The ladies at Shellac Nails are beyond wonderful. They give me a wonderful experience every time I go in! When I am getting my nails or toes done I watch them as they accommodate every client they meet with the same friendly and enthusiastic service that they give me. Cam did a wonderful pedicure for me and has the best nail art in town. Lou is my go-to gal for my shellac manicure. My manicure lasts for over 4 weeks!! I only had to get them redone because of the grow out!! Then there is Phoung. She does my eyebrows. I usually get very red and maybe get a bump or two when I am waxed. Not with Phoung, she did a perfect job and I didn't have any bumps afterward. I highly recommend these ladies if you want class A service. They really know what they are doing!! read more

The staff here are incredibly friendly. They offered me chips (I politely declined) and actually made an effort to have a conversation with my friend and I. My first experience here was wonderful, I've come here about three times and have had a wonderful experience. I came with my friend as we called in for an appointment and they were incredibly flexible and patient with us. Our nail technician was named Cami, we had lots of genuine conversations as I was there for three hours. I got a beautiful end result. The staff here are very friendly and the place is clean. I would go here again! read more

DONT GO TO HELEN... or anybody else here This place is awful don't be fooled by the good reviews I been here multiple times to get the same services done. If you don't like how they come out don't say anything cause they won't want you returning. I have never been rejected anywhere before. I am a loyal customer and tip very well. Karma is a b**** . Not professional at all stay away and find somewhere who will enjoy doing your services there just in it for the money don't care about the people. Save yourself please any future people who want to go here. I know you see where it says Helen does a good job at pedicures sure she does great but she takes 3 hours and is not nice at all. Doesn't care how you are doing. She complains when you even simply just ask her to file a toenail down it's like the end of the world. She will say things here and there but is fake and doesn't appreciate what the customer wants . If you complain at all on how she does something she will turn it on you and make it seem like your the problem not her. My friend went here as well for the same thing and won't be returning. Instead of telling you she doesn't want to do services with you any more she will just say she is going on vacations and doesn't know when she will be back. So rude so unprofessional. The bathroom stinks like someone died in there and there not clean especially for being in a pandemic STAWY AWAY don't be fooled by the good reviews!!!!I'm read more

went in asking for theses nails and came out like this fail !! Will not be returning to this place again my nails are just plain embarrassing!! read more

I've been a loyal customer of shellac nails for past 2 years. But the way I was treated today was beyond excusable. They have zero customer service. They asked me to leave mid-service for shellac manicure because I was not satisfied with the untrained person who was servic. They had a new employee who wasn't properly trained and kept making mistakes. Had I not gone to this place earlier I wouldn't have known. Firstly she missed to put any paraffin wax and was moving straight to painting during the pedicure. I pointed it out so thats when it happened. Its a part of the basic pedicure service and then I am being asked if I still want it. After that moving onto my shellac manicure this person barely knew how to even file nails. Then her co-worker tell me she is upset, so if you are not happy you can leave. This happened mid-service. Instead of asking someone else to do my nails I was asked to leave just because of their untrained person was upset. I am not paying for shitty service. I have never written a review for this place and mostly liked their service except this time. I don't think I would be returning to such horrible customer service. If there was a spot to give them a zero star I would. read more

I'm surprised this nail salon has low ratings. They always do a great job and are so accommodating when I do walk-ins. If they have a long wait they'll let me know instead of having me wait. I live in North Portland now and I been to a couple of nails salons around here but they never meet my expectations. I've been driving back to Hillsboro because the ladies here are great! Also, they've taken precautionary measures to help flatten the curve as they have plexiglass on each station. read more

Everyone is always nice and mellow here. I've never had a problem getting an appointment with or without calling ahead. Pedis are always a treat and Shellac Nails hasn't disappointed me yet ! read more

I went back to have it fixed and was very impressed. He explained that he is used to using shellac and you can just wipe it away. I tipped him again because he did such a good job fixing it. I will go back again, maybe just not with a complicated design. read more

Excellent place to get your nails done! The ladies there are super nice, they were so busy but still made time to get us in. Fong did my nails she was great she made sure I liked them throughout the process. They didn't rush to get us out the door, and we laughed and had a great time! It was my first time there but I felt like I knew them forever, and will be back to get my fill! See you next month ladies! Go and check them out strongly recommend them! read more

