I have had my fair share of nail salons over the years, and I always notice the same things: the skill of the nail tech, the cleanliness of the place, how friendly and welcoming the staff are, and how well they actually listen. Most places I have been to have had some of that. A talented tech here, a cute space there, friendly staff somewhere else. But I had never found a place that had it all. Hollywood Nails is that place. The moment I walked in, Bella the owner made me feel seen, welcomed, and warmly greeted. Like any salon they did run a little behind due to the services and high demands especially when summer is around the corner, but they communicated the whole time and made sure my daughter and I still felt like our time mattered. The space is smaller than most places I have been, but do not underestimate it. Every corner, every bit of decor, and all of the organization was thoughtfully done. You can tell the owner and her staff put care into making sure every customer, young or old, feels looked after. I had the Pearl Jelly Spa Pedicure with a nail tech named Mya. She was knowledgeable, talented, and really took the time to hear what I wanted. Even mid-pedicure, she made sure the customer near her still felt seen and cared for. My daughter had a gel manicure with Bella and absolutely loved her experience. She loved her nails, but even more she loved her time with Bella, who treated her as an equal and not just a kid who did not know what she wanted. 100% recommend this place. read more

Don't let the bad reviews fool you, Hollywood nails is the best! As of April 2024 they are under new management, so the 1 star review from years previous are not reflective of the current staff. Bella & her team are the best, kind, thoughtful and always willing to bring your ideas to life. I have been doing gel manicures every three weeks for the last six months, and have had nothing but good experiences. I came in with serious damage from some press ons and Bella has done a great job bringing my nails back to life so they are natural and healthy! She even takes these cute pics for me when a set goes extra well :) The salon is always clean, welcoming and decked out in decor for whatever season we're in. You can tell they care about giving customers a good experience. read more

Bella and her team are wonderful. I go in for a pedicure 3 or 4 times a year and my toes are thankful for it. Bella is such a kind good person. so, you know I'm a 65-year-old man and I wish more men would treat themselves to a pedicure and there's no better place than Hollywood nails. read more

I've been here twice and each experience was great. First off, the large parking lot is vey helpful and eliminates a lot of stress for me. Secondly, I have never had issues making same day appointments. My favorite nail technician is "Young"! She is an absolute doll, overly friendly, kind and has a helping soul as she told me she enjoys taking care of all the hard working humans. Young will always offer up drinks to all of her customers which is so sweet. Since the Hollywood Deluxe pedicure is $65, I usually treat myself bi-monthly and adore the full process. Feet are wrapped in plastic bags with a gentle exfoliant mold and while the feet are in the bag, a hot stone is rubbed against the calves. Like any nail salon, the comfy back massaging chairs are the cherry on top. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you, Hollywood Nails! read more

I'm glad I decided to give Hollywood Nails a try, despite some of the reviews. My entire experience was great, and I will definitely return. I called ahead to figure out if I needed an appointment for a gel manicure. The staff member I spoke to was very friendly and explained that while they accept walk-ins, she'd suggest making an appointment to avoid a longer wait time. I was able to get an appointment for the next morning, which was great. This business is located in a strip mall with plenty of lot parking. I was the first appointment of the day, and they were ready for me! My nail tech was very nice and detail-oriented. The space was clean and comfortable. My gel manicure wasn't anything fancy, but that's exactly what I wanted. It lasted almost three weeks with no chipping. read more

Bella was amazing..... best gel x nails ever !!!! 1000% would recommend this salon to anyone

Wish I had seen these reviews before I had my pedicure. This was a bad place. Very dirty. Overpriced. The operators spoke to each other constantly in their native language (which I didn't understand) and didn't pay attention to what they were doing to my toes. The procedure was very basic and didn't make my toes look any better. No polish, for instance. Cost was too high, $35 plus tip. Will not return. read more

