Nail Garden

LOVE IT HERE! My first time here and I was completely blown away! The salon is very clean and the techs working here are really friendly. The nail tech working on me did a wonderful job of cutting my nails and removing the cuticles. After she was done, I was really pleased with how my nails looked now. I’ll definitely come back here again for sure!

I used to love this nail salon back when Steven owned it. He did excellent work. He is long gone now, but he keeps in contact with the employees in that shop and the new owner. I gave them two chances after Steven left, but it only got worse the second time. No more now. I got a set of pink and whites. The man trimmed my real nails too short on several nails and it was painful! One bled. He applied 5 nails crookedly. One nail kept falling off, so he kept reapplying glue to force it to stay and got it all over my finger. He filed the sides so aggressively that on the overglued finger, he tore my skin and it bled. A customer walked in halfway through my session, and apparently had scheduled an appt for that time. I was a walk-​in. She got upset he was doing my nails and she would have to wait. So he began rushing through the work. He applied the white too thick in some areas and not enough in others. He over applied it around the sides of my nails and onto my skin, which of course caused lifting and chipping by the next day. The gel top coat had bubbles on almost every nail which collected makeup, dirt and everything else i touched. It embedded into the bubbled areas and simply wouldnt wash out. My nails were a mess when i left and a disaster just the next day. Complaining does no good. They refuse to believe their workmanship is anything but perfection. Steven, if youre out there, come back!!! Lol. I was a loyal customer until you left. I was so happy because I thought my search was finally over looking for a good salon. But… sigh…back to the drawing board.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I have been coming here sense they opened and they do a good job with my pedicures. I decided a week ago to splurge and get a mani and a pedi keep in mind I’m a college student so this was a big splurge. The pedicure went good and then I get gel done. I told the woman a few times nicely not to cut my cuticles just push them back because I’ve been cut before. I look down at my phone for a second and then look back up and she is cutting my cuticles. I asked her to stop and then she cut me badly. Then without asking she starts to put alcohol on it. She then try’s to cut more of my cuticles and I pulled my hands away and said no. She finished the manicure and it looked horrible. My finger would not stop bleeding and it messed up the gel nails. I talked to the manger he was very rude about it and only took ten off it after humiliating me In front of customers.

I shopped around at 8 different nail salons over the past 6 months; and so far this is my favorite! I made an appointment for my nails and a pedicure for my husband. We got right in on time and were offered complimentary drinks. I have acrylic nails, and they look better after being here once than they did anyplace else! Other places left thick, aritificial looking globs and some even had dimples in the acrylic. Now they are thinner, lighter, and much for natural looking! My husband loved his pedicure, too! He got the basic pedi; they added on a 30 minute hot stone massage for half price since he didn’t have nail polish. We’ll definiately go back and use additional services!

If you come here ask for Kayla ONLY ! She is the only one who has been able to do my nails there the way I want them done. Which is all the way trimmed, clean, and no loose acrylic under the nail. Not asking for much, the owners husband did my nails and not only jacked them up but I had to have the owner fix them and they charged me full price at that ! Warning … Don’t go in on Tuesdays Kayla isn’t there … Just an fyi

Went in to get my nails done today, my nail gal took off my nails than said I have to pick up my child. She advised me I would be taken care of by this guy. Once she walked he came to me and said its going to be almost an hour until I can get to you. I had an appointment and my lunch break and simply didn’t have the time. I would have liked to keep my nails on and been given the choice. I will never be back, everyone be warned. Find a better salon

Horrible customer service. Employees are very rude and even though I couldn’t understand them, make it very clear when they’re talking shit about you. Overall it was a very uncomfortable experience. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Got right in as a walk in. Between the stripper having mommy time with her daughter and the drunk getting a full set, I was fully entertained.
Deluxe pedicure was great and a bargain at $ 30. In Wilsonville, the same services start at $ 40. Ended up getting mani and eyebrow wax, too. Very satisfied! Would happily return.

I tried going here about eighteen months ago and wasn’t impressed. Today I felt a little better about the experience. They’re a little curt about checking in, but the amount of massage and little perks you get for the price is unbeatable. Even a regular pedicure includes wax and a good massage. I’ll be trying them again soon to see if the quality is consistent.

Not a bad pedicure, but service was just ok. Really sketchy when I paid though. Made me write check and then asked me not to fill out the pay to portion. Weird. Will not return.

Came in for a pedicure, got the ‘deluxe’ was 25.00 for cool water, a broken massage chair remote, and not much of a foot/​leg massage. She did a good job on my nails, it just wasn’t that relaxing. paid les for better, so I won’t be going here again.

I’m feeling so-​so about this place after returning here for my first pedicure in a long time, as the weather is finally warming up. They have changed some things since I had been here last. First, their ‘menu’ of pedicures has been reduced to a $ 25 classic pedi or a $ 40 deluxe pedi. Mind you, the sign outside still advertises $ 20 pedicures. Anyways I chose the $ 25 pedi– I refuse to spend $ 40 on a pedicure. It came with paraffin which was nice — I used to upgrade that on my $ 20 pedis when coming here before, as a treat. I was treated by a young girl I hadn’t seen in there before that was sweet and did a good job– but man the upselling was bad. I was asked three times if unwanted to do a manicure as well– to which I refused. I work with chemicals and don’t see the need to spend that money on a mani only to have it ruined. I finally got annoyed at being asked yet again if I wanted one as my toes dried. I wish I could find another place to try that’s local and can accommodate walk ins a little faster, and that’s clean and maintained well. I’m not sure the pedis are worth the $ 25 here. I’m kind of used to most places offering a mani/​pedi deal for like $ 30, but by the time I got out of there with tip that’s what I spent on just a pedi. I’ve also never experienced there some of the other service amenities that other reviewers have mentioned — neck pack, the offering of water, etc. Not sure if they do that just when they aren’t too busy (although there were only two other customers in there the day that I was) or what. Anyhow, I’m going to try to find a different place. :(

Had a good pedicure, but am not happy with the manicure.. She was fast with removing the cuticles and ended up making 2 – 3 small cuts at the end of my nail. I don’t want pain and blood after a manicure! But its a nice clean place otherwise. They have a lot of walk ins. The have those chairs with massage-​so you can sit back and enjoy a massage while getting your nails done. and yes, you get your n
ail kit for 2 $.

pro: i walked right in and got a gel manicure
cons: my cuticles are bleeding, the tips of my nails are jagged and uneven, and the french tips go about halfway down my nail. there are also bubbles in the gel polish and areas that are now chipped because he filed my nails after he applied the polish.
i would not recommend getting a gel manicure here.

