure which was painful, ineffective and unhygienic. He never even put a towel down or had me wash my hands in the middle. I'm disgusted and disappointed with the experience and outcome. I could've had a better manicure from my 3 year old cousin. What a mess. DON'T GO HERE!!!! read more

I don't have prior experience to base this off, but somethings I was happy with, other things I was not happy with. There was 5 of us wanting mani/pedis, 3 ladies, 2 guys. I called to make reservations for a Sunday. That was not a problem. They even had us come in before they opened, so it was just us for the first hour. They had us all in the pedi chairs at the same time. They actually had enough. They asked the guys what we wanted for a package and of course they got talked into the $75 a person hot stone instead of $60 without hot stone. I think we all enjoyed the pedis. No complaints there. I feel the manis where rushed. They were done while our pedis where being done... maybe that's normal. The guy that did the paraffin wax on my hands missed 3 out of my 5 fingers on my right hand. When I got home I noticed that there was wax all over the sleeve of my sweatshirts... I guess that's is where all the wax went. (Not very easy to clean off.) They tried to talk 2 of us into shellac after we had already picked out our colors. When we decided against shellac because our colors where not available they seemed put out. This was actually my bridal party so yes we wanted colors to match the wedding. They were pretty good with my mom when she decided she didn't like the color she picked. They let her change it out. The color I picked for my toes was lighter then I expected and yes she put on a 3rd coat... hesitantly, but that was it. If I was doing it myself I probably would have put on 5 or 6 coats to get the color I wanted. I just dealt with it... by buying some sparkle to put over it myself. My mom and I both ending up smudging 1 nail each while they were drying. My mom's nail was fixed well. My nail was an issue. I had to tell her 3 times I weren't happy. I am the bride and it was on my left hand. Yes I would like my nail to look like they were professionally done since I paid for that, not that I did it myself. While fixing mine it was thrown in our face about how we should have got shellac. For us it had to do with color options, not extra expense. Plus we are not used to wearing polish and didn't want it on for 2 months. (That's what happened to my mother in law so she went with clear this time.) Finally, in several areas there is signage about 5% when you pay with cash. We all made a point to pay with cash and the discount was never given. Their only tip was the 5% that we paid that should have been taken off. Over all yes we enjoyed the pedi and that made it worth it. The mani I would skip. read more
