I’ve been going to Onyx for about 7 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. BB has a great small staff of talented nail artists and manicurists. If you’re going to get acrylics, I would suggest having BB do them—she is amazing and has high standards. I think that the value for money is unbeatable, especially in the Pearl district! Technicians are fast but not rushed—you can get a gel mani + spa gel pedi in under an hour. They also keep their nail color selection up to date, and always have the most current season of OPI gel colors. The atmosphere also feels like you are in an upscale spa. They keep soothing music playing, and the decor is a beautiful homage to the owners Vietnamese heritage. All in all a lovely nail salon deserving of a five star review.

My fave nail salon for acrylics. BB is highly attuned to detail and always makes sure the nails are super thin.

When you book an appointment at a expensive nail salon you expect them to do a good job however that was not the experience I had. I went to get my nails done for my wedding. The nail tech struggled to file my nails the correct shape so after a while another woman came and took over to show her out to do it. By the time she was done my nails were shorter than I wanted which wasnt the biggest deal. The other girl who didnt really know what she was doing took back over and she didnt file the tops enough so they look like of bubbly. Also when I picked out my nail color swatch which was a rose gold color and she told me that it was color changing and that they would turn silver if I still my hand in hot water, and even though I didnt want silver nails (doesnt match my dress) I agreed that was fine since I wasnt going to be sticking my nails in water at the wedding. However after she painted them I noticed that the opposite was the case, that they would always be silver unless my hands in water. When I told her that, she insisted it was silver from the infrared light told me that it would change to the color I wanted after. so I leave and they stay silver always unless my hands are in water. So on my wedding day, a day where people are constantly looking at your hands, I had ugly horribly done nails in the wrong color. Dont go here, seriously unprofessional, there a much better places to get your nails done for more reasonable pricing

I got a gel pedicure and the color bubbled up. After going in and asking for them to re-do the one nail that was bubbled up at the time. The rest of my nails afterwards did the same. I have never had this happen to my nails before. I won’t be going to this salon again.

Im aways so skeptical about going to new salons. I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I typically do my own nails because I’m so picky! However Onyx Salon was great!! The nail service was amazing, they paid attention to detail and perfected my shape (which I’m the most picky about) The atmosphere is so comfortable and cozy! And honestly they won me over with the complimentary wine! I will def be back!

Love my full set of new claws. BB DID AN AMAZING JOB and i will be coming back offten my mom also enjoyed her pedi she was so relaxed it was a great 31st birthday for me.

First rate spa experience, I always go here when in Portland. They do a marvelous job with great care. Unlike other salons where they are just very quickly getting other people through and you are just one more client, at Onyx you truly are pampered and it is very relaxing experience.

Everyone at Onyx are experienced and pleasant. They do my Spa pedicure and I always enjoy being there. My wife and I go in together. The salon owner is appreciative of our business and has a nice sense of humor. She did not ask me to submit this review.

Very professional and very clean. Are very nice and do excellent detailed work. Love to come here when visiting my daughter.

Best pedicure I’ve had in a LONG time. So through and great massage. Really peaceful and nice atmosphere. Super efficient. Great service, good prices. Very clean.

The massage chairs and atmosphere make for a relaxing appointment. The regular pedicure was great, as expected and lasted over three weeks. Unfortunately, the gel manicure didn’t even last one week before starting to peel. I noticed it was because the clear top coat was on my skin on the sides of my nails. Needless to say, I was disappointed in the lack of detail and care on the manicure.

Best people to handle your feet with care. Complimentary hot tea or coffee is always given right as you set down. Massages chairs are the most relaxing when enjoy the full pedicure experience.

I started going to Onyx Salon 8 years ago. I moved out of state for 5 years and just recently returned. Remembering that I always loved their service and the ambience, I again began getting my nails done with them. BB is still there and she remembered me after all those years away! She’s the best and gets the nail shape perfect every time. She’s also super quick, so if you need to grab a mani on your lunch break, she’s your gal. The salon is small and intimate which adds to the peaceful feel, but I wouldn’t suggest it for big groups. All in all, 5 stars!

