Finger Bang

I have been going to Fingerbang for almost 4 years. I’ve always had the amazing luck to be able to be seen by the one and only Traze. What can I tell you about Traze: her imagination and creativity is unparalleled, she is kind and caring. She’s always ready to tackle any challenge you throw her way. If you decide to go to Fingerbang in Portland, ask for an appointment with Traze, you will not be disappointed. Prepare to get your nails rocked!

I’m sure this place is great if you’re in to elaborate designs and “loud” nails. I like it pretty plain and the prices are simply too high for the basic service in my opinion. The pedicure does not include hot towels or wax or anything special, yet is $75. They paint your toes dry at first and my feet were freezing cold for about 40 minutes and it did not feel pleasant. Massage afterward was extremely gentle and did not seem “extended.” And $65 for basic shellac on hands is again inflated for such a basic service. They do not have you soak your hands so again, very dry feeling and the cuticles do not get a proper cut because of it. No massage of arms after. I did enjoy their massage chairs, playlist, and the color selection was amazing as well. My tech was super nice and we had good laughs. Unfortunately, it is not enough for me to return.

I cannot say enough good things about this salon. I went here for my wedding manicure and pedicure and it was such a good experience. My wedding manicure was done by Jordan and she had the most incredible attention to detail not just in the art but in the prep of the nails. She is a nail technician that not only cares about the art but the longevity and health of your nails. She talks you through each step to ensure it is still something you are wanting and is so considerate of sensory needs. Jordan is also such a genuine human; talking to her feels like you've known her your whole life. She's a gem! I had my wedding pedicure by Khalia and she was the sweetest! She did a great job on the simple design I chose. The aura of this salon is like a family of your favorite humans in high school that always made you feel welcome no matter what. I highly recommend this salon, all in all just a great experience. Can't wait to be back soon!

I arrived at 10:50 am on 11/1/24 to Finger Bang for a gel removal appointment at 11. I don’t want to name names because I don’t think it’s relevant, and they know who is involved. My original tech was very late and by 11:20, the front desk asked me if I would want to see someone else, since my scheduled tech wasn’t responding to the shop’s calls. Already, I thought this was extremely unprofessional, especially considering the shops very extreme (but valid) zero tolerance policy regarding client cancellation and charging the full amount for any cancellation after 24hrs. What I should have said was, “I’ll just come back another time,” but naively I said “sure” thinking, what’s the harm, it’s a simple removal. After the removal, my new tech asked me if I wanted clear polish. I agreed, but didn’t realize until I needed to cure my nails that she had applied gel. At this point, it was past 12:30 and I had another appointment to get to at 1:30, so I didn’t have time to ask her to remove the gel. My new tech told me she was new to nails/the shop and, unfortunately, the gel on my left hand was very uneven and bubbled from leftover filed down gel remnants now encased in my nail. At a bit past 12:30, my original tech finally arrived to apologize for her lateness, because she had fallen asleep and her phone was dead. I would understand if it was an emergency, but it wasn’t and, again, knowing that the shop wouldn’t care and would charge me, even if I had an emergency and didn’t show, made me feel like I was left out to dry. The front desk gave me a $5 discount after I paid $45 and left to then be late for my next appointment, since I had now spent almost 3 hours for a simple removal and one coat of clear gel. I even made a second nail appointment at another salon that day because the gel was so poorly done I needed it off my nails. Overall, I feel more disappointed than anything, since up until this point, I had enjoyed my time at Finger Bang and thought the services I received was worth the price (since it is quite expensive), and I often shared my recommendations to others to book appointments here. Now, I’m not so sure I will recommend them or be back myself, which is a shame. Everyone involved, including the front desk (who didn’t need to apologize) were kind and apologetic, but given the circumstances, it was still extremely off putting as a customer and I still paid for a poor service that I ended up removing the same day. For future customers, I’d just recommend to either stick to your trusted tech or come here as a new client only with a friend’s specific recommendation.

