I have tried numerous other nail salons in the Minnetonka area.  Lakeside Nails and Spa is superior in all aspects.  Jenny, by far, has provided the best service that I've ever experienced.  The nail product (powder dip) remained on for 4 weeks!  Never has this been my experience any place else.  The other places I have gone resulted in the gel and/or powder dip  coming off within one week of the applied product.  Kudos to Jenny for providing a great service.  In addition, the staff is friendly, kind, and is genuinely sincere and makes you feel like a valued customer.  I am so happy that I have found such a great experience.  I highly recommend this salon!!!!JG Read Less

Made an appt here because of the great reviews. I have to say this is not only the most clean nail salon that I have seen in awhile but the most organized. Everyone signs in and you are offered a bottle of water. They make you feel so welcome. I tried the powder dipped French ombré after having years of liquid gel and it looks amazing. Did I mention you get a shoulder massage after your manicure? Incredible and Tanh (sorry about the spelling) was so gentle. Finally a salon that knows you by name and one where you don't walk out with your cuticles hurting. Highly recommend this place! Read Less

A bit delayed on this review... I was there for my second time with Tahn (spelling?). Best nail experience ever yet AGAIN! They look incredible! Here is the scoop. I've been doing my own nails for years. I started on CND Shellac years ago. I've been SNS dipping for a few years. I'm pretty darn good at both--less so on dipping because I don't have a decent drill. I now drive 45 minutes and pay for Tahn to do my nails. Her lines are perfect, surface smooth and I've never had someone so gentle. Highly recommend! Read Less

Let me start by saying the facility is extremely nice. I loved the cleanliness, tranquility, and feel it had to offer. Some nail salons are cluttered and disorganized, but there was nothing in the salon that was out of place. However, there was a miscommunication about what services I wanted done. When I informed Jenny that I in fact did want a manicure, as well as, a polish change she seemed annoyed as she had already put the base coat on one hand before I realized she hadn’t done the manicure portion. I apologized profusely for the miscommunication, but her annoyance was still apparent. She grabbed her tools and went to work right away. She didn’t file the sides of my nails down which I thought was odd, but at this point I already felt like I had been put in the position of a difficult customer. Then as she put the polish on a few bubbles appeared because she was applying the layers too thick. I asked her to please fix them as I knew I’d destroy my nails the second I got out of the salon picking at them. Again, the utmost annoyance. She was having a hard time concealing it on her face at this point. I let her finish, the whole time apologizing for being difficult. As she finished up i was inspecting my nails. She says to me, “what’s wrong just tell me.” At that point I felt pretty embarrassed, and was not about to make her redo them all again. As soon as I got to my car I noticed another bubble on the same nail she had to redo, and visible brush strokes on about half the nails. As soon as I got home it had already started chipping off the tip on one of my thumbs and middle fingers. She didn’t properly seal the ends. I still gave her a generous tip (almost 30%) because she has to make a living, although I’m extremely displeased with my nails, and her attitude at the time. Maybe it wasn’t a good day for her. I also am pregnant so I know some days are hard to deal with people. But honey, you’re providing a service, and you have to fake it til you make it regardless. I was hoping to have found my new nail salon, but I won’t be back. On a side note, I also noticed they don’t use disposable liners on their pedicure tubs. 😕 eek! Read Less

This place is great, I am so picky with my salons. I need a place that is clean and where the technicians know exactly what they're doing; this place checks every box. Phong (the owner) is responsive, knowledgeable and a complete sweetheart. I had my whole bridal party go there for their nails and everyone was very happy with the price and service. They even have DIP! I won't go anywhere else now! Read Less

If you have any question about checking out this nail salon, look no further and run to it! Hands down the sweetest and most informed staff, cleanest environment and you'll receive your best mani or pedi at a reasonable price. Three of us went together and they got us all in at the same time no problem. They offered a variety of options for our nails with different types of gel without any awkward pressure. I already scheduled my next pedicure...and have no problem driving 20 miles from my house to go back! Friendliest people who will make your day! Read Less

This place is very comfortable and welcoming and lovely. The staff is wonderful and genuinely friendly; the owner (Phong, I believe?) is a sweetheart. They did a wonderful job on my pedicure and made sure I was comfortable and happy the whole way. They seem to use organic/quality stuff, and I think they have Young Living oils for sale as well if you're into that. My mum recommended I try Lakeside because she was similarly impressed, and I'm glad I did-- I think I found my new nail place! :) Read Less

This is the BEST manicure I've gotten in years. The staff at Lakeside is so welcoming, so knowledgeable, and so kind. The spa is spotless and the service is legitimately perfect. It's the only place I'll go - and I'm picky! Read Less

Went with 6 girls for mani and pedis for my 30th birthday and it was THE BEST experience for all of us. Not only were they patient with each of us but also they were sincere with conversation! They did a beautiful job on our nails. Read Less

