Nails by Lily

The people are not friendly at all. They did not offer me any water or refreshment. They made me walk bare footed on their floor.
The pedicure is runny and sloppy.
They charged me for the nail filer packet.
The massage part of the pedicure was half ass.
Overall, not coming back.

I am afraid that this shop was not a good experience. The husband removed the fill on my nails and used the little machine to remove it and push back my cuticles. Very painful. I have several small cuts along my cuticle lines. His wife painted my nails. She appeared disinterested. These folks have a very heavy accent and I ofund them hard to understand

Larry and Vivian are amazing. Every other week I treat myself by spending time with these beautiful people. Whether I have an appointment or a walk-​in, I’ve always left very happy.

I was in PDX/​Vancouver for work and searched on Unilocal for a nail salon nearby, and luckily found Nails by Lily! I haven’t had acrylics for two+ years so was very excited and a little nervous. Vivian did my nails and was fabulous. She was a delight to chat with and my nails were exactly what I wanted. I asked for the «square round» look which I’ve never had, and love it so much more than just the square. I even splurged and got a design on my ring finger, and she did a very subtle and elegant design. I’m thankful I come to PDX every month so I can see Vivian again. I highly recommend this salon!

I’ve been to upscale salons and inexpensive salons and though this salon might not have offered the most visually stimulating and relaxing environment, it was the BEST mani/​pedi I’ve ever had. I treated my friend to her first pedicure (the deluxe) and she loved it. For the price and service, it’s an unbeatable value. I will definitely be going back!

Vivian and Larry are absolutely amazing. I feel badly arriving last minute to any establishment, but they completed a full service pedicure + design+ removal/​reapplication of my gel manicure in less than an hour with fabulous massage as just one more wow factor! I was going to come back another day for the manicure, but they didn’t make me feel the least bit rushed. I also like that you are provided your own emory board/​other mani items in a zip lock bag to leave in the car for subsequent visits. Great experience EVERY time and I highly recommend their services!

Being from out of town and needing to find a nail salon to do our nails for an upcoming wedding. I jumped on Unilocal and found this place near my friend’s house. We made appointments for 4 of us.
There were only 2 people working in the salon when we arrived so basically they were going to do all 4 of us at the same time. We decided on the hot stone massage for pedicures and except for the bride we got manicures as well.
The service was friendly & great. They offered us refreshments. You can buy your own pedice stone, nail file and toe separater for $ 3.00. They give it to you so you can bring it back the next time you visit. I think the woman’s name was Vivian, her art was great. The man working there was pretty good as well.
My second visit to this salon was like night and day. The first experience was so pleasurable that I was expecting the same treatment.
We again opted for the hot stone massage. Everything was going well until the guy stuck my best friend’s foot into the hot wax plastic bag. She jumped out of her seat and told the guy it was too hot but he told her it wasn’t. She was frantically trying to get her foot out of it but the guy firmly held her foot with the hot wax bag still on. He put the bag under cold water & kept telling her it was fine. When he finally took her foot out of the bag her foot was red! The guy didn’t even apologize. He told her she would be ok. Before he put the other bag on her other foot, he cooled it down under the cold water. He sarcastically asked her if it was still too hot and told her it was normal temperature and that she must be sensitive. Really?
When it was my turn, he did the same but was careful to cool down the bag before putting it on my foot. After that his attitude totally changed. He went from friendly to rude. His attitude sucked. It was clear he was trying to rush us out of there. I took a pic of my bestie sitting in her chair next to me and the guy about had a heart attack. He told me no pics. I wasn’t taking pics of him or his salon just my bestie. He got really angry and insisted I take no pics. Not even of my own foot. It’s my foot, why can’t I take a picture? He kept saying no pics. Smh.
Don’t think I’ll be going back here when I visit the mainland.

Went to this salon based on other user review and the experience could not have been worse. Show up for our appt and they are still cleaning and vacuuming but have been open for a half and hour. Hd scheduled three pedicures and nails. They only had staff to get two done and so I waited in the water that began to get cold and so siting with feet in Luke cold water for a good thirty minutes. They then proceed to take a walk In and a phone appt. for two more pedicures. I get a quick and sloppy paint and file job, am told it is three dollars extra for the files and I can bring them back next time, yeah wont be a next time but okay. I then proceed to get a terrible leg and foot message with the male tech grabbing and crushing my toes together, not sure how that is suppose to be relaxing but okay. Then after we are done with a substandard pedicures, I ask about our nails and now they are too busy to work on our fill and full set so we are asked to wait or come back. Left and had a much better experience at de lux nails down the road. Not sure how the reviews on this place have been so stellar? Staff was not friendly, service sucked. Not ever going back.

WORST MANICURE EVER!
I decided to try this nail salon because of all the good reviews I read. Big mistake. I don’t know what was wrong that day. I really don’t like to bad mouth places but it was so bad, I have to say something.
I went in for just a shellac polish manicure and regular polish pedicure. I was the only one in the salon at the time, both the man and woman worked on my nails, which was nice. My toes came out ok. My hands… were terrible! By the end, my nails were different lengths, not even, and not even smooth! They were all jagged because she didn’t even file them and she cut me twice!
Usually it is suppose to be a relaxing experience. I felt very rushed.
Upon leaving, I sat in my car and had to file my nails just to make them look decent…

It’s Friday. I’m ready for the work week to be done. It’s lunch time — how do I make the time pass? Of course, I settle on a quick mani at a nearby nail salon.
I popped into Nails by Lily and was bummed to see many of the chairs already filled and two very busy people running among the customers.
They asked me what I’d like, I told them, they said it would be a fifteen minute wait. I frowned, glanced at my invisible watch on my wrist and said that I couldn’t wait that long, had to go back to work.
The two workers exchange conversation in a language I did not understand, and then motioned me to a chair. She did an amazing job in less than 20 minutes and I was out of there and back to the office with time to spare.
Their prices were very reasonable and they were offering a 20% off discount on any service. They had a great selection of colors and do Shellac as well.
I’ll definitely be back.

Best nail place in Vancouver! Larry and Vivian are super sweet. First class manicures and pedicures. Nice massage chairs. I highly recommend the paraffin wax pedicure — makes your feet feel fabulous.

I had a great experience all around. I came in to get a pedicure and it was so much more then I expected. They have 3 pedicures to choose from I got 1 step up from basic. The paraffin wax wrap and the mud mask for my legs was a wonderful addition. The price is good also and right now they are offering 30% off since there are new owners. I also like that you purchase you own file, buffer and etc as I kinda have a thing about germs. They also offer water, soda and coffee.

I listened to the Unilocalers reviews and went to see for myself as I have not been able find a nail salon in Vancouver who actually values the customer and is not preoccupied with their personal conversations with other employees and their cell phones.
The salon is new, clean and everyone is very attentive and personable… I actually felt that the nail technician (Lena) spent the time to listen to me and my nails are fantastic! This was by far the BEST experience I have had in Vancouver so if you are looking for a salon that actually pays attention to YOU the customer and your wants, needs, and desires to ensure your happiness and satisfaction, this is the salon to go to :)

Tried this place on the recommendation of my hair dresser and was quite impressed. Under new ownership, everything is brand new and very clean. The pedi chairs were especially nice. Right now they offer 30% off all their services so I got both a shellac manicure and a hot stone pedi. Both were wonderful and the staff did a great job. I will go back!

OUTSTANDING service, excellent work, kind people. I will be coming back — a lot!

Go see Lily — she is SUPER nice and does an amazing job with your nails. Thin, strong and very pretty. I love her vibrant bubbly personality and the fact that you have your own «stuff» with your name waiting for you when you arrive.
