I have been coming to this salon for about seven years for pedicures. In the beginning the staff was friendly and the experience was relaxing. Over the last few years the environment has changed, and the constant upselling has become frustrating. I only come in for pedicures. That has always been clear. I do not want manicures or gel nails. Despite saying no every single visit, the technician who usually works on me continues to push nail services every time I come in. This has been happening for three to four years. The answer has always been no. Yet the pressure continues during every appointment. Because I'm so frustrated with the constant sales pressure, I've even stopped going as often so I don't have to hear them nag about this all the time. During my most recent visit, the technician even told me that my husband would leave me if I did not do my nails. That comment was inappropriate and completely unprofessional. That should give potential clients an idea of how much pressure they apply to get more money. At this point it feels less like customer service and more like constant pressure to spend more money. Pedicures here are already expensive. Long time customers should not feel pushed to add services they clearly do not want. I have been a loyal client for many years and I tip extremely well every visit. Unfortunately the repeated pressure and disrespect for clear boundaries have made the experience unpleasant. They only view me as a money grab. Businesses should listen to their customers. If someone says no, respect the answer. Because of this experience, I will not be returning, never ever again. read more

Stay away from this place. This is the worst nail salon in the state, who doesn't do pink fills, and who doesn't have pink powder, this place should be shut down, they had to call a person on the phone to tell me they can't do it, I'm done, this place is always empty for good reason, too expensive, and no customer service, no one working to help customers translate I'm ok with the language barrier if at least one person can speak English to help not have the problem they have, I would show you a picture but they did nothing, the reason for the anger is I made an appointment sat there for 20 minutes to be told this read more

I started getting my nails done here about a year ago and have been receiving dip services every three weeks since. One thing I truly appreciate is that the staff has remained the same from day one. There's no turnover to adjust to, which makes a big difference. Because of that consistency, I get reliable, high-quality results at every appointment. They are also extremely punctual. If you take the time to schedule an appointment, they honor it. There's no five- to fifteen-minute wait because they've tried to squeeze someone else in, which I've experienced at other salons. The salon is very clean and well lit, creating a comfortable environment. The staff is pleasant and professional, and they don't carry on loud or distracting conversations with each other while working. They're respectful of each client and make you feel relaxed and valued. read more

My second visit to V Nails. The shop is extremely clean and bright. They always have very soft calming spa music playing and the TV is playing scenes of natural scenes of Rivera, mountains, water, etc. in short, as I enter I am already starting to relax. I called about 15 minutes before their scheduled opening and a very sweet woman answered the phone and I was early able to make a 10 am appointment. Color and service selection are expansive, which I appreciate as some times I'm in a rush and need something quick and other times, like today it's about self-care and relaxation. The staff are very warm and welcoming and are often quiet promoting the on-going relaxation. They ask and confirm what you would like to have done. They have the standard spa chairs with massage. While many nail salons offer drinks, I appreciate the menu here also offers Vietnamese coffee as a choice. I haven't found this any where else and I don't necessarily want alcohol early in the morning. I will continue to visit this nail salon read more

See all

New OWNERS: I went there for a pedi. I didn't have time for polish but they have an insane amount of colors to choose from and they are organized well so you can go straight to magenta or red and get the right hue for you skin tone instead if bouncing left and right. I must have gotten a premium or deluxe because they put every kind of lotion, oil, exfoliant on my legs. It also came with parfan and they took their time massaging me!! My parents came along for pedis as well. My dad, super picky and is a diabetic needs quality careful foot care and they did a phenomenal job. read more

I love getting pedicure here! There massage is very relaxing. I always get the Luxury pedicure and it's amazing. I also get dip nails done by Vy. She always do a phenomenal job read more

V Nails And Spa - Done by Vy - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I hadn't had my nails done for a long, long time, and when I finally decided to get them done again, I wanted to try a place closer to home than the salons I had gone to before. This is now my second time going to V Nails and Spa, and both times, my nails have turned out absolutely perfect. I got the dip nails with a glittery french tip... and I LOVE them! The ladies there are friendly, the shop is clean, and they seem to genuinely care about the quality of their work. I plan to return again and again! Thanks, V Nails and Spa!! read more

V Nails And Spa - My humble attempt at a hand-selfie does not do this business the justice it deserves, but it's better than no photo, amirite! - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

