So incredibly impressed with Solar Nails! My experience was wonderful! I love getting my nails done but I am a barista and my hands are constantly wet and around steam. This means that anytime I get a shellac manicure it peels off within a few days and the only way regular polish will stay on is if it's on acrylics. I walked in wanting a full set of acrylics and was surprised at how busy they were at 10:30am on a weekday! They fit me in though right away! The lady who did my nails looked at them and told me my nail beds were so healthy looking and asked why I wanted acrylics. I told her my reasons and she recommended I try a shellac manicure from them. I agreed and she started on my nails! She was very talkative and attentive and even recommended a little glitter ombré to make it fancy for thanksgiving! I still have my manicure on over TWO WEEKS LATER! It's just as shiny and strong as it was the first day I got it! I get tons of compliments on it and I highly recommend this nail salon! It's clean and the staff is wonderful! Great business, will definitely return read more

Before hand I would like to let everyone know that I am a usual at Solar Nails for a good 4 years or so . When I first started going I was going with Teresa who is the owner of the place . I loved her quality of work but throughout time she was rushing her work and leaving my nails dry and un even with even powder that had already hardened behind my nail. I decided to change techs and started going with Ming . She is the absolute best and I hate to write reviews like this towards the salon she works for because she is so dedicated and takes her time and I love her ! But , in all honesty I would say .. SAVE YOUR TIME AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE . 1. They never seat you at your appt time not knowing or because no considerate of your time 2. They over book themselves and end up rushing your set because the next set has already arrived 3. They will automatically speak in their language among each other after your ask them something or being up a concern 4. I actually did an experiment one time and walked in stating I had an appt when I really didn't and they took me in . What this means is that they don't ever keep track on their book . 5. Talk about OVER PRICED ! 6. Teresa is so rude I can't believe it They will find the easy way out of things . Told my mother in law she would not get a French tip because her nail was too long when in reality the girl did not know how to do it . They suck all around . I got SNS DIP and none of my nails are even . And they look horrid ! Don't go here beDhaf-7padbe-komgov read more

Solar Nails - Nail with a huge bump - Nail Salons Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

The WORST $30 I spent ever! The pedicure was so fast she didn't even take time to finish rubbing in the lotion on my legs. She didn't even try to get the dead skin off my toes. I wanted to walk out but that is just not me. NEVER GO BACK!!! This is what they looked like just minutes after polish. read more

It has been 4 days since I had my nail appointment I have never had a nail tech use the machine to take off my previous nails and burn my nail with how fast it was rotating. I will not be coming back. i hope someone reads this and saves their money. I have 3 bday chipped nails and the shilac too coat was applied horribly read more

Don't recommend getting your eye done there I asked them to clean them up and leave them thick and they didn't listen and thinned them after I jut grew them back from them doing it before! read more

This place is ALWAYS so busy. But I love their color selection, and no matter how busy they are, the quality is never compromised.

As with other reviews... I will agree that they way over book. Every time I go in there to get my nails done, and I have an appointment, I'm waiting 15 to 30 minutes after my appointment was supposed to start, for someone to get started on my nails. They have no consideration for their customers schedules and time. Furthermore, most days, from the moment they open, my guess is that they take their phones off the hook because their phone line is constantly busy. I have called repeatedly within seconds, within minutes, for up to an hour, and the line is constantly busy. If you open at a certain time, you should be taking phone calls at that time as well! People can't just walk in and get their nails done here. Every time anyone tries, they don't have time unless you have an appointment. So when people try to call to get an appointment, and their lines are constantly busy for hours, what sense does that make? Also, they probably don't even look at these reviews. They probably don't care about these reviews. The only way that anyone is going to get through to them, is having a face-to-face conversation with whomever is in charge... and good luck with that because they are always with a customer. It's sad too because their customers are the reason their business survives. Sometimes they do a great job on nails, and sometimes they don't. Any time I have a bad experience there, their tip gets lowered, or they don't get one at all. I don't see myself being a long-term customer of theirs. read more

We waited probably 30 mins and I had called ahead and made an appointment. They did a really great job on my nails though. read more

