It was my first time getting this metallic chrome and it was a bit more involved (and more expensive). Sadly my nails ended up so thick, messy and blotchy. Not to mention they've already started chipping after an hour! My cuticles also took a beating and were bleeding at one point. This manicure is for my 40th birthday party in Palm Springs in two days. I don't really have time to go in and have them fixed but I don't think I have a choice!

I loved the color I picked, the service wasn't too long and I still have a nice looking manicure two weeks later!

The last time I came here there was a friend of the receptionist sitting there gossiping loudly. She definitely was not there for services. Today, it was two girls gossiping loudly. Their voices go through the whole place. Maybe you could put a door between the reception and pedi area? Maybe you can have quiet hours or days? You make such an effort to have a spa like environment and it's ruined by loud people talking nonstop.

Peter pays a lot of attention to detail and aways takes his time (but doesn't take forever) I'll have to update depending on how long it takes for them to fall off.

I went with my dad and forced him to get a pedicure lol but they still did a great job and were very kind, not very talkative, personally I like that as my nails are a time to relax.

However, I called and asked what a set of acrylics would cost me before I came in. They told me $50. But when I went to pay, $95 is what they asked me for. So with tip I spent over $100. I'm sorry, but this is WAY beyond misleading. I literally paid double what they told me it would cost me. I feel like that's borderline criminal. I felt like I should tip my nail technician because she did a very nice job. But really I'm upset with myself for tipping anything after having to pay twice what I was told I would pay. It makes me feel like an idiot. So please just know that asking them anything about their prices is not a good way to determine what you're going to end up paying.

Overall I really enjoyed how my nails looked, the color, the shine, and the length. What I did not…read moreappreciate as much was the service I encountered during my time at the salon. The worker who did my nails, I believe their name was Anna, was rough, Intense and not upfront about the price of the service. I do want to include that I am no stranger to getting my nails done, I have been going to a salon once or twice a month for almost 10 years now. However, with most salons they are transparent about the price of the service or tell you about extra costa before you begin your service. When I walked in I asked the person at the counter if I could get a full set. I have gotten a full set at other salons in portland and not been charged extra for gel or not gotten gel. Typically with gel they give you a specific board of color options or a key ring of colors that are different from standard polishes. The color I picked was among all the options and so I didn't know, nor was I told, it would be gel. Once I landed on my color, Anna started doing my nails. It was going well and felt normal until she started to hold my hand flipped from me, essentially twisting my arm for long periods of time while she filed, cut or put the nails on. The service in total rook 1.5 hours, which is fine but felt longer than necessary. At some points when she was drilling my nails down (a process done before applying the glues and fake nails) she drilled so close to the tips of my fingernails it was pressing into my skin. I flinched because it hurt, she didn't ask if I was ok and then kept doing it. I even told her "ow that hurt after she did it for a 3rd or 4th time. After we were done with nails, they made me buy a nail file and buff because that's standard in Portland and I was fine with that. What I wasn't fine with was the fact that there was a hair in the bag they gave me. The nail tech opened the bag multiple times ro use it he file and never even tried to remove the hair before giving me the bag. Again, my nails look great, there was nothing wrong with how they came out but being charged $20 more than the listed price, having my arm twisted and my pain not being acknowledges really dampened my experience at the salon. I am unsure if I will return to this salon in the future. Thanks, SW

I know, right? It's just....when you trust a skilled technician to do consistently lovely work, you worry you'll never find another....or is it just me? As I sifted through Yelp, I discovered NEW LIFE NAILS, from your reviews. My anxiety was buried and yet again, a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Yelp community for your reviews of NEW LIFE NAILS AND SPA. It was love at my first fabulous gel mani and classic pedi. Their phenomenal work is consistent, the space has the feminine modernity I love, but not so feminine to scare the male customers away! Their talented, caring staff always brings their A Game, and it's so fun to see the impressive nail artwork they do on the nails around me....I keep promising myself I'll take the plunge into acrylics one day, and borrow from one of the WOW-worthy nail designs that I see each time I'm there for my appointment. I do love my gel and dip manis, but one day....perhaps this holiday season? We'll see. Danny and his crew still follow strict COVID-19 cleaning guidelines and sterilization, so I never worry whether I just left a super-spreader environment! I love it when I'm asked, upon arrival, to wash my hands, and follow COVID19 protocol. Frankly, I wish ALL businesses I frequent were still as careful as NEW LIFE. I know most are just itching to move on, but remember everyone, we still have a pandemic on our hands NEW LIFE cares for their clients, and THAT is evident, from the beginning to the end of my appointment. And I leave feeling VERY pretty, as I look down, admiring my nails and how good they look There is a reason why NEW LIFE NAILS has a 5-star review history, and why I've been frequenting NEW LIFE before, during and after COVID-19 : they are THE BEST. Thank you, Danny & Minh, for always taking such good care of me and all your happy customers.

Won't be coming back and truly think I could have removed my nails better and more safely, just wanted to support a local business and treat myself instead but I am left with really weak nails instead. I recommend dipped in lake Oswego if you want a similar vibe but better cleanliness and healthier nails.
