This is my go-to nail salon and they always do great! I get dip and it normally lasts a while.

Gel mani with basic pedi in background.
Emily O.

Honestly very impressed by the mani-pedi I got at Always Nails! I haven't been to this spot in ages but needed some zjhoojing for my brother's upcoming wedding and since I was in Uptown, I hit them up. Got the basic pedi and it turned out very neat and my heels are now smooth. The gel mani was very thin (just like I like it!) and the tech took time making sure I wasn't at risk for pesky hang nails. The staff was very sweet and genuinely kind. I recommend!

Although Kim was nice, my experience here was not the best with her, I have to be honest!!! First, I arrived and was told that there is a 30 min wait, but I actually waited an hour!!! The only reason I waited so long was because, I had to kill time before meeting up with my best friend. I won't dock the nail shop for this but, warning....if you go, plan accordingly as she, would Answer the phone and set appointments around the same time for everyone who called having limited staff working. Other ladies showed up but ended up leaving. They also had a customer take off with her friends after having her nails half done, with her pals screaming that, they were taking to long. I'm not sure if she paid but, not my business as I watch them run to their vehicle and take off Secondly, Kim stopped working on me to go work with a different customer in which, they ended up having a dispute over work completed and the cost. This is why " by law" businesses are required to have a price list hanging on the wall. Thus would've clarify as well as to avoid price confusion. Kim clearly became frustrated with that customer and ultimately ended up gaving her a $5 discount. (Instant Karma for leaving me hanging.. lol) jk Thirdly, Kim was all over the place, stopping, going, and answering phones while working on my nails but, at least I was happy to see that she would spray down the chair after a customer, and she did wash her hands before seating me. My BIGGEST CONCERN AND COMPLAINT IS... she stabbed me with a nail tool under my nail which punctured my skin causing it to bleed by not being careful and rushing, and she kept pushing my skin back with her bare nails which hurt like hell! I asked her to use a nail thimble in which, she responded "sometimes" but never stopped to use one. I sat there like a newborn as I hate complaining at establishments but love giving reviews after on yelp. After the stab, she did, however, use alchohol to spray it after I screamed"Ouch" however, needles to say. I hardly slept last night, as the pain is almost like a paper cut under your nail into the depth of my skin and caused pulsation and discomfort. I literally have to go and buy alcohol today and soak it, as I'm afraid I might get infected or something. They do take your temperature when you are seated, however, not sure that they actually looked at it after hearing the beep sound, sooooo go in, even if you have a headache, they honestly wouldn't even notice(sarcasm). Overall, I'm sorry but, if I do return here, I will get someone whoes patient, works on one customer at a time and not someone who appeared to be the boss, only because the overall professionalism was not there! I still tipped her very well, because businesses are struggling to stay afloat and I would rather tip bad service but still come here to Yelp about it like a chihuahua My take away tip to Kim would be to take your time, one customer at a time, be patient and professional. Don't overbook clients and most of all, make everyone feel welcomed because you never know whoes sitting in your chair.

The service here was great! Very friendly staff: but just one thing. Make sure you are looking at the prices and what you are being charged for (ex: I got charged for using 5 colors and using almond shape) the vibes are very cozy in there!

Top: What I asked for, Bottom: What I got

Bad + Bad = Go to another nail shop Yesterday, I came in for a full set and gel polish. I called the day before to schedule an appointment and showed up on time. Kim, the owner, rolled her eyes because she realized I had on acrylic nails that needed to be removed. She rushed through the removal with her drill turned up on high, damaging my natural nails and made me bleed. When I called her attention to the blood, she asked who did my nails previously, hinting that the reason I'm bleeding was because of that person. Ummm no. My nail is bleeding because you are rushing. She was more concerned about going to a Christmas party than taking the time to do my nails properly. I told her I wanted my nails to look good for my birthday. I showed her the design I wanted, but it came out looking nothing like the picture. When I asked her to fix it, she got a nasty attitude, pushing my hand away, and rolling her eyes. I asked for a manicure. She skipped it. I asked for clear acrylic. She gave me colored acrylic. I asked for a specific nail design. She made up her own. $50 for nails that look nothing like what I asked for. I won't be coming here again.

BEST PLACE IN TOWN! I normally don't write reviews. I've been coming here for years. Kim is the sweetest, most professional nail tech and I genuinely appreciate the staffs kindness every time I stop by even without an appointment. I recommend Ly or Kim for the best mani pedis they pay attention to every detail. Thank you so much Always Nails for ALWAYS making me happy with my experience. Ps: I highly recommend bringing a pair of AirPods or headphones during busy days if you're one of those impatient types.

Beautiful nails to match my engagement ring.
Angelina C.

I have been coming here for years and always have the best service Quyen and Kim are amazing with their skills. I work in customer service and get plenty of compliments on my nails I recommend this place for anyone looking for pretty nails with the warmer weather!

I needed a quick place to get my nails done for a job interview, so I went to Always. It was starting to get busy(on a Saturday, that sounds pretty normal) , but they got me in pretty quick. I wish I caught her name, but the woman who did my nails was awesome. Wasn't rough with my hands like other places had been before,. And I did get a slight nick on my finger while the edges were getting cleaned up, but it wasn't a hassle to me, as accidents happen. She apologized for it, which I was grateful for cause some people let that go over their heads. But over all, I'm satisfied with my experience there, and I got to leave with a beautiful set of ombré blue/white nails. I will definitely be back! Update* a while back, I went to get a fill done, and I asked how long it would be. 10-15 minutes, okay, no big deal. I let them know I was going to run to the caribou coffee right by there and be right back. Again, no big deal. Eventually ended up waiting about 30 minutes, only to have a group of 3 come in after I got there, and sat down before myself. And before anyone gets upset, I can understand if they had an appointment set up. But I was never informed, just had 3 people get seated for pedicures. When I asked how long it would be, they sat me down at a station and told me they'd help me when they'd get spare time. Okay, um. So basically going back and forth between me and the other clients? I'd honestly would've rather been told they were sorry but they couldn't get me in and I'd have tried another day. I was pretty upset so I just walked out. Haven't been back since.

