    I came here with my sister for a Mani Pedi, this place always seems to have availability. We were serviced right away and the front desk person was very nice and welcoming. We got the exact same service, but she got a longer foot massage and extra foot treatments. She even got a hand and arm massage and I got neither. I don't understand how we paid the same amount, but the end result was different. I got gel polish and it was uneven with bumps and bubbles, but at that point, I didn't want to stay any longer so I didn't say anything. The last time I was here I did not have a good experience, but she convinced me so I went ahead with it. This is the third and final time that I will come to this nail salon. I also left with nail polish on the palms of my hand. Not to mention the price was not worth the service for me.

    This has come to be my go-to nail spot. Partly because it is convenient (not for parking, but otherwise good location S. Mpls) and the service is reliably consistent. I know what I'm going to get and the manis and pedis hold up. This is a middle-end, not high end and not bottom of the barrel, just nice, consistent service and results. Book an appt for the best experience. Pro-tip: grab some popcorn from next door or a Starbucks after you leave with those gleaming nails!

    I went to Nailish back in November, and had a chaotic experience. Echoing other reviewers - my whole experience was rushed. When I walked in, I was barely greeted and was told to pick my colors. I was getting a dip manicure, and regular pedicure - and I didn't even know which swatches were dip. I tried matching my toes to my fingers as best as a could with the color. I started with a pedicure. The pedicure itself was fine, but I was consistently bothered being asked if I wanted to upgrade - when I had just booked a normal pedicure. I was even asked if I wanted scrub, in a way that seemed like it was included in my pedicure, and it ended up being $5 extra - but I take responsibility for my naivety. During my pedicure, another tech came by and started removing my fingernail polish. I didn't mind this, but it was a bit unusual compared to other salon experiences. The pedicure itself was pretty standard - but I was bothered by the tech criticizing me about my callouses and showing the tech next to us. After my pedi, I was moved to a different nail tech to do my dip manicure. I was immediately hassled for having short nails and was asked multiple times if I wanted nail extensions because they would make my nails look much nicer. After saying no multiple times, she started on my dip and constantly complained about my short nails. In the end, my dip manicure was ok - but more thick and splotchy. Finally, I was on my way to pay and I was asked to get cash from an ATM in the back storage room. I don't mind doing this but just seemed very pushy and unusual. I was unable to withdraw cash since my bank was going through a transition and I didn't have my new information. The tech let me pay with a card, but showed a loyalty punch card to me and said I could get one next time when I pay cash. Needless to say, I left this appointment more anxious than when I started and canceled the other appointments I had scheduled for the holidays. I have not returned.

    Cindy was nice but rushed. The staff next to her tried to translate but then gave me an attitude when there was a miscommunication. Very unwarranted and disrespectful. I will tell my friends to skip this salon.

    this is the first nail salon i've been to in the twin cities and my first experience was good overall. i got gel-x manicure. i wanted to do a pearl color but did not find it in the nail color selection so i showed one of the technicians the color i wanted. the nail prep process was smooth but the technician tug into my skin a couple time, which hurt a bit. to get the pearl color, they did white + chrome powder, but i was not warned that chrome powder would be an extra $15. the entire appointment took about 1 hr and 5 mins. overall rating: 6/10

    They do not take care of your nails here, I've been multiple times and have left with my nails completely scored and ridged. Maybe they can do a set just fine but don't bother if you just need a quick mani. You will be very disappointed. Also the staff did not seem like they wanted to be there, receptionist was on their personal phone when I walked in.

    Clean and convenient, with friendly talented techs! My nails are finally getting longer with gels that don't lift. If I chip one, they fix it for me no problem.

    Nails post visit. There are definitely some misses with the cuticle work and polish application
    Iris H.

    Not great and won't be going back. I got a basic mani/pedi with regular polish and had a regular polish removal done. For the mani: They don't use cuticle remover and instead just soak your hands before using the tools. Ruby was very heavy handed and punched my skin multiple times while removing my cuticles. She also used the drill not just on my cuticles but overall nail before buffing. I told her I was not getting gel and she still proceeded to use the drill. Drills can take off so much of your natural nail if you aren't careful so there's no reason to use it all over the nail when you aren't getting gel, or gel-x. The application of the polish was sone while I was in the pedicure chair by a different person. The polish flooded my cuticles and there was very little cleanup done. There was also no cuticle oil applied. For the pedi: Ruby did better on this but still no cuticle remover applied and the tub wasn't filled all the way. She did a good job removing callouses and applying the polish. Again, the drill was used and no cuticle oil applied. For a salon to not doesn't do basic manicures and pedicures well, I would never go to them for something more extensive.

