I always have a great experience at Mahalo Nails Spa. The salon is clean, welcoming, and has a really relaxing atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly and professional, and they took their time to make sure everything was done carefully and exactly how I wanted. My nails turned out beautiful and the attention to detail really stood out. You can tell they care about the quality of their work and about their customers having a good experience. It didn't feel rushed, and I appreciated how attentive everyone was throughout the appointment. If you're looking for a nail salon that does great work and treats clients well, I'd definitely recommend Mahalo Nails Spa. read more

I have been here a few times for a pedicure. Some things to note here: -they only offer gel pedicures -they do NOT accept Apple Pay or Amex -parking is either metered or a paid lot behind the building Quality of the service is good and the place is clean. Nothing to really rave about though. read more

I've always had trust issues with nail salons because it's hard for me to find a place that does good work on nails and places that won't hurt my skin and/or nails. Saw the good reviews on yelp here and needed my nails done so I decided to take a chance and book an appointment with Mahalo Nails and omg, best decision ever made!! Liam, my nail tech, did such an amazing job. I showed him some inspos and tell him what I wanted. He listened and made sure I liked my nails before moving on and he just wowed me! He was so nice and chill and made the whole experience awesome. The down fall was there was no free parking. It was either paid street parking or paid lot. Other than that, the interior of the salon looked beautiful! Very nice and clean! All staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Definitely found my new favorite nail salon! read more

Mahalo Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is like a factory little to no personal interaction. They pay more attention to their co-workers than the customer. Always chatting with one another with no interaction with customer except for a few grunts and nudges. I asked twice for more pointed form but still got rounded nails. Stylist apron was dirty before we started, her glasses were cloudy with spattered product; acrylic nail product bottles and other product bottles were loaded with product build up and rather nasty looking. When she used the Dremel drill she sprayed acrylic particles all over the work area and on me with no clean up. My nails looked okay but not professionally done. I can't see to recommend. read more

I have been coming here since I was 15. I am now 23. I would force my dad to drive 30 min from Rosemount all the way to Uptown every 2 weeks so I could come and get my nails done. I have only ever gotten acrylics at two other places and both times I was really disappointed. Mahalo is where it's at. They are almost always ready to seat me the second I get there. They're kind and friendly, even though I am not super talkative lol. The place itself is pretty and very clean. I have probably gotten my nails done by every single person that works there and think they are all amazing. I've always been a HUGE fan of different, over the top, fun nails and they deliver exactly what I'm looking for every time. I wash dishes and waitress for my job so my nails get a lottttt of work lol, and they usually last 3+ weeks if I don't go get them refilled. My charms hardly ever fall off either. Which is insane with the amount of stuff I have to do with my hands and how rough I am with them. If you bring them a photo, they can replicate it. The only things that are a slight downside is the price and I have to bring in my own charms sometimes to make sure they have them. Neither are really a big deal for me because my nails come out so perfect every time. I will always come here and I will always recommend people to come here! I get so many compliments on my nails every time I get them done and go out. Every one is always asking me where I get them done and I point them here (: read more

Very nice atmosphere and they were all very nice. I got exactly what I wanted and they look very neat, it only took less than an hour and a half!! read more

I had such a wonderful experience here--the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. I hadn't had my nails done in a while, and I mentioned it to the technician; she was so gentle and took her time, and the result was absolutely perfect. I don't know her name, but I'll be back on Friday to get my pedicure done. I'm so glad I found my new go-to spot. I'll share a picture! read more

I did builder gel and a pedicure. The salon was nice but the service sucked and I wasn't impressed with my nails for what I paid. I wouldn't return but it wasn't the worst place ever. Overly hyped in my opinion. It's very clean and pretty inside though. read more