The best gel manicure I’ve ever had! An was friendly, very detailed oriented which I appreciate, did a wonderful job, and my nails look great. He gave a really relaxing massage which some other salons have a super light touch. Also love that the salon uses UV blocking gloves!

The gentlemen that did my pedicure was very thorough. It is the best pedi I have had in Portland yet!

Ive been here to Onyx a countless number of times, and every visit is wonderful. BB, Vihn, and all the staff here are highly skilled, which shows in the final product. Best nail salon Ive ever been to 💖💅✨

I have been getting my nails done by B.B at Onyx for many many years, and their team always provides a great experience. She knows exactly what every client wants, provides suggestions, and always delivers an amazing finished look. My nails are consistently PERFECT, and I usually visit B.B about every four weeks. Give them a visit!!

I loved my manicure, I had the most perfect acrylic manicure. The polish looked great 3 weeks later. The ladies were so nice and put money in the parking meter for me since I am from another city and didnt understand the parking meter. I went to a nail salon in my home town after my trip to Portland and I then realized how perfect my manicure was at Onyx.

Ive been getting manicures and pedicures at Onyx Salon for 10 years. BB and her staff are fabulous.

Go get a pedicure here! You will be transported when you sit in the back and enjoy the friendly staff and excellent service!Edit: this place is still the best Mani/pedi in Portland

SO happy!! These guys and gals do a great job, and were able to accommodate me walking in on busy Saturday morning. Im really just thrilled with this nail salon!

If I could give this place six stars I would. Amazing manicure, great selection, super speedy and very clean. Great all around

The team here always accommodates, is efficient and professional, and a very nice spa atmosphere and they always make sure your massager is on and you have a tea!

Update: they broke in a week!

BB snd Tina and the team at Onyx are the best. You will get the perfect shellac manicure and pedicure at reasonable.prices.

Went in on my lunch break, was out in 45 minutes! fill + gel. they look amazing, so nice and so efficient!

If I could give them a -0 they deserve it. These cats seriously got me sitting there for over an hour to tell me that shes booked. And they are sloppy and prejudice. And rude. I will never go there again.

My friend and I came here for a last minute manicure. The overall experience was unpleasant. My acrylic nails were done very sloppy - they are uneven texture, sharp on some edges, and the nail polish is thicker in some spots than others. The lady was talking on her cellphone even while she was using the electric sander on my nails!! The equipment was dirty and had nail dust all over. My friend on the other hand had her cuticle cut so short her finger bled, and had to remove nail polish from her skin once we got home. Dont recommend this place at all!!

Atmosphere was so relaxing! Plus I got a wonderful pedicure...that has standed the test of time!

Google shows open until 7pm. Called and location is closed.

Always rushed, trying to get done with you as fast as possible to get to the next person. They give wine to some women, and others dont even get a cup of water, much less are even asked if theyd like a glass of wine! Manis and Pedis are just ok. There are MUCH better places to go in the Pearl, and in Portland!!!

Fantastic mani pedi, lovely foot and calf massage, attention to detail, and lovely customer service

Showed up 1 hour before close and refused service (no person in queue). Felt stereotyped.

Super lovely Salon, great for groups. Always accomodating for walk-ins... Chill vibe, Free Wifi, heavenly massage chairs and gentle hands. Very good customer service and hard working employees like An. Bb is the hostess with the mostest; and a very special thanks to Vinh who transformed my claws into a dainty French tipped mmasterpiecs even Cinderella would be jealous of. All for a reasonable price at easily acccessible location.

BB is the best

Great job with my nails!

Always great service!!

The place was empty. They tried to push the gel manicure repeatedly, but when I insisted on a regular manicure, suddenly they asked if I could come back at a later time. I told them I would call them, but I probably wont. I felt like my business was not wanted.

BB is the best!
