Very sweet ladies, genuine, welcoming atmosphere.Very refreshing to most salons Ive been to. They clearly enjoy their work and love their customers. Great polish gel and dip selection and designs. They take pride in their trade and pay attention to detail which I appreciate. Will definitely come back!
I have been coming to EXP for years. They always do a great job; highly recommend!
Omg! This is the ABSOLUTE BEST nail salon I have ever been to. All the ladies who work here are incredibly personable and so welcoming! I love having conversations with everyone and these ladies are so consistent :) I wish I could give this salon 10 stars because they are decently priced and give incredible service! I wont go to any other salon except this one!!
The women that run this business do a great job. I have been coming here for about four years now. Great value for the money.
Exquisit Service provided by the staff here in Ceder Hills. Pedicure and manicure are all great options to take.
Very close to my house, I had read some reviews and figured I would give it a try. I am very pleased with the work and the atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.
I received excellent friendly service l will recommend this business.
I am always so pleased to get my nail services at EXP. They are so kind and attentive, very thorough and detailed. The staff and owner, Sarah, are always so warm and friendly. Thank you!
This is just MY experience,I walk a walk-in and accommodated to an immediate appointment. Thank you. I was given accurate rates.I came in to get my dip acrylics removed from elsewhere. Normal procedure: foil, acetone, cotton ball. However, a freshly boiled glass bowl of water I was to submerge my hands into… metal retains lots of heat. I was given no instruction. I could keep my hands submerged, as would singe my skin, so the nail glue and dip was partially still on. My hands were handle with uncertainty most my entire visit. I’m not sure if the tech was new, but I’ve never had my hands treated in such an odd way. We presume to do my gel. No mani. Was it because I didn’t get a manicure? I couldn’t help but think. When base layering and what not, I felt it was sloppy, but figured I’d wait for the result. When the tech presumed to polish my nails, the first and only question I asked before starting, is if my cuticles could please be pushed back. They gladly said yes, and never followed through. Okaaay? I thought… when clipping my nails I was never asked about shape or length. They were mostly different lengths. And the shapes are square rounded and some asymmetrical with pointed corners. So, I brought it up and pointed out some nails, asking if they could even out my nails. They nodded. And never followed through. Next, the gel polish. I repeatedly had to ask for lint and nail fibers to be removed that were giving bulges in the polish, and that doesn’t even account for the final look that has both fibers, bubbles under the polish (exploding the nail,) lot of brown specks not sure what that’s even from. I asked if the nail polish could me removed from off my skin. My nails are stuck to my fingers in several spots from the polish and on the other side of my fingers.If this nail tech is new, then I think it’s okay as long as you offer the option, and maybe offer a discount. This left me wondering; was it my race, or the fact that I didn’t want a manicure because I didn’t like the lack of care I was getting, is it because I was a walk in? I usually tip 20-25%, I rarely go less is unheard of, and I honestly felt it was nice for me to tip over 10%. I don’t mind if the didn’t speak English. I love my neighbors of all races creeds and otherwise. But if that’s the case and I’m speaking, asking questions please don’t just say yes, ask me to relay the Q by pointing as another person or something.I honestly am so confused. Idk what I did wrong or how to prevent this. I should have gone to my normal nail salon, but I was away from home.I’m literally going to have to take an emery board to my nails to even it and get it from off my sides and bottom of finger where it’s merged to my skin.If they didn’t have time for me, just say so. This appointment was really disappointing.Sometimes customers just need a bit more information.This is just MY experience. The lady behind me, I heard saying how she doesn’t go anywhere else and loves it there.Maybe it was just a bad nail day… it happens, I guess, right?
Always has appointments available, super nice technicians, clean and friendly atmosphere:-)
Best place in town. Sarah does excellent manicures. And Cindy does a wonderful job at waxing. Support local small businesses like this one. Also they are super friendly gals!! Very convenient. Walking distance from home.
This has been one of my favorite nail places Ive ever gone to. Its convenient because its probably 2 minutes from my home and everyone is always so nice. They have wonderful customer service. ♥️
I have been coming here for over 20 years. They’ve always been so great and care about their quality of work and have such attention to detail. I always bring people with me; my mom, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, husband, sister, daughter. Really everyone, and they’ve all been happy with the care here. I’ll keep coming back for years to come.
Great place to get your nails done!
They follow all the COVID cleaning procedures. They are efficient, friendly, and always glad to see me. Their prices are reasonable. I am so pleased with them@
My go to place, always. They are all wonderful, sweet, welcoming and do fantastic work.
Everyone here is fabulous! The salon is clean, the staff is friendly and kind and I’m always very happy with my pedicures and manicures. Lots of colors to choose from (updated seasonly) and I appreciate that the staff pays close attention to detail. Highly recommend
I have been coming here for almost a year and each appointment I have gotten my monies worth and so much more. Cherie and Snow take excellent care of me!🥰
Amazing service every single time. They also use high-quality products so my nails last forever!
I have had my nails done at several salons over the years and EXP is by far the best! I will only use this salon and I highly recommend them. Please support local and support the ladies at EXP!
