Amazing!!! I have been coming here for a few years. I drive out to this location even though I moved to SW. Mia is the absolute best! I get dip powder and it always lasts 3 weeks!

This used to be my favorite nail place until the last 2 times I’ve been here. Both times I called and made an appointment for services a day or two ahead of time and both times I’ve had to wait a significantly long time when I arrive. This last time I had to wait an hour past my appointment time. An HOUR! I would have left and never come back if I wouldn’t have been leaving for vacation the next day. Terrible. They do a good job but that is unacceptable.

Best pedicure ever! Super clean, friendly, and great prices! Loved the wax dip and hot stone massage... So so fun and will definitely be back! VERY relaxing and they also did a perfect job with the gel polish and cleaning up cuticles etc. LOVED IT!!

I had a lovely and relaxing drop in pedicure earlier this week. I went for the basic plus and it was absolutely delightful. The environment was comfortable and clean. My technician was very kind and did an excellent job throughout the whole experience! This was my first spa venture out since the beginning of the pandemic, and I felt very secure here. I will be back :)

Really great! I called ahead to make an appointment for the royal pedicure. Walking in, everything was very covid safe and very very clean. I was really impressed. My nail tech was very sweet and extremely thorough. 10/10!

The ladies at Skylar are so amazing and talented. Its been nearly two weeks since our appointment and my nails still have yet to chip or break. The polish still looks like we were in yesterday. My boyfriend let his technician choose the colour for his pedicure and we both loved how it made her day. The salon is also incredibly clean. Well definitely be going back as a regular couples date.

They seemed nice but they dont do acrylic nails, no where to park not even on the street and I could barely see their sign.

My first time at this nail salon and it was a wonderful experience. The nail techs were so kind & the environment was very clean and comfortable. My nails turned out gorgeous & they even stayed past close to finish my nails. I highly recommend!

Everyone was sweet. There was soothing relaxing music playing in the background. My nails held up surprisingly well after hours of rock climbing later that day. I got Shellac :)

I’ve been to Royalty twice now and have had a great experience both times. Very clean, professional, and friendly. Got a fabulous gel manicure and the $25 pedi includes hot stone, massage, and paraffin. Best nail salon I’ve been to in Portland!

Excellent service at very affordable prices.Got a gel manicure and basic pedicure - though the basic pedicure felt like a deluxe one with all the massages, etc. The nail tech did a great job of everything and everyone was very sweet. It was a speedy service but I didnt feel rushed. They really do pamper you. Please tip well!I typically only get my nails done for special occasions, but I will definitely come back to royalty next time!

I have been here several times and always leave happy!Thom does an excellent job and is consistently friendly and attentive. One of the thing I love about this place (besides being clean) is that they offer OPI and Pure gel polish- hard to find here in Portland nail salons-most offer shellac which doesn’t work as well on my nails.Now that I’ve found Skylar (Royalty Nails & Spa), I don’t go anywhere in Portland. :)

Stopped in for a pedicure with my daughter, and the service we received was absolutely phenomenal. The staff was very nice, the massage chairs were very relaxing, my toes looked gorgeous with beautifully painted flowers, and to top it off, we were able to sit and relax with a glass of wine while our toes dried. I highly recommend this salon if you’re looking for a great spa experience.

I was a late call appointmentat 630 the night before Thanksgiving. I was so grateful for the accommodation and friendly welcome. With Ann on the job I was able to relax, no loud TV or hard upselling. She gave me a lovely manicure, a generous glass of Chardonnay and I found a new salon. Im happy to recommend.

I was able to make an appointment on short notice to have some gel nails removed and a fresh regular manicure. Service was brief and efficient. My nails turned out well and it all took about 70 minutes from start to finish. The chairs are comfortable and the nail color selection is great.

Very kind staff, and very high standard of service. Excellent gel pedicure, with fabulous products and phenomenal massage. Best nail spa in the North Portland area. Easy to find parking, and relaxing, calm experience & vibe.Highly recommend to all of my closest friends & family. Will absolutely be returning for my next nail appointment!

Review №36

Overall place is very clean. Wasn’t satisfied with my service. Older lady did it and she did an awful job with applying the polish. I was in there for over an hour. She did do a careful job cleaning up my nails but a bit too slow. I went home and applied a few more layers of polish and it looked much better.ATM says no fee for withdrawing cash. You’ll be charged a $2.50 fee. Bring your own cash. I asked if they took care but she couldn’t understand me and said no.Not going back, I’ve been to better salons.

Review №38

The place is clean but they dont have a variety of nail polish colors. They charge $3 extra for the nice colors calling them long lasting and they arent. They have a nice policy, if your shellac nails chip within a week (which they will because they have very few skilled people), come back they will redo them. Except nobody will want to work on you and youll just wait until they decide to take cate of you.

Walked in on a Tuesday afternoon for a manicure. Prices are very reasonable, atmosphere is clean/ enjoyable, and they had lots of colors to pick form. I would definitely recommend this location to a friend, and will hopefully be back soon.