    I returned to Nailish, but my second manicure was less impressive than the first. There are lots of streaks/bubbles as pictured like the bottle of polish was running out. I also did not get any lotion or massage on my hands during my manicure which I expected since I received it last time for the same service and paid $38. COVID-19 wise, they still use great protocols that make me feel safe. They also offered me a rewards program on this visit for $10 after 5 visits. However, I don't think I will be returning.

    Cuticle is cut and still bleeding.

    Honestly, I really needed a relaxing 30 minutes and wish I had just stayed home instead. I had scheduled an appointment this afternoon with Jessica. When I arrived it felt very rushed and Jessica did not give me a manicure, instead I was seen by a different nail tech. He was nice but moved very quickly. He cut my cuticle area which bled and continued to bleed/hurt throughout the manicure. He did not offer any antibacterial ointment or an opportunity to disinfect the area. He acted as if it was a small matter. I made sure to clean the area with soap on my own after he finished trimming my nails. I'm not the type to make a scene or be dramatic which is why I sat through the manicure without complaining. I should have spoken up or just left the moment I was cut. He finished my nails and was kind so I still tipped over 20% in cash and that was that. However, I won't be coming back and I think it's important to share this for anyone else. Getting cut and bleeding during your manicure is not okay. The photo was taken a couple hours later when I arrived home. I guess they score points for matching my nail color to the color of the cut ‍

    Called one morning and they were able to get me in 30 minutes later and did beautiful work. I absolutely loved my manicure! The facility is clean and brightly lit and despite being incredibly busy, everyone was very nice and I did not feel rushed at all. Will definitely be going back.

    Acrylic full set!! 2 coats funny bunny and white tips!

    I always go to Jessica here and she does so amazing every time. She's so sweet and genuinely cares about you and the service she's providing. My go to!!

    Went to Nailish for a pre-vacation pedicure and was severely disappointed. The pedicure experience was painful, the technician seemed to be digging the tools into my nails and skin. The polish application was incredibly sloppy, I left with polish all over my toes. I added one star back in because I emailed the owner with pictures of my bad pedicure and he refunded me immediately to make it right. I am thankful for the refund but won't be back to try again.

    I can't say enough good things about Lisa and Kimber Esthetics. I found Lisa through Yelp after…read moreturning 30 and deciding I needed a leader/helper/expert about my skin. I had never taken care of my skin consistently, but I know if I don't want a face lift in 20 years I have to get on it now. I've had three facials over the course of about eight weeks and it's *insane* how good my skin looks. When I came in, I had a ton of little-used product at home. Lisa sat down with me and sorted through what I had, talked to me about what to use when, why, and encouraged me to finish using the product I had paid for before switching to SkinCeuticals if that's what I wanted to do (she said it was fine if I wanted to keep using the over the counter stuff, too). I started her recommended regimen and gradually added a few new products after using up the things I already had. Last week, even my husband commented he noticed an improvement in my skin's appearance. Not only does Lisa provide skilled, professional service, but she's a genuine, warm, and sweet person. She's always professional, but I feel like I'm going to see a friend. She takes the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and educate me on what's happening to my skin, why it's happening, what I can do about it, and what to expect. Bonus? During every facial, Lisa rubs my feet, arms, and hands as part of the service while waiting for some of the masks and whatnot that need time to work. With how good my skin looks, I'd think she was great even without it. But having it be a part of the facial makes me love seeing her even more. I would absolutely recommend Lisa and Kimber Esthetics to anyone. She does great work!

    I had the best brow wax I've ever had on Saturday at Kimber Esthetics - Seriously. Somehow my…read moresomewhat thin brows look fuller and more lush after the wax! Magical. Lisa took the time and paid the attention that is necessary for a top-notch brow wax, and they look spectacular. This wasn't just a slather and yank type wax, she trimmed, tweezed, powdered, waxed and tweezed again. I'm going back for a facial in November and can't wait to have that much detail paid to my skin. Her space is also super cute. It has a great boutique-y feel housed in a zen-like building. Bonus! ***UPDATE**** Just got my first facial from Lisa and I'm very happy with not only the results (thank you Lisa for the extractions and for zapping my zit), but also with the very Professional and attentive service she provided. I'm excited to continue the relationship in our (we are a team!) joint goal of slowing the inevitable aging of my skin. And of zapping more zits...it's so fulfilling! ;)
