Elaine's Nails is a nail salon that has received mixed reviews from its customers. While some customers have had positive experiences, reporting that the salon is pleasant, quiet, and clean, and that the staff is skilled and friendly, others have been disappointed with the quality of the services provided. One customer praised the salon's gentle approach and the technician's expertise in acrylic nail removal, as well as the overall pleasant atmosphere. Another customer, who has been a regular for three years, commended the salon for its long-lasting gel manicures and the friendliness of the staff. However, one customer had a less than satisfactory experience, citing concerns about the lack of proper sanitization of the equipment and the chair, as well as the poor quality of the pedicure service, which included a brief cuticle service, a dull and light massage, and the failure to properly rinse off the oil and lotion after the massage. Overall, Elaine's Nails seems to provide a mixed level of service, with some customers reporting excellent experiences and others being disappointed with the quality of the treatments.
I have been going to Elaine’s for years. I always get great, friendly service and a nice mani/pedi. I’ve brought several friends and family members (even my husband!) over the years and they all agree that it’s a great experience.

One of the best nails jobs ever. I stopped in while visiting Orinda and the nails lasted forever.
