Inspired by spring and all the greenery my son chose neon green for me. (Also happens to be his fave color). We kept seeing all the lime green Trimet buses passing by so we knew it was a fun choice! This was a nice discovery on a Friday afternoon and I'm happy the lady took my call for a late appt. Hong was wonderful and took her careful time to address my mani. Just got a basic mani this time around and may look at doing shellac next. Thank you! Having been around for many years now I'm glad I came through and will look forward to dropping by again. Atmosphere was clean and quiet and we enjoyed the seated area by the window. And son was even able to sit along side me and not be distracted by anyone. Cheers to green nails! read more

So easy to see why this place has such glowing reviews over a 15 year span! Kim is literally the best pedicure I've had for a long time and she is the sweetest person. The spot is so well kept and cozy and relaxing and clean. And not to get too into it but she actually got the dry skin off which I feel a lot of pedicures I go home and still feel like I could've done it myself? Rebooked my appt as a left. Can't say enough good things! read more

Absolutely the best nail salon...hand's down! Kim is a wonderful person and does excellent work. I have gone to many nail salons in multiple states and this is by far the only place I would recommend! read more

A quality experience. Small shop, very clean, very kind and relaxing atmosphere! Will return :) read more

I've found my forever nail-home Jenny was absolutely delightful. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. I think the pedicure was the best I've ever received. They're usually kinda painful for me, and this was not at all. She was so gentle and considerate and precise, and topped it off with a lovely little massage. The gel manicure is the best gel I've ever received without question--in the past I've been irritated by gel, because I can feel it on my nail and skin--this feels just like my regular nail but smoother and much prettier. I really enjoyed Jenny's company as well. She didn't force conversation, we just talked when we had something to say. I really appreciate that. I live in white salmon. This is worth the drive. I can't wait to return. read more

Definitely the best pedicure I've ever had at a casual salon, perhaps in any salon or spa, period. The amount of care that goes into the service is very rare. My favorite part of the pedi (besides how flawless my nails are) was the massage. She knew what she was doing! You know how sometimes you get a half-arsed "massage" and you feel disappointed? Not here. Above and beyond. My manicure was also flawless and survived two days in the Oregon woods, camping and galavanting. I'm going to give it a fresh top coat when I fly home. The prices were reasonable, and truly fantastic for the service you get. Masks are optional for vacc'd folks. read more

This is one of the best nail salons I have been to in Portland. Kim and her daughter in law are both so sweet. This is a family run business and they make a genuine effort to make you feel comfortable and like you're friends even if they just met you. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Support this family owned/operated business you won't be disappointed. read more

Maybe the best nail salon experience I've ever had! They got me in for a pedicure and full set in somewhat short notice and I never felt like she rushed at all. She did a beautiful job and was very nice to talk to throughout my appointment.

Best manicure ever! Very reasonable pricing ($25 for gel) plus got a great little hand massage too. Clean salon and very friendly women working there. Family owned and operated - the salon has been a SE Portland staple for the past twelve years. I will not be going anywhere else to get my nails done ever again!! Color in photo is gel #25 Update: I've been going here for a few months now and still feel this is the best salon in town! I love this place! read more

The last nail place I went to oversold their nail art ability and I left unhappy. After scouring through multiple nail salon reviews, Boston nails turned out to be great. Not crazy expensive like some other salons can be but also not dirt cheap, and they're really friendly. They did a fantastic job with my pedicure and gel manicure, which had little hand painted strawberries which turned out very cute for my daughter's strawberry themed first birthday party. They didn't peel until I needed to cut them down two weeks later, which is my fault and not theirs. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm new-ish to Portland and hadn't found a nail salon that I loved. When preparing for my wedding, I didn't know who to trust for a gel mani/pedi and was admittedly a bit nervous! I was also working with a tight schedule, and Boston Nails was able to squeeze me in... so I decided to go for it. They did a flawless job on both the mani and pedi. I've had a lot of mani/pedis, but I've never had someone put so much care and patience into it. The experience felt careful and not at all rushed. The prices were extremely reasonable for the quality, too. I'll be going back before I head out on my honeymoon in a few weeks! read more

Spotlessly clean and beautiful nail salon with massaging chairs, regular and gel services. Good service, too!

