Great service, attitudes and attention to detail. Definitely booking another appointment!

I've been coming here occasionally for quite a few years and the service and place has not changed. Today me and my mom went in for two pedicures around 5:00pm, that were "45$", they upped the price without telling us, even when we asked clarifying questions about the price. Two basic pedicures came out be 105$.... and we didn't get anything fancy either. Every time I get my nails done here they're never ever up to my expectations, not only is the paint sloppy, the place doesn't have a uplifting atmosphere and they also tend to cut or injure you occasionally... When we were getting our pedicures there was only one person doing the pedicures and they let my mom's foot bath get cold, and also cut her nails unevenly. Towards the end when we were letting our nails dry the employees were seeming to be closing the store and one of the women mopped the floor with wet wash towels with no soap or anything... and another women picked trash out of the trash without gloves to dispose of it. In my opinion this is incredibly unsanitary and I would think a "spa" would have to have a medical like cleaning routine?? read more

The other reviewers are awful people. Calling these workers "unkempt" and "drug addicts". Disgusting humans. The people here have never been anything other than helpful. Yeah, it is busy. Why? They do a good job. Duh. If they didn't, they wouldn't have returning clients. I love this place. TV on? Sure. But it's a pretty monotonous job. Of course they need some background noise. If you wanna talk. They will engage. If you don't wanna talk, then they ask you want and do their job. They don't pressure you to carry on a conversation which I enjoy. They take walk ins and appointments. They're quick. They do a great job. My nails last 3 weeks and my job is very hands on. I've broken nails from pretty much every other place but not from these wonderful people. Stop being so judgemental because you don't like how someone looks or dresses in a CASUAL salon. If you want high end, go pay those prices somewhere in the pearl district. read more

I have been going to Fancy Nails for years. Jennifer and her staff have always been welcoming and accommodating as I usually have my son. I'm always pleased with my nails and they are patient even when I decide last minute to change my nail color. If you're looking for a homey environment and quality customer service, this place is it! read more

I came in for a pedicure with using gel polish and a fill and gel polish with design. It was about $50 each and a $5 design. It was pretty hectic when I came but they made room for me. A guy named John did my fill and design and I forgot the other guys name who did my toes. They do a good job in massaging your legs and feet. The quality of service was approved in my book. read more

Only one coat of white nail polish, so it's super see through. When I went to pay they said "Sundays are cash only" and would not budge and let me pay with card. Rude service - would NOT recommend. read more

I went here when I first moved to St Helens. It is on the main street so it caught my eye and thought I would give Fancy Nails a try. The place was dirty and way overcrowded for my comfort and liking. I certainly don't want an infection. I could tell it was seriously unprofessional. Techs looked and acted like bozos. Very loud salon and the techs were watching TV while doing nails. The waxing room was just terrible also, with clutter and just a curtain where it's not private at all. I wasn't about to let one of those workers touch me. I actually left from the waxing room and went straight to my car and never went back... not my place to have any sort of beauty treatments. None! If you want excellent customer service try Healthy Nails... read more

The place is filthy. I went three times. Younger male tech did ok. Older nail tech third time, was doing a terrible job and when I asked if he could make polish on one nail look better he got angry and added a bunch of dip powder over the acrylic and polish. Made the nails so thick and ugly I had no words. I do t like confrontation so I just paid and left. I couldn't wait to get the nails removed and when I did it took 2 hours to get them off! Dirty, unprofessional and no talent. read more

They got us in promptly. Things were clean. The prices should be clearer but overall I had a relaxing pedicure.

