I love Nails For You. I've had pedicures, manicures and waxing done there and their services are excellent. All of the techs are professional, welcoming and friendly. The deluxe pedicure is my favorite service. I always feel pampered when I'm there. The shop is clean and bright. It's always a delightful experience. read more

I went in without an appointment and was seated right away. She removed my remnants of old acrylics and gave me a new full set. I could go with only gloss, these nails look so real! She did gel polish with a holiday theme, and she did a beautiful job! I will go there for all my nail needs. The bonus is their super convenient location, down the street from home. The outside is, sadly, decorated with people hanging out at the lottery place, but once inside, it's all left out the door. Very pleased. read more

I had a horrible experience here. I just came to get my acrylic nails removed, and I left with my nails severely damaged. Instead of soaking off the nail - which they are supposed to do - the woman who completed my service used another acrylic nail, jamming it under the base of my acrylic, and one by one popping them off. This process was extremely painful and left my nail torn up. As the service began, the lady who did my nails asked me to go on my phone. I asked her, "oh did it go off?" And she said, " no, you're looking at me, making me nervous." I wasn't looking at her, just looking down at how she was prying my nails off. When I went to pay, she asked me for a tip.

First time ever getting manicure and pedicure. Never felt this clean, nail wise. Great service, great first time experience and won't be my last! read more

They did a good job on my full set. They had lots of colors and designs to choose from and were patient when I took a long time to decide on the cats eye design which I love. read more

Nina is the best of the best! All of the other ladies are great too! I have been to many nail salons and will never go to another.

Just not great, if you need something done they'll typically be able to fit you in, which is great. However the quality and care of their acrylic nails ,at least, is crap. They don't do any prep work, you would literally have to pay for a manicure + full set to receive just the basic/proper prep for your nails. I tried to give them a second chance and during my fill they didn't even get rid of the acrylic that was lifting off my mail beds. Till I said something. VERY limited in design techniques and very basic/ childish gems. The pedicure however is great for the deluxe one anyway. That's the only service I recommend. Nails will lift/crack/split and break read more

Never come here. I'm writing this review as I'm sitting here getting my nails done. Forest she cut my nails and left them crooked and un even. Secondly when she put my acrylic nail on, they were crooked as well. The lady is also rude. A customer walks in and she gives them attitude. I am never coming back and I wouldn't waste my money coming here. read more

Rude service.I came in looking for a pedicure and a mani but only ended up getting the pedi the lady got mad when I told her I couldn't afford the mani,the girl who helped me was rough and disrespectful she got mad when I asked if the nail polish was dried yet.she slammed my daughter out of the way to put my arm rest up.0 star service if I could they are rude and disgusting they were staring at my daughter the whole time laughing making her feel bad. read more

I love this place! Sam and Tina both do really good acrylic nails and pedicures. I've never had bad service here. The only reason they they don't get 5 Stars is because they frequently are running late and I sit and wait 15-20 mins even when I schedule my appointments in advance. Lots of color choices. Cute nail art designs. Really friendly staff. And CLEAN. I've been a customer here 5 years. Heads up, there is a small fee/surcharge to pay with a credit card. read more

Didn't even get the nails I wanted and wouldn't listen to what I want and looks bad and they are overpriced

Tina did an amazing job on my nails, she did exactly what I wanted and kept asking me if I liked them and if she was doing okay. All the ladies in this shop are kind and funny, would definitely recommend! My boyfriend also got a pedicure and it's insane! Hot wax and hot stones and hot towels, they do the works when it comes to pedicures, he loved it. Next time I'm definitely getting one. read more

I'm giving this place a 4 because they lack consistency. Depending on the employee attending to you, you get different results each time. I always tell them what I want when I go in but sometimes they try to convince me to go with another. I am paying them to do what I want/need not paying them to do what's convenient for them. Nice relaxing atmosphere. The place is kept clean. Make sure to schedule an appointment because they get pretty busy! read more

Not bad for outer NE. Prices are reasonable...$25 full set etc. they have a few good techs & a few ok ones but that comes with these random nail shops. there's also a dude who cuts hair for a variety of races. Sam is the best. She's always booked at least a week out. Tina is 2nd best. They now serve wine. read more

Well i loved this place. My nails were so thin i needed an overlay. Which was perfectly done. Then i added shellac to my manicure. My bestie and i came in on a Sunday. We called ahead and made sure they had room, which they did. I'll be back for sure! read more

Went here yesterday because of the good reviews and I'd have to agree, this place was awesome. Brought in a photo of what I wanted and they gave me a very close match. I loved the perfection used, I could have walked out with them half done and they looked great. Will be my new go to for nails. read more

I've been going here for almost 4 years and I can't say enough good things!! It's always clean, the ladies (and gentleman) listen, prices are fair. read more

Tina got me in last minute before they closed. Great customer service and she was very detailed. I'll definitely be back!

