My absolute favorite nail spot!!…read more This has been my go-to salon ever since I moved around the area! Louie ALWAYS slays my nails and makes sure I get exactly what I ask for. Honestly, I can never decide on a color and I'm terrible at color matching, so I just ask Louie what looks best--and he is literally on point EVERY single time! Also, whenever I book an appointment, they see me RIGHT on time. At my old salon I'd always end up waiting forever, so this is a huge plus for me. Plus, they give you water and snacks!!

I had a very disappointing experience at Rainriver Nails…read more My nails looked messy, and it was sloppy work and had some dents, uneven shaping, and looked like a kid did it, and were wide and fat so I politely asked if they could be fixed. She was annoyed when I showed her my pic I wanted to copy. Buuut Instead of addressing the issues I pointed out, the technician grabbed my hand, held it down, and began cutting off my nails. I never asked for my nails to be cut and did not give permission for that service. I only wanted the uneven shaping and dents corrected. The handling felt rough and uncomfortable, and I was shocked that my nails were cut without my consent. When I told her that wasn't what I wanted, she simply told me to pay for the pedicure only. By then, my nails had already been cut much shorter than I wanted, and the situation could not be undone. Such lack of communication and respect for what I had actually requested. Customers should be listened to and asked before any significant changes are made to their nails like grabbing a hand and cutting off the nails. And based on this experience, I would not return.

zero stars!!!!…read more absolutely furious. absolutely outraged. absolutely disgusted. my sweet, respectful, polite, shy young daughter went into this salon expecting a peaceful, relaxing nail appointment. instead, she was completely ignored, bulldozed, pressured, overcharged, and treated with a shocking level of disrespect. we called ahead and specifically made an appointment for dip nails with tips. we knew exactly what we wanted. we requested dip nails with tips multiple times. there was no confusion. after putting on the tips, the technician proceeded to apply gel x instead. we immediately spoke up and corrected her. not once. multiple times. we said dip nails. we called for dip nails. my daughter asked for dip nails. instead of listening to the paying customer, this woman looked us in the eyes with her beyond evil bad energy and argued with us and tried to tell us what we should want. she acted as if our opinion didn't matter and as if she had the right to override the service we specifically booked and were paying for. how dare you look us into the eyes with your beyond evil eyes,bad energy eyes and soul and ignore a customer's request over and over again? how dare you decide you know better than the person paying for the service? as if that wasn't enough, the technician also made my daughter's nails much longer than she asked for. my daughter specifically requested a shorter length, but her request was completely ignored. when we asked for them to be shortened, the technician refused. what makes this even more infuriating is that this happened to a sweet, shy, respectful young girl. her kindness was taken for weakness. her politeness was taken as permission to steamroll right over her. she was completely disregarded while an adult continued doing whatever she wanted. we should have walked out the second she ignored our requests. the only reason we stayed was because she had already glued the tips on my daughter's nails and we felt put in a position where we had no choice but to continue. looking back, i regret not getting up and leaving right then and there, even if the job wasn't finished. no customer should ever be made to feel trapped into a service they did not want simply because the technician decided to proceed against their wishes. we clearly stated what we wanted multiple times, yet our requests were completely dismissed. once the tips were already applied, it felt like the decision had been taken out of our hands. that is not how paying customers should be treated. then to add insult to injury, we were charged even more, $60 instead of the $50 we were told over the phone when we made the appointment for dip with tips! we were charged extra for a service we did not want, did not request, and tried to stop multiple times. and the part that makes me even angrier? we actually left a tip. we should not have. after being completely disrespected, overridden, violated, robbed, and ripped off, we still left a tip out of decency, a decency that was never shown to us in return. a nail appointment is supposed to be relaxing. it is supposed to be a treat. instead, this experience left us feeling violated, robbed, manipulated, and completely disrespected as paying customers. please do not spend your hard earned money here unless you want your requests ignored, your voice dismissed, violated, robbed, and your wallet emptied for services you never asked for. i have never been so angry after a nail appointment in my life. watching my sweet, respectful, polite, shy daughter be treated this way filled me with a level of rage that words can barely express. this was completely unprofessional, completely unacceptable, and absolutely disgraceful. shame on this salon.

Merry Christmas

What truly sets Idol Nails apart, however, is their commitment to affordability without compromising on quality. In an industry where luxury often comes with a hefty price tag, Idol Nails stands as a beacon of accessibility, offering world-class service at prices that won't break the bank. It's a rare gem in a sea of overpriced salons, and I am eternally grateful for their dedication to providing exceptional value for money. Last but certainly not least, I must commend the manager for their outstanding leadership and professionalism. They lead by example, fostering a culture of excellence and ensuring that every member of the team is empowered to deliver nothing short of perfection. Their presence is felt in every corner of the salon, and it's clear that their passion for their craft is infectious. Life can be unpredictable, and there have been times when I've needed to adjust my appointment or run a few minutes late. Whenever this happens, I simply give them a call, and they're always understanding and accommodating. Whether it's rescheduling for a later time or another day, they make it hassle-free and convenient. read more