First time and first nail shop I've been to since moving to St. Helens roughly 3 1/2 weeks ago:) some reviews were definitely rough but I took the chance and the results were wonderful. Tim was amazing. I love my nails a lot:) read more

I've had 100's of pedicures but today I had the BEST one yet! Tina was absolutely wonderful. I had no appt and she took me right in. Very friendly and sweet lady. She told me they call her "The Old Lady!" She was meticulous about getting my toenails clean. She was super careful and thorough about clipping my ingrown toenails and making them perfect. I have some callouses and she took care of those too! I also enjoyed the nice massage that she gave me. I also appreciated how perfect she applied my polish and then added a pretty flower! I am so happy with my pedicure!! Go see Tina!! read more

My mom and I came in for a pedicure and were pleasantly surprised. Good service and solid pedicure. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of price. It was $55 per person which seamed high for what we got read more

Leena at Fancy Nails in Saint Helens, Oregon gave the best pedicure I've ever had. Now, the facility isn't big-city style by any stretch. The massage chair wasn't something I'll use there. But the treatment I received, the time she took, the job she did was better than any of the many high-end places I've been to. I'm used to being rushed through in order to keep up with the flow of traffic. This wasn't like that at all. I will definitely be going back. Nice job, Leena. read more

I stopped in to get a new set of nails it took me two hours for one complete set the person next to me had started on the third client by the time mine was done painting mine, when they were completed the paint job and the thickness of the nail was very inconsistent very not happy for the time that I spent and money read more

If a town could be named after the people of Walmart, St. Helens Oregon would take the cake. Here, it is perfectly acceptable to dine in flamingo pajama pants, aqua net your bangs like it's the 90's and pickling your liver or doing meth is the only source of entertainment. The residents don't let you forget about their undying love for Mitt Romney and despite our efforts to separate our trash from recycling, the garbage man throws it all in one bin. My expectations weren't set high when I walked into Fancy Nails. In fact, my expectations have rapidly diminished after being trapped here for nearly 5 months. Upon arrival, I had that filmy feeling of dirty that you get when you wander into an alleyway taqueria in Mexico where the meat sits out for days and you keep swatting flys away. You know the tacos are going to be bomb but it's just a matter of hours before your guts will rumble in distress as you pay 5 pesos to drop that "bomb" in the nearest public toilet. I was distracted from this when the tiny lady looked up and asked if I wanted a glass of wine. I opted for red and when the paper cup arrived, it contained a Zinfandel of the Boones Farms variety. I know it was free, but Boones? Are we going to start smoking those long skinny cigarettes that smell like vanilla now, also? So the pedicure commenced and then the other worker started on my mani. I know that the feet belonged to me, but is it kind of creepy that they used the same tools they used to scrub the dead skin off of them without cleaning them to file down my finger nails? The towel that was placed on my lap had crusty finger nail shavings on them. One of them was a yellowish piece that I imagined was clipped off a lady in a mumu with the diah-beetus. This towel resembled the ratty one I use to clean up dog pee when one of the guys has an accident. At last, my pedi was done and my big toe was accidently smeared to ruins when we transferred to the mani station. She was very apologetic and crawled beneath the station to fix my toe while the other one finished my hands. So here I awkwardly was, with one girl at my feet stooped down under a desk, the other at my hands and my paper cup filled with Boones. Earlier, I had read on the wall that they did shoulder rubs for a fee. As my shellac was finishing up, the girl couldn't seem to get it to stick. She panicked after multiple failed attempts and told her friend and they all started talking in Vietnamese. I joked and told them I knew what they were saying and then the owner came over to tell me how pretty the color I had chosen was. Red. How unique. I really don't know Vietnamese but I translated the conversation to this. "Dude, she is getting pissed! Do something fast!" "I know! she is tattooed and brown and she will probably cut us! Distract her! Now!!" So, in an effort to deviate from the present emergency, the one that wasn't good at shellacing began to rub my shoulders while a new one took over and ultimately got the shellac to go. In summary, there is absolutely nothing fancy about Fancy Nails, but the end result was one of the nicest and long lasting mani/Pedi's I've ever had. read more

