Rosie is AWESOME. I love her I always go to her. She is always friendly and happy and does great work. Everyone there is nice and they do a nice job with walk ins and same day appointments. It can get busy though! I got a french tip set. I will go back to see Rosie. It is on Selby so if you don't live nearby leave early for parking. read more

Hannah does a fantastic job. It's a very accommodating salon. They do their best to get you in on short notice.

I got my nails done for Christmas by Mary, the owner. She was so sweet and kind and told me about my Vietnamese astrological sign! My nails lasted for three full weeks, and I'll definitely be back. All the ladies at this location are just the kindest and sweetest. read more

Went in for a pedicure with no polish.... Probably one of the worst pedicures I've ever had. I would not come back to this place. read more

They took me as a walk-in and did a good job. A gel pedicure was $50 total. I felt like my nail technician rushed me in choosing a color, but she was very sweet and did a good job. She cut my nails exactly as I asked. If you go here, be aware that the parking sucks. There's no designated parking lot, only street parking that is pretty full. read more

Kelly is a lifesaver! Didn't love my nails after my 1st visit so she squeezed me in and fixed them right up. She really turned my whole experience around and did an excellent job! Quick service and decent prices for the salon. read more

Fantastic nail art! My daughter brought in a picture and they were able to recreate it.

I work with infants and my natural nails are very thin and sharp. Excessive hand washing also makes my nails and hands really dry and brittle. Mary always does an amazing job- if you need round tip nails GO TO HER. She always gets the shape perfect and takes her time to even them out. She gets this all done in less than forty minutes. These nails can last you over a month if needed- I grind hard with these nails and they survive immaculately. Every lady here also does a great pedicure- such a good job I only need a pedicure once every three months and my feet look like a babies. read more

I went to this salon 3 weeks ago. My artist wasn't able to do a very simple design and had to change it up. At the time i was fine with it. I noticed after i left that there was a hair stuck in the acrylic. Again, I was really annoyed but I moved on. After a week with my nails, one of them broke because i threw a ball. Then another one broke off because i closed my trunk. I just lost the third one today while picking up a box. I have had nails before and know how to do all of these activities with longer nails. They were not done well and are so weak. I will never go here again and I do not recommend you do either. read more

I stopped by this nail salon on a weekday for a dip manicure and was pleasantly surprised! Although the salon itself is not the most beautiful or soa-like atmosphere, the manicure is perfect. The color selections were great, the price very reasonable, and everything felt safe and clean. read more

My full set of gel acrylics were perfect and also affordable in my opinion. The staff is kind and takes their time. They are also up to date on current nail trends. read more

I was really excited to find a highly rated nail salon within walking distance of my home. Unfortunately it was a pretty awful experience. She pulled the tools out of some tackle box she was carrying with her between clients so I'm not convinced the tools are properly cleaned as I did not see a cleaning station nor barbicide anywhere. This especially became a big concern when the technician cut my cuticle enough that I was bleeding and she didn't try to disinfect or anything. I asked her to put alcohol or something on the cut and she just looked at me confused until one of her colleagues had to step in and explain to her. And sure enough at the end of my appointment she just put the tools she used on me back in her box. I reminded her she had to clean them before the next client but she once again looked at me confused and as I checked out she went straight to the next client with her same box of tools. I told the client to make sure the tech got new tools since I bled on those but it's wild to me I even had to do that. Will not be returning. read more

Really solid price and the few times I've gone the pedicure has lasted so long!! It's not a super fancy or luxury place, so if you're looking for the full pampering experience, this may not be the choice, but the work is quality for a great price. read more

Just relocated to this wonderful state and needed a nail technician fast! Read the reviews, saw the pictures and I was there right at opening! Everybody was cool, it was highly effienct and I was in and out less than an hour for a fill and gel color! They are polite and sassy and get straight to the point, which I love! I plan on coming back as a repeater Thank you! read more

The ladies are so nice! Clean! Quick! And good choice of colors. I appreciate the ladies getting me in last minute

Mary is very good at doing nails. She welcomed me on a Saturday afternoon and recommended something that I didn't go in for. I am beyond happy with her recommendation. She was very precise and doesn't nickel and dime you if your cuticles need to be cut. I also got a pedicure which I don't get very often. It tickles a bit lol. Overall, very happy with the service here and I will be back. I have been looking for a great nail salon and I finally found it read more

Merriam Park Nails - Neutral marble with glitter - Nail Salons Near Me - St. Paul, Minnesota

I requested Kelly because she's done my nails a few times and usually has outstanding, perfect work. This time I wanted a more simple set, and I thought it'd be cheaper. I asked for coffin shape but got a few coffins and mostly square shapes. No big deal, but I noticed there's 2 bumps on my nails. The work was messy and the set was 70$ with no tip. Not sure if I'll come back :( read more

Kelly is my nail tech and she is the best. She can do your nails any design that you want. And she also adds a little twist to it, which I love that. Kelly is also very professional, kind and friendly. I enjoy having her do my nails. I will travel from the suburbs to the city just to have her do my nails because she is worth it. Kudos to you Kelly. Sonja read more

