I often forget to book ahead and they are so accommodating. They were able to get me in quickly despite the place being somewhat busy and I was so grateful! I have had some bad nail experiences in Portland so this was such a great find. They had so many color and texture options for nails, and I do gel, so even more options there! I loved the color I picked, the service wasn't too long and I still have a nice looking manicure two weeks later! The first time I went in was around Halloween and I asked for a ladybug style nail - they did not disappoint!

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

They do offer drinks like a glass of wine, but I don't drink and unfortunately they didn't have any diet soda, so I just had water. That's probably my only feedback to them. Get some Cole zeros please. I think their basic services like mani pedi were about average in price, I really wish I would've taken a few snaps of the me u of sevices and costs. Maybe bext time if someone else doesn't do it. The pedi was about and hour, I didn't time it but it was so nice. It came with all these luxury treatments like wax and stone massage and it was a sensory experience. I took a photo of the beautiful spread they brought out for my feet. I almost thought they were bringing snacks and that would've been a pleasant surprise, as I was a lil hungry. The nails look amazing and they had these lovely fancy cards with a winter color scheme as well as Valentine and Cat Eye selections. The salon is beautiful and twice the size of most nail salons with a grey and white color scheme and gorgeous lighting. It was tastefully decorated and adds to the experience.I loved, loved, loved tha grey massage chairs that also included those air bags that massage your arms. I love that this place opened up in my neighborhood right on Fremont. The other salon nearby was always too packed and this one is more spacious and will allow for more people. As someone who enjoys the way a place looks and feels and the sensory experience, I liked it here. Def go check this place out if you are in the neighborhood.

My nails came out exactly how I wanted them to be. My technician really pad attention to my cuticles and to the health on nails in general.

Both techs at the salon were very nice, they kept asking if I was enjoying my service and offered refreshments right as I sat down. They have so many options for different types of gel nails that made the experience better. I got gel x this time and definitely will be back. Very reasonable price.

Then she came to me and said you should have told them long nails, so next time say long nail because we can do that here you know? We do everything. I won't be back.
