Elite Nails will forever have my business for pedicures in the Valley. I live in Scottsdale and I drive over to Gilbert to get my nails done because the people in this salon are fantastic at what they do. The place is constantly busy, so appointments are recommended (calling the salon on the drive over is usually enough time to avoid too long a wait for me), although not necessary (unless you're going on a weekend). My pedicures last for a long time (easily a month) and $30 is all it costs for a pedicure (including tip). They take cards, but don't they like adding tips to the cards, so I would recommend paying in cash. I'm not the type of person who enjoys talking to my aesthetician, so the tech's silent 'tude doesn't bother me at all. Bring a magazine and enjoy the clean, comfortable atmosphere.
