I am very happy with my SNS manicure and my pedicure is perfect. The lady who did my nails really cared about my happiness. The orange color we picked didn't turn out to be the color I wanted. She offered to change it on the spot, but I had somewhere to be and didn't have time. She offered to change next week. While not exactly like the picture I showed to her, I think I can live with it. I have struggled to find a nail salon in Blacksburg. I think this is it. The shop is clean. They take appointments and are always on time. I also think the price is very reasonable.
Pleasantly surprised. I read the reviews and decided to give this place a shot. I got a classic pedicure on a Thursday. There was only about 4 people getting serviced, so I had a short wait. I thoroughly enjoyed the chair massage while I waited! The staff were nice, friendly and accommodating. The classic pedicure was $28. They did a good job of trimming and painting nails. I REALLY enjoyed the hot black stones! I wished it lasted longer! Limited "massaging" of the feet and calf with my purchase, but I'm sure they would provide additional services with a higher priced pedicure. Overall, I was satisfied. The jury is still out on how long it will be before the polish starts chipping! I would return to check out the manicure service. I have uploaded the pricing menu for others to view
Warning!! Going to be a lengthy review coming up... I first visited here with my niece to get a pedicure for her and myself. At first I was impressed because they used hot stones during the pedicure, something I have never had from just a 'basic' pedicure. I asked for french tip on my toes and then acrylic overlay on my big toe, as I always get when I get pedicures. The lady doing my pedicure asked another lady to do the acrylic for me and the lady refused. This is something I HATE when I go to a salon, is when they refuse to do a service you ASK for. No other salon has refused to do the acrylic on my big toe. I get it because I want the square shape, and with how my toenails grow, is not possible with my toenails. The lady said the acrylic is not needed and it is "not healthy". Like I said, every other salon I have been to has done this for me without any questions asked. She absolutely refused to do this and just kept saying I "didn't need it". I just ended up saying okay so I wouldn't cause an argument with her. The lady doing my pedicure did not take all of the acrylic off of my toe that I originally had on, though, and last night it was lifting and snagged on something, causing my toenail to rip off. Now my toenail looks worse than it did before. I looked at my toes and I noticed they didn't even go under my toenail during the pedicure and I still had stuff under my toenails... nasty. On the other hand, I re-visited this shop to get my nails done (before noticing the whole toenail situation). I noticed they aren't very clean. A good nail shop does not reuse certain materials and I noticed this shop does. I wanted an acrylic full set with gel polish and of course, I was asked if I want SNS. NO! I want exactly what I said I wanted. Anyway, I get my nails done and I pay and go out to my car. I start to look at my nails in the natural light and really pay attention to them and I noticed they were very chunky and not even at all. Every one of my nails were different shapes and sizes. Usually I'll just deal with it but this time it was way too bad for me to keep the nails. I walked back into the shop and asked to get the nails removed. I showed how they were different shapes and sizes and they insisted to just "fix them". I get my nails done enough to know there was no fixing them. I said no, I would like them to be removed. They started to remove them and the older lady came and sat down to help me and she started saying how good the girl that done my nails was and asked why I didn't like them. I again had to explain they were different sizes and shapes. Originally, they said they would give me a $20 refund. When my nails were almost taken off, they brought me a $20 gift card instead. I paid a total of $53 for my service. A $20 gift card is nothing considering I got the nails completely removed and I feel like it was known that I would not be coming back to their salon. If I was offered a $20 refund, I should receive a refund and not a gift card. To sum it up, this salon is horrible for not giving their customers what they ask for. I go to a salon for the services I ask for, and a salon has never actually refused and argued with me about getting a service done. I have never seen a salon reuse as many products as this one does. If you didn't know--salon's are supposed to disinfect and replace certain products every customer. The pedicure tools weren't in the blue package like they usually are at other salons, so I am unaware if they actually disinfect them or not. Buffing tips for the drills should be new with each client and the ones they used were not new. Monomer should also be replaced every client, as it provides a clean application if the monomer is new. This monomer is just reused monomer just sitting in a big container. There are just so many health concerns at this salon. Like I said, I have gotten my nails done enough to know what to actually look out for. The photos attached are of my nails and how bad they looked. You can see the difference in length and shaping. There was no "fixing" them.
Many thanks to Emmy with NRV Nails & Spa for my fabulous French Mani-Pedi with original nail design! She is so talented!!! So very glad I came in to this warm and professional shop!
Wonderful place to get nail done in Blacksburg. I got acrylic gel nail done and it was natural looking and beautiful. Ladies who work there are talented and very nice. The only downside is the wait time. Even with an appointment it can be quite a long wait (like 30 mins).
I went here for the first time today and I absolutely LOVED it!! Everyone in there was super nice and helpful. I originally came in for a gel manicure, but my nail tech told me about SNS so I tried it. I got SNS with tips to add length and it is my favorite manicure I've ever gotten! My nails feel stronger than they do with acrylic and gel and I will definitely be doing SNS from now on. I highly recommend NRV Nails & Spa!!!!!!! My nails have never looked better.
If I could give this place 0, I 1000% would. Went in and got my previous nails taken off and soaked my nails in hot acetone for about 30 minutes off and on. The nail grinder was practically burning my nail and I had to pull away multiple times. I asked for them longer and she cut them shorter. She didn't even know how to do French dip and completely screwed that up. She was also very rough on me. Me and my best friend thought we would have a girls day but both of our nails are messed up. Hers feel like they are falling off and the lady told her she couldn't do short nails. Payed 55$ for something I'm gonna have to go and pay another 50$ to get fixed. Already made an appointment somewhere else to get them fixed today so the concert I go to tomorrow I don't have jacked up nails. I would not recommend this place unless you're getting your nails painted. Doesn't help that one lady in there doesn't know how to do a single thing. And the advertising says 35$ for full set but they somehow end up charging you about 30$ more.
Definitely found my new nail home. I had one in Pulaski but haven't been there in forever. Started hearing bad things bout the place. So I been looking around for a new one since I moved to Cburg. I went to the one at Walmart and I chipped 2 nails within a week. So I went today to get a cut down and fill in. Best decision I made coming here. The ladies are so nice,warning and sweet. For my first time there I definitely felt welcomed. I'm so glad I found a place that gives me what I want and will definitely be back.

