They actually listen to what you ask for! I will keep coming back here for dip nails. They are smooth, not bumpy or uneven, and they are thin, not huge chunky nails. Very friendly staff read more

I've been here a few times for both gel manicures and spa pedicures. The pedicures have been great and they usually do a really amazing job. The manicures on the other hand.... First of all, they have an EXTREMELY small choice of colors compared to the other salons that I've been too which is annoying when you are looking for something specific or a little bit different. Unlike most salons, they don't invest in OPI or the more popular and tested brands so that's probably what leads to the majority of people here on yelp complaining about chipping gel nails in less than a week. I got my nails done on May 26th around 5 PM and am already dealing with chipping and a peeled nail 6 days later! (See Pictures) It's ridiculous! This is like the third time I've gotten a manicure here and it's chipped in less than a week. I like the salon itself, some of the techs are rude and others are more friendly. It's also odd that I saw someone turned away because a tech "doesn't do acrylic." I understand specialties, but I would expect every tech to be capable of doing tips at the very least. They, also, will use drills to get your gel off which I hate and will give you attitude when you ask to just soak them longer. All in all, I won't be back and this place really needs to do better. read more

I have been coming to this Nailshop since I moved to AZ in 2018. Whether you get your nails done by John or Lee, you will be amazed. They are the very best. We all know how hard it is to find the perfect nailshop. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond. The pedicure options are amazing, they have several spa options for pedicures and the experience is truly relaxing. I love everyone here. The whole family treats you like family and makes sure you are very satisfied with your results. You will be happy!! ...Sally A read more

Riley's Nails & Spa - Acrylic fill - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

So me and the hubby are visiting from Los Angeles. I come on Yelp this spot is number one and right up the street. We walk in ask for 2 mani/pedi. There are 2 ladies working on 2 customers. No other customers. She speaks to someone in the back. A guy pokes his head from the back looks at us shakes his head no. Then another guy peers around the door says something then shakes his head no. She says we can't do you. Just flat out we can't, not come back later were busy ( which they weren't) maybe tomorrow. Just no. Well we left and went to Pink across the street. They were super busy ( 10+) customers. But the lady was nice said I'm busy can you wait or come back. We waited. I see why Riley had 2 customers on a Friday compared to the neighbor shops. If I was you spend your money where it's appreciated. Avoid this place. read more

This is my second visit. First time I came in my lunch hour. Lee got me done within 40 minutes. They are very kind and my nails are on point! Def recommend! read more

Great experience my first time in. They are very detail oriented and made sure my nails are exactly how I wanted them. The luxury pedicure was amazing! Prices were very reasonable. They also pay great attention to cleanliness. read more

Riley's Nails & Spa - Manicure with SNS - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I called ahead and asked if I needed an appointment for a fill.. a gentleman answered and said no but if I could come over now would be best. I said great! When I walked in there was only one customer inside just finishing a pedicure. I was greeted by the only employee and told to pick my color I said I'd like matte black and I have pictures of designs. She said ok but apparently wasn't listening. She took me back a few minutes later. As she was dremeling my designed nails she asked me again about color, I reiterated the above.. and showed her my pictures~ she then started yelling at me 'she no do design' I said why wouldn't you have stated that in the beginning.. she said that's my problem I should have asked, I said what do you think I did when I walked in? I said listening is an essential skill! She proceeded to be rude. When she was done she just stood up and walked away.. I paid $40 for shit job. I tipped because she did a service but do not go here! Heed my warning. It was dirty inside. She turned away multiple customers because she said they were full no one was even in there! As she was yelling at me she stated she's been doing this for 35 years.. well she should seriously stop. read more

Lee is a nail goddess and she is so so sweet. I've been coming to her shop for 4 years now and have never left unsatisfied. The whole staff is kind and does a great job. Definitely would suggest making an appointment as walk-ins typically have to wait depending on the day and time. I used to get gel but Lee talked me into switching to SNS and I've never gone back to gel. I'm obsessed with SNS and they just added a bunch of new colors to choose from. Thank you for always giving me beautiful nails Lee! read more

I'm baffled by how horrible this experience was . I started with on nail tech, he wondered off without telling me why with his car keys . So then another nail tech came by and tried to finish . She left 7 times in the middle of it . Then picked off dip powder off my skin . This is the final result for $40 and 1 and a half hours of my day . read more

