Hemera Nails & Spa

It’s hard to find a good nail salon in Minneapolis. The staff at Hemera are friendly and the prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be going back!!!

Since moving to Minnetonka last year, Hemera Nails has been my «go to» nail salon whenever I need a stylish mani/​pedi for special occasions or to help make myself extra neat & pretty prior to a vacation getaway!
My overall satisfaction can be hit-​or-​miss, depending on the technician, and Today was one of those days.
Originally, I came in for a gel manicure and basic pedicure. I relayed that desire to Tra, who ended up not being my technician for this visit. Instead, I began my pedicure with Nhan, and that’s where things went a bit awry.
I must admit, Nhan did a BEAUTIFUL job on my pedicure, however, I was given a gel polish pedicure instead of just a basic scrub/​polish. Since I liked the color I had chosen, and she was already ½ way done with my first foot when I realized there was a curing lamp beside her, I didn’t complain.
Next came my manicure, which again was done BEAUTIFULLY, and Nhan worked really hard to imitate the style of a french manicure photo I had brought in as an example of what I wanted.
Ultimately, I was satisfied, although a tad sticker shocked; since my usual gel manicure & basic pedicure typically doesn’t exceed $ 45. Today’s total (for gel manicure + french tips and gel polish pedicure) came out to $ 75! I felt bad, because their new (?) credit card system doesn’t allow for adding tips, those must be paid in cash or personal check, which I never carry on me. However, at $ 30 more than I’m used to paying for my visits, I wasn’t really prepared to go any further over my budget anyhow!
Bottom line, this is a GREAT business operated by WONDERFUL people! I will keep coming back and always refer my friends/​co-​workers here when they compliment/​ask about where I get my nails done.

The ladies were nice, but the shellac that is supposed to last 2 weeks has already fallen off 4 of my nails. Very frustrated, and for the price I was expecting better results, and for my shellac nails to last longer. I will not be returning.
My coworker also said she had a bad experience, she got acrylic and when she showed me her nails, they were ridged, not smooth like they should have been, and the nail polish was uneven and parts the acrylic was still showing, and was not covered by any nail polish. She will not be returning either.

Love this place! Everyone is professional and so kind. Very clean boutique. Great prices. Try the deluxe pedicure. Very worth it.

A little gal here named Cindy just gave me the best mani/​pedi of my life. I got the ‘Pain Relief’ pedicure, which was a whole lot of pampering. Was meticulous when applying the color. The place is peaceful, clean and bright. I highly recommend.

Went in today for a drop in and was kindly welcomed. I had some acrylics taken off and a gel manicure that was completed wonderfully.
The owner did my nails and was very personable and not pushy like many other places.
Prices were fair– I will go back again!

This place is great. I am new to town and have tried out several nail salons in the area for pedicures in the last 6 months and have been disappointed by others. This one has a great location (in the mall near JCPenny, easy parking), is open, bright and clean and I got the best pedicure I’ve had in a long time for a very reasonable price. I will definitely come back!
(I reposted this from my google review because the only other review here was really negative and I had such a great experience I thought another opinion might be helpful to some!)

Please note their rebuttal was dishonest (yet another reason to never go here). Even with my dissatisfaction in their attempt to provide a pedicure, I tipped $ 10 just for ‘scrubbing’ my feet (in addition to the tip provided for my nails). I paid $ 56.00 and received a $ 40 refund. The picture taken was actually THEIR suggestion. Nothing was tampered with, unfortunately that is just their quality of work, be advised.
