This salon is the best salon I've been so far in portland. Everyone is nice and polite. It's not crowded and its super clean. Owner is really friendly and helpful. I looked for a perfect nail salon for a long time and I'm so glad I found them. They are a bit pricey but the quality of their work worth every penny! read more

Onyx Salon - Acrylic short nail - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been trying to find the perfect salon in the Pearl for a while now and I finally feel like I may have found it! I made an appointment the day before and was able to do a 10:00 manicure next day. The staff was nice and friendly. The work was good. I'm really excited to go back and try getting a design done! Cash preferred? They had an ATM in the front. The place itself was clean and nice. They had tons of colors, including those fun magnet wave ones! read more

Found onyx salon on google maps while looking for nail salon close to my hotel. Onyx was just about a three minute walk away so it was the perfect option for a quick manicure while on vacation. I called and made a reservation the week before because I had a busy day planned. My mom later decided they wanted to join me, when she called they offered up another time, but after she mentioned I was getting mine done earlier they said she could come in too, and actually brought another person in to do her nails at the same time. The manicure was quick and they did a nice job. About a week and a half later and my nails are just starting to chip. There was nothing special and the manicure and the hand massage was minimal, but it was perfect for what I needed and my limited time. Salon was peaceful, decorated to be zen and had the music to match. read more

Love it here. Great service, beautiful space. Bibi is a complete professional. Highly recommend!

WORST NAIL SHOP DT Portland (Click the photo)! This is the type of salon where they tell you they can do anything then completely do their own thing & when you voice concerns tell you "it's okay". Where you can show multiple photos and in the end it's like a "what I asked for vs what I got" disaster. Also, a major concern was when the nail tech made my finger bleed and acknowledged it she continued doing my nails, touching my blood then touching her tools/drill & polish. I had to ask her for a bandaid. When I voiced my concerns with the shape I was told I could go back to where I came from. The tech then refused service to my mother who said nothing and was getting a pedicure by a totally different technician. To say the least horrible customer service, unsanitary, discriminatory and overall terrible service. read more

I have been going to Onyx for the last three years and won't go anywhere else in Portland! I stop in about once every month and always get great service. Whether I walk in or make an appointment, they are always prompt and I very rarely wait. They've got a great selection of colors for regular mani/pedi and especially gel colors...they're always getting new on trend colors. BB, Tina, and Vihn are the best of the best. I've had the pleasure of having BB and Vihn work with me but today Tina finished up my gel manicure and I am so happy with the results! She did such a great job and was very friendly. I appreciate how the staff here takes their time and delivers amazing results. They are also very familiar with their regular customers and I am always greeted by name when I come in. If you're in the Pearl District and are in need of a mani/pedi for great value, go to Onyx Salon! read more

I cannot recommend this place more highly! I haven't gotten a manicure in years. Here in Oregon for a wedding. They were technically closed but I asked Viví if there was any possible way they could work on my hails because of said wedding. She said yes and was very careful and thoughtful. So so kind. Due to my disability manicures can be quite difficult but they was so accommodating. I could not be more appreciative! This was the only place open after 6 (though technically I should have made an appointment). If you are in Portland stop by! I am so very thankful to this place. read more

Onyx Salon has been my go-to for a long time. They are clean and professional. Well priced, and current on colors. I always call ahead for my appointment but most often it's same day. I admit, I care more about how clean my nails look than I do about the massage element. I feel like they have me in and out promptly and I don't mind that the massage is brief unless you add on extra time and hot paraffin which I have certainly done. It's lovely. Thank you Onyx team! read more

This place is very relaxing. I came here because my friend Karlos and Jade who are regulars come here frequently and have been telling me to come for the last few months. I finally came in with my coworker tonight after work. The staff was very friendly, Bibi and another guy gave me a beautiful pedicure. They have a great color selection. And this place has a great atmosphere. I work in NW and it was only a 5 min drive from my work. The staff stayed open past salon hours to accommodate my late night work schedule. I will definitely be coming back and refer my friends to come here! Could not be happier with my service I received. So happy I found such a convenient place next to my work! read more

Onyx Salon - Gel pedicure- color #216 - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I once received a gift certificate to Onyx. The actual card was small and nondescript, with only the name "Onyx," an address, and a dollar amount. So I get this gift...and I have no IDEA what the gift was for. Something called "Onyx" could be so many things! Was it a jewelry store or perhaps a cute little boutique? Was it a male strip club? Or a restaurant? Or a male strip club? (Just askin'...) Far to embarrassed to simply ask the giver "hey - what the heck IS Onyx?" I just decided to go for it - and one afternoon I timidly showed up at a small store front in an industrial section of the Pearl...dun dun dunnnnnnn.... I was immediately transported to Zen-topia. Onyx is not a spa as I initially thought from the decor, but actually a nail salon. They managed to move away from that sterile salon-feel, and create an environment of comfort and relaxation. They call themselves a "nail spa," which I found quite fitting. 2 hours later, my fingers and toes looked like they had been visited by the pretty pretty princess brigade. The $70 gift card covered both the spa mani and pedi, as well as a 20% tip. Not prices I was jumping up and down over, but again...Gift card. (Turns out, they picked the name Onyx because of the ancient Greek word Onux, meaning finger nail. Why they didn't just call it Onux, the world will never know.) read more