I love this Salon. It's one of my favorite nail salons in the cities. Anytime I try to go somewhere else to save a couple dollars. It's never worth it in the end. Let's be for real, getting your nails done these days are pricy. It's located in uptown and all the nail technicians are pretty well versed. I've gone in there multiple times with what I think I want and always end up going with their recommendations. They even offer a card for you to come back and they'll fix your dip or gel for free if you have any chips(time is different) It's very clean and the decor and ambience is great. They usually have some top 40 music going on. With very comfortable seating. Somewhere to hang your purse! I've had their manicure(gel and dip) and pedicures. Both fantastic. They also have a wide range of stones, gels , colors so they should be able to cater to any design you want although it gets pricy. I let Lynn freestyle on my nails when I went in. And it was pretty cool! Overall. Love it. I don't enjoy driving here cause you have to pay for parking. And sometimes if you go at noon the street can be super busy but it's not terrible. I'm just lazy haha. They do have a paid parking lot too. Plus it's located right next to a Buffalo Wild Wings so you can grab some food too! Love it Go ahead and try it! read more

Mahalo Nail Spa - Dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love this place and MOST of the techs are good. I went in to get a full set with gel and it had like a med length for the nail. My total was 100.00 and tip because she did great. But then I go in for a fill and they booked me with the girl I did not want. She charged me 100.00 because of the length, but then she filed down my nails shorter and still charged me. Then I asked for 10 diamonds, one on each nail. She puts them in and then said it would be 25 extra because they are Swarovski and they weren't. Plus my nails came out uneven. One of the diamonds fell out the next day. My advice is book Demi she is GREAT read more

I had such an amazing experience staff is so welcoming and warm I haven't done my nails for a min I let the girl know and she was gentle she took her time and they came out beautiful like perfect sadly I don't know her name but I'm going back on Friday to get my feet done I'm so happy I found a new home .

Mahalo Nail Spa - Fall Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I had to take a Lyft to two salons before I found Mahalo. I flew in earlier that day and my nails were top priority. I walked in and showed Annie how bad my nails were and she understood the assignment :) I was in dire need of a dip manicure and Lavie saved the day! She was nice enough to take me close to closing and she did a great job! One of my nails was split and she fixed it in no time. I had the best conversation with Lavie and Annie! They told me all about the local area and where all the great spots to eat were. We talked about the events around town and places I could go for scenic parks. They were both warm and welcoming...I felt like a regular customer. I had the best time and it made the experience all around top rated! Every time I visit Minneapolis, I will be coming here! read more

I feel like it's really hit or miss whenever I come here nowadays. Lately I've been getting nail techs that do a sloppy job. I've been leaving feeling very disappointed and that I've wasted my money. the prices keep changing too based on who does my nails which is super frustrating. A small heart design on 1 finger went from $5 to $15 in a matter of 2 weeks--unreal! Today I asked for my nails to be a little shorter, but she cut them too short AND changed the shape AND blamed me for saying I wanted them shorter saying they don't look as nice. I think I'm going to have to give this place a rest for a while or request specific people. Lily was NOT it. read more

Best dip mani and gel pedi I have had in years! I was visiting the area and discovered this great nail spa close to my hotel.

I am obsessed with Mahalo and have been happy with my service every time. Definitely schedule ahead of time and do not risk walking in since they're usually booked out. They do a variety of nail shapes, trends like chrome and glaze, and can replicate pretty much any design you'd like. read more

I am so happy with my nails! I showed Ha T a picture of what I wanted, and although we had some miscommunication at first, I walked out of the salon with the exact style that I was hoping for. The salon provides warranty cards for gel, dipping powder, and crystal design services. I was happy to know that if anything went wrong once I left, I could come back to get it complimentarily fixed! It has been two weeks since I got my nails done and they are still in excellent condition. Mahalo Nail Spa is on the more expensive end for nail services, but the quality and care that they provide makes it completely worth it. Tip: Mahalo Nail Spa is operating by appointment-only due to COVID. They only take appointments one day in advance, so call early in the day to make sure you get an appointment at your desired time! read more

Booked 2 pedis for Saturday morning on Thursday as a birthday gift for myself. I messaged Mahalo on Yelp and they got back to me quickly and confirmed our appointments, which was a convenient alternative to calling. We showed up a couple minutes late but I think we were part of the first appointments. I was glad to wait because we had so many polish choices and the holding area was clean and pretty. The chairs for the pedicures were nice and the baths for your feet were very clean and pretty. Each nail artist had a clean, sealed kit of tools which I don't think I've ever seen, so I was really impressed with the cleanliness of Mahalo! Our nail artists were very friendly and professional. I am thrilled with my nails!! I can't wait to come back. Also -- they give you a little gift bag after your service!!!! I've never had that before. So nice. -- UPDATE -- Sad to update this review with my mom's big toe paint almost totally peeled off. We'd go back but don't have time today. Shoot. read more

I can tell she takes pride and compassion in her art. I've gotten tons of compliments so far. I had a very pleasant experience. It's very clean and everyone is taking appropriate caution during the pandemic. I felt very safe and comfortable. One of the best experiences I've had getting acrylics. read more

This shop has amazing nail techs. Super friendly staff and clean space. I will definitely be back!