Been going to this specific nail salon for the past 3 years. My friends and I are considered somewhat as «regulars» here. I mainly get the Pedi’s but they do a pedi/​mani combo for $ 35. The Classic Pedi alone is $ 25.
I like the service that is provided. They do a wonderful job, taking the time that is needed to have a very nice nail finish. The give your feet and nails the attention that they need with a fabulous 15 minute foot massage.
First time clients, if you don’t have a nail kit already with you, they will provide you one — it’s $ 2 for a pedicure kit and $ 1 for the Manicures. They do it for sanitary causes.

When Nail Garden first opened it’s doors it would have received a 4 star rating. However, the last 3 times I have visited I have been extremely disappointed.
The Pros:
1. Place is clean
2. Customer service is great
3. Pedi chairs are very comfortable
4. Excellent massage given with mani and pedi
The Cons:
1. They thin the polish to make it last longer for them
2. The manicures never last more than a day due to thin polish
3. Products used are mediocre
4. Often times you will sit in a chair for over 30 min. waiting for service, when you had been told it’s only 5 min. wait
In the future if I go back I will be bringing my own polish so I’m not as disappointed.

I heard about the nail salons in Oregon having you purchase a manicure kit $ 1 or a pedicure kit $ 2 so when you go to a nail salon, you would always bring those kits with you just for sanitary purposes. I kinda wish California would do that. But anyways, I didn’t know about that until a friend mentioned to me as I was mentioning that I was going to visit a local nail salon.
Nail Garden is nestled between the hustle and bustle of Cornell and Cornelius Pass Rd. It’s next door to Hot Pot N’ Sushi, Noodles & Co, Panera Bread and Jamba Juice on Cornell mostly.
The prices in Hillsboro for a pedicure are a bit steep for me, compared to LA prices where you would get a combo of a mani/​pedi for only 25. But I was willing to give it a try since my feet needed a good R&R from a hike a few days ago. The basic pedi started off at a $ 20. I took the next package which was $ 25. I was bewildered and amazed that for my $ 25 spent for a deluxe pedi (it was the usual pedi that included a paraffin wax and a longer leg massage) was well worth the price. I do say that Nail Garden really takes care of you and really spends the time on your nails. The massages are GREAT and my legs and feet were refreshed at the end of my time there.
Nail Garden also offers you water as well. Nail colors are from O.P.I. or China Glaze (which is what you see from special retailers for nail stuff). The Spa Pedicure seat offers you a massage and there are also 2 flat screen TVs for your enjoyment.
I’m used to paying cash for my nail services, but what I like about Nail Garden is that they accept anything from debit, credit and cash! I tipped the lady in cash.
Other services that the salon offers other than the manicure are waxing (your typical waxing areas).
Overall, I’m glad I was able to get my pedicure here and would probably come back here for one again. I’ll also probably try a manicure here too.

What a great experience! I have been going to Nail Garden ever since they opened, and Stephen is amazing with my nails! Always a great job, if one breaks (rarley happens) he fixes it no prob and quickly.
The pedicures are THE BEST here! Never go anywhere else! And belive me, I have tried everywhere in Hillsboro! :) The girls take there time, they give you water bottles, warm neck pillows, steamy hot towells, and magazines. My daughter gets her pedicure with me too, and they treat her like a mini princess, and do just a long and good as a job with her as they do with me. I love that they care about the little things. :)
Go to Nail Garden, and you found your go-​to nail and pedi place for good.

My first pedicure in Oregon was here. I got the hour long pedicure from a sweet lady with short hair. They gave me a warm neck pillow and removed my tester polish from my thumb without me having to ask. It was less busy the first time I went.
The second time I chose the extended classic, but got someone else and it was pretty painful for the entire first half. But the latter portion of the pedicure was absolutely wonderful. It was the best massage I’ve ever had, and the detail on the nailpolish was great. It was semi-​busy.
And this last time I went with my mother and aunt, who were visiting, and my friend. We did not have reservations and this was the most business I’ve seen here. I didn’t think it would be that busy on a Thursday before most people get off work. The water was insanely hot, and my aunt had to wait quite a bit.
The inside is nice and clean, the chairs are oddly orgasmic (I can’t have that booty air puff thing on, it’s too weird), it doesn’t smell like chemicals, and the prices are reasonable for the awesome services offered. In Nevada, my female relatives and I always went to the same place and paid more for less. My aunt was surprised to see the price of this pedicure v. the price of the pedicure she normally gets in Nevada, and exclaimed, «Holy crap. That is the best pedicure I’ve ever had.»
I don’t know what they do, but the nail polish stays on for much longer than it usually does.

I’ve been going to Nail Garden for over a year now. When Stephen does my nails I don’t have to go back for a month. I usually just go back when my nails have gotten to the length that they are annoying but they don’t lift or break.
They also do great pedicures. Their chairs a really comfy and they offer to get me something to drink if I want. Don’t miss this place!
