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.

Minneapolis with lots of niceties: coffee or tea, a comfortable manicure chair, soothing music, nail polish for purchase and free street parking. I'd highly recommend going in for a service- not only for the expert job she does, but because she's an authentic and caring professional.

I heard about Lotus 21 through a Groupon. After setting up…read moremy appointment, I was contacted a few days before my scheduled appointment to reschedule since the City of Minneapolis had to turn off the water on the same block as Lotus 21's location. NO PROBLEM to reschedule since I was given my next suggested preference BUT, when I got there at my rescheduled time, my stylist was caught off-guard when I arrived. Just had to work through the initial "icky" feeling of realizing that things hadn't been prepared for my first visit. At first, I was already writing up a review in my mind of how bad this was going to be, but as soon as my stylist came to terms with how quickly the morning had already flown by and that, yes indeed, I had been rescheduled, she jumped into the game and was ready to take action. She has a winsome and delightful personality. She was sincere in her apologies about the situation. There was another woman in the salon with her hair in foils and in the middle of a coloring process, so my stylist continually said that she works well fast. While I trusted that, I was letdown since I wanted my hair to receive the full time-allotted attention. I have long hair and said that I was looking to have 2-3 inches cut off. We agreed on it being cleaned up, but she didn't check visually with me on the actual amount being cut off before or after she started clipping away. Regardless, she did do a great job on the actual cut, but in the end, I would have liked the full 3 inches rather than 2 inches. She didn't ask what I thought when she was done, because she was in a rush. She offered $15 off my next cut and gave another genuine apology. I would have been much happier with my first impression of this salon if I had been rescheduled at a time where she wasn't stressed out. I'd much rather wait another week or two so that it feels thorough and leisurely rather than to be crammed in, and feel like an inconvenience. She's clearly got the right personality, ability, and talent...she just needs to create boundaries for her work so that any given day doesn't become THE hectic one as I experienced. I'd imagine I would otherwise have given her 5-stars.

My first experience couldn't be better and I can't recommend Sarah enough. She's a genuine person who really cares that you walk out loving your hair. I actually came in a couple days later to get my hair darkened (I'm the type of person that needs to ease into change so that beautiful caramel color was a bit too bold for me for a first time) and I absolutely loved the chocolate tones she brought out. Sarah was super understanding and was able to squeeze me into her tight schedule at no extra cost. Advice: Listen to Sarah, she definitely knows what she's doing and you won't regret trusting your hair in her capable hands.

The skill of each of them is phenomenal and I always leave happy. They take my tips off while I get a pedicure so my cost is efficient and relaxing. Their prices are quite reasonable.