I called to ask how much it costs for a full set of shellac (because they do not have a website and their coupon online in clipper expired months ago). A woman answered and I asked how much for a full set, she asked me (in a very heavy accent) for whole nail or French? I said, "full," then she said a number which I couldn't understand so I said, "sorry?" and she screamed in my ear a number. To this day I do not know not what she said, but if she was that rude on the phone I will never walk in and expect a good service . Hint to owner, build a website or spend more time in public communicating in the local language. read more

Went here mid-day an employee was sitting down in massage chair got up asked what i needed done...shellac mani she said ok hold on she picked up cell phone started speaking different language and then gave me the phone to talk, the guy said i will be back in about ten to fifteen i said no thanks i will pass...wow what kind of business is this??? No customers no employees to work why are you open? read more

This is definitely one of the best places that I've been to. I've been here twice now and getting ready to go for a third time. The first time I had Helen and the second time Cam did my nails. Both are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Cam has some wonderful nail art I can recommend. She is also willing to do any custom design. Looking forward to returning! read more

I tried this place for the first time for Shellac. AWFUL results. Do not come here! I have been getting Shellac nails done in red for over a year at my regular nail salons. I saw them advertising a special and popped in to get my red shellacs done. Results: -The edging bled onto my cuticles and skin around my nails. -For those of you who are familiar with the Shellac process, once it dries on during the UV process, it's really tough to remove. -I told the gal she needs to clean it as she is applying, and she said "don't worry, I'll make it nice later" -OK. I knew this was going to be a disaster. -After the last UV dry, she tried to scrub off the red bleed with her fingernails and a little acetone. To no avail, she exclaimed "All done!" -My girlfriend was also appalled at the way my nails looked. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I was driving by at around 7:30 PM, giving up on finding an open nail salon. I saw the "open" sign and turned right in. Their door said they close at 7 but I saw people inside so I took a chance (last minute Vegas trip the follow day, I was desperate). They welcomed me in SO graciously and said they'd do whatever I wanted. I just wanted a quick shellac as I felt bad for being so late. They were so so so sweet and made me feel at home, they even offered to get me Starbucks! The nail tech Cam helped me out and she was so amazing. Not only did she do an amazing job, but she me feel so welcomed. I've never had a nail place to call my own. I will definitely be a returning customer. Cheers to new friends! Thanks, Shellac! read more

I called a week ahead making an appointment to get my nails done for prom. I arrive first and 3 people who come later get seated before me, 1 of which was booked for the same time and 2 were walk ins. I decided to walk out and find somewhere else where they care about their customers and the order they come in. read more

Best place to get Shellac nails and also Pedicures !!!! It is under New management and all of the ladies are so friendly and very knowledgeable in what they are doing!!! The place is very clean with a nice environment and I am always offered something to drink when I come there. I am very picky with my shellac nails and I have been many places around Portland and this is by far the best !!! Thanks again ladies I will be seeing you soon ! read more

I have been getting my nails shellac'ed here for the past several months. The atmosphere is comfortable, the service is excellent, the price is reasonable ($54 for a shellac mani/pedi), and my nails look amazing. I like that they use the actual shellac brand here as it is less damaging to my nails. I have previously had the shellac knock-offs (at a lousy nail place in The Dalles... review pending) and not only it is a pain to get off the nail, but it stained and damaged the first few layers as well. Lastly, I have had my nails worked on by three different nail techs. All of them did excellent work. They didn't perform a rush job to get me out of the door (even though I am picky about the cut/shape/polish quality). If you want quality service for an excellent price, this is the place for you. read more

It was alright, got a full set with gel polish. People thought I did my nails myself though.. Not a compliment when I paid 50$

