T-Luxe Nail Salon

This place is amazing. Their pedicures are OUTRAGEOUSLY good. Free drink upon arrival (soda or water), loooooooooong massages, attentive service, and super friendly staff. While there are other places in the city that I prefer for a flawless gel mani, I will only come here for my pedicures. Tracy and her staff are seriously incredible — super nice and so efficient.

This was my first time visiting and I called ahead to make an appointment. I suggest you make an appointment because they are BUSY. I got a gel pedicure and I was happy with the service. I didn’t notice until the woman next to me was offered some upgrades that it was an option. I totally would have done one of their special pedicures had I known it was an option! I will return and try one with all the upgrades. I did notice that people getting manicures were also getting a shoulder/​back massage, which I thought looked amazing! I had Kim and she worked really hard to make sure the polish was perfect. They also have loose glitter that can be added to the tacky layer of the gel to have a waterfall effect. I’m picky about my nails and I’d say this place is awesome!
Went back for the third time and still really like this place. My pedicurist was struggling a bit with the Swarovski crystals on my toes but Tracy helped guide her through it. Got gel nails with a glitter fade and I love them! Busy even during the day so make an appointment. They really do pay attention to detail and ask if you like your nails, etc. This time they did ask which pedicure and gave the pamphlet to look at! I likely will never go anywhere but T-​Luxe when I want to be pampered. The shoulder massage was amazing as well!!! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality nail salon that is clean.

Fantastic service, beautiful salon and wonderful prices! Tracy is the best – I followed her to her new salon (and have been seeing her for 5 years) and would never go anywhere else!

What is not to love about this place. Staff is fantastic and the service they do is awesome. Titi was busy so HOA omg, she is amazing my gel manicure and regular pedicure is great. Always pleased when I come. #1 nail salon in my opinion. Thank you T luxe nails for making me look fabulous.

T– Luxe is absolutely the best salon in town! I never go anywhere else! The staff is polite and professional. Lots of color and service selection and the salon is always immaculate. Reasonable prices. The best gel manicures I have ever had and they last forever. You will not regret your choice!

A group of us came here to get Mani/​Pedis for a vacation. The environment was clean and open which was wonderful. We decided to splurge and get the works on our hands because my spouse is a chef and I wanted to spoil her. Sadly our technicians rushed through the process and finished well before the rest of our party. My technician hardly spoke and seemed preoccupied throughout the time I was there. They offered Gel polish but I felt that the selection was limited. The basic pedicure was $ 50 and the first added service level to the menacers also made them $ 50. Overall I was very disappointed that we ended up paying $ 200 for services that were lacking. I will not be back.

Hands down my fave salon in the Twin Cities metro! I have been going to Tracy for about five years (before she even opened this salon). Tracy and her staff are committed to providing all of their clients with best-​in-​class service and take great pride in their work. Highly recommended!

Great experience! I’m fussy about French mani and pedi and the owner exceeded my expectations. The massage chair was very relaxing and the salon is tidy and nicely decorated. I liked that the manicure included a hand and shoulder massage. It will be my new go-​to nail salon!

Excellent service. The male Manger is so kind. Kathy did an excellent mani & pedi. Super clean and professional. I’m traveling on business but would absolutely come back, again and again! Also, the air is so fresh, it smells clean and not like a typical nail salon. I really recommend this salon.

Nails turned out wonderfully. Tech had sterile equipment, and did extra coats to make it perfect.

Loved it!
Salon is nice, spacious, relaxing, clean and quiet.
They offer a drink which is so nice.
My nail artist was Loanne. Thanks Loanne. She is sweet, nice, communicative. They also massage ur hand and feet and shoulder which i loved. Over all great experience. will definitely come back.

I have been to T-​luxe Nail Salon about 10 times now and every time my nails are done to perfection. Sometimes I walk-​in but I usually call because they are busy and I don’t like to wait. I’m a clean freak and I can honestly say this salon is very clean. I don’t have a specific technician that I see every time, but every time I leave I’m happy with my nails. Also they always seem to remember me and what is going on in my life, it’s nice :). Definitely go here!

I’m a bit late with this review. Stopped in 2.5wks ago for a gel mani and basic pedicure. Though crowded they were able to accommodate my friend and I who were about 15mins late for our appointment.
As with any salon we were instructed to pick our nail colors. On the wall behind the longer couch was a collection of OPI colors. What I didn’t realize till leaving is that on the wall by the front door is a collection of Essie colors (I prefer Essie).
The service was good and honestly not far different than any other salon. Actually for the pedicures they did have a wide range of services, and add-​ons (I don’t know if that’s common as I do my pedicures at home 99% of the time).
What I did like/​appreciate about this salon was:
–the techs patience as I scrutinized all the details of the paint job. I do nails so it’s hard not to; I want to ensure all nooks and crannies are perfectly painted.
–the techs understanding that for darker skin, the nail beds are darker (from peach to brown)…therefore some colors require up to three coats.
–my french manicure lasted two weeks, which was good considering all the work I had been doing with my hands without the use of gloves to protect them.
Overall I liked the outcome and would definitely come back during those occasions where I want to treat myself.

Best nail salon in the Twin Cities! Tracy and her staff provide detailed, professional services in a chic, relaxing setting. I’m addicted to their gel manicures and am always happy with the results. They last at least 2 weeks. What impressed me most was how they handled one time that my manicure got damaged. I called the next day to say it wasn’t quite right and they had me come in immediately to completely re-​do it at no charge. That’s good business! They always make sure their customers are happy and taken care of.