This is my new favorite spot to get my nails done in Portland. Maria is great - so sweet and my nails came out perfect. Colton at the desk is also wonderful, very friendly and always has good color suggestions.

Super cool queer friendly place to get your nails done and just get to spend some pampering time. Always leave with fantastic nails and a rest soul!

Liliana gave me the best manicure ever. She was meticulous and precise. Super friendly and gentle experience. I got exactly what I asked for! The vibes are always so great at this nail art studio.

I love it here! I’ve been going to Linh and she’s phenomenal, but all the nail techs are incredibly talented and sweet. The prices are a bit more expensive, but the artists 100% are worth it. Also better prices means better pay, which means everyone working there is obviously happy to be there and loves their job. I recommend doing mystery art since you really get to let whoever’s doing your nails to show off their artistry. I also see a lot of bad reviews regarding their late/24hr cancellation policy, and to a certain extent I understand since it is pretty strict, but when making the appointment you explicitly agree to their policy… There’s no use complaining about it later even if you run into a frustrating situation. The artists deserve to be paid for their time.

Cannot recommend this place ENOUGH!! As someone with social anxiety who tends to feel shy at nail appointments and doesn't love to chat, I always get a bit nervous going to a new salon. But I felt immediately at ease here. The vibe, the amazing staff, and the service were all incredible. Lexxa was the artist who did my sculpted gel full set and she made me feel so comfortable right away. She helped me out every step of the way, from picking colors to discussing how to book my future appointments. She was also so chill with just sitting in silence, and I didn't feel anxious at all. Not to mention my nails are probably the prettiest ones I've ever gotten. 10/10

Read the cancellation terms carefully. I came here only because I found a nail tech artist I liked on Instagram and she happens to work here. Many nail tech works here. The experience and quality will depend on the nail tech. This is a large place with many nail techs. Limited parking, be prepared to park on the street. They all share the nail polishes and have their own set of tools. My nail tech didn't wipe my nails clean with alcohol after buffing it. She sprayed alcohol on a brush and merely swiped my nails a bit. I'm sure there were still bits of buffed nails left on my nails. It made me concern with the hygiene since there as so many nail techs and clients sharing the same pool of polish. I had nail art done on my own natural nails. It lasted a good 4-5 weeks before it started chipping off. The top coat was shiny and kept its shine during the duration. However from early on, I had small cracks - not large enough to peel/break off, and not visible with the light colors I have. It's because the gel is very hard gel, and where my natural nails bent, it cracked. I have very hard natural nails and I keep them short, and they do bend on the side with pressure. (Fake nails wouldn't have this problem.) I've had nail art gel done in other places and this is the first that resulted with these little cracks. Between the hygiene protocol and strict cancellation & tardiness policy that charges full amount, it's hard to say I'll come back.

Obsessed!!! Got new nails with Sam and I love them so much!!! She did an incredible job!! I found my new person!!! Love the shop!! So cute and fun!!

No question, best nails ever. Even a basic manicure and polish are incredibly good quality. They use a gentle machine to smooth the nail, and the artists have a good eye for detail. If you want nail art, they are ready to do lots of different fun designs.

Lilliana did so great on my nails! No one has ever taken the time and effort she put forth in my manicure today. Definitely worth the money and I will be back.

I've been coming here for about 6 months and have no complaints! I started with an Apres set and then transitioned to gel overlay once my natural nails were longer. Alyssa is my girl! She's always down to do fun designs and she's good at her job! I think a lot of the nail artists book out a few weeks so make sure to pre schedule your appointments (especially if you need a specific date or are looking for a specific artist). Plan to arrive early just in case the train or traffic get ya! *edit, I don't know why my post updated, lol.

