Today I went for the first time to this salon. I've tried several salons in the SW Portland area and I divided to give this place a try and loved it. My nails came out exactly how I wanted them to be. My technician really pad attention to my cuticles and to the health on nails in general. The service did not feel rushed but instead felt like she really was focus on details to ensure a good nail shape and look overall. Both techs at the salon were very nice, they kept asking if I was enjoying my service and offered refreshments right as I sat down. They have so many options for different types of gel nails that made the experience better. I got gel x this time and definitely will be back. Very reasonable price. read more

Always high quality. I usually do a gel mani and pedi. I've never had anything last so long. I'm pretty particular so once I've found something that does an amazing job I keep going. Annie and Dee are super great. It can get busy so I suggest making a good portion of your day available when they are understaffed. The early mornings are great time to go. Plus they have free drinks to help get you relaxed. read more

My favorite nail salon in Portland. Staff was super kinda and my nails looked perfect going into vacation.

I'm genuinely shocked this place has 4 stars. I came in with an appointment for a dip manicure, and the experience was disappointing from the start. The nail tech didn't know how to remove my existing dip set using the electric file -- she had to be shown how by another tech, and then they switched me mid-service. I assumed the second tech would be more experienced, but that turned out not to be the case. Throughout the appointment, she kept trying to push me to switch to gel, even though I made it clear I wanted dip. I originally asked for a French tip, but she said I could only choose one color -- something I've never been told at any other salon. I settled on a dark pink, but after two coats, it was completely sheer. When I asked if there was a way to fix it, she suggested trying a darker color with another coat of dip -- but even that ended up being see-through. I honestly don't think she applied it correctly. I've had dip nails for years and have never experienced this kind of result. Then she got upset with me for it still looking see-through, even though she picked out the color and clearly didn't know her own product. She kept applying more layers of dip, and when it was still sheer, she blamed the thickness on me for choosing dip instead of gel. Eventually, she applied gel polish over the dip to try to cover it up, which felt like a lazy fix. Within two days, the gel started peeling off in chunks, and it had a strong chemical smell. I was genuinely concerned it hadn't cured properly -- which can be dangerous or trigger allergic reactions. All of my nails were also different shapes and lengths and this manicure completely ruined my nails along with being cut under my nail and bleeding. I sat there for over two hours -- way longer than any dip manicure I've ever had -- and left completely frustrated. This was right after work, and it felt like a total waste of my time. The entire experience was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and disappointing. I won't be coming back and can't recommend this place to anyone looking for quality service or knowledgeable staff read more

Great service! Nice and clean, it smells nice - not chemical smelling. Love the massage chairs and the mimosa! read more

I'll just let the photos do the explaining. This was the worst $30 I've ever spent. I'm kind of blown away by how terrible this looks. read more

I would say this place is really hit or miss depending on the day and which nail tech you get. It is easy to get an appointment and definitely the price is good but sometimes they over book or don't say no to walk ins and aren't actually giving you a good service. When they are focused on you it does tend to be good, but often times you're switching between people because one doesn't do the actual painting and it doesn't feel like you've gotten a very good pedicure at the end. The lady who seems to run the place and paint nails does a good job trying to keep up with it all and she does paint well but I just wish they'd say no if they are too busy to do a good job. The one other tech we usually see also is a little rough and sometimes painful. It's unfortunate because we do keep coming back here and want to support here since it's a small business but it has gotten more disappointing each time. They do offer mimosas and other drinks which is nice read more

Such sweet girls me and my friend always have the best time love this spot. I stopped doing nails for a long time after some bad experiences but they have me hooked again read more

Love this place! Mimosa/champagne with your pedicure and my shellac pedicures last for 2+ months. Fair prices and conveniently located. Only suggestion is to play some holiday music :) read more

I have never been a manicure person, but Mimosa Nails has become a part of my routine! The ladies that run it our absolutely lovely, and the results are great. For $35, they simply cannot be beat. I'm writing this as I'm waiting for my appointment! I'm terrible at taking nail photos, but the green nails are after a few days (or maybe a week?) and the orange nails are after 3 WEEKS AND A DAY. No cracks, chips, nothin. Mimosa Nails is a business that you just feel good supporting! read more

Happy Spa Nails - Manicure, I need lotion, the manicure is great! - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

10/10 experience! I will be coming back for my monthly pedicures I found my spot. The women were so sweet & gentle, pricing was great, so many colors to chose from, & you can never go wrong with a complimentary mimosa! :) read more