A little disappointed with how Kevin is changing his business. Now he charges $37 and you have to put down a $15 deposit to hold your spot, what?! He no longer does jewels on full fingers because "its not what he does" , isn't his job to please the customer? He over books himself and I was always waiting at least 20 minutes before he was even finished with the person before me. The first time I went I was in love with his work, but it has declined, and he is too cocky for his own good. I will never be returning. read more

I was recommended here by a friend and I could not have been more pleased with the quality of service. My friend and I went for much needed pedicures and V and Minnie took excellent care of our feet. The basic filing and buffing along with exfoliating, lotion and a very nice massage of calves and feet. Followed by paraffin wax and pretty polish. Nice massage chairs and beverages. The place was very clean and one of the things I loved the most was how all of the nail polishes were organized perfectly by color (I know OCD haha). I will definitely be making the drive from Clackamas to come back read more

It's been a while since I've been to a salon and I have very sensitive hands, so I was a little nervous, but they were great! We came for my mom's bday and got mani and pedis. Splurged and got the deluxe pedicure for Mom and she really enjoyed it. She is on her feet all day at work and said she felt amazing after her deluxe pedicure. I got dip nails with extensions and they came out great! Everyone was so sweet and it was a very relaxing experience. Thank you for the wonderful birthday experience for my mom. So excited to come back another time! :) read more

I have gone in for the deluxe pedicure twice now and they do a wonderful job. The salon is clean and the ambience is very relaxing. My pedicure lasts for 4 weeks without chipping and the massage is amazing! Not to mention they have the most impressive color selection I've ever seen. read more

It totally bums me out to have to give this place 2-stars because the staff is genuinely friendly, the place is clean and nicely maintained, and they have beer and wine... but there are some serious downsides. I've had 3 pedicures and 1 manicure here (because I like to give places a chance). I almost never get a manicure, this was for a wedding. The pedicures are where most of this review lies. Having a toddler, I pretty much only am able to do shellac these days since I generally can't get a pedicure every month like I used to, and I can leave in my own shoes (do you have any idea how hard it is to run after a toddler in those fake little flip-flops while the dog is incessantly trying to lick your toes?). That being said, when I do a pedicure, I do it right - always the big daddy spa pedicure. Sure it's more spendy, but it's worth it to me. Pedicures generally run around $30-$35 + the cost of shellac, right? So this place charges $45 for a big daddy pedi... then an additional $10 for shellac. It's a $55 pedicure + tip and honestly - it's just not worth it. The quality was fine, but it was DEFINITELY not the color I chose. When I said something (since no one there puts a stroke of the polish on and actually asks you if you like it before they complete your whole experience), the lady just said that the sun must have lightened up the sample color because they sit in the window. Neat. Now I have death toes instead of the color I'd originally picked. Back to the $45 dollar experience as opposed to the $25 one - the difference was supposed to be an extra long massage, a leg mask, paraffin foot treatment, and a hot stone massage. My girlfriend got a manicure the exact same time as I got my pedicure and we were done at the exact same time. The massage wasn't very long (or good... she just basically rubbed the lotion in my legs, no massage or anything) and the hot stone massage was maybe 2 minutes at the most! (again, she just rubbed stones on my legs, no massage or anything). To reiterate - the people are nice and friendly, the space itself is attractive and well maintained, but the cost doesn't justify the quality or experience. You can get better for less elsewhere. read more

Letter from a disappointed boyfriend: I bought my girlfriend a Gift Card to Unique for her Birthday in February. She went to use the card on a ManiPedi today but was told that because the Salon is under new management that she would not be able to redeem. The lady at the counter wanted her to hand over the gift card for disposal and to pay full price. When questioned, the lady suddenly acted like she did not speak good English and said she had another client to attend to and walked away. The card still has the Address, name of the establishment, and the value clearly printed. Note to the new owners: Thanks for wasting our time and money. Pro tip: Don't buy gift cards from these crooks read more

