Elaine's Nails

Mar 2023

Both my daughter and I had mani/pedis today. Elaine was gentle and took her time with my nails. She shared her perspective on acrylic nail removal and I was pleased with the information and my nails at the end of the treatment. The shop is pleasant, quiet and clean. We will return again, thanks, Elaine and crew!Services: Pedicure

I have been going here for 3 years. It’s the only place I’ve found where the gel manicures last 4 weeks. Everyone that works here is skilled and very friendly. I moved from Orinda and still drive back to get my mani and pedi here. They are the best!

Bummer all the way around. Wanted to love this place as was recommended by a friend but my pedicure just didn't meet the mark. My nail technician began with doing a very poor job of sanitizing the chair I was to sit in and it is worth noting that the utensils she used did not appear to be sanitized either. Instruments did not come in sealed package and technician sanitized only one of instruments she used by squeezing some rubbing alcohol on the item before use. Ugh. Additionally, cuticle service lasted about a minute what was done to one foot was not done to the other foot - things like cleaning under the nails and so forth. The massage was dull and too light to do anything good for legs or feet and there was no rinsing of oil/lotion off after massage was over. I am used to hot rags after massage and a fresh towel to dry legs and feet when massage is complete. In fact when I put my flip flops on when it was all over my feet still had oil on them and I almost slipped out of the flip flops on my way to the car. The salon seemed busy and I wonder if current customers know how much better a pedicure can really be.
