I had a wonderful visit!!! So glad to find this gem! It is always a roll of the dice trying a new salon, but this one is a winner! The pedicure with hot stone massage and paraffin was heavenly. The shellac on my toes is the best I have had. She was very gentle but also made my severely rough heels smooth as silk!!! I am super hard on my nails as a housekeeper (and cleanliness is very important to me!) So I just wanted to strengthen my nails but keep them natural. I absolutely love the very strong but natural results! She used a nude color and shaped them exactly as I asked. The little extra expense for shellac is definitely worth it, especially with how hard I am on my nails. I also requested a knuckle wax and it was super reasonable, quick, and thorough. I will definitely be coming back from now on and referring friends! Thank you ladies!

I popped in here when I first moved to Portland a few months ago. It was a nice enough atmosphere and the shop was clean. My nails came out... okay. The tech cut my finger with a nail file, so that detracted somewhat, but I know accidents happen. They did start to chip off toward the end of the manicures life, which I havent seen happen in a long time. I tried out another place after this one and Ive stuck with it since then.I just like the way my nails turn out better there.

I always go to Essence Nails! I get a pedicure with shellac every time and my sister gets a manicure. They have lots of color choices, are very clean, and professional. Good prices as well, and many different options for pedicures. Love this place!

Got a shellac manicure and pedicure and not only were my nails rushed, I had asked politely for my nails to be fixed more than once and they still were not done correctly and I was responded very cold. There is nail polish all on my skin around my toes and fingernails as if a kid had painted my nails and my nails were not even cut or cleared around the skin area. The entire service was done badly and terrible service, would not go again. I paid almost $100 for a $10 service and unfortunately I would not go again.

I love my manicure! My technician really knew what she was doing getting my stubborn acrylics off. She had me in and out the door in no time, in the best way possible. My gel is very neatly done. Will definitely be coming back here!

I’ve been coming to Essence for over 2 years now + couldn’t be happier. each tech is talented + so detailed in her work.

Love getting my nails done here, everyone is so nice and wants to make sure you are happy with your visit. Great availability, remember returning customers (like myself) and will ask how you are doing. Prices are fair for the level of work they do and have a great selection of colors!

Absolutely a great experience getting a pedicure. Staff was super friendly and layer back. Very much enjoyed getting a pedi.

The only place I go! Ana is amazing and everyone is super nice.

Ana is amazing! She does such an amazing job. I have gone to her for months and will continue. Thank you Ana for making my hands look amazing

This is the best place for a pedicure I’ve been to since I moved to Portland more than three years ago. VERY reasonable prices and excellent staff. Very skilled! Relaxing environment. I’ve been here twice now and will definitely be back!

I came here for some acrylic gels, i was actually the last costumer so i loved how they took their time and didn’t rush it even though i’m sure they just wanted to go home. the salon was very nice and clean and the nails lasted about 3 weeks to a month! would definitely come again!

Super friendly staff clean atmosphere loved it 100%!
