I went to get my nails fixed cause they messed up before. So I thought ok ill give them a chance to fix the mistake they made and it was the worst decision I made. My nails are lumpy, thick in some spots, nails are not even close to being the same shape and the man doing my nails seemed rushed and unconcerned with giving me half way decent nails!!! If I could give negative stars I would, DO NOT GO THERE!! Read Less

Normally this is my fix it spot, but today some lady I've never seen does my nails and she was bad. I say in the parking lot trying to file my nails to have them all look the same... can't bring myself back in because then I'm in my way to jail.... I will find another spot to get my nails done!!!!

My normal nail salon was closed since it is Sunday and I thought this nail salon might replace it. And that did not happen...The man that I had did not do all of the expected steps that you would think should happen before putting on the acrylics, for example he did not clip my cuticles or soak my hands/ I did not have to wash them. He seemed Very rushed and the worst part was he did not get the shape or the length correct. I asked for ballerina or coffin (keep in mind I showed him a picture then kept it on the table so he could reference back to it then said, in a rude way “I got it”) anyway, I received kind of like a square bubble... they were very rounded and fat but with a square top.Then for length, my thumb nails were obviously different from each other and my pointer finger was also a good amount off. The paint job was also very rough, the paint did not go to the edge of a few nails. Overall I am very very disappointed. I guess that’s what you get for trying new nail salons... although the interior was very nice. It had a good vibe and everyone seemed relaxed. Luckily I was able to go home and fix some of the mistakes but it is definitely not what I wanted or expected. But If you are looking for a good nail salon I suggest “Lena nails” on Robert street!

I have been to many nail salons across the country as I travel quite a bit for work. I currently reside in TN and thought they had the worst manicure salons ... I was wrong. Disappointed for a great Minneapolis neighborhood. The pedicure ladies were GREAT!! So hate that it's only 2 stars. But the gel manicure ... the guy rushed to the point where the nails weren't drying fully between polishes and he left with little air pockets. Then 2 days in they chipped on multiple fingers. I get my nails done religiously every 3 weeks due to growing out however I tore all of the gel off tonight out of frustration due to chipping and it's been less than a week. Not impressed at all and sad $40 or whatever it was on just my nails to not last even a week when I didn't like them to begin with. Read Less

They butchered my eyebrows!!!!! I ended up with big bubbles underneath my eye brows from the wax being extremely hot. One brow was crooked and thicker than the other. Overall I hated my experience here and will never go back!! SPREAD the word this place is terrible!! Read Less

I had the dip powder nails done as well as a deluxe pedicure. The entire experience was wonderful and my nails look perfect. I highly recommend the dip. Ask for details as I don't rememeber all of the benefits but I will never do gel again. Read Less

Oh, where to begin.. close to my work office, so I tried it. Michelle did a great job with a mood polish, lasted 3 weeks. went back, she was on vacation, got Helen for a Chrome.  I was there for 1 hour and 45 minutes as she did them over and over to get them right. Didn't have the right tools, using an old  USED eye shadow applicator for the Chrome powder. Sat right next to cash register with Jimmy right behind my shoulder staring at his cell phone, we were so close we were touching. Every-time someone walked in Helen stopped working on me to talk to the new customer, when she was working on me, she talked non-stopo in her languae to other employees in the shop looking all around to be sure everything was under control; sadly, not paying attention to me. Customer lined up side by side, factory style, hot and humid in there, they had the door open with people smoking right outside the door. Counter top was filthy, other peoples nail shavings, spilled polish, thick coat of nail dust from other people. Gross!! the place was half empty, but 3 of us lined up shoulder to shoulder. The most un-relaxing, stressful, 'cant wait to get out of here' nail experience in the 25 yrs of getting my nails done.  Helen began arguing with Victor over what I assume was the unsuccessful chrome she was trying to do for me. The base coat was not compatible with the chrome powder and it wouldn't stick. They should know what works with what, right?  No sample nails to see the end result, told me to go on Google to see what it would look like. When I suggested the problem was the base coat, Victor chimed in 'we know what we doing'.  Alrighty then. But, Victor, you really don't, because I had to come back for another attempt by Victor who did the same thing as Helen, another hour and 45 minutes, looked worse than the first time with Helen.  I had a wedding the next day, hid my hands for the pictures, girls at work laughed and told me to write this. And I PAID for this. They offered me a FREE mood polish change and I went back the next week to get my money's worth. Helen did a mood polish - half way through she passed me on to someone else with no explanation. I sat at the same dirty table with cash register by my left ear, watching Jimmy stare mindlessly at  his phone and listening to them all argue in a language I don't understand. So NOT a spa experience. And, clean the place up why don't you?  Never Again. Read Less

I hate giving bad reviews but...I got the worst manicure here and they sliced me with a nail file.  Now I get this happens on occasion but the woman next to me also got cut when they were doing her acrylics.  My nails look like I may have just done them myself. I also had to make a point to say hi and or she would have just kept talking to the guy next to her in Korean. I had a good pedicure here once but after this experience and watching other clientele, I would not recommend this place.Does Anyone know a good places for nails in Minneapolis??? Read Less

Kathy was awesome! So nice and friendly. I love that they use disposable liners in their foot spas and they never reuse anything porous (and even have a sign posted about it to draw attention to the fact. My $28 pedicure included a soft drink (or water) and a great leg and foot massage with hot stones and hot towel. No hard upselling at all.  Definately the best pedi for the money I have had in the area in years. Kathy said the weekenda are super busy (with the reasonable prices I'm not shocked) so she recommended coming in during the week. They have a punch card too - 4th visit you get a free design or french polish or the 5th visit you get $3 off. Read Less

