I can't say enough great things about Madison! She always does an amazing job on my hair--every time I leave, I absolutely love it and constantly get compliments. She really listens to what I want and somehow makes it even better than I imagined. On top of her talent, she is so bubbly, sweet, and easy to talk to, which makes every appointment such a great experience. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for beautiful results and a fun, welcoming vibe! read more

Envy Nail Salon - Consistently leave with paint all over my hands - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've been here a few times and it's a solid nail salon for the most part. I came today and had made an appt and for some reason they were really really busy and I felt like my pedicure was totally rushed because of it. I didn't feel relaxed at all.. i actually was super stressed because of how fast she was moving and actually had a few painful moments because of it. The appt had been set for 330 and i didn't get seen till almost 350. Just not ideal and made me not want to come back at all. read more

Unfortunately I do not recommend at all for gel. They charge $44 and my manicure started lifting within days. Did everything I could to preserve it and literally by week 3 the gel just lifted off if it got caught in something as small as a hair strand. Usually when I pay $40 for a gel manicure, I expect it to last 3 weeks then start chipping. This manicure started chipping 3 days after getting it and the guy applied like 5 coats. I should've known and said something before paying but instead will just not go back. read more

I have been going here for years and been recommending Envy to my family and friends without hesitation . I really have never been unhappy after a mani or pedi. I can walk in and usually be seen right away but I don't expect it. Loan is A+ but all are very good. read more

I've giving this shop a chance a few times. I normally get a manicure which the shaping and polish job is normally not good. I had an event and they are close by my house and it being last minute I went in to get a full set with acrylics. I'm so disappointed. Not only did the lady go back and forth with me after I told her I didn't like them. She said the nails pointed upward because the shape of my nails. I've been getting my nails done since a teenage and have never had my nails look like that. She told me her daughter would be an expert at nails as me. I know my nails and I know how they normally turn out. I will not be back. For $75 it was not worth it. read more

Checked out Envy Nails for the first time this week. They were very busy the day I went, but they seemed to handle it well. Soft music was in the back ground and not overly loud. The woman I had did a great job on my nails and cuticles. Wish she would have gotten the paint down a little further towards my nail bed as it looks slightly grown out already! read more

I've been going to Trang at Envy Nails for years. My last dip manicure was peeling after a couple of days, the polish started to peel I called and said I would l Iike it re-done. I was told they wouldn't do it because it had been over a week. In fact, it was only 3 days and since I paid cash, I had no recourse. After years of going there. I was appalled at their response read more

Updating my review to 5 stars! I have been loyal to envy nails for a few years now, and I'd recommend you make the switch if you haven't already. They always make sure your nails are perfect, and they always last SO long. When I visited other salons in the past, after about 2 weeks my nails would start chipping or fall off, but at envy that NEVER happens. At other salons I often leave with my fingers aching or even bleeding, but that NEVER happens here. Envy nails is always very well staffed and can take walk ins most days. Their pedicures are also relaxing and effective. The polish never chips and I can go a long time in between pedicures. read more

I really wanted this to be my new go-to nail salon because my last gel manicure from here lasted 3 weeks without major chipping (however the sides still lifted some), but after my last experience I will not be returning. It seemed like they were more concerned with getting as many people through as fast as possible rather than focusing on providing a quality service. I had to wait 30 min after my scheduled appointment time before I was seen and then my manicure was one of the fasted I've ever received. This resulted in a major cut to my cuticle that was quite painful and bled for a while after leaving the salon. While my nails still look nice, it is not worth the poor customer experience. read more

I went in there yesterday to make an appointment so that made me feel like it must have a good reputation based on the quantity of clients. But maybe it was just the cold weather and the coming sprint that sent people to an indoor activity. When I went back today it was almost empty. You would think at least it won't be a rushed service and the end product would be good. Sadly this is not the case! The color is inconsistent, the polish application is inconsistent. This is after I pointed out areas that already needed to be fixed. I've already pealed off the polish that was left on my skin and the back of my nails. I'm really confused... also one hand has pointier nails than the other.... I don't know if 3 stars is too many... read more

