First, I would highly recommend making an appointment prior to your visit. I believe this will make the experience much better.This was the best experience I’ve had at a nail salon in the longest time. They were on time, extremely kind, and observant of your needs. Both nail technicians that took care of me were amazing and one of them took the extra time to massage my hands longer when she noticed how relaxed I was. Highly recommend!!
I am beyond impressed with the service provided! I came in for a pedicure and despite being busy they went above and beyond to make my experience great. I will be coming back again. Missy did a wonderful job and gave an out of this world foot massage.
Reliable service, high quality. They do a good job with men’s nails. My fiancée likes their gel. Seems a bit overpriced to me.
Tom is my favorite person! Megan is also great!
When I walked in they did not say Hello or try to help me. Two men who work here look me directly in the eye but neglected to try to provide me with service. I was going to get a fill & pedicure but quickly changed my mind & decided not to spend my money somewhere that seemed to careless for my business. Very displeased with this shop.
Got a no chip manicure and it was well done and stayed 3 weeks. Will definitely return.
Annie and Kevin are wonderful. The place is so nice, clean and staff is amazing. Highly recommend.
I LOVED IT!! This was my first time here and the lady that did my purple acrylic nails was so nice she even had to take a call in the process! But made sure everything was perfect. I will definitely be coming again!
I am an amputee male and sever diabetic. they do a great job on my nails ehivh help me avoid issues n give eonderful pedicure massages
The staff was friendly, but the quality of work was not worth it. The employee that did my nails filed into my nail bed and the dip was sloppy. I had to scrub my hands when I got home to get it off the sides of my fingers.I was in a bind when I went, since the salon I usually go to had shut down due to a Covid exposure. So I do appreciate them being able to get me in and take off my old dip, but I will most certainly not be returning.
Always get the BEST pedicure at Elegant Nails!! Beautiful atmosphere, no loud televisions and soothing music!
Very attentive, gentle on my old feet. It was and very pleasing.
Lee gave me the best mani and pedi I have ever had!!
Very clean and relaxing! The staff were gentle and you could tell they knew what they were doing. They were nice and I LOVE how my nails turned out. Overall the best nail salon experience I’ve ever had :)
Excellent! It was very organized in terms of Covid protocols. Extremely nice and professional staff that did a wonderful job. Will definitely be coming back!
I came in to remove my no chip nail polish and get my nails shaped. Kenny saw me right away and was so nice. He quickly got my no chip off, filed, buffed, and cut my nails. He also put 2 different coats of clear polish on!! All for $7, I will be back to see him soon! Also as a sidenote, they have a sign saying $10 is the minimum for credit cards and tip is preferably in cash. Money well spent!
Paid $55 for a set of acrylics that turned out horrible. One hand didn’t look too bad while the other hand was short and stubby with bumps. The paint was also patchy as if it needed another coat. Was very unhappy and won’t be going back.
I could have done a much better job myself. Nail polish chipped off within a few hours. Nail polish was very flakey and cheap quality. There were streaks in the paint as well and the top clear coatleft a sticky/tacky residue that did not prevent the polish from chipping off.
I love how detailed and professional they are. I mean even the massages are timed according to the type of pedicure. They are clean and very cautious of this infection with temp checks and making sure everybody washes their hands. This is my fourth time with them and it’s been the same. Haven’t had any bad experience yet, hoping I won’t.
Threw a fit when the two of us walked in on a week day. The next time we called ahead and they said they couldnt accommodate. This is a nail salon not a doctors office.
Ive been going here for several years. They have done a fantastic job every single time! It is clean and the staff is friendly.
Wonderful service while on my lunch hour, especially during COVID. Very clean and super nice people.
I walked in and got a great pedicure. Everything was as advertised. The place was clean and tidy. The staff looked cheerful and happy. The price was reasonable. I got good service and thats all we can ask for.
The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. They do great work and are priced very reasonably.
Best nail place around. Very friendly staff.
Very decent place, a little disorganized but friendly staff. Overpriced for the services rendered
It seems like every time I go there I get a someone doing my nails that is in training.
I have been going here for a few months now, and the nail technicians here always do a great job. I am very clumsy and broke a nail shortly after my manicure, and Megan generously helped me to fix it right away. The technicians here always take the best care of me!