Sometimes a girl just wants to be pampered! My friends and I came in last minute for a girls' day. They were willing to fit us in on such a short notice and were super nice and accommodating even when they were so busy! We received manis, pedis and one of my friends even received a full set. Their prices are very affordable and they did an amazing job in a very timely manner. Soooo many colors to choose from and I think I saw that they had a lot of color selection for SNS gel? I would recommend calling before you come in to see how busy they are. We left feeling completely satisfied and pampered! Thanks for the the amazing service. Will be back next time we are in town for a girls' day! read more

I do not recommend this place at all. I'm new in town so I took to Yelp for gel manicure advice. I decided to give this place a call. I called to ask if they provide matte gel manicures and they said yes so I booked an appointment and headed over. After choosing my color I sat down with the tech and told her I'd like this color in a matte finish. She was instantly confused and turned to her coworkers to ask if they did this. They all agreed so we continued. For a gel manicure, my tech back home never used a drill. She used a nail file and buffer to hand file the nails in preparation for the gel. This tech went full on with the drill and really damaged my nails. When she did the polish, the finish was not matte at all either. My nails are still healing 2 months later.... read more

*Sigh* I feel bad, because Riley's has been my nail salon for a few months now and I have loved going to them. It's cheap, it looks good, and the people there are friendly. They made me justify getting my nails done every couple weeks, something I love to do but had stopped doing for a year or so because it was an expensive thing to keep up with. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. I finally had to take my acrylic nails off today because they were just too grown out and I wasn't going to get a new set done for another few days. Unfortunately when I got to my my right thumb and index finger I saw what I'm assuming is either a form of nail fungus or Pseudomonas, a bacterial infection. I have never, ever in my life had a bacterial or fungal infection in all my years going to salons. It is obvious that there is a problem with the way they are disinfecting things here, and I was unlucky enough to get this. Now I can't get my nails done until it's gone, and who knows how long that will take. And, as you can see in the picture, my nails are TERRIBLE from the acrylic (Not their fault, just sad I'm going to have ugly, painful nails for a month at the very least). Nothing against anyone who works there. But please, please sanitize your utensils! I cannot recommend that anybody try this place now. The cheap manicures are not worth an infected nail. Sorry Riley's. :( TL;DR: Cheap manis aren't worth fungal/bacterial infections read more

Always a good job on my acrylic set when I come here! The guy here did a good job again! For some reason it is about $5 more than what I'd pay at the only other place I'm willing to get my nails done, but it's worth it. My first choice when choosing a salon to get my nails done. read more

Riley's Nails & Spa - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Nice Place, Menu Should Be More Flexible... I came in with already great toenails since I like to do my own every Sunday as part of my Sunday ritual. I however wanted to get the pedicure to remove foot calluses so I saw the reviews and it is only $20 so in I went. I got in and found out it is $30 for the Luxury Pedicure if you want the callus removal. normal they do your nails and I felt it would have made sense to not charge me full price for half the job... But I agreed and sat in the chair. The lady did a decent job for the most part, but I realized when I got home there was still good deal of callus left on my foot bottoms.... Kind of a bummer after paying $30 to get that taken care of... All in all the parking lot is under construction and I didn't really get what I came for so I will give them an OK rating, but not a great one. read more

I have been to about 10 nail salons since moving to Phoenix. From Queen Creek to Tempe I have been so disappointed with the quality of nail techs here, BUT not here at Riley's. It had been quite a while since I had walked out of the nail salon truly happy with my set. The older gentleman that did my set was amazing. From my shape to the overlay being just thin enough to look real, it was all an amazing experience. I suggest you make an appointment if you can because they are busy. They do have regulars that they take in usually by appointment so I saw some people get upset because they did not have time for them when they walked in. They took about 3 walk ins during my visit and although it might look like someone is not doing something in the back usually they are waiting for appointments to come in, so just be understanding. Can't wait to go back. They also have the best prices in the valley! I got a fill and gel set plus the luxury pedicure. Very nice and professional people I didn't feel at all pressured to make small talk just went and enjoyed my me time. read more