I've been meaning to write a review for ages and this is based off of my experience last year.My pedi was turning out to be spectacular until a man, who appeared to be a boss or supervisor, shamed my technician in her native tongue for a good ten minutes. He did not appear interested in my comfort and I cringed while watching the scene unfold. What would have been a great pedi became awkward and stressful as he hovered and sputtered and commanded her to repaint a single toenail 3 times. Apparently her skills were not deemed to be up to snuff and he took over, appointed her to a new client, and continued with my mani. Honestly my toes looked great and some minor perceived error would have been vastly preferred over 10+ minutes of a lurking manager.The mani was sloppily painted after short cutting hand and cuticle care. I'm a nurse and I work hard with my hands; a little pampering would have been appreciated esp since I was on vacation and looking to enjoy my friend's birthday celebration. Truthfully this was the last professional manicure I've had after deciding I'm pretty damn good at doing manis myself and I'm certainly much better than Lena's. Besides it's not worth the money or stress or shoddy aseptic technique (otherwise known as not aseptic)...Save yourself the faux relaxation and hard earned money and go elsewhere. Or just stay in, draw a bubble bath, pop a bottle of champagne, and attempt to paint left handed. Hell, attempt to paint with the brush between your teeth! Guaranteed it will be a far superior experience and manicure than what you'll find at Lena's. Read Less

Linas nails is absolutely fabulous. The inside is beautiful. Shiny new. They were very friendly on the phone. And my nail tech halena was so nice and friendly. She was very interested in my comfort and help make things better. The massage was wonderful and lasted a long time. Hot stones and hot towels too.I also enjoyed a Diet Coke well my nails were being done. Absolutely clean quiet and friendly. I am a registered nurse so I notice aseptic technique and then he passed with flying colors. Read Less

I was visiting from out of town and had an overall negative experience at Lena Nails. In general, the technician was inattentive and distracted.  I got the same service as my friend and was done significantly sooner, so it felt like I was just being rushed through as opposed to pampered.  My other friend's technician had to redo her toe at least twice and we had to witness what appeared to be the owner or manager shaming her in their native tongue.  Not very cool.

I'm visiting from Atlanta. I called before I came and it's been 30 minutes , I was told to sit down and a lady who walked in ten minutes after me was serviced. Not even finger wrapping to get the old nails off. I'm taking pictures of how empty it is. It seems that they put estimates on racial bias on great paying customers, funny because I tip very well and the only reason I'm putting up with this crap is because I visited 3 other nail salons who don't have the SNS nail system I use. I asked them twice about removing the nails while I'm waiting in order not to waste time. Time is money. Well they just ate their tip and I'm going to tell them that. Read Less

Awesome pedicure, amazing foot and leg treatment with a hot stone massage. Very pleasantly surprised while visiting Minneapolis. Will definitely want to add this to my must do list next time I'm in town, great nail salon. I have never been offered a cold water at any pedicure previously and they offered one as I sat down in the chair. Read Less

I get pink and white done, and it is hard to find a place that does a good job (I travel for a living).  Lena nails did an excellent job!  My nails look fabulous, and they were wicked quick!  Usually pink and white takes anywhere from an hour to two hours, but mine were done in 45 minutes tops.  I got a pedicure as well, it was relaxing, they used hot stones with the massage.  I will definitely be back next time I am in town and would recommend this place to anyone!

First time here- mani-pedi with a pink and white up top. Trish, who gave me my pedicure, was kind and the hot stones included in a standard pedicure were a nice surprise. Then I went for the mani. First, I was seated shoulder to shoulder with another customer right in front of the door behind the cash register. She had a friend with her, and when I was getting settled I almost rolled over her friend's feet with the wheels on my chair because we were so jammed together in a corner. I quickly joked and started a conversation with both of them to alleviate the tension. Keep in mind there were probably at least 10 work stations with only three customers getting manicures at the time. Then, factory style, I was shifted to the other customers desk when she was done. Much rolling of chairs and bumping into each other for the transition. But here's my biggest problem: there were nail clippings on the desk, and Jimmy did not change out his tools from the last customer. Health code violation? I asked for rounded nails because I work a lot with my hands and I don't like the way corners catch on things. I ended up getting vampire points (see picture). He got a line wrong on one of my nails and corrected it with white nail polish line which I've never seen done before (see picture). The contours on the surface of the nail are very erratic, roller coaster style. Also, employees were constantly squeezing in on my left to reach the cash drawer. It was just awkward and my nails were not as good as most manis I've gotten. Lastly, it's been two weeks and several nails are lifting near the nail bed already. In my experience, pink and whites, if done correctly, don't lift that soon, if ever. Jimmy was anything but charming- brooding, no eye contact and a little rough on the nails would be more like it. But maybe he was just having a bad day. Still searching for my neighborhood nail salon. I probably won't go back here. Read Less

I found this place on Yelp and although it's not in my part of the city, I'll definitely be heading back there for gel manicures and will have to try a pedicure next time (I hear they do a hot stone massage and hot towel as part of it). Friendly place, and the owner, Jimmy, was awesome. Thoughts...- Clean! The tools came out of a sealed kit. Jimmy said he makes sure all of the staff members have at least 10 different sets of tools that are sanitized so they always have a clean set on hand.- Tons of gel colors to choose from: CND, Essie, Gelish, and I think maybe another brand too?- The little soak you put your nails in has some kind of sea salt potion in it that leaves your skin nice and soft. The lotion he used for the quick hand/arm massage also smelled good, sort of vanilla-esque. Way better than that kinda generic sickly-sweet pink lotion other salons use. - Everyone was so nice! I also met his wife, but didn't catch her name. The salon is named after their daughter. :) Read Less
