Finally! A place where I feel relaxed and where my desires are understood and honored. When my regular salon closed during covid I was left without realistic salon options that checked the same boxes. Fast forward to Jun 7th 2025! I had an amazing appointment with Ally and have finally found my new go-to salon. Thank you!!!! read more

Purple Door - French tip manicure on natural nails with a pearl top coat - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I went here for a mani and pedi. I know, it's like coffee shops, there are so many of them - how does this one stand out? First, it's not like some places - a sea of chairs. This place is smaller, much more cozier. There were two chairs! Second, the attention to detail is higher. The soaking tubs for the feet are better and it's more about pedicure than a long massage. Third, the overall atmosphere is warm and cozy. Sometimes it might feel like you are in a grocery store at other places. Not here - warm, nice music (and it isn't spa music!), and very friendly people. It's worth a visit. read more

The purple door is thee best place to get your nails done professionally in Portland. Years ago I went to a chop shop nail salon where your just a number in a line and got a cut on my toe that turned into an infection that took a year of antibiotics and two surgeries to clear up. So I'm very particular. I go to Allie and she is very clean and precise with her work and I like that she doesn't try to dig or do things without asking. She is an artist. She Does excellent nail art and is always up to try something new. The salon is cute and clean and has tons of nail color options. This is where you go to find your nail stylist for life. So when you go remember to be patient and trust that they will spend the time and effort on your nails that a quality nail tech should. No more of these chop shops. I'm a lifer now. read more

Taylor does the best job on my eyebrows. I always feel pampered. she is so sweet and always finds time for me.

Service was good but unfortunately when I took the polish off my nails, my nails had been stained yellow. I have never had this happen before and it was just OPI nail polish (which I use at home too) and so it had to have been something in the pre-nail polish that caused the nail color change. read more

Missy goes above and beyond, and performs her services with love and care. I have been looking for a mani-pedi person since I moved to Portland six years ago, and am so glad I found Missy -- she's the one for me, and I highly recommend her. read more

I've been coming to this salon for 25 years and have gotten services from many nail techs but Kelley is by far the best. She does an awesome pedicure with a great foot massage and the company is unmatched. I definitely recommend booking an appointment with Kelley. You won't be disappointed. read more

Purple door was recommended to me by someone I worked with. Why did I wait so long to try it out?? This place is so lovely! They take their time with you and really want to make your experience a good one. I got acrylic nails put on -- French Ombré style--and absolutely love them Bonnie is an amazing artist and truly wants a happy customer. She asks a lot of questions to make sure she knows what you want. It's a relaxing environment and a cute salon. If you are tired of the rushed hubbub of some of the other places, you'll find Purple Door a refreshing change worth trying, and returning to. read more

Purple Door - Acrylic nails in French Ombré - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

This is a charming little nail salon that really prides itself on CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I am super picky about my nails, I have gels, and I had to find a new nail tech after mine went back to North Carolina!! Needless to say, after calling about 25 salons in Beaverton, LO and PDX - I decided that Purple Door was a good bet to try. Denise is my new girl and she is skilled, patient and very nice. She really took the time to ask me about my expectations as a new client and was willing to order a gel color that she normally does not carry. I have had three great services (pink and white gel) and am looking forward to trying out the pedicure services soon. Did I mention that I drive from SW Beaverton to get my nails done?? Yes, Denise is that good!! read more

Lisa M. at Purple Door = peace, harmony, beautiful feet, and utter relaxation. I'm not sure why I never popped my head in to Purple Door. I've gone by hundred's of times in the past 10 years. You should learn from me and book an appointment now. Purple Door is a clean, modern, calm oasis of manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxing. I went in for a pedicure. I selected the most basic of the three options. I loved the experience. Rather than a large room with wall to wall pedicure chairs and lots of noise and distractions, Purple Door is arranged for privacy. The pedicure room has two amazing massage chairs so you can go with a friend. I walked out of the salon on soft beautiful feet, it was like walking on clouds of peacefulness. read more

This cute spot is always the perfect place to treat yourself to some pampering. The nail technicians there treat everyone like a VIP guest.

