OPI Nail Salon & Day Spa

Really enjoyed my pedicure here. The young man really spent time on my massage and on my heels which needed some extra attention I will definitely go back. Be advised you need to have a pedicure kit of your own or you can purchase one for $ 2.

They did a pretty decent job on my gel manicure (in not too picky) but when I went to pay– I gave the lady $ 40 and asked for change (in ones) so I could tip. Instead of giving me my full $ 15 back she just gave me $ 10 and tipped herself $ 5 without asking. I stood there for a second thinking she would give me another $ 5 in ones but she just walked away and told me to have a good day. I was going to give her a decent tip, but it was extremely rude of her to just assume she deserved $ 5 without my input. Maybe I’m being a bit of a jerk, but it really rubbed me the wrong way. Crummy customer service.

I love this place! I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I moved but still drive out of my way to come here. Two is amazing and so is the rest of the staff. I would highly recommend coming here.

I’m so sad because my friends said this was a good place… but I’m very disappointed… I came in for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure a week ago and I can’t get over the experience I had. The elderly man who did my pedicure does not know how to paint nails, there was paint all over my cuticle. And after my pedicure was done he rushed and took the toe divider off both feet while the paint was still wet and ruined half of my toe nails. Once again he rushed to fix his screw up and then left me for another client so I had to walk bare foot to the manicure station. Now the manicure was also rushed and there was only one other person waiting for an acrylic removal… The manicurist didn’t even check to see if my nails were the same length, on top of that I asked for a rounded shape and she gave me some round some square, I should’ve just took the nail file myself. She also did not remove the dead cuticle skin. I paid $ 52 not including tip for a very bad experience, I will not be coming back.

I have been coming to OPI for about 3 years. Always a wonderful shellac manicure and brow wax. A very professional clean salon.

Great experience. Very clean and the employees were very nice and friendly. However, it was $ 2 for a nail kit which left me unable to leave a big enough tip.
I will be back! Especially now that I have my nail kit and won’t have to buy one again!

Visited OPI for the second time today. I was even more impressed today then last time. They do wonders! I received another pedicure and I was sad when it was over. Can’t wait to go back!

I really like this place. I’ve tried many places in North Portland and this is now my go to. Really good job and consistent with eyebrows! I get pedis regularly too and have been very happy. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. The price is really competitive for the neighborhood, you won’t break the bank going there regularly.

Great job! Perfect shellac manicure. Downside was no massage at the end, just a quick lotion application to upper arms. And they only accept cash, but at least atm fee was only .50 $.

AMAZING professionals. GREAT mani, pedí.

I got a shellac manicure from Bön, and he did an expert job. He was efficient and focused. I will go back and see him again.

So lucky to live down the street from this spot. My toes always look amazing and the pedi lasts forever.

So sad, this place used to totally rock. Clearly there have been changes, lots of new staff. My last 3 visits went from bad to worse. No foot or hand massage. No real work done on cuticles or skin around nails. Manis done in the pedi chair and it’s awful. I’ve had three new (to me) employees in the past 3 visits, all men. I’m done, at least until I hear about changes for the good.

Pass. Another disappointing nail salon in North Portland. I don’t know why it’s so hard to get this right.
I had the deluxe pedicure… it was okay; until it wasn’t. Before she applied polish I asked her to put my flip-​flops on first so I wouldn’t smudge AND because I won’t walk around barefoot. She refused. Yep, I clarified twice and she said, «No, I’ll put them on after. No smudge.»
You can see where this is going… as soon as she put on the first flip-​flop she rubbed off the polish on my big toe. Big time. She didn’t correct it appropriately and it ended up lumpy.
My 9 year old was supposed to be getting a mani/​pedi next to me. Her chair never worked; I asked them twice to see if they could help her turn it on… they kept saying, «it works» but even when I leaned over and pushed the buttons nothing happened. They had her soaking in water but never turned on the motor. I was drying while they finished her… they did her manicure while she was in the pedicure chair — very hastily and no soaking of the nails. The guy walked her over to the drying stand barefoot (unsanitary). I asked him to help her get her flip flops on without smudging. Guess what? He totally botched her newly painted toes. I was livid. He went to find the same color to match and «fix it» but the color he picked was not the same color.
At this point, once I paid them they rushed us out the door. Three different people came over and said, «You dry, you dry now.» With all the botches we wanted to dry long enough to ensure they weren’t further messed up; guess that wasn’t an option.

