Waterfront Salon + Event Space

“Absolutely AMAZING! My favorite nail studio & lounge I've ever been to. It was extremely clean, and very cute inside. Not to mention the incredible water front view. There was a TV inside which was also really nice and entertaining. I got gelx nails and a pedicure and it's the best mani pedi I've ever had. My pedicure was delightful and included the most amazing massage. I can't recommend gelx nails more, they came out very light weight but also durable and I absolutely love the length and shape. A must go if you live in the Portland area.”

“Wow Wow Wow! What a wonderfully relaxing pedicure. My was super friendly and did a beautiful job. I got the CBD pedicure and I'm not sure if it'll have long lasting effects, but felt amazing in the immediate.“

“I got engaged with my nails from here and couldn't be more obsessed! Extensions with dip, with a matte green and sparkles! :-) AND it's right on the waterfront. You can't lose!

They accept walk-ins but it’s a smaller salon, so may be best to give a quick call before. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Pretty location, views of the marina from the pedicure chairs! I got the signature pedicure; super thorough and my feet came out soft and a beautiful job done! The owner was also there and helped me pick out a fall color (and I LOVED it!) While I was there, a couple others came through and they kept everyone distanced and safe-very clean salon (it’s also new so that helps!) The massage chairs were also awesome-they even reclined. Super relaxing, I will most certainly be back.“

“I love this nail studio! I've had 2 pedicures, and today I went with a manicure. They never disappoint and it's well worth the price. The studio is beautiful and the employees are welcoming and friendly. I don't see myself going to any other nail salon again! Can't wait to try their eyebrow waxing next!“

Waterfront location can't be beat and it's super convenient to book online. The massage chairs were comfortable and the business was very clean. I got a Mani/Pedi with gel. One of the best pedicures I've ever had. Manicure was super clean.

”My favorite place in Portland to get a pedicure! I always get gel and they last a long time. Foot massage is great. Friendly staff. Very relaxing experience. The waterfront location is fabulous to go for a walk or have lunch in one of the restaurants nearby. I like that you can book online. It's very convenient. One of the best pedicures I’ve had in years - and can’t beat location, looking out at river! Will definitely be back next time I am in Portland.”

“They were so patient with me, clean salon and I’m in love with my set! Gelx special extension 10/10 recommend :)”

“Phenomenal new salon in Portland! The staff are incredibly friendly, and pay attention to detail! You will not be disappointed. Check them out, and enjoy a gorgeous view of the waterfront during your appointment.”

“Relaxing and beautiful décor. Great waterfront view! New chairs. Excellent, detailed pedicure including paraffin and generous foot massage. Complimentary glass of wine! Nice extra perk! Great value.”

“SO GOOD. I’ve never had dip nails before and I LOVE THEM. I also mentioned that at other salons they’d make my nails bulge with the powder & I wanted them to be natural-ish with the thickness, AND MY TECH DELIVERED! I did not get her name but it was truly a welcoming, calming experience. This salon is my new go-to (and this is the first nail salon I’ve gone to in a year & a half!! :)”

“This was such a great experience. Summer paid such special attention to my nails (gel dip/fill in) and shaping them. Honestly, one of the best manicures I’ve ever gotten.”

“Absolutely amazing nail salon! My favorite place to go. They are super attentive and kind. Would recommend to anyone!“

“I was visiting from out of town and had some time before my partner’s flight got in. Got the Luxury Hotstones, they’re signature manicure and pedicure and super pleased with the experience! Nails turned out great, the massage chairs are lovely, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and the view is amazing. Also got to sip a mimosa during my services. (My nails were short so the shape is the best they could do with what they were given :)”

“The salon is beautiful, clean and comfortable. I see they use hospital grade cleaning supplies. The man who did the pedicure was great! He made over my neglected feet!“

“I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new salon! Not only is it located in the most beautiful place, the salon is beautiful and I felt very safe! The owner was so wonderful, and extremely kind. She took the time to actually care for my nails and make them look healthy, clean and so pretty! I will for sure be returning for my next manicure and hope to try other services from True Nail Studio!“

“Got a Gel Mani + Pedi and left very happy. Very clean and calming environment and the work I got done was efficient and professional. I'm impressed with how nice my cuticles look and 0 cuts or nicks.”

“The waterfront's best nail lounge and spa! We recently moved to the waterfront near this nail salon and have been enjoying its amenities. When we finally decided to give ourselves a little mani/pedi, this place was the only place we considered. Making an appointment was easy! We booked online which fares well for both of our introverted tendencies. It makes you add a credit card in case you no-show which would totally be disrespectful of their time. Upon showing up, they were expecting us and had the foot baths ready and bubbling with very warm water. We checked in, washed up, and selected our beverages. YES! you read right: beverages. We both got white wine and sure it wasn't the best quality wine we've ever had but it was lovely to sip on while we were serviced. They were professionals and always made sure we were comfortable. They worked quickly and precisely. They had a few walk ins that they handled with respect and the return the customers were very nice. What a great little community down here. We will be back!”

