Stumbled upon this place as I was going through for a pick up. I read on yelp that walk ins are welcome. They were kind of hesitant when I told them I did not have an appointment, however they still took me. I am not too sure if they ordered any premium pedicure packages but the gel pedicure was $55. Cindy had helped me. I had asked her to spend a little extra time in specific areas. She did a really good job and the quality of nail polish painting she did was excellent. She made sure to clean up around the edges that sometimes can be weird with gel polish. Overall the vibe was chill. She was really focused on making sure my nails came out nice, and I greatly appreciated that. read more

Service was great and my pedicure was so good and lasted along time All the staff was very friendly. It was clean and inviting.

Wonderful salon. Clean, professional and excellent work. Tina is the owner and runs a very organized and efficient business. They use high quality state of the art products. All the girls do a good job. read more

Tina and her team are amazing! The decor is so cute too and very relaxing music. I was so grateful for their attention to detail because I LOVE my nails! (the pic is a few days grown out -- I didn't take a good pic when I first got them done) Also: they have nail charms and rhinestones etc. if you're looking for those! read more

Tina and crew have improved their practices since my last review and I have come back a few times. My nails always look great! Everything is clean and kept up well. I am not afraid of getting a fungus again. They are also about the get a mini-makeover with all new chairs etc. I love the peaceful feeling at Nail Elegance, never rushed, not too loud like some other salons. And they never shame me for paying with a card- which actually has happened a lot at other salons. Thankful to have found this gem again and will be coming back. read more

Amazing service with great attention to detail. The technicians are skilled, and I always leave feeling relaxed and pampered.

My family has been coming here for years, and I have never been disappointed with the service or the product. Thanks Tina and staff you are the best! read more

only hard working one is the owner tina, 3 of us came for pedicures 2 hours before closing and they claimed to be fully booked even though one worker was walking around on her phone. after we asked if they had time they talked amongst themselves in viet then one said they were booked. there were plenty of open seats and like i said one worker on her phone, another counting money. this is not the first time i've gotten this response. tina is amazing but she can only cater to so many customers read more

My first ever pedicure & it was a winner! Nail Elegance is extremely clean -- I saw Lily, who did a lovely job very efficiently. I asked for just the basic pedicure without polish but they offer an array of services for both pedicures & manicures. Altogether relaxing & pleasant, with a cup of hot tea & wrapped candies to boot! read more

Such wonderful service and the nails look great!! Totally recommend, the staff are so sweet :)

Amazing work!! Professional! Clean! Good prices! Friendly! Tina is always upgrading her space too and it is warm and inviting

It's better if you make an appointment, same day too. They do well with walk-ins. Many colors and style of nail application

My friend referred me to this place. I got a gel pedicure with Lily. She was really sweet and patient with me because I was being indecisive picking out a nail color. The cost of the gel pedi was $45 which is fair. I prefer gel polish over regular polish bc my nails last for over a month, sometimes even longer and they maintain their shine. What I liked about this place was that they include the sugar scrub, massage, hot stone and warm paraffin wax without an additional charge. That's a steal! Everywhere else I have gone those are always add ons so I feel like I got a great deal and the service was excellent. It was also very clean, which is something I look for when I go to nail spas. Thank you Lily, I will be back! read more

Linh takes care of my friend, and she's amazing. I always get the most amazing nail artists. This is truly a special place, and everyone is patient, fabulous, kind, caring, and skilled. read more

Never again... I've heard from a couple of people that this place is good, but my second visit, I was annoyed the whole time!! I made an appt for 2:45. I arrived at 2:20 because I got out of work early. They didn't seat me until my actual time, but then I sat on the pedicure chair for another 15 minutes until a lady came up to me to do my service. Not once did she ask me what pedicure package I wanted, she just assumed and then charged me $35 at the end. Worst $35 I have ever spent in a nail salon... See my pictures! read more

Absolutely love this place!!! You get five star treatment for the price of three stars Pedicures: quality pedi, exfoliating scrub, mini massage with heated stone, and paraffin treatment all for the price any other place would charge for just a pedicure. Shellac nails: lasted me almost three weeks (and I'm not gentle on my hands) read more

Crafty and skilled! Make an appointment with Tina. It's almost a week waiting list for her! I got the Chrome Ombre Nails today. It was $50 but soooooo worth it! I'm highly recommending this place! Update:. I broke a nail and revisited this place. Much different experience this time! Phuong was sooo rude! I almost cried! read more

I came in yesterday and I had my old my acrylics removed. During the removal process the woman doing my nails removed part of my real nail. Tina came over and took over but still made me pay $40 for my nails. I think I should have gotten them done for free because the first technician that helped me continued to remove my acrylic set even though I kept saying it hurt. read more

First time since toe surgery to get a pedicure. Amazing care and cleanliness, gentle trimming and working with troubled toes and toenails.

