Done in good time. But nail cracked 3 days after :(. Also milky color on French tips no. Should be light pink (as she said it would be) Or clear. read more

Wanted to love it! Tried a new place and was excited about location. Had a mani/pedi with regular nail polish (not gel). The final polish on nails and toes is terrible - streaky and not even across nail. I tipped big as I always do, but got home and looked at nails and was very disappointed. read more

I asked if they accepted walk-ins and they said yes. What they really meant is that they accept walk-ins only if the job is simple. I made very clear what I wanted, matte hyper-realistic extensions, and I was ignored by two different technicians. So I made clear what I DIDN'T want instead, which was pink nails, and suggested a brown color, as I felt I was inconveniencing them with my original request. They nodded towards the range of brown colors I suggested before giving me a range of pink to choose from. I told them again AS THEY WERE PAINTING THE PINK ON. I was ignored. I was the only black woman there. I felt highly disrespected and disregarded. They also insinuated that my husband (a white blond) was only a friend and when I corrected them, she said "oh" before immediately turning to speak Vietnamese to other technicians and they laughed. For some odd reason they also charge you for a disposable nail file separately and tell you to keep it with you if you don't want to keep buying it every time you go there. There's four other nail salons in this area. Save yourself the trouble. read more

Kind, and quick without feeling rushed. My shellac manicure (with the nail kit) ended up being 59 dollars which I think is a pretty good price. I really like how they turned out. read more

I went in for an acrylic nail removal, hoping for something not painful and not damaging to my nails. The lady literally just ripped off my nails using a plastic nail tip, a nail clipper, a cuticle trimmer, and her own nails. They did not care to take the time to soak my nails off and gently remove them. The process was far from gentle, extremely painful, and left my nails more rough and damaged then they needed to be. I could've done this process at home for free and with much less pain. Do not go here for nail removal. read more

The staff are wonderful, the vibe is warm and friendly. Lisa is an amazing professional. I followed her to this salon when she moved from her previous salon. I always get an amazing experience. I highly recommend Exp Nails and Spa. I always look forward to my monthly services. read more

My favorite esthetician is named V! she's the best and even fixed previous work. She's only there certain days tho!

My last outing was a 3. I'm not sure how this place becomes so pricey. I think its the upgraded pedicure, but it was $100 for a manicure/pedicure- yikes. I'll need to just pick the cheapest mani/pedis next time. The cuticle trim was pretty aggressive and the polish didn't last nearly as long this time around. May not come back, although I'm giving it a 4 as I had an excellent nail technician on my first visit. read more

I think it was the polish I disliked the most! Will try this place one more time but have them use a different brand of polish. The gel color I chose was a brand that they only had a few bottles on displace. Polish is very uneven. My nail are short and they glued the ends of the nail to my skin and the end were very rough. Had them fix that before I left but my nails look very messy and it's just day two! Looked better before I went in! One gal started my nails and another did the last coat and corrections. Have never been to a salon where the same gal didn't stay with me the whole time. My granddaughter had acrylics and they came out perfect and that's the only reason I will go back because she like her nails. read more

I wish I was writing a glowing review because they are extremely convenient, I liked the interior and the selection of colors was impressive. A few months ago I had a gel manicure at Exp and haven't had a manicure since. I am writing a review now (months later) because the nail damage they created is obvious. The nail tech removed my cuticles with an electric nail file. It bothered me when she did it, but I convinced myself I was overreacting and they would know better than to file away the surface of the fingernail. I was wrong. When my nails grew out they were flexible. My fingernails are always thick and sturdy so it was a very uncomfortable and unusual feeling to have my nails bend. The number one rule in any profession should be to do your job without being destructive, and the tech at Exp ignored that principle to save time. I won't be going back. read more

Such a great salon! They are so professional and you are pampered with wax and a hot towel - at least for manicures. Highly recommended! read more

Exp Salon - Shellac manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I went in last week with an appointment. It took 30 minutes until they even started my services (beyond my appointment time). In less than a week, 2 of my dip nails have lifted up and broken off. I went back in today to have them fixed and was told they wouldn't do it now. When there is an issue it should be fixed right away. I now have two nails that look horrible and am not sure when I will be able to have them fixed. Its really frustrating and not good customer service. read more

Clean and good service - just never run their appointments on time, so if you're on a schedule or in a hurry go to another nearby salon.