Terrible end result. No refund despite being showed pictures. Cut my daughters toes in several places, would not concede fault: said they refused to do it, but daughter insisted? Not happy with them AT ALL. The other person with them had a manicure and she was also bleeding. The manager was not willing to work with me on a refund, poked fun of my daughters medical condition, and was generally almost combative on the phone. I was - to be fair- extremely upset when I saw her $67 pedicure (!!!!!) and all the cuts she has, but he was quite unpleasant back to me. One star because I can't give less. Comment from the business is causing me to clarify that my daughter DOES NOT HAVE A FUNGUS. She has a genetic condition called Ectodermal Dysplasia. This was explained to them. This poor kid just wanted a pedicure to somewhat disguise her condition, and not only is there a lack of understanding but she now has several cuts on her feet too. My husband has the same condition, as does my mother in law. We will not be returning. read more

Perfect shape and got a full set done in less than an hour. They also helped me pick out a good color

I've been searching for a local nail salon like Envy for years - I live in Richfield and have tried all the local spots and none of them were worth returning to (in my experience). Envy is ran efficiently and they always do a fantastic job. I have been going to Envy monthly for mani/pedi and have never been disappointed. I came for my wedding nails - a little last minute - at 6:30pm on a Tuesday and they looked phenomenal. The manicurist did the design (pictured) on dip nails based on a photo I provided, and stayed past closing to ensure they were perfect. And they were. I highly recommend this spot for a quick mani, pedicures, and dip nails. Bonus: it's next to a Whole Foods, two great restaurants, Starbucks, and Home Goods. Go have a girl's night and treat yo self. read more

This is my go to nail salon. They do a great job every time. I usually only get a gel manicure so I have not tried anything else. Every employee there I trust and my nails have turned out beautiful every time. I have run into only one issue. I'm not sure who I was working with but she was insisting I get fake nails due to my nails being too short. I'm not really sure if it was the difficulty of working with shorter nails and doing a gel manicure, or if it was based on aesthetics. We sat there arguing for a minute or so until I gave in. It was really upsetting actually. Fortunately, I've never had any issues since. No one else has ever told me I need fake nails and all my other experiences have been great so I continue to come here. Love the environment, colors and them! read more

I love consistency and Envy Nail Salon is consistent. 6 years later and it's still my go-to nail salon! They've done a good job adjusting their operations to follow COVID safety protocols while still providing great service and beautiful nails!

Their nail techs are super talented and I would highly recommend checking them out the next time your nails need some love. read more

Envy Nail Salon - French "V" tip gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Love the dip nail only here.This is the only place that knows how to do it well. I am very tough on my nails since I cook often! I never did my nails before and they were always short due to the fact that they are too brittle and none of them end up being same length. Dip nail changed it! They keep long and lacquered for a good 2 weeks. So much better tan gel! Gel gets extremely tough on the nails once they start peeling with a layer of your nails. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes! Quite a long process; although, totally worth it! The only thing I didn't like is my pedicure. I got regular polish, didn't wear shoes till the next day and still got messed up since it didn't dry through. read more

Envy Nail Salon - Red coffin dip nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

One of the clerks, who did my nails, purposefully cut my cuticles (making 1-2 bleed) and then laughed about it with her colleagues in a language I could not understand. She was condescending toward me the entire time. I am kind & respectful, but she did not like me for whatever reason. I'm a Minnesotan, and a blondey? A walk in? Also, this place was dirty, nail clippings, old towels being reused (?), quite unkempt and all sorts of strange powders, liquids and chemicals. Certainly not natural in the least. Lady was all over the place, and purposefully being dirty, it seemed to me. I'm sure she would not act like that in her own hometown. I get it, it's a nail salon, but they have a duty to keep waste and dangers out of our waterways and landfills, and away from Minnesotan folk. DO BETTER. My nails ended up looking real nice though (& albeit most of the staff is kind & civil) read more

