Daisy Nails in Minneapolis, MN

This has become the only nail place I ever go to, and now it's the only place my husband goes, too. Been coming here for pedicures since I lived in Uptown in the 90s. I have tried other places throughout the decades, and I keep coming back to this one, because even with all of its faults, the other places don't quite measure up. Either they are too expensive or they don't have good equipment or both. This place keeps their equipment somewhat updated. I am not a big fan of the chairs they have right now; the massage is too hard. But in the past they have had really good ones, and they get them replaced often. I can't give them five stars because the service isn't completely reliable. It totally depends on which technician you get. The pedicure before last, I had somebody who was pretty vicious. She scrubbed the pumice over my bones (where I didn't even have any calluses), and made me bleed. It took like a month to heal! But honestly of the probably near 100 times I've been there, that was one of the very few negative experiences. And I have had some extremely positive ones. The best pedicures I have ever had have been here. And I have splurged and went to really fancy salons for pedicures, and never had as good. But I bring my own polish now because they don't carry my favorite brand anymore. Shame, because really one of my favorite parts was picking out the color at the beginning. Pros: They almost always have room for walk-ins. I think I've literally never been turned away. Cons: That parking lot though! But if you're fine with inner city driving and parking, you will be fine here. Must bring cash or pay a fee. They hate credit cards and have even told me their credit card machine was down in the past to make me go get cash.

I use to frequent this place a lot. No so much now. The Location is off busy Hennepin in Uptown, small parking lot. It can be problematic however I haven't had to find side street parking more than twice. Not too bad. Friendly Ambiance 5/5 Very quaint nail salon. They've had an upgrade since I've visited last with light pine wood stations, chairs that massage and nice hardwood floors. Color scheme is a neutral tan with flowers and soft lighting. If you go during less busy times, it's very chill and I like when they have Judge Judy playing on TV. Very random. I know Service 3/5 If your're looking for great pedicure ask for Maria, she does a great job. She always allows my feet to soak for at least 10-15 minutes. Massaging, beating and treating you like a queen. She's the first tech to pop my toes. Lol. I Neva knew it could be so satisfying. If your really treating yourself the Paraffin is a must . I've never gotten nails done. I prefer natural but pedicures are great. Reasonable priced and isn't feel their tryin to upsell you to death. Two drawback is when they claim their machine is broke and redirect you to the cash machine. I've experienced techs being undercut for their tip as the customer eats the fee. That definitely rubs me the wrong way. Second last time I came. They claim to have availability for walk-in but when you arrive they don't. My feet soaked for over 30 minutes last Winter. Another patron mentioned the same thing after arriving to a line despite calling ahead to check. Price $$ 5/5 I'm a self.proclaimed high low girl so I don't splurge on gel or nails ‍ I will splurge on my feet, I only get one pair. Lbss. Sea Salt Pedicure $40 | Callous removal $5 Paraffin $10 | Tip:15-20 (she's that good) Overall: Maria is the absolute best and I'd return by appointment with her only. Ambiance is great, relaxing and reasonably priced.

My second time coming recently after a nail hiatus. Amazing quality! I feel like a dream! Shout out to Cece and her patience with me making sure I got the right color. Great experience. I'd attach a photo, however I have my grandmothers hands and poor lighting in my apartment. However trust me this is a sweet amazing place to get your nail game on!!!!!!

I have been going to Daisy Nails for over 10 years. Arrive a little early so if there is no parking, just wait in the lot and spots turn over quickly. I also put some laundry in to wash next door, and the lady there put them in the dryer for me while I was at Daisy Nails. For the last 4 years I have been seeing Quinn. She is very pleasant and professional. She also does a very high quality mani and pedi. The atmosphere in the salon is even nicer now - quieter, staffed well, take walk-ins. Free bottled water if you ask for it. I haven't had appoinments with the others but I highly recommend Quinn.

This was probably the worst gel pedicure EVER. The gentleman who performed the service did not seem to know what he was doing. It showed in the outcome. The worst thing is that it is gel, and I can't just go home and remove it.
