I have VERY mixed feelings about this place. The manicure I got was very good but not great. I got a Gel x set that's was pretty but INSANELY thick and very obviously rushed. The tortoise shell design was done very well but these nails were a little crooked and just way too thick for Gel X. The bonding gel was so thick that is oozed out the front and she didn't clean it up. These were also 108 dollars (not including tip) after being advertised as 60. (I know the tortoise shell thing is considered nail art that's is three dollars a minute but an additional 58 dollars for a 7 minute add on is ridiculous) I think they looked nice and they asked a REALLY long time (probably due to being little plastic bricks) but I got some good enjoyment out of these. Just wish they told me that the tortoise shell would be an additional 50 dollars before she just jumped into it. Pretty cool modern looking interior but VERY loud music. If that's your thing then you'll love it. read more

5 stars across the board for my nail technician Stephon*** The owner, however, although very flattering and greets you with a smile on her face, will ask you for your inspiration picture. And assure you several times that it can be done and never quote you a price or tells you how the add-ons are charged even though she viewed your picture multiple times! on the website gelx is $65. There are no options for add-ons and they do not provide you a menu when they ask to look at your inspiration picture. Very sneaky, somewhat hustling like it gave a high-quality experience but a hustling demeanor from the owner. When I told her the next time I show her an inspiration picture it would be nice to be told the add-ons in that moment instead of after the service she told me I needed to ask for a quote. I told her she can hustle like that not every one is okay with that. $3 for a kit that is legally required for the service. - cheap on the owners end. I don't like nail salons that don't communicate their add-on charges or provide you a menu until after the service is completely done. It's giving hostile and aggressive, and all of that could be prevented. Vietnamese is their main language spoken in the salon. I paid couldn't tip wish I could but the owner got the payment. Booooo! read more

The vibe was fun and busy. Wanted to like Nail Lab PDX, but our experience was frustrating from start to finish. The technician seemed distracted and not very attentive to detail. The whole process felt more like they were trying to get through as many clients as possible rather than actually doing a careful job. The quality of the manicure didn't match the price. Our nails were uneven, the polish was streaky, and we noticed bubbles right away, which shouldn't happen with a professional service. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't give that sense of care or professionalism that makes you want to come back. read more

I had gotten my nails done by Ivy and my set turned out so pretty! It was my first time getting gel x nails and now I think I'm addicted. They were all so nice and talented. I get compliments on my nails everywhere I go. It's been 3 weeks and they still look amazing! I highly recommend! read more

Looked up online for a nail salon and this showed up. A brand new Nail Lab PDX in downtown Portland. They literally had their grand opening a few days ago! Went in for a simple manicure and pedicure. Two girls named Trisha and Ann worked simultaneously on my hands and feet while I relax in a massage chair. I got exactly what I needed and felt fresh and clean. Complimentary drinks are available. I had hot green tea. There was another customer requesting red wine in another chair. My only complaint was the music being played. If you've ever been to Vietnam or other South East Asian Countries, the music that's played loud in street hawkers alleys sounds like Asian EDM. This was the same exact music that's played in the nail shop. I couldn't relax and feel comfortable. Luckily I had my earbuds listening to my own music. Several types of payments can be made either by credit card and also Venmo. read more

I was hoping to fall in love with this place and make it my new nail go to spot but it missed the mark for me. I visited on two occasions: First time- my nails turned out fine but the rub for me was the screaming child that kept interrupting my service. I'm guessing it was the child of one of the nail techs. My biggest issue was the kid kept throwing things, knocking into the person doing my nails, rolling on the floor screaming and it was largely ignored. At one point someone came over and put her in another room but that didn't last long. 2nd time- i paid extra for their upgraded pedicure-$85, the lady performing my pedicure seemed to rather be doing anything but that. At one point I asked her if she would rather someone else perform the service. She continued the service but barely did anything that was advertised in what I paid for. My polished looked horrible, I had to redo it 4 days later! I also received a builder gel manicure at the same time and though that wasn't horrible I was not satisfied with the service of either service. Other point to note- the MUSIC! Good lord it is beyond loud in there. I feel as if I were at a night club rather than a relaxing nail salon. Needless to say, I will not return read more

