    Not great! Not even good. All the tools didn't seem to be cleaned / sanitized before being used on me. They were pulled directly from the techs kit in front of me and seeing her do a quick glance at them before cutting. No real buff on the nails and ignored the one that needed it the most. Got cut three times while cleaning out the dead skin. And the shape is not clean either. Won't be back.

    Months later and I'm STILL dealing with the fallout from this awful manicure. The lady doing my nails used a nail drill to remove my Gel-X nails and drilled off so much of my actual nail; she filed my nails down so thinly that I essentially have to grow out the entire nail to get back a smooth surface, as seen in the photos. You can see where the drilled down nail is still not drown out. I am only updating because I have had to pay money and take time to repair this damage.

    Gel x manicure
    Elena M.

    Went in for a Gel X manicure with Cece, and I'm so glad I did! She had such great attention to detail--every nail was perfect. Plus, she recommended this beautiful color that I didn't even know I needed in my life. They have a ton of new and interesting colors, so if you love variety, this is your place. I booked a same-day appointment with no issues, which was super convenient. Now, the vibe is a little... minimalist. Don't expect a super spa-like atmosphere. It's pretty quiet, with everyone glued to their phones (thanks to the handy little phone stands at each table--mystery solved!). That said, it felt clean and sanitary, and for the quality of work, the price was pretty great! All in all, if you're after a detailed manicure without the frills, I'd definitely recommend.

    Most amazing nails ever!! Such attention to detail and the nicest. Vivi was very good and took special care to nail the design.

    Love the shape and color of my powder mani!

    I had a great experience getting a powder mani and gel pedi here! I made an appointment beforehand. Everyone was very friendly and the space was relaxed. My nail tech Nana was so meticulous and took her time to make sure each nail was uniform and perfect. After a few days, my nails are looking just as great as when I left the salon. I'll definitely be back when it's time for a touch up!

    Great work! Price is decent for gel x. Builder gel is too expensive in my opinion. Highly recommend Joanna!

    My first time trying this place out! Called Saturday morning and was able to get an appointment in the afternoon. I like that when I arrived for my appt I was seated right away. The space is very clean and well aerated. Kayle did my nails. I initially just came for gel pedicure but ended up really liking the experience and asked if I could stay for a mani. For my pedi I really liked that she asked me questions regarding my preferences and would adjust if I asked her to change something. For my mani I've always gotten the gel-X and this was the first time has ever told because I have a slight curve to my nails I should get the sculpted gel x . And it really sat on my nails SO much better than what I've had in the past . I got ombré gel X mani and it's beautiful! I really have no complaints. She finished it off with a nice hand, arm, shoulder, and back massage. Will definitely be coming back !!

    Tortoise shell French with a cherry on the ring finger

    My first time at Rika nail salon and I am convinced it is THE BEST NAIL ART IN THE CITY. I asked for a tortoise nail french with cherries on the ring finger and Rika's DELIVERED without hesitation. Definitely coming back for all my nail art needs.

    My happy feet

    I called first they had an opening very quiet mellow vibe in salon. Linda was professional as well as the other employees. Fast efficient and kind gentle touch. Love my pedicure I got the callus and massage one for $55. I work on my feet and desperately needed it. Also my toes stick together and she didn't give me grief about my genetics lol I don't live here but I would definitely recommend this place. Great vibe and service. Super clean also as I am really picky nice bathrooms & music upbeat feeling.

    please avoid this place. they use really cheap products that are not up to par. look at all their 1 star reviews of chipped gel manicures after only 2 days. $50 down the drain. also, the tech, miki, is really lazy and unprofessional. she doesn't take her job seriously or do it well. this is a photo of gel manicure 1.5 days after doing it and it's already chipping!

    Full set with designs
    Alexis V.

    Amazing service! Cici (I hope I'm spelling that right) was so patient with me. I came in with very time consuming designs that i wanted done and not only was she patient but she did a beautiful job. 10/10 can't wait to come back

    They consistently do a good job for a great price. I typically get a design and they always ensure it's done with great care.

    It was an average service. There was a lot of people and it felt really rushed. I got one color gel manicure for 52 dollars.

    Beautiful, newish and clean (or so I thought) nail salon. I always pass by so I decided to stop in…read morebecause they offer structure gel. Service was friendly. The structure gel took a long time so I thought it was going to be perfect and last long. However the very next day (10/3) I got a big chip. Went back to fix it (10/4) and then the next day (10/5) I see that many of my fingers have small chips that are most likely going to turn into big ones. To top it all off my finger is swollen, red, warm and tender!!! The tenderness began a day after on 10/3, as if from an infection. But by 10/5 my finger was swollen as if it was going to burst and 10/6 the cuticle was filled with puss. They did clip my cuticles alottttt. Like first one lady prepped my nails and clipped the cuticles but then the lady who actually applied the gel did it again before she started. So I'm pretty sure it's from that. I wanted to love this place but I'll never be back. I guess that's what I get for trying an out a spot and not sticking with my old faithful and to think I paid $85 for this service plus a tip. Update: I went back today 10/6 and was refunded. They were apologetic but I still won't be back.

    A surprising oasis in the crowded nail space. The host was really sweet: I really just wanted my…read morenails soaked, and my cuticles cleaned up, and of course that's not an option anywhere, so she taught me to bring a bunch of OPI colors over to pick a tint closest to clear that I'd vibe with. Angela was super sweet and expert, and the whole experience (organic manicure) was $30 cash, and I felt fab afterwards. Give it a whirl, and see for yourself!