I decided to give this establishment benefit of the doubt, even though there are other salons nearby with better reviews. They close at 7 pm & called at 545 asking if they would have time for a mani and pedi today. This was the first time in 2 years I had my nails done & genuinely didn't know what to expect & would've scheduled another time. I told them I could be there in 15 min & they said yes. They asked for my name over the phone & I stated it was Krista and spelled it out. I arrived at 6 & Helen (she seemed to be in charge & the person I spoke w/on the phone) asked me if I was the one who called & asked me to sign in at the front desk. I signed in as Krista for a mani/pedi & sat down. Long (my nail tech) began preparing the pedicure station & I was seated there. As I was beginning to relax & pick out my nail color, Long started my pedicure. After a few minutes another nail technician approached me, moved the items off the my chair's table and began to take the polish off my finger nails. I put both my hands on the table to my left. The table is very narrow and meant to hold a drink or a phone. There is not enough room to lay both hands flat. In order to get my hands where they needed to be, I had to twist my back in an uncomfortable position & sit up away from the massage feature. I figured she was only taking the polish off & I could go back to relaxing & massage. I asked her in the midst of removing my polish if I could have the rest done at a nail station because I was looking forward to relaxing. She said no because they don't have time. Helen got up from a pedicure chair (she spent most of her time in that chair w/the massage on while using her phone) & she explained I didn't ask for both when I called & they don't have time for both. They told me this is the only option to have both the mani & pedi done today. I said I didn't want to get my nails done then because I wanted to enjoy my pedicure. The nail technician implied I wasn't honest in my intent to get a manicure done. They said the sign in sheet showed I was only signed up for the pedi & I wrote my name below on a new line asking for both. It was very confusing because the name above mine on the sign in sheet was Christina, which is not my name or close to my spelling. Also, they asked me to sign in when I arrived & I had spelled my name out over the phone: K-r-i-s-t-a. It didn't make any sense that "Christina" would've been me. I came in moments after another female customer. I was shocked when I realized they were implying I was trying to sneak in a manicure too. I felt ganged up on. They should've told me before they started taking my nail polish off that I'd have to get it done at the pedicure station. I could've made the decision then, but instead I left there with ruined fingernails. The nail technician didn't finish taking all of my polish off. Once I said I didn't want to get the manicure, she packed up & left. I spent the rest of the time trying to chip off what was left. My nails were sticky and very bothersome. They began speaking in a language I didn't understand, followed by laughter. I felt very intimidated & targeted, it was very mean. I was made to feel I did something wrong and now self-conscious of how my nails look. Long completed my pedicure & she did a great job. Long was pleasant & I really like how my toes look. I got up to pay and Helen said it was $41. Helen ran my card for $41.50. I looked for a sign stating they charge $0.50 to run a card. I couldn't locate a sign & asked Helen why it was more than quoted. She stated it was for the transaction fee & the owners choose not to display a sign. I told her I would've liked to have been told that before she ran my card. I could've paid with cash & she didn't offer to take my cash & void my card transaction. She defaulted to this being the owner's process & they are out of town. I felt very taken advantage of & was afraid if I left a tip for Long on my card, she wouldn't receive it. I decided to tip her $7 in cash instead. I will never go back there & I strongly advise you not to either. There are a few other places very close. The whole experience was very disappointing. I'm a mom, a wife & a full time employee. I don't get many opportunities to do things for myself & I wasted one of those times here. I am curious if they are putting themselves at risk for a class action lawsuit for not advertising they charge to use a card. If anyone had any information on that, please reply to my review. *the pics are how they left my nails. read more

Got my nails shellaced a few times here because of how close it is to my home. Each time I have been unimpressed by the quality. The Shellac begins to crack within the first week. I am not hard on my nails so cracking this soon is frustrating. The staff is friendly but I have had better experiences at other places in town. read more

Horrible....I went her because I had bad results from another place on 185th. NEVER will I return here. My nails are horrible. White tips...my butt how about horrible nails! Beware they are empty for a reason. read more

Walked in with two of my girls and they were able to take us right away. I know that is not the norm. We all got pedicures and shellac manicures. My oldest and I got our eyebrows waxed; my youngest got special designs on a couple of her nails. The girls smudged their toes and had to have some repainting done. Everyone working there was very friendly and stayed on top of things as clients continued to filter in. We will definitely be back. read more

They did take me right away for a shellac manicure but it went downhill from there. They used a electric file to take the old shellac off (I hate this!). It hurts, it's dusty, and I jus tdon't like it. The facilities and equipment were dirty. And to top it off my shellac on 1 finger peeled off today and my nail broke. I've learned my lesson: if a nail place isn't busy on a Friday afternoon, there's a reason. I won't be going back. read more

