Elaine’s Nails

This place is friendly clean and fast! They do a great job! Every time I go in there no matter who does my nails I leave looking great!

Worth every dollar. Mimi is flawless. The quality of nails I get here surpasses all others. She’s been taking care of me for years. Whenever I cheat I swear I regret it fully. Elaines nails is deff where it’s at. Plus it’s open late! Great for an industry girl like me.

Found this place on Unilocal and decided to stop by. I’ve been paying 35 $ for my nails at Signature Nails, but they have the shittiest service. (If you’ve ever gotten the guy there you know what I’m talking about). I went in to Elaines nails at like 8. She got me in right away even though they were busy and getting multiple calls and appointments. Firstly, the salon is gorgeous. Sort of like a tiki island style. It’s big and wasn’t lonely at all for being late on a Monday night, it was busy. I love that they’re open til 11 so I can go after work. Elaine, the owner, did my nails. She was funny and super kind and even offered me water, tea or soda. It’s so hard to find a nail salon that is very good at doing coffin shaped nails, but she did them beautifully. She took her time to make sure my nails were perfect ! I love them and will be going back, every time from now on.

I absolutely love Deanna! She’s new but she takes pride In her work and does a beautiful job! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Elaine is amazing! I stumbled upon this gem after breaking 2 nails at around 8 pm and having work later that evening. Super stressed, I decided to go to Get Nailed, went to Unilocal their info, and Elaine’s popped up. Since I lived in Summerlin South, it was convenient, so I called and she was open for a 9 pm, I believe.
Elaine has a great spot! She’s extremely friendly, is open late, and gives you beautiful nails every time!

I want to love this place because, who does nails at 9:00pm? Only this place does! The staff are trying to be friendly, albeit the language barrier.
My favorite is Kate. I always get the regular pedicure and gel nails. My gel nails never last. The max number that they did not chip was 5 days:(

Best nail shop in town. Elaine is a peach and Vanessa a skilled artist. I’m always pampered here.

I actually love this place. I once «cheated», went to another nail salon and had a horrible experience. I been loyal to this nail salon since.
Today I had the worst experience, I wanted to throw a fit. I usually get my nails done by Colina or Jessica, but today an older lady did my nails. So I haven’t done my nails for 2 months because I have a tight schedule. The lady who did my nails today looked at my nails like it was some kind of monster. First, she cut my nails with gel. Usually they would take the gel out first, but I trusted her anyway.
I told her I want my nails short. I never said short as in all the way short to the point where it would hurt. She would file my nails so hard that she’d be filing the meat under my nails. I said «ow» and she responds «it’s not me, it’s you» since I said short nails…
She would push my hand, making me think she wants me to put my hand under the uv light and she gets all mad And says to wait for her signal then says «just say sorry» … I have never experienced horrible service from this place till now. I never even bothered to ask her name all I know is she’s table 4!
I know I’m still coming back… But I now just have to be strict about who does it from now on!

Have been doing my nails with Jessica. Love her she is very friendly & percise she loves her job her clients i would 100% recommend her :)

Elaine’s is awesome! My regular nail tech moved out of state and I was looking for a new nail place. Friends said to try this place and also I saw good Unilocal reviews.
I was able to make a same day appt for later in the day for my friend and I. Elaine greeted us and gave us the bin of gel colors to choose from, I mentioned a design and she said «we can do anything you want!» She was very pleasant and friendly!
I was given Vanessa as my tech — she made my nails look amazing! I haven’t had acrylics in FOREVER and Vanessa said what I was looking for would look great on acrylics, i didn’t feel pressured whatsoever, and she was right, they look great!!! She also waxed my eyebrows too.
Will definitely be a repeat customer, very pleased!

I don’t think the young woman that started to do my nails understood me when I told her my nails were weak. She used nail clippers to shorten my nails. Took a chunk of my fingertip… Apologized sincerely, put rubbing alcohol on the cut, then proceeded to nearly take a chunk out of the tip of my next finger!