A friend told me about this inclusive nail salon and I immediately booked an appointment for a friend and me. I really enjoy getting my nails done but hate the regular misgendering and questions about when I'm going to get married. Gross. I didn't experience that her My friend arrived at our appointment time, and were warmly greeted upon walking in. We were given the swatches and the manicurists came out to greet us and get an idea of what we wanted. I wasn't sure, but initially, I requested simple art of green sparkly nails with lil black hearts. However, upon sitting at Paige's area, I saw their cute blob frogs on one of their samples and that's what we ended up doing. Paige was super meticulous and took good care of my poor cuticles. They patiently answered my questions about mail care and we shared easy conversation. The whole process went from 11:15-12:30 pm. . I really enjoyed my experience at Finger Bang and look forward to recommending it to loved ones. My friend also really enjoyed their experience, so A+ all around

My experience here was phenomenal!! Booking: I had to book an appointment for my gel nails with elaborate art at fingerbang a few weeks prior to get the technician that I wanted (which is very typical with high end nail techs). The tech I chose to go to, Camille "CC" reached out prior to my appointment and asked what type of design/art I was thinking about. When I said I wanted animal crossing themed nails she happily agreed! (You can book appointments/talk about ideas with her through her instagram: @camilledoesnails) Service: I walked in about 10 minutes early to my 4 pm appointment and was immediately greeted by the receptionist. A few minutes later Camille came out and told me she was finishing up an appointment and would be with me in a few minutes. We started at approximately 4:15 and the entire set took approximately 3 hours. Nail Tech: Camille was an outstanding technician. Not only was she meticulous but she had a warm and energetic personality that instantly made me feel welcome at a studio I had never been to before. She also made sure to ask me details about the art I wanted, like if there were any particular characters or color scheme I was going for before starting. I really appreciated how she tried to understand what I was envisioning instead of just jumping in, so we were on the same page the entire time. Quality: I was amazed at the level of intricacy Camille was able to paint on my small small nails. (I'm a nurse and very active so I can't have long nails) See photos attached. Overall, I was very impressed with the level of service and professionalism at this salon from the moment I walked in. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get their nails done in Portland! (And if you're booking with a specific tech make sure to do so ASAP! They fill up fast!)

Although ownership and stuff has changed, the "vibe" of Finger Bang is alive and well! I have hesitated coming back here after my favorite artist left. However I had the time and my toes were demanding a makeover, so I booked a gel pedicure today with Irene, who was absolutely awesome. I really appreciated how Irene was right on time for my appointment, also she was friendly and welcoming! My gel pedicure was HEAVEN- especially as it's been an embarrassingly long time since my last one. Irene was super chill and checked in on me often! The process took about 55 minutes and $50 for a gel pedicure (not including tip). Because I had such a great experience here, I think I'm comfortable I'm ready to come back here again in the future!

Service: sculpted gels with ombré French tips and rose gold glitter on the underneath. Tiffany has been working with me the last couple of months to get my nails back to a healthy state after a not so great nail job (done by my nephew) kind of left my nails a little recked. I'm really thankful for the communication and understanding to work with my nails and particular issues. I also appreciate, as someone who is neurodivergent, I don't feel awkward because I'm not great with the small talk but they get it when I say I want my nails to look like a spring time vampire

My 5 star review is based on Tiffany M's work of quality nails and outstanding creative nail art and not on Fingerbang itself. Tiffany M is my go to nail tech. When she joined Fingerbang....I followed. She has amazing nail technique with the skill and knowledge to give you solid, quality nails. It is hard to find anyone to do detailed, creative and quality nail art...yet Tiffany has delivered every single time! She has years of experience and it shows. I won't let anyone else do my nails. She has excellent customer service and is always up on the latest nail trends to keep you in style. The salon is unique, clean and friendly. With this crazy pandemic they are following all the protocols to keep us and themselves safe while still providing a service that we can feel pampered and continue with self care while still supporting our favorite nail tech.

Please go with Laura at Finger Bang! She is so talented! Every time I get my nails done with her my nails are beautiful and strong! The service I get is the overlay gel and my nails are so strong and grow so long! People ask me if they are fake nails and how they are so thin? Nope! They are my nails and they are gorgeous I'm so obsessed and my mom that is the pickiest person loves Laura's work (she also goes with her) - everyone deserves to have the best and that's Laura

Fabulous experience! My friend and I booked an appointment to treat ourselves to post-work pedicures and will definitely be returning. The salon is very welcoming, clean and the staff kind. The level of attention to detail, knowledge of the nail techs and care for client satisfaction is above your standard nail salon. We had a great experience!

