The owner Kathy has been doing my nails for almost three years now. Before she owned this shop I followed her wherever she went because she is so talented at what she does. She is not out to just make money but she really works hard at pleasing her customers ( and friends). She is so kind and considerate and makes every effort to be accommodating. Her over 15 years of experience really shows! The pedicures here are fantastic! And her nail art is so fun. She can do anything. Go try her out at her shop and you will see for yourself Faith M. read more

This place has been great before, and I hate to leave a bad review as the person doing my nails was young and kind. But this was $45... read more

The worst manicure I've ever gotten. I got a gel polish. It was see through and a huge gap between the polish and my skin so it looked grown out as I left. I booked an appt for myself and my daughter but the staff rushed through our manicures when two walk-ins came. We were in and out in 20 minutes. No extra pampering. Seems better to be a walk-in than and appt costumer but I won't be returning. read more

Expensive. Felt very rushed. Shellac is uneven and not attractive due to large lumps of polish on surface. Spent over $100 and will go to another shop tomorrow to get them redone. read more

I decided to try this new place close to my house. I'm so happy I did. This was the best manicure and pedicure I have ever had. The young woman who treated my feet was gentle and kind. The other young woman who painted my fingers and toes did a beautiful job. She was also gentle which I appreciate because the manicure I had prior to this place was awful and painful. I wish I had gotten the name of the one who painted my nails because I would choose her again! Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

I looked online and the time google said they closed is 7, so I called and booked for 5:30 for myself and my daughter. Upon getting there, their door said on Saturdays they closed at 6. They were 30 min away from closing, but we're incredibly accommodating. They were very sweet to my daughter as well. They also have a very delicate touch with handling both feet and hands. To those reading, please make a note that if you use a card to pay, you need to ask them to add a tip. Unfortunately, you can't add it at the end. Overall, great experience and I recommend them! We will be returning! read more

New to the area and I am on the hunt for my new nail shop. I walked to this place given that it's at the end of my neighborhood. I walk in and was greeted and asked about what service I was interested in. "Shellac mani and pedi works please". I was well over due for maintence. I was in a pedi chair in 10 minutes. The color selection is great, lots of choices. I choose a marigold yellow color. It's my personal favorite color. The nail tech says out loud in front of the whole salon to hear " REALLY! You want this color?!" Thank goodness I have thick skin and handled the comment like a pro. By the end of the session her reasoning for stating her dislike in my color choice was because she didn't really get brown people in the shop that often so fairer skin tones don't choose the color often nor does it compliment their skin tone...understood. The color was also praised by other patrons by the time I was finished. I'm an artist...I know my color palette! I experienced some nail trauma as the nail tech got a little too drill happy. I felt pain for the next 2 days. Total cost was $75.00 plus tip. Images are after two weeks...not too bad. But the breaks are because she made my nails too thin with the drill. I'm still on the hunt for a new nail salon. read more

Worst nail salon ever my daughters and her friends nails turned out horrible!! @ultimate_nails_ DON'T GO HERE!!!!!! They told her they don't do long nails and just cut them.. didn't ask them what shape they wanted nothing!! Then took my daughter's friend's phone out of her hand while she was texting her dad. My daughters said she didn't want to pay for the nails because they weren't what they wanted and the quality is SHIT!! They charged her $40 when they told her it was $25 over the phone then locked the door and held them hostage inside until they paid! I called them this morning to tell them we needed to work something out they disconnected their phone so I drove down there and called the police on them after they started screaming at me then locked me out of their salon! This was their money they got for Christmas I just wanted their money back for them! read more

I feel it is my responsibility for other patrons to know that this nail shop is hands down the worst in all of my nail experiences. I just got my feet burned in HOT WATER but the worst is the nail lady smiled and laughed when I said the water literally burned my foot. Not the smartest nor brightest one in the box! Has me put my feet into an empty pedi bowl then begins filling. First, cold water which is no big deal but then Scalding hot water. I kindly left. The vibe in their is razor sharp. I wouldn't step FOOT in that place and they should be inspected. Unkind...Karma read more

This is one of the worst nail salons I've been to. My friends and I went and got our nails and toes done and we had the worst service. They were disgusted and frustrated that they had to do what we had asked for our feet, and used dirty tools! Not to mention they used dirty tools on on our hands too! Our feet all got burned from the bags and cream they put on. We had told them what we wanted done for our nails and they completely did the opposite. We all have nubs for fingernails they did them so short. Not what we had asked done. Our toenails look horrible and we're probably gonna get foot fungus. Not to mention when we were leaving, the same towel that all our hands were sitting on, she came out when they were closing and a bunch of nail clippings fell out of the towel when she shook it. This place is disgusting and the vibes were off. Don't recommend going here. read more

