I very rarely get my nails done, but when I do, I am headed here! My gel manicure lasted an extremely long time with no chips (at least three weeks) and I only got rid of them because my nails grew out too much. I will note the mani online was listed as Shellac but I don't think they have that name brand, but tons of gel colors. read more

I've been coming semi-religiously to DD for the last four years or so.. and I have to say.. after trying out multiple nail salons near by.. these ladies are the best of the best. Gel manicures may not technically be the best investment for the overall well being /health of my nails but I'm turning my head for now and just enjoying how stunning and perfect they look when I walk out of Dashing Diva. The process is fast, the ladies are so sweet and so professional, and the price can't be beat. I feel like it's my secret nail salon but I also don't wanna gate keep.. five outta five stars! read more

I've been getting builder gel manis at DD for almost a year now and feel so lucky to have found this spot! Everyone is super nice, Lana is incredibly talented and gentle with my nails and helped me find the right kind of manicure for my nail type and lifestyle (now my nails last beautifully even though I put them through hell with bike repairs, pottery class, weightlifting, you name it). Clean, friendly, and they do incredible work. I truly can't recommend this place enough. read more

Took a family member here for a treat that was a disaster. The gel nail manicure they did wasn't just terrible, they cut her cuticle so it bled & when they removed all the clumpy gel her nails were left extremely thin and short. The redo was still horrible. They apologized, but charged full priced & were upset I didn't tip. My gel nails were fine, but we were there for over two hours trying to solve the problem. What should have been fun ended up doing damage to her nails. So disappointing. They did give us coupons at the end but no way are we ever coming back. read more

I've had my nails done for the last four years at Dashing Diva. The salon is clean and peaceful and the girls working there are all top notch. I know when I get a a dip manicure or pedicure, it's going to look professionally done and lasts longer than other salons I've been to. Give Dashing Diva a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I went in yesterday to have a gel set removed and a full acrylic set put on as a little treat for myself & i am very happy with how the nails turned out! I brought an image of what I wanted and the team worked together to make my dreams come true! Michelle was lovely to chat with as she removed my original nails and put on the acrylics. Very thankful! The whole time X factor greatest hits was playing which is a fun vibe to watch or listen to while relaxing read more

This 's the first time I came to this nail salon, I'm satisfied with their service, friendly & very clean, I'll come back next time.

BEST IN PORTLAND! I've had acrylic nails for over a decade. Without question, this salon is the very best at what they do. Best pedicure I've had, consistently beautiful acrylic nails, and I can always get an appointment the same day I call. Do yourself a favor and go to Dashing Diva Nails! read more

This is an updated review for this place. I came here yesterday and was choosing out which color I wanted. Every time I come here I always get regular polish for a pedicure and gel for a manicure. Every time I say I want regular polish, I get pushed to get shellac. Each time I say no the nails techs start talking amongst each other and laugh maliciously and press me again to get shellac. Yesterday was by far the worst experience, I kept getting pressured then laughed at when I said no and then pressured again. They always try to up sell me and don't seem to take no for an answer. This has always been a thing here. Yesterday, since the salon was empty, I had two people working with me. One doing my pedicure and the other doing my manicure at the same time. While I had my feet in the wash bowl the nail tech doing my manicure started pointing at my feet, looked at me, then started talking to the other nail tech and started laughing. I felt incredibly uncomfortable I almost got up and left but couldn't since the service already started. Granted I should've left regardless but didn't. My level of discomfort was very high and I think one of the nail techs realized this because she kept asking me if I was ok. I sincerely wanted to leave because of how uncomfortable they made me feel. I do not suggest coming to this place. They will talk poorly about you to your face and take advantage that you don't understand the language. I see this happen with other customers all the time here, not just me. I will never be coming here again. read more

Amazing quality and really sweet staff! I went here with my mom and it was quite relaxing and they were very patient. Would definitely recommend! read more

Was really disappoint with the attitude the staff. Their communication was rude and curt. Once the pedicure was done they wanted me to walk across the shop bar foot to a sit at the drying station. I refused to walk barefoot so they gave me hand towels to shuffle across the room on but were not happy with me for asking. My niece got an acrylic set. There was acrylic up her fingers that was not cleaned up well. She was having to scape it off. I would not suggest going and I won't be back. Their are plenty of other options in the area. When spending $160 for two pedicure and a full set, I expected a better experience and quality. read more

My bf surprised me with a pedicure date at dashing divas nails! I desperately needed one and it felt so good. The salon is clean and doesn't smell too strongly of acetone (but it does a little bit). I felt pressured to get the deluxe pedicure (#2) vs the regular by the employees, but it was a good idea since that one included callus removal and more massage. The pedicure was nice- I got the standard soak, gel removal, callus removal, lotion, hot towel and hot stone massage all while enjoying the massage chair. The shaping and grooming of my toenails and feet was fabulous and they still feel so soft! The hot towel was left on for awhile after it got cold, but otherwise everything felt great and I think my nails looked GREAT! Very festive for Halloween. The salon is definitely pricey. For my pedicure, nail polish removal and buying a new file I think was close to $60, so I think there are probably cheaper places! This is a convenient location though especially if you tan right next door. read more

The ladies are so kind and make you feel welcomed every time. I always walk out with beautiful nails and toes. Highly recommend them!

I arrived at 6:20 pm and the owner said she could not change my nail color because it was 40 minutes until closing. I walked 20 minutes to get to the nail salon and I thought that was not very nice of them to refuse service although it says walk-ins are welcome. read more

Customer service was horrible. No one could service me after asking twice. Let me remind they take walk-ins.