I went to Finger Bang last week on a Saturday evening with 2 of my girlfriends. They informed us we needed to arrive early because we had gel on but then didn't start our appointment til the actual appointment time which was confusing. The check in person was very nice though but we were still confused a bit. We got settled in and got our toes done. It was really fun. The techs were kind and had clean stations. The location was very clean and followed social distancing protocols with staff wearing masks. They did a nice job on my toes as well. We had a good time chatting and being pampered. I would go back again possibly but the prices even with a group discount were very high.

This was my first time getting my nails done here and Adrianne (sp?) did a fantastic job! A lot of care was taken to remove my existing gel and in helping me choose a new nail color. I really liked the bright atmosphere with large windows and high ceilings. It was a great experience and I love my nails!

I absolutely love this salon. The setting is bright, welcoming, and comfortable. I wanted some fun, creative nail art for my birthday/St Patrick's Day, and my nail artist Elvi did an amazing job. I could not be happier with how they turned out.

I came to this location because I'm big on nail art. Each time I come in I show my tech a plethora of nail art images I like and kinda let her choose what she's feeling the most from those. I love that the tech is willing to go for it even when I don't really know what I want! I've been pleased with the art each time. I'm also licensed to do nails and am very adamant about cleanliness and expect a thorough job and I'm never disappointed here. I have never arrived late or missed my appointment and that seems to be the reason for most the negative reviews so if you can show up on time expect to love your experience. They're very clear about their policy when you book so I'm not sure why anyone's surprised at being charged.

Finger Bang is a special kind of nail salon. The techs are all artists who treat your nails like they are tiny canvases. Linh and Camille are both amazing! They are professional, knowledgeable about their craft and personable/genuinely fun people to be around. This is more than a salon - it is a community! Thanks to these women my nails are healthy and beautiful. You need to book your appointment in advance and you need to be a decent human. You will never leave with a wound... regrettable my this stands out in my personal experience. FB takes their time and does the job right! I have been a regular for over a year and I would rather die than get my nails done anywhere else.

Save up your coin and go here. It's so worth it. I wanted to have special nail art done before I was heading out of state to MC my beloved maternal grandma's celebration of life. I wanted to look nice when I saw all our family for the first time in years - and some family and friends I hadn't seen in decades. This was my first visit, and Ioved it! I scheduled two appointments online through Schedulicity. One for me and one for mom. I did the mystery gel mani ($65) and mom did single color gel ($45). Our manis lasted WAY longer than any of the other spots we tried. The artists are all on IG so you can see different nail art ideas and their work is amazing. They are always so busy that I had a hard time getting an appointment in so the online reservation service is clearly necessary. I only wish there were more availability for appointments (they're booked weeks in advance so you have to REALLY plan) and that there was a shop in SW suburbs too.

Came here because I heard really great reviews. Asked for a white ombré for my wedding nails and it looked so bad. My Nail lady didn't even fix it she had the front person staff fix it who I don't think has the experience or license yet. I came out and there were white residue under my nails and I tried to be calm and professional but I never had such a bad experience before so I asked for my money back. The redo was bad also.