This salon is great! They were so friendly and accommodating. Clean and cautious and followed all Covid protocols. Prices were reasonable. Most importantly they did a great job! So glad they're my new local nail salon! read more

This is my new fav nail salon. They do an excellent job on both manicures & pedicures; going above and beyond expectations. The ladies are very thorough with callus removal, cleanup up underneath the nail bed and removing cuticles. They make you feel relaxed and never rush you out in order to get a new client quickly in. I've never needed a reservation, just waked in and had a short wait in a massage chair whilst they were preparing for me. All of the ladies are super friendly and helpful with helping me put my shoes and jacket on whilst my nails were drying. Even if I messed them up, it wasn't a problem...they quickly repainted them with a smile. Overall, it's a lovely, clean salon and I'm happy to come back! read more

Onyx Salon is amazing! I had a pedicure and acrylics put on by the owner. She did amazing work. She files coffin style nails perfectly and I loved my French manicure. Her polishing is top notch, too! I would highly recommend! read more

Spa-like atmosphere was really relaxing, and probably the main reason I will go back. The employee (I forgot his name, a young taller man) did a great job in my gel mani, and most importantly to me- did not try to force small talk on my like most salon employees seem to. The small negatives: sign said walk-ins welcome, but she curtly told me to come back in 2 hours to be fit in, which is fair since I didn't have an appt. I also asked for an eyebrow wax, and she confirmed a second time that I only wanted eyebrows. When I went upstairs, a different women did the waxing and didn't get the memo, and before I knew it she had wax on my lip (my eyes were closed, otherwise I would have stopped her). I let her finish it, since once the wax was on there there really wasn't another option. At the end, she offered not to charge me for the lip, which was the right thing to do and a resolution I was fine with. read more

OHMYGOSH I come from LA, tried a beaverton place, horrible nails. Came to Onyx, holy wow she GETS fingies!!!! Not thick nails, perfect shape for my hands, and everyone ive sent in. and they dont break off. Bottom line, 1000000000 stars. read more

Terrible experience, mani pedi was totally rushed. They tried to complete the manicure during the pedicure itself and nails were not properly cleaned/buffed/polished. There was hardly any massage and no paraffin treatment. May be one-off experience but I am not going back. read more

BB and her excellent team are highly skilled, super efficient and very sweet. I usually get the mani pedi and feel really satisfied and peaceful after my visit. I can't recommend them enough! read more

This place used to be my favorite , however recently it's been pretty bad. I was there last month and the guy was in a rush he didn't even put lotion on my legs after the scrub. They all left us girls upstairs w no lotion and took off downstairs to help the other clients. It was so weird we just sat there and had to get out shoes on and go. Tried going today and the owner turned me away, I always tip very well so I'm not sure why the change in service. Unfortunately I won't be going here anymore. read more

Very clean salon and always high quality service. Good selection of colors. Street parking almost always available.

After multiple nail salons in the Portland area, I have found my spot. Never though I would be a regular but I am, acrylics are on point. Plus the pedicures they actually take the time. read more

Onyx isn't a typical nail salon. When you make an appointment they really keep your time available, everyone who works there seems happy and like they love what they do. Extra touches- elevated pedicure chairs so that technicians aren't so bent over, gloves to protect your skin from the uv in the shellac cookers, scrub and paraffin always included, no extra charge. The owner, Bebe, is a master of customer service, and just a fun and wonderful person. The quality of manicures and pedicures are next level! read more

They booked me the same-day for a manicure and I can't stop looking at my nails! They are fast and affordable and I hope to visit them again! read more

Super cute, clean, friendly. We were greeted with a smile and offered tea and water right away. The pedicures are wonderful and we had warm neck pillows and enjoyed the massage chairs. I would recommend this salon as one of the friendly and reasonably priced places to get pampered in the pearl. Tina did a beautiful job with my mani and pedi read more

Onyx Salon - My nails were done perfect! Thank you Onyx Salon!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Good place for a super-fast mani-pedi, mine was done in 35 minutes flat. Sometimes, you just don't feel like hanging out for the typical two-hour, full-service deal. It isn't the place to go if you want careful attention to detail or a spa experience. read more