So, I've been here a number of times over the course of 15 years (I've got friends and family out that way), and while I do tend to prefer my pedicures closer to home, this place is a totally acceptable alternate. 5 Things FYI: 1. This place has been around forever and it is located in a small town. They have regular customers, but business isn't exactly expansive. The chairs are "vintage" (and by this I mean they haven't been updated since probably the early 90's, maybe even 80's) and the equipment nor decor hasn't changed much. It's adequate. 2. It's the only decent place to get your nails, waxing, etc done in the entire town. This means they are busy during peak hours (such as before and after work/school and on weekends). Hit it mid-day, mid-week, and it is golden. 3. Be prepared to hold your ground and ask questions. They can be pushy, and/or vague. Be clear about what you want and what you don't want. Don't be afraid to speak up. The same family has been running this place for as long as I can remember, and they have a lot of experience, but that doesn't mean you can't dictate what happens to your body. 4. Skip the free booze unless you feel like revisiting high school nostalgia. 5. Bring your own tools. While I haven't had a problem with them 're-using tools" on me, I just find that I get more consistent results with my own tools. read more

This place is terrible. Needed ONE nail removed for my surgery and they first tell me that it's $5 when it said $3 on their price chart IN THEIR SALON, then when I try and pay by card they say that it needs to be $10 then when they charge the card they charged it for $10.50... TO REMOVE JUST ONE NAIL. And to make all the matters just a little worse the lady didn't even remove the nail the right way and made me bleed. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!! read more

I personally feel like this is the best place in town to get a pedicure. I have been going here for years and always have the best service. Tom and Jennifer are friendly and offer many great discounts. I love this place and it's my favorite. Plus have Jennifer wax your brows, they will be perfect! read more

Fancy Nails - Shellac pedicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Helens, Oregon

They are amazing. I have been going to Fancy Nails for years and they treat me like family. The new pedicure chairs are amazing. Jennifer always manages to squeeze me in when I call last minute to get fills or pedicures. They love children so it is definitely a family orientated business who cares about their customers. read more

Layout is terrible.. everything feels cluttered. One employee brought their toddler to work so there's a kid running around, yelling being loud and knocking over the stash of empty wine bottles. Other employees keep leaving their stations to keep the kid from running out the open front door- it's open because it's hot and there is no cool air. The little old lady to my right just had the worker rush her out of the chair (even though it's not even busy) immediately after she had her toes painted and when the worker was putting her shoe on she wiped off most the polish from one toe and DIDNT fix it even after the lady pointed at it. The lady to my left has been sitting here in a chair for over 10 minutes waiting for someone to start her pedicure and they keep telling her "two more minutes". The waxing "room" (lol) is right next to everything else with one of those wall divider things but anyone, and everyone can still see behind. So hope you weren't coming in for a bikini wax. Not relaxing. Not professional. But hey- they will serve you wine (if you ask) and best part is that they put it In a giant paper cup and they fill it up way more than what OLCC would allow. Save yourself and go elsewhere. They only get 1 star because it won't let me give 0. Like I don't even yelp but made an account JUST for this. read more

So I went to this place to get my nails done yesterday and I got shellac on my nails and it's already chipping I'm very frustrated with this because it's shellac and it shouldn't chip on the second day. read more

This place is pretty ghetto. Granted, it's a small town and options are very limited. The leg massage with the pedi is ok but if you want a top notch mani and you're looking for something detailed, you'll probably need to drive into Longview/Portland or at least Scappoose. The salon is a little run down with little to no curb appeal. Making an appointment doesn't really do you any good. Every time I do I still wait around for 15-30 mins. Usually they put me in the pedi chair to relax which is nice. The prices are pretty average for a good mani/pedi, high for the sloppy job you'll get here unfortunately. Bring cash or they'll make you go to Skinny's and pull out cash, you'll pay a $3 fee for that... I'd say, visit at your own risk. read more

When I walked into Fancy Nails I asked if they had time to JUST have the hair on my upper and lower lip waxed. They fee was $5. Before the waxing, I made sure she understood I ONLY wanted JUST above and below my lips, not my chin. After the waxing, she wanted to charge me $15 and said because I had my chin done also. I disputed it and she was firm I owed her $15. I paid the fee and will never have a waxing done at an Asian place again. It is not because I don't like Asians, I believe we are all of 1 World, not separate countries. It is because EVERYtime I have gone to one of their places for a waxing, they have done this to me. Fancy Nails is not clean and is very unorganized! read more

They do an amazing job and have wonderful customer service that keeps me coming back month after month.

