    1. Parking is terrible and owner shows no interest in improving the situation…read more 2. Appointments clearly mean absolutely nothing to the owner. I had a 3:30 appt for gel mani and pedi. After a late start on the pedi by the owner who was doing my pedi work, she finished around 5 PM. Then the owner ordered me to sit at a mani station, where I waited 20 minutes for service. Finally I got up to look for the owner, who was doing a pedi on a different customer. I asked her what's going on. She said I had to wait for a manicurist, and it would be another 15 minutes before he was free. I do not have 3+ hours to spend on a simple mani/pedi! I left after making another mani appt for 8:45 the next morning. I arrived on time, and still had to wait and then go looking for the manicurist who I found cutting oranges in the back of the salon. "I'll be 5 minutes!" she said. Still waiting, she finally appeared. She did no cuticle work whatsoever, just polish removal and new polish. Not a satisfactory job whatsoever. 3. While this was going on, another customer arrived for 9 AM appt. Her manicurist never even arrived at the salon until 9:15. 4. The laminated services page I was handed was filthy. I tried to point that out to the owner, who ignored my comment about the crud and kept insisting I buy the most expensive service. That I did NOT do. 5. The shame of all of this is that there are actually good employees who want to do the right thing for their customers. Tony, my usual manicurist, who is wonderful, was on vacation. My mistake was expecting his level of service from other employees. 6. My daughter, who spends upwards of $200 every other week at nail salons, had a very similar experience as mine at Rio two weeks ago. It took them over 3 hours for her mani and pedi. She will never return to Rio, nor will I. I will miss Tony but I cannot reward such a poor company with my business.

    Do not recommend to anyone for a pedicure. Their manicure side looked busy, so maybe that is the…read moreway to go here. The building was clean and updated. The one star review comes from the actual skill of the technician. I did not inspect my toes before leaving because I assumed they would be fine. Wrong. I get home and find that there is paint all over my cuticles and on my skin (see pictures). For $60+, I would expect the skill of the technician would be average at best. I am so disappointed and will not be back.

    This was my first mani/pedi experience in Cincinnati and it was enjoyable. The pedicure was one of…read morethe best I've had for a fair price. The only reasons why it's not a 5 is because their colors for no-chip manicures were pretty limited. There was a baby sleeping in a playpen and another on an iPad, but neither was loud or in the way, so that didn't bother me at all. This isn't a fancy experience, so don't expect any glasses of wine or champagne or any other "extras." Just a good mani/pedi. :)

    This became my go to place until two days ago when I this lady did my spa pedicure. She didn't use…read moreclippers - only filed so nails aren't shaped nicely. She over scrubbed the side of my toe which was not callused leaving it raw & oozing. She looked at it & laughed while saying sorry. This pic is 2 days later and it is still painful. Also unsure what product was used on the below average massage but it literally burned my skin. It was not the normal exfoliating scrub as used in the past. After this poor job, one of the men sat down to add gel polish. Clearly, this woman is new and not worth my $65 + $10 tip to practice on. I feel I should have been given a choice of someone without experience or one of the regulars. I rate them a 4-5 before this visit & recommended them to friends. After this visit and damaging the skin on my toe and burning my legs, I don't plan to return. But I was given a giant band-aid to cover the broken raw oozing skin .. on the search for a new pedicure spot!

    So many ironies about this place, first being that it's called "fancy nails" when nothing about…read morethis place is at all fancy- like the other reviewers mentioned- it's a bit dive-y. Keep that in mind while I move on to my next irony: while I was getting my nails done (shellac), the news came on and the feature story was "what really goes on in nail salons", highlighting the risk of bacteria, fungus, and infection if things aren't cleaned properly. I kept looking around hoping that even though it didn't look spic and span, that at least they cleaned the tools they used properly. At this point, you may be wondering why I even gave it three stars. Well, it's close to wear I live, the ladies are friendly, the prices are reasonable and I currently do not have any sort of nail infection. If that changes, so will my review, obvs. But for now, I'll give a three star rating because it's not amazing, but it's a-ok!

    I absolutely love this place!! I moved to Cincinnati in February just in time for the shut down…read more.. so needless to say when everything opened back up I was looking for some much needed maintenance. I called the shop and was invited in immediately. The owner was friendly and had all the new "safety" precautions in place. My nails look beautiful and the owner made me feel beautiful and back to my "pre-pandemic" self. I can't say enough nice things about this salon. Thank you!!!