The sweetest women! Such a pleasant experience - so much attention to detail and one of the best manicures I have ever had!

I love this nail salon, everyone is so friendly, the salon is clean, they take their time, and my nails came out perfect! Will be returning to this salon for all my nail needs. read more

So friendly, caring, and great work for great prices, plus the salon is comfortable and welcoming. Nice selection of gel colors as well. This will definitely become my new regular place for nail work! read more

I'm visiting Portland and from the moment I walked in to this salon, situated on the bottom floor of a house, I was treated like a regular. Kim, who lives in the house and owns and operates the salon with her daughter-in-law, we're very welcoming. No one was distractedly looking at a TV or talking with one another. The clients were the focus. I started with the pedicure and it was detailed and unrushed, truly one of the more detailed and better pedicures I've had. The manicure was equally good and unrushed. I'm really glad I found this place. If you live here, this should be your spot. If you're visiting, stop in. I'll be coming here when I return. read more

First off, super cozy and welcoming energy. The owner is super personable and kind. She makes sure you're taken care of and attended. I will 100% be returning and recommend others. read more

Han (I may have spelled her name very wrong) did my nails immaculately and was super nice. Lots of gel polish choices. My sister is a nail tech and I usually do my own shellac because I am particular but I would not hesitate to go back again. $25 for gel polish/shellac, $2 more if you don't bring your own file, and $1 if you use a card. In my opinion, under-priced for the great manicure especially in Portland. Update: Sadly, my perfectly shellacked nails are lifting after only 11 days. read more

Kim has helped my feet tremendously! She was recommended by my naturopath to remove a painful corn on my heal. The corn no longer bothers me. I spend 40-45 hours per week working on my feet. Since seeing Kim regularly my feet have never felt better. They rarely are fatigued or painful. And I now consider my visits with her a vital part of taking care of myself! read more

First of all, Brandy's review is totally unrepresentative of Boston Nails. Read some of her other reviews on nail salons--she is a diva, by her own admission. I have been going to Kim for over a year and a half. Randomly, my first review was filtered. Read that, and the 7 other filtered reviews. Kim and her daughter-in-law Jenny are the best. Both of my sisters and my brother-in-law get pedicures, and several of my friends get mani/pedi's too. I have referred others as well. If you are embarrassed by toe nail fungus, have ingrown nails or are even missing a toe nail, she takes care of you. Everything is clean, sterilized and top-notch. read more

Going to Boston Nails is like a trip to grandma's house. The business is located in a quaint older home with a welcoming garden. Inside the shop is immaculate. Kim has recently added additional spa chairs to accommodate her new assistant daughter in law Jennie. Together they are offering complete nail and pedicure services. I would not consider going elsewhere. I read more

Kim is the best, simply said. In fact, I refuse to have a pedicure done by anyone other than Kim (unless it is an absolute emergency) but even then, Kim is usually able to see me. It is true, she is the only one - so you won't be able to have your nails done at the same time as your friend, but she has a fabulous magazine selection, so have a seat, catch up on your fashion, and have a nice cup of tea while you wait. read more

Kim is the owner with her daughter Jenny. I went here for convenience since I live close and often travel much further to get my nails done. The reason I was so moved to write a review is because in all my years at nail salons I have never had such intentional genuine conversation with the person doing my nails. It wasn't small talk, Kim spoke to me with love about her grandchildren and told me many funny jokes and stories. She also paid close attention to my nails and gave me many tips to keep them healthy. My nails look great, but that's just the bonus! The real reason to go here is the attention to detail, and the sweet spirit of the owner. I 100% recommend this place for wonderful nail service and great conversation! read more
