Elle Nails Spa

I am so glad I woke up today and came back to Elle Nails. I just had the most amazing pedicure – beat in the city by far. Detailed, scrubbed, cleaned, massaged, hot towels, amazing polish – did I mention foot massage? A major one.
This place never disappoints and today was exceptional service. No-chip+amazing pedi was $ 60+ tip

Not the cleanest or most professional place, but D does a fantastic $ 15 manicure and is super attentive!

Very accommodating and so many colors to choose from!

This please is so ghetto and the women working there have attitude!!! Slow and rude. Don’t recommend

I had been going to Elle Nail Salon for a few years and always had a great experience until the past couple visits. It seems as if ownership changed or all new techs were hired because none of the same workers are there. I’m not a big reviewer and typical only review after a great experience but my appointment there yesterday was horrific so I wanted to comment. I had a gel fill in and it looks terrible. It’s completely bubbled and my edges are jagged and sharp. I kept asking for my nails to be cut down and the tech wasn’t listening at all. Instead she was talking to all the other people in the salon, stopping to look at her lunch, stopping to talk to her boyfriend, etc. I was in a hurry and when I saw how slow she was, I said I was just going to leave because I only had 30 min and the tech ensured it would only take 20… It ended up taking nearly an hour. I also had several nails that needed completely removed and redone but instead of doing that like I asked, the tech just re-​glued them on. This is by far the worst nail experience I’ve ever had. The new staff is unprofessional and not skilled. I won’t be returning.

$ 25 eyelash extensions. Cash only.

This is the only place I’ve ever seen that offers a warranty on their work. 10 days for no-​chip. 5 days for regular. Come back in with your original receipt, and get the scuffs fixed… no charge!
I took advantage of the warranty after about 8 days. I only had a tiny chip on my index finger after a pretty raucous weekend. My tech not only fixed the chip, but she fixed another small crack on my middle finger, then gave every single nail on each hand a new clear coat! Nearly 2 weeks later, still looking great!
You can find no-​chip manis slightly cheaper elsewhere (I paid $ 35)… but because of the warranty, the great service, the color selection (it’s HUGE), and the private pedicure rooms, I’ll definitely be back!

Best no chip mani, 9 days later still nice. Ombré in Riptide. Loved how they constantly changed blue tones throughout the day

This is a nice little nail salon… I really like how clean they are and I absolutely love my nail tech Nikki. She does great mani & pedis … Even though I get acrylics my real nails are still strong and healthy which is unheard of when you get fake nails. You can’t go wrong with coming here!

This salon is awesome! I use to go to another west loop salon; however, this one was even closer. The service was really nice, and all the staff was friendly. My nails had chipped while on a trip to Rome and I was able to go in to get them fixed once I got home. They have a wide selection of no chip colors. My pedicure looked amazing but I do wish there was more of a foot massage involved during the pedicure. Otherwise everything was amazing! Defiantly would recommend this place.

I love the service they provide here. I used to come here all the time when I lived around here, I still think the services provided are worth the drive from the suburbs. Specifically Nicole provided a no chip manicure and did a spectacular job. I have also received pedicures here and would recommend that as well. The guarantee they provide on there services is also a nice bonus.

OMG this place is terrible. While the customer service was decent enough, the quality of the work was the pits. I was hurt THREE times with the drill. Not from a cut but from the tech applying pressure to my nail bed. I yelled ouch and pulled my hand away and yelled, «What are you doing? That hurts.»
In addition to that, the nails were rough and half polished. I will never go back to this place.

Love this nail salon everyone who works here is great. However, my favorite tech is T she’s the best! I tell everyone about her. :)

A little on the pricey side but the location is great (it was easy to find parking), they took us on the same day, and they were quick and efficient! Very friendly with a number of options for colors. I also noticed they have separate rooms for pedicures too, so that is a nice little option to have a little more privacy. Great job with my nails — no smudge, lasted a while!

It’s near my office, so I figured I would give it a whirl on my lunch break. The tech was nice, but the service was not great. It was very no-​frills. Maybe I am used to being spoiled, but there were no hot towels, no shoulder massage, and it cost as much as my normal place which does provide the perks. It’s the day after a regular manicure, and one of my nails is already chipped and I can tell a few more are on their way. I won’t be back…

Woohoo!
So I found this space on my fav booking site.
I made apptmt for no chip mani and regular pedi.
My manicurist was a super nice guy. He did a pretty good job on all my fingers and toes. Its a fast job, however, I felt like he did everything he needed. It came with a great scrub and massage. TONS of colors.
I will be going back in a few because I saw a deal for $ 70 individual eyelash extensions… you know I cant pass up a deal.
Overall, its a great place to stop in and get your nails done in a hurry and CHEAP! $ 60.

I had a no chip mani yesterday. Alvin was very meticulous and my nails look great. They also guarantee no chip for 10 days.

It’s been only a couple days since I last visited Elle, but I went back today to get my beautiful claw nails cut down and to change the polish.
My long nails were gorgeous and perfect for the holidays, but I wanted to get in and get the cut shorter as I’m leaving to go out of town after the new year and won’t have time to cut them down then.
Again, I had a great experience and my nails came out gorgeous. As I said in my last review, I’m so happy Tee reached out to me so that I could give this shop another try. I’m so happy I did. They are only a couple blocks from me so I’m elated that I don’t have to continue looking for a shop or trek across the city for my mani/​pedi needs.

I went to Trish tonight. She did a great job on my nails and helped me pick the perfect bling nail!

The tech was nice but won’t be going back for a few reasons:
— first off, i am tired of nail shops that leave too wide a gap between cuticle and polish on chipless manis so that they look grown out after a week. same goes for toenails being left on the long side so that you need a pedi more frequently. over it. as if i needed a reminder as to why i prefer to do my own manis and pedis at home.
— the cosmetics of this place have declined steeply — chipped paint, banged up walls, general messiness, dirty looking floors, tables, and bottles. just bad.
— very small color selection for «buff» colored chipless shades. i settled on something that didn’t flatter my skintone because it was the only decent looking color. not everyone wants OPI bubble bath, ok?
— when they pulled out a very clearly used pumice scrubby thing to use for my pedi, i asked for a new one and was looked at like i was ridiculous. um, why even bother sterilizing your tools when a potentially fungus-​infused, porous object is going to be used to scrape and buff my feet? gross.
— the tech didn’t bother to use cuticle remover and i had the «luxury» of soaking my fingertips is cold, icky water.
— the polish was layered on so thickly that it distorted the shape of my nail contour and the edge of one of my nails was left obviously crooked.
— my nails were trashed after the chipless was removed.
it was just a sad, low-​rent nail experience. oh. and i paid like 80 bucks for all of this sadness. i’ll take a pass next time.