I've come to realize people change their hair and I change my nails. I like bright colors and if I get Acrylic nails, usually a Stiletto shape. I decided to check out Mahalo Nail on Sunday. I made an appt on Friday day to make sure I was able to get it. They were very easy to understand on the phone, and after looking at many pictures, I was super excited to try this place out! My favorite nail salon is in Richfield, MN. However, I now live in St. Paul. Richfield isn't ideal for me, Minneapolis, really isn't either, but that isn't going to stop me from trying new places. Eventually I will find one that is close with great service. I don't know the name of the Nail Tech, I had for my manicure and I have been kicking myself for not asking. My nails are on point and sharp as heck! He was spectacular! Each step, he would explain things to me, and then he would check-in making sure I was pleased. I also noticed after each file, he would check to make sure the nail he was working on was still at a sharp point. In the beginning of the process he measured finger by finger to make sure they were even, and compared the left and right hand. I was very happy about this manicure. I am thinking about next time, I will potentially get a design or something like that. Unless I chicken out. We'll see. Ca, is who did my pedicure, she is really nice, and I really enjoyed talking to her. Overall, I would definitely get my nails done here again, they are so friendly, and very good at their jobs. The shop itself is very pretty, well kept, and clean! One thing I forgot to add, in todays world people are always in need to a full charged electronic. They have chargers for both Apple and Android products at each manicure station. read more

Overly price for a basic job. This place took me and my plus one right away as a walk in and I wanted to do a bit of spoiling and decided to splurge on the volcanic pedicure which includes a massage with hot stones but my experience was a simple rub with seriously cold stones along with a quick clear polish shortly after being rushed out for their upcoming guest. The service was mediocre at best definitely not worth your money read more

10/10 would recommend, the place is nice, great costumer service and they do a great job

So I've come here a total of 3 times and I am more than satisfied. The only reason for the minus one star is for the second time I stopped in for a designed gel manicure that my technician did great on, its just the process of doing so was not pleasant. He was a bit rude and kept scoffing at each question I had.. This time I had the opportunity to have Lucy do my nails. She let me know the difference in gel and dipped powder and explained in great detail the cons and pros of each. Since I had never done dip powder before I decided to give it a try and the process was interesting to watch as she worked her magic on my hands. I did want some stones on my nails and each time she made sure it was what I wanted and where I wanted it. We held great conversations and she was more than great! I will definitely book with her the next time I go! read more

Second time getting dipped manicure prior was elsewhere and Mahalo is my new go to for all nail care needs. Henry took the time to make my nails look fabulous and did not make me feel like he was rushing even though they were super busy on a Tuesday afternoon. He concentrated on making my nails smooth and a perfect almond shape while making sure I was happy throughout. Cost was upfront prior to him starting which was $55 as he took off my prior dip. If you want to make sure your nails look top notch see Henry!! Cash only for tips read more

I only get my nails done on special occasions and I've been coming here for two years. They are super friendly and professional. They do not disappoint. Just tell them what you want and it's done. You won't regret it. Highly recommend calling to reserve ahead of time. I usually call or reserve on Yelp a few days ahead. The only down fall is the limited parking but I've never had a problem.