I love EXP. Been going there since they opened. Service is excellent. All the technicians are friendly. Their skills are superb. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
I love Sarah she is so sweet and her work is very much recommend.
Best shellac mani/ pedi in town! Like others mentioned, they pay so much attention to detail and take their time!! That has been my issue with other places, they rush to be done with me and on to the next customer. Not once did I feel that at EXP. Hue did an amazing job! I am so pleased to have found someone I can go see consistently!
Cindy is very good with my problem toes and I am always happy with the results. The atmosphere is calm with quiet music and muted travel shows on the TVs.
Always clean and professional, and the pedicures wear for weeks!! 😎
The girls always do a such a great job and they take their time! The foot and leg massage is always a special treat! I have been to many salons, but this place is my favorite!
First time here today and loved this place. Technicians were professional, incredibly detailed, and took their time to ensure it was done correctly. Very relaxing. They include paraffin with the mani/pedi as well, which is really nice. My nails look fabulous, I will be back! I would highly recommend!
This is my go to for gel manicures and pedicures. The salon is very clean, all the techs very professional and friendly. The gel lasts so long, much longer than all the other salons I’ve tried, and that is a lot. They also do the extras like paraffin for manis and pedis. The only thing I’d change is more upbeat music!
They always work me in last minute and do a good job for about $30-40 for a pedi
Have been going here for a couple of years now. love the staff; they all do great work and are so friendly! Very clean environment too.
I love Haley! My nails look perfect every single time!
These ladies did an excellent job on my nails. They look so natural. I will definitely go back next time Im in town.
I am a regular at this salon and I was there at the same time as Lindsey (who gave 3 bad reviews) . It is totally unreasonable for a clinician to remove a SHELLAC pedicure and do a regular pedicure in an HOUR! Let’s get real😫. She was rude and disruptive. They offered to do it again at any time, but she refused. Please don’t let her negativity keep you from one of the cleanest, finest salons in greater Portland with easy parking and super gals❤️
This place is awesome! That was the best, most relaxing, highest quality manicure I have ever received. Such a great price, great service, and the nail technician was very meticulous. I got a gel manicure, and I can tell it is going to last 2 weeks. I highly, highly recommend.
I love this place! The ladies are very sweet and fun. An amazing price for a great job. They always have a special going on, and Ive gotten the same quality service as those overpriced salons that dont even remember your name. I always come back.
Excellent service, thorough and as another mentioned ‘meticulous’. Didn’t make me feel rushed and great price. This is my new spot.
Just wonderful! Sarah did my acrylic nails twice now, and I can’t be happier with the results. The overall atmosphere is relaxing and everyone working there is very nice!
Ive been trying different nail salons in the area and this one by far is the best. There are some great ones in the area, dont get me wrong, but none compare in quality and pricing. Not only do they do a great job, but theyre so sweet and nice. The pricing is so reasonable as well.
My fiance and i came here to get nails done for our wedding. I called when they opened and made an appointment. We came in at 1 pm on Tuesday. It was so dead that the lady sitting at one of the desks didnt hear us come in? after a second of waiting for her to notice, i said hello? which finally got her attention. It didnt get much better for me.The lady doing my pedicure couldnt understand that i wanted a flower on my big toe. She just stared at me blankly until i pulled up a picture on my phone. She then messed up 3 times and the resulting flower wasnt what i wanted but at this point i wasnt sure she would get it. She left polish on my feet and then on to the mani.At this point 3 other ladies had walked in and there were only 3 women total working. My fiance didnt mind but has had next to no experience. The lady doing his nails was bouncing back and forth between him and one of the new ladies. It seemed like they really rushed his massaging which was half the point of him coming with me since he wasnt getting polish put onFor my manicure i had a short nail so i asked her to even out my nails to that shorter length and do square tips. She cut way too much and rounded all my tips. And they arent even straight! She asked if i liked the shape of my tips and the finger she showed me was okay. She proceeded to do the other ones much thicker and she kept missing parts of my nail with the white french tip. I kept trying to point them out but at this point she had taken over 90 minutes and we were going to be late for our next appointment. I had asked for a silver line with my french tip and again looked at me with a completely dumbfounded stare . Another lady came over to explain and show her but she still took a while to understand. She ended up putting about 7 coats of polish on my nails which is WAY too many. and she coated over my skin. I was so flustered and we were late i just wanted to get out of there as fast as i could because she was causing me major anxiety.For over $100 for nails to have my fingers look chipped, crooked and have her paint gel on my skin that took all of 1 hand wash to peal my thumb nail i will NEVER come back and warn everyone i know to stay away. Worse nail experience i have had and for my wedding nails just makes it worse. I will be going somewhere else to get it fixed.
These ladies are wonderful. I havent gone anywhere else for the last 4 years. Thank you for doing such a great job!
I go here often for pedicures and theyre wonderful. They always do a fantastic job and are pleasant and friendly. Id recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal with amazing results.
Visiting from out of town, needed to get my nails done. By far the best manicure over ever had. I will definitely come next time Im in town.