DO NOT GO HERE. If you're an ordinary person who just wants a good set of nails, no amount of money is worth giving Finger Bang your business - trust me. To say they are anarchic is putting it mildly. The level of discrimination is horrific. I'd been going there for months, rarely talking except occasionally to my tech - I usually just plugged into a movie on my iPad. I chose nail art like the Texas state logo on one nail before my trip to Dallas; another time I had an American flag on one nail, a thin blue line on another. Not long after that, I got a call from Wendy, the owner, saying they weren't comfortable with me there and she'd cancelled my future appointments! You don't know me, but I'm kind and personable, I enjoy new situations and new people. I'm the antithesis of a loud-mouth, aggressive woman! I was floored....until I figured out why. My choice of nail art was "offensive". Wendy tried to tell me I had said things I absolutely had not, and acted in ways I've never known anyone personally to act. She even said they were offended when I said to a gentleman in there how nice his nails looked. I did say that! SHE said I shouldn't have spoken to him at all, that they value their non-binary and trans clients. (He looked like a nice man with nice nails to me....‍) and he was pleasantly responsive. There's not nearly enough room to fill in the utter nonsense she tried to fill me with or how it affected me. Apparently I'm not "woke" enough, my nail art was somehow offensive....good grief. Anyway, if you decide to try Finger Bang, good luck. It's extremely expensive and if they could do this to ME, no one is safe from judgment and discrimination. Thanks for reading. Lots of places do a superb job with Apres X nail systems! You're not stuck with this horrible place.

Everyone who works here is so kind and have amazing skills. Fun environment as well and easy to schedule online.

My gel manicure chipped within a week. For the price (~ $65 for a plain gel manicure) I would expect the set to last at least 2 weeks. Also the staff was unfriendly, reluctant to make conversation, engage, or make the experience in any way enjoyable. Don't waste your money.

My fiancée used to love coming here because they're one of the only places in the area doing sculpted gel nails, and they did some good work. Unfortunately, after 2 years of being okay they got shady -- screwed up the appointment time in the reminder in order to charge the ~$150 no-show fee, etc. The really fun bit was finding out it wasn't just us they'd done it to. We won't be back. CLARIFICATION: no attempt was made to work with us, we were simply told that we were on the notification list, it was simply "unfortunate," and that there was no time today. The whole exchange lasted less than a minute, and felt pretty scammy, especially after being loyal customers for years and literally thousands of dollars. UPDATE: a worker we saw at the salon messaged privately to tell my fiancée how hurtful it was that she'd posted a negative review about the experience with the company (on her personal Instagram account) about her experience. That part was just an extra upsetting component. Our issue is with the management and their patterns of behavior, not any of the artists working there. (All of whom deserve better management.)

I've been getting my nails done here for the past few months, and Finger Bang does good work. Tiff and Elvi are my go-to people. They are both efficient, friendly, and easy to talk to, which is a big deal when you're sitting in a chair with them for 1.5+ hours. My most recent set was done by Elvi and I was very pleased with both the quality and the speed. I took this set on vacation for a week, then got COVID when I got back, and my nails still look flawless. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars: sometimes, you have to wait a long time for your scheduled appointment. This hasn't happened to me recently, but I came here a few times last year and needed to wait 20-30 minutes past my scheduled appointment time because my person got stuck doing some intricate nail art on someone else. I checked in, and was just left waiting there with no communication or explanation from anyone. It would've been nice to at least get periodic updates while I was waiting. I was just sitting there, wondering if they forgot about me or something. The quality of work is easily 5 stars though, and that matters the most!

I started following Libby Lux on Instagram (@libby666lux) a couple months ago and LOVE her work (and her band ). So when I found out I would be in Portland for business I decided to book an appointment with her to get my nails done. I saw a pic of one of her designs on Instagram that I really liked, so I commented to ask what kind of manicure it was, so I would know what kind of appointment to make. She replied quickly and told me what I needed to know. When I got there the person who greeted me was really nice. Libby was on time for our appointment and was super nice. The two nail artists on either side of us were also nice. Conversation flowed nicely between them, me, and the other two clients next to me. It made the experience a lot of fun. Libby asked what I like color and design-wise, and I said pink, sparkly, unicorns, and skulls. She said "How about a unicorn skull?" I was like yessssssssss! Then she pulled out some fab colors and sparkles and rocked my nails OUT! She drew a unicorn skull free-hand on one of my nails - totally intricately detailed. When she was done I was AMAZED and so pleased. I've never had a gel manicure before and had no idea they could last this long! It is now four weeks later and my manicure is almost perfect still. I wish I could afford to fly to Portland regularly to get my nails done by Libby Lux at Finger Bang. Now I am addicted to this manicure lifestyle, and I am nervous about finding someone in the bay area who comes close to this level of excellence in nail art. So much fangirl LOVE to Libby!