I went here the day of my wedding. Appt was at 920, wasn't seen until 11. No big deal. Things happen. HOWEVER, the lady with the headset ( I believe her name was Theresa) gashed my finger. And CONTINUED to work on it. I asked her if she would work on my other hand as it was throbbing. She proceeded to pack up my things and told me to go somewhere else.... I was crying as I was getting married in hours and she did nothing...nobody did anything. Never again solar nails. read more

I heard such good things and watched them do very nice nails but their products freakin suck and the way they applied the top coat on my nails sucks. It hasn't even been two weeks and my nails are already lifting. I will never be coming back here. My nails even looked super grown out because she didn't apply the acrylic where she was supposed to on my nail. read more

Absolutely TERRIBLE customer service. Scheduled 2 pedicures and a manicure in advance and showed up and was asked the typical "how can I help you" question. When I answered the woman and said I had an 11 o'clock appointment for two people she didn't say a work back, so we sat down and waited (time was 10:45). We were seated at 11:15 in the pedicure chairs, water was started, and the woman went and sat down and started someone's manicure. We sat there until 11:40 and at this point the water was cold, and nobody had come over to start our pedicures. We got up, dried our feet, and walked out. No apologies were given, nothing. Would not recommend this place to anybody due to the rude customer service and unacceptable amount of wait time when an appointment was made a week in advance. read more

After asking several girls where to go for solar nails here in town, I was told by several Solar Nails on River Road. Well I'm a skeptic, which is why I was going on 5 weeks w/o a fill, I am SO tired of people who don't understand me and my simple, english speaking requests, and sick to deathe of the girls who butcher my hands so badly that by the time the scabs, swelling and cuticle burns have healed, it's time for another fill! Not so there, I walked in and was seated immediately, the girl was gentle and concientious, paying attention to me, and not chatting on her cell phone as she worked (I really hate that). When a new customer came in, she spoke with them for only a few moments, and din't just saw away at me as she did. She was careful about insuring the length and shape that I wanted, quick and efficient and the nails were smoth and nicely coutoured when she was done. PS, no cuts or cuticle damage, she didn't friction burn me and she understood my english just fine. Hooray for Solar nails and thanks to Tammy, Sarah and Jane who gave my the clue. read more

I called in to make an appointment with Bea. She does several of my coworker's nails and I like the way her sets turn out. I was told that I could come in but Bea would have to see if she wanted to do my nails. Apparently they have some sort of selective service here??? If my money isn't as good as the next person's I will most definitely spend mine elsewhere. read more

Tina Dang who owns the store is a very friendly woman as is the rest of her staff. They are very attentive and are very delicate on the hands. The prices they charge are not ridiculous at all, for a manicure it was only $8 and an eyebrow wax was the same price. I enjoy going to this place for their service and for the affordable options. I notice however as of late I have to wait more often because of customers constantly coming in for treatments. read more

I opted to give this place a try because my normal nail place didn't have any openings. Not only was I late fo be helped even though I made an appointment. My nails didn't start for nearly 40 minutes after I arrived on time. My nails are all different shapes and sizes. None of them are the same thickness. I literally have acrylic hanging over my nails that I had to file off myself... please do yourself a favor and spend the extra money it's 10000% worth it. read more

Nails are well done and they're friendly. However...it's guaranteed for everyone to wait 30 min past their appointment time to start. It's getting very frustrating to be there 90 min when it should be in and out with an appt. read more

One of the best nail salons. They can literally do ANYTHING!! Just show them a pic or tell them a idea!! They're amazing and it's also a fun environment. For a full set and gel nail polish it was $45! Amazing price and quality is always awesome! I highly recommend. read more

This is my second time going to Solar nails. This time I wasn't happy with how rough the lady was. She cut me multiple times, one cut got bad and it started to bleed. At first she apologized then she was blaming it on the file. Wasn't happy because once I got home every time I touched anything it hurt. They need to be more careful because infections can happen easily. read more

Solar Nails - The lady cut me on the side of my nail. She apologized at first, once blood came out she blamed it on the file and kept going. - Nail Salons Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