I haven't had the best luck w/nail salons in Willow Glenn. It's either the service or quality. - the hot towels were applied & it was hot - purple was soak, I have no idea what that was or did for my feet, apparently nothing - the massage wasn't that great either read more

There's something about getting a mani/pedi with other women, even random strangers, that has the power to be refreshing, not just on the outside, but also on the inside. Until a few days ago, one of the women I work with had never had the pleasure of having a pedicure. And It just so happened that she revealed this detail to us ladies a week before her birthday. So, what began as a mere conversation, became an hour of relaxation and bonding over nail polish and soap suds. I was really impressed by this small and unassuming, little shop in the middle of Willow Glen. The women who work at Nail Elegance are not only professional, but they use quality products AND quality skills. Here are four things that set them apart: 1. Luxurious parrafin wax 2. Heated cream for your foot or hand massage (Can you say, "ahhhhh"?) 3. Artistry. I got two ghosts on either big toe for Halloween! 4. Warm stones. This is the BEST part! The heat of the smooth rocks against your feet feel so nice! I've never felt so pampered! And the Birthday Girl quite literally "walked away" with a great experience and quite possibly a new habit to love. I think my co-worker, who her brings her laptop downstairs while getting her toes done, has the right idea! Who says you can't multi-task with a little bit of indulgence? It takes on a whole meaning to "billable hours"! read more

To sum my mani/pedi up quickly, I could have done a better job myself @ home. Honestly, the quality of my mani/pedi was absolutely not worth my $. Two stars because the customer service was OK. The owner was really nice and "tried to fix" the botched nail design one of the techs painted on. Then on the other hand, I can't understand how she could let a customer leave with such poor quality work. Here we go: 1. The nail tech did a half-hearted job of cleaning my cuticles 2. The color I chose was almost out, and the nail tech thinned it out with acetone. The owner informed me she had a new bottle in the back, AFTER the nail tech was done badly applying coat after coat after coat of thinned out polish. Wow! 3. I had to tell the nail tech more than once to fix certain areas she didn't apply polish to properly and to clean polish off my cuticles!! 4. The tech painted a bad, shaky design (that she chose) which the owner noticed and moved me to her station to "fix" 5. The owner "fixed" the design and I told her that the tech didn't clean up around my cuticles, she said 'oh, I'll fix that for u right now' NEVER GOING BACK! read more

Overpriced, it's downtown Willow Glen so I should have known better. I went in for a manicure- nothing fancy, just clear nail polish. I felt rushed the whole time. Not much of a hand massage. It's a clean enough shop, polite service, but its way too expensive and over priced compared to the other nail shops I usually go to (QT Nails, Van's Nails). It's a shame, because the place is so close and convenient to where I live. read more

I came to nail elegance based on my friend's recommendation, and I'm so happy that I did! I got French tip shellac done by Kathy, and I really liked the service that she gave because she took the time to clean my cuticles carefully and also made sure that I was happy with the length and shape of my French tip. I also really enjoyed the ambiance of the salon because the workers weren't loudly chatting with each other the whole time like they do in other salons that I've been to. The only downside to it being in downtown willow glen is the fact that it can be hard to find parking because of all the businesses on that one street, so I would suggest finding street parking on willow street near the residential area and just walk towards Lincoln ave and take the crosswalk. I highly recommend this place! It's definitely going to be my new go-to nail salon. read more

I would give this establishment no stars if I could however, it is not possible in this case so I will settle with the one. I am not the type to ever really write reviews unless it is something incredibly good or terribly bad. However, when I had come to this establishment for a simple removal of acrylics and CLEAR COAT manicure, literally nothing more, I was refused because I I had not gotten the acrylic set with them and she proceeded to basically call me dirty and told me I needed to wash my hands and bathe more often in order for the nails to "fall off on their own". She had a very snooty attitude and insisted there was no way she could remove them without me being a liability to her business. I literally went to the salon a few steps down and they did it for me no questions asked. Don't come here if you want to be looked down on and given a million and one excuses as to why they can't provide a service for you! read more

Oh what to say about Best Nail salon ever! Customer service, quality of products, clean environment and friendly welcoming team is what sets this shop apart from the rest! The Gellish nail polish is amazing. Tina, the owner has over 100 colors in the Gellish, which makes my choosing a color painful, but it's so great. This is the best nail salon ever and I'm a loyal and happy customer. Thanks Tina, Julie and all the staff :) Alana read more

Julie does an awesome fill and is very fun and engaging while doing it. Tina is completely rude and obnoxious. I phoned to make an appointment with Julie, she interrupted me before i could finish my sentence, proceeded to tell me Julie was not in, then said she could do my nails, after interrupting me again, then communicated that she didn't have time to do my nails. When I phoned back, because I was in disbelief about what had happened, she interrupted me again, told me I was mean, that Julie would not be doing my nails and that I should take my business elsewhere, then she hung up on me. Nail salons are a dime a dozen. People do not take your business to a woman who treats her customers like this. read more

What a find! I think I discovered this shop while visiting my friend John's furnishings store next door. Every time I call, Tina greets me like an old friend and I feel special. When I arrive, all of the ladies greet me and make me feel comfortable. Whether I start with the gel manicure, excellent and FAST or my pedicure, I am a happy camper. The pedicure treatment includes lovely citrus slices in your warm conditioned water. Massage chairs are big and comfy. The technicians are excellent and I haven't experienced any of the cuts or abrasions I came to associate with other places. It's clean, quick and convenient. The pricing is great and you'll feel like you visited with good friends. read more

Tina is amazing!!!! Finally got a chance to use my gift certificate to get my nails done. I didn't have appointment but Tina(owner) was available so she did my French manicure. All I can is WOW!!! She was super fast and Im absolutely happy with my nails! She was super friendly and you can tell she has a lot of regular customers. She was super engaging without being nosy... My "pet peeve" for the most nail salons are all the workers speak to each other in their language. I always find that extreme rude but non of that at this place. I also got s pedi from another lady and it was good. Then Tina passed out small hand lotion to everyone as "happy holiday" gift... I can understand for her regular customers but She didn't have to give me one nor did I expected... A little extra service goes a long way.... This place is little out of my way but I will definitely see Tina again!!! read more