Pretty much down hill as soon as we got there... My daughter called ahead to schedule an appointment for manicure and pedicure for two. We arrived to find a piece of tablet paper taped to the door that said "cash only on Sunday". Great... we left to find an ATM, the first was out of order the next one worked but there was a $3.00 service charge. We returned to find we had to wait until they finished the "walk in" that walked in while we were looking for a working ATM. Expecting to have a pedicure with a nice warm soak was short lived as the water was filled to the brim with slightly warm water. They had a plastic carrier on the floor with supplies they had to share, the towels were stained with polish and were nasty looking, There were three employees working as fast as they could to get one done to move on to the next "cash customer". When you pay for a shellac Manicure, you usually get lotion on your hands and arms, once the polish is done. Nope, the guy looked over at me and said "you done" and told the girl to get going on the next "walk in". The lady at the front counter told people they were booked for the rest of the day, please come back tomorrow. The guy told them to wait and the girls would get to them. By the look on the girl's faces, they were not happy. My daughter had a shellac manicure that was so thick and bumpy that it had to be removed. The girl used a grinding tool to remove the polish which burned the natural nail, when she applied the polish again it started to sting where the nail was damaged by the high speed tool. Decided to bag it, as it was obvious she didn't know what she was doing. I'm your customer that won't be back. read more

The employees at fancy nails are great. Their shop has a clean friendly atmosphere. Affordable rates and all the lastest colors .

This nail salon is the worst I have ever been too. I went once in high school (about 11 years ago) and I hated it. I thought for sure it would have changed by now. So I gave it a second chance yesterday and it's still awful! The place looks like it's falling apart and its dirty. The employee told me it was $15 for a pedi and they only have one. However I just read on their website they have a hot stone pedi for an outrageous $60 ( I pay $35 in Portland). The chairs are a little outdated and don't work to well. After my toe nails were painted they asked me to walk across the dirty floor with my bare feet (he was carrying my sandals). He had me sit in a very uncomfortable chair and put this tiny drying machine over my feet. After my feet were dry they came and put hot wax on them and had me sit there longer. By the time they pulled the wax off (which I had to remind them I was still sitting there) it had been about 30 minutes. One employee yelled outside for the guy who was working on my feet to come in and remove the bags with wax in them off of my feet. The guy put out his cigarette and came straight to my feet without washing his hands. When I went to pay, the guy told me it was $25. Not $15 like he told me previously. $15 is for 18 and under. Needless to say I will NEVER go back. read more

Fancy Nails - This is 28 days after I went in for a pedi. Seriously. It's painful and gross! Don't ever go here! - Nail Salons Near Me - Saint Helens, Oregon

I normally don't write reviews, but I became upset after reading some of the things said in previous reviews. As a RN, I am concerned with sanitation and cleanliness. I am also retired, so fair pricing is of concern. As a mom and grandma my recommendations for my friends and family are meaningful to me. I have been going to Fancy Nails since Jennifer and Tom started their business. They are very professional and care about their customers. They work hard to please the customer and get the service just right. I have NEVER had any salon keep my nails lovely for 6-8 weeks before I found Jennifer. My horrible feet have never felt so good before coming to Fancy Nails. I highly recommend Fancy Nails Salon to anyone. As for the old antiquated salon, I don't know where this person went. Tom and Jen remodeled last year. The Salon is neat and clean. The staff is very courteous and friendly. They always remember who you are and how you like things! read more
