This salon is special! It is owned and staffed by women who care that you receive great service and the outcome you are looking for. Navy (owner and my stylist) remembers what I need and want- a bottle of water, a pillow behind my back, the colors and nail length that work for me. I see Anna and Dori also working hard to meet their clients expectations. Their first language is Cambodian but they all have or are mastering English. The atmosphere is casual, comfortable, and fun. Having been to many salons over the years, Lim's is the best for me! read more

I recommend Lim's Nails to everyone. It is the only nail salon I will go to. The staff are awesome and super personable! They know you by name, and it is like catching up with old friends! Super reasonably priced as well. read more

Love, love this place!!! I have been coming here since they opened. People are Amazing!! Raksa, Navy and Annie are my gals. Clean place and work are top notch. Because of my schedule polish stays on for a month and still looks great. Highly recommend this place! read more

They have always delivered the best quality service. I love the people that works there. I have been going to Lim's since they opened. Love the friendly atmosphere and they take their time to give you the best experience. read more

Lims Nails is great! I got a gel manicure for the first time in awhile. I usually get acrylics, but I am wanting to grow out my natural nails and Rashka was more than happy to help me with this! It cost me $27, and I tipped $5 for a total of $32 for the whole gel manicure. I would have given 5 stars if she didnt ask if she could skip the massage, but she did haha! She kind of seemed rushed. But other than that, great place and I am happy with my nails. read more

Lim's Nails - Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

See all

I have to give Lim's Nails five stars. I've been coming here for a while and it's been nothing but pleasant. Why do I keep coming back, is of course for my girl Kim, she is nothing but AMAZING. She does excellent work and she really cares about her clients. I also love the atmosphere and the staff are always friendly. I would definitely recommend this salon. Just please call ahead, they stay booked. read more

This is really difficult for me to write because I have been a loyal customer of Lim's nails since they opened almost ten years ago (my very sister helped Lim find the location for his salon). However, I was compelled to share the recent experience that I had, as I believe it's important for the owner, Navy, to understand that treating her customers in the manner that I was treated yesterday is unacceptable, bad for business, and just plain rude. I've written one other review in my life, which was positive, so for me to be putting this out there is telling. My mother purchased a gift certificate for my birthday upwards of $140. She is also a customer there and wanted to treat me to a gift she knew I'd enjoy, as I recently was laid off. I have referred countless customers to Lim's nails - virtually all of my friends go there as well as their friends and so on. Lim is no longer the owner of Lim's nails. The ownership has been transferred to Navy. So my story... I misplaced the gift certificate that my mom gave me at my house and could not find it. However, my mom still had the actual receipt for the purchase. I brought the receipt in to get my nails done and told Navy my story, however, she would not honor it and sent me away without getting my nails done. She was also rude and disrespectful to me - from what I hear, this is her typical state. While I understand every business has policies, I have been a loyal, longstanding customer for years, not someone who walked in off the streets claiming to have a gift certificate. Plus, I had the receipt from my mom showing that it was paid for with a credit card! To say that I am saddened and disappointed by her decision is an understatement. I like the nail technicians there and most of them do a great job, however, I, unfortunately, can no longer support and give my business to a place that can treat their customers the way Navy treated me. Not to mention, the couple of times that I did have Navy do my nails, she cut into my cuticles too much and caused me to have pain and ingrown nails. If you read some of the negative reviews on this site, you'll see that most of them are directed at Navy. I hope that Navy can learn from her mistakes and redirect her energy to treat people with kindness and respect. read more

Kim was excellent! Dropped in on a biz trip after checking reviews. Got a gel manicure. The place was clean and had plenty of choices. GREAT option for a really nice basic manicure. No spa treatment here (or I would up it to 5 stars) but my nails look outstanding and I would come back. read more

Really great job on my nails. Happy with the service and hours and able to fit me in! read more

Lim's Nails - This is after 3 weeks! - Nail Salons Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

Let me start off by saying looking at this 2.5 rating is simply mind blowing to say the least! I've been going to Lims since the shop opened going on two years. This shop is very personalized to Lims fantastic eye for design. Everything you see here was hands on by non other than Lim. LIM (the owner) does my gel manicure. Lims Nails has been open for going on two years. However Lim has been doing nails for over 7 yrs. I'm there faithfully every two weeks. I must say this is by far the BEST nail establishment I've ever experienced and this is coming from someone who's been getting their nails done for a very long time. Not only does Lim and his crew of dedicated workers provide excellent service they also provide a comfortable, relaxing, professional, clean and friendly environment. Lim takes his time, I've never felt rushed in any way. He is a true perfectionist he is so pristine and stops at nothing to make sure your satisfied before u leave. My nails look so perfect people are surprised when they learn these are my natural nails because they look too perfect to be real but they are! I've referred several people to Lims and they love it just as much as myself. Lim has a well established clientele and if u know him you'd definitely have to admit that once you get into his chair whether your a walk-in or appointment, this is YOUR time. Lim doesn't deviate from you in anyway. Kim is great as well. Her and Lim work side by side so she has learned from the best and trust me, you'll be pleased with either of them. Sam does my pedicure and is outstanding, he's very detailed, takes his time each and every time. To the others who rated negatively, I'm sorry you felt the need to go elsewhere but I'm here to tell anyone, once you've let Lim do your nails you'll never want anyone else on your hands because THAT is when you'll see know one measures up!!! So if you're looking for a place to go for complete satisfaction, look no more. I'd recommend Lim ANY day!!! read more