Close to home and nice and friendly atmosphere. First time in, I love that each person has their own nail file and buffer that they can bring back along for each mani/pedi. The gal I had was nice and quick, did a nice job. Massage was lacking for my pedicure, but am overall pleased. Will definitely be back. read more

It was a good to great experience. I had a relatively long wait, but expected that as it's Saturday before the 4th of July, in a strip mall. Very pleasant gal urged me to make an appointment next time so I didn't have to wait so long. Spoke with enough "regulars" while there to understand this is a special place. They told me to request Sam (?) next time and the overall would be a bit better. The only reason I did 4 instead of 5 is that the massage was lacking, just ok. I will go back though. It's good and so close to home read more

THIS PLACE HAS AN AWESOME BARBER FOR MENS HAIR TOO! Yes, it's a nail salon, but this place also has a barber named "Tony" that does the best "Mens" haircuts in the Portland metro area and only charges around $8 bucks. He's very thorough and can probably do any mens cut you want but there may be a bit of a language barrier (he understands more than he speaks) so bring a picture if you can or just pick one off his Brad Pitt haircuts on his wall like I do. ;) read more

Tina squeezed me in at the last minute and worked a miracle on my nails. I had 4 broken nails (from moving a desk) and she made my nails beautiful again! She's super sweet too! Thank you Tina! read more

It was ok I guess... I saw the google reviews at 4+ stars and thought I'd try it out even though yelp was at 3 stars. I'll start with the good. The ladies were all fairly friendly the technician was very detailed in the cleaning and grooming of my nails (not as much with the polishing), and I was in and out in a decent amount of time - not too long, not too fast. I have natural nails and got a mani pedi. The cons out-way the pros, I won't be back. There are homeless-looking/methhead-looking people that kept coming and gathering right outside to smoke throughout my time there. No shirts just funk! They were also right there at the door as I was leaving, I didn't feel safe. As far as my nail experience goes, the place is really REALLY TIRED, and it just doesn't feel clean in general on top of that. Not a good selection of colors, and polish brands were not recognizable. (They don't carry the new easy to remove soak-off gel polish, it's the old kind that you have to work hard to get off, and mostly 3rd rate regular polish brands). I went with regular polish after asking about their gel product. The technician poured some solution in the polish before she painted my nails. I asked what it was and she said it was thinner; that the polish is too thick and sticky. Well... it went on ok, but I know what this means from experience, they are keeping the polish too long and thinning it out make it lesser quality- it just needs to be thrown out. My foot massage was ok, but there was little to no effort put into callous removal, I do a better job at home myself and that's without much effort. I was never given a menu of services or offered the different types of pedicures available. That would have been nice as I was feeling like treating myself. My nails look good and the ladies were pretty nice, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. It was a little less than ok, I won't be returning. Just not up to my standards. read more

BAD they left my eyebrows so bad the lady with the bangs and glasses but she left my pedicure good but my eyebrows were not looking nice at all. read more

Love my white gel toes done by one of the girls. On the other hand the guy working there was not personable and every time he'd want me to move my hand out of his way he'd smack it lol. Same with the pedicure she just punched the side of my leg as a massage!!! read more

This ones a real gem...Its small but the staff are friendly, you even get a free Mimosas if you'd like. They do amazing work one of the best Pedicures I have ever had! read more

Just went to get a pedicure and manicure. No wait and a really cool staff. Super clean (I was required to buy a new file and nail scrubber for $1 and they put a clean bag in the foot trough which speaks to the cleanliness of this place. They went the extra mile with a longer massage on both my feet and hands. It's hard to find a great nail salon and I think I just found. I'll be going. Oh yeah, today is Sunday which is another plus. read more

Nails look good but my fingers took a good beating! From my experience, typically some soreness is expected but this is on another level. I feel like I need bandaids on my fingers read more

I came in this am to get full set solar nails. Holly did my nails and did a great job, she really took her time and made sure they were all straight and that it was even to every corner.