I contemplated whether or not to share who worked on my nails, because she'll be booked more often so I'd have to wait longer for availability. But honestly she's always booked. I think she's the most popular person there and there's a reason for it. Thank you, Mary Chi! I seriously loved the results of my dipped nails. She's quick, but does it well. As always suggest you pay in cash for a discount. read more

Envy Nail Salon - Dipped Light Pink - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm posting this review after the second time I've been back here in a week. The first time, to get chrome gel/dip nails, and the second time, to get them fixed. The first time, the woman who did my nails (Mary) completely rushed through the whole thing, and did a really shoddy job. I left with black powder all over my fingers, which she said would "come off after a few washes." Okay; fine. I thought they were supposed to remove that stuff so you didn't leave looking like the job was half-done. Cut to two days later and I start to notice that the chrome glitter on the tips of my nails is chipping off, which should not happen had the gel nails been done correctly the first time (see first pic). Chrome nails are expensive! I decide to go back. I go back the next day and have them redo my nails, this time by a different person whose name I did not catch. She does an arguably worse job. The chrome glitter is inconsistent, some of my nails are clumpy (see second and third pics), and I again have glitter/polish all over my cuticles/fingers (see fourth pic). I show her my nails and she says it's fine... it's not fine, but I'm tired. For what it's worth, while I was there the second time briefly waiting to get my nails redone, at least two people came in to get their nails fixed. I also overheard another nail tech telling a different customer--like I too was told--"don't worry" about the polish on the cuticles; "it'll wash off in a couple washes." I don't want to make too much of this because yes, it does wash off in a couple washes, but most nail salons will usually clean it for you so you can leave with your nails looking really nice and photographable. On a positive note, I really do appreciate all of the precautions they have taken to protect both customers and workers during COVID-19. There are glass barriers at everyone's stations, everyone is required to wear masks, and they are diligent about checking everyone's temperature. That would be the only reason I'd recommend going here. read more

I THOUGHT I found my nail haven. My coworker came in with a really beautiful set and as soon as I saw it I booked an appointment with her nail lady. I even went in day earlier then I scheduled (as requested by the nail tech) because I was so excited. My first set wasn't exactly like I asked for/showed her the picture of, but I was happily surprised that this was the first nail salon in MN since I moved from NY that used gold foil. It was 30 minutes from my house and I paid $90 for the set (I really love having my nails done so I didn't mind the cost) with in a week my right thumb nail popped off. I didn't want to drive so I bought nail glue and attempted to glue it back on. It wouldn't stay due to the type of acrylic they use. Within the next week my middle finger nail also broke off. I went to get a "refill" and was charged extra for the 2 nails that came off and 3 nails she chose to take off. I paid $66. I asked her to keep the length (she didn't and they also upcharge for longer lengths and coffin shapes) and I ended up with completely different shapes nails and a crooked thumb. Today, (I had my refill done 04/06) my index finger name snapped off by itself. I will never return to this nail salon. I sent them a Facebook message the 6th to not post this bad review but that has gone unanswered. Beware of spending your hard earned money here. They are too expensive and use cheap acrylic upcharge you for simple things and don't shape the nails correctly. read more

I highly recommend this salon. I am a flight attendant and crack open bottles all the time, so my nails are prone to breaking. It has been a month and my nails are still in tact. I told the manicurist that I was a flight attendant and she knew exactly how to do my nails. It is that kind of salon you want to go, where they tailor your work to ensure your nails look and STAY beautiful in whatever you do! I had Erica! Go there ladies read more

Envy Nail Salon - My nails still in tact a month later! Thank you Erica - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My service was rushed and incomplete pedicure. The nail technician did not throughly take out the cuticle and half faced painting. Also, the scrub material she used made my skin itchy and irritated. I was very disappointed and would not recommend this spot. Update: two days later - Nail polish chipped. I called the place and complained about this incomplete job. I requested a refund and the manager said she was sitting next to my nail technician and saw everything. I responded then you probably she saw how fast she did my nails. I showed her my nails when I left and present. She saw my nails and offered to repaint them. Are you kidding? It's not about the paint, it's the whole process. I showed her the cuticle is still there, nails are long, and more. I declined any further services. They note in their policy no refund. I have been to many nail places and not once have I had a nail place do an incomplete job. Save your money! read more