Final product! Coffin shape with  #13 acrylic powder! Very happy!

Travelled to Minneapolis for work, and needed a mani and pedi badly! Found this place! Kim did an amazing job on my manicure and I could not be happier with my nails! Highly recommended!

Salon space.

Both my manicure quality and the service I received were lacking. I came at 2:30 on a weekday and the salon was pretty empty - I had no trouble being seen right away. They have ~8 manicure stations and ~6 pedicure chairs. I got a dip manicure which was $45. The process seemed pretty standard for a dip: buffing with the machine, filing and shaping, and nail prepping. My cuticles didn't get much attention and look the same as they did when I went in. She didn't trim them at all, she just used the buffer machine to clear them from my nail. The technician was fairly rough with my hands and kept twisting my thumb to the point that it hurt. The dip itself was fine; my bad experience came in towards the end. My nail technician got a personal phone call and started rushing my nails to the point that she dripped polish all over my fingers. She got up to leave and had her colleague (who was already working on another client's nails) step in. He put lotion on my hands for my "massage" that lasted 6 seconds per hand then checked me out to pay. I felt it was very unprofessional to take a personal call during the middle of an appointment. I left with my nails looking pretty bad (see pictures). I have clear coat all over my fingers, bits of color all over my fingers, my cuticles look awful, and the topcoat isn't smooth and even. I live really close to here and may give them one more chance mostly because I can walk here but overall, wasn't impressed.

I went here on a whim for the first time early in the summer, and I will never go anywhere else. They are great with honoring appointments, have a professional and friendly staff and have A TON of trendy colors. The owner, Kim, is amazing. She has the newest most innovative supplies and colors. I would highly recommend.

My friend asked for the nails on the bottom but got the top ones instead. Almost nothing like what she asked for
Marissa P.

The place was clean and the staff were friendly. However the woman who did my pedicure was rather rough with my toes, even knicked me pretty good. When I said ouch she just looked at me and moved on to the next toe. She didn't apologize until I started bleeding. My friend asked for a sparkler ombre and used my nails as an example. But the woman who took care of her was distracted and doing a million jobs at once. Because she couldn't get off the phone she also knicked her pretty bad and made no apology. And then her nails turned out nothing like she asked.

I've been going to Always Nails on and off for many years, and after trying almost every neighboring nail shop--I always come back here. Just got done with my appointment today (gel manicure, pictured) and they did a great job once again! I love that they get as close to the cuticle as possible without touching it because my nails last SO much longer. Other places usually overlap and then the gel peels up after a couple days. Not the case with Always. They did start up charging for different shapes ($5 for oval, stiletto and coffin) which is a bummer. Regardless, I'm a loyal customer to them!

Horrible results, not even what I came in for!

10/23/22: Overall 3.5 stars. Located at Greenway Lakes Common Center. Love that there's The Joint…read moreChiropractic & Punch Pizza there. I like having a membership that I can go to any location. I was on vacation in MN, so did a walk in. Service was quick & friendly. I had a $10 coupon expiring that day and repeatedly told the front desk worker to use that, NOT my rewards points...get a follow up email...what did they do? You guessed it. They used my points. Good lord. I have the manager call me back. She did it wrong. I call back the next day. At this point I'm a bit perturbed. This isn't rocket science. After much back & forth, they finally fix it. Had the screwup not occurred, this would've been a 5 star review. Had it been fixed the first time, it would've been a 4 star review. I'm being generous saying it's 3.5 stars, and even more generous by clicking the 4 star button. I'm only doing that because I was able to get in same day with no wait. Pro tip: always check your points & passes. EWC is notorious for screwing up your points, and passes. Another location "lost" my pass and won't do anything about it. I most likely won't be renewing my membership.

Waxing anything is daunting and exposure to a stranger, well adds to the concern…read more Went in for a full bikini wax and upon check in i was greeted with a smiling face and a super clean lobby. Once checked in, there were magazines to read or product to browse. However, my technician was right on time with no delay. What I appreciate most was the frosted glass door to the private rooms. Once your esthetician brings you back through them, your brought to a private room that again is organized, clean and labeled. I had my wax with Kristina B. And she was amazing! Casual conversation the whole time and such professionalism. She was honest about what to expect and taught me breathing techniques, which made the experience less uncomfortable. Highly recommend this facility and Kristina B. For your next wax.

Conversation was zero. I got ready for the sugaring, she got started, and about halfway through I mentioned how this was the most painful sugaring experience I've ever had. It was painful because Jenn was using wax. She didn't bother to check on her appointments or confirm with me what I wanted. Maybe if she had put her phone down before we got started, I wouldn't have had such a horrendous experience. We finished out the waxing and just a few days later, I had hair because it all was broken off. I've never had my lashes tinted or lifted before this, but they are basically crimped upward, not curled. I have nothing to compare to, but I'm guessing she just did a poor job. She also remarked how "coarse" my lashes were, which was insulting. All around bad experience. I would not recommend her nor will I ever go back.