This salon is a hidden gem in Blacksburg! I have been struggling to find somewhere to get my nails done in town and this is the place to go. First off, this salon is so clean! The inside is organized and very orderly with how they operate. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. I walked in for a manicure and actually had a staff member start her shift right as I came so I didn't have to wait long at all. I needed gel polish removed and it didn't take long for my tech to get it done. Anna was quick but careful, had great attention to detail, and was kind. She revisited my cuticles when she saw they needed more trimming and was careful about making sure I didn't mess up my nails when moving over to the drying area and rummaging through my purse to find my wallet. Small attention to details with the whole process of getting your nails done are important here. Hoping to be back soon! read more

Linda was great. She went above and beyond, in my opinion. With my Halloween nails she didn't stop until the spider looked exactly the way she wanted it to look. I'll actually be going back in a day or two to get my nails done for Thanksgiving. read more

This was about 3 years ago - but I walked in and showed the lady working these what I wanted done on my nails. They were absolutely stunning. She did them just how I want them. I know it was 3 years ago but I just thought about it and I have a picture to show how awesome they looked. read more

This review is for manicure only, I haven't had waxing or pedi service here. Lia did a great job giving me a gel manicure, she paid attention to detail and didn't rush. It cost $30, which is reasonable considering it was a full manicure (not just gel polish) and they had to take off old gel too (there's a salon in the area that charges $20 extra to take it off!) I've paid $40 at a nearby salon for a full gel manicure where they didn't do nearly as good of a job. I had to wait a little bit because they only had a few people working on a Saturday, but I would be sure to make an appointment next time. The place is clean (for some reason Blacksburg area has a lot of dirty nail salons) and the employees are friendly. read more

I've been searching for a good nail place in Blacksburg and this place is great! I got my first acrylic gel set done a week ago (I wish I got a picture of that) and had a fill-in today and my nails are so cute! I wanted to get an olive green color for more of a fall mood in time for Thanksgiving and the color was so similar to my burgundy rubber plant. It was exactly what I was looking for. I'll definitely be coming here frequently. read more

Made an appointment but appointments do not mater at all here, wasn't seen until forty minutes after it. Once done they only looked alright at first weren't very shiny at all. Then my nail broke easily off after just four days. Then the nail polish started chipping and looked terrible in a week. Only gave two stars because they were nice. read more

I went to this salon THREE DAYS AGO as a recommendation from Marriott because I was there for business. The staff was nice, They weren't busy and they took me right away. The reason why I give this business so little stars is that the girl who did my nails, although nice, had absolutely no idea how to do SNS nails. She put only 2 coats of powder and sealed. The materials besides the powder were goopy and not branded SNS. 4 nails already chipped and they look so sloppy. She didn't shape my nails or smooth them. The worst part of my story is I was charged 50.00 and I have to go and have them redone because they look so bad. If your staff isn't trained well, why would you allow her to do SNS? There is no way she was certified to do SNS because she did it all wrong. I DO NOT recommend this nail salon for SNS. I wasted 60.00 read more

Really amazing pedicure. Probably one of the best I've ever had. I was offered a drink and a snack. They use fruit to rub your feet and it smells great. I'll definitely be back! read more
