Beautiful welcoming interior and staff. This was my first pedicure in over 10 years. I felt so relaxed during after my visit. My nails look so beautiful!
I have been going to Hannah at Skylar Nails for over a year now, and have always left so happy with the results! Her skill and attention to detail is amazing, and she is always very kind and helpful. I started using builder gel at her suggestion and my nails are much healthier now than when I first started coming here. Thank you so much Hannah!
The service is top notch and their skill level is 5 you will not regret the time spent at Skyler's Spa in NE Portland! They are absolutely fantastic people and I Love my nails too!
My wife is in town to have a surgery and went in for a manicure and pedicure yesterday. She got gel nails but today one of the nails completely came off. That has never happened in all the years of manicures. Especially with a high cost manicure like this. We called today for a partial refund. They said she needs to come in and she told them that is not possible. We told them this multiple times. They said that there is no way for them to refund us. Our only option is to come back in but that is impossible because we are from out of town and leaving after the surgery. We sent them a photo and they were not interested in making things right. Not even a partial refund :( Very poor business practice and service. They seem to have an inability to comprehend our very clear request.
First of all the mail tech was the most gentle person I've ever had do my nails. My cuticles are in fantastic condition and she was super easy on my nails which I loved. There was no forced conversation which I also appreciate as I was super tired this morning. She was very detail orientated and made sure none of my nails were lumpy. My nails are so smooth and even and she took her time to make sure they were perfect. No complaints. Also I was the only one there which also helped with a relaxing vibe.
I scheduled appointments for my mother and myself. The prices for the pedicures were clear but when it came to the manicures somehow it was never discussed. Our grand total was over $300. My dip manicure was bumpy and started chipping the next week. My mom kept asking for her full set to be shorter and more rounded and the women helping her just smiled and never adjusted her long and pointed nails. The other women working could have helped the woman working with her if she had an issue understanding. No one intervened. They just smiled and took the money. My mom is on oxygen and I was busy worrying about her so did not pay attention at the time of service. Only after did I notice that we both had gotten less than expected for such a premium price. I have had this type of service before last for over 6 weeks or more.
the staff was very friendly and did a thorough job unfortunately the quality of my manicure was not good. I sat and waited well over 25 minutes with my nails in front of the fan drying and later that evening two of my nails chipped and the next day all of my nails were cracked, I think either the nail polish was expired or the top coat used was wrong.
I desperately wanted to take off overgrown acrylics done at another salon and go back to my natural nails so I did a quick search on Yelp, found this salon, and booked an appointment via Yelp! After the acrylics removal, I opted for a simple gel manicure with some nail art. The nail tech was very meticulous and careful... honestly, this may be one of the best gel manicures I've ever had. My cuticles are perfect, the color isn't streaky, and the nail art is so cute. If I lived here, this would be my go-to spot for sure!
I've been getting Dip nails for the past year and a half, at the same salon. I love them, but I'm no longer in NW so I came here in hopes to find a closer to home salon. Their process of dip is just a little different than I'm used to. Usually before the color dip, I get a layer of clear dip. And most importantly, before the final top coat, I'm usually asked to wash my hands. However, top coat was placed THEN I washed my hands after they tried 15 minutes later. Not sure what my other salon does but their top coat dries in 2-3 minutes. Moral of the story, my nails don't feel smooth like I'm used to, possibly because left behind dust since they are slightly "bumpy". Would I go back? Yes. Am I completely giving up on my NW Salon? No. UPDATE: I have one nail already chipping less than a week after getting them done. Dip usually lasts me 3 weeks before I have to get them done again, as long as I don't do anything personally to break, crack, or chip them.
Love my nails done at Skylar Nails. They were all friendly and aimed to please! I definitely recommend!
Reviews are largely positive. People appreciate the friendly, attentive staff, skilled nail technicians, and a relaxing atmosphere.

I've been coming to Skylar Nails for a couple months now for their "Royal" pedicure. Amazing service every time I come in. Very nice and I've never been disappointed! I've recommended them to all my family members and friends. read more
Enjoyed Pedi here. Friendly service upon arrival. Beverages served while you are getting your pedi. Relaxing massage chairs while getting pampered. Price reasonable and my nails were beautifully done. Leg massage was the best by my pedicurist. Recommend when in Portland. read more

OBSESSED with the people and my nails! They do pretty much anything you ask for (I do dip powder manicures) I've been to lots of salons in the past who can't do what they do here! They are skilled! Thom did my nails this time but everyone is so thorough and kind! I recommend all my friends to go here. The best place in Portland! read more

