Most wonderful massage! Phet customized her technique focusing on my sore muscles. She got rid of some lingering kinks! Thank you so much. See you soon! read more

My sister and I did a lot of research prior to picking a spa to get facials. This place had good reviews so we booked 2 facials. Our appointment was 5-10 minutes late. There was no quiet pre-room lounge area. We were in a small waiting room next to the manicure station and pedicure station. We were offered snacks and water. Snacks consisted of Cheetos, pretzels and other variety of chips. It reminded me of snacks to pack in a kids lunch. While in the waiting area (small love seats) we noticed the wear and tear of pedicure stations, patched with several layers of duct tape. In the facial room I had a brief consultation with the staff. I had a hard time even finding the chair in the small room as it was so dark and the chair was black. I'm 35...I'm not usually so sensitive to darkness. During the appointment, staff took time to fill out a generic card to give to me at the end of the appointment that showed problem areas and recommendations of cleansing scheduling etc. this could have been done after my appointment while I was getting redressed since my appointment was already late and the session ended early as well. Overall for the price of the day, the salon, vibe and quality service didn't match up. It seemed more like a mid-quality salon than an upscale place they are marketing. It's a very small space, so any extra people make it very crowded. I would not recommend a party more than 2. read more

I had a great massage with Delayne today. Booking was very easy online, and I was pleasantly surprised to see they had openings even the next day. I also appreciated that Delayne was ready for me, even though I was about 10 minutes early, and she really tailored the massage to exactly what I needed after cranking my shoulder a week ago. It's great to have a solid place right in downtown that you don't have to book out 2 months in advance--so I'll definitely be back. read more

We booked a spa party package at Lontis Spa in Minneapolis. The process of getting things reserved and making sure there would be an esthetician for everyone to get the services they wanted was time-consuming, but the experience did prove to be relaxing. While there we received treatments from SJ who made sure to ask questions and see what we were looking for from the service and overall experience. For me, the most relaxing part of the facial came from the shoulder, arm, and hand massage. Tamesha did a great job on the other two facials. She was a little talkative which some people love and others may not, but she did great at explaining what she was doing and providing suggestions. The guests were happy she was able to remove their stubborn blackheads. Ashley was one of the people who completed a foot massage. She did a decent job, but when more pressure was asked to be used it was not applied. The overall massage was somewhat relaxing but was too light and did not achieve the desired effect. Lindsay and Phet completed the other foot massages and both did an amazing job. The biggest issue with the foot massages is that they were not in rooms. They were across from the waiting room and other guests were getting pedicures in the same area. The area was too open and loud to be fully relaxed. Amanda completed a body massage and her hands were exactly what was needed. She applied the perfect amount of pressure and had her guest ready for bed. All the guests from the spa party received a gift bag which was a bonus to the services. Overall the experience was nice. The company plans to move to a new space and hopefully, it will be bigger and provide a more intimate experience read more

My friends and I were visiting Minneapolis and decided to get massages here. We all love our massages and have several a year. This place was awesome! Delayne was my masseuse and she was phenomenal. I felt great after! read more

When i booked my appointment in advance i gave Lontis my credit card number to reserve my appointment. Then i was called the day before my appointment and was asked to pay for my appointment before ever going in. I asked why i was expected to pay for my appointment before being seen and I was told it's better for their staff? Very sketchy stuff canceled my appointment. I hope in this huge city I can find another day spa. read more

We were there on time, but we had to wait more than 15 minutes to get into our room, however the massage stopped right at the 90 minute mark from the reservation, not the start of the massage (and of course got charged for a 90 minute massage). At the end they were showing us our way out to accommodate the next people. My masseuse also had sharp nails and would occasionally dig them into my skin, I woke up with bruises on my legs. I said I wanted extra pressure on my back and shoulders and instead of kneading she squeezed them which I have never had done before and I woke up more sore the next day. Disappointing experience overall. read more

Took a chance on this place due to all the great reviews and it did not disappoint! One of the best massages, and foot reflexologies I've ever had! Highly recommend and will return! Even though it was downtown, it was easy to park in ramp and get to! Just make sure you have the ramp address in your GPS and not the spa's address! read more

I was visiting Minneapolis and wanted to treat myself while the husband was working. I was super concerned because I didn't make this decision until a few days prior to when I wanted to do a package experience. They had availability!! Communication was done through email and everything that I requested was booked and completed in the time frame! Jason did my full body and foot messages and it was perfect!! Just the right amount of pressure and was always checking to make sure I was comfortable!! I had never had a body wrap done and Erica was great at asking and explaining the whole situation before starting! The conversation flowed during that process! Nicole did my facial and was so gentle! She explained everything that was going to happen and what she was doing before and after! The rest of the staff was so friendly and constantly kept checking to make sure I got everything I needed! Great experience! Will book again if I'm ever back in town! read more

Amazing experience. Staff is exceptional. Marcus was very professional and helpful. He did an incredible massage and made me feel very comfortable given that it was my first time. Highly recommend this place! read more

