My hand looks weird - but nails are perf
Cassie B.

Got a dip manicure and it was absolutely perfect. First time I feel like the nail tech was paying more attention than me - checking every angle. Highly recommend.

8/1/2023 ... I brought the design. They matched it perfectly.

I've had my eclectic nails done by all nail techs and I've received super service and skill every time. This is my sixth set of custom nails. I'll post more pics!

Tried this pace for the first time and I'm surprised by how much I like my nails. I usually have an issue with the shape, quality, or overall look when getting acrylic nails. I like my nails to look thin and even, and a lot of techs struggle to achieve that. Amy did an impeccable job on my nails and was done in under 45 minutes. I have to agree with some other reviews that the salon could be a bit tidier, but overall, I was very happy with my experience.

I love love love this place! Not the most fancy...but all of the lovely women that work there-do the best pedicures and manicures EVER! They really care about doing a good job. Best to call and reserve if you can

These ladies always do an amazing job. They each have their own talent and send you to the right one to get what you want. Everytime I go I'm in love with my nails! On nice days they leave the front doors open and there is fresh air in there. So relaxing and convenient. I usually call ahead to make an appointment and can get in the same day. If you haven't been give them a try and I'm sure you'll love it!

Can honestly say this is one of the best nail salons in Portland. The amount of work and attention these ladies put into getting the shape right and consistency with acrylic powder makes the experience worth it alone. I've gone to a couple of salons in the area and my nails have chipped or broken after a week, with only normal activity. I'm always impressed by my nails after I leave Nu Nails, and they are affordable for anyone who doesn't have a disposable income. I will continue to use their services and recommend for anyone searching for a place in downtown Portland.

Amy did such a good wonderful job and gave me the gradient nails I really wanted! She was super quick, clean, and I'll definitely be back.

Acrylics done at Nu Salon!! I'm in love

Amy is so amazing and so are the other girls here! She did a wonderful job on my acrylics and the shape was literally on pointe lol I'm so stoked to have found her and will always be coming here for acrylics from now on ^_^

Favorite by far. I drive out of my way to get my nails done here because they are consistently superb with great prices. Cam is an absolute artist and gives the best pedicures/manicures I've ever had. Thank you!!!

dip mani

Inconsistent service. I'll attach photos of the nail sets i received within a month at the same place, although different individuals did my nails. Anyways I was shocked that they thought the blue manicure was ok. Received the pink and went back excited for blue and the difference is shocking.

Sadie W.

They are the best at shaping acrylic nails!! They always make them look so so good and never thick or uneven. They are also really fast and great when you're in a rush. Not to mention how good the quality is, these blue nails lasted me over a month and none of them broke! Love this place so much and would highly highly recommend especially for acrylics.

Regular pedicure with Amy is anything but regular, she was very gentle, but still able to be tough on my rough toes.

Four stars for Kimmie's patience! I visit Portland every summer for work, and was in search of a…read morelash technician while here, and came across Miss Knockout (after analyzing many Yelp reviews + noticing her experience with Asian eyes). I opted for a textured volume cat eye style, and Kimmie delivered - they initially looked amazing. Now, here is the explanation for why I have to ultimately dock two stars. While we're still ironing out lash retention issues (my right eye seems to be shedding more quickly than my left one - maybe the heat and humidity of Portland summers is the culprit?), Kimmie has been understanding and has scheduled me in for quick touch ups. I understand Kimmie has an extremely busy personal and professional life, but for me to have to take time off work to Uber to her salon is also frustrating for me as well. Even after my quick touch-up, I am still experiencing some lash shed, which should not occur so quickly. A fan even shed the same day of the touch-up which is frustrating. I've never really experienced this issue with any other lash tech, from LA to Portland. In fact, after my last touch-up just two days ago, I have already managed to collect at least eight (!) more fans that have shedded. However, I feel bad about constantly contacting the salon for the same issue. It's probably frustrating on both of our ends. I just want to note that I am a back sleeper and extremely careful about not getting my lashes wet, even when showering. So I know that my lash care is not the culprit - I suspect maybe my lashes have not been cleaned and prepped properly beforehand. After reading other reviews, it seems like there is one other general consensus - perhaps the lash glue MK uses is not of the best quality, as retention is dismal. Also, another small issue that rubbed me the wrong way is that when I called, the lady over the phone offered a 10% off promo for new customers, but when it came time to pay for my service, the 10% discount wasn't honored. I would've used that 10% discount as a cash tip towards Kimmie anyway, so I think ultimately it was a small gesture that she should have honored. Oh well. Regardless of not honoring the promo, I tipped anyway, at the end of the day. On a positive note, the MK space is very well-appointed and beautifully decorated, with snacks and drinks for waiting clients. I appreciated this little touch and level of customer service. And because Kimmie is a hardworking business owner, I hope for the sake of her business that it thrives!

I am new to the area and needed to find my new lash gal! I am extremely picky and have had years of…read moreexperience with lashes! I think I know my stuff with lashes! After reading lots of reviews and analyzing photos, I came across Miss Knockout. I made an appointment with Kimmie to have a new full set of lashes (after a long hiatus I was ready to get them back!!!), and brow tint/trearment. Let me just tell you besides being absolutely lovely and fun to chat with, she is amazing at her craft! My lashes and brows look amazing, and I can't be more thrilled with the results. The decor is so elegant and pretty, you will feel amazing when you leave!