“I've had a gazillion pedicures in my life and this was the best. I got the Grand Pedicure which was fab - paraffin, hot stone rub, warm towels, and I'm not kidding that each leg got its own 10 minute massage (I was so relaxed I lost track of time, but the whole experience lasted over an hour). And, my toes look great! Everyone was super nice and, in the time of Covid, it felt totally safe. Everyone wore a mask, the pedicure chairs have plastic between them, and the mani tables have plexiglass between the client and the manicurist. This is definitely my new nail place. Recommend!!!”

“I highly recommend tn Nail Lounge in Portland, Oregon. The Salon delivers a high-end experience for clients and I'm super impressed with their professionalism and alternative options for healthier nail choices. I walked away more educated in my selections. A+“

“First class and courteous service and detailed focused. New, clean and safe. Check it out...you will not be disappointed.“

“The best salon I’ve been to in Portland! I’ve been searching for one I would return to for 6 years and this is it! I literally can’t think of anything that isn’t exceptional about this place. They even have online booking!”

“Best pedicure I've ever had!! My boyfriend and I both got pedicures and they were amazing! The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was very calming. I'll definitely be going back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing spa day! :)“

“Best pedi chairs in Portland! The owner and her highly skilled staff made our party feel welcomed from the moment we walked in the door. The organic products that they use are a refreshing change from the ordinary nail salon products and the price is competitive with other salons. The added bonus is the place is just damn cool great décor. I will definitely be coming back.”

“Really great, underrated nail spa. Walked in on a Sunday and it was quiet. The owner was very attentive and gave my nails personal attention of a kind that I had never before received. My gel manicure was completed in a reasonable time frame and the results were high quality. This is the best manicure I have ever received. My mom's pedicure took a bit longer and the ladies of the spa were quick to invite me to sit in one of the delightful massage chairs while I wait.”

“My first time at this salon and I got an Après Gel-X set with a next day appointment, which is unheard of in Portland due to the lack of salons who do Gel-X extensions (and it was the week before Christmas!). Total price with nail art on 2 nails was $90 (also unheard of in Portland--this would cost $120+ at other salons I've been to). The technician did an amazing job and I was out of there in about an hour. The nail sizes fit my natural nail pretty well so there wasn't much need to shape them, which probably saved on time but nonetheless it was faster than normal. I will definitely be going back! My new favorite salon in town.”

“I visited here on a Sunday for a manicure and pedicure, and was able to walk in and get serviced right away. Let me start by this pedicure was partnered with honestly the best massage I have ever had. After a tough week, this is exactly what I needed. You get about 60 minutes of pure bliss. And go with the signature you get the hot stone massage, that was a game changer. Finished off with a gel manicure. The shape and coverage are fantastic, up close to the cuticle which I appreciate since my nails grow fast. Excited to go back in a couple weeks and get a fresh polish change!”

“Love this salon! Friendly and professional staff, professional atmosphere, beautifully designed interior that is calming, takes COVID protocols very seriously, quality polish so manicures (I get gel) do not chip and last at least 3 weeks. Pedicure lasts 4 weeks at a minimum, without chipping (non-gel). The salon is not overcrowded and there are no pressured sales. Whatever service you schedule on your appointment is what they provide unless you ask for a change. I recommend this salon without hesitation.”

“I just moved to this area and was in dire need of getting my nails done. I found this gem on yelp and I'm so grateful! I feel like a princess again with my long nails. I wanted a cow French tip type of manicure but without acrylics, but they had a healthier alternative for my nails and they look amazing. They took their time prepping my nails and cleaning my cuticles. This is DEFINITELY my new go-to nail salon! :) Thank you so much True Nails Lounge & Spa!”

“What a wonderful hidden gem!! One of the cleanest and most lux nail salons I've ever been to (and I've had my fair share). The chairs are amazingly comfortable and they even offer you beverages. They even have adult drinks ;) got a signature pedicure and the whole experience was relaxing and soothing. Theirs products smell and feel great. Definitely recommend to locals or tourists!”

“Best nail salon in Portland, hands down! They're incredibly thorough and meticulous. You can tell they care about their work! I got the Après Gel X extensions, which took about 2-2.5 hrs. Had a bit of a wait even though I made an appointment, but they're a team of 3 in a quaint salon so just be prepared and patient! Salon was super clean, no harsh chemical smells with a beautiful view of the waterfront. Will be coming back for my fill and recommending to my friends!“

“Sooo nice, I'm not one to go to higher end nail salons because of my budget/lifestyle but this was sooo worth it. The place smells amazing and looks so cute on the Inside. It's a small salon so during normal times I would call ahead. Since it's covid times I was the only one in the salon. The salon was spotless and you could tell they are taking covid seriously. I got the grand pedicure package and it was amazing. Love, love, love. No wonder they have 5-stars!”

“Wonderful experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and now consider this our new standard. We'll definitely be regulars. All products were natural and of the highest quality. Sparkling clean with new equipment. Parking is close, convenient and inexpensive. Highly recommended!”
