Clarissa K.

So out of town on vacay and my nails are a disaster so I Yelp the closest nail place and find this place. They get an extra star as they took me straight away without an appointment on a busy Saturday of a holiday weekend. They had nice color choices as well as preferred OPI brand. I sat down ala masked and the nail technician quickly went to work. Note she asked how did I want them filed and they are better than expected a perfect squared all the same length. I paid before the polish $15 for basic manicure and I made it even $20. due to the great luck of me getting in at the right time as well as a perfect manicure. After she lead me to the nail drying station. Of course I am always impatient but not a smudged paint-on on any of my nails.

Do not recommend for dip powder. After 3 days only major chipping on almost all nails. I've been getting dip for years and that's never happened before.

French Tip Acrylic Set

Exciting Nails & Spa was very accommodating when my car broke down on the way to my appointment. They allowed me to reschedule for later in the same day. My nail tech,Kim, was extremely professional and made sure I was satisfied at every step in the process of getting a full acrylic set. I would highly recommend this nail salon and will definitely be returning.

Beautiful French Manicure

I was very impressed not only with the quality of service, but also the prices! Staff was friendly, welcoming and took their time to make sure the manicure was perfect!

I've have tried for two months to get my nails done here but they either turn me away because I don't have an appointment or when I call to make an appointment there is no availability. Maybe next time...

Wanted to try a new nail place in Portland and Exciting Nails did not disappoint! They were able to get us in on the same day and were very friendly! Definitely coming back!

I have been going to this salon for about two months now and I have to tell you,I am totally happy with everyone there and the services I get. The customer service is fantastic, they are professional and make you feel like you're friends each time you visit. The price is more than fair and is a great value. I walk in stressed and leave feeling relaxed. Can't ask for anything better. Thanks for all that you do!

Bad a$$ red dip manicure
Abbey O.

Came here for a dip manicure. It was only $32, pretty good deal. A husband and wife team own the place, its got at least eight mani and pedi stations so pretty spacious inside. The wife was super welcoming, the husband though he started my manicure was a little abrupt and rude. The other tech, who finished up my manicure I unfortunately didn't get her name, took her time and did a really good job shaping my nails. I've never had a dip manicure before I like how bright the color is, but it definitely takes a lot longer than gel.

I was very impressed with the quality of the classic pedicure I got today. Very thorough exfoliating and scrubbing and great paint job. Very happy and will be back. At $25 you really can't beat that!

Loads of gel manicure colors. Great selection.

Grab a friend and take care of your hands and feet. They will treat you right. Best pamper day…read moreever. Book some time now. Men or women. You will not regret it.

This friendly spot has become my go-to for my mani-pedi: worth paying a bit more to spend time in a…read morerelaxing space that's casually stylish and yet laid-back, with the nicest staff who always do a great job. I'm still a traditional polish gal (no gel or dip for me), but they do it all here! I usually bring my own polish, but they also have great in-house options including standbys like OPI as well as a niche brand or two, including the quick-drying vegan brand Dazzle Dry (a $10 add-on, but this stuff really does last). You'll never feel rushed here; when you arrive you'll be asked if you'd like a coffee, tea, or glass of bubbly. Every aesthetician here I've worked with has done an amazingly thorough clean-up job along with exfoliating and massage, and in particular everyone does an amazing job with my nail tips to the extent that I usually get a week's wear on my nails, which I keep pretty short and bang around on the regular. Practicalities: you'll want to make an appointment--they do book up, and chancing it on a walk-in might not be an option. And parking on the street and in the lot across the street is metered and it's close enough to the Port to be monitored, so don't skip paying up.

I've been going to Akari for 14 years with a 6 year break when I moved to LA…read more Akari has a beautiful space on the second floor in downtown Portland. Front desk staff is always very warm and welcoming. This review, though, is about Zira, a Senior Colorist at Akari. I've known her for 8 years or so through Akari, initially when she was an apprentice. As a colorist Zira is warm, upbeat and patient, she is open to feedback, and in fact asks for it, and she's always fun to talk with!

I love Portland and was coming there for a week to celebrate my 60th birthday. I wanted to treat…read moremyself to a spa day not a mishmash of services that the salon would like you to buy but a genuine spa day. One that included a massage, a facial, a manicure and pedicure and a wash and blow dryer so that I could enjoy my evening out. That is exactly what Akari had in store for me. I was a little hesitant because the reviews were kind of a mixed bag. But my spa day was 100% amazing. From the moment I walked in to my massage and the manicure may have been the best manicure I've ever had. The lunch was not served to me in a bag, but put on a beautiful tray with real utensils and served to me like I was a valued customer. Everyone was so kind and I'm hoping to return with my daughter for a special day before she gets married. Thanks for making my birthday very memorable.
