Elite Nails Spa

This was probably the worst pedicure experience I have ever had and it’s so unfortunate I was there a couple of weeks ago and it was an OK place so I gave it a second shot. Today I arrived for my 9:30 appointment at 9:22. I was finished at 9:50. I had to ask the guy to trim my very long nails. He acted as if he was mad about something he was throwing things around and when he rubbed my legs it was with so much force I thought I was going to be bruised. I will not be going back to this place

I find it less of a hassle when you call ahead and make an appointment, even if its 10 minutes before you arrive. That way you are sure to be seen right away. I’ve been here with my mother to get our nails done before my brothers graduation last year, the nail techs were very pleasant and professional. The place was bright and clean. We came on a Friday morning and surprisingly enough this place was packed. Good thing I called and made an appointment. We were serviced right away. Our nails turned out great and the pricing was great. Plenty of parking too. I just made my appointment again for my mother and I for this Friday morning, we’re attending my brother’s graduation again. this time celebrating his master’s degree.

I think I found my go-​to in Annapolis. I’ve been looking for a budget-​friendly, no fuss but detailed and fast nail technician and finally found Tina. I try to maintain clean nails for work but I don’t like the fuss and time-​consuming aspect. THEN, I found this sweet oasis right down the road.
Pro:
Super fast and thorough with painting to the edge and clipping cuticles (I have it bad with super dry skin)
Comfortably friendly (focused on your day and she let me in 45 mins to close)
Variety of gel polish swatches
Very kind — offered to give me change (even when I didn’t ask for it– I declined because she was that genuine)
Open until 8pm (I get off work late sometimes)
Cons:
No combo discounts (i.e. Gel mani and regular pedi price)
Promotions for regulars?
Lastly, need to test how long this gel mani lasts, then I can finally confirm the last star!

Clean, nice space and they did a great job on my mani-​pedi. And I love that they were quick, but not rushed.

Nails already chipping less than 4 hours later. Manicure was done hastily. Looking for someplace else.

I’ve been coming to this salon once or twice a month for over 3 years. Amy is my tech and she is excellent — a true perfectionist. When Amy travels or is out of the salon, I usually request Tina or David to do my nails. They are all great!
Note: They accept walk-​ins, but it’s best to call and make an appointment. Also, credit card payments are accepted, but I notice that they prefer tips in CASH.

I won’t trust anyone else to my pedicure but Tina. She’s very thorough and offers additional services only when absolutely needed. She’s a perfectionist which I absolutely love. Massage is great especially with the salt scrub. I also get the shellac manicure once in a while and she does an awesome job with the shape and the finish. Love this salon-​super clean and inviting. Tina and David are great!

In the area traveling for work. Needed my nails done and stopped in here. Tina did an awesome job. She took care of my cuticles (they are always horrible) and the gel manicure was great! Would definitely come back here!

They will seat you without explaining how much time you will wait. At times it is over 25 minutes — sitting in the pedi chair and the water has gone cold.

We tried this place out today after being disappointed by our regular place. Glad we did! Clean, professional, and relaxing. We both had the honey & milk pedicure, they didn’t skip over any step from the massage to nail color. We will be back!

EXCELLENT service!!! Jelly pedicure is one of the best. I will never go anywhere else!

Extremely clean, very great manicure/​pedicure. The man doing my toes was a little touchy-​feely (felt a bit like he was hitting on me), but he did a great job. Will definitely return.

I have been to Elite Nails three separate times and got pedicures and manicures by three different people and loved it each and every time. I’ve also gotten my eyebrows down once and loved that as well. They are friendly, professional and clean unlike a lot of spa’s in the area. They always welcome walk ins, are very speedy with the services but still make sure to spend all the necessary time with you and are all around amazing. I could 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone.

I’ve been wondering where all my favorite nail technicians have been going. I’d find a new male nail technician at other salons who could do a good pink & white. I’d be relieved. I’d go to those other salons one or two months and then call to schedule an appointment with one of those guys and find out that they no longer worked at that salon. Now I’ve found where they are going! They are here at Elite Nails! Tony who used to do the pink & whites at VIP Nails — he’s here. David did my flawless p&w today. The atmosphere is really relaxing — this is my new nail salon!