If you want the real deal, this is where you go! I have been going to Kelly for shellac manicures and finally treated myself to a pedi. Wow! Wow! Wow! She took such great time and care on my feet! They feel like a million bucks! This salon has been around a long time. They have excellent service and their prices are fair. Run, don't walk here...Go past the other cheap salons and make an appt here! read more

This review is only for facial services from Julie - I haven't had any other services here. I've now been here a few times so I can say the first time wasn't a fluke - Julie is great! She takes the time to asses your skin each time you go in and doesn't just use the same products. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is not because of anything that really bothers me but you can hear noise from the nail services happening in the other part of the salon and when the door opens. I'm able to tune this out so it doesn't really bother me but if you are looking for a fully "zen" experience then just keep that in mind. I promise though - Julie is worth it! read more

Never been happier with my acrylics. I will admit, it threw me off when I realized they didn't have drills, but I take back my doubts. My nails look and feel amazing. The length, shape, color, and thiness is perfect! read more

Purple Door - Nail Salons Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've been going to Whitney for years. She is the best. always super nice and ready to try anything you want her to do. i've never been upset with the results and her prices are great. the whole staff is extremely nice and always happy to help with anything. 10/10 would always recommend them. read more

10/23/12: UPDATE - My esthetician left here ... super sad... so I don't go here any more. This review might not be as accurate now, but I wouldn't delete b/c I am not sure of how their services are at this point. ************************************************************************************** 7/7/11: This place is worth the visit! I can only, personally, speak to the facials but they also do nails/pedi's and have heard good things about them. The price of the facial was incredible. I'll let you call to get prices but I can tell you it was less than half what I have paid and checked prices on other salon's. The prices beat Groupon discount prices. I had a lactic peel with a calming mask and it was great. Ruth spent 45 - 50 mins on me and did a great job. I will be going back to get the beni's of repeat treatment now that I can afford it... so excited about that! Ruth is super nice and really works to make you feel taken care of. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the aesthetics isn't that of the obsequious spa environment or extra services but if you just need to get a good facial at an affordable price then... YOU MUST TRY!! read more

Denise is wonderful! Great manicures and pedicures. They last forever! The salon is private and super clean. It's a great relaxing experience. read more

I have been going here for years. I don't know why I haven't written a review before! I started going here because I was sick of my nails peeling from the other products used at different nail salons. The price is a bit more (and only a bit) than many of the "walk in" places, but there are reasons for that! I am never rushed, my nails look great, and they don't peel! Everyone here is wonderful, but I regularly see Lisa and I adore her. Skilled, friendly, and funny. I highly recommend Purple Door. read more

Julie was so friendly! She gave me a full tour and welcomed me in. Also, she did a great job on my eyebrows! She was very personable, efficient, and helpful. I'll definitely be back! Purple Door is a lovely and cozy (yes, small) salon with a lot of very nice people and a good vibe. Recommended. read more

Julie did magic on my face yesterday and I absolutely loved it and so did my skin! It was dry and clogged up and after leaving it was clean and smooth like baby's skin. I truly felt refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated! I asked her questions all through the time because I'm a curious one and wanted to know what she was applying on my skin. She's the sweetest explained professionally and to the point. I liked that she said "you want to feed good food to the skin" and she does just that by using 100% organic Eminence skin care line known to nature. Made with vitamins,amino acids, fruits, vegetables and herbs! It doesn't get any better then that! I left home happy and satisfied. read more

This review is solely directed toward the esthetician services. The esthetician (Julie) @ the Purple Door is purely AMAZING. I receive facial services such as....waxing, facials, and microdermabrasion. Since falling into her services my skin is so healthy and fresh, I'm so fortunate to receive daily compliments on my skin and brows because of Julie. I also appreciate her insight and expertise on facial/beauty products. I've tried other institutions, but they just don't compare to the skill level and experience Julie has to offer. My face is always assessed and any problem areas are catered to. The room is very clean, organized and relaxing. I don't know why it has taken me so long to write a review but better late then never!, I hope to make an app this week to keep this face glowing. read more

This review is for Julie, for waxing. She's so good that I can actually almost fall asleep during a full leg and bikini wax. Seriously. She somehow manages to pull the strips off in a way that is pretty painless. Additionally, she's really good at following my lead in how much chatting I want to do. If I bring up something in conversation she is happy to chat, but if I want to just be silent and nap she understands and lets me rest while she works. Her fee is quite a bit less than the high-end waxing salons in the area. Expert quality, superb service at a reasonable price? I'm a customer for life. read more