Obsessed with my nails. Plus this whole location is really cute inside, staff was friendly, and Laura did a perfect job on my nails and she was really sweet. Can't wait to go back

Extremely disappointed who gives a reminder 3 days before. They sent a reminder email 3 days ahead of time. I am getting married on Sat and just got a call I missed my appointment and I will also be charged 45 dollars for missing my appointment. Yes I missed it my responsibility but who does reminders 3 days ahead I just find this to be terrible customer service and business Won't ever go back. You guys got your 45 dollars from me and that's it. One time customer only

Luna!!!! Is incredible! Luna always makes my nail dream come true! Any picture you bring her, she can draw with polish on your nails right in front of you! It's magical. Yes, it's almost $100 with tip every time for a custom art gel manicure..but it lasts almost 4 weeks...and it's usually the coolest manicure I've ever seen..so it's worth it! Book your appointment with Luna now! Update: Luna gave me the most INCREDIBLE Beyoncé nails!! she hand made the water decals she put on my nails!! And the shape is PERFECT!! I won't let anyone other than Luna touch my nails!

Very disappointed in my last trip here. I have been a few times before, had a great experience, beautiful long-lasting nail art. This trip 1 week ago was NOT that same experience, rude staff (Molly especially), nail art was not up to par and my manicure has already chipped on several nails. Sadly I will probably never come back and spend another $300 when I could go down the street, get better service and a better manicure for half the price.

I fell in love with Finger Bang on Instagram, and on recent trip to Portland was finally able to snag an appointment with one of my favorite artists, Sarah Kane (IG: TopKnotNails). Y'all... I was in HEAVEN! I absolutely LOVE nail art and this place was my nirvana. The service is amazing and all of the artists are extremely talented. I'd suggest stalking their IG to find the artist who specializes in the style you'd like to get done. If you're feeling adventurous, opt for the "dealers choice" mani, which is gel polish and relatively simple art that is chosen by the artist.

I literally don't think I can express how excited I was to have my first appointment at Finger Bang today with Asa! I had been planning this for months, and today was the day! I love the facility and it's open-minded, friendly and unique atmosphere. The parking was tough- parked around the corner in a lot that I found tucked away. Everyone from the receptionist to the other nail techs were so wonderful and kind. Asa did my nails and she was quite literally one of the friendliest people I have ever met. I felt like I was talking to one of my best friends! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I told her I have some special events coming up but that she had free reign over my nails. She did NOT disappoint. I had no expectations going in to the salon, but whatever thoughts I had in my head were blown away with how fantastic she did!! I love my nails, I was treated like a queen, and I had the most fun I have ever had at a nail appointment, ever!! I can honestly say that I am so, so, so excited to come back in the future! Thank you to everyone at Finger Bang!!

TERRIBLE I very rarely leave bad reviews. The manager of this location made for a terrible experience. I wish I didnt have to leave this review but she was so aggressive I don't want anyone else to have this experience. She was confrontational our first conversation. My appointment for a mani pedi was at 1:45pm on a Saturday. At 1:30, I called to say I was in stuck in traffic and would be 10 minutes late. She said that was "on the border" and that I could not be more than 10 minutes late. When I arrived at 1:53, she was again confrontational, unfriendly and unwelcoming. My technician said she could no longer provide a manicure and pedicure and that I had to choose one or the other. The technician was also unwelcoming and unfriendly. It was really strange how aggressive and hardline they were. Exactly the opposite of a relaxing or fun experience. There was no music playing and my technician seemed inexperienced and fumbling. Such a big disappointment.

