I had a great experience getting my nails done at V Nails! Everyone who works here is nice and friendly and I was happy with my manicure! Also, you can't beat the price, I paid $38 for a gel mani. Pro tip: even though they take walk ins you are better off calling ahead, they get quite busy! read more

The place is a bit small if you don't like being in close proximity to others. Le provided service for my gel manicure. She was gentle with my fingers and very patient. They even provide a little back massage at the end! The price is similar to other places: $39 before gratuity if you pay with a card, and $38 before gratuity if you pay with cash. I will definitely go back again read more

I LOVE V Nails. Such kind staff and great atmosphere. Plus you get a free shoulder massage with your service! I take all my friends here.

I came in for the second time for a pedicure. Both times I had different people, but they were so friendly and did a great job, honestly. Not only were the professionals friendly and bubbly, but the customers that visit are as well. They seem to uphold a great rapport with all their customers, creating a relaxing, friendly vibe throughout. It's a smaller place, but it feels cozy. They do prefer appointments, but are more than willing to try and fit you in as a walk in. read more

V Nails is FANTASTIC!! I have been going there for over 10 years. The have earned many "best of" local awards and they deserve it. The salon is always clean and comfortable, the selection of polishes and gels is giant, and unless you try to get a last minute appointment on a weekend in the summer, you can get in pretty fast! I My main service that I get is a gel manicure, but every few times I go I also get a deluxe pedicure, what a treat!!! I love their manis and pedis so much! Both feature massage, lotion, careful and exacting skill as well. Definitely DEFINITELY go there the next time you need nail services, and I highly recommend making an appointment if its an evening or weekend that you want to go! read more

When looking for a nail salon, you often hear or read horror stories. Take a look through V Nails' reviews and you'll find this spot stands out among all others - in an exceptional way! I'm usually a serial Groupon buyer at wherever has deals but always regret it. From now on, THIS is my pedi spot! We were recommended to V Nails by a friend who says she won't get pedicures anywhere else, which is quite the review. We had to try it out! Located in Hopkins just behind Thirty Bales, with free parking around back. We made a reservation the day of and were welcomed in right away. The prices at V are extremely competitive - may be one of the cheapest pedis I've ever gotten! And WOW, the service and quality you get for the price are on a new level. Our pedicurists were so welcoming and friendly, introducing themselves and getting us started with the perfect hot water. They checked in throughout the process to make sure the water was the right temp, what shape we wanted our nails, and at several other points. I so appreciate this level of care! The basic pedicure includes an amazing hot stone massage, lotion rub and hot towel. During our pedis we felt so at home - the ambience was great, the staff was friendly and chatty, and other clients were clearly regulars who love the place, too. By the end we were laughing and chatting with fellow clients and the team! Seriously, five star service and experience here. I'll be back! read more

I've been a customer for over two years, I used to live closer but moved to southern suburb, a 40 minute drive to VNAILS. I've went to 4 or 5 other places where I now live and I have to say, IT'S WORTH THE DRIVE TO HOPKINS FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL WORK EVERY NAIL TECH DOES HERE!! Anna is SUBURB at pedicures. Lee and several others are amazing with nails. I'm committed to the drive, as I've found no other salon that does the great work they do here! Call ahead of time to schedule, they accept walk-ins but I've been there several times where they've had to turn people away because they are all booked up. read more

Anne and the other nail techs are incredible! I love coming here and always leave with beautiful nails!

I go here regularly for dips and pedicures. They do an excellent job, are friendly and you can't get a better price!

Ruined my natural nails by overfiling with the drill at an angle and the owners response to me emailing with photos of my destroyed nails was "It happens. Your nails will grow out." Not even an apology. Pay a little more for a reputable nail tech that stands behind their work and the health of your nails :( A quick Google search and you'll find this damage is not normal and is due to poor technique. read more

My favorite place to get my nails done. Everyone is so nice and does a good job. I really appreciate that they know their customers, even though I'm only there once a month. read more

Monday morning walk-in Gave it a shot and got a basic pedi and gel mani.... $70 + a requested tip. Not cheap as previous reviews said. Philip (guy) helped me... minimal effort. The service was plain ok, nothing special. He definitely tried to sell me every upgrade possible. read more

Great service and beautiful work. They are super friendly Love going to them for mani/pedi

I went to v nails for the first time for a dip manicure and they had VERY limited options of dip color. Within 5 days of getting my nails done, 2 of my nails had chipped. Would not recommend read more

