Nails by Elizabeth

I had purchased a LivingSocial voucher but they were so difficult to book an appointment and my voucher has expired ! The lady is rude and I was very unhappy with the whole deal. I just wasted my money. Don’t go to this place.

I bought a Living Social coupon and Elizabeth and I were playing phone tag back and forth. By the time I finally got her on the phone, my coupon had expired but she allowed me to use it at her next appointment a week later. She was a nice, friendly lady. She used a brand new kit for cleaning, cutting, pushing my nails, so that was nice. My cuticles were cleaned and she didn’t cut me. My nail polish painted on my fingers was just ok but four of my nails had jagged ends that got caught on my clothes the same night I got my nails done. I had to go over then again with a nail file just to smooth them out. OK nail deal but I wouldn’t go back.

If you look at my reviews, I do not give out one star until now. I am the lucky bunch that got an appointment in June from calling in multiple times in November. Yippy!
uh… my biggest problem with this place is the hygiene. I came here with my friend, we had back to back appointment, so we were there for each others company. She did not clean the tub between my friend’s pedicure and my pedicure appointment, and she didn’t clean anything in terms of tool, and they came out from the same drawer with out cleaning, soaking, no disinfectant in anyway applied.
My second biggest problem, talked back and refused to fix mistake. My friend asked her to fix a little unfilled section on the edge of the nail, she told her (word to word) «don’t look that close.» and refuse to provide service.
For the sake of my health and my mental health, I will not come here if it is free.

I saw Elizabeth once and loved her, she was nice and the people in the salon were also nice. I then went to use my Living Social voucher that expires June 17 and started to call in May to make an appointment. A month should be plenty of time to make an appointment to get nails done. She did not call back and I left a voicemail. Then, I called again and she called back leaving me a voicemail telling me she had nothing until July. I called three times more and she didn’t call back until the last time, when the voucher has now expired. All other businesses honor the voucher if you make the appointment before it’s expired and can’t get an appt. due to their schedule. Instead, she told me that I needed to pay extra when she finally called me back. This has been a total waste of my time and poor customer service. I would not recommend her to others, she’s not responsive, timely, or responsive.

i think with her aweful attitude she can’t get her business grow. She appears unprofessional. She doesn’t know the right manner to treat her customers. Even i tried to discard all the bad review and give her the benefit of the doubt, she was mean and rude to me. Hope you the best Elizabeth!

I bought the LivingSocial coupon for a mani-​pedi. I tried REALLY hard to get an appointment both here and at the place she first worked (Amazing Face) and not only was she «booked» constantly, she never returned calls or just never picked up the phone. I emailed LivingSocial to see if I could get credit or something and they were pretty nasty about it as well and didn’t offer me anything (but said that I «can still use the paid value of [my] voucher with the merchant for five years from the date of purchase!» Not too excited about that…) Pretty disappointing, I doubt I’ll ever use the paid value here or ever patronize LivingSocial again; I’ll just stick with Groupon!

I received a Living Social deal as gift and tried calling for an appointment. She never called me back. I had to give the voucher back to my friend who requested a refund.

I wish I could give ZERO stars review. Not sure who told her to sell so many vouchers when she had no cpacity to handle customers. She has been very rude on telephone and told me that just because I bought a $ 25 deal, I have to keep calling and calling every day as she doesn’t have any confirmed appointment that she can give me. I wouldn’t want to get any services from such a lame business person who cannot value its customers just coz they bought the service on a dela price. WHY was she selling deal prices anyways!!!
I finally called Living Social for a credit refund as I WOULD NOT TRUST HER. and sharing it here to warn all of you also… Good Luck if you still choose to go to her

