Terrible serviceI told at least three people I had thin nail and needed my nails to soak instead of just going straight to Buff on my hands and feet ;instead they insisted on buffing firstI told the first nail lady no I need to soak longer and she grabbed her kit and left without saying anything,! Rude and unprofessionalThen the man doing my toes ask if I had gel on my nails which for the fourth time I responded with yes. Water was extremely cold after I repeatedly told themSo he grabs a bucket and starts to take water and empty the bin instead of refill it with fresh water. It was a messHe then proceeds to go straight to buffing my nails when I told him I had thin nailsHe destroyed my toe! It seemed like he had no idea what he was doingAt that point I got up and left .Go elsewhere!!!
Worst Customer service. I gave this place 4 chances. I made an appointment each time. I arrive on time and still have to wait over 30 minute for someone to start working on my nails. No apologies or discounts ever given. Don’t waist your time.
I get my eyelashes done here. Great job and they stay on. And a very decent price also. Shes fast and sweet. Gives you exactly what you want.
Great service but not completely in love with the end result of my nexgen set, plus I paid for a cuticle trim that I didnt get.
Read reviews to choose a technician, because the ones I have had have been very rough and rude! I have been going for a couple of months now hoping to have a better experience but it has not happened. I even got a bruise last time on my leg from the technician slamming a rock against my leg during my pedicure. I will never return.
I wish I had read the Yelp reviews before visiting since they seem to reflect my experience better than Google reviews.Pros: There was no wait time for me and my cousin to get a manicure, the nail color is nice.Cons: entire visit was rushed, my nail technician combined steps (such as slapping on the scrub and lotion together instead of separate), slapped my hands to get me to relax (It’s hard to relax when they are rushing to trim cuticles and it’s hurting), called me manly when I asked her if she could be a little firm with the massage, and squirted oil on my arms but didn’t rub it in .... just to name a few.I also requested to wax my upper lip. She commented “you are now a woman, no longer a man” after waxing me. I broke out in hives on the way home. The hives are a reaction from my own body, but it hasn’t happened before and I wonder if it’s from their wax which is pink (different than what I’ve ever used).Overall, not a pleasant experience and not a place I would recommend.
Very kind talented, clean & very good at what they do best nail salon in dfw ❤️
Place will take good care of you but sometimes they will have you sitting there for a good minute before getting to you. Free refreshments and very nice people. I decided to try this place because a previous nail salon I went to, the lady broke two of my nails and cut my cuticle too deep that I started to bleed. This place is very clean, relaxing, and professional. I will now be going here everytime I want my nails done. (The very short nail in the picture is from the previous nail salon breaking it. I didnt want to file down all my other nails because I have been actively trying to grow them out. So the thought of cutting them all down hurt me. So I didnt.)
Helen is the best, especially on my eyelashes and always provide great customer service. I am there once a month, pedicures are also the best and everything is affordable ❤️
This place is so tranquil and I almost want to nap. They have great equipment and a delightful atmosphere. Everyone there does a great job and I have my nails done a different way every time, Ive never been disappointed. Highly recommend.
Best Salon in my area
Snow is wonderful...I had 2 of my own nails she was able to save and not cut down to the quick..
Love this place. Helen does the best eyelashes!!!!
Amazing experience! They are great with brow waxing
Walked in and was seen very quickly. I usually attend a different salon closer to work but I am VERY glad I found River Nails. I worked with Loann and she did a fantastic job. I was skeptical because I was getting a nail shape I had never tried before. I am 2.5 months out from my wedding so I have best testing out colors and shapes for the past few months. I am happy to say I found my perfect wedding day color and shape!!I really hope Loann is available in October! She did phenomenal
My daughter had a pedicure, She loved it. They took Covid 19 precautions very well. They wore a mask and gloves the whole time, My daughter also has ingrown toenails and they did an awesome job taking them out. I highly recommend this place!
I went to this place about 2 weeks ago and my pedicure still looks good. I am a runner and cheerleader, this pedicure was relaxing and I would definitely recommend this place to something be else.
Wonderful! I think Ive found my new nail salon 😊So clean and great atmosphere. Loved the birds chirping.
Great environment and very good customer service !