While visiting Portland I made sure I could stop at this spot and get my nails done. I got lucky I could get an appointment short notice. They had openings for gel manicures. If you want an acrylic set I recommend booking out a little further if you want your nails done a certain way for an occasion. Grayce was my nail artist/technician and she did an amazing job! Even better than what I pictured! I wanted a nice Valentines look since it's my favorite holiday and I told her what colors I loved and what designs I wanted and told her she can do them in whatever order she wants and also add her input for what would be nice. We had some nails with a glossy shine finish and some with matte and I liked how she suggested mixing textures. I LOVE how it came out so much. She has so much attention to detail and really takes her time making your nails perfect. If I lived in town I would be a regular, but I plan on coming back every time I'm in town. Next time I'll try the mystery manicure ;) Spacious and nicely decorated shop and they're located around a lot of good food spots too.

This was my 2nd time getting nails done here, but my first time with Asa and she is every bit as amazing as her reputation led me to believe. I came to her and said pink and floral- she dreamed up this masterpiece from there. I live in Renton and it's a 2.5 hour drive but I'll keep coming all the way out here just for Asa. (Also, my nails in the pic are about 3 weeks old and they still look amazing!)

I was so excited to schedule here! I booked an appointment for myself and a family member in hopes to come in and experience this nail shop. Unfortunately my child displayed ill symptoms with a high fever when leaving for my appointment so of course I had to miss my appointment and tend to my infant immediately. Because my child's symptoms did not show up within their cancellation policy time frame, I got charged for $200 worth of work I did not have done. I called very apologetic to explain what was taking place and was told "oh well, you didn't show". When stressing my concern with how this unfortunate situation was handled I was told the owner would be calling me to see if there was anything that could be done. The owner never called! I'm following the law and guidelines made to protect everyone and being punished for it. Poor business ethic!!!!

This really breaks my heart to write as this place used to be my all time favorite nail place - I have been a regular customer here every two weeks for over 2 years, because they're one of the only places in town that does hand sculptured gel extensions. I've literally spent thousands at their salon. I think maybe ownership changed (and I want to be clear the nail artists I worked with are great it's the ownership that's awful). I should've given up a few months ago when, despite never having missed a single appointment, I had a sudden death of a close family member and had to cancel my appointment. I explained the situation and they still charged me $100+ for the missed appointment. I was literally at my aunts funeral sorry she didn't die in time to get the free cancellation- how heartless they were. The final straw was today though, when I showed up for my 5:30 appointment only to be told it was actually 5pm - the front desk lady was extremely rude and told me it was my fault (my appointment said 530!) and too bad so sad they were charging me. What a great business plan - take peoples money and get out of doing the work! I felt like I got scammed and they were rude to boot, so never going back again. I truly feel bad because both artists I worked with are lovely and talented and deserve better salon management.

This review is for last June: Made two appointment, both got cancelled / rescheduled at the last minute. Finally we settled on a 9pm appointment for a mani pedi. I got there at 9, the technician said she had tried to call me to reschedule (yet again) for 10pm. I was frustrated but what are you going to do - I went and got a coffee next door (I was not offered a drink) and came back with coffee and a book to read. No one talked to me between 930-11pm. I was honestly in shock and in retrospect can't believe I waited that long. I anticipated some kind of acknowledgement or reconciliation, but when she didn't even acknowledge that she had me waiting for TWO HOURS I told her I wasn't interested anymore. When I spoke to the manager a week later she offered me 15% off. 15%?!!!! For 2+ hours of my time? No, thanks.

I love Finger Bang!!! Every time I've gone the super talented and friendly nail artists have come up with the most creative designs out of my loose ideas that I bring them. I get apres gel extensions and they last so long! Anywhere from 6-8 weeks before one falls of or I get them removed. The polish never chips or looks dull either. Thank you for providing the most amazing nails, great conversations, and cold snacks. You all are the best!

Worst customer service ever! Used the app to make an appt. Showed up, come to find out I was booked out 2 month. Ok fine, that's my mistake. Rescheduled. Showed up and someone moved my appt 30 min before, or the girl gave me the wrong time initially. I had booked a fill and pedicure. They only offered my pedicure since I was "late" I said I would prefer to do my fill and skip my pedi. No willingness to work with me. The girls had such poor customer service! And there was no call after my time had past. My wax salon calls after 5 min to verify you are on your way! I've had terrible nail experiences since moving to Portland! Where are the little Asian nail spots? At least my people know how to treat customers Honaay!

