Three Sisters salon offers a convenient location on the east side where they provide manis, pedis, and a number of polish choices, along with gel fills, dipping powders, basic polish changes, and much more. While this is an excellent stop for your nails, there are many other spa services here, so it’s best suited for a dedicated nail day.

8. MiNT Nail & Hair

MiNT is one of several salons in the area that specializes in nails and hair, making it a popular double-stop when one person needs a haircut or similar work, and the other is interested nail services.

10. Spa W

Are looking for a full spa experience to complement your nail plans? Spa W in Old Bend has won awards for being the best full-service day spa in Central Oregon, and they offer a variety of packages depending on the spa services you want. That can range from massage and facials to a variety of body treatments, plus nail treatments. It’s a great stop if you have extra time and really want to pamper yourself.

11. Pretty Nails

Pretty Nails is located in the Cascade Village Shopping Center, making it a popular stop as part of a casual afternoon of shopping (and maybe a stop by Shinsei for some sushi). The salon handles a wide variety of nail services, from a shellac manicure to a gel nails, as well as airbrush designs. It’s also one of the nail salons in the city with massage chairs – we know that’s a must-have for some salon guests!

12. Bamboo Salon & Spa

Another salon on 3rd street, Bamboo is a great stop for nail work and hair services, with highly affordable prices ranging from $20 for a basic mani to $55 or more for a full set. They are one of the better options in Bend if you are looking for a casual walk-in on short notice rather than making an appointment.

13. KS Nails & Spa

KS is notable for their downtown location, an easy walk from downtown Bend shopping and other activities. KS handles both manis and pedis, along with waxing services. Unlike many salons, they do not list their nail care prices online to browse through, so you’ll have to contact them and ask for a quote for a specific service.

Tips for Choosing a Nail Salon in Bend

  • Make a reservation early. While availability is better than it was during the COVID times, scheduling can still be very tight, especially at the popular places that we’ve listed. Depending on the nail services you are interested, you may need to make a reservation many days out (or much more, if you are interested in a specific stylist). Plan well ahead! Some salons do accept walk-ins, but only if there is a stylist available to help out and that’s common, which is why appointments are encouraged.
  • To check out full price lists, always visit a salon’s website. Bend’s salon services are generally very good about posting their exact prices for all nail services online. If its your first time visiting a new salon, you can quickly check and make plans based on your budget and what you want. Booking is typically handled on the website too, so you can save plenty of time when you find a price range you like.
  • As you may have noticed, the best nail salons in Bend are often full-service stops that offer hair, skin, and a variety of beauty related spa services. If you’re planning for other treatments too, it’s a good idea to schedule them all in the same place, and – if possible – for the same day, too.
  • If you love outdoor play, keep in mind how it will affect your nails, too. This is especially true if you’re interested in a pedicure. Keep in mind how hiking, paddleboarding, and other fun summer activities will affect your beautiful nails, and plan your salon visit accordingly. On the other hand, if you’re looking forward to flip-flop weather, it’s a good idea to schedule a pedicure beforehand.
  • If you’re getting nail work with the girls, look for a salon that welcomes groups and group appointments so you can have a good experience (this was typically discouraged during the pandemic, but now salons have largely opened up to groups again).
  • Don’t forget about coupons! Bend salons regularly have a variety of coupons for select services. Sometimes these are posted directly to their websites, but for other versions you may need to check local magazines, papers, Instagram, Groupon, and similar sources. This can help you save money while also getting acquainted with the different nail spots around town.
  • Need some serious nail art? Always check a salon’s galleries to see examples of their work. This can help you quickly figure out which salons are most familiar with the kind of look you have in mind. The same is true if you are interested in more advanced acrylic or fill options: The gallery of past work can provide plenty of useful examples. It’s also smart to have pictures to show the nail technician so they can best emulate the latest trends and designs you may want.

We work to keep our lists updated with all the latest information, but in a growing city like beautiful Bend, things can change fast…and sometimes even websites can fall behind providing important updates about moves, changing staff or services, etc. When in doubt, check a salon’s social media, and give them a call to make sure they are still offering exactly what you want.