A friend recommended this nail salon and I'm so glad I tried it out! It is my go-to place now, with unmatched service and a lovely environment/feel to the salon. The employees truly care about their customers and remember many of their customers by name! They are lovely over the phone and greet you when you walk in the store. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome in the space. I've been here three times and had different nail artists each time and been so happy with each experience. The most recent time I visited, I got a pedicure and gel manicure on a Thursday night. They were able to accommodate me on short notice - I called ahead about 15 minutes to make sure they had time for me. My experience started with a lovely pedicure (I got the basic pedicure for $27) and I'd say it is way above a basic pedicure anywhere else. It includes a massage with hot stones and hot towels, very relaxing!! Then I got my gel manicure and that was above and beyond as well ($30 - very reasonable compared to other salons in the twin cities). They do the BEST job. My nails are perfect and I could tell they Phillip paid extra attention to detail and made my nails exactly how I asked. After my manicure, I even got a hand massage and a shoulder massage - included in the basic gel manicure! My whole experience was so pleasant and I know I'll be returning soon! read more

First time here. My friend and I worked with Dien and Anna. They both did a fab job. I had gel nails and my friend did a regular manicure. I would recommend this place for sure read more

Really awesome customer service. Super friendly staff and really good at what they do. Will be returning!

Went in for a first timer they were nice and all but messed up the color of my pedicure was supposed to be pink and came out green instead on top of that I confronted the lady doing my nails about it being crooked and she got upset told me " maybe I can't do your nails " on top of that she over charged me personally didn't like the service due to her making me feel bad about having crooked nails.. WILL NOT go here again. read more

I made an appointment for myself and a friend to get a mani/pedi. I was clear about what we wanted for our manicures. I agreed on a time with Ann and proceeded to arrive on time. We didn't get to do our mani/pedis together and were separated. I spent 2+ hours at the salon and was treated rudely. They said a tech had left so they couldn't do my nails, but proceeded to take walk-ins even though it conflicted with their appointments. I saw other customers there for over an hour just waiting for their appointment as well. Each service was intermittently done which resulted in a terrible end result. I used to really enjoy this place, but they are quantity over quality now. I spent so much money to get my nails nice before my vacation and hated them. I sadly will be finding a new place. read more

I am not one to leave reviews, but this was not the best experience for getting my nails done. I did not realize that appointments were preferred for this small business, which is completely understandable, even though they advertise that walk ins are welcome. However, I would have preferred to be turned away rather than having my nails quickly (and not what I wanted) done. After stating I wanted a manicure with tips to the receptionist, I was given a ten minute wait and had no issues! When the tech asked what I wanted, I asked for a manicure with tips and showed her a picture. The nail tech was upset and quite rude with my asking. Understandable that they were busy, but again I would have preferred they ask for me to come back with an appointment rather than rush through the nails. After talking to 3 separate techs about what I wanted with my nails, one tech finally started dip powder on my nails. I, again, asked if I could get tip extensions and she replied "you don't want that." I am not the best with customer service conflict, as I work in the customer service industry and understand the pressure. However, I would have preferred a different approach. I felt very uncomfortable with the situation and felt high maintenance with my request. Long story short, I wanted dip powder with tips in only one solid color. Many miscommunications must have happened, and I ended up with dip power with no tips in the wrong color. My cuticles are raw and bleeding, and the dip was filed very poorly that the tips of my fingers are raw. This is a small business, very clean and cute inside. However, I would have preferred to take my time and actually get what I wanted. Included below is a picture of what I showed the techs and what I got. I am going to a different place to have my nails fixed. I would love to try again with an appointment to see if that would help! I mean only respect, and that they would be able to see this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Locals in Hopkins love this place, and I would be willing to try again. Be sure to make an appointment and be thorough on what you want. Definitely a life lesson for me! read more

I have never once been on this and said a bad thing about any where I've been. Because I work in service industry and understand that it may take a couple of tries. However DO NOT WASTE your money ON A DELUXE PEDICURE HERE ITS 10 min long it's the worst I have ever gotten all my years. After being upgraded to deluxe a 30 sec exfoliation. Waste of money. #nailbar4L read more

I've been here twice now so finally feel like I can offer a fair review! My first visit the nail technician was very friendly and welcoming. We chatted while she did my nails - which also turned out pretty good - and offered a great massage. My second visit the technician was less conversational and it felt a little awkward. I don't need a full conversation, but I'd at least like to know your name. I've had gel done for both visits. My first visit, the gel started to crack on my thumb after just a couple of days. It finally split completely down and I had no choice but to go back after just 2.5 weeks of wear. The second time around, I am on week 3 and slight cracking, but not nearly as much. Unfortunately now my nails are chipping more, so it seems I haven't quite found the balance yet. The atmosphere here is not great. Chairs are cheap and uncomfortable and no good place to hang my coat, so it ended up sitting on the floor and gathering dust. I'll be back since this is so close and the price is right, but it's definitely not my first choice in the Twin Cities. read more

