First off, I have to say Julie D is absolutely incredible at what she does. I originally came in just for a pedicure, after going somewhere else (I'm from Florida and used to builder gel nails, so I've struggled to find the right fit here in Minnesota). After my pedicure, I let her fix my nails and WOW. A lot of people don't truly understand builder gel and still rely on powder, but she completely nailed it (no pun intended). Her work is by far the best I've found here. I had someone in Florida I loved, and I've searched all over Minnesota trying to find someone who can actually do builder gel properly and she exceeded my expectations. Builder gel has been my go-to for over a decade. It lasts, doesn't chip, and gives a natural look (or you can add color), which is perfect for my lifestyle and line of work. She delivers true quality, and her work lasts. And her pedicures? Absolutely amazing. I'm the type of person who wants my feet to feel like they just went through a full-on car wash and she does exactly that. Clean, detailed, and so relaxing. If you're looking for quality, longevity, and someone who actually knows what they're doing with builder gel she's it. Paige S, Woodbury read more

I had my first visit to all about nails for a pedicure today. Everything went well until I was set under the fan for my nails to dry. The cashier came to me to have me pay which I did with a credit card. When she came to me to have me sign the receipt she had added a $10 tip onto the credit card. Without my permission. I had her remove the tip. Then I was told I could leave. The big toe had excess polish in the crease between the nail and the skin, and it was not dry. During the pedicure, she had remarked that the polish was thick. I used to do nails and we always put a drop or two of thinner in the polish when it became thickened. I mentioned that to her and she asked me if I wanted to have her put dinner in it now.... I said no I will take the polish with me and use it at home to fix this nail. I ended up giving a $15 tip before I knew that my nail was wet at that point. I was so annoyed that I left without correcting the tip amount. All in all I had a very very negative experience. I will not be giving them a second chance. read more

Everyone at All About Nails is always so friendly! I visit every couple weeks for a gel pedicure or manicure or nails. I love that I can go in with any type of idea or vision and the ladies love to play around with nail art and try new things. I was getting dip but switched to acrylic to be able to get my nails filled and not have to redo the entire thing each time. Would recommend for nails and pedicure. read more

Very pleased.... Walked in and got seated right away for a pedicure...Got a young Lady named Kelly. By the time she finished I asked to get my nails done tool,,, She was FABULOUS!!! I told her she is now my favorite...I wrote her name in my phone to remember (over 60 yrs old),,,Best leg massage ever and the massage chairs are better then other Salon I used...The women that did my nail was wonderful too ...wish I could remember her name...but they do have names posted on all the stations so I'll look for her on next visit :) Give it a try read more

Great Service & plenty of staff that are quality technicians. I will be back again next time

The shaping was horrible. It is lopsided and crooked. The workers were rude and didn't even know what they were doing. They messed up my design. I also had to pay $75 for nails that don't look good. I will never go back due to the poor service and quality. read more

Excellent and helpful people, always friendly! Great recommendation! I like so many of the technicians!

Very disappointed in my service today. I had to get my fingernails and toes nails taken off. My toes are all cut up and done wrong. Some technicians need to go back to school or if nails aren't meant for you just Dont do them as a profession. I'm in so much pain from my service I have been crying for the last 2 hours. read more

Friendly ladies as always- 2 stars for that- but I'm concerned about the sanitation of the place. They are busy- super busy. We made an appt. Got there with all the pedi stations full and nail stations half full. Waited for about 20 min til some stations open up. Other patrons kept coming into the salon also saying they had appts in which they also had a wait. What's the point of making an appt then? The lady who did my nails worked so fast and as I looked at her instruments that she was using on me - left over skin on her cuticle clipper that she quickly wiped off and then proceeded to use on me. Same with the lady who did my nails. Just not comfortable with how busy they are and the process of sanitation. I'd hate to get an infection or worse, have them use an instrument on me that had clipped a hang nail that bled and then was used on me. Won't be returning. read more

I wanted to do something special for my mom and get a pedicure for us, which ended up looking like 6 year old children painted our toenails. The nail polish was so old we had to take it off when we got home. read more

I've never been treated so rudely in my life, by someone providing a service. Linda was mean, condescending, and has no business serving customers. Beside the fact that she was a downright nasty person, she didn't even do that good of a job. I can't believe I allowed her to treat me as she did. I will never go to All About Nails again. read more

