Elegant Nails — Local services in Minneapolis

Very difficult to find it’s in the heart of the city lots of traffic minimal street parking that you have to pay for lots of homeless people around which makes me a little nervous about parking my car in the street where I cannot see as the nail salon is inside a big building, their prices were very expensive for a medium length, full set and a short length full set. The first thing they said when we got there is they don’t do long nails more so they refused to do long nails. I had an older lady do my nails and it took her over 2 1/2 hours and I had a very simple medium length full set with one color no design I typically don’t go places I’ve never been before but me and my girlfriend were looking to get our nails done quickly, and I found them on Google maps and went by the pictures they had on their reviews, which are just pictures off the Internet Internet, not even their work wish I would’ve known. The nails were decent, but definitely could’ve been better for the price I’ve gotten way more difficult nails than this and it’s taken less than an hour...

I got a full set of acrylics (the almond shape was perfectly done) and a regular pedicure. The woman that did my nails was efficient, nice, and professional. The massage chair was nice and I was happy with the pedicure. I would come back here. Just as a heads up, when I went they were still running reduced hours (closing at 5pm instead of 7pm). Update After getting my acrylics I started to come to see Michelle every 2-3 weeks for a gel manicure. She does a fantastic job. She is so meticulous about cleaning up my cuticles and she makes sure the polish looks perfect. She is so nice and you can tell she takes a lot of pride in what she does. I was shocked to see the negative reviews on here (but it seems like they are all from the same one disgruntled person because they say roughly the same thing and were all posted around the same time)... but I hope that that doesn't deter people from coming here. I won't go...

Very basic job done with full set of acrylic tips. The acrylic is thick, and my nails look like canoe paddles. Considering it was Valentines Day and I had a walk-in appointment, I did not expect the best service possible as I understand the nail shop would be bustling. The techs would be stretched to capacity. HOWEVER, what made me decide not to return to this shop was the rude attitude of the nail tech who sat at the front of the store, a man whose name I am not sure. I listened to his engagement with several customers, and he asked one a question such as "How much do you weigh?" When I bumped my nail after sitting under the dryer (believing they were dry), he appeared bothered and told me, "They are never dry, EVER." Today when I began to share my experience at work, two women mentioned this same person BEFORE I could speak of him. They both commented on this same person and how...
