Elegant Nails

Helen made me feel welcome!!! She did my pedicure and eye wax. Nice lady and job was good not the greatest compared to my usually go to gal «Hanna» in Campbell, CA.
Helen does know how to wax and massage.
Had my manicure by Ming and she was suggesting gel because it last long and was trying to upswell me but I kept saying NO! Her polishing needs work and she doesn’t make small talk.
When I walked in I was greeting and disappointed cause they were talking in their language this girl is «cheap, asking for pricing» then the big mouth staff tried to sell full set/​gel polish like I don’t understand what full set is or gel polish looks like
Sad to see owner lets her staff talk about customers that way. We the customers bring them $$$ and get mistreated.
Very poor customer service!!!

I come here quite often. And never have very big complaints. But do not post your hours of operation to a certain time period if you don’t intend to stay open those hours.

DO NOT GO HERE! Got gel nails on my acrylic for $ 30 and it is already peeling off. Not cool. Supposed to last a lot longer than that.

.They do really good work but they show up late Making people wait for them like it’s no big deal. I’ve been told it’s first come and then other people can make an appt. I get frustrated with the service sometimes.

pretty expensive for a nail place, they charge $ 5 extra for coffin shape, it doesn’t take that much time and it’s not hard and should be included in the price, I could have gone to someone else but ran into here because I was told it was gonna be 20 – 25 when it ended up being $ 40 out the door. I don’t appreciate being lied to, I didn’t get the shape I wanted so I’m sitting here with a file trying to do so. save your money go somewhere else, preferably not an Asian one who rips you off every chance they get.

This is my last resort nail salon that I only go to if my other 2 preferred are busy. They lack customer relation skills, and do sloppy quick work.

I went here to get my nails done for my wedding I went in on Wednesday and by Friday my nails were already pealing off, I used gloves whenever doing housework and it still lifted. I will not be going back here. The lady seemed rushed and didn’t do a good job. I asked if she could put a few rhinestones and she looked annoyed, it’s not as if I asked her to do it for free, and they weren’t even aligned properly. Never going back if I could give zero stars, I would. Horrible service I do not recommend it. There is nothing elegant about this place.

I just spent $ 30 on a 25-​minute pedicure. the lady didn’t even give me rubber flip flops and made me walk to the drying station barefoot until I asked for plastic flip flop. If I could give this place less stars I would the brush that she used to clean my feet with she use to clean the tub after. And on top of all of that they’re just plain out rude

As most of you know building business relationships is what I do everyday, more important customer service. So when I go to a place of business I do expect a certain level of customer service. For example today I leave Morgan Hill to rush to Los Banos to have my nails done (for work) making sure i get there at least an hour before they close. As I know late customers can put a damper on things. As I sit down at Elegant Nails I am told sorry we are closed come back tomorrow. Funny door said 7:00 it was 5:50. So I took my business of 5 years and went to Nails down the street. Not only were the ladies very welcoming and nice the place was so clean. Elegant Nails you have been rude to me the last time and I will make sure everyone knows how poorly you conduct business… Nails you are fantastic and I will continue to give you my business thank you so much for making a sad girl feel appreciated…

I found this nail salon on Unilocal this morning, and was extremely pleased with the outcome. I am sorry I don’t know the name of the person who worked on my nails because I would like to recommend her. Though English was difficult for her, she was able to explain the work needing to be done, And proceeded to do an excellent job. She said she has been doing nails only one year, but the job she did, was that of someone who had far more experience.

I’ve been here twice. I thought the price for a regular mani-​pedi was a bit expensive considering this is not a metropolitan area like the salons in the Bay Area. The place was packed, they were fully staffed and they seemed to have a loyal clientele. My experience? I can’t say the job on the nails was bad, but the massage lasted 30 seconds. I did like that they use a hot stone on your legs, but it was more of showing your legs the stone than an actual massage.
I would only go here if I didn’t get a chance to go to my regular salon. The first time they gave me a color swatch and they didn’t have the 3 of the colors I wanted, so I ended up settling for the 4^th choice.
I think they have so many people that they want to rush you in and out. I don’t like to feel like I’m been rushed. For me the nail salon is a place I go to relax and enjoy. If you are in a hurry, then I guess this is the place to go. I can’t say it’s all bad, just not my favorite place.
They do have OPI nail polish and many spa chairs. The decoration reminds me of the Paris Hotel in Vegas, all clouds, so you feel like it’s a sunny day anyday.
I’m going to say, meh I’ve seen better, but… I’ve also seen worse.

Recently moved here from San Jose n this by far is the best pedicure I’ve ever had! Employees were very friendly & sweet. Love this place I will definitely be back!!!