This is my second time here and I'm not impressed. The staff my first time weren't very friendly and quiet honestly a lil rude. My second time was not any better, I received a very rough and almost painful pedicure. When I asked what services they offer for pedicures I was ignored twice. They seemed to have a regular in while I was and really only payed attention to her. Will not be coming back. read more

That was the best, longest, most enjoyable pedicure I have had in a very long time period. I floated out of there so I forgot to get anyone's name. They are not big or fancy. But they have everything you need. I've been to much bigger salons and felt rushed through the process and this was absolutely the opposit. Everyone there was lovely and no one tried to talk me into anything I didn't ask for. read more

Awful place. I went in to have my dip color removed. They charged me $45 dollars. They said $20 for dip removal and $25 for manicure. I did not get a manicure. They did not clean up my nails and I didn't get polish. Do not go to this place!!!!!!! They will overcharge you and no customer service whatsoever. read more

My first time here I posted a good review. I just took it down because I had my second nail appointment just now and it was a horrible experience. Ultimately the employee was arguing with me about whether or not she applied a top coat to one of my hands before applying lotion and oil to it. SHE first got scared she did not and was telling me she forgot. I then told her I didn't remember her applying it either. She then argued with me that she remembered she did. So, I asked if she could put a top coat on before I left just in case. AFTER she applied the top coat and dried it she told me the polish may lift, which it did. I asked her to fix it and she said it was my fault because I was pushing her to put the top coat on again when she already had and she didn't have time to fix it. I left very upset that one of my hand's polish is completely bubbled. The sad thing is I thought I finally found a place I really liked. Bottom line, she never applied the top coat and then when she tried it bubbled because she had applied oil and lotion to it and then blamed the entire thing on me. I still paid but left no tip. I wish I didn't pay at all. I hope this business learns from this review and you understand that the right thing to do for the customer would be to simply apologize that you made a mistake and fix it. If Yelp would allow 0 Stars, that's what I would have left. read more

Another wonderful pedicure and massage. I recommend this place for good service and relaxation.

Fair selection of colors. They can be hard when filing nails and smoothing them out. 2 times I've been here, my pinky always get file burns. Other than that, the end product is good. read more

Nice, consistent service. Clean and comfortable. I have been going hear along time and they are always friendly and efficient. Thank you!

Deeply regretful decision of picking this place to get a pedicure. I wanted a quick and easy pedicure but it just felt completely awkward the whole time i was sitting in the massage chair, Maybe it's me, but I actually enjoy a little conversation instead of complete silence. At least asking me if the water is warm enough, or the stones were okay. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier or what but I didn't really feel comfortable. Another thing I noticed is that they don't have an autoclave machine or their tools were not sterilized. I strongly recommend not coming to this business if you don't enjoy completely quietness and feeling uncomfortable the whole time. The ladies were quiet but it just felt as if they didn't really enjoy their profession. read more

I went in tired after work in desperate need for a pedicure and a pink and white refill. It was about 5:30pm on a Wednesday. They got me in right away and did a great job! Gel Pedicure was very relaxing and looks great, and the pink and white refill was very well done. She did it nice and short like I like it. Not many people do pink and whites and she did a nice job with it. I will definitely come back again! read more

I like going here because these Ladies pay very close attention to their work so they don't talk to you as often which is fine with me. I like to relax and enjoy the quiet! I usually call last minute before going in and they definitely do their best to accommodate to my schedule. The prices are affordable ($25 for spa pedicure) and you get for what you pay for. read more

I had a basic pedicure done here. The nail polish was not applied evenly, it looked bad. She didn't clean up some of the excess polish on nails. So disappointed. I used to go here regularly several years ago. I will not be returning and caution others who are thinking about going here. read more

Ultimate nails ..... What should I say about this nail salon. The esthetician Vee started doing the wrong nail shade on my hands, when I told her that the shade is lot lighter then she said let it get done. After the shellac polish was complete, I said that I didn't like the color she started showing rude behavior... also told me that she doesn't take credit card payments only debit card. To which I said there is no written payment thing anywhere mentioned. The lady made weird faces and told me to get out shouting on top of her head. Really didn't expect this kind of rude behavior from a service professional. Would I go again? Never ever!!!! I wish there was somewhere where you could file a written complaint. read more