My first visit today, and I was a walk-in which they were able to accommodate. The chemical smell was overwhelming, and I almost left before my service started, but decided to stay. My regular salon has a better air filtration system. Ann was pleasant, and I thoroughly enjoyed my basic pedicure complete with hot stone massage. I noticed later that the polish didn't completely cover some of my nails on the sides, and it was not cleaned up near my little toe. Looking head-on at my nails they appeared ok at the salon. The $34 charge for a basic pedicure (plus $1 charge for using Visa) is reasonable and competitive. However as the polish didn't totally cover my nails, it was disappointing. I may try to find the polish online to touch it up. I enjoyed the pedicure, but due to the chemical smell and a less than satisfying result, I probably won't return. read more

This was the worst experience ever .. the guy who did my toes was a jerk , very angry . They don't even wash out there tubs I had to get toes redone elsewhere due to the horrible job .. it was not worth 92 dollars Lesson learned !! read more

Highly recommend V nails! Very busy and popular nail salon in downtown Hopkins. Although it is a bit smaller in the inside, they provide excellent staff and efficient services! I was so impressed by how kind each person I interacted with was and how clean their salon was. After every customer a staff member would wipe down the area for the next. They have a great selection of nail polishes, offer water, and you also received a complementary neck massage after nail services. V nails prices are great as well! Added bonus is accessible street parking and a lot next to the building! Go check them out if you're in the area! read more

Ann can be sweet, (sometimes), but she overbooks and it's never relaxing. Lately I had noticed that she is quite rude to her clients, which is awkward. She's always running around answering the phone or something. My last appointment was during a very busy time for her and most of my nails lifted and were uneven and not up to par.I found LT Nails in Edina (formerly in Hopkins) and I cannot believe the difference. Ann used to do my nails with drill bits that were terribly dirty and use the "gel powder" from a filthy jar. They don't line their pedi bowls with the required liners nor do they clean in between clients. LT Nails is pristine, relaxing yet vibrant. They're only 10 minutes east and well worth it! Make the switch....trust me! read more

It was relaxing and nice, but I had to ask to have my cut. Then my nails were painted but the nail polish does not cover my entire mail. So my nails look like they have grown out for about a week but it hasn't even been 24 hours. I used to love this salon but something changed and it's just not the same as it was a year ago. read more

This is hands down the best nail salon I've ever been to.. The first time you go in even it may be busy but they will make an effort to get to know you.! If you come a lot they remember your name & the things you like getting done.! They just got a punch card service for using cash & after so many gives you a reward.! I love it because they take such good care of my nails and every now and then you get a reward for using cash.! They also all do a fantastic job at their practice.! I go to a specific person but she's not there I can go with anyone because they are all capable & do such a phenomenal job.! Love all of them.! read more

I like Ann and the other nail techs and it is the cutest salon, lots of white color with some black. Really pretty inside.

I've always had good experiences with pedicures here, and I've gotten my nails done here (acrylic) even though it's not the BEST (but still good and inexpensive). That being said, I got my nails done this last week (a full set, not a fill), and they look horrible. Crooked, curves upward, and not sized properly to my nails. It took a long time, too. My technician was Eric, and IF I go back, I will make sure I don't have him. *UPDATE I called in to share my negative experience, and they said to come in and they would make it right. They look better, but they said they couldn't fix all of them because they were really busy. I'm still not impressed, but I'll give them another shot. read more

It really sucks when not all the techs are on the same skill level. I've been here twice and had the guy do acrylics both times and both times someone else had to fix my nails. Anne who runs the place was super nice and eager to make sure I was happy. If I could have her do my nails every time I go, I'd continue giving them my business. The last straw for me was this second visit. I'm usually asked to rinse my hands after the acrylics dry but he didn't even have me wash my hands and continued to apply hand lotion on me after my everything was finished while I had dust all over. He seemed to be in a rush. He also used the cuticle trimmer on his own nails and then continued to use it on mine. I think the business can do without him honestly. It's too bad they'd keep someone like him working there. read more

I visited V Nails for the first time and they were wonderful. I do not get Pedis and Manis regularly, but they made me feel so welcome. The prices seem very reasonable and they made every effort to make it an enjoyable experience.

So my regular tech (of 15 yrs) moved away, and I'm having a hard time finding someone that can match her care and confidence. I was in desperate need of a mani/pedi. I called the salon and was able to come in that day. The salon is on the smallish side; slightly crowded, and I see why. The people there are very nice; not overly friendly, but just right. Mary did an outstanding job with both my pedicure and gel manicure! Honestly, I've been to fancier places, but the pedicure here was better. Mary is a master at massage. As for the manicure, they actually wrapped my nails to remove the old gel polish! In all the other salons I've tried, they just drill it off. I hate that because it ruins my natural nails. My nails are so well done! Again, Mary's hand massage was wonderful. She is the best so far! read more