This was by FAR the best pedicure I’ve received in Champaign over the last 10 years! They took their time, & I was 100% relaxed. I don’t know the name of the woman who gave me my pedicure, but WOW, THANK YOU! I will be back every time ♥️
Love how my nails came out didn’t catch his name but he did a excellent job on my nails.
Twice I’ve made appointments only for them to be double booked. The first time I understood and took someone aside from who I had booked with only to have my cuticle cut and later become infected to the point I needed an antibiotic. I absolutely adore Cindy so I thought I’d give it a second chance only to be double booked, again. Again they tried to pass me off to someone else. No apologies or explanation.
Amazing! So helpful. Beautiful job!!!Cindy was great!
I went to get the acrylic nails off and then get a manicure. 3 techs were talking about and making fun of me for getting them off. I only know this because one of the techs (who was not involved with the convo of the others) told them to shhhhhhh because I was getting upset. I have been going here for years and this really upset me.
We went here with a group to get our nails done before a wedding. The nails were done beautifully. The only think I might have changed was the speed with which they do things. Dont go here anticipating to get in and out. It will take a while.
Missy did my nails today and was very down to earth and friendly… I love my manicure!
This is the best place Ive ever been to to get my manicure done..... Lindsey does a fantastic job in that aspect. But I will sadly not be returning because she is not friendly at all! The last two times I went she would not even talk to me...I see all the other ladies who are getting their nails done and the nail technicians were talking and laughing with them. But when I tried to bring up a conversation she ignored me... and the way she kept jerking my hand around because it wasnt sitting in the position she wanted it in was ridiculous! I would have given a 5 star rating for quality. But, this is my second time going and getting the same technician who made me feel like I was an inconvenience instead of a customer. Makes me sad because I really like the environment and quality I receive!
Bright clean place and very friendly people
Ive been coming here for years! I love my nails and I always leaving so satisfied! I highly recommend!
I will never come back to this salon. I got a dip nail service done last week. Two days later two of the nails chipped, so I went back to the salon. They proceeded to repaint the two nails a different color!! During the service, I said This is not the right color, but the woman next to the man who was doing my nails was positive it was. I thought that maybe after the whole process it would actually be the correct color... it was not. Now it is a little over a week later and 5 of my nails have chipped a lot including the two that were repainted. I am extremely disappointed in my service and will not be returning.
Very nice facility, friendly staff! Love the massage chairs.
The woman who did my nails didn’t understand what rounded meant. She also filed my nails crooked. Every single one. The woman who did my pedicure was nice and did a good job otherwise I would not come back here. Rounded nails are not fancy. It’s pretty simple.
Amazing environment, everyone is extremely sweet. My nails looked amazing. Over all awesome experience 💜
They got me in quickly and did a great job. Definitely recommend the no chip manicure.
My daughter and I both got a basic manicure. The polish was practically ladled on. I have multiple edges to my layers of polish. Her French manicure borders are a mess. My cuticles are flaking and peeling a day later. Not worth our time, or our money. Two stars because they were friendly.
They are professional, clean, peaceful. Enjoyable experience and will be returning along with friends in the future.
It was wonderful set an electric chair soft cushioning so relaxing most of them are Vietnamese they dont speak a lot just to each other and its just a wonderful place to go I recommend it highly rather high but $25 for a pedicure its worth it especially if youre married
Mimi does my lash extension perfectly. She is very nice and accommodating. I enjoy my sessions with her.
Pedi was great and the gentleman did a phenomenal job on my shellac manicure. Will definitely be coming back
Best nail salon in CU! This crew has been taking great care of me for over 10 years....I followed them here from Mattoon! Ill never go anywhere else!!
The atmosphere is nice and its very clean, however I was quite displeased with a tech named Kenny. I requested him because a few weeks ago, he gave me a really nice pedicure. So on my second visit, I requested to have him give me a manicure. Let me also add, I find it very rude when Im being serviced and the individual speaks in a foreign language and starts snickering! If you cannot understand English, okay, I understand, but if you ARE fluent in English, just speak English to avoid any levels of miscommunication!Anyway, I explained to Kenny that I needed a fill for two nails that were cracked and I also wanted them cut. He insisted on using crazy glue to seal the cracks. Glue is better! He insists. I tried explaining to him that the glue (crazy) would not last and that I needed a fill in for both nails. Once more I requested to have my nails clipped. He did what he wanted to do and refused to clip my nails as well as give me my fill ins. Then he has the audacity to get upset and smack his lips when I showed him a smudge on my thumb! I was very offended considering I just paid the bill. He didnt even bother thanking me, let alone applying any nail (dry) spray on my nails. Im so glad I didnt tip him. I told the owner and she was very understanding. Hopefully the next tech I encounter will be more professional and accommodating.
