I LOVE Nails & Spa

Really great service! And does such a fabulous careful detailed job! They constantly ask you about the shape and color before applying it and making sure you like it! Best nail service I’ve ever had!

Called on a Sunday to confirm they are open. Asked for Leon and was lucky to get an appt right away. Leon filled my nails and painted them. A beautiful white and pink ombré with glitter. Very festive. I was origins going to get something simple but Leon is great. Go bold.

A good amount of my friends exclusively see Leon to get their nails done, so I finally did the same, and I’ll never go to another nail tech from now on.
Hands down, this is the best manicure I’ve had. I have acrylics with gel polish on top, and I came in for a fill and new gel. It’s easy to see that Leon puts his full effort into nails – my previous fill (at a different salon) was a mess with every nail a different shape and length. In about 30 seconds I had a perfect almond shape on each nail. There are a wide variety of color options, and my friends also have beautiful custom art done by Leon too. I also appreciated the care put into making sure my acrylics/​tips were securely attached to my nails as well as making sure there wasn’t acrylic under my nails.
Overall, I’ll be returning to Leon and I Love Nails. It was absolutely my best nail salon experience.

These gals are great. I get a pedicure with my wife every couple of months and they have good availability, good atmosphere and the right price. Keep it up.

This review is for Leon as I’ve only been here for his services. Hands down, he is the best nail tech in Portland to go to for acrylics. He did coffin shaped nails for me and they looked so natural. My set was 50 $ and took about an hour. Make sure to book an appointment vs walking in. His schedule gets booked quickly.

The nails are always really nice but the service is always ok. Expect to stand at the door for at least 10 minutes before being helped.

I love this salon! Everybody here is so nice and talented, definitely coming back every time!

I’ve been going to I Love Nails for a while now and It’s been amazing every time! I have always received outstanding service, never had to wait long, friendly employees, and beautiful nails! I like to get complicated nails and Leon has never disappointed! The nails last forever too! They are always able to fit me in as well. I seriously don’t understand how some of these other reviews can be true.

Leon is a magician. Such wonderful work!!! He is very creative and replicates photos well. I will definitely be back!!! They aren’t appointment only but I highly recommend scheduling one with Leon because he gets very busy.

I Love Nails is the only place I’ve gone to and never had a problem with my solar gel breaking or chipping after. Leon also does excellent nail art, and will listen if you want it a certain way so that you get exactly what you want. They also have the largest selection of gel polish colors I have ever seen.

I’ve been going to I Love Nails for about a year and half now and I love it. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would! I was very excited to find this place because I’ve always had trouble with nails coming off when I go to other salons. Leon is the best person I’ve found for stiletto/​almond shaped nails. My nails always look great even when it’s time to go get them re-​done.
Leon is also an amazing nail artist. If I show him a picture he can recreate it, and if you just have an idea in your head he can make it come to life! If you’re looking to get nail art, I recommend making an appointment before going in to make sure they have time to do the designs. They have a huge selection of gel colors and lots of gems and nail art pieces to choose from. It’s totally fine if you bring in your own supplies too!

If there was a way to give this place 0 stars I would. I made an effort to get here the moment they opened, and they turned me away saying that there are no walk-​ins, and that nails are done by appointment only. Their sign clearly says that walk ins are welcome. There were 3 people sitting around doing nothing.
I guess they don’t love nails after all.

Well, I went back. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and it was nice and mellow. A lovely woman did my fill (no discomfort!) and had a pedicure as well after things went well with the fill.
I’ll continue to come back during slow hours to avoid my previous experience!

