Elegant Nails & Tan

Absolutely horrible experience. The staff was incredibly rude.
I asked to see the gel polish colors, and the man working insisted I picked out my toenail color first. I wanted to pick my nail color first to make sure that they had a matching non gel color, so that my hands and feet would be the same color (my hands were going to be seen more so it would be the deciding factor if the color wasn’t also available in a non gel polish).
They also had a man do my manicure at the same time as a woman was doing my pedicure. After my hands were buffed I wasn’t even allowed to wash them before he started polishing. I also had a pillow on my lap that they sat the uv dryer on (used to dry gel polish) and it kept moving and messing up my nails because the woman was still working on my pedicure and moving my feet all around. Not to mention the device had to be plugged in and could have potentially fallen into the water with just the wrong move, and that is extremely dangerous.
I would not recommend this salon to anyone. They were rude, unsanitary, and have no concern for the safety of their clients (they risk potentially electrocuting their clients. Instead of taking a few extra minutes to polish at a proper station).

Came here on a recommendation from a friend — service was awesome and great prices to boot! it’s true what other reviewers have said — they have an abundance of space and employees, so even though it was busy when I walked in, I had no wait. I had a pedicure by Amy — it was so relaxing. I also felt like she actually took care of my nails, too, which is what I get pedicures for, so I was grateful. I also really enjoyed their massage chairs — sometimes that can be hit or miss at some places. I’ll definitely be back!

This is an amazing place and the staff is so friendly. The prices are so reasonable and the shop is very relaxing. I will make this my Greensboro home nail salon.

Perfection. I have been looking for a good and reasonably priced place for a mani/​pedi for a LONG time and here it is! The people are great, kind and do such a good job. It went above and beyond my expectation especially for the small price of $ 35. That is unheard of. Thanks so much!

The workers are very nice and the place is super clean! Their prices are also very reasonable :) I will definitely be a frequent visitor here.

Such a nice experience! The staff is very friendly although hard to understand at times. The salon is clean and they have every polish color you can possibly want. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. I was very pleased with both and the extra massage and foot rub was such a relaxing experience!

The best salon I’ve ever been to in all of my years of living. Love this place and the services they offer. Always, always a great experience.

I went to Elegant Nails after asking someone for a referral. I loved the experience while in the salon. I got one of their pedicures (the medium level one) and a full set of gel nails. Everyone was super nice, very friendly, and welcoming. I called ahead for an appointment, just to make sure that they’d be available when I arrived.
My pedicure still looks great, but my nails started lifting majorly by the end of the first week. I just moved to Greensboro from Dallas, and have never had nails that lifted like this. I’m not sure what happened, but I was pretty disappointed. It’s been just shy of two weeks since I was in the salon (time for a fill), and I’m going to have to get 4 out of 10 nails completely redone, because they’ve already come off.
I’d say if you are just going for a mani/​pedi, you’ll have a great experience!

I came in here for a classic manicure and pedicure on a Saturday morning.
(+) No appointment needed; they have a big staff, so it seems as though there’s always someone available. I didn’t see anyone wait.
(+) Relatively clean, though it did not appear as though everything that could have been disposable was disposable.
(+) Pricing was pretty reasonable.
(-) You walk in and wait to be noticed before someone barks at you what to do. I didn’t even have a chance to discuss what my different options are, and the menus were not handy anywhere. What if I wanted to branch out?
(-) Though they have the usual suspects (Essie, OPI, etc) as options for nail polish, they don’t seem to take very good care of the polish. You may want to bring your own; good luck making sure it comes back out with you.
(-) I had one of my tamest weeks of the year, and my nail polish was already chipped 2 days later. I think this goes back to the polish issue.
(-) This place is jam-​packed. Fortunately they use better lighting than a lot of similarly priced places so that it feels a bit warmer, but when another lady was seated next to me to get her nails done, it felt like we needed to cuddle.
Convenient enough to go back, but worth trying to find a better quality place.

Elegant Nails is the best ever. The shop is clean, soothing music, relaxing environment, and professional. They do not rush and make you feel like you are their only customer. Well worth the money.

Now, even I’m surprised more people haven’t reviewed this place. I went in there today after reading the 1^st review and loved it! It is not really a high end spa but they really do a good job.
Location — Almost opposite to target. (Exactly opp. to Steak n-​shake store on Lawndale), I walked in on a busy evening around 6.30pm and was taken in within 5 mins. Brendan was the one who worked on me and he was very friendly and professional. He made sure i was comfortable and did a great job. They do offer coffee and tea etc. and today there was a big church manicure/​pedicure party. Great place — $ 35 for a great mani/​pedi.
P.S– They accept credit cards over $ 12

I can’t even believe I am the first to review this staple of Greensboro. I’m always amazed at how often I hear someone raving about their nail salon and then, yep, it’s Elegant Nails. The staff is pretty consistent and so is the experience. This is not a fancy spa, but it’s a tried and true place to get your mani-​pedis (old school, gel and acrylic) and waxing (in private rooms). I guess they offer tanning as well, but I think they are down to one bed at this point and I rarely see anyone there for tanning. I do see men (manly men!) in there, by themselves, reading their magazine as they casually get their pedi. I’m still trying to convince my hubby of pedicure bliss, but so far, he won’t go there. But, I digress. In any case, in Greensboro, Elegant Nails is a great option. You can schedule group events (bridal parties, pre-​prom, etc), but you might want to call-​ahead and it might be hard to guarantee service for more than a few at a time. This place gets super-​duper busy, especially on the weekends. Oh, and two more tips, they don’t run credit cards for less than $ 10 and prefer tips in cash. Happy mani-​pedi everyone!
