Big thanks to my daughter, who gave me a gift card to Spruce Nail Shop for my birthday. I did not…read morelet that gift gather dust and used the very easy online booking process to schedule a waterless mani-pedi for myself at the Findlay Market location. Ashley took wonderful care of me, including helping me step down from the pedicure stand since I'm still recovering from knee surgery. I never feel rushed at Spruce and have always enjoyed engaging conversations with the nail professionals and the other customers there. Today was no exception. I walked out super happy and beyond delighted with my fun, blue fingernails and toenails and the lovely shape Ashley gave them.

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.

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.

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!

I have notoriously difficult fingernails, and Dina is the only person who's ever been able to give me a manicure that actually lasts.

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!