I bought a $ 25 Living Social deal for a mani/​pedi in June 2011. I was surprised to discover how busy Elizabeth was the first time I called for an appointment. I had originally tried to get an appointment before I went on vacation but did not call in time so I just waited until I knew a special event (my brother’s graduation) was coming and then called a few weeks in advance :-)
I went in on a Friday afternoon and requested a French manicure and pedicure. Elizabeth charged me $ 7 extra for each which I thought was fair. She took her time with the pedicure and I definitely enjoyed relaxing in the massage chair while she worked. We then moved over to a table for the manicure. Elizabeth had me dry my toes while she worked on my fingers and then when she was done with my fingers she made sure I went through the drying cycle twice for my nails. I appreciated not feeling rushed to leave and credit the thorough drying with my nails not getting damaged on my way home.
I do use my hands/​nails a lot for work so my manicure only lasted about 1 week but it’s been 3 weeks and my pedicure it still holding strong :-) All-​in-​all I am very pleased with my experience and will definitely be back to see Elizabeth in the future.

I bought Living Social deal for this business last year in June. I called to make an appointment in July of 2011 only to be told that there are no available appointments until November! I call back in December, there was no one who picked up. I called again in January thinking the business may have closed due to the holidays in December… and again, no one picked up.
Today, we are now in April and I just called. No one picked up. WTF!!!
Mind you, this online deal expires in June 2012. So for almost a year of trying to book a stupid mani/​pedi, I’m done. It shouldn’t be this hard to f’in make an appointment for a mani and pedi.
So what did I just do??? My patience has been tried and I’m fed up!!! I called back Living Social to get a refund for this NOT-​SO-​GREAT deal.
If you are the owner of this business and you are reading this review, I would like to make one recommendation. DO NOT participate in partnerships with Living Social or other discount groups of the like if you cannot handle the demand!!!

I love Elizabeth! I have never had a bad experience with her service. I got a mani months ago and the polish is still on… I am long overdue for another one! I think the salon is lovely and the people she rents from a very nice and accomodating as well!
I think that the gals that weren’t happy were just being mean… try her out before forming any wrong opinions!!! She’s delightful!!!

sigh. she is a very sweet lady, i will give her that.
the place was supertacky. i know she is a renter, but i think she could’ve picked a better place. very white and creepy, and they were totally okay with a door-​to-​door salesman who came to interrupt my mani to sell me bubbles. weirdest thing ever.
limited polish selection, and kind of a cursory job on both pedi and mani. i was a little wigged that she uses the same set of tools every time, with a dunk in the blue sanitizing (i hope) container inbetween customers. i am very paranoid right now i am going to come down with some kind of fungal infection and will have to cut my hand off.
the mani lasted until i got home. they’ve chipped on every finger … except one pinky, where i just noticed she missed a whole side. toes seem to be intact.
i got a living social deal and will not do that again for a new place i don’t know. i like her as a person, but her work is pretty terrible

I purchased a Living Social deal a few months ago and finally got a chance to use it. I called the day before and made an appointment for the following day. Elizabeth is a very kind women and offered me something to drink before beginning. She did an excellent job cleaning both my toes and fingers and she was very meticulous.
I will definitely return to Elizabeth, she is close to my home and does a very good job!

