Ever collapsed in a comfortable chair after a day's work and dream of being treated like royalty - someone to massage your feet and hands and pamper you as only you deserve? This writer found herself in that comfortable chair recently. After planning and carrying out a wedding I found myself exhausted when it was over.
Shellac applies like polish and removal is just 10 minutes! No filing. No Drills. It is a nail polish hybrid in a gel-like form. There is no need to "rough up" the natural nails for application, Shellac is UV cured, so there's zero dry-time. It's thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural-it provides strong natural nail protection.

Worst manicure I've ever had. First she took my old shellac polish off and the experience was really rough. She even nicked my cuticle once. Once she drilled off all the shellac the dust was all over the place and instead of washing, cleaning or prepping my nails she just slapped a base coat over all the nasty dust. Then immediately just dipped my fingers in a jar that's probably been dipped into bunches of times with the same nasty unclean hands procedure. Gross!

There wasn't a towel to wipe my hands on either. Anyways, she just kept slapping on coat after coat of the dip product in a speedy, imprecise way and once she even messed up one of the nail by smudging it and just put another coat on. The end result is a lumpy, thick awful feeling manicure. There was no cuticle oil, lotion, massage, or even cuticle clip and she skipped any real nail prep. Terrible terrible! Don't go here! The whole experience cost me $50 too, never again.

I had a wonderful nail technician today. She massages my feet and arms so nicely. I love my nails polish. She did a great job. I highly recommend this nails shop.

Everything was going fine but then I was called into work and had to end my pedicure. So at this point she clipped my toe nails and buffed them and got them clean up and my nail polish on, but I had to go before the pedicure was over due to like I said being called into work. I was still charged full price! I'm like I have been here for 15 mins your going to charge me 50 bucks.

I will not be returning! I feel it's very rude to charge someone full price for half the work. I was supposed to get a deluxe pedicure I literally just got my toes painted for 45 dollars

We went into this nail salon and the first thing we did was asked if the could do the design from the pictures we showed them the nail tech we had said she could. After she was finished with both sets of our nails we were left with crooked, uneven and designs that looked nothing like the pictures we showed them, that they said they could do. She took $10 off the already expensive nails when we were leaving because she knew she couldn't do the design but continued to do it anyways.

The nail tech that we had was unprofessional and didn't accommodate us when we shared to her our concerns with her. If you want to get your nails professionally done be very wary of this place because you may not get what you were expecting.

Before all the corona happen, I came in to get my nails done and they turned out fantastic. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a relaxing and professional nail technician to do their nails. After all the corona is over or whenever they are open, I am definitely coming back here to get my nails done.

Not my favorite nail experience. Was very rushed and day two of my gel acrylic nails the gel is peeling off with wet nail polish underneath which is leaking out all over. So I'm getting them re done somewhere else. Shape was not ideal either. Very wide and uneven. Wish I could post photos

The hand, neck and foot massages were awesome. Pedicure still looks great about three weeks later. Wonderfully thoughtful care and services.

My favorite place to come to get a pedicure. Great service and the ladies are so friendly and fun. The deluxe pedi is a real treat and the best massage. My whole family, including my husband and son, feel welcome and are hooked on the pampering.

Great salon with friendly nail techs! They did a wonderful job on my back fill and pedicure. And they do dip powder nails! I just got a basic pedicure which included a long massage and the hot wax which I loved as that's usually a deluxe service. Also I stubbed my toe on a door and broke my whole toenail off and they used acrylic to fix it, it looks seamless and perfect right before I have to be in a wedding! This is my go-to place! My only suggestion may be doing nails and toes at the same time and some wine or champagne offered would be lovely. Thank you Dola I will be back!

The five stars really describe Dola Nails, it truly is as good as it gets. I have been to many nail salons around the country and this one is truly in a class by itself. Everyone who works there has worked on my hands and feet and I have never been dissatisfied. It's not just the great work that they do, but without exception they are so kind that you can't leave without feeling better than when you arrived. They truly have spoiled me to the point that when I'm on vacation and have to go elsewhere it's never as good.

I can't say enough good things about the salon! The ladies will always fit you win even when they are jampacked. Not only are they excellent at what they do, but they are also efficient and very fast. If you're on a time schedule they will get it done no problem 100%. I highly recommend the salon for any nail service you might need. Last minute or scheduled ahead of time. They also give the best massages and have all of the popular shellac colors.

As pedicures go, not so good. Kinda like they were doing me favor. Went through the motions but no real attention given. Will not be returning.

My two daughters got their eyebrows waxed here and they were embarrassingly uneven. They were terribly done and they didn't even try to fix it. I would absolutely not recommend this place.

I love this salon. I've gone to so many nail places, and this is by far the best. I agree that it's cold as hell inside, but the techs are so awesome and friendly! They will do literally ANY design you may find on pinterest and their shellac lasts for weeks. I always get compliments on my nails when I go there. I had to move out of the area to Gresham and I still make the trip all the way to LO just to get my nails done. Also, one day I brought my two year old son into the salon with me and he really loved getting his nails painted, so they gave him a mani-pedi and played with him.for free. I love this place.

Stingy on nail polish. My lady could care less I was there thankfully another lady helped me after the 2nd time of my toes not being done. Correctly. Got in the car noticed 1 of my toes wasn't even painted all the way. Won't be going back there.

I have to admit, based on the reviews I was hesitant. But I manage a business with amazing staff and we have had our share of unhappy customers I was greeted by an older lady. She didn't hesitate when I asked her if she could do a walk in pedicure 45 min before closing. A young men took over and I have to tell you, from beginning to end, including the relaxing fusion of music, anytime I'm Lake Oswego, I will come!