T Luxe is, hands down, the most premier nails salon in the west metro. I used to choose a nail salon based on convenience, expecting that I would get average to below-​average service no matter where I went.
I’ve been going to T Luxe for one year, and every visit has been consistent and high quality. My (natural) nails have grown long and healthy too. Every manicure is accompanied by a hand massage AND a shoulder massage, which is rare and totally wonderful.
I recommend calling ahead if not making an appointment in advance. Since the techs are so good across the board, I always call the day of and ask how soon I can come with the first available tech. With competitive pricing, the value is incredible.

LADIES! Seriously, ladies. I am NOT just another review. From Detroit. School in Orlando. Worked in Nashville. Now live in Denver and travel everywhere (Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Reno, Minneapolis) for work. I’ve gotten my nails done EVERYWHERE. Found T-​Luxe off of Unilocal!BEST SERVICE /​NAILS EXPERIENCE YET! Lim did my pedicure while Lam worked on (improving) my gel-​powder manicure because the salon was busy with a wedding party. I hate feet and seconds away from taking a picture of my piggies because they look that good. Contemplating if I could bare to live in Minneapolis (and get over your crazy on-​off merges) JUST to get to this salon frequently versus every other month. EVERY TIME I am in Minneapolis I will be back. THANK YOU!!!
Ps. No tip by credit card. Credit or check made to cash only.

See picture. Never again.
I asked the technician to be gentle and look what happened. The nails on the right hand were 2 – 3 mm longer then on left. I want my $ 55 back

I came here last week for a gel manicure and a normal pedicure for my wedding. I thought everyone was nice and friendly at the salon. We made appointments ahead of time and were seated fairly quickly. Our appointment was at 11am. I wore close toed shoes at around 5pm that night and noticed the polish on my big toes kind of melted off (see picture). I have never had this happen with a professional pedicure… pretty stressful to fix the day of my wedding the next day.
And here is what my gel manicure looks like a week after having it done. It has chipped in a few spots and there are crack marks. Not sure if I did something wrong? But I thought gel manicures were pretty durable.
Overall, I appreciated the atmosphere, but the nails just don’t hold up.

I visited T-​Luxe on the recommendation of a beauty-​savvy acquaintance when I was looking for a pre-​wedding mani/​pedi and was mostly satisfied with my experience! I have gotten my nails done literally a handful of times and this is definitely one of the nicest places I’ve been. That said, I feel I should share a few things, some positive but some not-​so-​great:
1) We made appointments ahead of time for three of us — which is good, because they get busy. In fact, their posted hours are until 7:30 on Friday nights but when we left at 9, the place was still pretty hopping. When we initially arrived, it was not quite as busy but we were separated immediately and I remained ALONE the entire rest of our time there. It was the night before my wedding and I was with my MOH and personal attendant trying to have a relaxing girls night. Instead, my girlfriends got to hang out gabbing and having fun while I sat solo. I saw other groups being sat together — and we’d made the group appointment weeks in advance so clearly this was just not well planned on their part. At one point, another patron even asked if she could switch to a different chair so that I could sit with my friends (since she overheard them talking about how it was the night before my wedding and they felt bad that I was all alone). Her request was ignored by staff and I remained on the opposite end of pedicure chair row.
2) Despite the way the polish looked in the bottle AND on the sample nail, my navy blue fingernail gel polish turned out purple. I was told that the second coat would prove to be blue, but it took so long to get the first coat down that by the second coat was added and made the purple even more intense, I felt guilty and pressured into just accepting purple nails. While the technician repeatedly asked if it was okay, it felt like it was too late to fix things. The owner told a story about a bride-​to-​be who came back in tears and had to have them spend an hour re-​doing her nails because her mom didn’t approve of the color. I didn’t want to be that girl. It took until we were about to leave for my friends and the owner to convince me that it was okay to fix them. The owner covered the previous layers of gel with a layer of the correct color and they turned out perfectly without spending an excessive amount of time to change. All in all it worked out and if it hadn’t, I would have been partially responsible for not being a better self-​advocate.
3) The man working reception offered us snacks and beverages while we waited (and we actually brought our own celebratory beverage with their permission ahead of time) which was great. It definitely felt like more of a luxury experience than the typical neighborhood nail salon. As other Unilocalers have mentioned, they even throw in a nice upper-​back/​neck massage in addition to the arm/​hand/​leg/​foot rubs that come with the nail experience. Definitely worth the price if you take all of this into account.
4) As other Unilocalers have also mentioned, cash is important here. It was claimed, while we were there, that their card machine was suddenly not working and the company wouldn’t be able to fix it until after the weekend. I didn’t buy this at all because I had read about this deceitful practice on here, but my friends and I were prepared and luckily did not have to walk to the ATM as they were urging others to do. It was cold and rainy and we had just gotten our nails done! No way was I flip-​flopping over to an ATM and ruining my post-​nail, zen-​like happy place.
5) It’s been a week and a half and I’ve only had one chip in my gel polish — but I am REALLY rough on my hands and spent hours doing physical labor outside last weekend when it happened, so I think this is probably more premature chippage than most people will experience. Also, I was able to use a similar non-​gel navy polish to cover the chip and my nails still look great! More importantly, though, is how well they turned out in my wedding photos.
Long story short: they do a nice job and make you feel pampered. Things seemed clean and sanitary which is important. The staff and owner were eager to make sure we were all satisfied before we left. My only real disappointment was that they were unable to better accommodate our group, but I expect this was an exceptional situation!

This is my absolute favorite nail salon in the Minneapolis/​St. Paul area. Tracy (the owner) keeps the salon so clean and everyone is so friendly. I see Nina and she gives the best foot and back massages. My nails always look amazing after Nina gets done with them. She’s the best.
They do a great job and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for nails now that I found T-​lux.
I would also recommend making an appointment a few days in advance and bring cash.