I am rating because of the following: 1. I have been a client for 2 years complete with tips! 2. 6 months ago my REGULAR acrylic fill (not pink and white)went from $30.00 to $35.00 with no notice 3. Just two days ago my REGULAR acrylic fill (no pink and white) went fro $35.00 to $40.00 with no notice. Again, just plain regular acrylic fill. 4. They almost ALWAYS start 1/2 late even with an appointment. I have meetings to keep and have to re-schedule a lot because they cannot seem to start on time. 5. Often times the dremel is set too high and they cut into my cuticles which are super sensitive. I mention this each time but apparently American English doesn't always translate. I called the woman who answers the phone most of the time and told her unless they refund my credit card to the price advertised to consumers I will file a complaint against them. read more

This had always been my favorite place to have my nail done - they do a great job, the price is reasonable & most of the staff has been very nice to me over the years. But I won't be back during the Covid restriction and may never. Yesterday I had an appt after a long nail hiatus due to covid. I was very disappointed on how they were handling the pandemic. They had expanded their space but still there was no social distancing, I was placed right next to someone that was a "guest" of another customer (should never have been allowed) and I had to wait almost 30 minutes before my appt started (if I had known I would have waited at least outside). I was also amazed at how many people were allowed to congregate in the lobby area (which is not more than a 10 x 4' area) and wondered why people weren't complaining - I at least was sat down away from the main front area. Most every nail station was full and I counted at least 45 people in the business - a very busy business - definitely like pre-covid. They even had a table set out with their nail color samples that people could pick up, look through and set back down. I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't walk out when I saw what was happening! The only part I felt like they did that was new was have everyone check in and provide name, address, phone, and answer a few covid-related questions. read more

Horrible service. I even told the owner I was writing a bad review and she just said ok. Crooked nails. Improper cutting on toes. Waster of 93. Cost way too much for poor service read more

UPDATE: After ONE WEEK the polish on my thumb is coming off of the acrylic. So disappointed!! Will find another place to go to for my next fill. I came here after I had 2 people tell me this place was the place to go to. I'm very disappointed with the quality, especially after seeing all of the pictures they post on their FB page. I had higher expectations than what I received. False advertising almost. I called ahead of time and set up an appointment, they took my name and everything. When I arrived there were a lot of people waiting in the chairs at the front (very crammed btw) and none of the nail techs acknowledged that I walked in and one nail tech said to "sit and wait"... about 10 minutes later I was told to sit at a table and someone that walked in after me was told to sit by me. We sat there for 5 minutes and then was told to move to another table. The lady then started on the other girls nails, when I had an appointment and at that point it was 25 min past my scheduled time. I then got pulled to move spots AGAIN by another nail tech. This lady was very short with me. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and the color. I did ask to switch from the acrylic nail to their "solar" nail (hardening gel, my friend gets) and she ignored me and continued to shape and shorten my acrylics. She did do a good job on the length and shape. On my thumb though she filed so much on the one side that she went down to the nail bed and when I flinched and moved my hand (in pain) she didn't care and grabbed my thumb again and kept filing. I asked for chrome on one nail and full sparkle on another, but light blue instead of grey (in the picture I showed her) and that is NOT wh. I could tell she was very rushed and was trying to get me out of the chair for the next person. read more

Solar Nails - Expectations vs What I received - Nail Salons Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

Salon was very dirty storage areas behind nail technicians were very unorganized and dirty. Nails shaped unevenly, couple of tips glued on crooked when I advised her she said yeah I'll fix and then she kept applying acrylic powder and did not fix them, some spots were missed with acrylic powder, sloppy application by cuticles and underside of nails were not cleaned up so I had to get my electric drill at home and file out chunks of acrylic myself. Overpriced for what you get only giving 1 star because staff seemed nice. read more

This is the best place I have gone in the Salem Keizer area.. and I've gone to A LOT.. however, I only go to Heidi. I've gone to another lady here and didn't like them. She always works with me considering how picky I am. I will always go to her now I love my nails every time. They are surprisingly affordable as well! The only con is that even though I make appointments every time, I have had to wait like 30 minuets after my scheduled time because she was working on someone else. This has happened 2 times now but I don't mind waiting since I'm happy with my nails. read more

I loooovee how my nails came out. I came to Solar Nails after a couple of friends visited and liked their nails. The place does not look very clean at all but they do amazing work. I was in and out in less than 25 minutes! That was crazy fast for a fill, and I looove how perfect the shape came out! I will definitely come back here as their service, skill and price are winning! read more