Really glad I found this gem.  Beautiful inside and doesn't smell like a nail salon.  I appreciate that I can understand the employees and they can understand me.  Very polite and they do a great job as well.  This will be my new go-to nail salon in Minnetonka.  I wish that had vinyl-lux polish, but I just bring my own.   They carry OPI and Zoya.  Prices are reasonable for the area as well. Read Less

Tried the new dipped powder nails. Undecided if it's worth the money. Definitely looks like I've got something on top of my nails where gel polish looks natural. I would like more of a manicure with this new process, especially if I'm paying  $45 (before tip). I went home and cleaned up my cuticles a little more which is disappointing given what I paid.  The shoulder massage was nice, would've liked hand massage too. Read Less

The salon is beautiful with great music. It is "Hospital Operating Room" spotlessly clean. The people are lovely, and my most importantly my nails are perfect. I highly recommend Lakeside nails and will definitely be returning. Read Less

This is the best nail experience I've had in 10 years! I'd been traveling to St. Paul from Minnetonka to get my nails done for 3 yrs. Loved the quality job I recieved there, but not the commute. Plus, no one seemed to know how to properly apply dipping powder nails besides my gal over there!Thankfully, someone suggested on my neighborhood chat board to try Lake Side Nails and Spa. I have never seen so much care put into a manicure, plus the preparation, several coats during and after made sure this will stay with me for 3 weeks. On top of it all, Mai, my technician, gave me a shoulder massage and even sent a thank you note same day. Whaaat??The 5 star ratings consistently for this salon are no joke.Shhhhhh...let's keep it to the neighborhood... Read Less

My nails rock because of Thanh and the rest of the crew. The service is friendly and they genuinely care about what they do. Going to get my mani pedi there is now an integral part of my life because they feel like family. I drive 30 mins to get there and I don't regret it. The salon is clean and well stocked. They just do anything and everything that has to do w nails. Make your Instagram or Pinterest dreams a reality! I highly recommend the herbal spa pedicure! It is the most relaxing experience ever.

I needed spots for four to get pedicures and manicures at the same time. The management was very accommodating and nice. The staff were professional and thorough. We were all pleased with our results. The new facility is comfortable and clean. The prices were very reasonable. We are planning on returning in the future. Read Less

The salon is adorable and the staff is great! Location was very easy to find and plenty of parking. They had a large selection of SNS dip nails which was what I was searching for. I highly recommend, I had Mai and she did a fantastic job. Read Less

I love this new nail salon!!!  The service is great - the people are so sweet.  Much better vibe than the nail place across from Lakewinds.  They treated me and my daughter with so much care.  And they do an incredible job.   The leg massage with lavender oil was incredible.  So relaxing.  And our nails never looked better!   This is our place now.   I highly recommend. Read Less

What a wonderful experience.  Relaxing,  comfortable and treated very well.  My nails look and feel terrific! Nothing better than treating yourself during the cold winter months!Thank you,  Lakeside Nails and Spa. Telling everyone I know! Read Less

My mom, sister, & I went for a mani/pedi day on my sister's birthday and had a wonderful time. This salon is immaculately clean, modern, beautitful and inviting. The pedi chairs are brand new massage chairs that I could have happily spent the whole day in. I had the classic manicure & pedicure and was really impressed with the results. The staff were all wonderful and skilled with both massage and nail care. We had wonderful time and left relaxed, with beautiful fingers & toes.As others have mentioned, between the Opi & Zoya color options, the selection is fantastic.I will definitely return here for nail services, even though I don't live in that immediate area. I imagine this would be a great place for wedding or prom parties as well.Thanks for a great girls day out! Read Less

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this nail salon. I came here for the first time on a snowy and cold January day. The salon was very bright and warm. I got a gel manicure and pedicure. Annie was my nail technician. She is extremely friendly and detail-oriented. The staff were amazing and welcoming. The salon is very clean and chic. I will definitely go back here for my next manicure/pedicure. Read Less

Takeaway - hurry in here by 1.10.17 to try their services at 30% off. Cordial staff, clean facility, large selection of Zora and OPI colors, relaxing spa-style music and comfy massage pedi chairs.Since they were running the discount I tried their Pedi-in-a-box and SNS Dip Nail services. Pedicure was everything the description stated and I had a choice of about 8-10 scents to choose from. My feet feel smooth, the leg massage was effective and the color is even and rich. I also tried SNS powder dipped nails for the first time as an alternative to a gel polish. Takes a bit more time with all the steps but I appreciate that they don't cut the cuticles and doesn't require a UV light to cure. I'll see how long it lasts.I probably get my nails done 3-4 times a year and will follow other reviews to see how they do. My only recommendation is to provide more of a receiving area that includes someplace to hang bulky winter coats or sit while staff set up their station for new guests that might have to wait a few minutes. Compared to the two other nail salons I've tried (in 18 months mind you) located at the 101/Mtka Blvd intersection, I prefer this one. Nice to see a new business open in Deephaven. Read Less

This place is amazing! They have a very relaxing ambiance. I got my nails done here while home on Winter break. The technicians were super nice and attentive. They have a large color selection. They even do organic pedicures! I'd definitely come back again next time I'm in town. Read Less