I expected much better quality and service from this Lake Oswego business. I went with my sister, mom, and niece for deluxe pedicures. Because it was four people, we called ahead to confirm that they could accommodate us. When we arrived I saw lots of the polish bottles were low and cruddy. I ended up paying an extra $5 for an OPI lacquer with extra shine just to get polish from a new-looking bottle.

I had a decent, but nothing special, massage and pedicure. At $40, though, it was the most I've ever paid in Lake Oswego for a comparable service. Overall, though, the Dola experience for the 4 of us was sub-optimal. The technicians were not at all friendly, the salon was uncomfortably warm, and the massage chair massaged my head instead of my neck.

The woman performing my pedicure had no interest in adjusting the temperature or helping to fix the massage chair settings. On top of this, my niece pointed out that her technician was talking on her phone while massaging with only one hand. One by one we noticed and watched (including my own nail tech) as the technician attempted to massage and talk on the phone at the same time. Finally, the tech saw us all watching and finally hung up, saying nothing to my niece nor offering to add time to compensate. Then, one by one our feet were placed in burning hot paraffin.

One by one we asked that it be cooled. No apology or concern from any of the techs. I was the first to receive the extra hot treatment, and I have to say I like heat on my feet! The water is almost never hot enough for me, so I'm not just being a baby about the temperature of the paraffin. This was over-the-top hot. And, I understand the mistake being made once.

But for each technician to do the same 3 more times.? Later, my mom realized her feet weren't exfoliated and asked about it. Her tech blamed it on her, saying it was because she didn't bring her own tool, though the tech didn't ask or offer to provide one. Turns out my sister and my niece were missing their exfoliation tools too, but their techs provided them with new ones.

When we were all polished, we were abandoned for other customers. Finally I started looking around for someone to come pull our separators and collect payment. At the same time, my niece and sister noticed their poor polish jobs. A technician claimed to fix a chip in my nieces polish, then disappeared again. But the nail was still chipped! Same for my sister.

In the end, we just wanted to get out of this hot, terrible salon. To summarize, here's what the 4 of us received: 2 ok pedicures 2 bad pedicures-- my niece's one-handed massage + the skipped exfoliation on my mom. 1 ok polish-- mine 3 terrible polishes-- and the techs didn't care about fixing them. All for $40 each, not including tip. What a disappointment. There are several salons in Lake Oswego that do much better pedicures/polishes. Go to one of those salons. Do not go to Dola!

I made an appointment yesterday for a manicure and was HUGELY disappointed in the service! As I sit here writing this review I'm mad I even had to pay for the disaster that happened. 5 minutes into my manicure a regular customer of the woman doing my nails walked in and requested a manicure. Hey sat her two tables down and my manicurist left me sitting to start her regular customer's (who DID NOT have an appointment) nails.

While she was soaking her nails they rushed through my manicure, skipping my massage completely! and did a half-ass paint job. The paint then fired with bubbles and a sand paper texture (maybe because they let me sit 10 minutes between coats so she could attend to the other customer). I asked why I didn't get a massage and they said they thought I had gotten one, didn't offer to do a massage, and I had to ask to have my nails repainted!

Which looked like sand paper the second time, so they had to be repainted a third time! This entire experience took and hour and a half! All because I was left to sit while the "more important" customer was taken care of. In the end I asked for a discount, since I only got half a manicure, which the begrudgingly gave me. In hindsight I cannot believe they had me pay at all! I WILL NEVER GO BACK! What horrible customer service!

They fit two of us in right away for both manicure and pedicure. Everywhere else was booked up but this is a larger space with many technicians. Nice and friendly, not too much up selling. The basic pedicure had a very nice and long leg massage and parafin dip. Prices are average, end result meets expectations. We will come back again, good place to have on stand by for those emergency spa needs!

The women are very nice, the decor and furniture is great quality, and they take care of their customer. For the price, they give you much more than competitors! Love it!

This used to be the best place in town. There was a guy named Billy running it. It was clean, friendly, and always full. I recently returned and have been disappointed. First of all, the place is dirty. No surface is free of nail dust, bits of nails, and nothing looks clean. The manicurist talked the whole time to the woman twenty feet away, but right in my face, which felt rude because it was so loud.

I had a shellac manicure. She opened the drawer, looked at various tools, and used them without having cleaned them. When I said something she wiped it with alcohol, but pulled other tools out and used them. When she finished she put them all back in the drawer for the next person. Two days later and my cuticle is inflamed and sore. I guess I won't go back.

Wanting to treat myself this weekend, I stopped into this newish nail salon for a manicure. The place is pretty gorgeous with big plush looking pedicure chairs, a wraparound bar with great ventilation for those getting acrylic nail treatments, a cool wall fountain and just a really classy vibe about the whole place. It whispers pampering. I was seated right away and had a really great manicure from a super friendly woman named Helen.

She was talkative and open without being obnoxious. I could probably get a manicure pretty much anywhere in the area for less than the $14 charged, but it was nice to have a conversation with someone while they worked on my nails. They don't take credit cards here so make sure you have cash. The pedicure chairs were calling my name this morning, but I'll save that for another day of pampering.

With my busy schedule, unfortunately my little piggies are often neglected and so most of my nail appointments are spur of the moment. Thats why Dola is one of my favorites. never have I had an issue getting in for a mani or a pedi with as little as 30 minutes notice. The staff is very friendly and their prices can't be beat for the treatment one receives. $25 for a 40 minute pedi. Doesn't get to much better than that! To top it off you are welcome to bring in you "special beverage" of choice and enjoy it as you relax and get pampered. I just wish it was closer to home!
