3rd time back and this is my place for nails. Reminder I just moved to Minnesota. Clean, quiet or fun and I always feel comfortable and relaxed. Going natural this winter so no color so I am an easy client. Gina spends a bit more time on massages since there is no painting ((thank you)) My cuticles are always clean. They take walk ins and it's a hit or miss so I now make appointments. Just sign in at their kiosk. You can use debit card for services but not for tip. So that's either cash or Venmo. They have signage for Venmo payment all nice and neat. I Venmo'd for services and then tip to Gina. Sadly I am bad and don't carry cash. Parking is limited but not a huge deal read more

I consistently love the nail treatment quality at Cosmo Nails. I made sure to post a photo a month after my last appointment so you can see how great my cat's eye manicure still looks! read more

Came in for a regular pedi on a Thursday (no gel) - called ahead to reserve a time slot and only had to wait 10 min in the footbath before they were ready to go. Cosmo has quick, efficient, kind folks. Lots of people chatting, chill vibe. Clean salon with great prices. read more

Cosmo Nails - Finished regular pedi- no gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

When teenagers recommend this place as the best budget nail place in town, I listen. I'm not fancy, and I haven't converted to gel. A good classic mani/pedi at a low price is exactly what I'm looking for! On a weekday morning it was not too busy. It seems like several of the clients were regulars. Everyone was a in a pleasant mood. It's not posh here, but it is quiet and they play classical music. Call ahead, no walk-ins right now. read more

This is my favorite nail salon. They provide great service and prices are affordable. The owner is very nice and willing to squeeze me in for a last minute mani after work or on weekends. The location is convenient and the staff are friendly and kind. read more

Owner Tien and Nail Tech Gina went out of their way to make me feel comfortable allowing me to enjoy my mani-pedi. Upon arrival I spent way too much time choosing the perfect color and still got it wrong! Tien and Nail Tech Lynn(?) looked for and found the perfect color for me. When I nicked & damaged the color on one of my toes Gina never slowed down or frowned, she immediately settled me back in the chair and repaired it .... no muss, no fuss. I suspect Tien sensed my unease so he sat and had a very nice conversation with me totally making me feel at home. Sadly I'm only in the area every couple of months otherwise I'd be one of their many regular clients. The price was more than reasonable, the atmosphere was welcoming, the other patrons seemed to be well at ease with my presence (I'll explain that in a minute), all in all it was an excellent visit to an excellent nail salon!! Now a little back story .... I may look, dress, and act like an ugly old guy 99% of the time but that's not how I feel inside. Inside I'm just your average (if not older) woman trying to enjoy life without bothering others. I love getting pedicures and occasionally have gotten color too, but this time I went all out and got a mani-pedi WITH color on my toes AND my hands!! What a treat!! One of the other treats was having Tien address me with my chosen name of Michelle, however given the way I was dressed I said my boring and ugly guy name may be more appropriate. I'll come back and who knows, maybe next time it'll be as a much more comfortable Michelle. Thanks Cosmo Nails! Thanks Tien Tran! Thanks Gina! read more

Great service. Very very clean. I had a relaxing professional pedicure!!! Family business read more

Cosmo has been my "go to" nail salon since I moved to Minneapolis, nine years ago. You always feel welcome and that your business is appreciated. The technicians always go to great lengths to see that everything feels good and looks nice. And they always do what that can to accommodate your schedule; getting you an appointment last minute if they are able. The new ownership has improved on an already thriving business. Highly recommend. read more

I have been going to cosmo for nails for @ 10 years. new management is terrific. gel manicures LAST. The nail techs are All excellent and perfectionist. Covid protocols observed. Calm, pleasant, efficient. No obnoxious tv or only suggestion would be to focus a little more on massage for Both mani and pedi. read more

Went for an afternoon with my friend. Had a lot of fun and my nails looked great, Will be returning soon.

Cosmo nails is the best nail salon in South Minneapolis! The staff is super friendly, and the quality of the services is always consistent. They have all of the fun colors, the location is clean, and I always end up chatting with other guests while I am there. it's a great neighborhood place! Amy S. read more

I have been to Cosmo Nails numerous times. My nails--manicure and pedicure--always turn out beautifully. I trust their staff and have been pleased. I also like the vibe--the staff laughs and enjoys each other and are always approachable, especially the manager. read more

Unbelievably poor, rude, unkind, and painful service by "Lynn". She didn't have any empathy for my disability. She was really rough and did a really poor job. A complete waste. I left halfway thru, paid, and left, knowing I would never return. She had no interest in doing a good job, or respect for her work or clients and absolutely ignored and wouldn't listen to my requests to take products off my skin (scrub), as I can get a rash. Such a disappointment, and I feel hurt and mistreated by this unkind, crabby person. read more