First time customers trying All about Nails. Mother's Day gift for mom and well worth it! Great service... Cece And Kelly were awesome! Priced right, nice atmosphere! We will be back. read more

Pros: took me immediately as a walk-in, lots of color options, clean, affordable. I'm pretty low maintenance, so met my needs as a customer in that it was convenient and affordable. Cons: cut FOUR of my fingers during my manicure (so definitely not a relaxing experience), no attempt at conversation or connection, felt rushed and misguided. Had to go home and promptly bandage my sore fingers so that they hopefully heal quickly. read more

See all

I am so disappointed with this place right now... I have had pedicures here for years and have recommended to friends. I brought my 13 year old daughter in a few weeks ago to get her nails done for a special occasion. She got the dip polish and the person that did her nails was amazing! She said if she wanted to get them taken off in a few weeks to come back and the can Soak them off. So today was the day to take them off. We went in, asked to get them soaked off. The lady that removed them clipped them and POPPED them off. I asked if they should be soaked off and she didn't answer me. My daughter looked sad and wouldn't say anything when I asked if she was ok. When they were off she buffed her damaged nails and that was it.. I paid and we left, my daughter immediately burst into tears. It hurt and her natural nail is destroyed. We went in to get them removed PROPERLY! I went home and google how to remove and you should SOAK them off! Never peel or POP them off. I figured out the person who did this is the OWNER!!! Tina should know better. I am so disappointed and mad that my daughter had to experience this... read more

All About Nails - Terrible dip nail polish removal -ruined nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Cottage Grove, Minnesota

I followed Kelly from Tips and Toes in Woodbury, down to All About Nails. She is my favorite tech in the world. Knows how to deal with my crazy ingrowns, gives a great massage and my feet always come out looking fabulous. She's super friendly. The only con about the salon is the foot baths don't have great water pressure and it can be noisy in there. read more

This is by far the best nail place around. I moved to Hudson and still drive back here to get them done. No matter how busy they are I'll wait to get in. And this isn't a place that has 5 people working. They have minimum 10 and usually more. Their pedicures are at least an hour. A heavenly hour of leg massage. I've found when going to other places when you become a 'regular' you're the first they skimp on to get to those waiting, never this place. Worth every penny and worth the drive. All about nails is all about the guest. Keep up the good work ladies. read more

I should have honestly walked back out the second I walked in, as the space was filthy, the nail polish rack was a mess and most of the polishes looked like they had never been replaced... and were expired. The lady (Queenie I believe her name was) was very rude to me, asked minimal questions, talked on her phone half the time, yelled at me when I did something she didn't want me too (despite not ever giving me much direction), rushed through doing my nails, rolled her eyes when I asked her to do a 3rd coat of polish because they were still blochy and uneven... she made me pay before she even painted my nails (which would have been fine, but after she made me pay then I asked if I could have her do a matte top coat and she said NO because it's a $5 up-charge and I had already paid...) I could go on and on, but I would not recommend going to this place. I am new to the area and thought I would give it a shot, but this was ridiculous and my nails still don't look great. read more

It's older and not updated, but better than Woodbury's prices! Still clean with products!

Very clean and very spacious! Would be perfect to go with large groups to get pedicures, they have about 8 or do chairs and even a couple for little kids(ones designed like a mouse or rabbit ect) The staff are very friendly and have many people working so there was no wait time at all. Over a hundred colors one can choose from too! The prices are very reasonable as well! It was $35 for a mani pedi. $5 up charge for a French and a $5 up charge for a design. There are a couple televisions also to keep yourself entertained if you go alone! The staff also is very friendly and engages with clients! They also do other service such as eyebrows! I would highly recommend this salon, very professional. It is located right by a carbons and subway as well! read more

Having just moved to Cottage Grove I was trying to find a place to get a mani/pedi and this is the place! Friendly manicurists and affordable. Definitely the place to go if you don't want to drive around looking and experiencing other places. read more

During my visit my sister and I went to All About Nails. I was there a few years ago. It was very disappointing. We both got the deluxe pedi which includes the hot stones. The stones weren't even warm. They also cut the back of my heel. This place has really gone down hill and is filthy! The tile flooring needs to be scrubbed and the rug up by the nail polish wall needs to be replaced. I am a little worried as to how clean the rest of the place is. I would almost suggest the inspector stop and make a visit! read more

I've been going there for years! Love it! Employees are friendly & helpful! Nails always look great!
