Corvallis Nails & Spa

I LOVE this nail salon. I’ve never had a bad experience. the staff is extremely kind and it’s always a joy to get a manicure here. I’m always so happy with how my nails look when I walk out of here and I recommend to everyone. I’m very particular when it comes to how my nails look and this has quickly become the only nail salon in town that I trust. they really listen to what you want and they take their time.

Only giving this place 3 stars because they offer the hot stone massage and they’re cheap. Other than that, these «nail technicians» are bad. They skimp on the polish and don’t do a good job with cutting your cuticles and callouses. Stay away from this place, it’s only busy because it’s the closest to campus and Fred Meyer!

Absolutely the worst pedicure I have ever got. Staff was over booked (I have made an appointment), unfriendly, and hurt me. Waited 10 minutes to be helped, sat with my free in water for 10 more before she even started. Had Brooke for a friend and I but the one girl went back and forth between us, she jabbed at my feet, hurting me, didn’t ask if I wanted nails shorter or not. Finally the man came over and did massage and polish, not saying 1 word to me. Polish was done sloppy. Never going back!

Great service! Very friendly and did a great job!

I just had one of the BEST pedicure experiences ever! Amazing leg massage, expertly painted toe nails, and very nice nail technician — Vivian. Will definitely be back. :)

I came on Sunday for pedicure around noon. I was greeted at the door and asked to sign in on their iPad and I was told the wait would be about ten minutes for my service. The salon was busy so I waited a little more than that, but I don’t mind because the place was packed and all of the technicians were busy.
When I was seated in the chair, they put down paper lining on the chairs for me. They were kind of loud when I was using the massager but I got over it. I was charged an extra dollar for a new nail kit (this was a new law hat I didn’t know about). They used sanitized clippers from a sealed bag. I was helped by Kelly and she made sure I was comfortable and the temperature of my water was okay. The pedicure was done well and the hot rocks were very relaxing.
Don’t let the bad reviews stray you away. I’ll be returning soon. My only complaint would be about the wait time.

I came here today because my normal salon couldn’t fit me in. I’ve been getting gel manicures for a few months now and this was by far my worst experience. They seemed hesitant to let me see the colors and then we’re very unhelpful helping me match to my toenails. The women who I had cut down my cuticles to the point they hurt and don’t even look good. They also filed my nails so thin that they actually hurt when they put my nails under the UV light. There was no lotion for the manicure and instead they drenched my whole hand in cuticle oil. After all that it was more expensive than my normal salon. I can’t wait till I can get my nails done by my normal salon.

First time we went for pedi was great,
Went today & lady made my left toe bleed, still hurts!
Friend had hard time & kept asking for water temp to be adjusted. She had gel polish & used to be $ 10 now $ 15 more

This used to be my favorite nail salon in Corvallis, but I’m sad to say that they have really gone down hill. First of all, the quality of your pedicure depends on who does it – the men seem to do the worst job. The last pedicure I had, the guy was barely giving me a leg massage as he looked out the window. The polish wasn’t even smooth. It isn’t even clear if everyone has an Oregon beauty license. Second of all, the place is filthy! Dust everywhere! It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in a couple of years! Really gross.

I came here with my sister from out of town. I got a fill and she wanted a full set. I had previously gotten my nails done else where so I was fine with the shape and everything. my sister on the other hand had the worst experience ever in her own words. she wanted stiletto nails. the guy had no clue how to do them. so she had to basically explain to him. as he started working on her nails it went down hill real fast. the shape was completely wrong they just looked a mess. so she changed her mind and asked him to do plain ol square nails, witch he surprisingly messed up. needless to say she asked him to stop right then in there without even polishing the nails. the were simply horrible. the whole experience was just really rushed and unprofessional. I will never go there again. and on top of all that she still got charged 30 bucks for a horrible nail job. never again corvallis nail shit!