Was looking for a different place to just get a new feel for what colors are available at different places. Had them take off my acrylic gel set from my go-to salon. Alittle rough on my cuticles & sides of nails when shaping my natural nails. Started bleeding on both area on 2 different fingers. Thought it was odd they didn't do anything special but throw it back in the drawer the nail tech station was at, knowing they had used the rag on my blooding cuticles & sides of nails. Overall, great service, listened well when I had a concern with my nail shape. Needs to add tip line for credit/debit card usage so I can tip if u forget cash! read more

She always does a wonderful job shaping my nails how I like it and makes sure I like the end result. read more

I've been getting my nails done at envy for over three years and I highly recommend. I do their dip manicure (which I think it's hard to find a place who does a quality one) and they do an excellent job. They make sure the dip is thin so it never looks bubbly and that the color matches what your expectations were. I have had a few instances where I didn't love the color after the first nail and they let me change it right away. They always shape my nails super well. I often do a pedicure and highly recommend doing the upgraded pedicure from the standard - you truly get what you pay for. They do encourage cash tip which is the one thing I never have, but they are pretty insistent on it - just an FYI because they will ask / let you know they prefer one. read more

I have been here three times now and had different experiences each time. 1. We just moved to the area and heard really good things about this place so I thought I would give it a try. I forgot who did my nails, but they completely rushed it, and made several of my fingers bleed from pressing down too hard. It was painful and I feel like they were trying to get through everyone as quickly as they can. Not the best experience. 2. I thought I would give them another try, and it went a lot better than the first time. Minh is amazing and she was so friendly and accommodating to my wants! She was gentle, helpful, and precise with my nails! I was super pleased. 3. Today, I went back to get my nails fixed because I had a chip and a few cracks. It wasn't the best. When I wanted to get my nails fixed, they were kind of rude about it. I decided to take them off and get dip again. However, like the first time, it felt rushed, half-assed and got some cuts/rips on my cuticles again. I really want to like this place and be a loyal customer, but so far, it hasn't been the best experience. Not sure if I will need to find another spot or just continue to get my nails done here. read more

