This place was open on New Year's Eve, so I gave it a try today. They are very friendly, which I appreciate when there's a language barrier. Waited a bit to be seated for my appointment, but no big deal. And while I didn't partake, they do offer you a free beverage (water, sodas and wine)! Nice touch. They seemed to have a lot of regulars and that's always good to see. I want to make it clear, that while I will say some things, overall, I'm happy with my nails. The sample I picked maybe wasn't the best choice and the lady seemed unfamiliar with it, and it didn't turn out anything like what I thought, but I like it anyways. Supposed to be a magnetic swirl-type look, but ended up more stormy rain sparkle. See pic. No complaints, just facts. The nice lady did check with me and I did okay the rest of the set. Some of the edges are a bit rough, but again, overall, I'm happy. Excess top coat and such washed right off. I would go back again and maybe try another color. Check it out, as their prices are great. I paid for a fill and polish, which with the extra $10 for the magnetic polish was $57 and then left a $10 for tip. Which I thought was good and fair. Thanks for not letting my nails be in Christmas mode for new years. Thanks ladies!
Very nice workers and did my nails so well! I loved how they turned out and perfect for Valentine's day Cute salon
All of the techs were very kind, and it was obvious their regulars are comfortable with them. Unfortunately, this is what I asked for vs what I ended up with. Incredibly thick and oddly two toned; not at all what I was hoping for. I definitely would have chosen something else if they'd mentioned not being able to do what was pictured, but she seemed very confident and not at all phased by my request so I wasn't expecting it to turn out like this. It is my fault I didn't speak up about my concerns, but she spent 90 minutes on my nails so I didn't feel comfortable saying anything in the moment. I do think they mean well, and they are very kind, I'm just not sure the quality is quite what I would expect.
I had an unfortunate first visit here. The two staff were very nice but switched back and forth working on my nails several times. I had a dip powder manicure previously. While taking off the old manicure they hurt me quite badly with the grinder. Now the next day my finger continues to hurt and it looks awful. The nail's themselves also aren't great. They appear lumpy and not finished well around the edges. I won't go back and I really hope my finger heals well. Maybe it was an off day but I won't risk going back. Update: well this has become a small nightmare. My finger did become infected and I had to take a course of antibiotics. This led to the unfortunate discovery of being allergic to said antibiotics and I actually had to be hospitalized to manage the symptoms for a short time. And to top it off my finger still doesn't look good. I think it will take months for it to look normal again. This has turned into the most expensive manicure I've ever had.
I couldn't have asked for a better post covid salon visit. Considerate and patient with the covid restrictions. And a very thorough massage and scrub. I also appreciate that this salon is comfortable for men. Half the clients during my visit were men. I live out of town but will visit again when I'm back in Portland.
i loved my experience today. good people, great pedicure. highly recommend coming here. simple service and they do good work.
Tinh Le (Lee) is wonderful. She did a beautiful job on my gel French manicure. So good, in fact, I now go to her regularly instead of where I had been going for some time. She's friendly, stays late if needed, and her work impeccable. I have referred friends to her, and even brought in (without an appointment) my assistant manager who showed off her nails at work for days after we went. I was hesitant to leave a review because I'm selfish & spoiled. I'm worried she'll become too busy and I will have to book far in advance. But Tinh Le (Lee) deserves success. Even if it means I'll have to wait my turn.
Okay so I liked going here when Jolie would do my nails but someone else recently did my nails and I got bad results . I left the nail salon with crooked, thick , badly shaped , and bleeding nails. I also told the lady that the top coat had glitter in it and I did not want the glitter and she just argued with me that it's part of my nail color (but it obviously was not part of my nail polish). After the older lady with short shoulder length hair finished painting my nails I just paid Jolie and left. I wasted 1 hr and 30 minutes and wasted $50 just for a fill that turned out to be a pain. I will not be coming back sadly . Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the final results because I just wanted to leave the salon, I was in pain and angry. (The green nails was from the first time I went the salon , Jolie did great but this new lady did not do my nails good this time)
They were very sweet took me in last min and met my expectations especially for something last min I wasn't sure where to go as I'm not from Portland but this is a good spot nice clean and friendly

Jolie did it again ! She always does an amazing job with my nails along with the best quality service! This time I did a walk-in and she was already working on a customer. However, she managed to multi-task and was able to work on two customers simultaneously! She did not fail to ensure that both customers were getting the best quality service, and manage her time wisely! She was able to switch on and off each time each customer needed to soak/dry their nails, or just found the perfect time to go back and forth between customers! Even after all of that, she managed to finish my nails in 15-20 minutes, which was even faster than I expected! You're doing amazing at your job, Jolie! Thank you so much for all you do ! read more