I had never had Shellac done on my nails before trying it at this place. When I went in the first time, I asked them what it was and how it was more beneficial than using acrylic. They explained it clearly to me. So I tried it. This was back in October-2013. Since then, I have been a fan of this place. They are the best nail technicians, and I trust them enough to give them carte blanche in picking designs and colors out for me. As a matter of fact, unlike other nail salons, they have never charged me extra costs for nail designs, or extra hidden costs for anything. I have now sent numerous friends and family members their way and they too have now become regular customers. I don't know why anyone would give them any negative feedback at at all. As a matter of fact, I don't know why people would even need to comment on how they speak, etc. I think it's really terrible to speak about someone's accent. As far as people complaining about how hard the product is hard to remove. Well, you should leave that to the technician to do. I've never had any problems or complaints about how hard it is to remove. I just don't do it myself. This should be left to them as professionals. They know what they're doing. Also, I've never had any problems with the product chipping. I'm very tough on my hands. I never feel as though I need to be extra cautious with the use of my hands. I clean my home, I do data entry every day, and do normal activities. I am very happy that I've become a loyal customer with them. I will never go anywhere else. They treat me with the best customer service! I have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for them to get me in a chair with-and-without an appointment. After reading the negative comments and feedback, I feel like those people are just abnormally unhappy. I am a very picky person, but know for a fact that I'm a very happy customer, and the people that I have referred are also just as happy! I will be always be a loyal customer!!!!! Oh and by the way, they do have a webiste with a menu of services that they offer! http://www.s-nails.com/ They're as Fabulous as they can be!!!!!! read more

The owner guy was a complete ass when I asked a simple question and told me to do it myself. Like uhh... Very rude. I shouldn't have let him finish honestly bc this is how they turned out but I felt uncomfortable and didn't want to make a scene... $40 for trash nails. Never going back. Do not recommend. read more

Never going back.. I normally get my nails done by my work in Sherwood but wanted my toes done today and it's close to my house. They have a menu for pedicures which is fine but cheapest one is 25.00 you have to pay extra 10.00 for shellac.. it's not that expensive geesh.. my shop includes it in the price like nail.polish.. most do! He told me no.. I knoe I go to my shop every three weeks for a nail fill which is 30.00 with shellac and a design.. as I sat there he said I needed callus scrub only 5.00 more you need nail kit 2.00 more.. and they want you to pay cash so they don't have to pay the credit card fee.. they even have an atm.. crazy.. my nail.place gives me a nice massage all the same that he did the wax etc.. everything and I pay 30.00 for a pedicure with shellac way to expensive. Almost 50.00 for a basic pedi.. not even the deluxe.. I'd you want new customers or return customers you need to lower your prices and quit trying to up sell everything.. if I want it I will ask.. won't be back.. read more

They do shellac nails right! I've been to several nail salons for a french manicure with shellac, and those other places make my nail polish too clumpy and thick that it cracks after a week. THIS place is great! My nail polish stays for 3 weeks! This place also has one of the cheapest places to get your eyelash extentions, and those last a while too! Love this place. read more

DO NOT GO HERE.... I came to this nail salon with my mom, I was getting acrylics and she was getting shellac. So we walked in and asked if they had time to do our nails, he said yes we do now. So we sat down we waited for over an hour before we got called on to get our nails done. I sit down and wait another 15 minutes before they start, once the girl came and sat down she said you want solar? And I said no I want acrylics and she said oh acrylics? And I said yes acrylic so she proceeds to start doing my nails gets about half way done and then leaves to go wax someone's eyebrows and a guy starts doing my nails and he kept leaving to go check people out when they were done. So by the time I got done I had been there for 2.5 hours and we go up to pay and he asked what I got done I said acrylics and he said oh no we did solar and I said no I asked for acrylics he said I know but solar last longer, my mom then told him next time before they just do it they need to ask, he said oh no solar better. So instead of paying 25 I paid over 50 for something I didn't even ask for and they look terrible. read more

So bad that I wish I could give it no stars! We've gone to nail salons in the past for basic manicures, pedicures and polish changes. We've never had a problem nor have I ever written a bad review. We tried Shellac Nails as one of my teen daughter's friends told her that this salon did inexpensive French Polish Manicures. The nail technician asked my daughters if they wanted Shellac and my girls kept saying, "No, just a regular French Manicure." They ended up coming home in tears, being treated rudely by the manager, paying $60 (over double what they budgeted to pay) and with a full set of acrylic nails?! They are young teens! They had nice nails before this and I didn't want them to have fake nails (neither did they). When I called to talk to the manager, he screamed at me and told me that they asked for a full set. I believe he took advantage of them as he was so inappropriately rude to me. They came in for an inexpensive French Manicure. They ended up paying a lot for fake nails that may end up ruining their natural nails. It was a horrible experience for all of us. The bottom line is that nail salons are a dime a dozen. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! read more
