Dashing Diva

Update:
I got my fill 19 days ago and my nails STILL look amazing! A little grown out, obviously… But still extra clean looking and nothing is lifting or breaking.

I go here here often, it’s right by my work and I really like it. Feels like home! And yes ppl who work here are nice.

They do a great job with shellac and pedicures. Clean spacious environment and they don’t over book which is great. When I get my shellac done they have tons of color options and the shellac has stayed in 3.5 weeks the last few times I can remember. They do a great job with pedicures too and listen to your needs such as being over ticklish or sensitive. Great customer service and nail tech notions.

Best nail salon in Portland! I go to Quin for shellac manicures and he is amazing. My nails always look perfect and the manicures last a full two weeks. They also do great pedicures. It took me almost six months after moving to Portland to find Dashing Diva and I’m so happy I did. If you are a perfectionist when it comes to nails this is the salon for you.

Great service and high-​quality gel manicures here! They have a fantastic color selection and my manicure lasts 2 – 3 weeks. Highly recommend! Quinn and Linh are amazing.

I receive beautiful and near perfect manicures every time I go here. I get gel done and I have very long nails. The owner is highly experienced, & I find his attention to detail unmatched. It is highly affordable, and also a convenient location. The environment is clean, quiet, and never overly crowded. I would definitely recommend this place as well as making sure you have an appointment. The owners name is Quinn.

The staff here are friendly and skilled. I’ve gotten several pedicures here now and they have all been very good. They are meticulous and do not rush through their work.
The salon itself is nice, relatively spacious, and clean. I just wish prices were more comparable to prices in LA. $ 20 mani pedi will not be found anywhere in Portland… :(

Found this place based on good Unilocal reviews. I live nowhere near here but was driving through the area this week on a day trip with my Mom. We got here right at opening and the shop was clean and inviting. The first thing I noticed was how much the shop still represents reviews from a year ago saying that everything was so new and clean. It still looks like a brand new shop!
My Mom and I got pedicures and thoroughly enjoyed the work and the shop atmosphere. We were the only ones in here until shortly before our nails were finished and it was so relaxing. The massage chairs are really nice and the service was fantastic. I wish I would have gotten the names of the guy and gal who did our nails, but they were super nice and chatted with us sometimes and other times lets us chat — which was nice since I hadn’t seen my Mom in a while.
They were also really purposeful and detailed with their work. I am not super picky about my pedicures, but I have the smallest and weirdest shaped pinky toenails ever and sometimes other pedicurists just do a quick swipe of polish over my nail and skin, which comes off immediately. The work they did here makes it look like I actually have a normal nail!
Thanks so much!

I saw Quinn and he did a great job on my nails!
$ 35 for oval shellac acrylics that look beautiful
He made sure to keep checking that my nails were the right shape and length.
Paid $ 1 for two files that I’ll bring back next time
No frills (lotion, massage, cuticle clipping) just great nails

I had a great manicure. Lynn, who was helping out from another location (normally is only here in Tuesday’s) did a great job! :) it’s also very clean and organized inside.

Just visited this new nail salon for the first time and am so impressed with my shellac manicure I just had to w rite a review! The salon itself is clean and new. The gal who did my manicure spent probably an hour and 15 minutes on it. I was getting a bit bored sitting there, but was so impressed with the results afterwards that I would definitely go back despite the length of time it took.

I have been here 3 times now. They are very friendly and the prices are great. They are still doing a 20% off for grand opening!
Parking is great and right in front. It is also very clean and they have great chairs.
I would recommend this business

Been here every two weeks since they were still in construction. Don’t be scared because it’s a new place, these guys know their stuff. I’ve had acrylics (+fills) and a few pedicures so far – all excellent. The owner is sometimes a little slow but that’s because he uses every single tool to shape your nails to perfection, so no complaints there. Just come with patience and something to think about while you’re in the chair.
The only issue I have, as with a lot of nail places, is the Dr’s office style musak. Too quiet and sterile. You know they ain’t bumping that shit at home! The girls are always listening to stuff on their headphones (when they aren’t working on someone), I’d rather they share it the whole place than play to «relaxing spa radio.»

I had a acrylic fill done by Andrea who did an amazing job I will be coming back for sure!

I got a manicure and eyebrow wax. The manicure was decent… I’m not sure exactly what is the norm for manicures here because I just moved from the land of nail salons (NYC). Came out fine enough though.
As for the eyebrow wax, I have pretty thick eyebrows that were a bit unruly when I went in. I asked to make them a little thinner and clean them up. Well the end result was my eyebrows being about one-​third the thickness of where they started from. I don’t know what would possess someone to wax off that much. Oh and they’re not even either. I won’t be going back.

Nice, new, nail and waxing salon next to Plaid pantry. Massage chairs are brand new and work well. I had a pedicure here and the leg massage was very nice!
Tip– you can bring your own «kit» or you’ll need to buy one here for $ 2 (includes file, pumice stone, toe separaters and buffer). Currently (as of the day of this review) all services are 20% off!