Envy Nail Salon - Fresh dip nails done by Erika - Nail Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The pedicure was done in a mediocre way. I could've done the same quality myself at home. My toes were still dry looking and they didn't buff the bottom of my feet at all, which most places I've gone to, that's just standard procedure. The gel French manicure turned out decent. I treated and paid for a friend of mine to get a mani/pedi and they tried charging her for gel polish on both hands and feet, when she only had regular polish on both. They acted in an immature way when I proceeded to tip them less based on the quality of work (I'm usually an amazing tipper). They spent the whole time chatting to each other in their native language, which is usually fine as long as they're still providing good and friendly customer service. But they didn't really talk to my friend and I the whole time we were there. I'll be going elsewhere in the future. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I absolutely would. I came in for a nude acrylic full set/basic pedicure combo and left in tears. The guy that did my pedicure seemed polite, but didn't really speak to me. Though I added callus removal to my service, there was 0 effort put into that or the pedicure. There's still a lot of thin, dry skin on my foot as well as my toes (he never buffed them). There's also a line of demarcation along my toes from my previous gel pedi that's visible through the new polish--he never buffed my nail beds either. I could let the bad pedicure go--the real problem was with the acrylic set. The nail tech assigned to me seemed to be in a rush and was rude. She placed most of the nails tips on crooked. When I mentioned that, she snapped at me and told me it didn't matter since I was getting an almond shape. I was skeptical, but let her continue because I had an important event the following day. Next, she shortened the tips, but didn't compare the lengths to make sure both hands were even. Again, I was skeptical but kept going. After cutting the tips, she stopped working on my nails to push a pink and white ombre up-service on me. I wanted a nude pink gel, but she was insistent and didn't start working on my nails again until I agreed to the up-charge. Next, rather than shape the tips, she immediately began applying the acrylic powder. Keep in mind the tips are crooked and she hasn't checked length for evenness. She assured me that she'd shape my nails after and was annoyed that I asked about it. The acrylic powder application was uneven and splotchy. She rolled her eyes at me when I pointed out that a third of my nail bed was still visible on the nail she just "finished" applying the powder to. Next, she started to shape my nails, but it was very evident right away that they were crooked. I'm talking throwing up gang signs crooked. Adjacent nails pointing in opposite sides crooked. Again, I politely drew her attention to the issue and she told me I was wrong and that I needed to look at them from her perspective... um? She finished shaping one hand and started on the other--just as crooked. Every time I said something, and always politely, she would get annoyed, roll her eyes, and talk crap about me to the other nail techs in the shop. At this point I couldn't bear to watch her work, so I stared at the floor and hoped for the best. I was almost 6pm and I wouldn't be able to get an appointment anywhere else before my event the following morning. She finally noticed how upset I was at her work so far and started trying to correct the crooked nails, but each crooked nail is so uneven on the sides that they really couldn't be salvaged. The result of her "corrections" was a loss of length and shape--it looked like a kid's first try at acrylic application. She asked me if I liked them and I told her dejectedly, "Honestly, no. This is far from what I wanted" I wish I would have taken a picture at this point. Eventually she called over her manager to help fix my nails, but the manager tried to deny that they were crooked. I showed her each nail and pointed out that the slope on the sides of the tip were wildly different, resulting in the nail "leaning" severely to one side. I even involved another customer who also agreed that the nails were badly shaped. The manager finally relented and start filing, but my nails began looking worse and worse. When she was satisfied, she asked me if I liked them, and again I said no. At this point, some nails were so short that you couldn't even tell that a tip had been applied. There were short nails adjacent to long nails and some were so misshapen that it would be a stretch to call it "almond." The manager then said that if I wanted, the original tech could remove the nails and I could leave. I was left speechless and just kind of stared at her bewildered. The manager kept repeating "we'll take it off and you can leave." She goes on to say that the woman who did my nails was the best in their shop and if I didn't like it, there was nothing they could do for me. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I started crying. I didn't understand how I was expected to be happy or why it was so inconvenient for me to say that the work didn't look good. The manager then callously offered $10 off and looked at me like I had overstayed my welcome. Another tech offered to do my full set over. It turns out she meant buffing off some of the bad acrylic, build tips with the powder instead of applying new tips, add gel, and call it a day. I thanked her for her kindness and making them presentable. At the register they tried to charge me full price, including services for the "fix." After explaining what happened, they discounted all of $10 and I ended up paying $85 for the experience. I'm never coming back here. I don't know if being the only darkskinned black woman had anything to do with it, but everyone else there received great service and results. read more

I would never intentionally ever make a mockery or maliciously insult one's religion. I have visited this saloon several times over the last several years. crunched for time today, I stopped for a basic no frills pedicure, no complaints. walking to the register, my shoes in one hand, digging through my purse for my credit card, I set my shoes on a wooden crate by the register as I searched for my card. The woman who did my pedicure saw me do this, said nothing. Another employee, came over, picked up my shoes, and threw them on the floor barking, "this is for Buddha!" There was nothing on it, in it, no artwork or explanation indicating it had religious significance. Had I known, I most certainly would not have done this. I apologized, paid and left. I will not go back. Tolerance swings both ways. And clearly this woman missed an opportunity to educate my politely. Instead, she yelled at me. It was on honest mistake on my part, but as a paying costumer, you insulted me and my property too. I will be finding a new nail salon. read more

I really want to like this place and I really wanted to support a local business. I've stopped by 2 times. The first time the nail tech was speedy and she cut my finger with her filer. I figured she must've had an off day, and I didn't feel the cut until I got home. I shook it off. Today, I gave the place a second chance. Same thing and same poor tendency of "get it done" vs. prioritize customer service. Shannon rushed and she cut 2 fingers, doing the same shitty filing technique. I felt the cut right away and motioned away. I'm fed up: The place is dirty, needs a good face lift, and the nail techs are careless and do a mediocre job. See my cuts in the photos. read more