I got nex gen, picked out a mid ton purple sparkly color and I got a silver sparkly color. When I mentioned it, they implied that I must have showed them the wrong color, that it was my fault. My friend and I both emphasized that I was clear about wanting purple and there wasnt even a silver color like this in the choice of colors. They offered to redo my whole set begrudgingly, but I couldnt wait around for that, so they unwillingly offers 10.00 off my next visit. Seriously, you just couldnt have taken that off my bill this time?! When I asked how they would know who I am when I came back in the second time for my 10.00 off, they just said they would know.Pretty disappointed in how they treat their customers and their way of making it right. They lady who did my nails was nice, but she KNEW the color wasnt right when she was applying it, because she kept insisting it would get more purple colored. She had the opportunity on a slow day to make sure I got what I wanted, and she chose to let that opportunity pass by. I wont be returning, you can keep your 10.00 off, will take my business elsewhere.
They charge way to much and I sat there for 30 mins after they got me in a chair waiting for someone to come start on my nails. Well once the lady showed up to start removing my acrylic from my nails to get an over lay she left part of the old pink acrylic on and just put the new colored acrylic over it. I will never return to this place. My step daughter went in with me to get her eyebrows waxed mind you we had an appointment the ladies who showed up after us as walk ins got called back to get her brows waxed while my step daughter had to wait until 3:45 our appointment was at 3. I dont recommend this place at all.
The lady who did my toes did a good good but was very rough with tool used i constantly kept saying ouch and eventually started crying because of the pain:/
River nails take pride in their work.. Thank U for your great service
Such a classy clean jewel of Rowlett. Sometimes you might have a wait but hands down the best eyelashes, wax and nails/toes around town. If your going to get your nails down ask for Amy! She is detail oriented and very funny. Never a dry moment here. The Manager walks around and checks at the nails and delivers waters and is very attentive. Just by far sticks out more than any other salon. I dislike sharing them but they deserve a compliment and it is well deserved!
Why have an appointments if you all cant keep them.
Bad quality nails not worth the price... Will not be going back.
Got my nails done once again by them, And once again they do an EXCELLENT job. I got the short square powder acrylic, with a pedicure (just painted) .... and the end results was more than I expected it.. There where a lot of laughs, just an enjoyable place in general. I 100% recommended this place
They’re always so attentive! Even with COVID-19, they’re taking extra precautions to make sure you’re protected as well as themselves. My nails are always beautiful when I leave!
After coming here every two weeks for the past few months I won’t be returning. I made an appt for 3pm, arrived at 2:55 only to be told there was a 20 minute wait! Having to wait defeats the purpose of making an appt in the first place.I will say that I had never had any issues in the past, my nails were always beautiful. I booked my appt for a certain time because I had other things to do.I left and went to another nail shop and was in and out in a hour. I don’t give my money to places that don’t respect my time. They are too many nail salons in Rowlett to choose from!!
Wonderful service. I will be back!
LOVE LOVE LOVE TO NAIL SALON💅🏾💖!!! I recently relocated from Atlanta to Dallas area after 20 years. I spent a lot of time online reading reviews for several nail salons.After 8 yrs at my former nail salon in Atlanta, I was extremely hesitant to try a new place.A very relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Margaritas and snacks. The staff is so far away. The facility is very clean. Mary did an excellent job on my dip powder manicure and did an amazing job on my signature pedicure.So pleased with the service and the results 💅🏾💖
I love how they did my toes and nails (OBSESSED 😍!) definitely worth 5 stars, I highly recommend y’all to go here.
First pedicure! I was dreading it thoroughly but my wife was insistent that I go with her. Beyond impressed with the service and comfortable environment. My feet fell great and it didnt hurt like I thought it would.
I went to River nails today and had my hands and feet done. It was a pleasure to meet Kelly who just made two weeks working at the salon doing nails. I would like to say the had a conversation with me and did an amazing job on my 💅.
This has been my favorite find yet! They did an amazing job giving me exactly what I wanted! And it was more affordable than most♡
Got an amazing* pedicure from Lynn and a wonderful set of dip nails from Snow. Both ladies took SO much time on me. I left feeling so pampered and comfortable.
I brought my special needs (adult) child to this place for the very first time for a basic manicure. They were patient and sanitary. We did not have an appointment, but they took us right away.UPDATE: My daughter and I have returned for a second visit. This time for a pedicure, again for my daughter.Ann was wonderful with providing my daughter an Essential Pedicure.(In the past at other nail salons people tend to give my daughter a little less of a “normal service” as she is a disabled 22year old with a physical disability and the mental capacity of a young child. I believe they think she doesn’t know the difference, but she does.)I was very pleased to see Ann treat my daughter as she would anyone else, and provide her with a full pedicure service. She even asked her if she would like a flower design on her toe, So cute!We will return.
