My husband and I have been coming here for over 2 years. They do an awesome job at pedicures, manicures, and eyebrow waxing. Highly recommended.

Amazing dip French manicure by Amber. She was so helpful with all my little requests. Equally satisfying pedicure! Very happy we found them here in our travels. Itll be worth the trip to repeat the experience.

I could not be happier with my nails by John. They are quick, clean, efficient and have impeccable customer service. I have strayed a few times and regret it each time.

Tina did an impeccable job with my dip manicure. She removed my old dip gently, without damaging my nails, and ensured all edges of my new dip were clean - even cleared the underside of my nails of any residual dip! All for an incredible value. I will be a return customer again and again.

Just went there yesterday and got a tremendous acrylic fill. They do an excellent job keeping the fill “thinner” so it looks just like natural nails. Couldn’t be happier!

I talked my husband into going with me to get a pedicure and we both had a great time.

It was my first time at their salon and they were very kind and made sure to ask me what I wanted and being clear that they were doing it right. They did quick work but it looks great and they make you feel very comfortable and relaxed. I really enjoyed their pedicures, they were very soothing and rejuvenating to my feet. They were also very gentle and painless when cutting and pushing back the cuticles. Great work! Highly recommend!!

Love Elite Nails! The owners/managers are really charming people, and all the employees are skilled and thoughtful. Every time I come I have a great experience. Ive been about 6 times so far. Last time, I brought my little girl as she wanted to have her nails painted too. Normally she is very shy, but they charmed her right away.

Elite is certainly the right name for this establishment. It took a minute to find a good place to get my nails done. The whole team is professional, friendly, and they do excellent work. I have been serviced by many in the shop, and never experienced an issue. The atmosphere is peaceful, clean, and everyone that leaves or those whom I’ve encountered seem very satisfied with their service.

Okay well, today was my first time going to this nail salon. I originally went in to get a gift card for a friend and I coincidentally needed to get my nails filled (weird right ?) anyways, I decided “hey I’m already here why not try it out considering my friend Elaine loves it here it can’t be that bad” ....Ladies and gentlemen I LOVED it. The atmosphere was light and fun. The gentleman (John...I think) who did my nails did a wonderful job and his beautiful daughter (Christina..... ?) helped me pick out the accent color, which by the way I was not going to do in the first place but her recommendation was excellent. The other gentleman that works there (Chris, and by the way Chris if you’re reading this .... hey) was very bubbly and fun. He kept a conversation about my nails going and walked around talking to all of the individuals in the room beside myself. Everything about this place was awesome. I can’t wait to go back to get another fill... this is one place I definitely don’t mind spending my money at.

I went in with a set I had done somewhere else that was uneven and sloppy and I came out with exactly what I wanted and they look absolutely amazing!! 10/10 would recommend

Review 13 (2022-12-20 - Rating: 5)
I have been a pedi client for 4 years and wouldnt go anywhere else. Tina and John are par none the best in customer service. Everyone is super and the end result extremely satisfying. I highly recommend them. And to boot..Flying Biscuit is 1 door down.

I went to this salon for the first time Van worked on my nails. She was very kind and took her time to make sure they looked perfect! She was very detailed which I really appreciate!! I type on a computer a lot and it tends to rub the top coat off the tips of my nails. She put another layer of the top coat on which was really appreciated. I made an appointment to go back...my nails look great and I know she’ll take time to make sure I’m happy with the end result. Thank you Van!

Amber did an exceptional pedicure. Elite Nails is always professional and takes walkins.

Review 16 (2021-04-09 - Rating: 5)
Tina and John (the owners) are the kindest most hardworking people you will ever meet - They are kind, friendly and welcoming and I have never left unsatisfied. Their salon is clean and inviting. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

Review 17 (2022-12-11 - Rating: 5)
Highly recommended!My sister and I went on a Sunday. They squeezed us in and took good care of us. The nail tech made sure to get attend to any special requests.

Review 18 (2017-07-12 - Rating: 5)
Love this place! I wont go anywhere else. They have a talented team that does a thorough job and theyre inexpensive. My feet feel brand new after each pedicure. In the past I have gone to other places in Gainesville that charge double and arent half as good as Fantastic Nails.

Review 19 (2018-12-20 - Rating: 5)
The only reason I’m leaving 5 stars is because there’s no option to leave more. I went in to treat my girl and honestly the entire experience was great, friendly staff and overall a welcoming environment . My girl got her nails done with Christine which she described as very pleasant kind and professional . 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to get your nails done or to treat someone to getting their nails done.

Review 20 (2023-06-17 - Rating: 5)

I absolutely love going to this salon! The owners are wonderful and staff goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is beyond enjoyable. Chris— you da bomb! Not only was my mani/pedi perfect, but conversation was super fun and you kept me laughing the whole time! Christine is a sweetheart too :) definitely would recommend!

Review 23 (2019-06-08 - Rating: 5)
I came in today with the worst nails ever from a different salon and made a miracle out of my nails!! I was sooo happy that they were able to fix them and I cant wait to show everyone! Highly recommend! Thank you so much! ❤❤💙💙❤❤

Review 24 (2019-11-23 - Rating: 5)
This marks my first “pedi” as they are apparently called. It was my daughter’s b-day (she’s 5) and she wanted me to come with her and her mom for their b-day tradition they started last year. I checked the reviews of the area and they had the best by far. That doesn’t always work, but this time it did.I went big for my first and got the Signature for $50 bucks...do this; it’s nail trim, foot spa, ju jitsu massage chair, calf and foot massage, stone massage, something called paraffin, and a buff shine job on my nails. Kim was my person and she did an amazing job. I don’t know how long I was there, but it felt like forever. When the girls were getting up for manicures, Kim was still at it (suckers, didn’t get the Signature). Long story short, my feet are now the most relaxed and most attractive part of my body. Everyone was warm and kind. Do yourself this favor.P.S. to the fellas...we’ve been missing out.

Review 28 (2014-12-01 - Rating: 5)
Best nail salon in Gainesville! Ive been going to Fantastic for 8 years & LOVE them! Jon & Tina are the owners & they pride themselves on building relationships with their clients & maintaining a clean, safe salon. They all provide excellent service & Im always happy with whatever I get. Sara & Bin are my favorites for manis & pedis. Sara & Tina are also very good at waxing, Ive heard numerous people say theyre the best in town. They use sanitized tools, clean & hot towels & the paraffin pedi is incredible. I wont go anywhere else! Theyre the best.

They do really great work but if you are looking for the spa experience, thats not here. However, if you want your nails done well at a great price. Go for it here.

John is the absolute best nail tech I’ve ever been to! I have been getting my nails done since my late teens, and there’s no one better than him! He’s the only person that “nails” the pink and white ombré acrylics.