I took my mom here before her birthday trip to California to treat her to a mani pedi and they told us that we only booked two pedis (when we booked both services) and then said we can only to the pedis. My mom wanted the luxury pedicure to celebrate and they said "no, we don't have time for that only the basic." And rushed through both pedicures in about 20 minutes. Terrible service, warm and crowded space, and no cell service. I would never go back. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place! The staff and owners are kind and always upbeat. The services I have received has always been fantastic. They do such a great job. Give them all your business. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love Cosmo Nails. I've been coming here for several years, and the service and quality has always been excellent. The staff is genuinely friendly and pays attention to detail. I loved the old owner, but the new one is definitely holding his own and maintaining impeccable service. The prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend checking them out of you are looking for a great nail salon! read more

I decided to go here to get dip powder nails. NEVER AGAIN. I feel like if I am going to pay $50 to get my nails done they should actually look nice. That was not the case here. Let me run you through each of my reasons as to why I will never be going back to Cosmo Nails, and why you should never bring your business here. The woman who did my nails cut my cuticles to the point where they were bleeding. I know it is possible to avoid this because in my other nail salon experiences that does not often happen. She asked me if I wanted round or square nails, I said round but I still somehow ended up with square. She did not buff them down much at all and now I have fat gross square nails. 10/10 do not recommend. read more

Had a really good experience here today. $30 for a basic pedicure included salt scrub (some places charge extra for this). Really happy with the color options, quality of work and price! read more

I've been going to Cosmo Nails for at least 15 years. my daughter and son have also frequened. I recently tried the Dip nail coating, love it!! it costs a little bit more but lasts a little longer. read more

I've been to other nail salons around the area and keep coming back to Cosmo. It has a vibe of its own, which might not appeal to other clients used to more posh environments. I like the ambiance and I like the staff; they're always very detailed in their work. I usually get a gel manicure, and everywhere else the polish starts to come off after the 2nd week. When I get them done here, I've been able to go for almost 6 weeks with my manicure intact (of course at that point my nails have quite grown a bit). I'm not sure why I'm seeing so many negative reviews, but so far, this is the best place I've found. The only inconvenience is that, although you can pay with card, you can only tip with cash or check, and I'm not a cash person. I always forget and have to go running to the closest ATM to leave a tip. Other than that, I recommend it. read more

I drive all the way across town to go to Cosmo Nails. I don't get my nails done very often, but when I do I always go here. I've always had great gel manicures and pedicures, and they have a huge selection of gel polish available. They play classical music and don't have the TV on which I really appreciate too! read more

Love going here. They do the best manicures for a great price and I have never had to wait. Fast, efficient and conveniently located. I highly recommend it. read more

Cosmo has no idea how to do SNS dipping. They put a gel topcoat over the dip and it peeled off within 24 hours. I was there 3 times in a week to get nail fixed and gave up. Had to pay another salon to redo. read more

Very unwelcoming. My sister and I went for mani/pedis to celebrate my birthday and she left with sore feet., and I left disappointed with the worst "manicure"ever. The manicure consisted of a two minute soak in a tiny plastic bowl filled with water and dial foamy hand soap. The nail polish was left uneven and full of air bubbles. I didn't want my sister to feel bad because she was treating me for a gift so I returned the next day and the lady gave me a lecture about how they don't guarantee that the polish will stay past one day... Umm really? I showed her the bubbles in the polish and she said that unless I use gel that can happen. The flower that she painted on was not a flower, but dots. Afterwards she said that doesn't look good BUT continued with the clear coat and told me to go dry... Thanks read more

If there was an option for 0 stars that's what this place would have. Went in for a mani/pedi. Woman cut my cuticle which would not stop bleeding. Proceeding to still paint the cut nail but didn't get the polish up to the cuticle. AND charged me full price. Never again. read more

Made a last-minute appointment for a pedicure and really wish I'd stayed home (or better yet, brought my business elsewhere). Rough, harsh and unprofessional is how I'd describe the service. Wound up with raw cuticles and a smudged toe and $25 less in my checking account. Would not recommend this spot EVER to ANYONE. read more

I got a full set of acrylics. My technician was nice and friendly and constantly checked to make sure my nails looked as i had envisioned they would. Good prices for what you get. The only negative point about this salon was the atmosphere: it was a little dark. You get what you pay for. A good budget salon for a decent set of nails. I will be back to get a fill and polish change for prom. read more

I have always had a fantastic experience here. Ambiance is OK, but it's quaint and cozy. Pleasant service, timely, relaxing music. I live in a different area of MSP now, however, this is my go to for conventional services when I am in the area (manicure/pedicure). read more

My favorite nail salon. Not every nail tech is amazing, but they are all good. I've been going here for about a year, and only had one bad experience with gel set, where the polish chipped in a day. Just had the most beautiful pink and white set done. All the staff are friendly and kind, and prices are good. They usually can fit you in right away. read more

I should have known better. Came here for the first time for an eyebrow wax and my eyebrows never ever looked so horrible! My husband even noticed! "Was the person doing your eyebrows cockeyed or something"..I'm so angry!!! read more