My friend called and made an appointment on Sunday at 1:30, they said they could even squeeze us in at 1:15 if we could be there earlier - we could not. The appointment was for two manicures and one pedicure, three people with one service each. We arrived and they had trouble knowing what services we were getting and were confused. We finally got that sorted out and watched the four other people in the salon be helped by the two ladies working. We were nice and patient, and since I was the one getting the pedicure I was able to get my feet in warm water and get the massage on the chair going before we were actually helped. I inquired about a menu after we finally started to receive some service, about 30 minutes into it. She showed me the menu and told me the prices weren't right and that I would be paying $50 for a hot stone pedicure. Well, as you can see by my pictures, it's listed online at $40 and in store at $45. That is a major red flag to me. My pedicure started with one of the ladies who was in the shop. The next red flag was the use of Dawn dish soap on my feet. What the heck? Then the cuticle cutting was extremely painful and deep, I've never had that experience in all my years of getting a pedicure. Under the nail was not cleaned and the bottoms of my feet were scrubbed only with the regular file/brush. Then a mask was applied to my legs and a warm towel was put on. A younger girl walked in the shop and I found out very quickly that she would be finishing my pedicure. She had the stinkiest stink face I've ever seen in my life. She did not want to be there and it was more than evident. The original lady told me that it was her daughter and she made her come in to come help. It was written all over her face that she wanted nothing to do with that shop or me. She then gave me my paraffin wax and got the hot stones ready for the worst massage I've ever received while getting a pedicure. The massages is my absolute favorite part and that's why I usually get a better pedicure than the basic, so I can have a better massage. The temperature was off on the stones and they were really hot at first, and she was upset when I told her they were too hot. It was just a nightmare to be honest. We wound up being in there a total of two and a half hours again for two manicures and one pedicure. They did keep the champagne flowing for my friends which was nice, but my 8 oz water went very quickly and I was never offered a refill. Speaking of champagne, the lady who was working couldn't open it so she asked me to. The very last thing that was the nail in the coffin... a very nice black lady came in who had called and she was met with a very obvious attitude from the staff. She made eye contact with me and it was very noticeable that they didn't really want her in the store. She and I were able to exchange brief words and she went to another shop down the street. All I can say is, save your money and go elsewhere. And now I'm out $50 plus a 10% tip which was more than generous. read more

I've had the best and the worst gel manicures at Mimosa. Coincidentally, both experiences were with the same nail tech. The best was perfection, and it lasted two whole weeks! Unfortunately, after my latest experience, I will not be returning I called ahead and made a reservation for a gel mani on Mother's Day, for an upcoming event and to pamper myself. When I arrived, I asked to see the book of gel colors. When the mani started, everything went as planned, until the woman took out regular polish. I reminded her that I was getting a gel manicure, and was then chastised for "changing my mind." As she applied the gel polish, I noticed it wasn't smooth, but wavy, bumpy, even scratched on two fingers. She was rushing to put it on, telling me that none of the women wanted to come into work, because it was Mother's Day (I get it!) and that reservations like mine would be causing them stay longer. She noticed her poor application and said it was because she'd put lotion on before painting, and hadn't asked me to wash my hands. She made no effort to fix it. She said, "It looks good! It will last a long time. Two weeks!" The result was terrible. It lasted 5 days before it began to peel off. When I went in to have it removed, on day 6, I was told it would cost me $10. No thanks. Due to the unreliability of the quality and customer service, I will not be returning to Mimosa. read more

I showed up at the wrong place but glad I did. Annie was wonderful and did a great job on my nails. She really paid attention to what I wanted. Was fun and professional and I will definitely go back. I also had a pedicure and boy did I need that special treat. So friendly and the prices are really good and fair. read more

The ladies were very, very nice and accommodating to a walk-in. They were extremely gentle and detail-oriented, which makes or breaks a simple gel mani. The price was great as well ($40)! Would recommend! read more

Come here, not there. Professional friendly service. I am in town for a wedding, needed something wuick and cute for a bridal shower. 3 salons were "booked with appointments" (ie short staffed) but they were available. Then they treated me to a free glass of mimosa! Wonderful! read more

such a lovely environment with very talented nail artists. they were very accommodating and friendly.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR $, TIME OR CUTICLES on this terrible place. It was already rough when we got there and the lady (I'm assuming is the boss or owner) rushed us to take pictures. They turned out terrible because she just kept snapping before we were even ready. Their "massages" were pathetic. They promised cupcakes and hello kitty to the kids and they ended up with something that resembled a bear or a dog. Still debatable. Then the owner worked on my nails and cut my cuticle and made me bleed. Accident, sure, I totally understand, but then she called me a BABY!! You made me bleed and then mock me for saying ouch!?!?!? She was staring everywhere else BUT at my nails! All my cuticles hurt for the whole weekend and I kept spraying Neosporin on it. I noticed I didn't see her sanitize any of her tools! Then when it was time to pay, she started yelling at us for 20% tip. My friend gave her $5 because of the terrible service and job they did and she yelled "that's it!?!?!" and pointed at the $3 in her hand! She did that to 3 of us, demanding more $. Absolutely ridiculous. Not worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place EVER, to ANYBODY! read more