I’ve been to many nail salons in Portland & Salem and OPI Nail Salon on Lombard Street surpasses them all. Not only do they have the longest lasting, most beautiful shellac ever… their customer service is incredible too! Today’s experience prompted me to write a review. I came in after not having my nails done in a long time & I wasn’t having the best day. The employees kindly greeted me as usual and told me to pick a color. I was taking a few minutes distractedly looking at all the colors, when a nice lady came over to me and started painting my nails with the colors that she had seen me looking at. She engaged with me, was so kind, and ended up showing me a cabinet of new colors that they hadn’t put out yet. Needless to say, their kindness change my perspective on the day. I’m very happy with my experience and as always, extremely pleased with the way that my nails turned out.

I did not get the color I wanted, I don’t remember when they changed the color I originally selected was a robin egg blue, and I got a jade green. They changed it to gel polish when I originally just wanted regular nail polish, and they clipped my cuticles and used cuticle removal which caused 3 of my cuticles/​nail beds to bleed. A week later I’m suffering from major hang nails on all of my fingers. The service I asked for was changed without my knowledge, and there was a $ 11 price difference from what was on the menu. I’m glad my mom gave me extra money to tip with, but by the time I got the bill, I didn’t have extra money to tip with.

Ok, honesty time: I have been putting off writing a review for this place for completely selfish reasons. If I give them a good review, I am only going to make it harder for me to get an appointment! But really, everyone at OPI deserves to be recognized. The manager is so friendly and always remembers me. Everyone who works there does a great job, but I really have to talk about the young man who did a gel mani/​pedi for me before my vacation last month.
I have been getting manicures here for a long time but never had a pedicure because I don’t wear open-​toed shoes. Ever. I’m a *little* self conscious about my feet. Well, I finally worked up the nerve to ask if they could do a pedicure for me that would require them to build a couple of completely fake nails. God, I was mortified. But they were so kind, and you know what? The gentleman who did my pedi did such an incredible job… I was so excited that I actually cried. For the first time in my life I was able to wear sandals and feel pretty. It sounds silly, but it was a huge, huge step for me.
Thank you, OPI, for allowing me the freedom to wear pretty sandals and enjoy my beach vacation.

I’ve been to countless nail salons in Portland and this one by far is my favorite.
New Year’s Eve I called 20 minutes before they opened, no answer, 5 minutes later they called me back!
They welcome returning customers by name and have always been friendly.
I’ve gone twice since then and I don’t plan on going anywhere else. I highly recommend this salon to the lady’s who routinely get they’re nails done!

First time here. Been looking for my forever nail salon since moving into town 5 months ago. It’s less than 2 miles from my house and I can walk. Bonus!
Chishne (pronounced Kristi) did my shellac mani/​pedi and they look amazing! She did my eyebrows as well but accidentally dropped wax on my eyelash extentions. The manager came in to assist her getting the wax out of my eye and my eye and lashes are just fine :) simple mistake. The manager did mention that if I had issues with my lashes than to let her know. I found this to be a nice gesture.
I paid $ 75 after tip, which is a great deal compared to the $ 130 I paid in Seattle. The staff are super friendly, I got an apt just within a few hours of my scheduled time and you can’t beat the price!
The only thing I did not like was they pull the shellac from your nail when getting it taken off, which pulls off layers of your nail itself. I def prefer to have them soaked in cotton and wrapped with foil. It’s less abrasive on the nail itself.
Chishne gets a ⁵⁄₅
Overall service ⁴⁄₅
Thanks Chishne and Thu! I’ll be back!

A coworker brought me here for a shellac manicure this week and I am pretty impressed.
PROS:
Great color selection of Shellac Polishes!
Good prices ($ 25.00 for a Shellac Manicure when I went)
Great job! This is the best manicure I have had in about a year (I get them pretty consistently).
CONS:
Cash only, but they do have an ATM (50 cent fee)
Although the color selection is vast, they are only displayed in their bottles (rather than samples on artificial nails) which makes it hard to know what you are getting.
Not an awesome massage, but I don’t get manicures for the relaxation aspect.
Wasn’t offered a beverage (which I have grown accustomed to receiving at local nail salons)
This place is no-​frills, but gets the job done exactly how I want it. I’ll be back.