I hate to leave bad reviews. I will say the 2 ladies that did my nails were very nice. Unfortunately she cut my finger, it started to bleed she put something on my hand which burned. I was leaving for vacation the next day and my finger was swollen and sore for the entire trip. I did book tips for my nails but there was a language barrier, so I did gel. Which was fine, the manager came in and said to me "you booked for long nails" and she seemed upset and told me she would take of the gel and do the tips. I said no, I had already been there for 45 mins. Then she proceeded to yell at her staff. Then she came to me and said you should have told them long nails, so next time say long nail because we can do that here you know? We do everything. I won't be back. Thank god my finger didn't get infected, but it hurt like hell for like 5 days. And I didn't appreciate the manager yelling at her staff or getting pushy with me read more

I'm really disappointed with the service I received. I came in after seeing some great reviews for kids pedicures, and sadly the shellac that they used has chipped on both my hands and my feet less than a week after getting them done. I went in and had my nails fixed after two chipped, and the following day the top coat started peeling off all my nails and now I have two nails that are totally ruined. Now for the pedicure....my feet are rough and peeling less than a week after my pedicure. Two toenails are also chipped already. I can usually go 3 weeks without having a chipped toe nail! At this point, I've already gone back to have my nails fixed once, so maybe the product they are using isn't a good product, I'm not sure. I'm really disappointed in the quality of this mani/pedi when I spent $150 on it... read more

I was a bit disappointed in my experience, which I was looking forward to because their photos online look so good! I got I think a relatively new nail tech for my acrylic fill...the visit took two hours for a basic fill, which normally I am okay with, but then the nails also had giant gaps in them too so it looks like they are already a week grown out from the appointment. I also opted to get the chrome polish (which is more expensive), and the tips were missed on almost all of the nails. They look okay from a distance but up close I am disappointed for the time and money I spent here. read more

The inside is nice and clean, every bright but a little small. There were 2 ladies working but there weren't that many people during 1pm on a wednesday. I probably had to wait like 10-15min which isn't so bad and got refreshments. I love how my nails turned out because i like how she did my nails slim and thin! Would come back for sure :) read more

I stopped by this place randomly and I'm so glad I did! Jolie did a fantastic job. She was very thorough and gave me exactly what I asked for based off the picture I showed her. She was very thoughtful and attentive regarding comfort and made sure to reassure me to let her know if I need anything. They have tons of options available but I like simple and went with the short ombré French nails. The location was easy to access and the salon was very clean. I highly recommend this location, you won't be disappointed! read more

My friend took me here, and I am so hooked! You don't need to bring your own file/buffer and it's so refreshing!! The colors are so adorable and beautiful. I had a difficult time making a choice about which color to choose. My nails were short to begin with, Linh did AMAZING! She took her time making sure that my nails were all colored and there wasn't any polish on my fingers. I will definitely be back. read more

This was our first time at Krystal's Nail Salon and we were very impressed. I'm very picky (a bit of a perfectionist) and often a bit critical of nail salons, so it came as a surprise to me to find how well we liked it. The women were very kind and everything was extremely clean. They had a wide variety of colors and materials needed for modern nail art. As for cost, they ran about average. Not overpriced but i didn't feel like we were getting a deal either. But, you get what you pay for. That being said, I highly recommend you check this nail salon out. read more

Our first visit and we both got the deluxe pedi packet for $35. Lee was wonderful and even did a flower on my big toes. She also waxed his eyebrows. Drinks while we were being pampered and soft music. We were so relaxed and we are both very happy of the outcome. read more

We've never been here but I called and made an apt for my two little girls to get their nails done for a special treat! The women were so kind and gentle with my daughters and definitely made them feel special and pampered. Their nails turned out adorable and the establishment was very clean. I will be coming back for sure. Thanks read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I've never been more compelled to write a review until today. After reading the reviews, I thought I would give this place a try. I should have seen the red flag when the nail tech had grabbed what seemed like an old nail file out. I hadn't seen anyone use the cuticle pusher upside down until now. The nail technician's eyes were less than 6 inches away from my toes. It was obvious that she was having problems seeing when she was filing my nails. After she had filed only three of my toes, she had cut me (on my middle toe). I started bleeding and she insisted that I soak my feet back into the foot bath. I wasn't about to do that. She acted as if I overreacted to the whole situation. I had never experienced bleeding from nail files until now. In all of my years, getting my nails done, this was the first time that had happened. The owner was apologetic about the whole situation, but I was fed up. I wasted my day off trying to get my nails done here and on top of that, I have to find another place to go. Aside from that, the owner had voiced that if clients used cards, it would run her out of business. She complained about a client using her card and had asked if they had Venmo instead. It was such an awkward encounter. I've never heard any business request Venmo as payment. read more