I really enjoyed this spot to get my nails done! They had reasonable pricing and did great work. I appreciated their honesty w what they could and could not do based on design wants! They were also very transparent with folks calling about availability which I think made the atmosphere there much more open and enjoyable. It wasn't overcrowded at all because the techs were being realistic with how long it'll take them and it never felt like there was a rush! Overall, I loved it :) read more

I've been getting my nails done constantly for almost 3 years and I have to say this is the best experience I have ever had. Kelly is so wonderful and talented at what she does. Shes honest and so sweet. I may be driving an hour every time I need to a new set just to have Kelly do them!! HIGHLY recommend!! read more

I literally hadn't had my feet done since February, due to Covid-19. I'm in St. Paul now and my normal pedicure location hasn't opened. So I went to my trusty Yelp mobile app to find a new location. I came across this location, not far from where I'm staying (literally down the street) and they had awesome reviews. I called to verify they were actually open and headed that way. Parking can be difficult, but there is ample street parking and there's a WholeFoods ramp, if you're desperate. I circled the block 3x and finally lucked up on a spot 1 store down. Greeted upon entry. They have Covid-19'd their store. Upon entry, you're made to wash your hands and they have these big shields to protect from spraying particles from your mouth between you and the person providing the service at each station. I wore a mask and the workers did too. I don't recall if all of the patrons did. They seem to have a lot if regulars. My feet came out beautifully. I will be back. read more

The woman I had was kind of rude and was being so aggressive while doing my nails that I bled. I understand she wanted to get home but that's no excuse to be disrespectful to your customers. Along with her work job was sloppy. Very disappointed! This place seemed welcoming read more

Gorge! Came in for a full acrylic set after a nerve-biting-vivid death knell to my nail beds. My nails were in desperate need of rescuing. If not to save me from my biting habits. I started a new job so I need subtle with some flair. She was SO quick as I went in first thing on a Saturday morning at was out in a hour! Perfection & super strong. read more

used to live right across the street from this place but never had the money to go. i finally checked it out this week and i'm so glad i did! they didn't have the colors i wanted but that was okay, i still got really gorgeous marble nails. everyone who works here is very nice and they're all very experienced. i asked the guy who did my nails how long he had been doing this and he said about 7 years! it showed because he had the acrylic on and the shape done quicker than i've ever seen. overall i'm really happy with the results and with the service. will definitely try to come back when i have the money to! read more

I went in for the first time to get a full acrylic set. The staff was very friendly. I wasnt overly impressed with my nails. I wish she would have prepped my nails by addressing my cuticles. The overall look of the nails at the base look messy to me. The photo was taken when I got home from the salon. read more

Traveling. Came here for a pedicure based on the reviews. Overall a good experience. It's across from Whole Foods. 6-7 pedicure massage chairs. Wasn't give a menu to choose from, went w/ regular and was fine w it. Though I would have chosen something extra for my calluses. Good selection of color choices. They don't use the bags with the pedicure chair but overall still seemed fairly clean. Having an appt seems wise as they were fairly busy but they handled a few walk ins, but had to turn some people away. A five from me would have included a menu of options to help w the language barrier, and the bag things for OCD cleaning level. End of the day, I would return. read more

I was pretty disappointed in my experience here. The reviews looked great but, in the end, NO! Never again. I made an appt. the day before for 5 pm and when we got there, she said she didn't have us scheduled. The place was empty. When we finally sat down, I decided I wanted a "CAT EYE" style Pedi. When I mentioned it, the woman doing my BF's pedicure said, "on your toes?" as if it grossed her out. Keep in mind I got my first cat eye nails done in Los Angeles 5 years ago (Yes on my feet).. I just thought her attitude and snide remarks throughout our entire experience was unprofessional and unnecessary. Especially since she's in the "Hospitality/Sales/Beauty industry. Even my boyfriend noticed everything I said she had something negative to say afterward. Both her and the woman doing my toes made it painfully obvious they were talking (forgive my French) Shit in Vietnamese the entire time.. IDK how I could've been more uncomfortable. Not to mention my cat eyes are NOT symmetrical. The goal is to make them look even and like they are the same on each toe. The total was $80.00 not including tip for one male Pedi (no color) and one female Pedi/cat eye gel. You tell me if it was worth it.. I wouldn't say so. I do not recommend this place to any of my friends unless your a well off "Caucasian" where they'll pretty much kiss your butt to sit in one of their chairs. Sorry, nothing against white people but thats the vibe I got. Best of luck. read more

This place is really a hidden gem. I called and got in for an appointment on the same day. Kelly did my nails and I like them very slender and pointy, and she exceeded my expectations and was even able to do some rhinestones at the last minute. This is now my regular nail place. 10/10 recommend. read more

I started going here about a year ago, but I've started going regularly within the last few months (every two weeks or so). Everyone who works here is so nice, professional, gentle, and good at their job. I've never been cut or scraped, and I get asked about my nails all the time. I love this place and I won't go anywhere else. Mary is one of the most efficient businesswomen I've ever seen! Make sure to tip them because they deserve it. read more