Worst nail experience EVER! Booked a appointment with Kevin after seeing his work on Instagram. Scheduled Friday the 7th of February Paid the 15$ deposit. A day before my appointment he text to try and reschedule me for a later time in the day due to "weather conditions" I remind him that I was also going in with my friend & asked if her appointment will also be pushed back? Then I get a reply like oh I'm sorry I ment for another day?!?! I was completely understanding and said yes, only to get on my Instagram the next day to see him post pictures of his work before & after the times we would have been scheduled. It was snowing during this time on Friday the 7th I was running errands all day & got around perfectly fine. Monday comes around and he Text again asking me to call and reschedule?!? I kindly state that I would not like to reschedule with him I would like a refund for both deposits due to the circumstances. He was willing to give me my refund & claimed that the pic was a late post from a couple days back. Which is perfectly fine it's really his word against mine he offers a free service I politely decline. Then he goes so far as to text my friend telling her I was extremely upset & if she would like a free service she politely declines. Then he goes so far as to insult the both of us saying "Ok sweet thanks! also thanks for letting me know how you guys feel...I was going to do my best to get you back in but with how your friend assumed things and getting upset over An appointment being cancel of the weather it's shows me you and her are not the kind of clients I want to have..thank you for saving me the hassle and time and cutting things off before I have to deal with your friends attitude later down the road...have a nice day and I will send you your deposits:) " (I put this picture in the photo album) I was never once rude to him I just simply stated how I felt! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND KEVIN TO ANYONE! He lacks proper business etiquette. We went to him even after reading the other bad reviews only To find out they were beyond true! read more

So I am torn to hear all of the negative feedback when honestly Kevin is the best nail tech I've had. Not to brag but his nails are by far advanced in that his designs are acrylic, not stick on or painted. (Besides roses and gems) he does take his time but it's because he takes pride in his work. If you actually had a conversation with him you would learn that he is his biggest critic. He lets negative energy motivate him to be better so there are no more negative customers that had a misunderstanding. He does book 3 weeks out which can suck but it's because he has that many clients. Don't be offended if he refers you to other nail techs because he is trying to please you and make sure you still get an excellent outcome. No matter where I live ill still drive out to have Kevin Ho to do my nails. His staff is also phenomenal. He is growing his business with positive talent. read more

V Nails And Spa - Perfection - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

This is the best pedicure experience I have had, and for the best price! I love everything about Unique Nails from the chairs, to the paraffin wax that's included in the service, to the massage. Most places charge $30-35 for everything that is included in their basic pedicure which costs $20-25. The best part? The customer service! The staff remembers you even after just one visit. The fridge is stocked with complimentary drinks. And they really care about their clientele. Despite living in downtown Portland, I will make the drive to go back to Unique Nails. Customer for life! read more

I just had my nails done, and I love them! Johnny did an amazing job with my yucky, overgrown cuticles. He patiently and with great care trimmed them back so my hands look pretty again. He applied the gel polish with precision, and my nails looks amazing. Johnny is the best! I will definitely return to this great salon. It's very clean, and everyone there is friendly. P.S. The price for a gel manicure was stellar! Much less expensive than other places and MUCH better quality. read more

I have gone to so many nail salons and nowhere compares to this place. Kevin is amazing and makes every experience relaxing and personal. The pedicures are awesome and the pedi happy hour is an awesome deal! Complementary wine and drinks! Best full set acrylics by far; anything from simple tips to intricate designs! Thank you so much! read more

V Nails And Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Lake Oswego, Oregon

I LOVE getting my nails done here! I have been here 3 times, 2 deluxe pedis and 1 shellac manicure. Kevin is the nicest guy- making sure his customers are comfortable and happy during their procedures. My shellac manicure today was fantastic- the tech took her time and worked slowly to ensure every detail was absolutely perfect. I really enjoy coming to this salon and spending time with Kevin and his wonderful staff! read more

I took the wife and out friends here and it was the worst nail experiences we've all had. I'd highly advise looking elsewhere where they actually have interest in doing their work. read more

This Cameron s a first impression review only. I came in for a manicure and was surprised by the $30 price and also that I needed to by a nail file and buffer for the tech to use. I chose not to get my nails done. read more

I left a review before that I thought was helpful but I do not see it? I LOVE this nail salon. It is very clean and they are very experienced. They treat the customers with respect and care. Holly is super sweet and can do any type of nails. She even counsels me on the health of my nail bed. They do not constantly try to "up sell" you like many salons. You will be so glad you went there. My nails grow out fast and so I am there often. The pedicures are heavenly! read more

Kevin has skill when it comes to his artwork. Now, professionalism is the worst if anything sets him off. 4 months I went to him, loved his openness, free drinks, sympathized with him on bad reviews, and fed into his gossip of his personal life. Mark my words, when he gets comfortable, he becomes inappropriate on many levels. My last visit with him, he refused to hold a conversation, and nodded his head with heavy sighs, because I got my nails filled while I was in other state for work, stating I should have my nails removed before I see him. He also stated how I upset he is with me because I nibbled on my nails. I told him I'm am sorry with him continously being mean. I was sad to point of tears by the time i got home. Please take into account the poor reviews, there is truth to them. read more

