Elegance Salon

Came here with a bridal party of 5 –a day before the wedding without appointments– and they accommodated us all for mani/​pedis on a Friday afternoon.
Lovely, clean salon and friendly people who run this place. Rickski (sp?) did my shellac manicure and he did a nice job trimming my cuticles gently and with good attention to detail. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a decently priced manicure or pedicure.

My husband and I dropped in to get mani pedis while in town celebrating our anniversary. Nicest ppl!!! We will definitely be back!

Best customer service. Friendly welcoming attitude. My grandmother has been coming here for years and wouldn’t dare see anyone else about her nails. I’d have to say I am almost the same. Enjoyable setting with shops and cafes surrounding so you can grab a bite to eat after a refreshing mani pedi or check out some jewelry next door. In all its a win coming to elegance.

The staff was very courteous and the paint on my toes and nails looks professional. The downside– 50 bucks for a just meh mani-​pedi. I’ve spent that at a full service spa and it included paraffin and a wonderful massage! This was more like a paint color change. I actually had to use a buffer on my heels because they were catching the sheets that night (dang I hate that!!). Granted, I did get gel polish, but I recently got the same service at a much nicer salon (with hand and foot massage!) for $ 45 with tip. Waaaay overpriced for mediocre service.

This was the WORST experience I have ever had at a nail salon. Leaving a nail salon crying with bloody fingers is something that should never happen.
My nails were buffed with the filer, but so were the rest of my fingers… She didn’t let me see my nails the whole time she was doing them, from the shoving of my hands in and out of the heater to roughly dragging my hands around. When I finally got to see my nails, none of them were the same length. When I pointed it out and asked her to fix them, she complained saying that most people like their nails long, apparently even if a couple are shorter then the others.
I felt like they were going to start bleeding from the start, but they only started bleeding after she was roughly trying to make them all the same length. When I pointed out that she cut my fingers with her nail file, she only went on with the process. The stinging of the lotion that she put on my fingers only made me want to cry. Hopefully she had not cut any other fingers with those files, for all I know I could now have some disease from any one else she cut…

Best nail salon in Half Moon Bay! I love these ladies! Great nails and great with eye brows. They are so friendly and personable, not like other nail salons :)

I had a wonderful experience at this salon. I am 9 months pregnant (and very uncomfortable) and decided last minute that I needed a pedicure as a treat. Elegance Salon is close to my house so I dropped in without an appointment and they were able to see me right away.
Everyone was very very friendly and the massage chair was comfortable. The sweet women who did my pedicure (I wish I got her name) did a great job and I am very happy with the results.
Friendly, affordable, and very convenient. I will definitely be back.

Very sweet women (and a great guy) who do a great job! Their shellac manicures last much, much longer than Holly’s or Galaxy. They are easily the best on the coast

Only have YEN do your nails if you go here =)

Such a disappointment.
An older woman greeted me and did my manicure, she was really nice, but left in the middle of my manicure to do something else for 10 minutes. My gel/​shellack nails started peeling after 2 days which shocked me since they usually last 2+ weeks.
A younger woman did my pedicure while she yelled at someone on her cell phone for most of the time. She was very distracted and clearly didn’t care that she was causing discomfort to those around her. I felt bad for the wedding party that came in for a «spa experience», they were obviously really disappointed by the cell phone yelling too.
Near the end of my pedicure she finally got up and walked away to finish her phone conversation elsewhere. I was grateful for the improvement in ambiance, but was surprised that she never came back to finish. Finally one of the other employees seemed to notice that I was looking around wondering what to do– she came over and finished my pedicure. Trying to leave was similarly awkward, I had to climb over 6 other women getting pedicures to get out… an act made more challenging with little paper sandals. I suppose they made good use of the space they have, but with all the pedicurists sitting in the walk way, couldn’t they just get up for a moment when someone needed to leave?
The lack of conscientiousness that I witnessed had be wondering if I was on a hidden camera TV show.
Thoroughly weird. Poor customer service, poor quality.

They do a very good job in a very good time frame.

SO awful. Went in for a brazilian wax (was recommended here by the place next door) The lady sat me down and said «This will be very, very painful» I told her I’ve had them before, no big deal. To spare the details, ended up with the worst waxing job of my life– serves me right for going to a place like this. The woman did not seem apologetic and when I pointed out how awful the job she did was she said «I did not want to hurt you»
Yeah. never going back, I hate leaving bad reviews but this was absolutely called for.

I like the fact that they always accomodate me and they are super friendly. The prices are reasonable and I always get my mani and pedi there for a good price. I also like to get my eyebrows shaped there.

They give an amazing pedicure! I’ve had pedicures in fancy spas that cost much more and they weren’t as good!
True the beautiful atmosphere of a spa isn’t what they offer, but if you’re looking for a pedicure that lasts you’ve found the place!
Payment is cash or check only

There are like 3 or 4 nail salons within walking distance of our new place… and I decided to give these guys a try first because they have good Unilocal reviews. But unfortunately, I ended up with the single worst manicure of my life (and I have had acrylics nonstop for the last ten years straight).
I’m giving them one star for taking me as a walk-​in and because they were SO nice and polite and sweet.
Taking off a star for cash and check only — no credit or debit cards accepted. And taking off the rest of the stars for the crappy mani I ended up with.
I came in for a fill yesterday. The guy who did my nails had a kind of weird approach to it. Ok, I figured maybe he has his own routine, whatever. But before I knew it, he was putting the UV gel on and putting my hands in the UV dryer. He completely skipped two very important steps — using the fine-​grain Dremel bit to smooth the acrylic (he ONLY used the rough one and my nails were like sandpaper) and he didn’t use a buffer block either. So when my nails were dry, they came out totally rough and uneven. The entire surface of every single one. WTF.
I’m gonna hit up the shop next door to them later and ask if they can fix this mess of a manicure for me. Jeez.
And on an unrelated note… maybe I should submit myself to
. Ha ha!

Cheap. Fast. Great mani/​pedi. I will definitely be back!

I wish they could spruce this place up a little with some nice paint and better art on the walls because for the price, this salon is the best for mani-pedi’s. I have been to all the salons in town (in this price range) and these guys are cheaper and better. It would be super if they just spent about 1 more minute on a decent massage… I’m telling you Elegance Salon owners… a little paint, more massage and you could develop quite a following! Also, this is a pet-​peeve of mine… I don’t like it when you don’t speak English in front of me. I know English may not be your first language but it is simply not professional.