Went in for a $85 set and got scammed into paying $130 because of multiple upcharges. I was not made aware of. I wanted a silver French tip and wasn't allowed to pick my base color or the silver I wanted. Instead I was forced into getting chrome (not knowing it was going to be more expensive. I just wanted silver). My thumbs are two different lengths and some nails are super glittery (not what I wanted) and some are chrome. Liam was nice enough but went too fast for my liking and hurt me multiple times throughout the service. Will not be back here. Super disappointed in the service I received and the sneaky sliding scale pricing. read more

Dyan absolutely changed my life with these nails! She somehow made them look better than the inspiration pictures. Ann gave me the best matching pedicure I've ever had and was so gentle and fast. All of the staff members were incredibly attentive and kind. If you're looking for phenomenal nails, high end vibes all while sipping on a complimentary mimosa, look no further. This is your spot. read more

Tee is an absolute nail artist and perfectionist in the best way! I was greeted right away, and the customer service vibe was fantastic from start to finish. I came in with an inspiration photo, and she not only recreated it flawlessly but elevated it, customizing every detail perfectly to my style. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she made the whole process feel collaborative, checking in with me every step of the way to be sure everything was exactly how I wanted it -- and she did it all in a very timely manner. Every line, color, and detail was done with such precision that my nails turned out beyond perfect -- truly a custom work of art. If you want a talented, attentive nail tech who brings your vision to life and makes it even better, Tee is the one! read more

This is the Nicest nail salon in town. They have amazing service and the most talented nail techs. I recommend treating yourself to one of the nicer pedicures. They infused the soaking waters with fruits , petals, or tea depending on what you choose. They also spend a lot of time on the massages :). 10/10 I will continue to come here. read more

Vivian and Andrew did a great job with my mani and pedi. They listened to me when I pointed out some minor details I wanted fixed, and cheerfully responded while doing what I requested. My daughter got a full set and is EXTREMELY picky, and she loves her nails. All nail techs did a very clean, methodical job. My massage was awesome for both hands and feet, and I feel happy and relaxed. Totally worth the price. read more

Easiest and fastest appt ever. Booked a Saturday morning pedicure for 3 late Friday night online. Customer service was top tier. The quality of the pedicure was top tier. The product from the exfoliant to paraffin to lotion and hot stone: top tier. Besties had birthday mimosas and this was our favorite salon experience in a real long time. We live in Central Oregon and we are never visiting again without coming here. read more

I had a great experience with Ivy the first time. She didn't do the most clean job on my nails but very sweet and nice to work with. Second time I got Vivian. She had a horrible attitude, very rough with my nails and rude. She did a better job than my first visit but she was so unpleasant to work with I'll never let her do my nails again. read more

I felt anxious and rushed through the manicure and pedicure because they were done at the same time. it was hard for me to relax and coordinate with the technicians. My toe cuticle was cut and my finger tip almost got snipped by fingernail clippers, but I pulled away just in time. Everyone was really friendly there and I really liked that part. Unfortunately, I've only had my manicure not even a week and it's chipping off and there's bumps in the gel at the base for some reason. read more

So I wasn't gonna write this review but I've left three messages for them and nobody's returning my call so here I am I went in to get a pedicure and a gel builder manicure and I worked all day. I spent extra money $85 on the exclusive pedicure. It started with the gentleman cutting my toe 2 times so that was off to a rough start. Then the gentleman came over to start my nails, and it was just not relaxing. He did not put a pillow under my arm. I had to ask for one. I was trying to enjoy the fact that I was paying a lot for a pedicure to get a massage but I couldn't because he kept telling me to put my hand here put my hand there like you should've done my hands after. Also he just kept asking me. Are you good? are you OK? You don't seem like you're OK it's like yeah I'm not OK also a picture of my nails literally five days later they're already grown out. The cuticles are terrible. They're lifting it's just not a good job and so much money. I wish I could get my money back. To be honest, I just felt like he was rushing because he had somewhere to go. That's what I felt like but after five days, my nails that cost like over $70 and my toes 85 and this is the kind of treatment I got and of course I was just so wanting to get out of there . I'm just very disappointed. read more