I truly want to be able to give at least 2 or 3 stars, but…
PROS:
— Elizabeth is super-​nice and made sure I was comfortable and asked if I wanted water. Lovely person
— She did not try to engage me in superfluous small talk when I was obviously there just to get the mani-​pedi. It is nice when people notice your personal preferences and honor them.
— She TRIED to be so careful with my manicure in terms of not missing spots.
CONS:
— My pedicure tub was OVERFLOWING with bubbles even before I put my feet in. I like bubbles, but the 18-​inch high froth was ridiculous
— She used tools grabbed from a tray — they did not look sterilized. She almost took out a used-​emery board to use with me when she changed her mind and took out a new one (must have noticed my look of chagrin and disgust).
— She put on FOUR COATS OF POLISH on my toes. She was going to stop at one coat and I said that the color was too light. She added two, then went ahead and put on a third. She accidentally smudged it, so added a FOURTH COAT and — as she’d already done one nail — went ahead and added a fourth coat to all of my toes.
— I was asked to walk in my bare feet across a salon floor that had obvious clumps of hair from previous hair customers. Gross. I scooted to the manicure table with my sandals.
WHY I WILL NEVER GO BACK:
— A piece of towel fluff got caught on my ring finger. When she saw me trying to blow the wisp off, she LICKED HER FINGER — not once, but twice! — and tried to get it off my nail for me. I appreciate the gesture, and the thought, but OMG — you are not my mother! I do not like strangers’ spit, thankyouverymuch.
— My toenails smudged ON THE WAY HOME after the mani-​pedi. I think that is the very shortest amount of time one has ever lasted. The four coats were probably to blame.
— My manicure peeled off in an entire piece not only one finger, but on 4 different fingers on the DAY AFTER I go the manicure.
Nice person or not, shoddy work is shoddy work. I will do my own nails from now on and save myself the aggravation.

I highly recommend for no one to get their nails done here! I had a bad experience at this location. I bought the LivingSocial deal for the Mani/​Pedi. I called this place for weeks because the deal says to call for appointment. No one ever picks up the phone. I ended up leaving a message on a Wednesday for service on a Saturday. No one ever returned my call. So, I decided to go down there the following week since no one answers the phone or returns customer calls and I paid good money to receive service. I walked in and the first thing this Elizabeth says is. «Do you have a coupon?» I said «Yes, from LivingSocial.» she said, «We are not taking coupons today!» I was shocked to hear this. I said well I tried calling no one answers the phone is it working? She then continued to say. «Well did you leave a message?» Rude! I said, «Yes, I did and no one calls back, can I make an appointment now?» she looks at her book and tells me, «There is no opening» I said «What about next week?» she said «No we are full». I told her «NEVER MIND!» and walked out. I was so upset at how this women handled herself, her so called business and how I was treated in front of customers. I contacted LivingSocial for a refund. They were more then accommodating and refunded me. I love LivingSocial and have never had a rotten deal until now. However, I will still continue to buy great deals from this site. I just want you to know what I experienced and hopefully no one else will feel like I did

I haven’t even been there yet, and I already can’t stand this place.
Same as the others, I got a deal online, and there was absolutely no availability for over a month. When I called, I was told no one there could book the appointment, so they’d call me back. They didn’t (for 2 weeks). So finally I called again, and found out it’s impossible to do 2 people at the same time. Know this — you can’t get a mani/​pedi with your friends. One of you will get to sit around for an hour before it’s your turn. Then, when I tried to schedule a time, she insisted on having the voucher number upfront to even make an appointment.
I don’t know what she thinks people are expecting, but it’s not this.

Lousy service!
Cuticles were not treated, polish cheaped on the third day.
Heels were not taken care of.

I purchased a deal on line for a mani/​pedi and I had a difficult time acquiring an appointment. I was asked to push it out for 3 weeks; found that I was not on the books when I called back to confirm, and treated unfriendly when I asked what was going on. I was granted an appointment finally, on the third call; only to receive an unpleasant experience.
I was clearly made to feel unwelcomed for pushing the customer service issues in booking an appointment. She gave be digs on being put out by my appointment request the entire time. I was asked the reason I wanted to be seen so soon, since it was only three weeks after purchasing the deal. Soon? She explained that I had no expiration date. So? I booked and they gave me an appointment that did not exist twice, so of course I want to be done with them.
The manicure and pedicure was textbook basic and quickly done. My nails chipped by the 3^rd day, she used polish thinner in the old sticky polish. My toes are fine, but the dryness on my heels were not taken care of by this pedicure. Yes it was clean and my nails shaped nicely, but the attitude was unfriendly and it was not worth any price. It’s not the customers fault they sold 1000 plus mani/​pedi deals!!! Deal buyers beware, don’t push the customer service issues on booking the appointments if you want to be treated like you’d normally expect.
