Elite Nails

People are very nice. Walked in on a Wednesday and was taken straight to a pedi chair. The massage function was hard to get going because the remote was pretty blown out. Had a young man do my pedi and the end result was not very good. He did quite a bit of clean up with acetone (see picture). He should have just slowed down and did a better job in the first place! The calf and foot massage was great though.

Wrong address, drive around looking for about half an hour just to find that they were closed on Sunday. I had even called several times to get a better idea of where they were located, each time I got a voice mail saying that they were opened on sunday… huge disappointment

Best nail salon! Amazing leg massage and best pedicure I’ve had! Excellent service and very friendly.

Excellent service and great atmosphere and customer service!!! The wait wasn’t too long! I love the complimentary beverages! I will definitely return when I visit Gulf Breeze in the future!!!

Great spa pedicure! You can choose from basic for $ 25 to more speciality at $ 35 or $ 45– great prices for the area! Everyone is very friendly and attentive and you can even get a free glass of wine, champagne or soda. Highly recommend in Pensacola beach area!

New to area and was looking for a nail salon and ended up here at Elite Nails. I was asked right away what I needed and told them I needed a fill with Gel polish. Niki came right over and helped me choose a color. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She did a great job on the fill and the polish job was perfect!
The Salon was very clean and neat. All the staff was busy. I was lucky they could take me right away with no appointment. Zero wait time! This will be my place to go while I am in Pensacola.

I got married out on the beach and my bridal party came here for mani-​pedis the day before. The pedicures were really good — free champagne and great service. However, my French gel manicure (the bride) was awful. It was the sloppiest manicure I have ever gotten in my life. I have short nails to begin with and I started off by telling him that I wanted to keep as much length as possible and to go easy on the filing. I also told him I wanted a square shape, and he proceeded to file all of the nails on my right hand into totally round shapes that were unsalvageable. When I stopped him, he blamed me and said I never told him I wanted square, even though I had and he had nodded and acknowledged it. At the end, there was Polish all over my na bed and skin on my fingers, and the tips were all uneven and sloppy. I had to go home and use an at-​home kit to fix my horrible manicure.

We had a wonderful experience today at Elite Nails. I made an appointment but we certainly didn’t need one they had plenty of chairs. We were immediately greeted and offered a beverage. They had so many different kinds of wine and champagne to choose from. We each got the deluxe pedicure which was amazingly relaxing and the chairs were very comfortable with nice massagers. The girls were wonderful and sweet. We’d definitely recommend Elite nails to anyone in the area or anyone on vacation that wanted to skip the pricy spas and get much better service!

Johnny has been doing my nails for 8 years. He and his beautiful wife, Tiffany, have THE BEST NAIL SALON in the Gulf Breeze/​Pensacola area, maybe the world. They have been in the nail business for over 20 years and exceed in this areas, not occasionally, but ²⁴⁄₇
*Customer service. Johnny goes over and beyond expectations to accommodate his customers. You can expect a personal greeting and a cooler stocked with free sodas, juices and bottled waters.
*Experienced nail technicians. All have many satisfied loyal customers who have returned for years
.
*Comfort. The pedicure massage chairs are heavenly. There are televisions and magazines galore.
*Cleanliness. When I moved to GB in 2007, I tried 6 nail salons. At #6, My big toe became infected, requiring an emergency room visit, before I found Elite Nails. I NEVER go anywhere else, even when I am traveling and really need a mani/​pedi, I still wait until I can get to Elite Nails.
I have no financial interest in writing this review. I just love Elite Nails and the Services offer!

Can I give more than 5 stars? I happened upon this place. Walked in and all of the 10 pedicure seats were full. Very busy. They greeted me and told me i’d be next. Never felt rushed. They did my nails as my toes were being done. By far, the best mani pedi I’ve ever had. Will come here every time I’m staying at Portofino!

Horrible, horrible, horrible… The owner was having an argument with his wife. She seems very mad and left. It was very unprofessional. The worst part was the sanitation. I came there for a new set of nails and was told to put my hands in a bowl of acetone with a light pink color, yuk, nasty. The acetone was USED. OMG, how can people get away with that. I went with it since I’m not a complaining type but I should have left. My new set was not that great because I broke a nail in the 2^nd day and it started coming up from the back on the 3^rd day. They charge a high price and give a so so service with an F for sanitation. I wonder how can they still be in business. NEVER AGAIN!

This is simply the best place for nails in the Pensacola/​Gulf Breeze area! Always friendly and easy to get in. Clean, neat establishment in the Publix shopping center right in the center of Gulf Breeze. Row of ~8 chairs and always fully staffed to handle manicures or pedicures. After the first or 2^nd visit, you can count on Tiffany, Johnny, and the rest to even remember your name!

This little nail spot is located in the Publix plaza. I was extremely fortunate to stumble across this place after trying to walk-​in to the only two nail spots in Harbortown. In both of those two places, there were only 1 – 2 people staffed to handle customers so needless to say, we weren’t getting in.
Anyways, when I walked into Elite Nails, I was so happy to see the places I am accustomed to in Phoenix. A long line of pedi chairs on one side, manicure chairs on the other, with at least 5 employees hard at work. And it was packed which was a great sign. My mom and I came in for a spa pedicure ($ 25). I added on the callous remover for $ 5. My aunt went in for a gel manicure, too, since the other places in Gulf Breeze didn’t do them.
The staff were extremely friendly and the guy who did my feet did a great job. The leg and foot rub felt awesome and he mentioned that he picked up a few tricks over the last few years. Did I mention he was cute, too? Not too shabby of an experience, I must say.
4.5 stars since I didn’t like have to wait as long as I did but hey, if that keeps this place in business, so be it.
