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.

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!

It was my first time getting this metallic chrome and it was a bit more involved (and more expensive). Sadly my nails ended up so thick, messy and blotchy.

I don't really have time to go in and have them fixed but I don't think I have a choice!

They made me feel comfortable and welcome (even though I was pretty late- ) I was given a complimentary bevvy upon arrival- which is always a nice way to start self care.

There's a little crack in the thumb, but that's because I am a total klutz and shut my thumb in a door. It's actually amazing it held up as well as it did Anyways- high recommend- 10/10- will be back. Oh!

However, I called and asked what a set of acrylics would cost me before I came in. They told me $50. But when I went to pay, $95 is what they asked me for. So with tip I spent over $100. I'm sorry, but this is WAY beyond misleading. I literally paid double what they told me it would cost me. I feel like that's borderline criminal. I felt like I should tip my nail technician because she did a very nice job. But really I'm upset with myself for tipping anything after having to pay twice what I was told I would pay. It makes me feel like an idiot. So please just know that asking them anything about their prices is not a good way to determine what you're going to end up paying.

I know, right? It's just....when you trust a skilled technician to do consistently lovely work, you worry you'll never find another....or is it just me? As I sifted through Yelp, I discovered NEW LIFE NAILS, from your reviews. My anxiety was buried and yet again, a heartfelt THANK YOU to the Yelp community for your reviews of NEW LIFE NAILS AND SPA. It was love at my first fabulous gel mani and classic pedi. Their phenomenal work is consistent, the space has the feminine modernity I love, but not so feminine to scare the male customers away! Their talented, caring staff always brings their A Game, and it's so fun to see the impressive nail artwork they do on the nails around me....I keep promising myself I'll take the plunge into acrylics one day, and borrow from one of the WOW-worthy nail designs that I see each time I'm there for my appointment. I do love my gel and dip manis, but one day....perhaps this holiday season? We'll see. Danny and his crew still follow strict COVID-19 cleaning guidelines and sterilization, so I never worry whether I just left a super-spreader environment! I love it when I'm asked, upon arrival, to wash my hands, and follow COVID19 protocol. Frankly, I wish ALL businesses I frequent were still as careful as NEW LIFE. I know most are just itching to move on, but remember everyone, we still have a pandemic on our hands NEW LIFE cares for their clients, and THAT is evident, from the beginning to the end of my appointment. And I leave feeling VERY pretty, as I look down, admiring my nails and how good they look There is a reason why NEW LIFE NAILS has a 5-star review history, and why I've been frequenting NEW LIFE before, during and after COVID-19 : they are THE BEST. Thank you, Danny & Minh, for always taking such good care of me and all your happy customers.

Won't be coming back and truly think I could have removed my nails better and more safely, just wanted to support a local business and treat myself instead but I am left with really weak nails instead. I recommend dipped in lake Oswego if you want a similar vibe but better cleanliness and healthier nails.

It's one of the only nail salons I've ever been to where I've felt completely comfortable and relaxed. Megan is so kind, easy to talk to, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. Her work is always incredibly clean and beautifully done. I've been getting Dazzle Dry manicures and pedicures, and I'm honestly amazed at how long they last. My nails have also become so much healthier since I started coming here. I really appreciate that the salon is appointment-only and that appointments never feel rushed. Everything feels calm and intentional. I also love that the policies and prices are clearly posted on the website, and I've never once felt pressured to purchase an upgrade or add-on. If you're looking for someone who does beautiful, meticulous work in a comfortable and relaxed environment, I highly recommend Megan. I'm so glad I found this place!

Getting your nails done is supposed to be a relaxing and pleasant experience, but my experience with this salon was anything but. I understand that businesses have cancellation policies, but I was charged the full $80 cancellation fee, and there was no willingness to work with me at all. What made things worse was what happened after I left my review. The owner contacted me directly by text and accused me of "ruining a small business" because I left a one-star review. The messages were unnecessarily hostile and made an already unpleasant experience even worse. HA! I guess if you're planning to share your honest experience with this salon, at least be prepared for the possibility of getting harassed afterward. This is the text I received: "You left me a 1 star review over my cancellation policy you shred to when you booked the appointment?" "That's poor of you to do so ruining a small business review because you couldn't follow the policy" refine and what do you think about the owners response"