The owner has personally reached out to me publicly & privately, he apologized for the miscommunication and the service I received from the nail tech. I was able to come in yesterday and got my toenail fixed. As a customer, I appreciate that. I've been to this nail salon a couple months ago and my experience was totally different. No complaints before. Now my toes look nice and I'm very pleased. Thank you Lucas for reaching out. read more

Hi Dannie,…

My normal salon was booked so I thought I'd given Skylar a try. I brought a picture (short round milky) and picked out a color from the options they gave me to then be told they were out of that color. Ok fine. Then after a VERY light file and no shaping they started putting on the dip. No cleaning of the nails or cutting the cuticles. One of my nails was broken so I asked for all my nails to be trimmed to that length so they'd be the same but was ignored. I asked again and was told yeah but it was never done. She then put on big gloppy amounts dip and top coat. No attention to detail, just think and sloppy amounts of dip/top coat. I thought maybe she would shape the nails at the end but never did so when I asked her to do I was just told she did her best and not much to be done since I came in with different shapes on each nailSo I left with ragged edges and messy cuticles and lots of dips and top coat under my nails and stuck to my fingers. read more
I was here because my friend wanted to celebrate her birthday by getting the mani and pedi (amount other things). Things are clean and it's super cozy instead de. We were offered free beverage and OMG the rolling ball massage chair was awesome! I ordered a pedi with scrub and callus removal (35), and Tu was my lady. She's attentive, really good at what she's doing, and fun to talk to, too. Also, they have really good nail color selections as well. My friend couldn't decide which color to choose because of that! Overall, I will recommend the salon and will come back again! read more

Let me just say I grew up in this neighborhood and there's never been a place as high-end as this. the ladies here don't speak a ton of English but they do one hell of a good job. it was easy to get an appointment. they have just enough space the chairs are new & comfty, everything is clean my shellac has lasted the expected lifecycle. they offer complementary drinks margarita, champagne etc. The prices are transparent and they take card or cash read more

Called for a quick shellac mani and they were able to accommodate me within minutes. I didn't ask the nail tech for her name but she sits at the far end. She was lovely! They are very attentive, have great energy, and everything was so clean. The manicure was one of the best I've had. Definitely worth the $25! I would certainly be back should my travels bring me to Portland! Thank you for such wonderful hospitality. read more

Be sure to ask for Mia as she is amazing and talented. She is friendly, kind and interesting to talk to. In the Bay Area they charge $45 to $55 BUT here they only charged $28 so inexpensive. Mai spent over an hour and she did a fabulous job. I highly recommend her and this lovely salon. read more

A friend and I recently came to Skylar for pedicures. The owner was super helpful in making appointments for us ahead of time via Yelp, and the technicians were really great. Tonsssss of great polish color choices. Got the Basic Plus pedicure and the hot stone massage and paraffin wax were just so amazing. I work nearby and am constantly on my feet so I'm super glad I treated myself to this! I'll definitely be back! read more

Nail spas do not get any better than this. Came here on a whim to treat a friend to a birthday pedicure the last time I was in Portland. I should say, I go for pedicures pretty regularly in my hometown of Boston, and I have one spa in particular that is my gold standard for service. Royalty nails is just as good as that place, if not even better. First off, Royalty took us right away as walk-ins on a Saturday afternoon. They also offer complimentary beverages ranging from water to champagne, and their technicians are super-friendly -- they were laughing with each other and seemed to enjoy entertaining a very precocious six-year-old who was there with her mom. The woman working on my friend's feet asked if we had ever been in before; we told her it was our first time and that we'd come in based on their good reviews, which seemed to thrill her. As for the service itself, they went above and beyond. My friend and I asked for standard pedicures -- I don't recall what the service was actually called, but I think it was supposed to cost $35. Well, our technicians went ahead and treated us to their luxury option, which included a sugar scrub, paraffin wax, callous treatment (they busted out one of those gross-yet-can't-look-away cheese grater-looking things for that bit), an *insanely* amazing calf/foot massage, and a host of other indulgent treat-yo-self elements that lasted over an hour and left both of us sighing, "Aaaaaaaaah." Our nails came out really well, too! I would have gladly paid the full price for how terrific the experience was (I think that treatment level was $65+), but since we were first-timers, they only charged us for the standard treatment. Class act. I tipped them well. If you're looking for a quality nail spa, look no further. This place is just about as good as it gets. read more

What is an extension dip? Add a nail tip then just continue as regular dip nail?
Yes. That is my understanding.
I can't seem to find the prices for a shellac mani and regular pedi? Thanks
Sorry, we havent post the price list for the services yet.
Do you do dip powder manicures on natural nails?
Yes we do. However, our technicians who are be able to performe that services are not working today. Would you want to make an appointment for another day?
Do you all offer dipping gel, builder gel, or acrylics or do you only offer shellac on natural nails?
We only work with natural nails :)
