I've been a client of Shelby's for almost 4 years now, and I have never been disappointed. Shelby…read moreis a true artist and professional, dedicated to making sure her clients feel beautiful when they leave her salon. She pays attention to every single detail; my nails always look perfect and I receive so many compliments from family and friends. I get them done every 4 weeks, and they last the entire time between appointments. It's been fun to get creative with my nails - I'm usually a minimalist when it comes to polish, but over the years we've done some fun nail designs with stickers, freehanded nail art, and chrome or magnetic details. I've also had a few dry pedicures with Shelby over the years, which are absolutely luxurious! If you haven't had a dry pedicure, I cannot recommend Shelby's service enough - it is ultimate pampering with hot towels, a scrub, and a rich, moisturizing cream, amongst other relaxing steps. Shelby is also passionate about continuing her education and refining her craft. And to top it all off, she's a lovely human inside and out. I'm lucky to have found her and Nails by Shelby, and I'm lucky to call her one of my friends. She is truly the best!!

I found Shelby via Yelp in 2015, so I have been seeing her every 4 weeks for 9 years! Now my…read moredaughter is starting her structured mani and dry pedi journey with Shelby. I won't go anywhere else and recommend Shelby to everyone that is willing to put the time/effort and related cost into their nails. If you value your time and money, and want the best looking, most healthy nails, you will not regret choosing Shelby! Here is my story . . . I used to be a bi-weekly plain gel mani and gel pedi for years (for work reasons I was afraid to have any length/structure added - worried about chips/breaks). But I was getting tired of trying to find salons that fit my schedule, were reasonably priced and in Vancouver (lots of trips to portland). I wanted a nail tech/manicurist that I could build a long term business relationship with. Enter Shelby. After building a relationship and trust, Shelby was able to convince me to try her structured mani. Life changing!!! Yes, Shelby's structured mani and a gel pedi takes 3-4 hours (she is a perfectionist), and the cost is reflective of the quality of work (see her info for current pricing), but I have absolutely beautiful nails and my preferred length, with no chips/cracks/damage, for 4 full weeks! That was it for me and I have never been back to plain gel manis. As a busy working mom, I don't have the time for bi-weekly visits for nail appts. And who wants to try to get in on short notice when they damage their nails? I schedule in advance the time needed for Shelby to do the job right, and then I don't have to think about it for another 4 weeks! And once you look at how much you spend in both funds and time with bi-weekly appts for fills, you will see Shelby's more thorough 4 week schedule costs about the same. And while I like to keep my structured manis on the shorter side, Shelby will tailor clients length, shape and style to their particular tastes. So check out her instagram or Facebook for inspiration photos or bring your own and ask her if she can do it for you. She is down to try anything. Did I mention her nail art skills? Stamps, free hand, stickers, charms/add-ons? Shelby is a wizard at making your nails look amazing and different than everywhere else. And her beautiful private studio? Quiet and peaceful! You and Shelby just visit and laugh, bonding, without having to worry about others overhearing your conversations or having to shout over the din of a busy salon. It is clean, well lit, well stocked and you can see the love she has for her business and profession through out. Shelby's a busy lady and a real boss-babe. But if you can get an appt with her and become a regular client, you will have found the best kept secret in Vancouver for amazing nails!

Whenever I think of going somewhere a little closer to my home, I decide that with the price of a pedicure these days, I might as well go to this consistent and reliable salon. I no longer get my fingernails done but I was always pleased when I did, granted, I never asked for creative designs or anything elaborate. Now I primarily go for pedicures. They have several different options to choose from at different price points but they are all very reasonable, especially for the service you get! I used to think the jelly pedicure sounded silly but I suddenly felt drawn to it and I'm glad I gave it a try because it is soooo good! The powder dissolves in water and as you stir your feet around it turns into this thick, warm gel that is really satisfying. I was so disappointed when it was time to drain. Again, I don't do anything fancy on my nails, but the paint job is always consistent. The massages are generous, the chairs are comfortable, they offer complementary beverages (including alcohol, if that's your thing), and the staff are very sweet. It's a modern and upscale looking salon that is clean, aesthetically pleasing, and in a convenient location. I will keep going back! PS: one of the last times I actually had my nails done was for my wedding November of 2024, and they were absolutely flawless. It's the only photo I have of the work they do but they were beautiful and the review felt incomplete without it

My husband found Dee who is a barber/stylist/colorist on a whim and a chance. Normally my husband would not set foot into a "girly salon"....but thankfully he did because he met Dee. Dee has cut his hair perfectly on three separate occasions in the past 3ish months. I met Dee by going with my husband on one of his visits. I immediately found him very friendly and charismatic. I scheduled my first appointment after grilling him on his past experience. Before my appointment Dee texted asking for pictures of what I would like to do with my hair specifically . He wanted to make sure he had the correct color and or products in stock. Dee was ready and waiting when I arrived for my appointment. I was offered a beverage -coffee, tea, water or a soda. We then spent some time discussing the best plan action plan for my hair. After the weave was complete he washed and styled making sure the color was even and to my liking. When I left I scheduled my next appointment for myself and my husband. Dee is new to the area and building his clientele so appointments are easier to get....this will not last long so get in while you can, he is a Gem! Take it from someone who has spent a ton of time in a beauticians chair, I know a good one when I experience one. His prices are reasonable and fair compared to other salons in the area.

It felt rushed and somehow there was a misunderstanding as they tried checking us out with only one completed manicure so the other two were hurried. Also the pricing differed from the sign outside stating the pedicures were $38 each with the hot stone massage and wax. The total came out to over $400 somehow. I also noticed shortly after I had a cut in between my pinky toe and my father who got a pedicure to had burning on top of his right foot and come to find out they somehow sliced the top of three of his toes. The next day I woke up with an ingrown toe nail that I did not have going into the pedicure. If I could rate it a 0 I would.

If we're being honest though, they weren't worth the $55 plus $1 credit card fee. Gel X costs that much because of the Apres Gel X brand tips that are used to achieve that super thin hyper realistic natural nail look. What I got today was a regular tip with hard gel overlay which should only cost about $40. I may have to bring that to her attention the next time I go in. On to the nail job though! My nails came out super thin and pretty natural. I just wasn't a fan of the tip being glued on with nail glue. Reminded me so much of my old high school acrylic days. I opted for a natural solid color today because I needed the nude look for an upcoming photo shoot but next time I'm bringing in design pictures for sure! Parking was plentiful and appointments are easy to make. I called the day before and was scheduled for the next day. They're closed on Sundays but you can still call to book appointments (although I felt pretty bad doing so when I found out it was her day off! Trish reassured me multiple times that it was okay though!) It was nice and slow on Monday so I had the entire shop to myself, which was really nice!