What a great little spa in the middle of downtown Minneapolis! Located on the 2nd floor, we were warmly greeted as soon as we entered. After being offered water & snacks, we treated our feet to pedicures while chatting & laughing with the stylists. The salon itself is small, but is full service. Would highly recommend! read more

Best massage I've ever had with Phet. I asked her to work a specific area and it was magical. She customized to the area and it was magical. Also was very communicative on pressure. Hot rocks, towels and back exfoliation were included. read more

Ruth was excellent and the massage was JUST what I needed. Thank you! I wish I lived in Minneapolis so I could come see Ruth again. Hopefully I will visit again soon! read more

Everything you need in a facial! I went in for their signature facial and my individual needs were addressed and my skin was flushed and clear when I finished. Even my husband noticed! The only reason for the 4/5 stars was that the place was a little tricky to find (tho not impossible) and no one else seemed to be there when I was, which is always a bit strange since they said they only had one appt available that afternoon. Regardless, I go again and again! read more

My husband booked a couples massage for us here. Marcus and Phet were great! They listened to our wants/needs and went above and beyond! The location was a little tricky to find as it's within another building but we gave ourselves extra time to spare. Over great experience and would go back again! read more

I have long, thick Asian hair and I'm so glad I went to this salon! My hair hasn't been maintained for about a year and it was getting gross. I called in for a hair appointment and got in the same day with the owner of the salon. For only $55 I got a shampoo and cut. She cut about 5 inches off and added lots of layers in my hair! Even my husband noticed it! I will come back again! I gave it 4 out of 5 stars only because it's a little tricky place to find unless you know your way on the skyway. read more

Lontis Day Spa & Salon - Layers! - Hair Salons Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

We had an amazing day. I enjoyed becoming a part of the Lontis family. The ladies there really feel like they are a family and they welcomed us into their family. Fortunate enough to work with Amanda, Ally, and Karin primarily as well as Lindsey. We shared laughs, we shared stories, we shared relaxation. It was an amazing day. Great technicians, good lunch too. Thank you for everything. read more

This review is specifically for nails. For an establishment that is great in every other way they need to train their nail technicians better. The young girl that works there is very sweet, but does not know how to do a gel manicure. This is the 2nd time I went to her as I figured the first time could of been an off day. In the end she gave me 10% off which was very nice, but honestly I shouldn't of paid for this. There wasn't water to put my hands in, the shaping of the nails was minimal and wasn't done well, and she applied multiple layers of polish when she messed up causing it to crease and pucker at the edges. She tried to clean up her mistakes, but only made it worse. Again, she is very nice but this is not a $40 manicure. This is a manicure I would do myself at home. read more

Overall a mediocre experience. I got a prenatal massage and it was probably the worse professional massage I've had. It didn't seem like the masseuse knew what she was doing. A lot of rubbing up and down and all over without any focus on the muscles and working out tension in my body. I also didn't like the sugar scrub, which I didn't expect, and it was pretty uncomfortable. Then I had sugar on my back all day until I got home and showered. Overpriced for what you get, in my opinion. read more

Don't be fooled by the website- I went with a couple girls and we picked the 'package A 'At $110 per person.' It ended up being $134/pp and I specially was conned into an extra service without knowing it- so beware- I was asked if I wanted oil for a deep tissue massage so I said yes thinking it was just included in my package. Nope. It wasn't. I was unknowingly upsold on the package I was told would be $110- which actually wasn't- bc we booked on a Sunday added a fee of $20 to each person. Plus my 'deep tissue' treatment which was nothing more than a eucalyptus oil at $150. Anyway nothing was what it should have been. It would have been no stars for the trickery but the massage and facial were actually ok. But I don't like being tricked when they know I was sold a package initially. read more

Love the place. It's kinda of expensive, but it's worth it. Great service. I went to wax my eyebrows and they look perfect.

I received a manicure with shellac polish today. Typically I go to a nail spa back at home and I pay $55 for a shellac manicure and they even rub your neck and shoulders while your paraffin sets. I was visiting and Lantis was in my hotel so I knew by there webpage that their manicure was $75 dollars with shellac. I was in need so I sucked it up and went. Maybe since it was a "spa" the experience would be better (that was my thought process). The girl that did my manicure was very sweet and gave a great hand massage. The color I originally chose didn't have enough in the bottle to use. I noticed this was Also the case with the clear pre polish. My manicure was scheduled at 5 and I didn't get out till almost 7. The atmosphere was not relaxing. There was relaxing music in the background but from the moment I sat down there was an interview in progress at the front. I learned a lot during the 1.5 hour job interview but I wish I didn't have to listen to it. I don't understand the big spa upcharge when the manicure didn't feel extravagant. read more

Have gotten services twice at this place and have been very pleased. Great facials and massage. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a bit tricky to get to if you aren't super familiar with downtown but the space is nice once you get there. read more

