About Master Nail
On South Westnedge Avenue in Portage, Master Nail is a nail salon run by a husband and wife team on a walk-in basis. Beyond the standard manicure and pedicure menu, the owners will freestyle a custom nail design from a photo a customer brings in, with nail art priced as an addition to the base service. Pedicures include lotion applied to the legs as part of the service. The salon opens Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Nail shaping and custom designs draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly crediting the stylists for matching exact requests on shape, length, and color and for freestyle creative designs that keep them returning as regulars. Several also mention reasonable prices and easy walk-in scheduling. But a recurring complaint centers on the male stylist and pedicure service, with one reviewer describing a dirty setup and stepping out before a pedicure began, and another reporting a pedicure where the legs weren't washed and lotion was applied that irritated the skin, all while still being charged. One reviewer says an appointment for a Halloween design ran long before work even started, and a separate reviewer reports being overcharged for a result that didn't match the requested photo. Against that, satisfied customers describe getting exactly what they showed in reference pictures, with staff checking in on color and length before they left.

“This is the first time someone has done my nails exactly the way I wanted! The shape, the color, the length—everything is absolutely perfect. She is so kind, listens carefully to what you want, and does exactly what you ask for. She makes sure you’re happy with the color, the length, and every little detail before you leave. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. I 100% recommend this salon to anyone looking for beautiful nails and amazing service!”

“DON’T GO TO THEM! THEY DO NOT DO SQUARE TOE NAILS AND CHARGED ME FOR A PEDICURE WHERE HE DIDN’T EVEN WASH THE LEGS BUT PUT LOTION ON MY LEGS AND ALMOST BURNED IT OFF! They charged 35-40 dollars and ain’t did nothing. I didn’t even get polish.”

“I did not like my nails at all and they overcharged way too much. The first picture is what I got and the 2nd picture is what I wanted 😒”

“This place is terrible, the older man at this nail salon didn't know what he was doing. Then the wife jumped in as she was another customer. She wants to do my pedicure and I step out the place for good. I found this place dirty and no well taking care as they welcome customer that pay a lot of money for service.”

“I've been a returning customer for 2 years now. The shop is ran by a husband and wife both friendly and great at their jobs. I love that they do walk-in appointments and it's a good location. I have gotten so many compliments on my nails …”