Love my Finger Bang visits! The staff is very talented and the artwork is worth the price and time you spend there. You are getting what you pay for-nail art that is detailed and well thought out, and beautiful! I switch off between seeing Alec and Candace based on their schedules and love getting my nails done by both. I've brought in ideas, pictures and jewelry pieces for inspiration, and have always been in the love with the end result! It's such a treat coming here and I always look forward to it- I would definitely recommend!

I have been waiting for 45 minutes. They clearly have schedule problems. 1st person had child care issues, 2nd person tried to fit me into the schedule. Not sure what front desk was thinking? Work was good, not worth $70.

I came all the way from Phoenix, AZ specifically to visit this Finger Bang location and it was incredible to say the least. I only got a one color gel mani with minimal art and I'm so bummed I was too busy to snap a photo of it. I've made it a point to try to visit all the boutique nail shops that are similar to my own and here is what I've learned so far about the experience: Clients need to be accountable for their appointment times. If you're running late, just call! Salons don't have to check up on you to see if you're on your way. That is YOUR responsibility as an adult. If you end up arriving after your scheduled time spot, accept the fact that only a portion of what you booked for can be done. You get what you pay for. Finger Bang is a boutique art space, therefore time and money will be spent. If you don't like it then find a walk-in shop that will better suit your budget. Art spaces like Finger Bang are known for their precision cuticle care which makes whatever product on your nails last longer while giving you a much prettier mani overall. Again, this takes time and is what separates nail "boutiques" from speed driven walk-in shops. Muriel M. - I'm sorry but you sound incredibly ignorant asking for an "Asian" shop. It's called a "walk-in". Your little "honayy" reference at the end isn't cute either. It's a stereotype and Yelp should know better than to post reviews as dumb sounding as yours. By the way, if you're a horror fan like me, you'll love the movies they play while you're receiving your service.

This place is amazing and worth every damn penny. I went here for my first time a month and half ago. I worked with Luna who put in all the detail and care into my nails that I could have asked for! She is incredibly talented (let's be honest everyone there is stupid talented) and I really appreciated all the work she put into my nails. Also can I just say these suckers are STURDY I'm almost on two months without a fill (I know shame on me) and they are still riding and I still get compliments on them every damn day!

My pedicure with Tiffany was phenomenal! She was very friendly and good at handling my ticklishness.

I have been coming to Finger Bang at least once a month for almost two years. All of the nail artists, receptionists, and management that I have interacted with are professional, friendly, and welcoming. Although I have had my nails manicured by other talented artists, I most consistently book with Tiff. L. She has helped me to grow my bitten stubs into long, beautiful, strong fingernails! If you have ever been to Finger Bang, it is evident that every staff member strives to not only deliver elevated results to satisfied customers, but to cultivate an inclusive, safe, and fun salon space. Always a good time at Finger Bang! Make sure you book a Mystery Mani at least once, you will not be disappointed!

the staff was very kind but the result wasn't what i was expecting .. i got a pedicure (the higher end one with a long massage with gel) after i left i noticed how everything was very uneven. i think she forgot to put clear top coat on my right foot it looks almost matte compared to my left food and feels different to the touch (not smooth). i will not be coming here again unfortunately my first and last time. these toes are 3 days old. looks like i had this done about a month ago with how uneven and far out my nail polish goes to. cuticles weren't pushed back at all.

I have bitten my nails my whole life. Grayce helped me grow them out with the best gel manicures in the world!!!

I tried @fingerbangportland for the first time last night and let's just say it was beyond (and totally worth the month long wait). Besides the stunning nail art by @artbynmvm (I mean my nails are my personality) the entire staff was super friendly and helpful. I got asked at least five times I wanted something to drink. Talk about service! I walked in having no clue about what the difference between hard gel and acrylic was and Natalie explained all my options and was super helpful in answering all my questions. I cannot wait to go back!!
