Adore Day Spa

I came in at noon with 2 other people on a very busy Saturday. I scheduled a mani-​pedi; the signature pedicure, including the 25 minute massage, and a shellac manicure with nail art. Kenny was fantastic! He took his time, never seemed rushed, and had amazing attention to detail. He even apologized for how long it was taking, to which I insisted he shouldn’t. I have never walked out of a nail appointment so impressed. I will definitely be back!

I had a good feeling from all previous reviews that I was in a for a treat.
I’ll start by saying I was 15 minutes late to my reservation. I got caught in bad traffic due to a parade and called to let them know I would be late — they were totally fine with it.
I arrived and was seated immediately and given a choice of colors for both pedicure and gel manicure. LOTS of options– maybe not so good for indecisive me, but amazing if you have a go-​to gel brand.
I’ll echo previous comments and say the massage was my favorite part. Lots of quality time spent and it was extremely effective in relieving some calf pain I’ve been having.
The service itself is worth over 5 stars, and the quality of the manicure/​pedicure is impeccable. They also offer you a box with a buffer, file, etc that you can bring back each time you come. It was pretty neat to learn about it and I definite invested! I’ll absolutely be back in the near future.

AMAZING! My shellac lasts around 3 weeks without popping off or chipping. Each technician is so nice and amazing at what they do. I can trust that no matter who I get to do my nails, it’s going to turn out spectacular. I refuse to go ANYWHERE else and you should too! They are the best

Loved this place! Went with my sisters, they got pedicures and I got a manicure. The staff were all very sweet and the place didn’t have that overpowering harsh smell most places have.

Can’t say enough about this nail spa. They’re not only consistently giving quality service but they’re always welcoming and fun to hang out with. My friends and I live across the street from 3 other salons but choose to drive or walk 20 minutes to adore every time.
You won’t go anywhere else!

Since Bouffant in the pearl closed, I’ve been trying to find a new nail salon in the area since the Pearl is on my way home from work. I’ve tried a couple of others in the pearl and near my house (Hawthorne) but none compared… until I found Adore. This was the most thorough shellac/​gel manicure I’ve ever had. No bumps or bubbles or having to clip/​file away from my skin because of too thick and messy coats. Perfectly even and beautiful! It’s a little pricier than other salons but totally worth it AND they support a few local charities and other non profits! I’m definitely going to be a regular at Adore going forward.

Had a reservation for 4 mani/​pedi and 1 child and they called to let me know they were delayed. My nails and toes turned out amazing and I’m so happy with them. I was extra picky being the bride and may have annoyed Van but they turned out amazing. Not the cheapest place but definitely worth the money. All my bridesmaids nails were also great.

I’m wrapping up a «deluxe pedi» as we speak. It’s one of the best I’ve gotten, especially for the price. The massage portion is for real, y’all. I’m a professional ballet dancer so my feet and calves take a beating. These techs gave a good quality, effective massage that I have come to not expect at a nail salon. They’ve got tons of trendy polish colors, they are friendly and respectful and are professionally polished (bad pun intended). I’ve shelled out almost twice as much for a sub-​par experience compared to this. No one hassled me for paying with a card and they kindly suggested I keep my nail kit in the car for next time ;-) Worth every penny!!!

Adore is my new favorite nail spa! I get shellac every two weeks and it’s usually a chore, but not now. I look forward to seeing all the gals at Adore and the owners (Kim & Nam) make us feel at home. The champagne is a nice touch too :) They take walk ins but reservations are helpful. Thanks for taking great care of us xo

Being a licensed nail technician myself AND Vietnamese, I have pretty high standards when it comes to nail services, the nail tech’s and the nail salon itself. My friends and I have been to so many different salons around Portland but haven’t really found any salon that’s as good and attentive as this nail salon. This place is small and intimate, awesome location, they don’t rush with their services and gives you a REAL manicure (pushback and trims the cuticles unlike other salons who rush and just uses the DRILL bits to go over your cuticles. That’s a huge no-​no!). They also offer wine, has a TON of colors to choose from and didn’t talk about their client’s in Vietnamese in front of them.
Their prices are a bit higher but it’s expected since it’s located in the Pearl.

Favorite spa. Although this spa is new, my sister and I have been seeing Kim (the owner) for over six years for mani/​pedi and shellac. We have had high quality experiences every time– it’s very clean and all the ladies do awesome pedi massage. Their equipment and space is modern, chic, and relaxing. I have gone on a week night for a relaxing glass of wine and mani. I have also gone on the weekend with friends for champagne and pedi/​mani. If you are going on a weekend with friends I would recommend an appt as they tend to get very busy!

love this place! so glad my friend introduced me to adore. i’m not from portland, but everytime i’m in town on business i have to make it a point to swing by! definitely check it out … they seem fancier than other nail salons but their prices are just the same! they also do nail designs … whatever your heart desires! so get creative!!!
btw — book an appointment bc they can randomly get busy!

Worst eyebrow wax I’ve ever had. Paid $ 10 just to have to go to another place. Not even on either side and it looks like I never got them done. I do not see how this place has a 5 star rating. Very disappointed.