Lim's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

I called to make an appointment for myself and my 2 daughters. When I said I would like to make an appointment for 3 people, the woman on the phone let out an exasperated sigh. There are certainly kinder and more respectful ways to say you don't have the availability. Based on other reviews posted here, it's clear I'm not the only (potential) customer treated disrespectfully by staff at this business. Needless to say I won't attempt to make an appointment here in the future. read more

I LOVE LIM'S! I've been getting my nails done for years at all different places (Twin City Nails, Honey Nails, Cupid Nails...) and NONE of them compare to the customer service, care, and quality you get here. I'll never go anywhere else. My gel manicures are flawless (and I'm picky) and would last 3+ weeks every time if I didn't change them. They also know how to remove a gel manicure without destroying your nails which is awesome. PS - Most of the negative reviews on here are about not being able to get a walk-in spot. Easy solution - make an appointment. They're busy for a reason. They're the best!! read more

Love this place! A reservation is highly recommended but what good place doesn't need a reservation? All the nail techs are great!

Such great service at an amazing price!! I have tried many different places around the area, and this is hands down the best. Ana is always on time with her appointments and is very detailed and thorough with the services. You can not beat the price point! I would suggest calling for an appointment as they can be busy. read more

After my terrible pedicure from Happy Nails in EP, I was anxious to find a quality experience for my mom and 2 sisters before my brother's wedding. I was between V's Nails and Lim's, and I went with my gut and chose Lim's. I took the advice of other Yelpers and made an appointment for a Friday afternoon: 3 pedicures and 1 gel manicure. Well ladies (and gents I suppose), Lim's did NOT disappoint. Wow. We arrived a few minutes early and took our time picking out colors, but were quickly seated for our appointments all at the same time (always nice when you had a group!) Each of our nail providers were kind, professional and did a great job at both asking us questions that made us feel comfortable and welcome, while also giving us time to just chat with each other and enjoy the experience. We all felt totally at ease and relaxed immediately. The service was wonderful too! We all commented after that it was one of the best experiences we have had at a nail salon - very long foot soak/massage/scrub and the polish jobs were fantastic. I have complete confidence I won't need another pedicure for at least 3-4 weeks, and possibly only then because my nails will have grown out. The price was reasonable too - though you can get a pedicure other places for $20 or $25, the $27 price tag is completely worth it for the quality of work here! This is my new go-to spot; I'll be back in the future for pedicures and would love to try a gel manicure when the occasion arises. Thanks Lim's! read more

The best nail shop on the West side! Make sure to set an appointment, you can text them to make an appointment too. My gels last a month!! Also they don't ruin your natural, when you remove your gels your nails will be almost perfect!! I highly recommend!! read more

Saw the great reviews and decided to get a pedicure since I live so close to Lim's. Best decision I have made regarding my toes in years. This place won my loyalty today because of their excellent customer service, patience and perfection. If you are getting your nails done by anyone else other than Lim's...I feel sad for you. read more

Lim's Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

This is my GO TO nail place. There is literally no where else that has better manicure/pedicure quality, and whenever I get my nails done here, it last light years longer than every other place combined. I got my nails done (gel manicure) the beginning of the month from another place, and they fell off within a week - snagging on everything and peeling off. When I got a get manicure at Lim's, they never fall off unless I try hard to peel them off myself - they just grow out with my nail. My mom has always swore by this place, and of course I'm always stubborn and say I'm going to a place closer to home instead... but now whenever I get my nails done, the (a little longer) drive is worth it. The attention to detail and quality here is the best! Love this place :) read more

Best nail salon in the twin cities Their service is excellent- they take their time- no rushing!!! Will only go to Lims for now on!!! read more

I'm a long-time and faithful client for good reason. I've been to many nail salons over the years, but once I found Lim's Nails, I've not gone anywhere else. The staff is always courteous and friendly. They offer high quality and great value for their services. They are a busy little shop, I'd recommend making a appointment. BUT, they will accommodate walk-ins and just today accepted a walk-in just 10 minutes before closing. This shop is a gem! read more

I had left my nails until the last minute before my daughter's wedding and Lim's was able to get me in- barely! Even though I was a bit late, I got a beautiful pedi and gel mani. I will definitely go back. I think sometimes small, local salons get overlooked in favor of the fancier, big ones and I am very happy to have discovered this little gem! read more

sweet technicians and they try to do a good job. I got gels and am really happy with the service. Its clean and professional.

Love Lim's. Best experience I've ever had. I go all the time now. I'm a Lim's lifer. Period.