A little on the slow side, and I always have to wait even if I have an appointment. BUT, my nails look fantastic and the ladies who work there are really friendly.
They made an apointment with me that took a hour. The lady snow messed up my toes and I still paid full price. Even after explaining I took an extended lunch to have this done.
Love this place! I have been going for several years. They are very friendly and nice. Very accommodating and make my daughter and I feel very special.
Could not do an ombre nail color for my wedding. Said it would cost a lot extra just to blend the color. The other girl laughed when the one girl said that.Also she left a ton of nail polish on my arm. The UV light thing was broken and stung my hand super bad.The lady was on the phone the whole time.We got lectured for coming in and adding an eyebrow wax on top of our appointment because they had to turn someone away because they were under staffed.Terrible experience. Never again. Oh and my eyebrows arent even!
Excellent service.
Had a full set put on a week ago yesterday and I’ve noticed they started to grow out and part of the acrylic is on top of my cuticle and as it grows out the part that is stuck is stretching out my skin. I went in to ask them to look at it and she insisted it was just that my nail haven’t grown out yet (even though 1/2 of one of my nails had grow out and the other 1/2 was pulling my skin with it). I was trying to show her but she just kept saying it wasn’t on top of my cuticle and that my nails just grow really slow. Ended up getting frustrated, walking out, and having another salon remove it and they confirmed what I was saying and had to soak off the acrylic so it didn’t rip my skin off during the removal process. So bummed as I just wasted 3 hours of my weekend and had to pay to have them remove/ another set out back on.
You can always make an appointment the same day or just walk in. They do not run a turn and burn (get you in the chair/get you out) service. They NEVER make you feel rushed like so many other places. Great Service and less expensive than most. I would make this a 5 star but there is one gal in there that tends to be a little rough but everyone is very friendly.
Love this place! All the ladies are very friendly and make you feel so pampered. Great place for a mani pedi mini spa day :)
Awesome experience. Quick and efficient! I am super happy with my nails.
Ive come to this salon a few times and always had a great experience, but after today I wont be going back. I made an appointment to get my pedicure done after work. When I got there I can hear from the back room someone coughing at the top of their lungs and out of the four available ladies the one coughing is going to do my pedi. Great.Not only did she cough all over my feet and her hands she was using (she didnt have the decency to cough away or in to her arm). Halfway through the pedicure, she coughs so loud she spits her cough drop to the floor, looks at me- laughs it off and leaves it in the floor. It was disgusting. I went in for a relaxing time and instead left in a bad mood, grossed out and probably with her cold and cough. Super unsanitary and awful experience. They couldve had any other lady do my pedicure and send her home. No need to get ur customers sick.
I have been getting mani/pedis here for over 10 years now. Tracy was always meticulous but no longer available. Sarah now does my nails and always meticulous as well. A very clean, professional, and friendly environment.
Very sweet people and good service
I appreciate the pleasant staff and attention to detail.
Cindy did an amazing job love the snow flake she did and hot wax with hand massage was unexpected nice surprise one of the best experiences!
Close to home, open Sundays, great service
This was my second visit. The first I asked for a mani and pedi. Got the pedi and sat in the shop for 2 and a half hours. When I asked how much longer for my nails I was told Oh we didnt know you wanted nail done. Today I call in advance and informed them I wanted a full set and a pedicure. They said my toe nails were too long to cut as low as I wanted them (which is why I wanted a pedicure...39 dollars for feet that look like eagle feet. Then when I get to the nail table expecting a full set of shellacked nails the tech proceeds to cut my nails down and I asked if she knew I wanted a full set. She said, oh yes. I do shellac. She gives me a manicure and again I ask about the full set. They tell me they didnt know thats what I wanted. I was pissed! For New years my hands look like a first grader and my feet look like I could use them for deep sea fishing. Never again! The shop is so close to my house I gave them 2 changes. 72 dollars for a terrible experience. An awful expensive lesson.😠😡Today is January 3rd and by now all of the shellac applied to my thumb has popped off as if it were an artificial nail. Who ever has had to come back and add to a bad review of services rendered? SMH!😡
I always get excellent mani/pedis here and the staff is so friendly and go above and beyond. For instance, I ended up scraping my toe and ruining the polish hours after a pedi. Naturally, I was worried they would be annoyed when I came in later that day asking for a touch up, but they were nothing but sweet about the whole situation.
I came in to have my nails fixed from another salons bad job and Sarah (sp?) did a wonderful job!
Best mani Ive ever had! ask for Sarah or Tracy
They always do a nice job, and always friendly 😊
Spotless surroundings, great service, wonderful and talented technicians, and easy access. I have been using their services for years.
They are the home of the best Shellac Nails in the business.
I went in for an appointment and everyone was busy took over a hour and my toes turned out horrible.
Terrible service and was unable to get service even with an apointment
I love this place!
Wonderful, excellent staff, clean, professional and very relaxing!
Great Value
I loved it!
I have been coming here every since we moved to Portland, 10 years ago and absolutely love it. Every human working there gives so much attention to each client. I typically see Cindy because she gives the best leg massages in town! Highly recommend!