I do not recommend this nail salon and believe that the ONLY reason they are open is due to location and the demographic surrounding that location. .. The nail techs do not wash their hands before, after, nor in-between customers; Nor do they require that customers wash their hands prior to service, like the majority of nail salons. The nail techs are rude and callous! While using the electric tool to remove the acrylic from my nails, the material was literally flying into my face and down my shirt and the tech could care less! And LASTLY, and I don't think many people have told them this, it is RUDE to speak in your native language amongst each other while you are working on clients! Undoubtedly making remarks about them! I'm know for certain because I opened up the translation app on my phone and it picked up and translated the conversations! OH and my nails??.. see picture, less than 24 hours later! I'll go to Spalon!! They don't use harmful chemicals nor tools on your nails! read more

Hollywood Nails - My nail job, 1 day later!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Sloppy work. Didn't go to my regular place because they were booked. Asked for a basic pedicure with white French tip. Cut me multiple times and two toes are bleeding. Nails were cut and filed crooked somehow which I've never experienced. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Do you seethe bubbles in my nails?? Awful and judgmental service. They have a policy that you have to pay before your service is done and now I see why. Not to mention they didn't ask everyone to pay before it was done I seen 2 other customers pay after they were done, then they turned around and asked me to pay before I received abysmal work. Oh btw it was just a color I already had a fill and it was 30 dollars. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Hollywood Nails - Terrible, bubbles in nails. Worst job ever - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I can tell that a couple of the techs are great at what they do but I was disappointed with the service. The tech who did my nails rushed through and made the gel way too thick on some nails and didn't cover my full nail bed. I had to ask her to fix them a couple of times and eventually redo them because I didn't like the way the color turned out. She didn't clean my nails up at the end. Overall, with the corrections I would say im 85 % pleased but their prices are way too high for the quality of service I received. read more

We cannot believe anything under 4 stars for this team! We won't go anywhere else and refer all our friends when they have bad experiences elsewhere. This team is talented and careful, conscious of everyone's time and as accommodating as can be. And so flexible! Highly recommend. read more

I haven't been into a "walk-in " nail salon for my manicures in a few years annnd I regret it lbs. THE OWNER did my nails. Coffin shaped which ended up being too narrow I told her from the beginning how some nails were crooked and she said it'll be fine was she applied the acrylic (which I told her I wanted dip from the start ) I told her they were ugly and I didn't like them at the end and asked if I can come in the next day to get them removed and redone by someone else. THIS LADY lol told me nobody in the salon can do better and everyone's work is the same quality because she trained them....well I told her she needs more training because she sucks and they can all do better Also, She applied it too thick to where my nails are sore. read more

Went there about two weeks ago, for a full set of nails. Looked pretty at the end, but the nail tech took two hours to do and had to have another person help. They sanded all my nail beds down so low that they got infected, and what nails I haven't managed to take off are ripping my real nails off from the nail bed. I have to take antibiotics because they got infected from that. Would never go there again. read more

I purchased a deal on Groupon and Ruby asked me twice for the redeeming code to put it through before my appointment. When I didnt give it to her she canceled my appointment and told me to go somewhere else. I put a compliment in with Groupon and of course I got a credit but wanted my money back. Ruby was very very rude and wanted to redeem my code before I even had services done . I would never go there or recommend this place . Groupon use better businesses.. What a birthday gift read more

My Girlfriend Colene needed to get her Nails done for a up coming concert she was performing at in South Dakota, so I recommended this place.

honestly, you get what you pay for. it took her an hour to do a full set of acrylics but she was nice. the quality? not so much. but it only cost me about $59 and i tipped 15% for a total of about $67. probably wouldn't go here again, there's lint and bubbles in the nails. read more

I don't recommend this nail shop and the customer service isn't good. I was a regular customer who looks for expect good customer service all the time but customer service begins to not be good because I'm a regular customer and you think I have to keep coming back. I will not return to this nail shop. It's ok for people who don't get nail care that often but not for regular returning customers. read more

This is a not recommended nail shop , nails where not smooth AT ALL , nail was to thin acrylic was on my skin really bumpy where not the same size and they said all they can do it put another clear coat on them disrespecting us in Vietnamese read more

I never get my nails done and I had a spur of the most need to get a pedicure. I called to check on getting a walk-in appointment and they got me in within 30 minutes. The man who did my feet was super friendly and did a great job with the massage. He really took his time cleaning up my nails. He made sure I was satisfied with every thing before finishing. I will definitely be back! read more

