Let’s celebrate Bella Hands Beauty Boutique with a Happy 5th Birthday!
Nestled in the heart of Milwaukie, Oregon, within the vibrant Portland metro area, Bella Hands has become synonymous with amazing nails, personalized beauty care, exceptional customer service, and meticulous attention to salon hygiene. Owner Melissa Schumann is who brings the passion and dedication that have made Bella Hands a trusted name in the community.
The Bella Hands Journey
From its inception, Bella Hands set out with a clear vision: to offer customized beauty solutions that leave clients feeling pampered and valued. The salon quickly distinguished itself through its commitment to inclusivity, clean, sanitary practices, and a welcoming environment where clients could truly relax and enjoy their treatments with personalized services.
Melissa Schumann, the owner of Bella Hands, is not just a businesswoman but a skilled nail technician and educator. Her 20+ years of multifaceted expertise is a cornerstone of Bella Hands’ success. Melissa’s motto is, “Saving the world one nail at a time.” The saying is more than just a laugh…she truly cares about making sure her customers feel valued in ways that can change their lives.

The Heart and Soul Behind Bella Hands
Melissa’s journey into the beauty industry is a testament to her passion and dedication but has not come without challenges. As a cancer survivor, Melissa experienced personally what medical treatments can do to your skin and nails. She dedicated herself to education about her craft so that she could better serve those with compromised immune systems.
Melissa embraces inclusivity in all that she does. Everyone is welcome at Bella Hands and Melissa loves the diversity that living in the Pacific Northwest brings to her salon.
“I’m overjoyed to be doing what I’m doing with awesome people in my shop and FANTASTIC clients,” says Melissa, “I want to give a shout-out to Jenna who has been with me from the beginning and our new permanent make-up artist, Raven. I’m excited to have her begin working with us to offer our clients even more. I can’t believe it’s been five years since I opened these doors. I’m so happy to be able to do the thing I love most. Thank you for your support for my small business!”

A Commitment to Excellence
With 20+ years of experience and a genuine love for nails, Melissa has built Bella Hands into more than just a nail salon. She approaches each client with a personalized approach and tailors her services to meet their specific needs and preferences. This has earned Bella Hands a loyal clientele who return time and again.
Over the past five years, Bella Hands has grown and evolved. Each year, Melissa takes a few weeks out of the salon to head to nail education camps to learn new techniques, work on nail best practices, and creatively approach nail art and stylization.
Education is something she loves. Just ask her about it at your next appointment and she will tell you all about it! Her dedication keeps Bella Hands at the forefront of the beauty industry and sets her apart from other shops.
“Love Bella Hands. Awesome personalized service. The owner is so fun and really attentive to exactly what I needed,” says client Anna Larson, “ Super clean space and very welcoming. Will definitely be back for more beautiful nails! Also does a great job with waxing. Next booking I’m getting my lashes done too!”
As you can see, the success of Bella Hands is reflected in the glowing testimonials from satisfied clients who rave about the quality of service and the welcoming environment at Bella Hands.
