Since moving to Minnetonka last year, Hemera Nails has been my "go to" nail salon whenever I need a stylish mani/pedi for special occasions or to help make myself extra neat & pretty prior to a vacation getaway!My overall satisfaction can be hit-or-miss, depending on the technician, and Today was one of those days.Originally, I came in for a gel manicure and basic pedicure. I relayed that desire to Tra, who ended up not being my technician for this visit. Instead, I began my pedicure with Nhan, and that's where things went a bit awry. I must admit, Nhan did a BEAUTIFUL job on my pedicure, however, I was given a gel polish pedicure instead of just a basic scrub/polish. Since I liked the color I had chosen, and she was already 1/2 way done with my first foot when I realized there was a curing lamp beside her, I didn't complain.Next came my manicure, which again was done BEAUTIFULLY, and Nhan worked really hard to imitate the style of a french manicure photo I had brought in as an example of what I wanted. Ultimately, I was satisfied, although a tad sticker shocked; since my usual gel manicure & basic pedicure typically doesn't exceed $45. Today's total (for gel manicure + french tips and gel polish pedicure) came out to $75! I felt bad, because their new (?) credit card system doesn't allow for adding tips, those must be paid in cash or personal check, which I never carry on me. However, at $30 more than I'm used to paying for my visits, I wasn't really prepared to go any further over my budget anyhow! Bottom line, this is a GREAT business operated by WONDERFUL people! I will keep coming back and always refer my friends/co-workers here when they compliment/ask about where I get my nails done. Read Less