Walked in on a busy day without an appointment, and myself plus one other person in tow. They found space for us less than an hour out, got us side by side seats, and the nail tech was great! She was really engaging despite me being a dreadful conversationalist. Couldnt recommend this place more.

I had an older woman do my manicure and it was not good. She was really nice, but there are rough edges on my gel polish, it’s not completely covering my nail.. I usually do a better job.I’m bummed. I think this place is good, maybe you just have to find the right person to do your manicure.

Review №45

Wonderful! When I got there it was medium busy, so I was thankful for making my appointment (after I was seated, 4 other people came, 2 with appointments... definitely a wait). Theres no front counter, but that leaves more room for chairs. I did not realize I needed to bring my own kit (file and buffer), so I bought mine from them and am grateful for an upgrade to my current set at home. I got a shellac manicure. My manicurist was super gentle, even with old polish removal, and she applied a nice amount of polish (not extra thick coats) (1 coat of color and 2 coats of glitter). They offer beverages, so be sure to ask whats available. Will definitely return for another mani, but I look forward to a pedicure!

Royalty Nails provides great service at a good price! Tus customer service is hard to beat and her gel manicures and pedicures are the best in town. Its my go-to nail salon and it should be yours too!

Review №47

This place rips you off every chance they get. Nail lady sells you on a $2 nail kit bag you’re supposed to bring every time with you for sanitary and hygienic reasons. What is it? Just a slapped together less than dollar store quality of: nail board, buffer, and some other foam smoother buff. You have to buy it to continue with the service. I’m sorry, didn’t this cost 60 cents and you’re charging customers $2?! Some markup!There’s also a 50 cent charge for using your credit card to pay. Didn’t realize most common places still do that.Thus, never returning to this place. Quality of work is just ok too.

They were so nice and offered additional services for the pedicure option I selected which normally would have been an added cost at other places Ive been. This was my first time coming and from now on Ill be getting my pedicures here. Ive already told a few others about my experience.

I took my 6 year old daughter today for her first mani-pedi. This was my first visit but Im sure I will go back. Really sweet ladies and the quality of my pedicure was amazing - I am not sure if she hooked me up accidentally or not but I specifically requested the basic with callus removal pedicure but I got paraffin and hot stone massage as well, I was a little nervous I would get charged for it but I didnt. They have a menu of options to choose from with the prices. They do charge you $2 for the file and buffer which is annoying but not unheard of. I was really pleased with the kids option. It was $30 for a mani-pedi for her and they took it really seriously and treated her so well, it was a nice pampering for back-to-school. Her nails look really cute and they did little flowers on some of the nails which she loved. I had no problem paying with a card. Make sure you have plenty of time, I would say we were there an hour and a half which was fine today as we had time but seemed a bit lengthy.

This salon is my new go-to! I called on a Friday looking to book an appt for five of us on Saturday, they accommodated to within 30 minutes of my requested time. I called to let them know we were running 15 min late (hard to wrangle up five ladies to be on time) and they were still able to accommodate us without issue. They sat us all next to each other (Ive been to scheduled appts for just two at other shops where they didnt plan ahead to seat us together). The shop was very clean and sanitary (heads up, you either bring your own nail kit or pay $1 for a brand new kit they give to you at the end of appt) and great, laid back atmosphere. They even saw I was taking pictures of our gang and offered to take a group shot for us. We are all very pleased with our nails and have vowed to make it a regular date at this shop. Will be back for sure! Oh, and the price for services received seems very low. That may be the best part :-)

Review №56

Gets the job done -- but oh so well! Ive been searching for a place in North Portland, and this is it. Clean, efficient, friendly staff, and mani/pedis that are well done. The only drawback is that they dont have a ton of OPI non-shellac colors.They prefer cash to charge, FYI.

Review №57

No consultation, no one at the front desk, charged an extra $3 for a different -type- of the same brand of polish, $1 extra for a buffer and file that wasnt even used, 50¢ to use my card, silent as the grave, no conversation in the whole salon beyond directing the clients hands, clients not asked to wash or disinfect our hands, didnt see any techs wash or disinfect their hands, cant confirm if jars even contained real sanitizing solution or if any was used on tools, didnt give me even close to the complete service I booked–booked a full manicure with massage and got my fingers put in hot water with no soap or softener, polish slapped on, and left under a fan blowing freezing cold air on my hands while my tech took another client–didnt even put cuticle oil on correctly (dropped huge globs on my nails instead of my skin and didnt bother to rub it over my cuticles), and to top it all off...a terrible polish job.

Review №58

Last 3 times Ive had a manicure ive been very disappointed with the service! My Shelac manicure chipped within 1 week then the last time I had just a regular manicure I never received the massage. She put me under nail dryer walked away and never came back.Too bad because I had planned on taking a group there for a special occasion.