I went for a regular manicure. The nail artist did a fine job trimming my cuticles but when a walk-in came in, she rushed through painting my nails. She acted annoyed when I asked her to redo 2 nails because she put the top coat on immediately after painting them, messing up the polish. My nails look fine, but not as nice as I would expect for the money I paid. I have been here many times and had good experiences but was disappointed this time. read more

Terrible place, the people here are scam artist. They tell you one price and then when you are done they will try to get you for more money. And they do a Terrible job, save your money, go someplace else. read more

My mom and I had a great experience here getting mani/pedis! The shop was clean and the nail techs were very kind and detail oriented. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The service here is poor . Rude treat customers terrible wont be returning. Unprofessional

I used to like this place for one woman that did my pedicure. Today they RUSHED through my services so quickly that a woman getting a pedicure was there longer than me getting my manicure and pedicure! The woman didn't even do my cuticles just painted over them! Then they charged my card twice and she said don't worry she voided it right away! It was a debit card so it takes several days to return to my account! The woman rushed so quickly through my services but had time to play on her phone! They overcharged me by $15 for my daughters services and wouldn't lower the price because I didn't tell them before even though I showed her how awful both our nails were! I typically tip $10-15 per person, so at least I saved by not tipping for the first time ever. read more

Relaxing and enjoyable morning pedicure! Friendly and professional staff every time I've been in!

Smaller but clean and neat salon on 185th and NW West Union. The woman who did my Shellac mani/pedi was efficient and my nails look great. We will see how they hold up. I've never had trouble with Shellac in the past, so I hope this is the same. The ladies working there are quiet and professional. Not a lot of forced chatter, which I like. Why not five stars? I felt a little unwelcome at first. I called two days ago for an appointment and still had to wait 10 minutes to get started. When I asked about picking a color, one of the ladies brought me only one tray of examples, with about thirty colors. I had to ask twice if there were more Shellac colors to choose from. There is definitely a language barrier here...though maybe that's my fault. I'll be back, provided the quality over the long term is good. read more

We made an appointment for 2 but still waited 1 hour, they overbooked themselves, other clients waited as well.. Luckily they put us in the massage chair... With water that got cold and pruny feet.. The pedicure was good. It's very rare that I tip under 20% but in this case .. Having an appointment yet waiting an hour without being told we'd wait.. And not Atleast being offered a discount or complimentary manicure.. I hate to say as convienient as it is to my house, we will not go back here. read more

One star because of customer service. My nails turned out fine but it took an hour and a half for the tech to complete a polish change on my solar nails. It took her a really long time to paint each nail. I appreciate attention to detail, but this was kinda extreme. I asked how much it would cost when I sat down, was told it would be $20 since I wanted my polish removed and new shellac put on. When it was time to pay, the price had been changed to $25. Wtf? Sorry, but that is not a way to gain the repeat business of a new customer. Also the technition at the station next to us was obviously sick, coughing everywhere and making no effort to cover her mouth. Very inconsiderate. People come to a salon to be pampered, not catch the flu or a cold. read more

took my Mom here as a pre-Mother's Day treat and she loved it. Staff did a wonderful job and were very friendly and professional.

I came here with my super pregnant BFF and the ladies were so nice! We called ahead to make sure they could fit us both in for pedicures and good thing we did because they were super busy when we got there. They did an awesome job on our feet/legs including the hot wax at no extra charge. The chairs were really comfortable and the 5 year old that was with us was welcome to sit in one of their massage chairs. They even gave us free flowers on our nails since my BFF was having her baby the next day! They did such an awesome job that we decided to get the manicures done as well, at $37 for both it was a great deal. This will definitely be our new spot as their services went above and beyond any other place we've been. read more

After being in the Portland area for 2.5 years, I have *finally* found THE place that gets my eyebrows right! I had no wait, service was quick and efficient & the price was right; what more could you want?! I will be returning to try the mani/pedi services and hopefully will have a one stop shop from now on! read more

If I could give no stars I would. I asked 3 times for acrylic fill and polish... she did solar nails and charged me 45.00 when it should've been 18.00... I will never go back and now will have to have them completely removed and redone. They act like they understand but clearly they don't or they are trying to take advantage. I should've walked out, that is my own fault. The color I picked wasn't even right. read more