Seems they opened not too long ago and still working out kinks but too long and don't want to read? Unfriendly nail tech, bubbling manicures, and management who doesn't want to give refunds unless they see the bubbling manicures happen before their eyes for now :( Came in on a gloomy Saturday and found 3 nail techs and a huge beautiful space...empty. A lady was in the corner getting a pedicure in a beautiful chair but I wondered why such a beautiful place was so barren at peak manicure time? (Or at least in DC or NYC, Saturdays were pretttttty popular times). Regardless, my friend and I picked out our colors (amongst opi, Essie, and some other brands) and sat down next to each other. My friends lady seemed nice but wow, my girl seemed to just be annoyed and pissed off at the world or my nails. She was rough, picked my cuticles to where it hurt, and didn't really do a clean job, if that makes sense. She hardly filed down the nails and even though it was very uneven, she tried to tell me to wash my hands like she was done. I asked her to file them evenly and she "filed" then once more but eh, at this point I didn't even want to bother anymore with asking her to file again. She painted my nails, unevenly. Rushed through it. Sent me to get my nails dried and then called me over to get a top coat. Meanwhile, my friend, gets awesome treatment and her lady checks in on her and does the top coat by my friend. We pay our $17 dollars (not including tip) and leave tip at the counter as business is picking up. FAST FORWARD AN HOUR LATER- my friend and I look down at our nails and ALL the polish has bubbled! Do we drive back and pay for parking to get them redone or ask for a refund? We go back to show them and ask for a refund because we hardly have time for a new manicure and have a wedding to attend BUT they say no refunds and they can redo quickly. They quickly repaint our manicures and after drying, my friend gets up and hers has started to bubble again. :( We show them again and they just offer us cash back and we take it, leaving with our manicures stripped and naked. Sad to say but I wish we didn't bother going in because my nails would have at least been ok looking than the condition they were left in. Unfortunately there was no mahalo involved. It would have been better experience, aside from the bubbling manicure, if my nail tech tried to be a little friendly. She was like an ice queen and did not make me feel relaxed at all. read more

So let me start off by saying that I don't even live in Minneapolis! I come here from New York because that's just how AMAZING they are! I'm a flight attendant so the first time I ever came here was during a layover. My nails were absolute trash and Tom revived it like a pro. I got a nude ombre acrylics done the first time, and I received compliments nearly every flight! And I kid you not, my acrylics lasted for a month before it started lifting! When I needed to get them filled, I couldn't find a work flight to come all day way to Minneapolis so I settled for a salon in New York with raving reviews. My nails lifted and broke in 2 weeks!!! So this morning, I got on a flight from LGA-MSP just to get my nails done from Tom and now waiting for my flight back to New York. My fiancé thinks I'm crazy, my non flight attendant friends thinks I'm bougie, but honestly, I can't trust anybody else with my nails now! It's worth the trek! Needless to say, my nails looks AMAZING. Thanks so much Tom & Mahalo nails! read more

I found Mahalo Nail Spa when I did a search for the best nail salon in Minneapolis, on Yelp. I read reviews that said Liam was amazing so, naturally, I set an appointment with him - that was a year and a half ago! Let's fast forward to today - I am moving to a new city and starting a new job so, obviously, Liam HOOKED ME UP!!! I am trying to find a feasible way to fly back on a monthly basis for my mani/pedi by him and his team. I don't want anyone else to touch my nails. Seriously. Lol PSA: If you want to be in a clean, comfortable and relaxing environment AND have your nails on point... look no further! Ps. Take a look at the fabulous work Liam did today on my nails. Eyes will definitely be in the "new girl" once I walk in with these bad boys.. ‍ read more

I have been having a hard time finding good nail spots that really can get my calluses. This place has done the best thus far in MN.

Alright so I moved to Minnesota about three years ago in the summer of 2015. I've visited 4 nail shops since living here and have never been satisfied. So of course I decided to explore Yelp and try once again to find a nail salon I could at least tolerate. I found Mahalo nails and just from looking at the pictures decided to give it a try. I am BLOWN AWAY. My nails are so on point and the pedi was wonderful as well. My nail technician was Bee and did he work some magic or what. He was very detail oriented and made sure my nails were exactly what I wanted. The salon itself is clean and comfortable and the service was prompt and fast. I had made an appt on the same day for 12 and they had me seated on the dot. The owner was lingering around watching everyone's work. He seems to care about the quality of the nails and service. And to top it off I came in at 20 weeks pregnant and the massage during the pedi really was wonderful for those swollen ankles and feet. They had little water bottles, and Bee helped me adjust myself in the pedi massage chair due to my growing belly. In conclusion I felt well taken care of I had a great experience. I will be returning. Finally found my nail salon in the twin cities!!! read more