I was in town for a mini vacay. I had a jewel that fell off. I asked to take off 2 fingers with gems and redo them. Color didn't have to be the same because it was a multi colored set. They don't me they wouldn't know what to charge and everyone was busy. Mind you when I came in 2 were sitting and went to talk to another in the back. They were excited until they knew I didn't need a whole new set. Even though I sought them out as a good place with great review. Disappointed to say the least. read more

I gotta be real - they charge almost 50% more than the shops on nw 21st and the quality is no better. They charge to remove polish and to shorten your nails, so even a basic acrylic fill ends up being $75 or more Both times I went to Nail Lab they also hurt me with a drill. Just felt kinda careless. If I'm spending $75 on a manicure it should look great and I shouldn't leave with an injury. read more

We started going there my nana had to go back once because the quality of the service wasn't upstandards she still tipped up and beyond even the people that didn't do work she went back to have them redo it and the owner said she would have to pay again but then I said why would we have to pay again and she said she honors the work up to 2 weeks so we went back for service again keep in mind every time we've been there its like 160 for the nails and 85 for the feet each person plus designs plus tipping everybody so it runs well Over 400 dollars so she had Mike that unfortunately dosent have the experience for the high end amount that they're charging and my nails look like they were two months old and I just got them done yesterday me and my nana went back to ask them to repaint it and To fix my nana's nails that she just paid 160 for they had glue all over her cuticles and they had rough texture all over the nails to the touch they treated us poorly and said she Didnt see nothing wrong with our feet and nails and said we have to pay again at this point we were realizing it's all just a hustle and upsale there was another customer in there that got into our conversation was extremely rude and the owner that sits in the very first chair when you walk in on the left closes to the cashier desk my nana asked me what they were saying in their language and all I said was I don't know because they weren't speaking english and the owner said I was being racist when I wasn't when they were talking bad about us and laughing at us and the customer came outside and said she spoke their language and said racial slurs because we're black race and the customer was arguing with me and being really rude and the owner told me To not talk to her like that because she's older then me and I wasn't talking any type of way so she said she was gonna give us our money back so we waited and the lady Trish tried to push my nana Out the door like saying leave with her body language so we waited for her to come and she only brought us 25 dollars when she should've gave us and 10 of the 25 was a tip that my grandma gave her to buy her a coffee cause she's the owner and my grandma didn't even get Service from her my Grandma was just being nice so she told us to not come back and she took the money and said to not ever come back we've never felt so humiliated and sad and mentally stressed and emotionally damaged And my grandma said we both have disabilities and this is financial manipulation and they still treated us that way If I were you they speak in their language and talk bad about their customers bad service all the way around all of them pray on it .

I have come to this establishment three times so far. The first time was almost disappointing as the nail tech told me that they could do the design I wanted only to find out that they couldn't. Somebody else came in an hour later and after my pedicure, they were able to do the nails that I wanted. They were great, but there was absolutely NO MANICURE DONE BEFORE THE NAIL FILL. There was airbrush paint on the side of my nails and dried glue globs on the backs of my nails. So I was somewhat satisfied after the first visit. The second visit I was in and out, however I do not like having my nails done while I'm having a pedicure done at the same time. It feels very rushed, especially when I was next to the wall and he can only work on one side and my arms had to reach over to get the other side done. It was very uncomfortable. This is the third time I am here and I am bringing my granddaughter to get her nails done for her birthday. I called today knowing it may be busy today asking if I could get an appointment at 5 PM. I get here and we have to wait until 540 to be seen. Now I value my time and it's a little upsetting if you are understaffed just to say no, we don't have anymore appointments for the day. It's ridiculous to have your customers wait around for almost an hour. I really wanted to like this place. But I just don't see myself coming back. I will not recommend this place and let them know my experience. There are many places that are just as good if not better and they have parking. The music is also kind of loud and weird. It'd be nice to maybe have something that didn't sound like it should be in a rave or a techno competition. read more
