Elite Nails

Jun 2025

I love Elite Nails! They are the best in Iowa City. The salon is clean, the service is impeccable, and my nails last a long time. I always enjoy chatting and am impressed that they remember my name. They are great about checking in about nail length, shape, and color throughout your appointment, so you won't walk out disappointed. Be sure to call for an appointment, because they can get busy, but it never takes longer than an hour, which works great with my schedule. They're my go-to!

Elite Nails is my go-to place. Every time I go in there, I'm always greeted with a warm welcome. Every person - not just the owner - has always been so kind and attentive to each person in their building. I think the repeat customers speak for themselves on why they continue to come back for years. Every time I'm in there, the owner is always chatting with someone whom she's gotten to know over the years and asks about family and work etc... That's the kind of local business I'm so happy to support and as long as I live in Iowa City, this is my nail place. I've tried other places and have always left in regret not coming to Elite.

I love this place, I have been going here for years. The ladies are all so friendly and the attention to detail is always stellar. They care about doing a good job and will never make you feel silly for being particular about shape, length, anything. I won't go anywhere else in the area, I feel like I've tried them all and Elite Nails has literally never disappointed. Check out how well my gel and chrome held up after a full shift of serving!

Requested style: Long coffin tip black gel, short pinkie French tip, and gold chrome on my two nails that broke - so happy w how it came out