Wonderful nail salon. Got a pedicure today and enjoyed my service and outcome. Will return :)
This is an update. My second time with a different tech and same 5 star impression. Caitlyn did my nails with design. Took her time, and did a wonderful job!

Caitlyn does the best acrylics! I will not go to anyone else. I like this salon and their late hours, but I am hesitant to get pedicures nowadays from anywhere that does not have the plastic cover in their pedicure tubs. Besides that, this place is the real deal.
They have coffee and a sweet woman who always brings me water, coffee or whatever else anyone needs to feel comfortable. If you need great acrylics, Caitlyn is meticulous with her shape and will provide you will very natural appearing nails.

I came here because there were some really good reviews. Positives: open till 11pm. They all seem knowledgable. My girl did an awesome job with my acrylic nails. Spent good time and was pretty meticulous for how quick she was. Everyone else in there seemed happy tooNegatives: not alot color choices. They didn’t have gel acrylic. Just acrylic powder.

I recently discovered Elaine’s about a month ago after I began searching for a nail salon near me. To start, there is plenty of parking right in front of the salon. The salon itself is super spacious! There are easily more than 10 stations for manis and plenty extra pedi chairs.
The first time I went in I had called ahead to ask how long their waiting time was. The receptionist, I believe Elaine herself, informed me that there would be a 30 minute wait. When I arrive not more than 5 minutes later I was assisted within 10 minutes which I used to choose a gel color. I got a full set of acrylics and a gel color. The technician was very friendly and patient with me since I was indecisive about the shape I wanted. She would stop often after a couple minutes worth of work to check that I was happy with the progress. She worked quickly while maintaining the quality of the work. I left extremely happy just about an hour after I walked in for an acrylic set and a gel mani. I paid $ 55 for the work plus tip.
I just returned from my second visit at Elaine’s and was again treated with great and swift work. I returned a little over 3 weeks after my acrylic and gel mani to remove the acrylics. Not because they were done poorly but because I was over them and wanted to return to my natural nail.
Jessica assisted me today and she did great work. She was very gentle when removing the acrylics and was very careful not to damage my natural nail since I wanted to keep as much length as possible for my gel mani. Jessica paid amazing attention to detail and was not afraid to go over some work to perfect it. She added extra base and top coats to strengthen my very thin natural nail from the removal of the acrylics. She was very meticulous and did an amazing job. I paid $ 40 for the entire manicure. $ 5 for the removal and $ 35 for the gel mani plus tip. I’m very happy with the work and will definitely be returning.

This is my first ever Unilocal post! & I had to give the biggest shout out to my favorite nail salon !!!
Elaine, the owner, is super friendly & welcoming.
Just recently I’ve started to get my nails done by JESSICA! Hands down AMAZING. She makes my visits very enjoyable. She’s also a perfectionist, I’ve never met someone who’s got the shape down like she does.
Picture showed is my real nails w/​an acrylic overlay =)

I chose this nail salon because of the high reviews and because it’s open until 11. My manicure was lifting on ⁷⁄₁₀ of my fingers and one nail had the top half torn off due to the lifting. (This was the work of another nail salon, not Elaine’s) Here’s what I thought :
DATE OF SERVICE: 9÷18÷15
PRICE: I paid $ 40 for an acrylic fill, nail repair on 1 nail, and a gel manicure and left an $ 8 tip. I thought the price was fair for the quality of service and work I received.
NAIL TECH: My tech was Tina, who was awesome! She was gentle with my broken nail, made sure she knew what I wanted, and was time efficient while still doing excellent work.
POLISH SELECTION: There are 4 turnstiles with regular polish and a whole box full of gel samples. There is a vast array of multiple colors, including glitter colors, instead of just reds and pinks like a lot of salons have.
CLEANLINESS: The entire salon is kept very clean with stuff members constantly looking for messes. I am very picky about this and was happy to find a salon that is kept to a high standard!
SALON: This place is huge! When I walked in around 9 pm, there were 3 girls ahead of me. I was quoted a 30 min wait but was seen within 10.
GENERAL THOUGHTS: I didn’t realize how bad the other salon did until I came to Tina. She was gentle, knowledgeable, experienced, and provided an excellent quality manicure. I am very pleased with my experience and will continue to come to Elaine’s!