Super friendly staff, high quality work at a very good price! I really see no reason to go any where else! They accept credit card but they greatly appreciate cash! read more

Was recommended to go to Lims and tryed it for the first time today..My technician was Raska and I am so glad that I happen to get her to do my mani and pedi. My lucky day, she was such a perfectionist and her work was truly amazing. Salon was very clean and everyone there was very pleasant as well. I will definitely go back to Raska next time and to Lims for my nail needs!! read more

I thought I had crossed all my T's, I read the reviews on Yelp thought I had found the perfect nail shop walked in was pleasantly greeted picked up a business card and chose a polish color, guess NOT. Made an appointment at LIM'S NAIL SALON for an acrylic fill and a pedicure, The workmanship on the fill was so poor when ( NAVY ) my technician inquired of the color I wanted on my toes for my pedicure I said we can cancel the pedicure, washed my hands ready for my polish paid my bill and handed NAVY back their business card that was her TIP. my appointment was at 2 PM it is now 5 PM the nail polish was so OLD it is still not dry I guess tomorrow when I go to Walmart I'll have to step into their salon and get a polish change. Thank you so much NAVY for your poor service. And Yes I SHARED THIS On FB. ( WHO THE HELL YOU KNOW CANCELS A PEDICURE) read more

perfection simply the best gel manicure ever.. Lim is patient, talented, sweet and a perfectionist.. soooo happy! read more

First gel I've ever gotten that didn't start peeling after 1 week. 8 days going strong! Will be back!

I decided to try this shop based on reviews. I got a nail tech named navy who not only was rude as hell but also cut my finger when she overclipped my cuticles. read more

I'm in my late 50's and have had lots and lots of mani/pedi's - and this is the only salon I'll use for the rest of my life! I've tested them for over a year - and everyone is talented - going the extra mile so that my nails look better and better each time I go. In particular, I LOVE Anna, which I'm reluctant to say since I expect she'll become harder and harder to see once the word is out, but she promised me I'll always get first dibs!! The business is run extremely well and the atmosphere is happy and peaceful. Just Go!! read more

I love Lim's Nails! They pamper and take care of every customer that walks in the door. Pedicures and manicures are great and reasonably priced. My go to place for feeling good and looking good too!! read more

Someone at the Dunn Brothers Coffee shop in the same area recommended Lim's Nails many months ago, but I just had the occasion to try them. Wow. Nice decor, friendly people and a great pedicure with polish that stayed and stayed and looked great for a long time. Quick in and out, great value. I've been highly recommending Lim's Nails to my friends! read more

Lim's used to be my favorite place to go for a manicure or pedicure. Now, however, I will never go there again. The last few times I've gone, they always cut my cuticles and say, "Oops...sorry" and giggle. This last time, they not only cut cuticles on one toe and one finger, but they also exfoliated my feet raw (I don't have feet that need a lot of exfoliation) to the point where I had three open, bleeding wounds. It was right before I took a trip, so I had these wounds rubbing and reopening every time I'd walk. Three weeks later, one of them is still very red and irritated. It's either infected or it's going to be a huge, nasty scar some day. I do not at all recommend going here. read more

Bad timing: I walked in at 5:30, which I figured was plenty of time as they close at 7:00. I was wrong. They were hesitant to acknowledge me and then turned me away. The 2 techs both had clients. The 3rd tech had just left. read more

Super Disappointed. I had some time before a meeting in the Hopkins area and used Yelp to find a place that took walk ins to have my nails done. I walked into this place at 5:30p. It took a few minutes before one of the 2 nail techs would acknowledge me. I asked if I could get a gel manicure. He told me no, because there was another person coming in to have their nails done. This doesn't sound like a walk in business to me. I decided to go to VI nails instead and I was very happy! read more

After a few failed attempts at finding a salon for a basic manicure I found Lim's. Shawni did my manicure and provided feedback for a look from a pic on my phone is was trying to replicate. I'll try a gel manicure and pedi next time. Good solid four stars - didn't feel anything was above and beyond to get five stars. Decent hand massage - good attention to detail. I was told I will want to make a reservation as they get busier with the nicer weather - read more

I do have to say that although my nails chipped early and the cuticle removal was painful, my nails are still shiny, feel good if you run your finger over the nails themselves and shockingly, even though I just finished cleaning out my fridge, still have four unchipped nails. read more

I have never had a a artist till i have Lim do my nails I went to nail on 8th for 15 years the person left with not telling any one. Stated there one more time under new person and she was very bad so I was told to try out Lim's and I will never go to a nether salon for the prices are low and the place is always clean and the people are great and I get art done on each nail and it is OUT STANDING, So it you are looking for a GREAT place go to LIM'S. read more

I love Lim's! My friend Melanie introduced me to them and I will never go anywhere else. I've been dragging other friends with me too and they are all believers now. I am an admin and have always been rough on my nails. I tried the gel polish and it lasts for weeks! They do a great job and are always cheerful and welcoming. It's a great environment and fantastically set up. I've done manicures and a pedicure there. Prices are reasonable and the quality can't be beat! read more