If I worked nearby, I would be here all the time for their Happy Hour specials. Here's what you need to know about this great deal: - from 2-6 every Monday through Friday - dscounts on all types of services (brow waxes, massage, manicures, pedicures) - online booking isn't immediate confirmation of an appointment - super nice staff - nothing fancy as far as atmosphere goes read more

My friend and I booked a girls weekend downtown and wanted to start the afternoon off with some manicures. The staff was so welcoming and friendly and very professional. We were offered some water and snacks while we waited for our technicians. Though we had planned to have our nails done at the same time, one of the technicians was held up by another client (which happens, no big deal) so I had to wait a bit, but it was we were still finished at relatively the same time. I wish I could remember the name of the girl that did my nails but she was so knowledgeable about the polish line and the colors and the colors compared to other nail color lines. She did a fabulous job on my nails and the polish lasted over two weeks and still looked great. (this is with a gel manicure) I would definitely recommend this spot to other people and will be back when I want to spend an afternoon downtown. read more

The massage was great but the atmosphere was not. It was extremely noisy. I was offered headphones to help drown out the noise. It wasn't anyone's fault just poorly designed. The room for massage is basically just partitioned off from the salon so you heard every conversation and hair dryer. I felt bad for my therapist working in such a tiny space. She barely had room to walk around the table. She did give a great massage and I loved the use of stones and a salt back scrub at the end. Still, not worth the price due to atmosphere. read more

Excellent nail service from Tim! He does a wonderful job of cleaning and painting my nails, with ease and care. He's a great conversationalist if you're the chatty type like myself but he's also considerate if you want some quiet me time. The spa is so welcoming! They greeted my friend and I with a smile and checked is in. We were asked if we wanted water or tea and received cucumber infused water. Loved the hospitality! Overall, I would recommend coming here to get your nails done! They're very friendly. Also I totally am not familiar with the skyway so make sure you go towards Macy when you're on the second floor of the 811 LaSalle building. It's right across from Andrea pizza. read more

I was in town for an event and booked a clearing facial and shellac mani-pedi. My experience was fantastic from all aspects- beginning to end. Everyone is as so friendly and welcoming. The staff took their time. I was able to relax and my skin looks great. My aesthetician educated me on my skin type and things I could do for my skin after the facial, which was a bonus. My nails were perfect and they took time to do the design I wanted! If I am back in Minneapolis I would definitely come back! Very happy with my overall time at Lontis and my care felt individualized. (And thank you for the donut- my bump thanks you!). read more

I went to Lontis for a pedicure. Pros: * Friendly staff * Calm, quiet, relaxing space Cons: * Mediocre pedicure (C) * Expensive compared to other spas read more

My fiance and I treated ourselves to a couple's massage and express facials at Lontis. The staff was extremely friendly and had no problem fitting us in, even with short notice. The appointment confirmation call ahead of time was actually a nice touch which we appreciated. Lontis was very clean and quite and the massage room was private. Our massage therapists were very talented and friendly. I would highly recommend Lontis for any day spa services! read more

I've come here twice in the last two weeks. The first time, my girlfriends were coming to town and I wanted to do something special with them. I found Lontis online and saw they did small parties. So I called and booked pedicures and facials for three. When we got there, we felt instantly pampered when they had robes and slippers for us to change into. The pedicures were done by Lindsey and Jenessa. They both did amazing jobs. Our facials were done by Tamisha who did a wonderful job as well. The second time was for a hair cut. Lindsey told me previously she specialized in thin and thinning hair. I have very fine hair and struggle with finding the right style for it. Lindsey cut off my damaged and scraggly ends and gave me a fabulous angled bob that I'm in love with! She even took some pictures for me to send to friends! I will definitely be returning to Lontis for all my future hair and pampering needs! read more

I went here with my sisters and mom to celebrate my mom's retirement. We all had massages and pedicures. The massage was amazing and they organized it so that we would all get pedicures at the same time together and even let us bring in a bottle of wine to celebrate. Excellent services and friendly staff. I would definitely go back. read more

I was in town and they happily accommodated me for a facial at the last minute - it was easy to find and a nicely decorated and relaxing place.. Amber gave me a wonderful facial and everyone was pleasant .. reasonable price for the level of service, would go back in a heartbeat! read more

I booked a detoxify spa package at Lontis on recommendation from my hotel, and I'm so glad that I did!

Would highly recommend. read more

Very nice staff and the ambiance of the salon was very relaxing. Will definitely be back for a spa day!

This spa is amazing! Staff is so nice. Easy to schedule an appointment, It's a bit pricy but definitely worth it! Definitely recommend visiting read more

This salon/spa is a gem in the busy downtown skyway! I needed a gel mani while working downtown and called Lontis based upon their great reviews. What a major score for me! The friendly receptionist scheduled me during my lunch break and gave me very detailed instructions on finding the spa in the skyway. I was treated like an MVP from the minute I walked in by the receptionist and by Lindsey, my wonderful manicurist. The space is spotlessly clean and stylishly appointed with relaxing spa music, herbal teas etc...My mani is flawless AND ended with the most wonderful hand massage! I cant wait to come back again soon! read more