Yesterday was the last straw with I Love Nails. I’ve been a faithful client at I Love Nails for 2+ years. When they weren’t as busy and Leon was doing amazing nails I was there every two weeks getting my fill and every 4 for my pedicures. The last year has been so frustrating as a regular client. I usually make an appointment because I know this place gets busy. I even specifically ask for Leon to do my nails and yesterday was no exception. I called at 10AM and asked them what time I could come in and have Leon do my fill. I was told 2PM. I show up at 1:49 and the nail bar was full with 5 people. I already know I was in for a long appointment. So I sat down next to a girl who had an appointment for a new set with Leon at 1:30. Her and I began to discuss how we always make appointments and never get in at appointed time. Leon calls her over. And Hannah comes up to me to say she’s going I do my nails. I said, I made at appointment with Leon. Hannah says she’s going to start my nails. I reluctantly agree. I sit down and see that Leon is doing a full set, there’s another woman who just finished a pedicure waiting for a full set and me. WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR LEON. I’m grown more and more frustrated because now it’s about 2:30. And I know when it’s finally my turn Leon is gonna rush through my appointment. I was right. He right away was cranking that drill up to the point I was pulling my hand away because it was so hot on my skin. He then cut my cuticle because he was rushing. He didn’t apologize or put any drops on it. Just kept plugging away at my nails at warp speed. I went to wash my hands and went to pick up the buffer and file he used on my bloody finger and he got visibly upset and said he would throw them away. I told the woman next to me to make sure he threw them away because he cut me. He never even acknowledged my cut at all. I got polished paid my money and left. I was there in total an hour an a half. He took 20 minutes to do my nails. Maybe 10 to paint them (shellac polish). Maybe they should stick to a walk in only (first come, first serve basis) or make Leon appointments only or hire another nail tech. I won’t be back though. I’ll drive all the way out to Beaverton if that means better service.

Been here quite a few times and have even sent this salon more clientele. I guess that goes unappreciated. What’s most upsetting is that after coming to see Leon consistently, (he does a good job shaping nails so I won’t experiment w/​other techs) I’ve scheduled to see him SPECIFICALLY two days in advance and they attempted to sit me w/​a different tech. I politely declined and reminded them I booked out in advance but they proceeded to tell me I’d have to wait an additional 45 minutes. What’s the point of an «appointment» then? I waited for 20 minutes but they seemed a bit irritable at me somehow. 5 stars for work 1 for level of comfort since they’re typically speaking/​laughing about people in their faces in a different language. Guess if you’re willing to deal w that for decent nails, you can attempt to «schedule» here.

This place was beautiful, clean and spacious. They have a million gel colors which I find both awesome and a bit overwhelming. The nail tech was fine when I asked her to go shorter.
The only downfall is that it was $ 30 for gel manicure… which is super pricey in my opinion. Especially since I didn’t see prices up anyway. $ 25 would be more appropriate.

I don’t know if it was because Leon wasnt there but these creatures that are posing as nail techs need to go home. So damn rude. Didn’t speak when I came in until late even though 4 out of the six ladies were not working. i don’t know if it was jealously but if you want catty come here. Looks and snickers like wth kind of immature establishment is this. Absolute yuck. Will not be recommending. This is highly disappointing since it looks like the work isn’t totally shabby. Especially for stilettos
Oh wells!

I have only gone regularly for 3 months, but it’s been great, fast and well priced work. I do not have any art work done, but I watch people on either side of me get it done and it’s INCREDIBLE! They seem very talented.
I always get Leon or Hannah… both have done great jobs and my fills last 3 – 4 weeks. The nail & polish itself is intact, I just have the grow out.
I only knock off a star because I have gone several times where the heat wasn’t on and I can tell I squeezed in (I appreciate that!) but I was literally shivering. It was 20 degrees outside and about 45 inside. :)
And I agree with the schedule thing. I always MAKE an appointment, but end up waiting 10 – 30 minutes.

After three different shops and $ 150 wasted… read the # Unilocal reviews and checked out I Love Nails on Broadway. Easily made a Tuesday afternoon appointment with Leon, in out and #perfection!!! He will be my new nail technician. Thank you so much for creating exactly what I wanted. So in with my nails.

My wife invited me to go with her to get pedicures. What a fantastic experience. You sit in huge leather massaging chairs drinking wine, watching a nice flat screen TV while experts take exceptional care of your feet.
Kicks Ass and Balls!
