I've always had trust issues with nail salons because it's hard for me to find a place that does…read moregood work on nails and places that won't hurt my skin and/or nails. Saw the good reviews on yelp here and needed my nails done so I decided to take a chance and book an appointment with Mahalo Nails and omg, best decision ever made!! Liam, my nail tech, did such an amazing job. I showed him some inspos and tell him what I wanted. He listened and made sure I liked my nails before moving on and he just wowed me! He was so nice and chill and made the whole experience awesome. The down fall was there was no free parking. It was either paid street parking or paid lot. Other than that, the interior of the salon looked beautiful! Very nice and clean! All staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Definitely found my new favorite nail salon!

I am not especially easy or careful with my nails - I work with kids and have two pets, and am often outside or working with my hands. My nails held up through it all. Highly recommended!

I just got a great manicure today from Kelly with the newish shellac-style nail polish. I'm really…read moreexcited about it because my nails not only look stellar, this new type of polish will last at least 2 weeks without chipping! Kelly has a cute, cozy space in S. 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.

If i'm not sure on a color or design, they are able to help, and know their inventory and colors so well that they will even mix colors to make one that I'm describing. 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. Most of all this small family run business works together like a well oiled machine and I always feel uplifted after having spent time and money here. Highest recommendations.