Stopped in looking for a GOOD pedicure. We won’t be back. She used a salt scrub for my “7 min massage” it was dry and just made everything dry and raw. If you pick an upgraded pedi that includes a certain number of minute massage, you only get that. Not a regular pedi PLUS the extra minutes. Left w visibly dry, rough feet, a bleeding cuticle, and a lot of disappointment. I would’ve tried to explain all of this to them while it was happening but it didn’t appear any of them spoke enough English to understand my concerns. That’s the problem most of the time...can’t communicate. 😢
Danny Does a wonderful job with the pink and white nails
Had the best time getting ready for a wedding!
Just a lovely staff.. perfect. They offer gift certificate also
If you need your eyebrows done ask for Megan! Shes amazing!
I went there for a fill and pedicure, got there at 945 am, they did my pedicure which was wonderful, but kept taking more clients before doing my nails so after waiting over an hour, I had to leave without my nails done. And the worst part, they did not even care .
This place is very professional makes you feel like your at a spa but the extra money they charge ia not worth it. I can get my nails done at Queen Nails and they last longer and there not thick which i hate.
The best salon in Champaign. Splurge for the deluxe pedicure for the massage. Friendly staff who always offer drinks.
Super professional; high attention to detail!
Went to this salon because the one I usually go to was closed and got my nails done a few weeks ago. They’re already coming off and the lady I had didn’t paint them evenly. Also talked on the phone while she did them so that’s probably why they turned out so bad. Don’t waste your $, I’ll be sticking to Luxury Nails in Savoy!
Went on a Tuesday evening. Was serviced almost immediately. Nail tech wasnt too talkative but service was average to most nail shops. I got a gel refill and the next day my color started chipping BAD! Went back on a Friday late afternoon and had to wait a little bit (as expected) and Megan (Mimi) serviced me and fixed my nails, explained how they value customs service etc...recommended I make a appointment with her next time. Fixed my nails for free and gave me a mini hand massage. Definitely redeemed themselves. I plan on going back when I want acrylic nails again but I wont go to the first nail tech. 4/5 do recommend.
I went there 07/14 and my no-chip mani was completely peeled off by the 07/20. The lady who did my nails barely touched them with her nail file, didnt clean up the edges or any of that stuff. I hate leaving negative reviews for businesses but i guess i just expected a lot more from this business. The staff however were very nice and the place was clean.
I love this place they r very good! My nails r amazing when done!
Love Elegant Nails!Some of the technicians are better than others, IMO, but the prices are great, the staff is friendly, and even when I just drop in for an eye brown wax or mani/pedi they are always very accommodating. As far as the location, its pretty central to a lot of things and the locale is beautiful.
It is very clean, fast service, parking kind of socks but other than that I love it
Its a lovely looking place, but they did not have the polish i like and they kept trying to give me a mani when i clearly ask for a full set 3 times! Also had to wait a extra 30 mins for someone that knew how to do a full set. I will say she did do a good job though
Absolutely love this place and the people that work here. Very relaxing and very clean
Excellent service and the whole team is courteous and polite. Will recommend to all.
Wonderful staff. Clean shop. such nice people! 10/10 would come again!
Best nail salon in town. Kevin is very detail-oriented, fast, and friendly!
Wonderful. Very clean and staff is very nice.
Very clean, and sweet people. Calming, and relaxing environment.
Love this place! Best nail salon in town!
They are professional and fast
Super relaxing and took their time!
I took my mom here to get a manicure for mothers day....she has a disability and I couldnt have been more disappointed....she was passed around person to person to finally be told an HR later they couldnt do her nails....we havent had any issues at other places but because it was a busy weekend it was too much I guess....sad....
The nails dont stay on long.
Great staff Mimi and Cindy!
So as soon a I walked in they looked at me and said they wouldn’t do my nails it was 5:30 and they said it was too late to do my nails even though they closed at 7:30 they were finishing up on other ppls nails they were very rude didn’t even ask what I wanted to get done so don’t go to them
Very cool
Clean, good job
Very clean and friendly
LOVE