Guys should feel very comfortable going to Julie for waxing. Very kind, efficient, easy to schedule. Comfortable environment. I've been going to her every few months, and I'm a fan. Small place. Easy parking. Takes credit card. Thumbs up. read more

This review is a reflection of my experience working with Julie, the esthetician at the salon. I started seeing Julie when I was 7 months pregnant with twins. I instantly felt confident in her expertise and appreciated how she accommodated my ever growing belly : ) Her space was also immaculate - a clean salon is something very important to me. It's been a year now and I still go to see Julie for my monthly leg wax. Her services range from facials, to waxing, to eyebrow tinting, and much more! She's great at what she does, is kind in nature, and is truly a professional. I highly recommend her, I feel lucky to have found her!! read more

I see Kelley at the Purple Door for foot transformation. I am formerly a hairdresser with a salon/spa in San Francisco. I am not kidding when I say I have never met such a meticulous and style conscious nail technician like Kelley. She turns the work of a simple pedicure in to a science - her great personality and the relaxing experience are just icing on the cake. Kelley provides the quality & experience of $100 pedicure for half the price! A super-deluxe pedicure with all the works are $50. A deluxe pedi is $45 and a basic is $40. I have to book ahead with her though, she fills up quickly...and it's not hard to see why. read more

My nails are not good looking but Denise is very focused on detail and a perfectionist. She makes them look better than any I've had in my 20 years of getting professional manicure. I get Shellac and it lasts 3 weeks with only minor knicks. read more

Purple door is a super cute, charming salon! I go to Julie for my waxing and facials. She does a wonderful job!!! She takes her time and knows what she's doing! I absolutely love the organic eminence products she uses and have been personally using them for the past 5 years! I always leave feeling fresh and rejuvenated when I'm done! I've also got a manicure and pedicure done here and was very satisfied! Everything is super clean and tidy. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Kelley has been doing my nails for some time now and she always does a fantastic job! even after i get my nails taken off (or shellac) they are in great condition! If you want a facial Julie also can help you with a corrective facial or microdermabrasion. She is very professional and attentive to my skin. I highly recommend these two ladies and this place :) read more

Couldn't be happier! The staff at Purple Door are so sweet, and Whitney was a doll!! She listened to exactly what I wanted, took her time, and made my nails look like complete perfection! Loved her, loved the salon, love my job! read more

Rondee is such an artist- Plus she is such a sweetheart inside and out I can't recommend this place enough all the girls do a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!!!! read more

GREAT and GREAT! Julie has been doing my eyebrows for over a year now and I am ALWAYS very happy with the way they look. I have been to far more expensive salons that literally ripped my skin off while waxing and left me with a shape that was their idea of good--not mine. I am always given a mirror to check the work and asked if I am happy with it. Can honestly say that I have been happy every single time. Truly. I look forward to my appts with Julie as she is not only very kind and gentle, but she is good at what she does. I am so thankful for Purple Door Salon and the freindly staff. I highly recommend Julie for all your waxing needs! :) read more

The pedicure was the best I have ever had. The service, the atmosphere, the communication......all top notch. They are not the 20 minute slam bam service and can't understand you when you say what you want. You get what you are paying for here. So worth the distance that I travel (20 miles) and the length of time I have to wait for an appointment. They are busy for a reason. You won't regret going here. read more

Definitely nothing special about their pedicures. I had someone named Julie and she was snarky from the beginning because I did not like the smells. She informed me it was a nail salon after all, than when I commented that my skin around my toes was still very rough after she had smooth it, she told me that I had to go to the next level of service $45.00 if I need more. How about any! She left me to struggle putting on my sandals without hurting the polish while she went into the other room. Terrible experience, I could do a much better job myself and the $20 salons are as good if not better. Don't waste your money here. read more

I've been going to Purple Door for over 10 years. Getting my nails done is one of the little luxuries I allow myself. Kelley has done a great job and it's easy to become friends w/ the gals that work there - they're a wonderful bunch. The pedicures there are the best, with comfortable massaging chairs and great jet tubs. Every time I try to get a pedicure somewhere else, I come away disappointed. They are a little pricier than other nail salons, but I don't worry about the cleanliness of their shop or procedures and there are no electronic drills whirring about making noise and burning my cuticles. I couldn't go anywhere else! read more
