Elite Nails

Shame on me for trying a new salon… I go to a certain salon in Lake Oswego whom I love; the only issue is the small selection of colors for Shellac. I decided to try this location because of the fairly decent reviews. I made an appointment for 5:30pm (I called at 1PM) when I walked in they told me they were full, I explained I had an appointment and gave them my name, turns out they accidentally gave my appointment to another girl who arrived a few minutes before me. Normally I would have offered to come back another day but I was going out of town in the morning and desperately needed my nails and toes done. My pedicure was extremely painful I’ve never had this happen before. She cut my toenails so short one bled, they were filed unevenly, she didn’t scrub my feet or massage them and charged me $ 45… The other salon massages for at least ten minutes and does a beautiful job at $ 35. all the while I’m being tortured in the pedicure chair I have acetone on my fingernails which is starting to burn at this point. I forgot to mention the lady was very rude about me being very careful putting my foot into the dryer she had carelessly propped on the edge of the tub full of water!
Now onto my nails. The guy was very kind and friendly. But he seemed very unsure of his abilities, he took forever filing my nails, he never buffed them and while painting them the bristles from the brush kept falling out and getting stuck in my polish. I arrived at 5:30 and left at 9:00PM! With air bubbles in my polish, uneven toes and zero massage on hands and feet for a total of $ 65 plus tip. Yes I left a tip because I can not stand to hurt peoples feelings. the very next day two of my nails chipped. I’ve learned my lesson, I will be staying with my current nail salon.

Had my Mani/​pedi Monday evening… It’s only Thur. & it’s chipping already, not happy about it! Funny thing is I had a medical procedure Tue. Morn. So didn’t do much Tue or Wed so how could they be chipping? My toes had nail polish left on the skin of several toes. French tips painted on uneven & very streaky. Would not go back!!!

Such a relaxing and quiet environment with kind people! The establishment is clean and uncluttered, which adds to the experience. The deluxe pedicure is amazing — be sure to spoil yourself! You won’t be sorry!

Suzanne and Paul are the two most wonderful people and Suzanne is so wonderful at what she does. I have been seeing her for 13 years for my various nail needs and she has always been a friend. Thank you!!!

It was an okay experience, the ladies talked in their phones or to each other in their language. Also the one that did my pedicure pretty much forgot to paint one of my toes, barely talked to me. She was to busy talking to another staff member than paying attention to what she was doing. I don’t think I will go back. Oh well the quest for a great pedicure continues!

They got me in without an appt early on a Saturday ! Very professional and clean.

I have to get my nails done every 2 weeks. Pain but at least they look good! They just grow too fast!
I’ve gone to nail places all over: some good, some bad.
Elite Nails was able to take me in last minute and give me a fill on my nails in no time!
Suzanne took me right away. No waiting, no over booking.
She was precise and knew I was on my lunch break so did a good job but quickly.
My nails overall look great.
The place is clean and conveniently located near my office.
The only difference between some other nail salons is they don’t have a TV and no comp beverages. No biggie, especially if I’m on my lunch break.
All in all a fill cost me $ 25. Pretty average. I would recommend this place if you’re in the area!

I stopped here on my lunch break to get a shellac manicure since my current one had grown out. I was seated immediately and a super friendly girl started on my nails. First I soaked my fingers in a bowl of acetone for a while to get the current shellac off. Came off great, she did a good job on my new shellac using brand new gel polishes from the shelves — still in their boxes! I was very impressed! But then, as I waited for my last UV treatment to dry the shellac, the girl started cleaning up the area. Two very odd things happened… she put the gel polishes back in the boxes and placed them back on the shelf to sell to customers (she had JUST used them on me!), and the most jaw dropping part… Remember the bowl of acetone I soaked my fingers in for 10 minutes? She put that very same acetone BACK into the big bottle of acetone that they use for everyone in the shop. I was literally flabbergasted. I was staring at her and when she caught me she turned her back to me and said «give me a moment please».
I am so appalled. I can assure you my hands are free of fungus, disease, or bacteria, but I have no idea who’s hands and feet were in that acetone before me. I am thoroughly grossed out and will never go back here or recommend this place to anyone. I will be sanitizing my hands for days.

I have been coming to this salon for over 7 years. The ladies do an outstanding job on my nails every time. Very efficient and quick but the quality is still very good. Pedicures are so relaxing as well. You will feel great after a visit from this salon. Making one appointment for nails, pedicure, and waxing makes it easier to fit in my schedule.

These ladies are excellent! I’m a guy so these things aren’t exactly my norm but I was compelled to write a review after the treatment I got there. Wonderfully nice ladies, with hands of steel, they’ll rub down your legs and hands till they feel like euphoric jello. Enjoy and Tip well!

Love this place! Ask for Lieu. Incredible massage.

Being in desperate need of a pedicure and having limited time to go get one, I picked the nail shop that was closest to the place I am currently calling «home». And what a good pick it was! Elite Nails was clean, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I went in without an appointment and walked out with a beautiful pedicure at a very reasonable price. I also got a ridiculously long (in a good way!) leg and foot massage.
I will definitely go back!