We moved into the same building as this wonderful salon--& absolutely love that we can support our neighbor's business wholeheartedly. Both my dude & I have been athletes our whole lives + our business includes a LOT of time on our feet....our toes & heels have taken quite a beating over the years....but every time we leave here from a pedicure/scrub/massage, our feet look (& FEEL!) unbelievably good. The salon is spotless, all the techs pay meticulous attention to what works best for YOUR feet, not just the same ol'-same ol' for everyone, & it shows in their results. They've helped tremendously with the pressure points I get from long-term stiletto wear & they've relieved the pain in both of my dude's big toenails which had been crushed by dumbbells & helped them finally grow straight & flat for the first time in years. Even though we'll be moving to a new building soon in the Pearl, we have already agreed that we'll continue to return to Onyx due to their professionalism & genuine care for their clientele! read more

I was treated so well at this salon that I really have found home for my nails. They were very busy but where able to see me and I'm glad I waited they gave me a heated neck bag to warm me up from the cold chill that day then some nice hot tea. They treated me like I was the only one in the salon and with great respect. Keep up the good work girls oh and did I forget to mention the very handsome man that also does the nails? Well lady's he's not available when I go there next time because I will make an appt to see him oooooh read more

Pros: quick application, relatively decent nail shape, clean work space. Cons: I got cut twice, my nails were very, very thin which looked nice for about two days before the corners started busting, the nail tech was not very personable so it was an awkward 45 minutes, he ran late 15 so I had to wait even though I had an appt. (I was almost late for work) The nail tech, Kevin, was talking on the phone the whole time and didn't even care to make conversation. Basically for 10 dollars less I could go somewhere else and get better service. This was no "spa" experience. The techs apathetic "I don't want to be here" attitude said it all. I wouldn't reccomend this fast food "nail spa" to anyone. Nail studio, in Lloyd Center, may not always be the quickest; the reason why I decided to try someplace new, but they do offer excellent friendly service at a decent price. read more

Got a gel manicure from Onyx after a recommendation from a friend and I'm so pleased with the outcome! I had all but sworn off gels since they never lasted as long as the price warrants. Tina did a great job! 3 weeks later, there's a small crack on the side of one nail but it's hardly noticeable. Besides the obviously grow-out, you'd never know it had been so long. I'll be a return customer. read more

Been meaning to find a pedi spot around alphabet/pearl district and glad I found this place. I am very specific with pedicures (callus removal, cleaning, paint job are a must). Place doesn't smell congested with chemicals, they offered tea and a warm neck compress; massage was reasonable ; they also put this asian cream for that menthol feel on legs and feet (refreshed and relaxed) -- definitely going to be my go-to around this area. Thank you bibi and vinh! read more

I've been here about 5 times and my manicure experience always goes like this: 1. Quick greeting and seating 2. Offered tea or water 3. A warm neck wrap 4. Gloves to protect against UV rays from the dryer 5. A little hand massage at the end BB usually does my shellac manicures and I am always very happy. She is fun, talkative, and talented. All the female employees are very friendly and sweet. read more

Onyx Salon - Great ambiance! - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've never paid more for a regular full set before, and it is literally the worst nail job I've ever had. The shellac dried on my skin and had to be peeled off, they were rushing and to top it off, it hasn't even been a week and one of the nails has fallen off. No, not broken off, FALLEN off. Don't waste your money here. read more

BB is the owner, and she has her husband doing nails too - I doubt he's licensed!!! She rushes you through, constantly complains about other clients, and yesterday offered another client a glass of wine and didn't even offer me a glass of water....this is not the first time she's done this. I have been a loyal client, always tip over 20%, and have given her thousands of dollars worth of clothes over the years instead of giving them to Goodwill and getting a tax write off, but after multiple times of sitting there watching her give other clients glasses of wine without ever offering me the same, I am going back to Elegant Nails off of 23rd. St., where BB used to work. You do NOT treat loyal clients like this! read more

Not overly priced, and the ambiance is clean. However, my service wasn't anything exceptional and my toes chipped upon leaving, and my fingernails were soon to follow. I understand taking walk-ins, but kicking me out of the chair isn't quite fair. As soon as I grabbed my purse to get out of the chair so another customer could use it, I smudged my index finger. If my nails are wet enough to smudge, I probably shouldn't be getting out of the chair. There were three of us, pre-wedding manis and pedis, but we had to ask to be seated next to each other and when we tried to move into the spa pedicure chairs, they told us it was too late. Price is good. Place is clean. Just a few logistics to work out. read more

Don't waste your time. They are unprofessional and don't take walk-ins even though signage says it's welcome....