Had a perfect gel mani and pedi with wine yesterday. Van did my hands and the owner did my feet. They were both extremely nice and did a great job. The manicure comes with a shoulder massage, which is always nice.
The part that made me need to come write a review is that I went home and well after my nails were dry, I put on heels and went out. The pressure from putting my newly painted toes into pinching heels all night smooshed the polish on my two biggest toes. I went in the next day, and despite being really busy, they made time for me immediately, and even fixed the tiny imperfections on my other toes. All with a smile! They have definitely earned my loyalty!

I have been here several times and always leave happy!
Kim and Van do an excellent job and are consistently friendly and attentive. One of the things I love about this place (besides being clean) is that they offer OPI gel polish– hard to find here in Portland nail salons– most offer Shellac which doesn’t work as well on my nails.
Now that I’ve found Adore, I don’t go anywhere else in Portland. :)

Excellent! Staff was incredibly kind. High standards for cleanliness and service. Took their time on each service. Plus where else do you get a glass of wine during a pedicure? If I ever make it back to Portland again, I will for sure be returning here.

Popped into Adore today for a manicure and am absolutely thrilled with my nails! They had the largest selection of polishes that I’ve seen. I was with Kim and she did a great job. I’ll be back!

Easily the best nail salon I have been to! The gal did a wonderful job on my gel nails, and I not only got a hand/​arm massage, but a back massage as well. They were very friendly. I WILL most definitely be going back!

BEST manicure! I got my nails done here right before Thanksgiving. It’s now December 14^th and despite the grow out, they look great — no chips and the polish still hasn’t lifted off my nails. Not to mention they provide great service and a very friendly vibe. This will be my go-​to nail place going forward.

This is my new favorite salon. Can’t say enough great things about it. Its not one of those high volume, jam in as many people as you can and make them sit & wait forever kind of places. It feels personal, clean & inviting with friendly staff awesome chairs and wonderful technicians who take their time giving you great service. Had one of the best pedi’s of my life here yesterday. So glad to have found this little gem.

Don’t waste your time. This dime a dozen nail place will be out of business in no time. They serve multiple clients at once, no personal attention, hurried messy nails.

Absolutely amazing experience! My friend and I were visiting in Portland and came across Adore nails and had a relaxing manicure/​pedicure. Friendly/​clean/​cozy environment

This place is wonderful! Sincerely friendly staff, great service (beverages with your treatment), thorough job on my pedi (I have zero calluses and got a killer massage), clean space and soothing atmosphere. Can’t beat the prices either.

Had the BEST experience at Adore. I recently asked them to accommodate an 8 person pedi party for my birthday and they went above and beyond. Not only did they keep the shop open late for us, but they got me balloons, flowers and a slice of cake from Via Delizia in the Pearl!!! They played fun music, poured us wine and champagne and even helped us take photos of all the fun.
Our pedicures were great too. I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but it has become nearly impossible to find a nail tech who will give a good massage with intention behind it. But it was very apparent that these ladies cared about their work and as a spa service provider myself, I greatly appreciate that.
The entire Adore staff treated us like we were family and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for helping to make my birthday a memorable one!

Love this place! High quality service and the best mani/​pedi I’ve had in a long time. I’ve been back twice now and I’ll continue to make it every time I visit Portland. They really treat you like family, even surprised my mom with roses when I had mentioned it was her birthday. Great people! Kim and her team are the best at what they do and go above and beyond. Best services matched with amazing customer experience.

Best place ever! Everyone is so nice, the space is fun and beautiful and my nails always look amazing!

Adore Day Spa is beautiful, clean, welcoming and friendly. The nail technicians are very talented. Van has given me three of the most immaculate manicures & pedicures that I have ever had, and they have lasted longer than any that I had before. She’s amazing. 5 enthusiastic stars!

AMAZING experience!!! We were visiting from Seattle and wanted to get a pedicure, so glad we chose Adore!!! Super friendly and welcoming environment… and our toes look fabulous! We will be back on our next visit!

I can’t say enough good things about Adore and specifically Kim… She is by far the absolute best of the best! Not only does she excel at her craft but she offers the ultimate service and truly goes above and beyond. She cares about each of her customers like family and the salon is all about quality at the most reasonable price! I’ve paid close to triple the price elsewhere and never gotten anywhere near the quality and service. If you’re looking for top notch nail professionals that make you feel at home in the most luxurious environment then you need look no further!

Can I say «Amazing»? Can you really feel at
” Home” at a Spa? Everybody here has a genuine smile on their faces. The welcome is sincere, the sense of hospitality is far above standards. The expertise and smooth touch of Van put me totally at ease while removing rough callouses and reshaping the nails of my feet with the skill of a surgeon. I am hooked I be back very very soon!

Beautiful new nail salon in the Pearl! Just what the neighborhood needed! Great nails, a glass of bubbly, and a fair price! $ 40 mani/​pedi, yes please! It was just the best afternoon, welcome to the neighborhood! We will be seeing you often!!!

Beautiful nail salon! As soon as I walked in the door I felt very welcome there. Everyone was super nice. Plus the technician did a great job on my toes. Also its across the street from my work, I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Exciting new place! Great friendly people! Everything is new and comfortable. I drive long distance to see them!
