    They provide libations while you're waiting...

    It's a new location and I am just happy they had room for a "walk-in" on the day of. I called around to every pedicure place in a walking distance from downtown and they are all appointment only. This was the only one that had an opening less than an hour from the time I called which was a steal!!! I was only in town for the morning and was so happy when they could accommodate me. There soon is super clean with lots of white and mirror based furniture so it looks sleek and clean when you walk in. I scheduled a pedicure and little did I know that I would be treated to a glass of champagne or wine while I was being treated!!! That was a pleasant surprise. The chairs for the pedicure done vibrate and aren't the most comfortable but they do the job and who really cares when you're getting champagne or wine!! The cost is more than I am used to but I live in an urban area where walk-ins are the norm. They may have had more options available than my basic pedicure but I wouldn't know because they don't have a menu of services listed anywhere...maybe it's on the website. My tip: call ahead and call early to schedule your appointment!!!

    lucky to find early mornings on the weekday  like this to have some quiet time.

    I am writing this review because ever since moving to Portland, my fiance has brought me here for my annual Christmas mani pedi. Her go-to person at the city center location is Shelby, super down to Earth and always satisfied with her nails. I love to write reviews that will help local businesses and I truly enjoy my time here even as a guy. They don't make me feel out of place, everyone in there is super friendly, and everyone (including the customers) is having a fun time and chatting up a storm. A literal chat storm laughter all around, energy is vibing. Parking is difficult here, If its your first time I would recommend parking on spring st. Try to make a reservation online or even just calling it in, will make your check in a lot smoother. After your visit to H & E and you're feeling yourself, head down to the Old Port!

    I walked in for a gel manicure and was lucky they had an availability for me. The place was clean, spacious, and welcoming with great decor. My nail artist was Kim and she did a great job! She shaped my nails just the way I wanted and was super gentle in cutting my cuticles. She was very meticulous and friendly as well. I got an express gel manicure which was about $37, a bit pricey for me- but the service was great and Kim did such a good job that I felt like it was a good splurge. Definitely a place to count on for good service and a job well done.

    I can't believe I haven't been here sooner! A friend and I booked Mani-Pedis online and had such a great experience. Our nail techs made us feel comfortable and very pampered! The receptionist was very gracious when I had a last minute schedule change and helped me to adjust my appointment time/type of manicure so I could still fit it in. My nail tech was Megan, who did a lovely job and gave me many helpful tips for doing my own gel at home. It is clear that the salon is taking every precaution possible to keep the place clean and safe for guests during this time. The pedicure chairs are very comfortable as well. I will definitely return!

    Salinna is amazing! Love H&E - it's a close spot by my work and everyone here is super great at what they do and so nice. The atmosphere is great, and they offered wine and mimosas yesss - you can make reservations online at a moments notice and they have a lot of great color options. One of the best spots on the peninsula - check it out! I've also been to Sarah in the past and she books so far out because she's so amazing - again, you can book online and it's sooo easy so call to get in ASAP or make an appointment on the app when you can. Come thru!

    Asal did my nails and she did a beautiful job as you can see in the picture below. If I lived here, that would be my go to place. Thank you

    I decided to try H&E based on a recommendation from a friend. When she told me they offer you a drink, I made some assumptions that turned out to be false. 1. They'll be high priced 2. I'll have trouble getting an appointment. 3. It'll be "high-end" where I might feel out of place Boy was I wrong! The price is the same I pay at my normal salon (which is a fine place to go, I just wanted to try a new one) I was able to easily get an appointment - but, be prepared to give a credit card to reserve as they have a strict cancellation policy (understandably so, in my opinion) and I was right about "high-end" - what a beautiful salon. But, I felt welcomed upon arrival and was made to feel so comfortable immediately. The receptionist greeted me and helped me pick out a color. She was so nice. My technician was Linda and wow. She was meticulous, thorough and so sweet. I was offered a drink immediately and we had a blast together. She gave me tips on taking care of my nails and made my short, frail nails look amazing. I will definitely be visiting H&E Paint Bar again!

    Bridal Party Mani-Pedis

    I recently got married in June and booked H&E Paint Nail Bar for bridal party mani-pedis. There were 8 of us and they had all of us done within a couple of hours. We had the whole place to ourselves and were able to bring food and drinks and have a great party. Everyone was very happy with their nails. The staff members were all talented and fun and made sure we had a good experience. I was very happy with how my nails came out. I brought some photos from Pinterest of the nail art that I wanted and the technician was able to recreate exactly what I showed her. I wish I could remember her name so I could give her credit here. It was perfect! I highly recommend them for weddings and in general.

    The worst nails salon ever, lack of customer service. Save you a trip to other nails salon.

I'm still a traditional polish gal (no gel or dip for me), but they do it all here! I usually bring my own polish, but they also have great in-house options including standbys like OPI as well as a niche brand or two, including the quick-drying vegan brand Dazzle Dry (a $10 add-on, but this stuff really does last). You'll never feel rushed here; when you arrive you'll be asked if you'd like a coffee, tea, or glass of bubbly. Every aesthetician here I've worked with has done an amazingly thorough clean-up job along with exfoliating and massage, and in particular everyone does an amazing job with my nail tips to the extent that I usually get a week's wear on my nails, which I keep pretty short and bang around on the regular. Practicalities: you'll want to make an appointment--they do book up, and chancing it on a walk-in might not be an option. And parking on the street and in the lot across the street is metered and it's close enough to the Port to be monitored, so don't skip paying up.

    I've been going to Akari for 14 years with a 6 year break when I moved to LA…read more Akari has a beautiful space on the second floor in downtown Portland. Front desk staff is always very warm and welcoming. This review, though, is about Zira, a Senior Colorist at Akari. I've known her for 8 years or so through Akari, initially when she was an apprentice. As a colorist Zira is warm, upbeat and patient, she is open to feedback, and in fact asks for it, and she's always fun to talk with!

One that included a massage, a facial, a manicure and pedicure and a wash and blow dryer so that I could enjoy my evening out. That is exactly what Akari had in store for me. I was a little hesitant because the reviews were kind of a mixed bag. But my spa day was 100% amazing. From the moment I walked in to my massage and the manicure may have been the best manicure I've ever had. The lunch was not served to me in a bag, but put on a beautiful tray with real utensils and served to me like I was a valued customer. Everyone was so kind and I'm hoping to return with my daughter for a special day before she gets married. Thanks for making my birthday very memorable.
