Perfect color and shape

I had such a great experience with nail tech May. It's like she just knew what I needed. She shaped my nails the best I've ever had them done before and helped me pick a beautiful color for my nails. I would always go back to her. The prices are on the higher side but it's worth it. The salon is beautiful and clean and they cater to your needs. I didn't mind one bit paying for my pedicure and fill in today.

This is the best gel manicure I've gotten in a long time, they just renovated the place and I was excited to try it! The place is beautiful, and the woman I had who did my nails took her time and did every detail right. :)

I'd like to start off my review by saying I'm not shocked, but am certainly disgusted at the level of ignorance and outright racism in posts that are deemed as reviews for a business that does nails. Living in this community for over 10 years, you become well aware of the privilege and racism, judgement and fear based living that comes along with it, and many of these reviews do an excellent job of highlighting that. I've been going to Nails on Riverdale for over 5 years, and in that time have found my tech. His name is David, and he is AMAZING. He's always available, on time, knows exactly what I want, remembers the shape I love, and takes his time and is kind. Plus, he knows how to take care of my natural nails and keep them strong and healthy - super important to me. They recently got hard gel which I've been asking them about for years because it lasts so much longer, and the colors are out of this world. Sure it's a little pricey - welcome to Riverdale. David's pedicures are the best I've had since moving from LA. I usually do the CBD spa pedicure and I'm in the chair for a mani and pedi for 2.5.3 hours, so I'm not sure who's being rushed. I feel something else needs to be said here: The staff at Nails on Riverdale aren't rude; they're simply reacting to the constant treatment they receive from almost every customer who walks through their doors, which I've seen at every appointment. How long can you expect someone to keep smiling at their customers when their customers are curt, rude, don't speak, demanding, and super disrespectful? If you think $9 tip on $198 service is acceptable (I saw this last time I was there), what kind of customer service to you expect? I've had nothing but kind and pleasant experiences with every tech there - it's amazing what happens when you smile and ask questions and actually treat people like humans instead of your slaves. I'll never stop getting my nails done by David, but would happily sit in anyone's chair there! Thank you to the whole Nails on Riverdale team for all you do to make us feel beautiful, despite so many who don't appreciate you!

Fragile nails breaking because of the intense filing with machine.

Came here for a mani pedi and I had Angela as my technician. The pedicure was fine but I had gel on my hands and Angela intensely filed my nails down in order to get the gel off and then charged me extra for doing so. Another one of the technicians chimed in saying that the extra charge was normal at all salons which I have never experienced. My nails suffered severely from the intense filing with the filing machine. I do not recommend this place mainly because the nail care was not good nor was the customer service as it seemed like they did not care for the nails and primarily cared for getting your money. I do not recommend this place AT ALL!

Excuse my hands. I had some stitches that were taken out couple days prior

I really like this place. For the most part they do exactly what it is you want to be done. I don't rate it a 5 only because sometimes when I go in on weekends you can tell that SOME, not all, employees are rushing to finish u to get to others. Weekends obviously are pretty busy on weekends starting Fridays. So just remember that. But overall man, my gel manicures last for a long time. I've got my feet done a couple times there. It's cool, just wish they would scrub the heels a tad bit more. But yea. I would recommend this spot

I've been to this nail salon on two separate occasion, and i really wanted to like this place as I've exhausted all my options in the riverdale area, but their quality of work is just not there. I went in last week for manicure & sns dip. My nails are already chipping and everything just looks sloppy. Please save yourself the trip & you $.

My nails today!!!

Went in to get a fill in. I also told the tech I needed to cut my nails. She never asked me how…read moreshort. Too short for an oval shape and they looked bulky. Lost their almond shape. Paid $55.00 deposit on 80 dollar fill in which left with 27 to pay. Was told I owe 70.00 dollars due to nail cut down, gel color and another 10 on acrylic color. I have never had to pay for gel color, that's usually included in fill in. I left and called the owner and told her about the 20 dollar charge on gel. She told me she has always charged for gel color. And she also informed me that I should have asked??? I have never had to pay separate for gel color. And since I had asked to cut my nails that's what the tech did. But I'm always asked HOW SHORT!! She asked me to send pics of the nails but at this point she's making sure I'm at fault so why should I send pics. But I will send the pics to her and post here. She also informed me that if she loses me as a customer it won't hurt her business. After a heated back and forth she did hang up on me.

I'm not going to lie ....probably the worst nail service I have ever recieved. Nails turned out…read morecrooked and they charged me $65 for plain, nude colored nails. It was a fill in. The lady started on me and then when her friend came in, she told me to wait on the side for a few minutes. I wanted to slap her but just held my tongue. On top of that, they don't sterilize any of the equipment and rush while doing your nails They have turned me off from going to Washington heights and getting my nails done altogether Hell no. Would never return
