Elle Nail & Spa

The most expensive pedicure I have ever had, but omg it was amazing. So worth it. Can’t afford to do it often, but it’s a nice treat.

Large, clean salon with massage pedicure chairs. Judy did my pedicure and she was fantastic. Long massage on both feet with hot stone and hot towels. Very comfortable and relaxing and great prices too. Large selection of colors and options for pedicures. I would definitely go back!

Went to palm nails first and experienced very poor customer service so I left and came here. What a difference! Everyone is nice and place is very clean. Prices are fair as well

Absolutely wonderful service. Every one is friendly and professional! I found their prices to be lower than a salon in Berlin that I previously went to. Very clean!

My first time at this nail salon and it was great. Very busy on a Saturday morning. Just a sign that it’s a good place =] even without an appointment I didn’t wait very long. The staff is so nice and none of that foreign language drama. I got a basic pedicure and a shellac manicure and I paid 63. You get what you pay for; *quality.*

I love this place! Staff is friendly and kind. This place is relaxing, peaceful and clean. They do a great job on gel manicures and spa pedicures. I will definitely continue going back!

I love Han and his staff. I feel welcome every time I come here and always leave with a great nail job. The prices are very competitive and the spa is amazing. The decorations in here are a must see. I usually get a Mani and Pedi here and tell everyone who needs one that they should come here.

My friend and I went for a pedicure today– we asked for regular pedicures but were given green tea spa pedicures and ended up paying a lot more before we realized why the price was so high. When we reminded them that we had asked for regular pedicures they still charged us for the more expensive ones. While the pedicures were great the experience was ruined for us because of the misunderstanding.

I was so pleased with my mani and pedi. I wish this place was in Long Island! I would go every day!

I really have never had such a peaceful and wonderful experience getting a mani/​pedi as I did today. Danny and Sophie were both phenomenal and so kind. It was also very cool to see the owners in their shop, working, and so clearly invested in the happiness of their customers.
I came here on the recommendation of a close friend and I will most certainly be back! The spa pedicure is just what this bartender needed to rid me of my sore, sore feet.
Thanks Elle!

I have only been here once. My standard pedicure was good. A different girl took care of my gel manicure — this was below average. I was having old gel removed and new gel put on. There was never a point where I was asked to wash my hands, and I didn’t get any paraffin hand treatment — this surprised me a little as I am used to it at other salons. Also, from experience, salons usually have your hand resting in a bowl of water with moisturizer at some point, so when they clean your cuticles they are soft and easily removed. There was none of that here! My hands/​cuticles were bone dry and I was uncomfortable the entire time because of it! Not sure if this is the norm but I won’t go back for gel because of this experience. Even weirder, I got three back/​neck massages by three different employees. I’d trade those in for a better gel manicure.

This was my first visit to Elle nails and I will definitely be back. Their customer service is outstanding, I was greeted by someone as soon as I opened the door. I picked the color for my toenails and I whisked away to a chair that had a tub ready for me. My attendant was very very detail oriented and she made sure to ask if I needed anything every few minutes. I recently moved to the area and this is my new go to nail salon!

Came here today for the first time and loved it! I like how they use a board to file and not those drill type sanders… Han, the owner, did my fill and it was perfect. I loved the warm towel massage and lotion at the end and there was no charge for cuticle trimming. The space is clean and decorated nicely. I will def be back!

Love this place. Keep coming back because the treatments are awesome and staff is so nice.

I have been told that this is the place to go! Beautiful inside, nice and clean and very friendly! I wanted the best most relaxing pedicure so I chose the Lemon Jelly Bath! Wow! Super amazing and definitely up to par with longest massage and relaxation my legs and feet have ever felt! It was worth the price and I left totally satisfied! I will absolutely be returning more often! Julie is my girl! #happyfeet

I just moved to the area and needed to find a nail salon that did UV gel. My friend highly recommended Elle but warned me it was on the pricey side. I had high expectations coming from my previous place out of state, but was pleased to see how busy the salon was when I arrived for my appointment (busy=good, right??)
Walking in, there was no one at the reception counter but after a couple minutes, I was greeted by a friendly man who had me sit in the waiting area. I waited for 20 minutes before I was seen. Strike one. When I was called, the nail technician looked at my nails and instantly called someone over. They seemed perplexed and the language barrier made it difficult to understand what the issue was. I waited for another 15 min. for someone different. What is the point of an appointment?!? Strike two. While waiting however, I did received a shoulder massage by two different people, which was pleasant. The woman who finally came over was so sweet but spoke absolutely no English, which was fine. She was a very slow worker and seemed inexperienced. She tried to take the uv gel off with acetone and had to ask someone what to do and he even seemed unsure. During my set, I received another shoulder massage by a different person that was way too rough and actually hurt me. Strike three. When she was finished, she did a thorough job and made sure I was happy with the outcome, but then tried to sell me on their VIP package, which I declined. I’ve been to other nail salons where the membership is free so I didn’t like how they charged you for it. Strike four. She ended the session when another shoulder massage but I politely declined since I was still in pain from the last person. By the time I left it took me almost TWO HOURS to get a gel set that came out decent. Strike five. I will not be going back and will continue my search elsewhere.
High prices, very slow, charged VIP membership, decent job, friendly staff and clean salon.

Hi everyone,
First of all, we would like to thank every one of our customers taking your personal time to post a review. This reviews are very important us going forward, making the best nail salon in Hartford area and of course Middletown!
We appreciate your business and for any comments/​concerns/​questions, feel free to contact Sally and/​or Han.

Always a great experience at Elle. Prices are a little higher than other nail places in the area, but well worth it. The spa is new, large and very clean. Lots of polish choices and no shady practices like reusing the paraffin (I still cringe when I think about how Palm Nail on Main Street peels the paraffin off your hands and dumps it right back in the tub to re-​melt).
They offer many pedicure options, they have a book at each pedicure seat so you can see what is included and how much each costs. I always go for the spa pedicures because I love the extra massage and callus remover. Today I got the lavender spa pedicure. So relaxing! The spa pedicure and a regular manicure cost $ 66 in total, which is not bad. All prices are inclusive if tax, which is also nice because most nail places charge tax on top of their set prices. If you join the VIP club you get your own box and accumulate points which you can turn into discounts off future visits.

Every visit to Elle is a special treat. The music, massages and manicures/​pedicures are top notch. Han and his staff are true professionals, not to mention how pretty the salon is would be a sin! Love it! I have been going since they opened and was there today for an awesome mani from Jenny!

First timer… I had a Lemon Pedicure
Best ever. The place was very clean
Everyone was very friendly
Coming back for set of gel nails