Great experience. I got a dip manicure and the ladies there are very nice and have a lot of attention to detail. I appreciate that she never hurt my cuticles, which can happen when using the drill tool to get the old dip polish off. Everyone wears masks, there are plastic dividers so you aren't breathing all over each other and they take cards. The work is great and they have a zillion dip colors to pick from. She even shaped my sad short nails to a lovely squarish almond shape. Thank you!!! read more

Dashing Diva Nails - Natural gel nails with chrome powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I have been looking for a place that can do a good job with powder nails. This place not only did a bang up job on my manicure but they even do various designs with them AND I think their prices are reasonable. I am 2 weeks in and they are holding up and still looking fabulous. I'm pretty certain they will still be looking good for at least 2 more weeks. I came here on Christmas Eve and they took me right in and I plan on making this my go to spot. I also got a pedicure here and I was completely happy and satisfied and that's not easy to do with my feet. lol read more

I went here for a gel manicure twice. The first time, the woman filed the surface of my nails down quite a bit before applying the gel, but they were fine. The second time, instead of soaking off the gel, the tech filed it off with an electric filer. She filed it so much that my nail was almost gone in places. I can see my flesh and my nails are sore. I believe she did this to save time, since soaking takes awhile. They want you in and out so they can get as many customers as possible. They do not care if they ruin your nails or hurt you. Needless to say, I'm never going back. I had to soak off my gel and let my nails grow back to completely new nails before I can even think about getting a gel manicure anywhere. This will take months. So basically, I will have ugly weak nails all summer, thanks to the laziness of the nail tech at this garbage salon. read more

I wanted to love this place because it's down the street from my apartment but they have terrible customer service. They were rude and short with me and my sister the last time we were there. I unfortunately have more negative things to say than positive. I don't know if most nail salons are doing this these days but this nail salon always charges people for the materials (nail file, nail buffer, etc.). They tell you to bring it every time after you first buy it with them. If you forget it, they charge you for a new one even if you're an established customer. I also feel like they're always pushing me to get the deluxe pedicure even when I just want the classic. If I want a regular manicure, they're always pushing me to get with gel. They're just very pushy. Also, they always cut me or hurt me when I'm getting a pedicure and my pedicures are always crooked. They don't like it if you pay with card. They prefer you pay with Venmo. They prefer the tip in cash. Last but not least, I asked if I could get a Brazilian wax and the person in charge flat out told me NO because I was "too sensitive" the last time I was there... I felt so embarrassed. I am in the search for a new nail/wax place. read more

Need to update because of how happy I am! It's been a month since I've gotten my nails done with Lana and these nails are still in tact! No peeling and no lifting at all!

Will definitely be coming back! *last photo is after the one month * read more

Didn't have a good experience here because the stylist I saw was upset about my request to put nail dip powder in a separate container for each customer and then throw the extra away, as is needed and recommended to be sanitary for all customers. I won't go back for this reason. I've gotten a bacterial nail infection before from unsanitary nail salon practices so these kind of cost cutting shortcuts are a big red flag. read more

I am traveling for work and bc of the holidays I didn't get a chance to have my nails done before coming to the Portland area. They were able to squeeze me in last minute on 1/2/23 - even though we ended up still there well after 7pm (started my nails at 6:30) I didn't feel like the work was rushed at all. My nails came out super cute. Would definitely come again as I travel regularly for work. read more

Dashing Diva Nails - Chameleon cat-eye gel & plain gel (over acrylic fill) - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Terrible customer service. I went in to get brown chrome dip. They put black underneath as a base and the chrome was put on top but you could see the black around the edges. It looked chipped and quite frankly, like a 5 year old did them. And started chipping that night. I went it two days later to get the color changed bc you could see the black all around the edges and they wouldn't change the color and said id have to pay even though the same color would yield the same results because they weren't willing to change the black dip underneath to a brown dip powder. She told me that it chipped because I did activities and I need to wear gloves? I've never had this issue of dipping powder/chrome chipping. I asked if they wouldn't change the color and fix it if I can just take them off and get a refund and Lana said they don't do refunds even though she could clearly see they weren't good. She finally realized that it wouldn't work with the black underneath and changed the color but that was her realization that I was right, not her listening to me in the first place. Wish I would've taken pictures but I didn't think she'd make such a fuss about fixing my nails and I didn't think I'd have to write a bad review. Every other nail salon I've ever been to will fix something if it's only a day after. Even after she redid them, I said thank you and she just turned away and went on her phone and didn't say anything. All in all, I'm not writing a bad review bc of the chipped nails that looked bad, I'm writing a bad review because the customer service was terrible and rude after trying to get them fixed. Refusing to give back my money after I asked her to just take them off since she wouldn't fix it is crazy. read more

Dashing Diva Nails - Second time getting my nails done here.. my place whenever I'm in Portland - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The last several times I've been here, I left underwhelmed by their lack of effort, skill, and customer care. Any small design is a headache for them, and one tech in particular (can't remember her name but the sits in the back row) is very rude. My last interaction was with her was very disappointing: I came in for a fill and almond shape nails and she filed all of my nails very crooked. Like obviously leaning to the left. When I pointed it out, she rolled her eyes and barely fixed it and when I asked her again, she proceeded to hand me the file to do it myself. I was shocked and have never been treated like that before. No lotion after she was don, she just out oil on my cuticles and got up. This was the last straw for me. I will not be returning read more