I don’t even know where to begin telling you how much I love this place! Elaine is an amazing business owner and runs her shop like a true professional! She always always on top of things and has you taken care of.
I am VERY PICKY and have had technicians start all over again but I’ve never had to do that here. Elaine and Vanessa are my favorites!!!

Date of Service: 8÷15÷15.
Polish selection: good for regular polish but great for gel polishes.
I brought my own colors out of my collection but I wouldn’t be worried if I came without them.
Service: excellent. I was seated at a spa tub right away, although I didn’t have an appointment. There was a very kind lady who was offering drinks and making sure I knew they had purse hooks to be able to hang my purse off the floor, as well as ensuring I was comfortable. Jessica did both my pedicure and full set. She was sweet, paid attention to detail, and gave me exactly what I asked for in shape, length, and thickness. I plan to make an appointment next time just so I can request her.
Cost: Average. I have found that Las Vegas nail salons are generally a bit overpriced, but for the area and the work, I have no complaints. I previously frequented Polished, whose work is also great, but the cost is prohibitive so I can’t go as regularly as I prefer. Now that I’ve found Elaine’s, I can go back to bi-​weekly appointments!
This was my first visit and I decided to go based on the fact that this place is super close to my new house and had fairly good Unilocal reviews. The inside of the salon is clean, staff is friendly and professional, the service is great, and it is conveniently located. I will be going back, as a regular.

Yet another fab visit at Elaine’s. If I could come here daily I would. It’s always fun when I’m getting my nails done.
Periodically, I’ll read new reviews that have been added just to see how things are. I gotta tell ya… while I am an Elite Unilocaler, I really wish there were controls in place to force people to reveal more about their experience (s) at a business, thus making the review more credible.
For instance a recent reviewer implied she’s a regular here. Well, she’s not. Read her reviews. They are only about nail salons & go kart tracks. She goes to whatever nail salon she feels like. She is loyal to no one. She also left out of her review the part about how she repeatedly commented about how she loved her nails during shaping, polishing, etc., only to demand a redo because SHE changed her mind about what she wanted. TWICE! She also failed to mention how she swore at everyone in the salon & it was SHE who ruined her own nail and now blames Elaine. Everyone knows just because your 4 coats of polished nails bake under a UV light for a few seconds doesn’t mean they are 100% dry. Dry to the touch yes, but never through & through. My point is… consider the source.
Some reviewers should really learn the definition of customer service. Good service doesn’t mean being given your way after you’ve thrown a tantrum. Elaine bends over backwards to make sure every customer leaves happy & returns. She will do what she must to fix an issue, or make it right the rare occasion when she can’t fix it. THAT is good service. Most business owners should strive for this.
She won’t however, allow unreasonable & crazy people to verbally assault her or anyone else in her shop, nor will she kill herself trying to please those who, no matter what you do, will never be pleased.
Elaine is good people. She’s honest, funny, smart, & talented. It’s always a joy to see her. I’ve never had an issue with my nails chipping, cracking, or breaking and I am very hard on my nails. I’ve gone more than a month between fills & my nails are still intact. Nappy, yes, but never broken or missing.
As for these psycho, 1-​off reviews… Elaine’s rating speaks for itself. My point behind this is this: use some common sense, check out the people leaving the bad reviews & see if they leave negative reviews everywhere they go, if they have any Unilocal friends, and if their profile compared to their reviews make sense.
There are 5 nail shops in walking distance of my front door. I come here because I like coming here, my nails are awesome, and because Elaine puts up with my crazy ideas. If she truly were the nasty person some of these Unilocalers make her out to be, I wouldn’t drive 20+ miles out of my way to see her several times a month… I’d walk across the street & save some gas. I’m a regular here & will stay one.