Never going back again, got moved to four different nail technicians. The guy that did my new set was constantly texting and talking on his cell phone. When I would tell him the drill was snagging the skin he would just tell me «almost done» and keep going. It took two hours to get a set. Then when it came time for me to pay he hands me the tablet and tells me not to forget his tip was just about made my jaw drop to the floor. I am so disappointed everyone had told me this place was fantastic. But I’m sorry it kinda makes me mad to pay 37 dollars for a crappy set and my fingers all cut up and everyone made me feel like I was bothering them no one made me feel welcome or anything.

I had a very bad pedicure here. I was here visiting my mom and we thought we’d go out and get a pedicure and chat. They cut my cuticle very badly, which I have NEVER had happen anywhere else. There was no apology or anything. It was still bleeding when I left the salon. I went in with my mother, and her experience was good, but I think its the luck of the draw. Personally, I would not go back.

I hate to say it but my experience was so-​so with the exception of the amazing leg massage during the pedicure. Because 2 ½ stars isn’t an option, i bumped it to three. The paint job and cleanup of my pedicure was adequate, however I could have used more cuticle work.
My gel manicure seemed rushed. In my home town they do cuticle work, put on the gel, zap you with the light, and then finish the manicure with lotions and a hand-​arm massage. It was all business here… In fact my ravaged cuticles were barley touched and after the gel was zapped with the light it was over.
The good news is that they seem very clean, opening a fresh bag of instruments for both my hands and feet. I might return after trying some other spas…

Unfortunately, Corvallis Nails & Spa has really gone downhill. You’d think being a regular customer who tips well and is always nice would get the better treatment. My «reward» for being a good customer was being run over like I didn’t matter. I don’t ask for much, but more and more I would see them put people in front of me even if I been waiting before them, and they started always giving me the new people who are still learning and don’t do a very good job. I guess they figure I’m nice enough I won’t complain?
They are so busy now that at times one nail tech will be working on three or four people at a time. I spend so much time waiting for them to catch up with the other people that sometimes getting a simple polish change on my gel nail polish could take almost two hours.
The other thing I started to notice was they have been skimping in the sanitation department. They would be using metal tools on my hand that were literally just used on someone else right in front of me. The worst is their nail files, which they keep in their pockets. They are not fresh nail files; I can see other people’s white nail residue all over them. I’m sure they use them on people’s feet and then my hands. Gross! I actually developed a wart on my finger after a visit to Corvallis Nails and I have never had one before.
I started going to a different salon. I hope Ann reads this and knows she needs to stop being lazy and put her customers first or the busy times will be over.

Went in for gel nails the first time and got a jerk of a gal who was unsanitary. Im a hair stylist and know when the rules are gettin broken. You dont keep your flie block in your apron to use on everyone without discarding. I had bubbles and it looked crappy.
Gave it another shot and found Ann. she did a great job and fast too. I will go back but only for her!!!

Had a good visit here. They did a good job, place was clean and they were friendly. The hot rocks were great!
Thanks

I went to the Nail Spa eight days ago for a pedicure. I got in on schedule but it went downhill from there.
I still have scabs on my cuticles. I’ve had many pedicures and never been in pain during the procedure, let alone had my cuticles bleed.
The woman was rough on my cuticles and gentle on callouses which were not any better after the pedicure.
I won’t return and I don’t recommend!

I went here for my first set of nails yesterday. I ended up getting solar nails on the recommendation of the nail tech. The salon was really clean, the staff was really nice and helpful. I was clueless about having nails put on, but the lady was super nice and looked at my really thin, bendy nails and did a really good job. They all look nice and she was really concerned about making them the right length/​shape so that I like them. I paid $ 45 for a full set with just pink and white (no color). She did nick me a few times, but I had long, wild cuticles, so that’s probably why.

I’ve been coming here since the day they opened. I live in California now and I’ll come to Corvallis nail spa just for the best pedis and manis! Not only do they have a great selection of color, but also they have great prices and the longest massages! They’ve added in hot stone massages to their manis and pedis, no additional cost! Want a cool design? No problem!
