Nirvana Nail and Foot Spa

We used to love coming here and the people WERE nice. It has gone downhill very fast. First they raised prices and lowered their service and second they have several very rude techs who obviously do not care to be there. Our last two visits have been less than enjoyable and we left feeling a bit robbed. They do not file your nails evenly as they are always at an awkward slant. We went yesterday (which will be our last time) and I was left with a painful nail in addition to a cuticle that was ripped off instead of trimmed. They have gotten weird about the way tips are accepted too. Beware. There are many other places to go that cost less and are pleasant.

The lady was nice, kept up a polite conversation with my sister and I. The problem that I have is that she left a nice gap from my new nails and my cuticles. Two nails fell off within the end of the 2^nd week. It was not done that great. Which is upsetting since I spent about 45 dollars for them.

I’ve tried this place twice and have been let down both times. At first I thought I was just spoiled — I’ve been going to Princess Nail Salon on 39^th & Holgate for forever, they’re amazing, but now I live in Gresham. So, the big picture problems: they reuse implements — they don’t offer to sell you your own implements to take with you and bring back the way other salons do. Both times I went, my pedicure budged within a couple hours of leaving the salon, even though I’m always extra careful after getting one. Today, I called to make an appointment around 1 and they asked if I could come in at 4. I agreed. Evidently they close at 5, so I showed up 10 minutes early. My technician barely let my feet soak before getting started and from then on, I felt like she was rushing through it. Very cursory callous smoothing. My pedicure only took 45 minutes. Like I said, my polish budged about an hour and a half later. All this, and they charge $ 5 more than my usual place. Not worth it.

Met family here for a surprise baby shower get together, all techs knew I was the celebrant, yet I felt I was given one of the worst techs who tried to convince me to opt for the most expensive pedi (since I deserve it), but I wanted to test her out and see how well she’d do. First off, I chose the $ 30 pedi and didn’t receive anything more than a 5 (or less) min wax treatment for my callouses. Tech lady didn’t bother trimming my cuticles well, rushed through my pedi — massage sucked, she didn’t soften my heels at all! I didn’t want shelllac but paid extra for French tips and her skills were awful! I asked for a rounded nail and got somewhat square shaped ones with rounded edges and my French tips were not symmetrical at all! Plus, she skimmed on the amount of nail polish used (which most places do anyway), but for $ 60 total without shellac, she could have used just a drop more on certain places. They offer water or tea, but the water comes warm and in a paper cup. Lastly, the utensils are reused (red flags esp for pregnant me), and I saw one of the techs briefly sterilizing some used ones for seconds at a time! Don’t get me wrong, the tech lady that did my nails was somewhat polite, but it’s pretty apparent that she lacks a passion for her work. Despite the amazing reviews that made me give this place a chance, I doubt I’ll ever return!

What a lovely place! Everyone is super nice, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The prices r descent, and they are very organized. My boyfriend and i both got pedis and eye brow waxes for my birthday, and were very satisfied. We will be coming back! If your looking for a great pedi footspa, fo here!

Very good service and very polite. Almost always do a good job. Better then a lot of other places I’ve been and good prices.

Very lovely place! I am 39 weeks pregnant and needed a great pedicure and Nirvana rose to the occasion. Relaxing environment and the best pedicure I have had in a long time! I will be back for sure!

Annie is great… friendly and serves up a great pedicure. Establishment is very clean, beverage is offered while you relax. Will keep coming back as long as she works there.

Very good service :) offered me complementary drinks, didn’t get annoying with the up sale. Very clean, and organized. Usually nail salons are so messy. The look of the salon was very cute. Over all great experience! The only thing that they could do is get more options for their chellac colors. Thank you!

Even on a busy day they manage to give you the attention you need. Always clean and never rude. They take just enough time and yet you’re never there too long– plus the chairs are really nice for massage. But they might just be because they’re still relatively new!

I received the worse pedicure I have ever got at this salon… NEVER AGAIN!!! Basically they charged me $ 25.00 to paint my toenails, rushed me through the process with barely a massage, and did not work on my calluses at all. When I asked them about it, they told me it would be $ 37 for a full pedicure… What??? I had no idea I was not getting a full pedicure until he was finishing up. and even though I think $ 37 is a bit much for a pedicure, had they offered me this option I probably would have paid it. I usually only get pedicures for special occasions and this was one of those days. Very, Very disappointed to say the least!!!

I was refered to nirvana by a friend and am happy to report my nails are beautiful. Tim was my nail person and he was so precise in the application and shaping. He took the time to make sure they were perfect. That is rare for most of these nail places. I will be returning.