Had a wonderful experience tonight at RIley's Nail salon. I highly recommend this sweet nail salon. This was my first time going here and I brought my grandma here as well. I read the Yelp reviews and looked at photos and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did!. The customer care is extraordinary. In the couple hours we spend there getting our nails done we experienced such kindness and quality service. My grandma is 90 and has delicate feet as well as arthritis. Often times it is painful for her to get her nails done but on this occasion the lady who did her nails was so caring and sensitive that my grandma relaxed and was not in pain because of rough treatment. I watched the girl carefully treat my grandma's feet with softness and ease like if it was her own grandma. I can not appreciate that enough. My own nails came out lovely. I enjoyed very much the fact that I did not feel rushed here. Yes, they had several customers but they took there time with my feet to ensure me the best service possible. I got gel hands with ombré sparkles and the beautiful big apple color. Perfect for Christmas! Another thing I truly appreciated was the fact that they did not have an annoying T.V. Playing like most nail salons. Instead , this nail salon had relaxing and easy going music on there t.v. Which made the atmosphere so much better. Thank you So much RIley's Salon for a wonderful relaxing evening. Can't wait till I'm back in town to come again! read more

Came here as an out-of-town visitor who accidentally cracked their acrylic while on vacation. They were very helpful and nice, the wait time was not too long, considering that I was a walk-in. Very inexpensive and well worth your money. Lots of color choices and workers. read more

Riley's Nails & Spa - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I absolutely love Riley's! Everyone there never fails to make me laugh or smile! Not only is customer service great here but so is everyone's work! And when I say everyone, I mean it! I have been coming to Riley's for about 6 months now and I am always satisfied. I have recommended Riley's to numerous friends and family, and they agree! Prices are cheap and the quality is great! Now my last visit I tried a new powder dip they offer, rather than gel. (However, same price.) This dip powder is all NATURAL! There is a Vitamin E and Calcium serum that is a base coat for your nails. Then another serum is used a coat, after that your nail is dipped in the powder of the color of your choosing, and boom DRY! It is a few re applied coats and dips but believe when I say it is great! Plus, there is no UV light used for this process. So it is much healthier for your nails! Since I've got them done I have got tons of compliments on my nails and I am so happy with them! If you are not at Riley's, you are really missing out! read more

I was looking for a nail salon to get pedicures after moving here from out of state. This place was great! I got the Deluxe Pedicure, which was only $30, but you got so much out of it (and my feet have never felt softer). I went on a Saturday afternoon, so there was a little bit of a wait, but it was definitely worth it! Everyone was nice, professional, and attentive. The fact that it's right down the road from my apartment is just a nice bonus. Tip: If you have to go on a weekend, I would suggest calling and making an appointment. read more

Have had such an amazing experience every time I go! They attend to you quickly and are always super nice. I have gotten the best pedicures from this place as well for $35 I always get the parraffin wax and i swear it keeps my feet soft for longer than any other place I've had. The own was kind and did a perfect job on my nails + toes. They're literally perfect and I'll be going there again forsure, 10/10 reccomend read more

I love this place! I found them through Yelp when I was in Phoenix for business. I've now gone there twice in less than four weeks and have seen Lee both times. It's hard to find someone that knows how to use dip on your nails and she nails it (pun intended). I will continue to come here every trip to Phoenix! read more

I asked for the design that I saw on their Yelp pics. They must have changed owners and technicians, because it is not the quality that I expected.

Riley's Nails & Spa - DND 484 is the pink shade I have on here. - Waxing Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

this place is terrible, I got the male technician and he could care less about giving good service. I don't know who everyone else encountered but my experience was horrible. My cuticles and fingers were bleeding, the acrylic nails are slanted, the gel is applied unevenly, and applied directly to my cuticles. When I asked him to clean it up he told me no and would scoff at any suggestion to not be so rough or messy with the nail polish. I am beyond disappointed and to top this all off he charged me more than the quoted price. Please stay away from this establishment and go anywhere else. read more

I made an appointment here for my friend and I to get pedicures 2 weeks ago. The appointment was originally for last Saturday. I had to reschedule for this Saturday (today) and called them to do so. Today, my friend and I walk in and tell the owner (I imagine he was) that we are here for an appointment for Vanessa. He is already becoming very irritated because he can't hear me very well since we are all wearing masks. He starts flipping through the appointment book and he couldn't find me for today. He goes back to last Saturday, and says my appointment was last weekend (he was extremely rude about this for the record). I let him know that I had rescheduled. He asked me who I spoke to... as if I got the person's name? Clearly, whoever answered my call for rescheduling didn't switch me in the appointment book. And that most certainly doesn't warrant the owner to be a total jerk for the mistakes of his employees. I was a new client to this place because of the reviews on yelp but I am afraid to say that yelp dropped the ball on this one. VERY RUDE OWNER! Beware! We walked out to go down the road to Polish Me Pretty Nail Bar. Much nicer relative to their employees and salon layout. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