I just called to book an appointment, the booker was EXTREMELY rude and was not fully engaged in our conversation, obviously poor customer service skills. He proceeded by telling me they are low staffed and would rather take appointments but when I tried to book he said it would be three weeks out. I asked if they did acrylics and he told me there were a lot of places that do them but since I was so "picky" he wouldn't refer me to anybody. read more

Only giving one star to post my review!!! DISAPPOINTING!!! I should've read the reviews before attempting to walk in! I'm from outta state and was in need of a Mani treatment but as I first walked in, I got this not so friendly look from a guy named Kevin and he was very rude and snobbish gave me a look that wasn't very pleasant. Don't know how they make business with someone like that working there! I'll take my business elsewhere read more

I wish I could give a higher review, more stars, but I can't. Kevin is charming and communicates extremely well, and makes you feel special by remembering your name and taking very good care of you. For this I give five stars. I am very disappointed; however, in the quality of my pedicure. The lady who did my pedicure's name was Lee and I think she is an apprentice and has not done very many pedicures. My nails were cut unevenly, the polish application is sloppy and all over my skin despite her trying to clean it up with a paintbrush and acetone. The worst part though, was that when Lee was filing my big toe nail, the edge of the file was against my skin and she filed so hard that she filed a cut in my skin so that every time she put alcohol or acetone on,it stung like the dickens and was pretty unpleasant. It is for this reason alone I am giving two stars. I think it's simply that more training is needed ??? read more

These guys are awesome. They're friendly and make you feel welcome and comfortable right away. I've been to so many nail places that treat you like cattle and just try and get you in and out as fast as possible. Johnny actually took time on my manicure and pedicure and it was without a doubt the best shellac mani I've ever had. I felt like this was one of the cleanest, nicest places I've been in a long time. The prices are completely reasonable and they serve wine, can't beat that! I've found my new spot! read more

I've been to so many nails salons but none could beat this. Received the best service for a super reasonable price. Bi was vey nice and skillful that I felt like my nails were completely upgraded and transformed. Definitely be back every 2 weeks! read more

I have been coming here for several years and am always greeted warmly and my name is always remembered. I have a free beer while I wait and get a meticulous manicure. Haley is the best! Her shellac looks pristine until you take it off. As for Kevin he is warm, personable and very talented. Best place around. Happy hour pedicures for under $20 and a $25 shellac mani can't be beat. read more

This is by far my favorite place to get my nails done. They're under new management, now, but they still deliver some high quality service. I've gone to several nail salons in between visits, whether for convenience, or whim and I always end up coming back to Unique Nails (sometimes to fix the other salon's mistakes.) read more

Best mani-pedi experience of my life! The basic pedicure included paraffin (which was heaven), complimentary beverages, everyone was very friendly, attentive and accommodating/excellent customer service, tons of great colors to choose from, and my nails look great! :) read more

I LOVE Unique Nails! I have been to many nail salons and this is by far my favorite place. Kevin is great as is the rest of the staff. They are professional and friendly. My pedicure was relaxing, and the 3 times I went in (I'm a new client), I left feeling very well taken care of and loving my new nails. They do what is in the client's best interest. I will be loyal and continue to keep going. :D read more

I LOVE these guys! Kevin remembers the names of everyone who walks through the door! They will do anything to make sure their customers are happy. Recently, they've been busier (as they should be, because their services are great!) so call ahead to schedule your appointment. read more

The staff was friendly but my nails did not turn out the way I had requested. It felt like a rushed job.

Kevin works harder than any other nail person I have ever had. Reading through the other comments are ridiculous and those girls who gave bad review must be crazy because this is the best experience I have ever had. Prices are awesome, he offers me a glass of wine every time I walk in (always remembers I like red), greets all his clients by name and introduces you to whoever is doing your nails that day. One thing is that it is much better if you call ahead of time to make an appointment, and all that says to me is that he is desirable! His work is awesome, his team is great, last time I went in he had my favorite nail color and a glass of wine waiting for me at my pedicure chair. Who does that?! Kevin rocks, this is the best nail place ever for real read more