Beautiful place, very peaceful and relaxing. Both nail techs did an amazing job on my pedicure and dip nails. It was exactly like I wanted and I can be very picky. Not to mention it was super affordable! This was my first time but definitely won’t be my last!
Ive been going to River Nails for over 5 years now, and even after all this time and a major change in management, it still has the friendliest staff and the best prices! Everyone on their staff is really good at their jobs, but Jennifer is my favorite nail person. She is very sweet, does a great job making my nails gorgeous, and speaks and understands English as well as I do. In my opinion, River Nails is the best ski nail place in the Dallas area!
Ms. Helen is the best! She has done my lashes for years. They are very friendly and affordable.
Heard wonderful things about this salon. Decided to pay a visit and get a manicure and pedicure. Had my manicure done by Tammy. It was going well for a few minutes until cut my cuticles when drilling the nails. On at least four fingers. Tammy applied some liquid that just brought on a stinging sensation. They dont seem to have any topcoat like other nail salons Ive been to that actually dry quickly. So it would get smudged easily and had me dry it under a light after repainting it. Tammy made it clear through attitude did not want to redo my nails. As if heat ever helps to dry wet nails. The color was gorgeous so the one star can count towards that. Otherwise they can do better on not rushing on a customer so skin wont be drilled. Good luck not feeling rushed here when its busy.
Always a good experience at River Nails. Tammy is my favorite technician. Beautiful and very clean salon. I highly recommend River Nails.
I had never had a manicure or pedicure. I lost two toe nails to disease so I was afraid of going to a nail salon. My daughter started going here a couple of months ago and I liked her nails so I finally went. It was awesome. This place is beautiful, the technicians are careful and they really pamper you. I am a satisfied customer.
Absolutely the best pedicure Ive had. I love the people here. I was welcomed with hello beautiful. Quin did my pedicure and did a great job! She was very personable. This is my 2nd time here getting the peppermint pedicure for $30. The atmosphere is great. They offer drinks and snacks. Probably my favorite thing is that they actually spend time on you and not rush you out. Highly recommend this nail salon :)
Lee has taken excellent care of me for 9 years. Today’s pedicure one of the best!Nancy was very professional and sweet with my dip manicure. My new favorite dynamic duo. Guylynn
I just moved into the area and I was blown away by Nancy’s work. She took her time and was very sweet. My nails came out beautiful and I look forward to my next visit!
I love this nail salon. I make the drive from Dallas and its well worth it. Its a Nice clean and relaxing place and the drinks are a plus. I love my nail tech Maylan, she is so nice and pays attention to every detail. She has always done an amazing job on my nails. I always leave happy with my nails.
I always leave this place satisfied and relaxed. I always get compliments on my lashes and nails all the time .
Mylan is always my choice because of the way she does my nails. She is precise in how she shapes them and overall always does a great job. I love her and the way she does my nails. She’s the reason I keep going back to this place. This place is so great and I’ve gone to a lot of places before going here. Everyone in my family goes here and we all love it.
Saw that river nails was open on the holiday today and my mother in law HAD TO GO! This is the MOST relaxed I have ever been during a pedicure. I highly recommend this nail salon. Everyone is so kind and my mother in law has been coming here for years. Their decorations are fancy, drink choices are fantastic, and prices are super reasonable. I highly recommend the collagen pedicure, its made my feet feel the best they ever have!! You wont be disappointed 😍😍
Great experience! Linda was wonderful. Its as if I walked out with a hand transplant. Beautiful service, ambiance, reasonable price for the pampering received. My 1st time to review any nail salon I have stepped foot in.
I enjoy going to River Nails & Spa. Sandy (the owner) is EXCEPTIONAL! She is very detailed and her work is flawless! Sandy is also very selective with the people she hires and they must also perform great work. The salon is ALWAYS clean and the decor offers a LUXURY atmosphere. Ive been going to Sandy for over 17 years and I highly recommend River Nails & Spa!!
I love River Nails! Sandy the owner is super sweet and truly cares for her customers. She started doing my nails 13 years ago! The shop is newly renovated and is absolutely beautiful. Its always very clean. If you are looking for a nail salon you should give River Nails a try!
