I had my hair cut and colored by Alaina a few weeks back, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The salon doesn’t look like much on the outside, but the inside is surprisingly charming. I can’t believe how much I love my hair everyday! It feels so light and healthy, just in time for summer. The way she placed the highlights is simply stunning. My hair has so much dimension and contrast to it. The best part is how natural Alaina made my hair look as I transition from red to blonde. I will definitely be going back to see Alaina in 6 weeks for my touch up: D

I purchased a groupon for a manicure and pedicure. I called Liz several times to schedule an appointment but she never returned my phone calls. I eventually just called groupon and got a refund.

Alaina was great. She understood what kind of hair cut I wanted and got it right the first time. No adjustment needed. It’s very rare that I leave a salon not feeling like I could have done a better job at home. Definitely will be going to her from now on!

This review is for their Tigard location. I had an appointment on a weekday at 4:30pm and there was nobody except the caucasian lady who had to do my manicure(groupon) and pedicure. First the pedicure: my feel were not properly scrubbed and the whole pedicure process ended in 10 minutes! The worst part is my nail paint chipped in 2 days! I didn’t do anything crazy, just regular sitting at work all day and coming to work and it chipped! Now the manicure: The lady was REALLY fast and left areas on the sides. I made her touch up the nail paint but I found more left out spots when I went home. Bad job on base coat and top coat. And surprise!!! nail paint chipped the next morning and slowly in 2 days nail paint from all nails started coming off. They use OPI but may be they dilute it or something. Never going to get fooled by a cheap deal. What a waste of time and money!!! Side note. the lady was very friendly and talkative but I would have appreciated more if she would have done her job better.

Oregon Nails is such a fun, great place to get your nails done. I went in with some friends for pedis and manis. Tami is simply amazing and will make any mani pedi an experience!

I had a wonderful mani pedi experience here! Very nice, pleasant, and funny ladies that put you at ease and do great work. The salon is very clean and reasonable priced. I am definitely going back!

I was very happy with the work they did and the ladies working there. They were very nice and seemed very happy to work there. The pedicure was one the best I’ve ever had. My feet are callous free!

I have to say that the 5 star rating is being given due to the pleasant, funny, wonderful people that work here. I have never been to a nail salon where the lady who is doing my nails talks to ME, not to the other person next to her, in her native language. You have no idea of what is being said — sometimes that can be rather un-nerving. Davy Uth is a new permanent friend to me!!! She was amazing — didn’t rush through the mani or the pedi. She connected with me through a very pleasant conversation about life — I almost teared up a few times, because she was so sincere in what she spoke of — a very wise woman! She did a wonderful job with the massage on the arms/hands, feet, and then she surprised me with a massage on my shoulders and neck — I was in heaven! Oh and it gets better — she shared with me some cambodian soup that she made… you can’t beat that!!! Overall, my experience at Oregon Nails was fabulous. I was not expecting such a great treat — not only being pampered, but also making a great friend for life!

I rarely ever write reviews, but I simply had to for the ladies at Oregon Nails. I bought an incredible deal on Groupon and expected the salon to be mediocre. It’s in a somewhat strange part of town, located right next to a bar. This made me expect even less. The women sat my friend and I down for Shellac manicures and started talking to us about life, rather than speaking to each other in a language we couldn’t understand. They spoke to us about their top-notch training and their recent purchase of the salon(yes, it is under new ownership). They infused some wonderful humor into conversation that made our experience even more pleasant. Not only were they incredibly friendly and funny, but they did an excellent job. Easily the best manicure that I have ever had. They never made it seem like they were in a rush, and paid close attention to every detail on our nails. They also massaged our arms and hands for a decent bit of time! All in all, these ladies are so wonderful. I was so pleasantly surprised. They certainly gained two regular customers, despite the fact that their salon is a decent distance from my home. I just love them that much! I fully recommend this spot. *Update! The manicurist that did my nails when I wrote this review has since left. Now I go to Ming. She is just as wonderful and pleasant. Highly recommend!

I got a regular manicure here with Ming, the owner. If you’re looking for a long, relaxing mani or pedi with a nice massage, this is not the place for you. The whole appointment took 15 minutes. She did a better than fair job, so if you’re just looking for a quick clean up and polish change at a reasonable price($ 15 for regular mani), then you’re barking up the right tree. I usually just get clear polish because I destroy mine so quickly, and she only applied ONE coat. That is unheard of at most places. For context, she knew I was using a Groupon, so it’s possible she wanted to get through my appointment quickly, but I was literally the only customer in there. The biggest plus I’d give them is on cleanliness. The salon itself is very clean and tidy, but they also have their instruments sanitized and then individually wrapped until they’re ready for use. I won’t be back because I get manicures as much for the relaxation as the treatment of my nails, and it’s just not happening there.

I got a pre-wedding mani here and it was cheap and quick which fit the bill for the kind of day I was having. However, if I was hoping for a relaxing or pampering kind of treatment I would have been disappointed. If I need a quick polish change I think this is the kind of place I would go back into.

I went in on two separate days for different services. The pedicure still looks great after over a week, and I had a great conversation with the lady who owned the salon. The other day I went in for some waxing and worked with another technician, who was equally friendly and extremely professional. I’m very happy with the services I received, and will be back, even though the location is not convenient for me at all, as I usually spend my time in NE Portland when I’m visiting. It is worth the trip.

I moved to the area from Seattle and spent 3 months trying to find a nail salon that was clean and professional. The salon is spotless, the instruments are individually sterilized and packaged for each client which I had not found at other salons. They offer a wide range of products including a new gel strengthener which I’m liking. Ming and Da are both friendly and knowledgeable about products and services. I’ve had manicures that have lasted almost two weeks which longer than usual. Definitely recommended!

They offer pedicures starting as low as $ 17, which is a killer deal. Both ladies working were very nice and they gas some awesome colors to choose from. I got the lavender for scrub which smelled incredible, however, there are some cons to this review. Usually my feet feel soft for a few days after my pedicures, but mine felt rough the very next morning. I didn’t feel like they scrubbed or massaged as long as some other places I have been and that’s half the reason I go in the first place. Also(no fault if theirs necessarily) but my massage chair didn’t work, which makes me a sad panda. Great ladies, great colors, and cheap prices, but lacking in overall relaxation.
