This past weekend, signs that summer is on the way were all around us. The sun was out, birds were chirping, flowers were in bloom; I think I even heard an ice cream truck. With the onset of the sunshine, it’s also time to bring back your much anticipated warm weather rituals. For some this may include gardening or spring cleaning, maybe shopping for your new go-to dress or going on a hike. No matter what your spring to-do list includes, make sure you include a fresh manicure and pedicure towards the top. Sit back, relax and get sandal-approved toes at one of these local shops.

Beauty Bar Portland
At Beauty Bar Portland, don’t expect your typical nail salon. Oh no! The Beauty Bar is a vintage beauty parlor and bar, complete with stiff drinks, music, and mixologists. For a unique night on the town, grab your friends and head to the Beauty Bar for their famous Martini & Manicure happy hour, where you can get thoroughly pampered while enjoying a delicious cocktail and live music. Happy hour is offered Monday through Friday from 4-7 pm and Saturday from 6 pm to midnight.

Lace Beauty, located in the Pearl is the perfect place to be pampered with one of their signature hand and foot treatments.

But it doesn’t stop here; Cindi provides extra refreshment with a peppermint-infused foot masque and cool towel wrap.
