Booking Tips: How to Get the Most Out of Your Nail Appointment
Your nail appointment should feel like a treat — not a stressor. Whether you’re visiting Elite Nails & Spa for the first time or you’re a regular who wants to maximize your service, a little prep can go a long way toward ensuring a flawless experience. Here are our top nail appointment tips to help you walk in confident and walk out glowing:
1. Arrive on Time (or a Few Minutes Early)
Showing up 5–10 minutes before your scheduled appointment helps you settle in, choose colors calmly, and ensure your nail tech stays on schedule. Running late? Give us a quick call — we always appreciate the heads up!
2. Come With Inspiration (But Stay Open!)
Whether it’s a Pinterest screenshot or a celebrity look you loved, bringing design inspiration helps your tech understand your vision. Not sure what you want? No worries — we’ll guide you through options that fit your style, lifestyle, and budget.
3. Communicate With Your Nail Tech
Don’t be shy! Let us know:
- If you’re in a hurry or have time to relax
- If you’ve had past issues (sensitivity, peeling, breakage)
- What shape, length, or finish you prefer
Good communication = great results. Always.
4. Know What Services to Book
Want length and strength? Book Dip Powder or Acrylic.
Prefer shine without damage? Go with a Gel Manicure.
Need serious TLC? A Spa Pedicure with Hot Stones is your best friend.
Feel free to ask us which service best suits your needs — we’re happy to explain.
5. Have Payment & Tip Ready
We accept multiple forms of payment, and tips are appreciated in cash or digital format. If you’re unsure about how much to tip — a general rule is 15-20% for great service.