I was seeking a nail salon that was still open and available for customers. I did not get good vibes from this salon. It was not inviting nor was it really clean. The shellac nail polish bottles were not organized and they had a limited selection. The nail tech barely said anything to me and the pedicure was meh. She probably spent maybe three minutes massaging one foot and a minute or so on the other. Prices were average. Service, under par. I would not recommend this nail salon. read more

Exp Salon - Regular nail polishes. Cheap brands and all. Some looking old and discolored. - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great place here. Courteous and professional people and also very clean. Prices are fair. And this is coming from Los Angeles where prices are typically less than Oregon due to steep competition. read more

Had acrylic nails done. They looked amazing, but 1 broke off (had a crack in the nail), and 2 others came loose. To get 1 nail replaced was $8 (not including the tip that is heavily imposed). I should not have had to pay for any nail that could not stay on securely for less than 2 weeks. 1st and last time going here. Overpriced. read more

No point in making an appointment. Got there on time for it and it was over a half hour before they got to us for our pedicures. The gal didn't talk to me at all. She was to busy talk to the other gal. The only reason I came to the place is because I received a gift certificate. Wouldn't came back here other wise . read more

Amazing service & they were able to work with my short small nails. The place is clean & the staff are super nice. I'll be back!

Good pedicure however they told us they had time and yet somehow it took almost 2 1/2 hours to do a 45 minute pedicure. They just kinda left us sitting for like 45 minutes with a foot mask on so they could finish up other people. I ended up being an hour late to my family dinner. Decent manicure, poor service. They were also very pushy about a tip and made my friend feel uncomfortable. read more

Staff is professional and talented. The salon is very clean and bright with no chemical orders. Price is reasonable. Highly recommend.

After a little bit of confusion with my appointment today I was able to be seen about 10 minutes after I was scheduled. The woman who did my nails worked very hard and did exactly what I asked her to do. I have gotten acrylics from many places but I will say that I have never had such a good experience as I did with this woman. The first time I came here was with my nine-year-old daughter and we got pedicures and she got a manicure and they turned out great so I wanted to give it another shot. It is safe to say that this is my favorite nail place that I've been to in Oregon so far. Thank you read more

My boyfriend and I went to this salon because it's been a favorite of mine in the past. We both got pedicures and It's been a couple weeks and we both are experiencing some inflamed toes. I've always known this location to be clean so I'm confused this is happening but it's tender to walk end he has two very red and swollen areas on his toes. This is scary because he's known people who have gotten such big infections and had to get surgery - places need to be aware and clean supplies. Hopefully this doesn't turn into something worse! read more

The ladies here were absolutely wonderful and did great work! They took care of me, my mom, and fiancé. We're not from Oregon so we had to take a chance on somewhere new and it worked out well. read more

Exp Salon - Happy hands - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I love love love this nail salon! My new go-to spot in my hometown of Beaverton. All the ladies there are amazing at what they do. They take their time and really ensure that your nails are to your liking. The atmosphere is clean and well-kept. They have free (and fast!) wifi available and there have been several times that I've dropped in without an appointment or called when I was down the street and they took me on the spot. I love them for that! I've never felt rushed and my nails are always on-point. There's no other spot in town that gets my nails as clean or pretty. I always get a shellac mani and sometimes a pedi and I've never been disappointed. I'm hesitant to write this review because I don't want other people to know about my little spot LOL but sharing is caring they also have a shellac guarantee that if your shellac chips you can come in and get it fixed without a charge (so long as it's within two weeks of getting it). I'm never going anywhere else! Thank you EXP Salon! read more

Stopped in for a pedicure here for the first time. I was offered a beverage and shown my seat. The salon was clean. The ladies were all super sweet. My pedi turned out perfect. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be back! read more

I have recently moved so I needed to find a nail salon closer to my house. I did my research and stumbled across this salon. The pictures were great so I booked with Tiffany. Best decision ever! This is the most personable salon I've ever been to. As soon as anyone walks through the door you are acknowledged and greeted by warm faces. Tiffany did such a great job on my nails! I love them and always get compliments. She gave a great hand massage at the end as well! Been here about 4 times now and will continue to do so :) read more

Haley is great - don't think I've had my nails look this good ever. Will be back for sure.