I love this salon. The people in there are so sweet and friendly. You're not gonna find a salon like this. They will take in everything you say into consideration. I get my shellac and pedicure here all the time and its beautiful! read more

I was so excited to try this place out rather than my normal nail salon after reading all the reviews but for $25 I would have expected a better job. My big toe seems to be cut uneven and they didn't bother to clean around the skin. The original lady who was giving me my pedicure seemed to have ran off after she told me to wait for my nails to dry. When I was getting ready to leave, a different lady took off the nail polish on my 2 toes twice in hopes of fixing them. I'm very disappointed in my pedicure and don't see myself coming back here. read more

Amazing talent. I bring them ANY nail design idea and they make it happen! Definitely recommend coming here :) read more

I am disappointed with my nails. Although they look ok, not great but ok, they were not what I wanted. I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted with the color but instead, she just gave me a regular shellac manicure sans design I wanted. read more

Not sure where pics for the designs came from on here because they couldn't do any that I asked for even with a picture. I had to pay for my nail file and buffer but not the pumice stone the softly put across my feet that removed nothing. They are very nice but no uniformity. It was myself and a friend. My person used oils for the massage and his used lotion. We were both unimpressed. I was supposed to get a mani/pedi but left with a pedi with no design because they couldn't do any.... I have paint on my toes and there was no dryer so I just had to be careful wen putting my flipflop on. read more

I came here as a new customer wanting a new full set of acrylics with gel Polish. She didn't ask what I wanted just started working, not very friendly. They looked ok when she was done, but she didn't apply the acrylic all the way down to my cuticle so within 5 days it already looked like I needed a fill. Also in spite of the fact that I do not wash dishes and I have a desk job my nails started lifting within 7 days. I went back to talk to them about it the man who manages the place was very rude to me and just kept insisting it is because I had my hands in water which I did not. Then they all started talking about me to each other. Never going back obviously. read more

Went to take off my acrylic nails. She cut all of my real nails off and cut it to the point of not having any nail left, which left me in pain. She shaped my nails a combo of square and round shaped, which I have square nails. Wasn't happy with how my nails turned out. Don't know if I would return. read more

Wow! I had my first manicure and pedicure with "Nails for you" by Safeway yesterday. I was amazed at their ability to remove ingrown toenails painlessly, and create beautiful feet from some badly neglected dry feet. It's not just about beauty, but health of hands and feet. Thanks Loan for your amazing work! Your now on my regular schedule for hands and feet. Sally read more

great place to getnails done. Fun friendly nail tecks. Lots of great colors. Great prices.

I used to go to this salon on a regular basis, because Sam was the only nail-tech that has ever been able to do my nails how like them, and they'd last for a month without needing a fill. Well, that all changed last night when my mom and sister went to have mani/pedis that they were given gift certificates for for Christmas, and they were treated horribly! First of all, they had appointments, but were made to wait for 45 minutes or more before only ONE of them was attended to because walk-ins were allowed in the meantime, and were being attended to by all the available techs. They weren't able to sit next to one another because the first one was almost done before the other one even got started! Then, when it came time for their manicures, my mom's wishes were not granted as how she'd like her nails to be done, and the techs rolled their eyes and spoke to eachother in their own language, obviously about what my mom asked them NOT to do. She also asked for a French manicure, that ended up costing her an extra $5 even though she wasn't told it would, and it's not posted anywhere in the establishment saying it would. Ultimately, her nails were so poorly done, that she had to completely redo them when she got home. My sister had a similar experience... She HAD fairly long nails, and now they're so short, they don't even stick out above her fingertips, and her shellac nail polish wasn't applied correctly as to the guarantee that it lasts for 2 weeks or more. Also, the shellac costs an additional $8. Just a forewarning. Tina, you should be ashamed of yourself for running a greedy business, that obviously cares more about the almighty dollar than customer service. You lost 3 loyal customers last night, and I will be posting this review on every review site I can so other people know better than to come to your salon. P.S. Never trust a salon that has a sign-in sheet!!! This means they received a low health inspection score and are now having to keep track of all clients. Nails For You has a sign-in sheet, but doesn't make everyone sign-in... Hmmm... read more