Ive been going to Sandy for over 15 years and I will not go anywhere else! Sandy (the owner) is EXCEPTIONAL! She is very detailed and her work is flawless! Sandy is also very selective with the people she hires and they must also perform great work. The salon is always clean and the decor offers a luxury atmosphere. I highly recommend River Nails & Spa!!
Let me start off saying the place is beautiful, clean and they was very nice.. The lady who did my toes she did a great job/ excellent job... Ok the lady who did my nails.. I got a French tip acrylic. Don’t get me wrong they was beautiful she did a great job. But she seem like she didn’t want to be there (Gave me bad vibes) and she kept hurting me with the nail acrylic drill machine... I said ouch so many times and she kept doing the same thing... but overall they both came out cute..
Lady burned me and it’s been two days and I’ve had two nails come off painfully I tried using this place again after a few years and won’t return.
I go there because everyone is so friendly and seems happy to see you. They do a great job on my nails.
My favorite place to get my nails done, best pedicures around. Their signiture pedicure is perfect for monthly upkeep and their ultimate pedicure is great for treating yourself every once in a while. Staff always asks how you are and is very attentive. They are also very sanitary and really want to make sure youre nails stay perfect while they dry. Also, they have drinks and cookies.
I am new in town and googled nail salons near me. I found this one and every review was 5 stars. The reviews mentioned how friendly, clean, and professional they were. So I decided to give them my business! Hands down the best pedicure experience Ive ever had!! So glad I came!! 5 stars across the board. Not one complaint!
The services are wonderful. Tammy did an awesome job. The owner is very attentive and professional. This is my favorite place!
First time to get a pedicure and Jennifer did a wonderful job! Staff was courteous and I was very pleased. My feet have never felt this good!
Every time I go to River Nails I have an exceptionally great experience. They take their time with me and Ive never felt rushed out. Sandy and Amy are wonderful, as well as the others who have done my pedicures and nails. I definitely walk out feeling relaxed and the polish stays on for weeks. Ill always bring them my business!
I have been coming to this salon for about 10 years. Ive moved out of the immediate area and now travel 30 min to get here. Worth the drive! Staff is so friendly, salon is beautiful, the owner and her family are just so welcoming every time someone walks in the door. Best pedicure in in the north Texas area!
This place is really clean, has no strong smells and great professionals. I had the opportunity to have the owner do my eyebrows waxing and he is amazing and knows his stuff. Ive also had pedicures and it is my go to place. Totally recommend it!
It was my first time visiting this salon today, and I am impressed with their decor and customer service. They offer many services. I just had a manicure with shellac gel polish, but I would definitely come back. They offer many refreshment options as well, and again customer service was top notch.
It was wonderful my nails 😍 look gorgeous, the right length,the design is beautiful 😃😄😆 I recommend them to anyone
Very good experience. Did not have to wait and Jennifer was friendly and thorough. She also gave me an excellent pedicure!
This place is absolutely wonderful. A little bit more than what I was used to paying, but the dedication and attention to detail that was spent on my nails and toes was just unreal. The women here are absolutely lovely, sweet as all get out. Im such a perfectionist when it comes to my nails, and they surpassed even my expectations. I will definitely be coming back again!
Hard working ladies, but not the best work. I got a dip powder set and they were left incredibly thick and unnatural looking. Over priced and add on charges without telling you at the end of the service.
New ownership... not the same. I got a pedicure with Jenny. She was friendly and did a decent job. My friends pedicure was done by Linda. She did an awful job. Smeared up. The sad part is her fixing it and still came out horrible. She didnt do the things listed for the selected pedicure. So sad. I loved this place.
I have been going to Sandy for over 15 years and I have been very pleased with the work she does. Lee had done me pedi many time and she always does a great time. Everyone is so friendly and nice. Very professional and the shop is very clean. They offer drinks and snacks. I would highly recommend this place. I have nothing bad to say about River Nails and Spa.
I tried this salon based on the high reviews here. Normally, I try to withhold the bad reviews, because I feel that more people bother to post a complaint than an atta-boy. However...the technician drew blood three times during my visit. One spot from the cheese grater used on some thin skin over bone (no callous!) is still scarred after a few months. And the offending employee, stomped out of the room when she discovered that I left here zero tip on the credit card reciept. I will not be returning.
I love lashes. Excellent job and perfect pricing. Helen did a fantastic job.