I stopped in here on a whim, since I was in the area and wanted to get my nails done before a trip. I walked right in (weekday around lunch time) and was seen immediately. The technicians were all very friendly and nice, and it was clear the other customers were regulars as they were all chatting comfortably. I got a mani pedi, and both look great!!! Linda did an excellent job ensuring they looked perfect. The only reason I gave them 5 stars is that the ambiance is dated and they don't have matching gel and regular polish color sets (what I like to use). My fingers and toes are different shades of the same color (& pretty noticeable, despite me asking to match colors). It still looks great, though, and I would definitely come back in again in the future! read more

I typically go to a nail salon closer to my house, however, I had a pretty bad experience there last time so decided to switch it up. I did some googling and landed on Hollywood Nails based off some reviews I saw on google. Although Yelp's rating for this salon aren't that great, I completely disagree. The two ladies there were both super friendly and helpful. I had a hard time choosing my nail colors and they were more than happy to paint one nail and then let me decide if I wanted to keep it or switch to my other option. They never pressured me into a service I didn't want to come in for and I am very happy with the job they did. I will definitely be back! read more

This place is mediocre at best. They totally do a shotty job and don't respect appointments times. More concerned with making money and selling you things than actually valuing their clients. Huge disappointment. read more

Great experience on a random Saturday afternoon. Watched Happy Feet while I got a nice French manicure- gel polish. She took very good care of me and my nails look and feel fab. The facility and feel of the interior are not perfection, but I was happy. read more

I will only have my nails done here, I have been going here for almost a year now. I always have a gel and always a french manicure. I always choose a color tip. It does not matter who does your nails, everyone there does a spectacular job. The gels last a month or more and the price is right. The ambience is not fancy but I go there for a great manicure. I would also recommend the pedicure too, they are fantastic. The ladies are friendly and caring. read more

i hate writing negative reviews, especially for a small business, but i definitely paid too much money for mediocre results. my toes color is uneven. she forgot to finish the design on one of my fingers. i dont even know what i paid for because they made me use venmo. no massage chairs. kind of sad i dropped that much money for a mediocre self care experience. read more

I've been seeing Kym for over 10 years, she is awesome at pedicures and brow waxing. This new staff isn't as friendly. Prices have gone up where it's not worth my drive anymore as there are so many with same prices nearby. Ruby tries to push other products on you as your headed out the door. ‍ I made an appt to have with now part time Kym and someone else did my pedi. She was rough with leg massage and gel polish didn't look as nice as when Kym does it and they now charge you extra for massage chair. I was trying to be flexible but that was awful. If I go back no leg massage. read more

This is by far, the worst nail service I have ever seen. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY or your TIME!!! Go to Le nails in Blaine its better. The nail service was DISGUSTING at Hollywood Nails. She made the nails LUMPY and CROOKED. She surpassed the actual nail and got acrylic all over my skin and made my cuticle area BLEED. That alone was NOT sanitary! I had too go back and request for a refund, seeing that horrible work just made me depressed and it was my birthday! Upon reaching the store for the refund, which we requested in compliance to their policy, the ladies began to YELL at us for not liking the service she said, and I quote, "Thats how we do it here". We finally got them to give the money back, the condition was that the lady was going to be able to cut the nails however she wanted..... Confused as to what she meant, we agreed. she then grabbed some clippers and snipped away the nails in spite, cutting them in all directions and ugly angle. It was outrageous!!!!! These two woman are soo greedy, and so rude! In addition the nail work is HORRIBLE!!!!!! DO NOT COME HERE read more

Okay. So this place is great, excellent, wonderful. My mother and I have been going there for years to get our eye browns done. I have never left dissatisfied. On one occasion I needed a polish change on my toes and ended up with a mini pedicure for $12. (feet soak, light scrub, cuticles clipped, toe nail shaped, 2 minute massage, lotion rub down and a French polish) If you're like me and don't need regular pedicures, but like to keep your feet looking presentable to the public, then try this place out. read more
