Nails by Blasian Bae

Nails by Blasian Bae is a nail salon on NW 18th Avenue in Portland. Its services are grouped into Popular Services and Other Services on its Booksy listing, covering gel finishes, sculpted nail work, extensions, pedicures and nail art.

Sculpted Elegance suits clients who want to grow or maintain natural length. A visit includes a consultation, a trim, shaping, e-file cuticle cleanup, hard gel and one color. Existing clients pay $85 for about 1 hour 30 minutes, and new clients pay $95 for about 1 hour 50 minutes. The service does not cover foreign removals or nail art, so an existing client who wants a removal and a new application needs to book as a new client.

For pedicures, Essence of Soak is a traditional service with trimming, shaping, cuticle cleanup, a bath soak, sugar scrub, a jelly spa bath, a mud mask, hot towels and one color, taking about an hour for $55. Sole Sculpted Pedicure is a waterless option that uses an e-file for cuticles and adds callus removal, sugar scrub, a foot mask, hot towels, one color and Foot Logix products, for $70 in about 1 hour 15 minutes. Clean Edit, at $45 for 30 minutes, is a trim, shaping and cuticle cleanup for clients who want no polish, a clear coat or regular polish.

Gel extensions use lightweight nail tips blended and covered with rubber base. Nail art is available but must be added when booking so there is enough time. Clients can send design inspiration by text or direct message.

Booking requires a credit or debit card, and payment is due at the time of service. New clients should arrive with bare nails or add a removal to their booking. The business recommends no more than three weeks between Signature Gel Finish appointments. If a booking is made incorrectly or a client arrives late, a cut-down may be needed, which removes extras such as hand scrub, jelly spa bath or nail art. The salon is open Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. It is closed Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. The Booksy page shows a 5.0 average rating from 11 reviews.