Annie did such a spectacular job with my nails, I can't stop admiring them! I popped in on a Friday evening and they were open and everyone was very friendly. I was hesitant to go to a salon during Covid but they have taken many preventative measures to protect clients and employees, including plastic shields. Annie helped me pick a color to go well w my skin tone, I was very impressed by how much effort and perfectionism was spent on each step of my gel manicure. I can tell these will last a long time! read more

Able to accommodate last minute appointment for 3.... did a great job, friendly and gave us drinks....

All I wanted was a manicure and a full set the lady stops me and my friend at the door saying they don't do full sets only dip powder and I said that'll be fine she said short or long I said long she said we don't do that. I said ok and me and my friend said we'd just get our toes and she's like sorry can't help so we literally just walked out and I'm just appalled. read more

Honestly..... probably the worst experience ever. First of all, it's not a very nice nail salon. Secondly, please do not throw my hands around, I am not a rag doll. Also, please, lose the attitude. I hate when I come in a salon bright and bubbly and they just have the worst attitude. I don't get it. Do you want customers, or not? I understand everyone has bad days but at the end of the day these are all potential clients and they need to be treated with respect. The nail techs make it blatantly obvious when they are talking about you in any fashion and I find it to be incredibly disrespectful. The nails, nothing to write home about. I felt worse for the person sitting next to me who got a totally botched job. It was really uncomfortable getting my nails done here as the tools and file my nail tech was using seemed really beaten and battered. I'm not claiming they don't sanitize their tools but i'm also not saying they do. It's safe to say I will never be back to Mimosa nails. It's a shame because it is nestled in such a cute area. read more

I can not recommend this place to anyone unfortunately. I had the day off and decided to get my nails done. I called around 10:30AM and set a dip-powder appointment for 11:00AM. Upon entering the salon there were only two attendants. I sat down and the attendant started shaping and filing down my nails. She was very rough with my hands/nails and used tools that obviously hadn't been cleaned. She didn't draw any blood but my cuticles are sore and rubbed raw. The entire time the women kept answering her phone while throwing my hands around distractedly. At this point I was starting to feel annoyed and I am the most chill person you'll ever meet. Continuing on, the entire process felt rushed even though it was just me and another girl getting a pedi in the salon. She rushed through the entire process doing a mediocre job and hurting me in the process. Looking back I should have just got up and left but I didn't want to offend her. It also took her an hour and a half to do a very basic dip powder. After it was over with I had to go into my car and file my nails down to the right shape. The dip powder and color are bumpy and blotchy... not to mention it was 50 DOLLARS + tip! All in all I paid 62 DOLLARS for a sh*t experience plus physical pain. If you want to flush your money down the toilet and feel disappointed come on down to Mimosa Nails. I'm going to post a photo and honestly after I've doctored them up they're tolerable looking...but once you've had good dip powder you know when something is mediocre. I'm disappointed and will not be back. read more

Genuinely the best pedicure I have ever received. Highly, highly recommend! This is my new go to place now.

Sometimes it's just not possible to be charitable and folks sometimes just earn a one star review. Y'all here at Mimosa outdid yourselves. I showed up on time for my pedicure appointment. But here's the thing: if I show up on time for my appointment, please don't park my ass in a chair and let me soak and quietly simmer while you completely ignore me for the next 15 minutes. I would have appreciated it if you'd offered me a beverage or something while I waited for my appointment to finally begin. And for a Mimosa bar, I think it's quite unfortunate that you ran out of champagne. Are you folks for real? You know what else? I know for a fact that the gal working on my feet was not a mute because I actually heard her speak to her colleagues. She did not utter a single word while working with me. No hello, no sorry to keep you waiting, no I'll be right back when she ran off and disappeared for 20 minutes and never came back. It was simply weird. Thankfully with the assistance of Yelp I placed a call to CT Nails down the street, secured an appointment and swiftly left your chair. I'm here now getting my toes done, without waiting, with champagne, oh and with a person that speaks to me. I came to Mimosa today on a whim but I won't make that mistake again. Oy! 2015 - Review # 22 read more

Love this place. They truly take their time. They also offer wine or champagne during your service which is always 10/10