I love this Salon it takes care of all my needs. Waxing nails and toes! I get a great massage in their chairs while I am being serviced I am so happy with them I learned to call ahead and make an appointment because they are always busy. I have walked in before but to get in at a specific time I recommend calling in first. ALL the ladies there are amazing never had a bad service. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place read more

12/30/2020: When you first walk in, they make you check in through a tablet and then they have you wash your hands. This is great considering we're going through a pandemic. Place was clean and peaceful. Im giving three stars because I don't like the way my set came out I asked for Coffin shape but this is pretty close to the claw shape. The lady that did my nails took her time doing my nails, and said the total was $51, $1 for the filer and due to the holidays they have 20% discount on services. I paid $46, but 20% of $51 is $10.20, so it should've been $40.80 The lady did not charge me right because I paid $46, and the shape was not worth it. I won't be returning read more

Wow, what an amazing and thorough service. Finding a salon that does an excellent job, doesn't make you feel rushed and for a reasonable price is hard to come by. She even talked me out of dipping (would have been an upsell) BC she said my nails needed to grow In order to get the look I want, I appreciated her honesty. My gel manicure looks perfect, my cuticles are on point, that's one of the most important things to me. She also did a FREE paraffin wax treatment on my hands, I don't think I've ever experienced that. She was also very patient and accommodating to an elderly woman that I take of, I brought her along as we are always in need of quiet activities outside of the house. She brought her a hot cider and was patient when I needed to stop to attend to her. read more

Best experience I've had with dip nails. They take the extra time necessary to ensure it's done correctly so they last much longer. They aren't thick and don't leave extra on the backside of your nail. Highly recommend! read more

Still going to this place:)!!! Love their service. Happy people and pay closely attention in details. read more

I really like this place! I just moved from CA a few months ago and u know how hard it is to find a new everything! I do not remember how I stun blend upon this place but I'm sure happy I did! Free wifi, complementary tea, massage chair, clean environment, lots of colors to choose from and friendly, professional staff! It's in this strip mall that is not very glam but they ensure that the surroundings are welcoming and bright. If you drive by and u are skeptical, give them a shot! Alright, that's all for now. Let me continue sipping on my tea... read more

I recently moved to the Beaverton area and found EXP Salon based on their awesome online reviews. I called the morning of to make an appointment for a mani / pedi, and they were able to squeeze me in for the time slot I requested. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly employee who took my temperature, asked me to wash my hands, and then had me sign a simple COVID 19 waiver. The gal who did my shellac manicure did a fantastic job! She was very thorough with each step of the manicure (including the hand/arm massage!) which I really appreciated. My nails look absolutely flawless and I couldn't be more pleased. Then, I has a phenomenal pedicure by a different, friendly employee. I chose the "deluxe" pedicure which included a sugar scrub, aromatherapy product used on my feet / legs with my scent of choice (I chose lavender), and paraffin wax. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing the sugar scrub and massage process of the pedicure was! I was in pure heaven LOL and she did not ever act rushed, even when several walk-ins showed up after me. Normally I feel a little self-conscious of my feet when I go get a pedicure, but the employees at the salon were SO kind and always smiling, so I felt very at ease! I'm already looking forward to my next appointment, and I definitely recommend this salon to anyone in the area! read more

This used to be my favorite salon and I would recommend it to everyone, but lately it has become very impersonal and their prices have gone up. If you go during a slow time, you might have a great experience, but during the busier hours it feels very rushed. One of the things I used to love about this salon is their great attention to cuticle care but now it seems just average. the good: huge selection of gel colors, hot wax included with service read more

Everyone that works here is really friendly and sweet, and they do a great job. My first time in they let me try Vietnamese coffee and gave me some to take home. Also - they are wonderful at doing nails. I asked for a stripe design and they knocked it out of the park. Love it!! read more