I told myself a long time ago I wouldn’t go back here, but because of a tight schedule, I did anyway. Mistake. Worse than I remember. I got in quickly, which is unusual, and the manicure (with gels) was quick but quality is horrible. My nails were very uneven after she filed them. I showed her & asked her to fix them, but when I got home I had to file them again myself. Definitely done with this place now!

This place is just okay. I got my nails done here yesterday for my aunts wedding next week. They’re very average and really not even worth the 25 $ I payed :/​I’ve gotten them done better at other places. I feel like with how long those people have been working there, they would have done a better job. Needless to say, I won’t be coming back.

I won’t be coming back. This was my third and last time getting shellac and any other service from here.
It’s less than seven days and YET again, my nails are chipping. I’ve never had this problem is any other establishment with shellac unless they are thinning their supply. I’m not gonna pay close to $ 30 to be ripped off. Terrible quality.
Also, the pedicure is a rip off too. I’ve gotten far service for less money. The lady took away my remote too, saying she was going to «borrow it» and gives it to another customer in the middle of my pedicure. They had one remote for all their chairs because the others are broken. Also, there was nothing put in the water and she scolded me with extremely hot towels. When I told her it was too hot, she told me i was «sensitive». No lady, when you lifted the towels and you see my skin is bright red, it’s because your towels were too damn hot. They don’t have any prices listed/​displayed.
Don’t let the superficial décor fool you, this place is far from elegant or reliable.

Clean comfortable salon but can be very busy and service, especuially pedicures can be rushed.

Great find in Los Banos! I was in town visiting family and looked on Unilocal to see if there were any decent nail salons in the area, boy was in luck! Right on the main drag (Pacheco) is Elegant Nails. It was $ 20 for a pedi and $ 10 for a mani, pretty standard. We were kind of pressed for time so my mom and I only got pedis. The women there did a great job. I was pleasantly surprised that they used hot stones, warm towels and massaged our legs really well. This is a great hidden gem and I would suggest people either of Los Banos or passing through to stop in for some quick pampering.

Live in San Jose and was visit a friend that lived in town she used this place may times for a pedicure. I need a fill and pedi anyways it had been 3 weeks so I said lets go. Didn’t wait long. They did my nails and pedi at the same time which doesn’t make the pedi as comfortable because you are leaning over for the person to get to your nails. Especially when you have had back surgery.
I asked for my tip color to be changed. She started filing my nails and before she put the new color on I asked her why all the old color had not been filed off all the way and she said it would be fine. Then I told her the nails were too thick I wanted them thinner. She filed the underneath side of my nail and almost nothing off the top.
When I got home and in the sunlight to fully be able to look at them you could still see the orange I had previously had along the edges and the entire underneath was still orange and my real nails had been filed to nothing. I immediately called the shop and spoke to the owner.
She said to come down to see if she could fix them. So we had to get back in the car and go back down there. She took one look at my nails and said that she could fix the one but the others were fine. I argued that they were not and that I wanted a refund so I could have them fixed at my normal shop back home. She refused.
I have had my nails done for years with color changes and never had an experience like this. The owner was rude, confrontational and not even willing to refund my money. I would not trust to have her even try to fix them. They would have to soak them off since I refuse to try to let them rip them off. They they still wouldn’t be able to fix them to what they should have been because my real nails are gone and I do use tips.
So I am pretty much screwed and will have to wait till my nails are long enough to fix correctly. I will never use this shop again. I should have just waited till I was back home to go to Vanessa’s nails where they put this shop to shame.

Very surprised at how great this place was! One of the best pedicures I’ve ever had and I’ve gotten a lot of pedicures — I religiously get my nails done every 2 weeks.
From the outside it looks dingy, on the inside it is beautiful! Clean, modern, pretty décor, great massage chairs, very friendly, great English, lots of color choices. Extremely thorough pedicure and very relaxing. Only $ 20 and you can put the tip on your credit card (I hate when they require cash for tips — who carries cash these days??)
Definitely recommend this place. It’s right on Pacheco so if you’re driving through to LA or Bay Area, it’s a nice place to stop for a bit of pampering and something to eat (but that part is for another review…)

Do NOT be turned off by the outside, or the surrounding area, OR the fact that it’s Los Banos. The inside of this place is very professional, clean, and updated.
The staff is friendly, and quick. We walked in on a Sat afternoon and waited 5 mintes before I was getting my nails done and my mom was in a pedicure chair.
Next time I’m doing both nails and toes, because the massage my mom got made me want to jump in the chair next to her!
It was a great find, and when you’re just driving through (hour 2 of 5) it was supper relaxing, and well priced.
