Color Treats

My friend reccomended that I visit Fumi many, many times. I always loved my friend’s nails so I figured I would give it a shot since I had a specail occasion coming up.
I decided to go ultra high end (because go big or go home) and got the Japanese gel/​color and design on all my fingers (Took about 3hours, Fumi really pays attention to every detail! Please plan for parking!)
Fumi gives wonderful customer service, is knowlegeable and is great with connecting with her clients. Also has a fantastic playlist! I’m all about groovy tunes, fun conversation and cute nails. In other words, she is a fantastic nail consoltant and really cares about what color and design you want while giving a unique touch to her clients.
Please don’t be intmidated by her price menu. You honestly get the quality art and duriblity for your money. Also I’ve been treated poorly by other nail technicans in the past so its so nice just to be treated like a human.
«Hands down» best in Portland, able to cater to a «kawaii» niche market that wants stuff straight out of a Japanese magizine while able to appeal to an domestic American audiance that enjoys simple and elegant french manicures.
Anyway I’m just so happy since I haven’t had nice nails like this since I was in Japan. Its nice to get it local, but my only complaint is that I can’t take her to Seattle with me.
Thank you!

First time visit to Fumi’s salon. Not only her coloring technique is excellent, but also I very much enjoyed the chat with her while nails are done. I’ve been to many good nail salons in Japan, so hoping to find a high quality nail salon in Portland as well. And finally I was able to find one! Her work is like a precious art! I’ve tried a couple of salons in downtown, but Fumi’s salon is by far the best! Highly recommended. :)

Fumi did a great job on my nails. She’s very good at listening to her clients and she has many different options for your nails, I really recommend getting the soak of gel it lasts a lot longer. It is also a better option if you want to be more creative with your nails and have some fun. If you’re new to getting the Japanese soak off gel nails, Fumi is the best, she is very meticulous with her work so you really feel like she’s giving you all of her attention and she’s very pleasant to talk with. Color Treats really is a treat a very calming experience from start to finish.

I was so excited to have my first Japanese nail art manicure experience. This is very different than a typical nail salon. Fumi takes great care to make sure everything is perfect down to the tiniest of details.
I’ve have had gel manicures many times and it has never looked good past a week. I’m two weeks in on my manicure from color treats and it still looks sharp.

I have been stunned by the difference in my nails after going to Fumi. Because I am a devoted triathlete, my nails are exposed to constant banging as well as immersion in chlorine. For the last several years, I resigned myself to having broken short nails and damaged skin. Fumi’s manicures appear to be indestructible. But the greater surprise is a radical improvement in the overall health of my cuticles. No more hangnails, no more broken skin. She is extremely talented!

Fumi is amazing! I came in with an idea and a few pictures and she immediately got what I wanted. She has an huge selection of polishes, glitter, beads and diamonds to choose from. She’s so talented and fun to talk to while she works. I can’t wait for my next appointment to see another fun idea come to life!

Color Treats | Fumi the Nail Magician
My story of finding Fumi begins over a year ago, when I was going to my neighborhood nail shop for a walk in appointment. I won’t go into too many details but I had a very, very bad experience and when I left I was in desperate need of having my gel polish put on properly. I did a quick search on Unilocal and found a very reputable salon/​spa that offered gel nails. They were able to fit me in with Fumi right away and the rest is history.
From day one Fumi has taken beautiful care of my nails. I’ve had her do gorgeous nail art for my best friends wedding last September and every girl in the bridal party had nail envy. Now, she has her lovely nails shop, Color Treats, in the heart of the Pearl District and I could not be more thilled. I have been loyal to her since our first appointment and I sincerely believe that she is the best nail tech/​artist in Portland.