Sandy and Amy will make you melt, I have been going here for over 10 years, moved out of the area, and still drive back. Thats how good the services are. Pedicures and waxing, Id never see anyone else. River Spa is clean, relaxing, and beautiful. There is something for everyone, including kids pedicure chairs. Kick back, have a cocktail or cookie, and let the River Spa team make you feel pampered and refreshed.
We have been gone to this place several times and it was always good until today. I took my 11 year old daughter for an mani-pedi and they said she was so big they would have to charge her an adult price. She is 11 and won’t be able to do 90% of the treatments they do for adults. We left and went to Oscars where they didn’t discriminate.
Oh my gosh. Love, love and LOVE this place. They are so kind and affordable!. I do wish their lash extensions or a bit cheaper or at least have a coupon once in awhile for them. because then I would get them done.
First visit and I’m loving the experience.Thank you Ann for taking such good care of me today😉 you guys are trying to make me drive here from Louisiana every month for this wonderful service!!
The facility is clean and beautiful. The service I received was okay. I went in to get the classic manicure, which seemed reasonably priced to me. I had Aaron the first time. I didnt get my nails reshaped or buffed, which was supposed to be included. The nail polish was very lumpy and uneven near the tips and edges. Another employee told me that the polish was like that because thats how it was supposed to be. The polish smeared because it wasnt dry all the way. I had to get them redone by Tammy. She reshaped and buffed my nails and I decided I just wanted the nail polish I previously had removed and put a clear coat on. The gold polish that I had wasnt removed all the way, some was still left on the edges. I wasnt offered anything to drink while there. I usually never get my nails done and I had hoped this experience would have been better than it was. I will not be going back to this location. However, I do appreciate them redoing my nails.
This place is amazing! They just hired a new team and everyone is very professional and clean including the owner. The owner is so sweet and caring! A must try if you are looking for some pampering 😊
This is the most relaxing nail shop Ive visited. Helen does lashes and she always does an excellent job, also Kim is great on nails. Great job ladies!!!
I have been coming to River nails for about 10 years and have never had a bad experience! Sandy and Amy always take the best care of their guests and treat everyone like family. Would definitely recommend!
Mylan does such incredible work. She’s so sweet and does her best to make sure I leave happy. I have never had a bad experience at river nails in general. The ambiance is so nice and it’s really clean
This place is so clean and very nice. They do an awesome job on my manicure and pedicure every single time I go there. The last time I went I took my elderly mom for a pedicure she loves it too
Love this spa! I hadn’t had a pedicure in years so you can imagine how shot my feet were and the embarrassment and insecurity I felt. Tweety did my pedicure and not only had magical hands but didn’t make me feel ashamed at all. She was very detail oriented and kind! I will be back!
I get dip, and I really like Snow. But let me tell you, she did ny eyebrows, and omg they looked so good. My eyebrows are messed up from me plucking them terribly as a teenager, but she waxed and trimmed them and they looked amazing. She does great nails also as I mentioned. This salon is very pretty and clean. They have a ton of colors as well.
Lovely salon. Involved owner. Had Mani and pedi. The chairs were sensational. They serve one complimentary Al or non-alcoholic drinks. Very sanitary and relaxing environment. Conveniently located.
This place is so great and clean. They are very friendly. I stopped off today with my friend for a full set pink and white they have so many great options and give you the look you want! Ive never been to a salon with such great service. Im not going anywhere else for now on !
First off- WOW just WOW. The best way to describe this place is a HIDDEN GEM!! the inside is spectacular, 5 star service, excellent hospitality. This will be the ONLY place I come to from now on.
I have been a customer at River Nails since they opened about 12 years ago and I love this salon. The decor is gorgeous and you immediately know you are in an upscale, full-service salon. It is very clean and the staff is professional, meticulous and friendly.
Helen does great lashes! Very beautiful.If you are looking for a lash tech please go here she is the best.
Overall very professional and friendly staff. Take pride is providing excellent customer service. Clean, beautiful establishment,prices are very affordable. I live abt 25 miles from location, there are many salons along the way but none with superb customer service as River Salon. I enjoy the professionalism and knowledge of Helen, my last stylist. Jennifer and Nancy are highly recommended for nails.I only wish when Im getting my nails/pedicure the technicians would bd respectful of my time and not talk so much amongst themselves. This is a time for relaxing not for hearing different conversations going on.
I love Helen! Best nail tech in town for such an amazing price!
They can be very rude at times & i didnt quite get wat i wanted. I will not be returning..