I've struggled a lot with hearing hype about salons and then I go in and I'm not happy with what I get but I was SO happy coming here and will be back. I went in to get a fill and wasn't sure exactly what I wanted so the lady grabbed multiple different colors and swiped each of them on my nails so I could see what I liked the best. Also, she even offered to fix the coffin shape because the person at a different place that had done them before had messed up the shape of my nails, but she was very precise and gentle. Employees were super sweet and I was out in less than 45 minutes. This is what I ended up with, I can't wait to go back Jen did mine- she is the best!! read more

Ive been here before and was turned down because of how busy they were. So yesterday I stopped by because my regular pedicure spot was booked. The place was pretty packed but my wait time was no longer than 10 minutes. When I first sat down I asked how much pedicure was the lady who help me said it was $22. She did a decent job on my feet I get better pedicures at my other place but I wasn't complaining. Right after my pedicure I went to go get my eyebrows waxed, The lady burned me with the wax. I'm the type of person that doesn't like to argue in public especially with a group of people who speak another language and you can't understand. So I decided to not say anything and just pay. $22 +8 dollars is $30 when I asked how much I owe she responded $33. Three dollars more is not a lot to argue Over plus I wasn't going to tip her because she had burned me. But it makes me mad that they say one price and when you leave they try to overcharge you for their bad work. Probably won't be going back again!! read more

Solar Nails - Daughter mother nail day - Nail Salons Near Me - Keizer, Oregon

Came here as a last minute resort to get a mani/pedi before a wedding I am going to attend and they did a horrible job. My pedi looks like my 6 year old niece did it, it's not smooth, but bumpy and uneven. I was hoping my manicure was going to be a different story, but it wasn't. I got French tips and the white nail polish doesn't even come out to the tip on my nail. (I'll post a pic.) I've been here once before and didn't have a great experience. I'll stick with going to This ones 4 you on Lancaster, over by IHOP. They have way better service, the price is better than this place, and you get an amazing job done. read more

I've heard so many positive things about this place & was amazed to see all the different designs that they are capable of doing. After going there & also requesting a much more complex design, I am pleased to say that I am not even the slightest bit disappointed. I wish I knew the name of the lady who helped me, she was very careful & patient throughout the whole process not to mention very willing to fulfill whatever design I chose which I really appreciated. They really outdid themselves & I am very impressed. I will definitely continue to recommend this place to others. read more

They do very nice work but the customer service is horrible. I made an appointment two days in advance. They never ask for a name so I don't think they even write it down. I said I was free all day and they choose the time that was best for them. When I arrived there were tons of people waiting and no one greeted me. I had to find someone and tell them I had an appointment. I then waited for 20 minutes past my appointment. There were still three people in front of me. I left. This is the third time this has happened. Why make appointments???? read more

I came in last Friday for an appointment for a fill. I asked the nail lady to refile/reshape the nail, because from my previous experiences I was told to tell them before they put on the polish. I am a Vietnamese person myself, and when I went this older lady with glasses was talking shit this entire time in Vietnamese. The worst experience I have ever had. Getting my nails done is suppose to be an enjoyable experience. This was definitely not. On top of that she cut my finger and kept complaining about how tired she was. I do not recommend, there are so many other places in Salem & Keizer I would rather go to. read more

I have been coming here for years. I have tried different salons but the quality of products just isn't the same. Don't get me wrong, this place only gets 3 stars for a reason. Here are the experience: When you walk in, do not expect to be greeted. Sit down and just wait. The best you can do is hope they see you. If you talk to someone and let them know why you are there, you will start chattering between the employees in Vietnamese that is clearly about you. You will then be responded to with a "ya, sit down". This is where your 30 to 40 min wait begins. Bring some games or something to keep yourself entertained. Once you make it to a chair, you will then be given colors to pick. After a solid 5 to 10 min of sitting someone will slide up and start. You will sit quietly as your nails get done. Once in a while you will get someone who actually talks to you. This person is a unicorn, get their name. Hopefully they will still be working there the next time you come in. Your nails will look very nice by the time it is over. They stay on, the polish lasts and you could go about 3 weeks before you have to go back. If you have natural nails, DO NOT GO HERE. They will sand down your natural nails with a drilling tool. This is so bad for your nails. If you get artificial nails, you are good. So, overall this place isn't bad. There is a lot of room for improvement but for now, its the best place in town. read more
