Healthy Nails and Spa in Portland, OR

Still, by far, the best mani/pedi in Sellwood.   There are 1/2 dozen choices and I've tried them all.   Healthy nails takes the time to do it right and they are very friendly.   They have also recently remodeled, which is always a great thing.   I can't recommend highly enough.  Enjoy.

Sadly I have to leave my thoughts on a place I have been coming to for almost 15 years. My daughter and I made appointments  2 days in advance for pedicures with Henry the owner over the phone. When we arrived they promptly started our pedicures and about half way thru my daughters pedicure a women walked in insisting to get a pedicure/manicure right away. Henry the owner spoke with her and explained that she would have to wait for availability. The women then came over in the middle of my daughters pedicure  which by the way she is only 13years old and rudely interrupted the women Ruby and asked when she could fit her in and that she only wanted Ruby. When she told her she would have to wait till she was done with my daughters service she stood next to my daughters chair till she got what she wanted. Finally someone came over and moved her to a nail station to wait. Then the lady who was doing my daughters service left her to put the women in a pedicure chair and soak her gel off. Rewarding BAD behavior and interrupting my daughters service is not ok and the  rewarding that bad behavior to someone has zero thought of someone else.  Sadness me the the owner would allow this to happen. I called to speak with Henry regarding this and he listened but choose to do nothing for my daughter. Sadly we will NOT be coming back to the establishment again. I asked him to make it right with my daughter and he didn't.

Kinda pricey for the quality of french manicure, but the deluxe Pedi was decent with a nice massage. I definitely wouldn't get French tip again.
I do wish they offered gel nail polish, not just gel fake nails, because it took hours for my 5 coats of each color on the French tip mani to dry, which led to it getting messed up 1.5hrs later. :/ They are fast though and accommodated a couple walk-in's while we were there.

I've been here many times and did not appreciate the man who used to run it. I went to ENails down the street for a while and although I thought the technicians were good, my daughters were not getting the best treatment over at ENails. They had the manager handle their acrylics and he was rude, a bit on the abusive side and he cut into their cuticles many times!

This is why I'm back at Healthy Nails. I wish they did acrylics so my daughters would join me.

I had a gel mani/pedi. They were nice, did not rush me and did an excellent job! I will be continuing to be a regular customer at Healthy Nails.

I have been coming here for almost 15 years. I really liked this place. It was so consistent. And the people are kind. But I just got the worst manicure... it's wrecked. I didn't see how bad it was until I got home and looked with my glasses on! The service was great but they were busy and Henry painted my nails. He's very kind and diligent but I think he painted my nails so thickly it couldn't dry. They said 15 minutes was good and I waited 20. But apparently it wasn't enough.  But besides that, there are all kinds of scrapes from when he was trying to get the paint off my fingers. Just don't do it. And no, I don't want gel because as tough as it is, it wrecks my nails. Regular polish works fine for my needs... it's not like people were walking around with shitty nail polish paint jobs before gel came along! Feeling sad.
