Beauty Elite Salon & Spa by Ely Ortiz – A Family-Friendly Pampering Haven
I recently took my family to Beauty Elite Salon & Spa by Ely Ortiz for a little self-care day, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience for all of us. Located in a convenient spot, this salon and spa delivered a mix of skillful services and a welcoming vibe that made it enjoyable for me, my teenage daughter, and my son. Here’s how it went for each of us.
Curtain Bangs for My Daughter: A Trendy TriumphMy daughter had been begging for curtain bangs after seeing them all over social media, and the stylists at Beauty Elite absolutely nailed it.

The attention to detail and the stylist’s patience with a picky teen earned major points from both of us. The bangs have held their shape beautifully since, and she’s already talking about her next visit.

He described the pressure as just right, and the 45 minutes flew by in what he called “the most relaxed he’s felt in ages.” The spa area itself was clean and calming, with soft lighting and a soothing vibe that put him at ease from the start. For a teenage boy to admit he loved a massage, that’s saying something!
Pedicure for Me: A Treat for Tired FeetAs for me, I treated myself to a pedicure, and it was a delightful escape. The technician was thorough, starting with a warm soak that melted away the day’s stress. My nails were shaped perfectly, cuticles tidied up, and the foot massage that followed was pure bliss—firm enough to work out the kinks but gentle where it needed to be. I picked a bright polish that’s still chip-free days later, and my feet feel soft and refreshed. The pedicure chairs were comfy, and the...

The entire staff was attentive, professional, and clearly skilled at what they do. I felt well taken care of from start to finish. It was also a huge plus that someone on site spoke English, which made communicating preferences and asking questions super easy.
