Nail Elegance of Dublin

Went to use the amount of my Groupon that «NEVER expires». Website, Schedulicity, FB, and phone are all gone!

I have a livingsocial Voucher and have called Nail Elegance of Dublin several times and no one answers the phone. I called Livingsocial and was told that I should try to set the appointment at the end of the month or they offered a refund. Since Nail Elegance is closed until January 31, 2015. I went on line to schedule an appointment but the web site is also closed. I would like to use my voucher before I go on vacation in early February. I’m very disappointed and have spent way too much time and effort in
setting a appointment. I am a business women too and I would lose many customers
if they had to work this hard to do business with my company.

I got a groupon from a friend. Foolishly, I waited to book, thinking I would not need more than a week or two in advance. As many have stated, they book groupon customers 2 months to 3 months in advance, and times are very limited. When I was looking there was nothing after 4pm so I had to go with a saturday.
Finding the place is not as hard as people make it out to be. I think the fact that I had it in my head that it was difficult made me look around more. It is really just up a set of stares in the plaza, and around the corner. Yes, they need better signs.
There is an older (married?) couple who works there and a younger man. The younger man did my mani and pedi and did a good job. The whole thing took like 2 hours, if I recall correctly… and that was with him working on my the whole time. So longer than I wanted, but it was quality work. I actually prefer going to a place where there is a language barrier, because the small talk here got out of hand. Everyone was chat chatting it up and I wanted to try to just relax. The older couple finished up their clients faster and had down time. They easily could have had more people in the salon, not sure why they don’t book more people.
Lastly, I had a hard time picking out a color. There was not as much variety as I was hoping for. All in all, it was fine for a groupon but I would not book again.

I received the groupon deal as a gift from a friend. I will admit that I was disappointed when I went to the website to set an appointment and saw that they were booked about a month in advance but being an experienced groupon shopper and a pretty even tempered person, I was just grateful for my thoughtful gift.
Upon arrival (GPS brought me straight to the location) I felt like I was finding some secret place that you needed a password to get into. I’m fairly adventurous so despite others need for neon signs I thought it was easy to find. The signage wasn’t super fancy and they don’t have a big street presence but if you know anything about old dublin, they have very strict zoning codes and they’re options for signage is limited.
When I arrived (10 minutes before they even opened) they opened the doors for me, invited me in, and were patient while I pulled up my voucher. There were three on staff and all of them spoke in easy and soft tones. Soft music for ambiance played and the easy going vibe washed over me.
Honestly it wasn’t until I logged in to give a stellar review that I read previous ones. There weren’t massage chairs but I hadn’t even noticed. Kevin who is the owner massaged my feet and legs with the most perfect pressure and accuracy of where my pain stems from. I was so mystified by his angel hands that even if there was a chair I would’ve forgot to turn it on.
When we moved to the manicure, we began to get to know each other a little. He is personable, incredibly sweet, and very funny. I enjoyed the conversation almost as much as the service.
He has all natural, paraben free, home made products. They make cuticle oils, sugar scrubs, and lotions from what I can tell but probably more. He enjoys his work, is passionate about his art, and takes pride in the serenity and laid back appeal of his shop. I personally second that motion. Who ever has there undies in a twist over this place needs more than a massage and if they’ve cancelled then thanks for freeing up a slot for me to come back sooner!
Speaking of which, they keep their online booking for groupons limited so that they can keep room open for their regular clients. You can even schedule your appointment via text. Please do not dismiss this wonderful shop because of previous reviews. It is worth every penny.

This place was a hidden gem in Dublin. It is not like the fast and quick pedi places, they do a good through job. Yes it is a bummer they have no massage pedi chairs, but they make up for the great job they do, plus they make you feel very comfortable. they offer water and do a good job on the foot massage.
I will be going back here for sure!
Thanks

I used a Groupon to get a mani-​pedi. Since I paid attention to the directions I was given, I found it with no trouble; but without directions, it would be a challenge, since it’s upstairs and the signage is not prominent. I enjoyed talking with Josh during my time there. My main reason for giving a review is that I received the most long-​lasting manicure and pedicure I have EVER had. If my nails hadn’t grown, the manicure would have looked perfect for TWO WEEKS, the pedicure for longer. He did a nice job of managing my cuticles with no bleeding or pain. I am ready to make my next appointment, paying full price, which I believe is very reasonable. I hope I can get in before my vacation.

I started going to Nail Elegance about 6 months ago after purchasing a Living Social deal. While it was hard to initially get an appointment or to reach scheduling which raised some serious concerns for me, I was pleased with the deal and the service. Future appointment scheduling is no problem whatsoever, and I’ve had no issues with getting an appoitment which works with my schedule now that I’m an existing client. I have recently set reoccuring appointments every two weeks for nail shellac manicures. The shellac/​gel polish they use is great, and they do not use any grinders/​dremels and take great cair of your nails and cuticles with all natural products. Jo Ann, Kevin, & Josh are really awesome. They are small business owners who pay attention to the details and care about their customers. I would highly recommend this salon!

Groupon refunded my money to Nail Elegance after my third email (and three weeks) to the company.

I will agree that it is hard to get an appointment when they have a daily deal however, it is WAY easier to schedule online! They also honored my deal after it had expired without any problems even though I had to reschedule 2x! Three weeks later my shellac nails ((I paid the extra $) still look amazing!

I bought an Eversave gift certificate for my daughter to this place and unfortunately she did not use it right away but when she called she got a message to go on line and they would get back to her. They did not. Since it was getting close to expiring, she drove 30 minutes to the place to get a very cool reception from 3 girls just sitting with no costomers. She was told they did not have the time for her. She would have to come back in a week. They were rude and it’s no wonder the place was empty.
DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. I did get my money back from Eversave. They were very understanding.

AVOID the daily deal sites for this place. They are not big enough to handle all the clients so they can’t even get you in before your deal expires. They overlap deals and leave the previous customers out in the cold.
