Terwilliger Nails

One of my favorite nail salons in Portland. The service is always consistent and no matter who does my nails they look great and last a long time. Even when they’re busy they will always try their best to fit you into their schedule. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a high quality nail salon in Portland.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this nail salon! The interior is beautiful and clean. And, the staff is so attentive. Plus, I’ve never gotten a better shellac mani! Lasted a month without chipping! Thank you, Terwilliger nails! Best salon in town!

I love Terwilliger Nails! Every time I leave the salon my nails look perfect. I have a job were my hands must look immaculate. I am forever receiving complements. I go in every two weeks for a fill on my acrylics and I treat myself once a month for a relaxing pedicure. I love the comfortable massage chairs. Tina the owner is professional and gracious. She always helps me come up with new designs for my nails. The salon is clean and up to date and the prices are good. I recommend you get in and treat yourself. Your worth it! Right!

I wouldn’t go here. My friend and I made a noon appointment so we could get them done during our lunch break. When we got there they asked us to wait about fifteen minutes which made us short on time. My nails were rushed. They then charged me twice for my nails and when I called to let them know they said it will take a week to get back into my account. It ended up taking over a month. Don’t go here!

Best nail salon ever! Tina & her husband are such great people. They truly care about their clients. They are so funny. They remember details about my life & treat me like I’m an old friend. They take their time and do a great job. The salon is very clean and comfortable & they care about hygiene. They always offer me something to drink and almost always offer me snacks. I love this salon!

Clean, friendly and reasonably priced. Would def recommend. Also they have more gel colors than any other place I have been.

I moved into the neighborhood 3yrs ago and have been looking for a great nail place. Sadly it took me till 3 months ago to find Terwilliger Nails! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I have now been 3 times and they treat me like an old friend. My first experience was a pedicure with Kristin. I am all about the massage and relaxation. She did a great job. The next two times were for nails. I called right before I went to make sure I could get her and not have to wait. She listened to what I wanted my nails to look like and took her time to make them perfect.
I can’t say enough how great my experiences have been and highly recommend!!!

These girls do awesome work! I always enjoy my experience here. I work at the salon next door and I can always confidently recommend this nail salon to my clients. They consistently do fabulous work, are accommodating, and the salon is clean.

I had a nice experience at Terwilliger Nails. I would recommend and return.
I called ahead, usually I will do the ‘walk-​in’, but last time I tried that in this neighborhood, I couldn’t get in and had to search elsewhere.
They had an opening at 2:45. They had plenty of polish to select from, good brands: OPI and such. I didn’t see any pricing listed on the wall — curious. They only had two techs and I saw them turn down a few potential customers that were walk ins. I was there for a pedicure only and they handed me a menu of services to chose from. I went for the $ 45 Deluxe option which included a massage with rocks and the extra time with your feet in the baggies. The owner later showed up and chatted with another regular client. It seemed the staff were familiar with a few of their customers. Gave it a nice homey feel. The water temp. was good and hot. They didn’t have too much atmosphere. Could use a little art. I heard the gals offer: «Water, Tea, Beer, Wine?» to a customer. So cute. I had some hot tea. The quality of work and price were good and fair They made the time enjoyable. I relaxed after my pedicure and they didn’t rush me out the door. A TV monitor, but it was off. Plenty of magazines to read. The only thing I might recommend would be to offer more techs — so they can accept more clients walking in. They have designated parking spots and the lot is a bit tight sharing it with other tenants.

My 83 year old Mom and I tried this place for the first time on 2÷8÷15 and were extremely pleased. My mom has sensitive feet and asked for them to be gentle, not too hot of water, etc. Both of the owners were very attentive to her about that and constantly asking her if her feet were okay or if something specific they were doing was okay. They also asked me constantly if I was okay with temp of water, wax on feet, etc. They were very personable and professional. with my mom’s age and my physical restraints I appreciated that there was an elevator to get upstairs. Our nails looked great. I will be going back!

I have been here twice and I love this place. It looks really clean for me. And all the tools, they always clean every time after they served the foods to the customers. However, the employees are super friendly, they contribute the best services they can, to make you satisfied.
I’ll be back again.

I had been loyal to my previous nail salon for a year or so. I had been happy with my nails until the past few visits. It was time for a change.
I called ahead and set my appointment. Tina was prompt and professional. I can honestly say that I have never been happier with my nails. She shaped them beautifully and they looked great for more than three weeks.
The parking lot isn’t easy but I try to drive my smaller car to maneuver.
Tina is exceptional and I am thankful that I found her. Go in for a mani/​pedi and see for yourself!

They do not clean their tools properly. I got a great mani pedi here today, but watched the nail technician run the tools under water, wipe them off, and immediately use them on the next customer. This is not ok, and I think it is a violation of the health code.
Do not got here-​it is not worth the health risk.

I have to admit my go to nail lady was out of town so I decided to give this place a try and was VERY impressed! It’s hard to find a good nail salon that does gels, not only do they do gels but they are very attentive to detail and quality of their work. I will definitely come back.

I’m currently searching Unilocal for a new nail salon in Washington, DC to fill the void of Terwilliger nails. The atmosphere, services, and price of Terwilliger Nails makes this place a special treat. Thieu and Tracey were always so eager to chat about school, their children, upcoming weekend plans, and were able to provide a very unique sense of inclusion. Usually they’ll offer a beer, tea, wine – once even a margarita. However one day when I was in there, one of the employees was making a Starbucks run, and asked myself and the other customers what he could bring them back. Once, I brought my boyfriend along for a pedicure, he was visibly very nervous and a little off-​put. They pampered him to the point that he was craving another visit: hot stone massage, paraffin, foot/​leg/​shoulder massage – and they charged me next to nothing for the whole experience. I have never had a gel manicure last as long as the ones I received at Terwilliger Nails. They’ve frequently accepted my roommates and I running in fifteen minutes before close, or on a daring trip rushed between classes. They are constantly getting in new colors, and have a great memory for the taste of each of their clients – I almost exclusively let Thieu or Tracey pick the polish colors towards the end of my year-​long patronage. This shop makes the experience a very special treat, a worthy investment, and their services are a great value!

This was my first visit and I will be back. Great job on my mani/​pedi and the space is clean, décor is much better than other places I have been, and I liked the massage chairs!

Love this place ! They always stay late to accommodate my late schedule and are so friendly ! They even have an all natural chemical free line

I made a reservation for my mom and I in the late afternoon. She got a pedicure which she enjoyed and I got a manicure, it was nice. I was waiting 30 minutes for my manicure to even start, there was a employee just walking around looking, they could have been helping, but it’s okay either way. Everyone was very welcoming but service could have been faster attending costumers. Thanks for this great experience. They did a great job with the nails and I will be coming back. Right now I’m completely in love with my flower design and color, see you guys in a couple weeks!

I went here this week for a fill. Amazing! Tina is super sweet and friendly. She is honest about what colors would look good, length, etc, but also was willing to go nuts on my nails to make them pretty and wild. Just how I like it. I got a really nice design on hot pink acrylic (shaped really well, btw) for $ 25. I definitely will be back for more.

Been here twice so far to get shellac done on my nails. The lady is super nice and the second time her husband was there and he was great to chat with. Definitely recommend going on Monday or Tuesday as they are not as busy.
Looking forward to keeping this as my continued place for my nails and toes.
